LISSNER Village Trustee J. PETRI Village Trustee C. PROCHNO Village Trustee Pursuant to a duly made and approved motion and a majority vote at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Village President and Board of Trustees on April 8,2003 this Executive Session was called to consider a Litigation matter. Number of pages attached: I Date(s) of review for release: December 2003 Date of approval for release: COPY 4/08/03 -6:45 p.m. Litigation Involuntary Annexation Lawsuits The Mayor reported that there are 7 areas of unincorporated pockets in the Village and that the Village needs to consider involuntarily annexing. The annexation proceedings on the Branigar Estates subdivision and Itasca Meadows Farm subdivision will bring legal challenges, and the Village needs to be prepared to defend these challenges if annexation is to be pursued. The consensus of the Committee was to review each parcel in detail. Items for consideration include: ■ Cost to install public improvements by the Village and costs on the homeowner to recapture those costs through a special assessment; • An analysis of the property tax costs versus benefits of the unincorporated property annexing to the Village; • The benefits to the Village of annexation; • Which Village Code requirements should be imposed immediately versus later; and, • What loss in revenue might the Village experience through reduced Water and Sewer fees? The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
