\"Integrated pest management or IPM is a program which manages insects, disease, and weeds through environmentally sound and economically sensitive practices,\" Fennell said. He said the village uses best management practices first and relies on pesticides only as a last resort.

Fennell said public-services staff maintain more than 114 acres of turf in village parks and about 23 additional acres in other green spaces. In 2024 the village applied more than 3,500 pounds of bluegrass and perennial ryegrass seed, aerated over 16 acres, repaired irrigation infrastructure (including replacing 7 broken heads and adjusting 11 additional heads), and oversaw restorations of rain gardens and prairies.

The village performed prescribed burns at the Charleston Road Aquatic Garden (~1.5 acres) and at the Hinsdale Prairie (~3 acres) and reported positive native-plant responses. Fennell said the village has roughly 14,826 trees on public property; in 2024 staff treated hundreds of American elm trees for Dutch elm disease and ash trees for emerald ash borer, removed 212 public trees and planted 249.

Fennell recommended continuing scheduled aeration and overseeding at parks (Burlington, Burns, Robbins and Beck), further prairie and tree preservation work, targeted rain-garden restorations (seven rain gardens were rebuilt last year of 78 total), and continued coordination with Clark Mosquito Control and the Des Plaines Mosquito Abatement District for mosquito abatement.

Trustees thanked parks staff for the work and noted residents and businesses have given positive feedback on planting beds and planters in the village center.","Public-works and parks staff summarized the village's Integrated Pest Management (IPM) activities, including turf seeding and aeration, prescribed prairie burns, tree treatments, rain-garden restorations, mosquito-abatement coordination, and plans for 2025.",{"_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},6295951,"Trustees consider 4-way stop at Adams and Walnut near Monroe School to improve student safety",196,891000,1087000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2518941-72d4a3d9bc8676f394d55c5ad369b462&start=891&end=1087","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2518941-72d4a3d9bc8676f394d55c5ad369b462/thumbnail_891000.jpg","/articles/6295951/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Trustees-consider-4-way-stop-at-Adams-and-Walnut-near-Monroe-School-to-improve-student-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6295951-4f74b5464fa71f8a4c38a605886d2229/orig.mp4?Expires=1775771537&Signature=BLzyM7scaLyFUERhHWC4WjsornL2pZ4QUjwbYkOSxV-~dwbrz6JbgMqZNP5TgDMZ-6yZR12s0BAZpuYIVMz1zG3ZbeBzuXTDbnydgcKadPMIzUCAOAj-ZYBZV3GP4jC9Cl8ZVCRtNMl~159-dr5UQCtMp~4GZzvR7EQyMTvOc007JeFZu1EKiBOiTF-ngyOzU4~CwZ2mBnlDeLf6QHTHN2WIP1MwPIwggPOS4HzKqjsy2jwXCb1TUwF~sen6YXHq~sAHGhGbKtx9ZK4bpBz-uDSVNegexI3sVcUBEp~6wkhMQ-ase7trTypuMwo12-EhCAH~jOqeSqH~eD2~SvbXcA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees held a first reading on an ordinance to amend traffic-control sections to add a 4-way stop at Adams and Walnut, an intersection near Monroe School that lacks sidewalks west of Adams and carries high pedestrian traffic during arrival and dismissal.

\"The intersection is letting in and out,\" Deputy Chief Lilly said after the department evaluated pedestrian patterns during school arrival and dismissal. Lilly noted Monroe plans to move to full-day kindergarten in 2026, which is expected to increase pedestrian activity.

Trustee Stifler and school staff emphasized the lack of sidewalks and crossing guards at that location. \"This is a very unique spot especially during school hours,\" a school representative said, noting the intersection acts as a feeder route for kindergarten through second grade.

Engineering staff told trustees the location does not meet Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards for a four-way stop but recommended overriding MUTCD criteria because of the sidewalk gaps and proximity to the school. Letters were sent to nearby residents; staff said they had not received objections to date.

The proposal was discussed as a first read and was routed to the consent agenda for later consideration.","Police and engineering staff recommended adding a 4-way stop at Adams and Walnut because of pedestrian volumes and missing sidewalks near Monroe School; the item is a first read and does not meet MUTCD standards but staff recommended an engineering override.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6295956,"Hinsdale approves water-main interconnect with Burr Ridge for backup supply",240,625000,865000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2518941-72d4a3d9bc8676f394d55c5ad369b462&start=625&end=865","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2518941-72d4a3d9bc8676f394d55c5ad369b462/thumbnail_625000.jpg","/articles/6295956/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-approves-water-main-interconnect-with-Burr-Ridge-for-backup-supply","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6295956-9b3d24076c6911230c2348e00434a626/orig.mp4?Expires=1775771537&Signature=BzD-kBb4MNnQxPpKET~ICSfB3GKP-wJxYz0gMTtuBC2zE8lzhKOqSrQXEywXO8XjGNe8PevS3kHFUswUEUZQynPXLd0MUPon2VTdomDsJZUb1xik6VSdDHSUK3p9k0WvTwcjrVPGMHmb~0bVX3ta0UJpy2sP5dwWNjXXzhh8uvlHPkFYtR0MlUG0zfJzvdjJKGZi9G5-jB2lnM-hHo-QlrOiEOK7i3W5pC6Rx5KetaP6gWoX82FJYYZDECXwzOdYk3~WkV8EV8iYga3kRtf0ZznfVXFtUxMln4p9l7OF5POZe5t7HnbWdCs-n24QayCDA~qDHqnvAuZs3xxA686NAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustees approved awarding a construction contract and related engineering services to build a water-main interconnect with the Village of Burr Ridge that officials said will provide a full-time backup supply in the event Hinsdale's primary source is disrupted.

\"We're looking to award a bid to H Linden and Sons for the construction of a water main interconnect with the Village of Burr Ridge in the amount of $406,000,\" a trustee said during discussion. The board was told the village budgeted $500,000 for the work and that Hinsdale will be the lead contractor and then bill Burr Ridge for its share.

Officials said Hinsdale's share of the construction cost will be 66% and Burr Ridge's share will be 33%. Trustees also approved a construction-observation engineering contract with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly not to exceed $49,000; the engineering cost will likewise be split between the two villages.

Trustees noted the interconnect provides an alternate source to Hinsdale's current supply and said the project was negotiated with Burr Ridge so both communities share costs. Village staff described the interconnect as important because a recent short interruption in DuPage-supplied water highlighted the value of a redundant source.

The construction and engineering contracts were placed on the consent agenda and approved by the board.","Trustees approved awarding construction and engineering contracts to create a full-time interconnect with Burr Ridge, giving Hinsdale a second supply source; the village will pay two-thirds of construction costs and Burr Ridge one-third.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6295961,"Hinsdale holds public hearing on 2025 appropriation ordinance; no public comment",115,0,115000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2518941-72d4a3d9bc8676f394d55c5ad369b462&start=0&end=115","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2518941-72d4a3d9bc8676f394d55c5ad369b462/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6295961/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-holds-public-hearing-on-2025-appropriation-ordinance-no-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6295961-189d4ee59f7b7c840b121ed1cc445dbf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775771537&Signature=B-rdKDv~ZcxxX7JN1SO~E0-ZllDi9I-HBR5e1K4GSiEERwg1Q8RyEMwpYajduVRfQPoWxHLqFASxsesovs1rXrctmeGIrCYXC9Fmxt7TwzBfsVQsnnkocfSmzzO6NEbnJnILXEiAwTjEsuJJXX7pD0iB-CcuacZrBhaVWROQP7tAeS-iIdIwQN0AjNcqmOE2qyOhmj5wqOHu7Zu7lcNnk52xr-vyVRs4S6QVJ7DWWdFd0qb09p5wrHurCSFzLVCAy~JO9D76pT0afKlT5jck-~ZiRxYDuuCIu~UJ7YQJ7jajTOeWcVpdjMdc4X25~bwvK4qfhZhhg6g6R1nKjNOmhg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village President Colley opened a public hearing to receive comment on the Village of Hinsdale's proposed 2025 appropriation ordinance and explained the ordinance provides the village's legal spending authority for calendar year 2025.

\"The proposed ordinance reflects the amount adopted in December in the calendar year 2025 budget plus 25% for each line item, to account for historic fluctuations,\" Colley said. He added that department contingency amounts are set at 5% for the general fund and 10% for other funds.

The ordinance presented to trustees sets a total appropriation — covering the village and the library — of $88,001,635. Colley said the additional percentages are intended to give the village legal authority to respond to unforeseen events such as severe weather or fire, and that the library appropriations were set by the library board in line with state statute requirements.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing. A motion to adjourn the public hearing was made and seconded, and trustees voted to close the hearing.

The hearing was a first step toward the ordinance's formal adoption; trustees noted Illinois law requires a legal spending limit be adopted by the end of the month. The ordinance will return for a required second reading before final adoption.","Trustees opened and adjourned a public hearing on the village's 2025 appropriation ordinance that sets a $88,001,635 legal spending limit, including a 25% line-item cushion and department contingencies; no members of the public spoke.","actionData","errors"]
