Baldwin boards take up digital billboard zoning, 2027 budgets and Comprehensive Plan across four meetings
Baldwin's village bodies met four times in the past two weeks, with agendas covering digital billboard zoning, the 2027 budget, a compensation policy and the 2026 Comprehensive Plan. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the four meetings, so no votes, final actions or outcomes are confirmed in the records available. What follows is drawn from the published agendas.
Digital billboard zoning draws a public hearing
The Planning Commission met Monday, October 5, at 6:00 PM at the Municipal Building, 400 Cedar Street, for a public hearing on proposed amendments to Zoning Ordinance Section 635.60, Restricted Signs, that would allow digital billboards. The agenda listed discussion and a possible recommendation following the hearing.
The Board of Trustees then listed the same subject on its October 14 agenda as a proposed zoning ordinance amendment to allow digital billboards. Because the Planning Commission's minutes are not yet published, it is not established what recommendation, if any, the Commission forwarded.
2027 budget and village pay
The Budget and Finance Committee met October 12 to review 2027 draft budgets with department heads. The agenda lists no figures.
The Public Safety and Personnel Committee met Tuesday, October 6, at 5:30 PM at the Municipal Building. Its agenda covered a review of compensation for the Village Clerk, a wage and title proposal for the Administrative Assistant position under the Village Clerk, discussion and a possible recommendation of a 2027 Village Compensation Policy, and 2026 salary survey information. No dollar amounts or specific wage figures appear in the agenda text.
Comprehensive Plan and street assessments
The Board of Trustees' October 14 agenda listed adoption of the Village of Baldwin 2026 Comprehensive Plan and Resolution 2026-09 regarding the 2026 Street Project Final Assessment List. Both were listed for consideration; the record does not show whether either was acted on.
Personnel appointment listed
The Board's October 14 agenda also listed the appointment of Brady Thompson as Public Works Laborer at $31.50 per hour. The figure appears as stated on the agenda; the appointment is listed for board consideration, and no confirmation of a vote appears in the available record.
Habitat for Humanity easement language
Both the Planning Commission and the Board of Trustees listed revised driveway easement language for a Habitat for Humanity CSM application at 650 10th Av. The Planning Commission agenda called for discussion and a possible recommendation; the Board agenda listed the item for its October 14 meeting.
