Kewanee City Council Meeting Review from July 28, 2025

The Kewanee City Council addressed several key measures in its latest session. Approval was granted for a variance, allowing Brian Rowlison to exceed accessory structure height limits on Simpson Avenue. A Special Use Permit was also issued to Tracy Glasgo for property on North East Street. Budget decisions for the next fiscal year were postponed, as was the Sidewalk & Scooter Ordinance. Maintenance under the Illinois Highway Code received a green light, along with an agreement for Hutchison Engineering to promote South Street transportation improvements. Council members also discussed sidewalk reimbursement policies and potential regulations for outside eating areas but took no formal action.
