Herrin meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Herrin agendas list fire radios, wastewater plant change order; no votes yet recorded

Herrin City Council's Oct. 12 agenda listed a lease purchase for Fire Department radios, a change order for wastewater treatment plant rehabilitation, and adoption of the 2027 Council meeting and holiday schedules. The meeting was also set to include review of financial reports.

No minutes from the Oct. 12 meetings have been published, according to the records reviewed. That means the agendas show what was scheduled for discussion or action, not what was decided. No vote tallies, dollar amounts, or outcomes are available in the documents provided.

City Council, Oct. 12

The council's listed business items were:

• Adoption of 2027 Council Meeting & Holiday Schedules
• Lease purchase for Fire Department Radios
• Change order for WWTP East Primary Clarifier Rehabilitation for Mohan Industrial Coatings

The wastewater item concerns the East Primary Clarifier at the city's wastewater treatment plant, with Mohan Industrial Coatings named in the agenda language. A change order typically modifies an existing contract, but the agenda does not state the amount, the scope of the change, or the terms of the radio lease purchase.

Finance Committee, Oct. 12

The Herrin Finance Committee met the same day with a single business item on its agenda: Fire Department Radios. The committee's agenda does not indicate whether the item was for review, recommendation, or another purpose, and no minutes have been published.

The radio item therefore appears on both the council and Finance Committee agendas for the same date. The records provided do not establish the order in which the bodies took up the item or how the two relate.

Public Improvement Committee, Oct. 12

The Herrin Public Improvement Committee met Oct. 12 to discuss the CEO Program. No other business items were listed on that agenda. The record does not describe what the CEO Program is, who administers it, or what the committee was asked to consider.

What the records do not show

All three Oct. 12 entries are agenda-only. Nothing in the supplied material confirms that any item was approved, rejected, tabled, or amended, and nothing establishes attendance or vote counts. Residents seeking the outcome of the radio lease purchase, the clarifier change order, or the 2027 schedule adoption would need the published minutes, which were not available in the records reviewed.

Coming up

The Public Improvement Committee is scheduled to meet Oct. 26. Its agenda lists two discussion items: the CEO Program and building codes regulation.

The CEO Program item carries over from the committee's Oct. 12 agenda. Building codes regulation is new to the listed business. As with the earlier meetings, the agenda does not indicate whether either item is scheduled for a recommendation or a vote.

No other meetings appear in the upcoming schedule provided for the next 14 days.

Herrin agendas list fire radios, wastewater plant repairs and 2027 schedules; no votes yet on record

Herrin's City Council, Finance Committee and Public Improvement Committee all had items on their agendas for meetings dated Oct. 12, according to the meeting summaries available this week. No minutes have been published for any of the three, so none of the items below can be reported as decided. What follows is what was scheduled for discussion or action, as listed.

City Council: radios, plant repairs, 2027 calendar

The City Council agenda listed three business items alongside a review of financial reports:

• Adoption of 2027 Council Meeting & Holiday Schedules
• A lease purchase for Fire Department radios
• A change order for WWTP East Primary Clarifier Rehabilitation for Mohan Industrial Coatings

The radio item concerns how the city would pay for fire department radios through a lease purchase arrangement. The wastewater item is a change order — a modification to an existing agreement — tied to rehabilitation work on the east primary clarifier at the wastewater treatment plant, with Mohan Industrial Coatings named in the agenda summary.

The 2027 meeting and holiday schedule item would set the council's calendar for next year. The agenda summary does not include proposed dates.

No vote tallies, dollar amounts or outcomes were included in the material available. Whether the council acted on any of these items is not established by the record provided.

Finance Committee: Fire Department radios

The Herrin Finance Committee's agenda listed a single business item: Fire Department Radios. The summary does not describe what the committee was asked to review — for example, a funding source or a recommendation to the council — and does not include an amount.

Because the council agenda separately listed a lease purchase for the same radios, the topic appears before both bodies. The record provided does not state the order of consideration or whether one body's action depended on the other.

Public Improvement Committee: CEO Program

The Herrin Public Improvement Committee met with one item on its agenda: the CEO Program. No other business items were listed. The summary does not describe the program, what the committee was asked to do, or whether any action was taken.

What the record does not show

All three entries are agenda-only. Minutes have not yet been published, so this roundup cannot report what was approved, rejected, tabled or discussed in detail. No dollar figures, vote counts, contract terms or effective dates appear in the summaries. Readers who need the official record should consult the published agendas and, once available, the minutes from the City of Herrin.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed for the next 14 days in the data available for this roundup. That absence reflects the listing provided and is not evidence that no meetings are scheduled. Residents should check the city's official meeting postings for any added or rescheduled sessions, including any continuation of the Oct. 12 items.

Herrin agendas take up fire radios, wastewater plant repairs; no votes yet on the record

Herrin's City Council and two committees were scheduled to meet on Oct. 12, with agendas covering Fire Department radios, wastewater treatment plant rehabilitation, and the city's 2027 meeting calendar. As of Oct. 13, minutes for all three meetings had not been published, so no votes, dollar amounts, or outcomes are confirmed in the records available.

City Council: fire radios, wastewater plant work, 2027 schedules

The City Council agenda for Oct. 12 listed three items: adoption of the 2027 Council Meeting & Holiday Schedules; a lease purchase for Fire Department radios; and a change order for WWTP East Primary Clarifier Rehabilitation for Mohan Industrial Coatings. The meeting summary also states the Council was to review financial reports.

The summary describes the body as deciding on the lease purchase and the change order. Because minutes are not yet published, the record does not establish whether any of these items were voted on, approved, rejected, or tabled. No contract value, lease amount, or change-order total appears in the material provided.

Finance Committee: Fire Department radios

The Finance Committee's Oct. 12 agenda listed a single business item: Fire Department Radios. The same subject appears on the City Council agenda as a lease purchase. The available records do not state what the committee was asked to recommend, what the radios would cost, or how many would be purchased. No minutes have been published.

Public Improvement Committee: CEO Program

The Herrin Public Improvement Committee was scheduled to meet Oct. 12 to discuss the CEO Program, the only business item listed on its agenda. The records provided do not describe the program, its cost, or what action, if any, the committee was asked to take. No minutes have been published.

What the items concern

The agenda items touch on emergency communications equipment, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and the schedule of public meetings and holidays for 2027. The records supplied do not include staff reports, cost estimates, or supporting documents for any of the three meetings.

What is not established

All three entries are agenda-only. That means the listed items were set for discussion or possible action, not that action occurred. This roundup cannot report a tally, a dollar figure, or a final outcome for any item, and it does not. Missing minutes are not evidence that a vote did not happen; it means the outcome is not yet documented in the material available.

Coming up

The data provided lists no upcoming meetings for the next 14 days. That is not evidence that none are scheduled. It means no upcoming meetings were included in the records supplied for this roundup. Residents who want to attend or track the items above should check the city's official postings for City Council and committee calendars, and watch for the Oct. 12 minutes to be published.

The linked official agendas and, once available, the minutes are the authoritative record.

Herrin council weighs water, sewer, trash fee changes; subdivision plat on Monday agenda

The Herrin City Council on July 27 considered ordinances to amend water, sewer, and trash collection rates, along with other items, according to the meeting agenda. No decisions have been published because minutes are not yet available. The council also has an upcoming meeting on Aug. 10 to consider a subdivision plat.

City Council (July 27)

The council's agenda included three ordinances:

• Ordinance 9-2026: Amending Water Rates
• Ordinance 10-2026: Amending Sewer Rates
• Ordinance 11-2026: Amending Trash Collection Fee

Also on the agenda were a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) facade agreement for TKGM LLC at 218 N. 16th St., and engineering agreements with Horner & Shifrin, Inc. for improvements to Herrin Road and 13th Street. No vote tallies or dollar amounts were listed in the agenda.

Committees (July 27)

Two committees also met that day, both with agenda-only items.

The Public Improvement Committee discussed a TIF facade improvement request from TKGM LLC for the property at 218 N. 16th St. The agenda provided no details on cost or scope.

The Public Safety Committee reviewed a new hire for animal control and a request for a one-way street near Herrin Junior High. No further specifics were given.

Coming up

The City Council will meet on Monday, Aug. 10, at a time and location to be confirmed. The agenda includes:

• Approval of the Plat of Subdivision for Chittyville Estates
• Approval of meeting minutes from July 27, 2026
• Approval of accounts payable
• Treasurer's report and budget office report for July 2026

Public comment is open at the start of the meeting. Residents interested in the subdivision plat or the routine financial approvals may attend.

No decisions from the July 27 meetings have been published as of this writing. The council's actions on the rate ordinances and other items will be reported once minutes are released.

Herrin officials weigh utility rate changes, TIF facade project, and road engineering agreements

Herrin's City Council and several committees met over the past two weeks to take up utility rate ordinances, a TIF facade improvement request, animal control staffing, and a traffic proposal near Herrin Junior High. Because minutes have not yet been published for any of these meetings, outcomes and vote tallies are not available. The following is drawn from the published agendas.

City Council — July 27

The Herrin City Council agenda listed five items for consideration:

• **Ordinance 9-2026: Amending Water Rates**
• **Ordinance 10-2026: Amending Sewer Rates**
• **Ordinance 11-2026: Amending Trash Collection Fee**
• **TIF Facade Agreement for TKGM LLC at 218 N. 16th St.**
• **Engineering agreements with Horner & Shifrin, Inc. for Herrin Road and 13th Street improvements**

The agenda did not specify proposed dollar amounts for the rate changes or the TIF agreement. Minutes have not been published, so it is not yet known whether the council voted to approve any of these items.

Finance Committee — July 20

The Finance Committee was scheduled to review the city's water, sewer, and trash rates. The agenda did not list specific amounts or proposed changes. This discussion appears to precede the council's July 27 ordinances on the same utility fees, though the agenda alone does not confirm a direct link.

Public Improvement Committee — July 27

The Public Improvement Committee was set to discuss a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) request for a facade improvement by TKGM LLC at 218 N. 16th Street. The agenda provided no cost or scope details. The committee was to decide whether to approve the TIF application. No outcome is available.

Public Safety Committee — July 27

The Public Safety Committee agenda included two items:

• **Animal Control new hire**
• **Request for a one-way street near Herrin Junior High**

No further details on the hire or the traffic request were provided in the agenda.

Zoning Board of Appeals — July 20

The Zoning Board of Appeals met to conduct general business. The agenda listed an application under new business but did not identify the applicant, address, or nature of the request.

What this means for residents

The utility rate ordinances — if approved — would directly affect monthly water, sewer, and trash bills for Herrin residents. The TIF facade agreement and engineering agreements for Herrin Road and 13th Street improvements relate to downtown property and road infrastructure. The one-way street proposal near Herrin Junior High could affect traffic patterns for families and commuters in that area. Residents should watch for published minutes to learn what was decided.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents are encouraged to check the city's official postings for any newly scheduled meetings or special sessions.
