OLD BUSINESS
Bristol Incorporation
Diane Blocker, owner of Blackberry Oaks Golf Course stated she was advised by their attorney at
this time to be removed from the map. The implication of being on the map would go to the
residences of Bristol for a vote if the City Council should say yes, and consequently they are non
residents and they would have no vote as to whether they would want to be annexed in or not. Diane
stated they would have to be removed from the map prior to the community voting of their desire to
be incorporated or not. Diane further stated she and Dave Powlowski had met this evening prior to
the City Council Meeting and Dave reassured Diane that should the City Council give their approval
to the Bristol Incorporation there would be a survey taken before it would go to the residents for a
vote. Attorney Kramer stated there would have to be a survey taken.
At this time Dave Powlowski stated that he and the Bristol Incorporation Committee have known all
along that Diane and Gary Blocker did not want their golf course part of the Bristol Incorporation
or Yorkville or Oswego for that matter. Dave stated that he has reassured the Blockers all along that
there would be a survey before this went to a vote to the residents to make sure their property was
not included. Dave stated that this has gone long enough, 2 years is a long time and he would like
the City Council to make a decision tonight.
A motion was made by Alderman Sowinski and seconded by Alderman Kot to authorize the written
consent of the United City of Yorkville for permission of the Bristol Township Incorporation group
to have the matter placed on a public referendum pursuant to Illinois Complied Statutes. There was
a period of discussion by the City Council Members. Clerk Simmons called the role:
