The committee approved a new medical and dental insurance plan for employees starting May 1, 2026. Staff said the medical renewal would have meant a large premium increase, and the City chose a BCBS of Illinois option while increasing how much it pays toward active employees’ premiums. The committee also approved moving a billboard tied to the Freeburg Avenue roundabout project and renewing the lease for 10 years. Instead of paying the listed $1,200 annual rent, the company will provide billboard advertising for Parks & Recreation. Members also reviewed the proposed FY2026-2027 budget, which totals $162,781,414, about 12% higher than the current original budget. The budget was not voted on at this meeting and is expected to come back for approval in April.
