Trustee Cozart presented a preliminary plan that would use existing park amenities (parking, a gazebo and restrooms) to limit initial costs. The concept included a fenced, double-gated enclosure with separate small- and large-dog areas, shade structures, water hookups and paid memberships or banner sponsorships to support maintenance. Cozart suggested the project could be largely funded by private sponsorships and modest user fees.

\"Every dog park that I've ever been to has charged a fee,\" Cozart said. He invited residents to join a volunteer committee to develop a cost estimate and sponsorship plan and provided his trustee email for those interested.

Trustee Alfano and Trustee Coomar raised practical concerns. Alfano, who lives near Rotary Park, said the site functions as a retention area and credited past changes for reducing street flooding; she said the park's drainage history makes it a difficult sell for a facility that would benefit from well-drained surfaces. Coomar suggested the village consider partnering with neighboring communities or contracting with nearby Elmhurst if a new park proves costly; Elmhurst has pursued a larger dog-park project with grant funding, Coomar said.

Other trustees expressed support for the idea in principle and encouraged a measured approach. Manager Harling said a small volunteer committee could prepare estimates and identify funding and location alternatives to bring back to the board. No binding action was taken; trustees asked staff and volunteers to study site alternatives, drainage impacts and cost estimates and to return with a proposal.

The draft changes would bar the use of the blind-copy (BCC) email mechanism when communicating among trustees and would restrict the circumstances under which letters are read into the meeting record. Several trustees argued for a full prohibition of BCCs; others and staff cautioned that some staff-distributed agenda materials come from an agenda-management system that may not list recipients in the same way.

Trustee Cozart said the board should adopt a clear ban on BCCs to avoid the appearance of secrecy: \"Let's have an outright prohibition on the whole BCC,\" he said, adding that trustees are trained on the Open Meetings Act and can govern their own communications. Manager Harling and Village Attorney Melissa (last name not specified in the record) said the BCC practice was originally used by staff to reduce the risk of an inadvertent back-and-forth that could constitute a contemporaneous meeting prohibited by the Open Meetings Act; staff said it will remove a sentence that suggested agenda-management software could be treated differently.

Trustees also discussed how and when written comments from residents should be read into the record. Several trustees asked that letters intended to comment on a specific agenda item be read during the public-comment period for that item rather than during trustee reports, so comments reach the board while the relevant item is before trustees. Manager Harling said the board can adopt a rule requiring that written statements be presented at the appropriate public-comment time and that staff will implement the direction.

No final adoption occurred that night; trustees directed staff to revise the draft language to (1) prohibit blind-copying for board communications, removing the clause about agenda-management software, and (2) allow letters to be read into the record at the public-comment period corresponding to the subject of the letter. The manager said staff will return the revised rules to the board for formal approval.

The board unanimously approved an ordinance amending Chapter 3 of the Villa Park Municipal Code to update fees related to video gaming machines and to remove the local \"90-day\" forfeiture rule for unused licenses. Separately, trustees approved an ordinance reducing the number of Class D licenses by one to forfeit the license at 54 S. Villa Ave. but voted down Mortadelli's request to switch from a Class AAA (beer & wine) license to a Class AA license that would allow a full range of alcoholic liquors on-site.

Trustee Cozart, who has advocated eliminating the 90-day rule for several years, said the change allows business owners to pay for a license and prepare to open without an arbitrary deadline. \"I'm glad to see that it has finally made its way to the agenda after lots of advocating,\" Cozart said. Community Development Director McLaughlin clarified the local rule was not required by state law and that the ordinance also removed the provision that automatically forfeits a license if an existing establishment is inoperable for 90 days.

Mortadelli's owner requested the reclassification so the business could sell distilled spirits in addition to beer and wine. The second-reading ordinance on that license change (ordinance 12A on the agenda) produced extended debate about video gaming. Trustee Corkery said he opposed gaming in the village because of addiction and social harms: \"It's an addictive industry, it preys on people with addictions. And I don't want it in this town for that reason.\" Trustee Kumar cited research on how gaming can displace other revenue and argued some market entrants rely on gaming as a primary revenue source. Trustee Cordova and President Cassell voted to approve Mortadelli's license change, but five trustees voted no; the measure failed.

Trustees and staff also said the village will take a comprehensive approach to liquor regulation going forward. Manager Harling said staff plans a chapter-by-chapter overhaul of Chapter 3, using state language where required and consolidating license classes; the draft would return to the board in June or July for direction before any ordinance vote.

Votes and formal actions tied to liquor items included:
- Ordinance amending Chapter 3 (fees, forfeiture): approved (roll-call majority, final adoption recorded as affirmative by all trustees present).
- Ordinance reducing Class D licenses by one (forfeiture of license at 54 S. Villa Ave): approved after waiver of first reading.
- Ordinance to increase Class AA and decrease Class AAA for Mortadelli (second reading): failed, vote recorded 2 yes (Trustee Cordova, President Cassell), 5 no (Trustee Corkery, Trustee Patrick, Trustee Kumar, Trustee Alfano, Trustee Cozart).

The board's discussion made clear the Mortadelli vote was as much about broader concerns over video gaming and community planning as it was about a single restaurant's operating choices. Staff noted Mortadelli would remain able to operate under its current beer-and-wine license if it chose to do so.

Members of the public addressed the board before the vote. Several residents urged the board to support small businesses and to consider grandfathering or other accommodations; others and multiple trustees said they are watching how gaming licenses are being used across the village and asked staff for stronger rules and more oversight.
