Summary
Ordinance No. 488, amending the Village Personnel Ordinance to add a Village Attorney position (the fourth appointed position), was presented and adopted on July 9, 2026; the Village Administrator said funding for the position has been approved in the current fiscal year budget.
Village Administrator Gregory Martin presented Ordinance No. 488 during a public hearing called at 7:05 p.m., which would add the newly created Village Attorney position to the Village Personnel Ordinance and Municipal Code. Martin said the Council had already approved funding for the Village Attorney position in the current fiscal year budget.

Martin said that once a candidate is selected, an employment contract will be presented to the Council for consideration and approval.
