Top issues during term (20)
Core5 Industrial Development Annexation and Rezoning
Estimated to generate approximately $2.5 million in annual property taxes.
2026 Preliminary Property Tax Levy and EAV Projections
Preliminary levy of $13.033 million; the actual tax rate and impact on individual bills will be set in December.
Terabis Drive-Through Activation
Generates new commercial sales tax revenue and local construction jobs for the village.
Rot Farm Industrial and Commercial Development Proposal
The developer projects roughly $27 million in taxes from 2029-2040 and over $1 million a year for schools, but residents counter that even a 5-10% drop in Grand Park home values could erase that gain.
Police Department EOC Technology Upgrade
Up to $607,965.60 for the siren system.
Springbank Unit 3A Subdivision Final Plat
Fence ownership and maintenance costs between the two HOAs remain unresolved.
Bridge Graffiti Cleanup and Proposed Student Mural
Funded entirely by private donations and grants, with potential future collaboration on village public space enhancements.
Zoning Regulations for Arcade Businesses
No direct village cost — but a new local business could add sales tax revenue and a teen/family destination.
PEMA Volunteer Liability and Insurance Coverage
Potential future costs to provide municipal insurance coverage or reimburse medical expenses for injured volunteers.
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget & Financial Policies
Revenues are on track, and the special census is bringing in roughly $955,000 a year in extra state money.
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Rewrite
The rewrite itself doesn't cost residents anything directly, but the new standards will shape what developers can build — and how much housing variety the village gets — for decades.
DHL Plainfield Logistics Center Phase Two Development
Generates real estate tax revenue and shifts tax burdens, but requires significant coordination on infrastructure.
Police Department Personnel Matters
$40,000 annually for the AID contract.
Open Carry and Alcohol Consumption at Special Events
Potential increase in downtown business revenue during special events.
Bluestem Residential Subdivision Proposal
The development will generate impact fees for schools, parks, and libraries, along with municipal tax revenues.
Settlers Park Expansion via Marquette Land Conveyance
Strand Associates engineering amendment increases project cost to a not-to-exceed total of $68,100.00.
Data Center Moratorium Extension
None directly, though preventing under-resourced developments protects community infrastructure.
FY 2027 Streets Division Budget and Salt Storage
Design services capped at $59,780; construction costs come later.
Angry Chickz Drive-Through Special Use — 15732 S. Route 59
No direct village cost, but resolving the shared-driveway maintenance dispute could shift maintenance costs among the neighboring businesses.
