Here are the minutes provided by the council:

“PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PRMOPOSED PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF  EAST PEORIA AND UNDERHAM LLC (Part of PIN 05-05-02-302-016; 2518 Bloomington Road, East Peoria).” 

Motion by Commissioner Mingus, seconded by Commissioner Sutherland; Mr. Mayor, I move that the City  Council recess the Regular Meeting to hold a public hearing.  

Yeas: Commissioners Hill, Mingus, Sutherland and Mayor Kahl. 

Nays: None 

Mayor Kahl declared the motion carried and the Regular Meeting recessed to hold a public hearing at 6:02 P.M. 

Those present were the following: Mayor John P. Kahl, Commissioner Mark E. Hill, Commissioner Seth D.  Mingus, and Commissioner Michael L. Sutherland. 

Absent: None. 

Mayor Kahl called the Public Hearing to order with proper notice having been given. Mayor Kahl explained the  purpose of the public hearing is to receive comments on the proposed pre-annexation agreement between the  City of East Peoria and UNDERHAM LLC (Part of PIN 05-05-02-302-016; 2518 Bloomington Road, East  Peoria). He turned the discussion over to Director of Planning and Community Development, Ty Livingston.  Director Livingston explained that the agreement contemplates that should the City grow out to this property  within the next 20 years, then it will be annexed into the City. At this point, the property is a substantial distance  from the city limits or available water and sewer services. As such, this approach makes sense from a future  growth perspective. He explained that this is a procedural step for public input for the proposed pre-annexation  agreement.  

Mayor Kahl asked for any comments from the audience regarding the proposed pre-annexation agreement.  

Richard Morris, who lives near this property at 2702 Bloomington Road and who is a part of the homeowner’s association for eight properties just east of this the proposed property in the pre-annexation agreement area  and many of the properties are on a well for water. He explained that there may be houses to the East of the  property in the proposed pre-annexation agreement that may want to annex to alleviate some potential future  issues with water.  

Mayor Kahl asked for any other comments from the audience. There was no response. Mayor Kahl asked for any comments from the City Council.  

Commissioner Sutherland explained that he is all for bringing in water if possible.  

Mayor Kahl asked for any other comments from the City Council. There was no response.

Yeas: Commissioners Hill, Mingus, Sutherland and Mayor Kahl. 

Nays: None 

Mayor Kahl declared the motion carried and the Regular Meeting reconvened at 6:05 P.M.
