City Council of the City of Sullivan, Illinois · March 23, 2026

Summary

Mayor Mossman said he will consult the bakery and city attorney about a bakery request to place a storage container on city property; commissioners raised parking, liability and boundary concerns. The council also agreed to revisit a proposed solar-panel ordinance after Commissioner Kirk completes his review.

Mayor Mike Mossman introduced a request by a bakery to place a storage container on city property and said he will speak with the bakery and coordinate with the city attorney before any action. Commissioner Doug Shook raised parking concerns and referenced another business using a parking spot for a smoker; Commissioner Mike Kirk noted prior agreements about alley and parking-lot boundaries. Mossman said he will finalize information and provide it to the council.

On a related regulatory item, Mossman introduced a proposed ordinance regarding solar panels within city limits and said the item will be revisited once Commissioner Mike Kirk's work on related updates is finalized. Kirk had earlier noted the city's ordinance needs revision to reflect recent state law and to require isolation switches and planning-and-zoning review for ground-mounted systems.
