  you by Everlett. Oswego has reached a new boundary agreement
• 0:17
  with Yorkville designed to help clarify any jurisdictional questions as
• 0:22
  the area continues to grow. As development occurs, the boundary
• 0:27
  agreements identify what community will have jurisdictional control over that project,
• 0:32
  Oswego Development Services Director Rod Zenner told village trustees. At
• 0:37
  the January sixth Oswego Village Board meeting, trustees voted unanimously
• 0:42
  to approve the new twenty year agreement. A boundary agreement
• 0:45
  between the two municipalities expired in twenty twenty two. Oswego
• 0:50
  also recently approved a new twenty year boundary agreement with Plainfield.
• 0:55
  Yorkville and Oswego began discussions in twenty twenty two regarding
• 0:58
  renewing the boundary. At the same time these discussions began,
• 1:03
  the owner of Fox Bluff Vacation Cottage and damp RV
• 1:05
  Resort at eighty four to five Van Emmon Road near
• 1:08
  Illinois Route seven to one, previously Hideaway Lakes, sought to
• 1:11
  have the land annexed by Oswego or Yorkville. The City
• 1:15
  of Yorkville did not have interest in annexing the property,
• 1:18
  Zener said. The campgrounds approached the Village of Oswego to
• 1:22
  determine our interest in annexing the property. Oswego Village trustees
• 1:27
  in April twenty twenty two voted to annex Fox Bluff.
• 1:31
  The new boundary Agreement shows Fox Bluff on the Oswego
• 1:35
  side of the boundary line. We annexed it in twenty
• 1:38
  twenty two, so this is just kind of codifying what
• 1:42
  was established at that time. Oswego Village President Ryan Kaufman
• 1:46
  said the former Hideaway Lakes Campground was redeveloped as the
• 1:51
  Fox Bluff Vacation Cottage and RV Resort following the purchase
• 1:55
  of the property by Lance Beach in December twenty twenty.
• 1:59
  The guy who bought it and developed it really cleaned
• 2:02
  up a lot of the issues out there. Oswego Village
• 2:05
  administrator Dan dey Santo said he threw away an incredible
• 2:09
  amount of junk trailers and brought in high end trailers.
• 2:13
  De Santo said the new boundary Agreement remains basically the
• 2:16
  same as the previous one. All we did was just
• 2:19
  move it to include Foxbluff that we annexed in twenty
• 2:21
  twenty two. He said,
