What this means
The board approved changes to rental property rules, including clearer definitions for tenants and guests and a three-year inspection cycle for larger apartment complexes. It also approved a development agreement for Romeo Gardens Apartments as that property transitions from tax-credit housing to market-rate housing, with escrow set aside for parking lot maintenance. In addition, the village chose new software vendors for payroll and other core administrative systems because its current software is no longer supported.
