This meeting of the Oswego Village Committee of the Whole was held on May 27, 2025, at 6:00 PM in the Oswego Village Hall. Roll call showed all trustees present except Trustee Torres who arrived late, and no public comments were made. The only business conducted was a motion to enter closed session for pending litigation, personnel matters, collective bargaining, salary schedules, and property acquisition. The board unanimously approved the motion and reconvened in open session before adjourning to allow a short break ahead of the regular board meeting.

The motion was made and seconded, and the roll call vote was 6-0 in favor (Trustee Hughes, McCarthy Lang, Novi, Torres, Koenig, and Cooper all voting yes; President Kaufman present).
