Pleasant Hill village council passed the 2026 appropriations ordinance as an emergency to ensure the village can pay outstanding bills without delay.
- Council waived the three-reading rule to quickly adopt Ordinance 1170, keeping village operations and utilities on track.
- The 2026 budget closely mirrors last year’s totals, but funds were redistributed to support projects like improvements on Williams Street.
- Work on the Pleasant Hill firehouse roof is halfway complete, with the remaining construction scheduled for May.
- Council confirmed that budget appropriations can be adjusted at any time during the year through a resolution if expenses change.
- A planned executive session for a potential land purchase was postponed because proper public notice was not published as required.
- Council began reviewing a new default zoning district for annexed property to protect residential character without renumbering existing zoning districts.
- Proposed zoning changes would add digital notifications on village-managed websites and social media, in addition to newspaper notices, to better inform residents.
- The village council supports allowing small in-home daycare operations as a conditional use in the new zoning district while limiting large commercial daycare centers.
- Council members rejected a total ban on storing RVs and work trucks, favoring reasonable parking standards instead of strict prohibitions.
- A proposal to limit accessory structures to 192 square feet was deemed too restrictive, and council suggested allowing one structure up to 650 square feet.
- The proposed zoning rule requiring only in-ground swimming pools was rejected, as current village ordinances already address pool safety requirements.
