Clerk Clears the Air: Says Village Will Conduct Business “By the Book”; Audit Looks Good

September 16, 2026 by Kathy Sands

The Clerk's part of a Village board meeting is not usually vocal, but at the September meeting of the Enfield Village board, Clerk Kayla Weaver wanted to clear the air, presumably due to questions she was getting;

"Before we start tonight's meeting, I want to briefly clear the air about how items are placed on our village agenda. Specifically, last month's water rate review. There was confusion, including claims that the items shouldn't have been included on old business, or that it appeared unexpectedly. To be clear, the council was entirely correct to include it.

Months ago, the council voted, on the public record, to review water rates every quarter. Last month was the scheduled quarter, so the review was properly listed under old business according to Robert's rules. It stays off the agenda during off months to keep things clean, but when the designated quarter arrives, it must return so we can do our jobs. [Read more...]

Enfield Contracts Grant Writer, Sunday Alcohol Sales Start July 1

June 12, 2026 by Kathy Sands

The Enfield Village board voted on Tuesday night to amend their liquor license ordinance to allow Sunday sales of alcohol from 2:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. beginning July 1 for all classes of licenses issued in the Village. Attorney Jonathan Turpin told the board he would remove the old language barring sales on Sunday and insert the new language to allow it, with the accompanying details. The board also reviewed the liquor license fees, currently set to be paid quarterly, and approved a separate ordinance to give retailers a 30% discount if they paid the fee license for the entire year. That amounts to a $300.00 savings on a $1000 license fee. [Read more...]
