Chief Walsh said the department had two candidates with academy certifications decline job offers, but staff were able to secure an academy spot for another recruit starting May 5, pending a physical and paperwork.

In response to resident complaints about speeding on Black Hawk Drive and other streets, the department placed officers on-site and installed a mobile speed-radar sign that displays vehicle speed. Chief Walsh said the sign currently functions as a deterrent and can collect speed counts once the department obtains the necessary cord and device upgrades; a newer, lighter sign that can be moved more easily is planned for deployment across multiple locations.

\"We did not observe any speeding violations [during targeted enforcement],\" Chief Walsh said, noting one cellphone citation. He said the village will collect half-hour aggregated traffic counts and speeds from the sign for enforcement planning.

The chief also reported that Officer Majewski will attend truck-enforcement training April 21–25 to certify as a truck enforcement officer; the department plans to coordinate with nearby villages that maintain scales to address overweight trucks as Wolf Road construction proceeds.

Chief Walsh said the department is reviewing automated camera vendors, including Flock and Vigilant (a Motorola company), and that staff will meet with regional police to review technology and integration approaches. He urged residents to call the non-emergency line — or 911 if an incident is occurring — to report unsafe activity, including children operating low-height vehicles in the roadway.

The police department will proceed with recruit onboarding and training, deploy mobile speed-monitoring signs to gather data and pursue truck enforcement certification and interagency coordination as Wolf Road activity increases.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village of Indian Head Park Board Meeting 4-10-25","oneSentenceSummary","Chief Walsh reported two recruits graduating from the suburban academy on April 25, plans for a shorter field-training period, truck enforcement officer training in late April, and deployment of mobile speed-radar signs on Black Hawk Drive to collect speed data and deter speeding.","taxTitle","Indian Head Park, Cook County, Illinois","taxId",73902,"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},6077759,"Indian Head Park to outsource vehicle-sticker renewals; mailed notices, online renewals to begin",467,2171000,2638000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2963189-a1d008134556af846d41d062dc2f9cd3&start=2171&end=2638","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2963189-a1d008134556af846d41d062dc2f9cd3/thumbnail_2171000.jpg","/articles/6077759/Indian-Head-Park/Cook-County/Illinois/Indian-Head-Park-to-outsource-vehicle-sticker-renewals-mailed-notices-online-renewals-to-begin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6077759-5e2a0cdae20811ecfb70c5b30c675f8a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775865092&Signature=hHlJKU8fB39dwannWTcFqzJoIAXgJG7E0oT~6luoNEubnsbWYiVGn6AQV0wquCQpE-zywUXaKjUECExe-2I-Qeks-67-WRgRePIfBf4r1-6CT4bdu5W6O7oLefpvouf-vuXQWzGLPyHfNSYcdM3QMr-BL63CiQ0fQmIW6pr2BLs2QWU5RXlp4xbGRVRFE9yxYv4gzAMrl8sSVSvdwy23ZOCamBps0c6uGDfaiue6RoW88eC1dAPMTAW5ap6NmNLaW~AUSriNOuhO-Zuw-OfukHoPI2yRueqiTeCnnz0vRLemUzW3YQVCYUK-ljTYyu9jkDovZopsu8lSLUvCrHuHqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village Administrator Gavin Morgan told trustees on April 10 that Indian Head Park is outsourcing the vehicle-sticker renewal process to Third Millennium, the same vendor used for water billing. Residents whose vehicles are registered to village addresses will receive a renewal application in the mail after April 15, Morgan said.

The mailed notice will include a tear-off form for return by mail; residents may also use a vehicle ID number and license-plate information on the notice to renew and pay online. Third Millennium will mail vehicle stickers after May 1 for those processed through the vendor; in-person sales at Village Hall will also begin May 1.

\"As soon as folks receive this renewal notice in the mail, they may go on and renew online,\" Morgan said, describing the dual mail/online option. Morgan added that the vendor will prefill renewal forms from the village's existing database to simplify future renewals. Village staff are also discussing the possibility of email renewal notices in future cycles but said Third Millennium does not currently send renewal notices by email because of address changes and delivery issues.

Trustees and staff said the goal is to make the process more efficient for residents and village staff. The village will publicize the rollout via website, a Facebook post, signs with QR codes and a banner at the Heritage Center.

The update said both the village and the Burr Ridge board of trustees have submitted letters of support; the supporting letters and study updates are posted at wolfroadstudy.com. Village officials said the RM Chinn study team and Strand Engineering updated the site with those documents on April 10.

\"Alternative 1, Baseline Sidewalk, will be carried forward as the preferred alternative,\" the presenter said, adding the study team will refine the design to determine specific roadway footprint, drainage, structural, environmental and potential property impacts. The next steps include coordination with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, which the presenter said requires additional time for review. The study team anticipates holding a Corridor Advisory Committee meeting No. 3 and Public Meeting No. 3 — the study's final public involvement events — in early 2027.

Staff noted a revised timeline: the goal is to finish the Phase 1 study in summer 2027, later than an earlier estimate of 2026, because of additional review time with IDOT and FHWA. The study team indicated it will formally respond to public meeting 2 comments on April 30 and that a 30% roadway plan and profile, including typical sections, must be submitted to the county by June 15 for review.

The presentation emphasized coordination steps rather than final design decisions: the study team will present refined impacts to the Corridor Advisory Committee and the public when federal and state reviews are further along.

The board, meeting at Village Hall, voted 6-0 to approve the tentative budget after a presentation by Village Administrator Gavin Morgan.

The budget outlines priorities for public safety, infrastructure and community services and anticipates a planned net shortfall tied to one-time capital projects. \"The FY 2026 budget reflects a responsible, balanced financial plan that sustains core services, supports major infrastructure improvements, investments, and aligns with the village's strategic values of transparency, efficiency, and accountability,\" said Gavin Morgan, Village Administrator.

Morgan told the board the general fund includes a planned operating deficit of $313,482 driven by conservative revenue projections and modest inflationary cost increases, but noted the fund is projected to end FY 2026 with a fund balance of $2,140,000, above the village's reserve target of about $900,000. The budget also includes a $1,500,000 transfer from the water and sewer fund to the capital fund to finance the Pontiac/Keokuk water-main and street reconstruction project; that fund is projected to end with a balance of about $3,050,000 after the transfer.

The finance committee reviewed the document and unanimously recommended approval, Morgan said. He also noted a timing-related deficit in current-year revenues (approximately $1,000,006.93 shown in the materials) that staff expects may be reduced after pending state reimbursements and grant closeouts.
