Finance Director Dahl reviewed January results, reporting a roughly $389,000 sales-tax receipt for October activity and higher-than-expected state income tax for the month. \"State income tax, 418,000. That was a large increase, 14.6% over 2024,\" Dahl said. Dahl also reported a December natural-gas-related receipt booked to capital projects of about $112,000 and highlighted top food-and-beverage retailers in town.

Dahl summarized several awarded and pending grants: two DCEO awards (one for $250,000 received in full, another for $100,000 secured), an ITEP grant application for about $3.9 million for a pedestrian bridge, community project funding of $750,000 with some disbursements already received, and another $500,000 community project allocation still in process.

Trustees then approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with Trotter and Associates for design engineering and bidding services for the Devlin plant expansion; during the presentation staff characterized the work as a roughly $2,000,000 infrastructure investment. The board's approval moved the project into design and procurement steps.

Dahl and trustees discussed the village's largest water projects, including a projected $80 million to $100 million sewer-plant expansion and nutrient-removal upgrades. Dahl said these larger projects are mostly intended to be financed by Illinois EPA loans offered at subsidized rates (about 1% in examples cited) and noted that some federal and state programs the village expects to use are subject to budgetary changes. \"I don't want to speculate,\" Dahl said when asked about risks, but he said the village is watching funding sources and possible changes to the WIFIA or other programs that could require larger local matches.

Why it matters: the Devlin plant work and other sewer upgrades are capital-intensive and the village relies on a mix of loans and competitive grants. If large state or federal subsidies were reduced, the board would need policy direction about alternative funding tools such as fee increases or different debt strategies.

No additional budget amendments or loan commitments were approved at the meeting beyond the design-engineering agreement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Board Meeting - February 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Village of Roselle received its Jan. 2025 treasurer's report on Feb. 24 and approved $2 million in design-and-bidding services for the Devlin wastewater treatment plant; finance staff cautioned that several larger sewer projects depend on state and federal funding streams that could change.","taxTitle","Roselle, DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",61691,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6308140,"Roselle residents urge village help for private lead service-line replacements",612,164000,776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2424958-23f2ccc35d215f69eafe7cb44b3bf822&start=164&end=776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2424958-23f2ccc35d215f69eafe7cb44b3bf822/thumbnail_164000.jpg","/articles/6308140/Roselle/DuPage-County/Illinois/Roselle-residents-urge-village-help-for-private-lead-service-line-replacements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6308140-d218baf85cb656f8a057aecfdbc66bdb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153305&Signature=Pt5wx~PQRV8WncRH5VvHKrqRTpzOpY7AIvRQNfdLNjZnxMB8sk~5bJ~vUj6eqtLx6lI8tmtMc~YkBjmHefV4~tgn3xTG0060aNn32TYZEtP2Q3tYz5tbfvOjuWnNmt9f7rJmfdghg2Z-2KW~kmo7p3XScF4yWihR9s9iC6HMdDYjd9sLJJoFPiTUwVOC4mCXnNPHA7jOEwIJx68~0hDvIxXvVHuuePLv7Big9RroGTunlBho1x~g8tAejpd056T0deXCd8wO7bz-ai3OWwOUjUjXDi2xd4HgFQf-~GqvcNzDcVb73fqSazLE0OP98hRWkLjGws7wxsDuFjPNvxkaEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Two Roselle residents asked the Village Board on Feb. 24 to help households pay to replace private lead service lines, calling the costs a public-health and fairness issue.

David Yocum told the board he and neighbors only recently learned their service lines are lead and that many homeowners have not been contacted about replacement requirements. \"I received a notice I had lehi pipe on October fourteenth of this fall,\" Yocum said, and he said only a fraction of the originally identified homes have been addressed.

Tom Swantek, who identified himself as a long-time Roselle resident, said he was worried about the health of family members and the expense of replacement. \"I don't know if I can afford a $10,000 replacement,\" Swantek said, noting that many neighbors are retired or on fixed incomes.

A village official responded for the record that the village is replacing publicly owned lead service lines but is not covering private service lines on homeowners' property. The official said private service lines were installed by developers or homeowners when houses were built and that the village's capital improvements budget this year exceeds its general operating revenue, enabling larger infrastructure investments. The official also said the village has a need-based relief process for eligible homeowners during installation and that homeowners who decline replacement must sign an EPA waiver acknowledging they were informed and opted not to replace their private line.

The public comments opened during the meeting's public-comment period; the board did not take a formal vote on the matter during the Feb. 24 meeting.

Why it matters: work to replace service lines can temporarily increase lead levels in household plumbing and replacement costs can be significant for older households and those on fixed incomes, speakers said. Residents requested clearer notice and consideration of financial assistance or subsidy options as the village proceeds with public-side replacements.","Two Roselle residents told the Village Board that private lead service-line replacements are a public-health and affordability problem; village officials said the municipality will replace public-owned lines but private in-home service lines remain the homeowner's responsibility and a limited need-based relief process and EPA waiver exist.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6308126,"Votes at a glance: Roselle Village Board, Feb. 24, 2025",230,2014000,2244000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2424958-23f2ccc35d215f69eafe7cb44b3bf822&start=2014&end=2244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2424958-23f2ccc35d215f69eafe7cb44b3bf822/thumbnail_2014000.jpg","/articles/6308126/Roselle/DuPage-County/Illinois/Votes-at-a-glance-Roselle-Village-Board-Feb-24-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6308126-d0131b03387e3faf8c1c379c62b7525e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153306&Signature=khiwhrqI1Rve~gxG4Wm-YSeHjrHMTpHo1kssJLdvexOnpOhWqYzVW04LveOQ9PXcoEHsiVNKToPISTcARHnRjMrOKf3eyGMuzmA7vq~LMV5A-BJ7oMEx4PA5gkv8m~z5z6qrwI8DeEhL8iukyaJfUh4Egp5MZ8oa-iS18df6Z3oxQ4x1hUkIBMPdH2rR68UuK60Cg~CEgJnnAc29afiTw0XsUfxOyJTGrcEtBNW0ttGMutYeY60dWwEX2X0x5pcFpVi7DoJAogJ8pO6NR4yMGpGlQKZAFdr5ZLBgyHJXvsBcSdwNwAPIArLBHjTSBPVINmkwjPlnnGeViXXntMIFYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Here are the formal actions recorded in the Village Board meeting on Feb. 24, 2025, as reflected in the meeting transcript.

Gina Vascovi, chair of the committee, introduced Patrick Capriati, a senior trade-promotion officer with the Italian Trade Commission, who described Mola di Bari’s size and historical features and said cultural, education and arts exchanges would be priorities. \"The population of Mola Di Bari is around 25,000, which is the size of the population of Roselle,\" Capriati said, and he noted the town’s medieval cathedral, castle and an opera house.

Capriati said the committee hopes to plan a trip to Mola di Bari in September to coincide with the town’s religious celebration of the Madonna; he asked the board for permission to continue pursuing a formal sister-city relationship. There was no objection from the board and staff encouraged the committee to identify ways the village could partner with the volunteers.

Why it matters: sister-city relationships are volunteer-led cultural exchanges that can support education, arts and tourism ties; the committee asked only for board support to proceed to next steps and did not seek any binding agreement at this meeting.","The Roselle Sister Cities Italian Committee presented Mola di Bari, Italy, to the Village Board as a potential sister-city partner and asked for board support to continue negotiations; volunteers plan a September visit timed to a local religious celebration in Mola di Bari.","actionData","errors"]
