What this means
The Board signed off on routine purchases and contract updates, approved permissions for several new local businesses to operate with specific conditions, and approved redevelopment plans for the village aquatics center that change parking and lighting requirements. Residents in the affected area will receive Special Census mailings with a code to complete an online form; census responses by web should prevent a census worker from visiting. Road work timing may be delayed for some projects while others remain on schedule.
