Mayor Lowe began her report by thanking Council for the opportunity to serve as interim Mayor after Mayor Dowd’s untimely passing. Being newly elected for a four year term Mayor Lowe states that with Councils help her sincere wish is for successful growth and good fortune for our community.

Mayor Lowe asked if Council had any comments at this time. King stated he is looking forward to another four years and thanked Tolly for his hard work during his term. Tolly stated he will be happy to help in any way he can. Mahone commented that he is anxious to see annexations take place for the continued growth of the Village.

At this time the newly elected officials were called forward to take their official oath of office. After the official swearing in all took their seats and welcomed new member Howard Wise. Newly elected officials were Mayor Lowe and Council members Jon King, Howard Wise and Steve Ruot. All will serve four year terms.

In Attorney Antolines report he reminded Council of the Annexation Hearing immediately prior to the Regular Meeting at 7:00 P.M. on May 10^th. Antoline is hopeful that he will have all the annexation documents prepared. According to State Statute the annexation agreements can be changed at that time if necessary and last minute corrections can be resolved. Antoline also states that if issues come up about legal descriptions they may be changed at that time as well. These changes and corrections should not hinder the annexation process.

Mayor Lowe inquired of Attorney Antoline about the TIF project and when the Village should begin that process. Antoline reports receiving a copy of the TIF proposal from Dan Walker of Jacob and Associates. Antoline will contact Mr. Walker and request his presence at the June Regular Meeting.

Meeting adjourned.
