Will County Ad Hoc Ordinance Review Committee Meeting June 9, 2026

The Will County Ad Hoc Ordinance Review Committee met on June 9, 2026, to discuss updates and amendments to various county ordinances related to building codes, land use, and water resource management. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and approval of amendments to chapters concerning building codes, school site contributions, street naming and signage, and water resource ordinances. The committee addressed technical corrections such as updating web links, clarifying definitions, and adjusting ordinance language to improve clarity and legal compliance. A significant portion of the meeting focused on solar farm regulations, debating the extent of county control versus state preemption, with members emphasizing the importance of retaining some local oversight to negotiate conditions and community benefits. Motions were passed to amend ordinance language, including clarifying wetland delineation report requirements and updating media submission formats. The committee approved moving the revised ordinances to the executive committee for further consideration in July. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but policy decisions on solar farm regulation could impact future procurement and development activities in the county.
