What this means

The biggest action was a budget change that adds money for greenspace incentives in Business District #2, insurance claims, purchased water and sewer treatment, parking system costs, and fire pension payments. The board also approved multiple purchases and service contracts, including new village vehicles, a skid-steer loader, water meter supplies, street and sidewalk work, catch basin cleaning, HVAC replacement in Village Hall, and electrical energy for water pumping. One zoning change for a learning center at 850 DuPage Avenue and another for a day care center at 408 S. Main Street both passed first reading, meaning they moved one step forward but were not final at this meeting. The board also reduced the number of Public Passenger Licenses from three to two and approved a temporary alcohol code change for an event at The Carlisle on May 2, 2026.
