Continued:
- Resolution to establish a guideline for staff regarding the capture of property taxes lost when property is annexed to the Village. The goal is to capture revenue which would have been generated by annexed property in the tax year following annexation in order to ensure that existing property tax payers do not subsidize operational or maintenance and infrastructure costs which should be paid for by the newly annexed properties.
- Consideration of the Plan Commission’s recommended denial of conditional use, final site plan and preliminary subdivision for Elegant Motors, 3330 Milwaukee Avenue.
