What this means

Residents can expect several routine and long-term village actions to move forward, including a new special service area process for Bell Works Townhomes and updated authority for utilities and telecom work in village rights of way. The board also approved labor agreements with the police chapter and Teamsters Local 700 for 2026 through 2028. A proposed street revitalization contract was not approved, so that project did not advance at this meeting.
