SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Authorizing the Execution of a Second Amendment to the Boundary Agreement Between the City of Aurora and the Village of Oswego.
PURPOSE:
On August 27, 2002 the City of Aurora approved a jurisdictional boundary agreement with the Village of Oswego with ordinance O2002-089. The agreement expired in 2022.
