Village leaders heard an informational presentation about what home rule is, what powers it can give a local government, and how other Illinois communities have used it. The discussion was explicitly not a decision on whether to pursue a home rule referendum. Staff also shared materials on referendum deadlines, public education limits, and the next four possible election dates between November 2026 and March 2028. No vote was taken on home rule.
