What this means

Residents will see continued work on North Grace Street, because the Board approved the funding paperwork needed to keep the roadway project moving and maintain eligibility for federal participation. The Board also approved buying a new village vehicle, replacing an older vehicle, and setting aside money for tree planting and software used by village departments. All of those items were approved on the consent agenda, meaning they were bundled together and passed with one vote.
