Nine referendums will be on ballots in Kane County for the hyper-local April 2 consolidated election.

They include questions of whether the Aurora West Branch Library at Washington Middle School should remain at the current location, whether officials should combine fire districts in the Dundee area, and whether voters should OK a Fox River and Countryside Fire District extension limit increase.

Huntley Library District will request $12.9 million to build an addition and remodel the library, the village of Campton Hills will ask voters their opinions on a video-gaming referendum, and  both Elburn and South Elgin each will put forward questions on a retailers and service occupation tax.

There is a $185 million school construction referendum for Barrington School District 220 and a request to increase the limiting rate for Oswego School District 308.

A few of the referendums only touch small portions of Kane County. The 72-square-mile School District 220, for example, is geographically located in four counties: Cook, Lake, McHenry and Kane. Oswego School District includes portions of Kendall, Kane and Will counties.

You can see referendum information on this page of the Kane County Clerk’s Office election website.
