September Updates

The Board of Trustees meeting that took place on September 22 included the following business:

The Annual Treasurer’s report for the Fiscal Year ending April 30, 2026 was approved. The report can be found here, pages 105-222.
Two grant applications were approved by the board for submission to the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program. (You can read about those grants here.) Because the grant application states that the award will cover 80% of a project, the Village must be prepared to pay 20% of each project. The Historic East Bridge project would cost the Village about $270,000 while the Path Connectivity Project (extending sidewalks from the Library to Prairie View Road) would cost the Village about $300,000. (Discussion here, page 5.)
The full meeting minutes can be found here, pages 4-6.

Also of interest:

If you missed the Data Center Wrap-up Discussion on October 20, you may be curious to read the minutes from that meeting here, on pages 9-13. We also shared an interview with Jason Tompkins, reflecting on the data center development process.

Upcoming Village Government meetings are:

November 10, Board of Trustees Study Session, 6 p.m.
November 17, Board of Trustees Study Session, 6 p.m.
November 24, Board of Trustees Meeting, 6 p.m.
