The Plan Commission held public hearings and discussed two separate rezoning applications. The first involved rezoning 65.7 acres from agricultural to residential to allow for the development of seven single-family residential homes. The second involved a request to rezone a smaller parcel from RRC to R-1 to meet setback requirements for the construction of a single-family home. Following the public input and consideration of these items, the Commission voted to recommend approval for both rezoning requests to the Town Board.

The meeting included the acceptance of a resignation and the appointment of a new secretary for Sanitary District #2, as well as the appointment of a temporary commissioner for Sanitary Districts #2 and #3. The Board approved rezoning ordinances for two separate land parcels, authorized an amendment to the borrowing agreement and promissory note with Sanitary District #3, and passed a resolution for the sale of general obligation promissory notes. Additionally, the Board authorized travel for fire department employees for training, addressed ordinance enforcement actions for several properties, and approved a permit request for a community event at Firehouse Park. A closed session was held regarding a development agreement, leading to the authorization of the sale of an investment interest in an open session.

Key discussions included updates from the Department of Public Works (DPW) regarding the installation of a Ga Ga pit, the placement of new ADA compliant chips in playgrounds, and plans for painting and sealing signs across various park locations. A significant action item involved the discussion and subsequent approval to rename Waterworks Park to Waterworks Wayside, including the addition of a historical plaque. Progress on the Fire Fighter Memorial was reviewed, noting that all memorial pavers have been placed, and strategies for soliciting paver donations were discussed. The committee also addressed future rental fee reviews for park rentals, scheduling a block of three days in July 2026 for the Lions Fest to ensure exclusive use of the shelter, and reviewing a request for a memorial donation of up to $5,000.

The meeting commenced with the approval of the agenda.
