The Village of Fox River Grove Board of Trustees voted Oct. 21 to approve Ordinance 2025-24, which reduces the village’s natural gas surcharge tax. The measure was passed as part of the consent agenda and was approved unanimously.
Trustee Devin Hester moved to approve the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Oct. 7 meeting, accounts payable and Ordinance 2025-24; Trustee Kirsten Wall seconded. The roll-call vote recorded "yes" from Trustee Devin Hester, Trustee David Joseph, Trustee Andrew Migdal, Trustee Kirsten Wall and Village President Marc W. McLaughlin. The motion passed.
The meeting minutes in the public record note the ordinance by name but do not specify the amount of the reduction, projected budgetary impacts or the effective date. That information was not included in the minutes and is listed as not specified in the village record of this meeting.
No public comment or debate on the ordinance appears in the minutes. The board proceeded to other agenda items after the unanimous consent vote.
