Mayor to Appoint 2nd Ward Alderman Tuesday Night

No word yet on who it will be, but Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns is expected to appoint a new 2nd Ward alderman Tuesday night.

Under the category of "public hearings, special items and presentations" at the Tuesday-night City Council meeting, Burns will appoint an alderman to fill the remainder of .

Piper resigned at the end of 2011 because he did not meet the residency requirements of the office. He moved out of the ward in May following a divorce and was unable to find residency in the 2nd Ward.

The appointment generally has to be accepted by the City Council as a whole, but based solely on a reading of the agenda, it looks as if there won't be any fight about that. Item "b" is "oath of office for 2nd Ward alderman."

Other items of interest include a special use for a nail salon, a Planned Unit Development approval for Dodson Townhomes at the southeast corner of South Street and Second Street and a one-year maintenance agreement for Fisher Farms property.

Here's the agenda:
