The City Council discussed ongoing projects and proposed actions. A pre-annexation agreement for 25W021 Geneva Road was authorized, allowing the property owners to connect to city water, with the condition that the city can consider annexation once the property becomes contiguous. A resolution was approved to engage Houzel Levine Associates LLC for a zoning ordinance update at a cost not exceeding $149,965, with an external law firm also to be consulted. The council also directed city staff to object to a DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals petition for Lucky Pennies on Gary Avenue, citing concerns about variations related to distance from a daycare and another video gaming establishment, which appear to circumvent county regulations.
