The proposals: Staff presented two approaches. Thunder Hearing & Sound proposed a modeled noise analysis; Huff & Huff proposed on-site monitoring of actual play and then recommendations. Staff said both firms would evaluate whether noise levels posed nuisance issues or a hearing-damage risk, but neither study was expected to perform deep analysis of repetitive concussive impacts beyond standard sound-level assessment.

Trustee reaction and timing: Trustees generally agreed to postpone a contract decision to allow the newly seated park district board to consider mitigation steps and to allow the village board’s new membership time to review proposals. Trustee Olson moved to table and suggested returning in May; Trustee Mullin proposed the second meeting in May specifically. Several trustees said they preferred Huff & Huff’s monitored approach because it captures actual on-site conditions rather than model estimates. Trustee Duffy said the village should not be “dragged into” park-district matters but supported the Huff & Huff monitoring approach if the board proceeds.

Outcome: The board reached consensus to table the selection of a consultant and to revisit the issue at the committee meeting set for the second meeting in May, giving the park district a chance to pursue mitigation discussions with residents. Staff will coordinate with the park district and prepare procurement documents and a scope of services consistent with the board’s direction.

Why it matters: Ongoing disagreement between park users and nearby residents over noise has persisted; the chosen approach will determine whether the village bases mitigation on modeled projections or measured, event-level data. Trustees emphasized timely resolution but also coordination with Park District stakeholders.

Next steps: Staff will coordinate with the park district and return with a recommendation — likely Huff & Huff’s monitoring proposal — and a recommended contract for board consideration in May.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025-04-21 Village of Lisle Board Meeting and Committee of the Whole (LIVE)","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees discussed two consultant proposals for a pickleball-noise study at Abbey Wood Park — a modeled analysis and an on-site monitoring study — and agreed to table selection until the second meeting in May, asking staff to coordinate with the park district.","taxTitle","Lisle, DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",70203,"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},6265454,"Lisle board approves invoices, consent agenda, PUD change and engineering agreement; grants and purchases move forward",880,2406000,3286000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3091117-dc332a140bf257247f44f4de0f234558&start=2406&end=3286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3091117-dc332a140bf257247f44f4de0f234558/thumbnail_2406000.jpg","/articles/6265454/Lisle/DuPage-County/Illinois/Lisle-board-approves-invoices-consent-agenda-PUD-change-and-engineering-agreement-grants-and-purchases-move-forward","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6265454-d135e58cf43d4b5732b5d1399633f0cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158031&Signature=eBxKGTeTZRm6jYaWILuFSPGXp3PWhM8nJVpdTewVvTj7B1aov~UFhFdG1OLVpJt2pbLkRah28ugZDuZl8MUqfa8wNcWB-Gos598DErnYoiWrZX2LqMrcWo-GmuzsXjs~grWfuxDl44qxSR2avJbzra5lGd6Ei6K9t3oCHK2BHhDMVQkhngrckxD3wDa-LwA4LoJaWiv04phH6K6c1-0tzpLyRzBJ8HPMSx0~LsI8N-JFxJX3LmauRXADuR7drgl5cU2djjkVmfIqWRho8h8bh8RTDdavKs1BCAhv~iCrOAt0gRm5T5kRRP2vV0w88hETNNVfJes~EgfnILGeo-c9NQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lisle Village Board on April 21 approved routine minutes and bills, a package of consent items, and several ordinances and resolutions affecting downtown development and infrastructure.

What the board approved
- Minutes: Regular Village Board and Committee of the Whole meeting minutes from April 7, 2025 (motion passed by roll call).
- Invoice list: Approved $372,537.19 in bills (roll-call vote; motion passed).
- Consent agenda: Items A–P were approved as presented with a separate vote on Item K (streetlight repair services). Consent items included: March 2025 treasurer’s report; water and sewer rate adjustments effective May 1 (3% plus DuPage Water Commission pass-through); establishment of TIF interested-party registries for proposed Lincoln Avenue/Route 53 and East Ogden Avenue TIFs and related public hearing scheduling; installation of an electric-vehicle charging station (budgeted at $34,500 with a related $4,400 amendment); renewal of DUI prosecution services; police uniform purchase (up to $31,000); design engineering for downtown streetscape maintenance (Civiltech, up to $267,482); streetlight repair extension (Item K, RAG Electric, up to $55,000); tree trimming extension (up to $46,150); street sweeping extension (up to $85,600); landscape plant-bed maintenance (up to $75,400); janitorial services (up to $63,480); and fleet lift replacement purchase order (amount in packet; village staff to finalize).
- Ordinance — Mollex Incorporated second-amendment PUD: Approved a minor change allowing construction of a combined loading and trash-dock addition and adjacent parking modification at 2222 Wellington Court (roll-call vote; motion passed).
- Resolution — Dedication of easement and plat of easement: Accepted a maintenance and access easement for an off-site stormwater basin that will serve the Nest Exotic Wellness Center expansion; the easement complies with DuPage County countywide stormwater and floodplain ordinance requirements (motion passed).
- Resolution — Business development grant amendment (4700–4704 Main Street): Extended performance deadlines for a previously approved grant. The restaurant’s work deadline was extended to December 2025 and the deli/market retail concept to June 2026 (motion passed).
- Resolution — Preliminary engineering services agreement with BNSF Railway (Lisle Levee Improvement Project): Authorized the village manager to execute an agreement under which BNSF will review levy-design plans; BNSF estimated its review cost at $242,000 with the village’s financial exposure capped at $20,000 absent further board approval; the motion passed on roll call.

How the board voted: Most items passed by roll call with unanimous “aye” votes from the mayor and trustees present. Where individual roll-call tallies were read, the clerk recorded unanimous approval.

Why it matters: The actions advance maintenance and capital work (streetscape, fleet lift, street sweeping and tree maintenance), adjust water and sewer rates planned for May 1, and move forward with infrastructure and development steps — including an engineering review required by BNSF that is a condition of the Lisle Levee Improvement Project.

Next steps: Staff will finalize contracts and purchase orders consistent with the approved not-to-exceed amounts and return necessary contract documents for signature. The BNSF review and associated easement work will continue as part of the levee project’s design and easement acquisition process.

No contested roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript; trustees and the mayor voiced support for the listed items during deliberations.","The Lisle Village Board on April 21 approved minutes, $372,537.19 in invoices, a multi-item consent agenda, a PUD amendment, an easement dedication and several other resolutions including a preliminary engineering review agreement with BNSF.",{"_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},6265458,"Oak View residents accuse Lisle of misusing wheeling fund, press board for deeds and answers",123,1584000,1707000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3091117-dc332a140bf257247f44f4de0f234558&start=1584&end=1707","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3091117-dc332a140bf257247f44f4de0f234558/thumbnail_1584000.jpg","/articles/6265458/Lisle/DuPage-County/Illinois/Oak-View-residents-accuse-Lisle-of-misusing-wheeling-fund-press-board-for-deeds-and-answers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6265458-fa20a5f949edaba76581b6010dc85d7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158031&Signature=FtcbbKLynzo0nsPKOFHvCXNphYT7nDzzY33rJ73Ib4LJ-5A-kox36zzlxpxc4taMi6QrK5bzfNOve5JGeQhaSUrt0SKvdAd5AAYf3IPZn~Wu2oBiLVcrci9Lp-zYLE6C~wIYZrm9bkQBm0jqWIp4hUFE1OA5DrjTw4hSSYXMcm7BpSI9LMV8IJYQiFnSL1aAXKMa6kC-dqip6-R-rlh7hovXhgAkt4Ntqe3KfZJEDdsiIa0UNfzTfSt19suy4nGxN52dS4lDpbzuhN~OsZSEiiu4P~Jpmsne3RryWUWxTQs2g2JdEG~dkXWe7y8cHilDUXIIkmU9PWGef0ziAzUeVg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Blake Veil and Susan Sorell told the Lisle Village Board during public comment on April 21 that the village improperly moved money and has not given Oak View residents clear title or access rights to neighborhood water mains.

Veil opened the complaints by accusing the village of taking money earmarked for Oak View: “You guys didn't take $2,000,000 — you stole $2,000,000 from the Oak View Water Fund,” he said, adding that funds budgeted for water-main upgrades would not be used to update residents’ service.

Sorell expanded the accusation with detailed allegations about easements and permits, saying Illinois American Water crews were allowed to place mains on private property without village easements and that residents signed short-term license agreements rather than deeds. “Why are we not on the agenda again? … Because you don't give 1 hoot about the 400 residents over there,” Sorell said, at times angrily addressing the board and warning that Oak View residents were exploring deannexation and legal remedies.

Why it matters: Residents said the dispute touches billing, insurance and long-term maintenance. Sorell asserted that the village moved a wheeling fund into the general fund in February 2017, a change she said deprived Oak View customers of a dedicated resource. She also alleged that residents pay higher insurance rates tied to fire protection and that deannexation could cost the village sales-tax revenue.

Board response and next steps: Trustees and staff did not dispute that the public raised these claims but told residents that the board will return to the topic with additional analysis and legal review. Trustee Saima summarized the legal posture on a separate point raised by residents about case law: “There is not a United States Supreme Court opinion … the Supreme Court just said no. They declined cert,” he said, noting the difference between a petition for certiorari and an actual Supreme Court decision and that the Illinois Supreme Court precedent remains the controlling state decision.

Trustees and staff also suggested administrative and record searches; Trustee Greco recommended historic annexation and plat records be reviewed to clarify right-of-way and acceptance of improvements, and Trustee Mullin noted DuPage County GIS records may show dedicated right-of-way lines. Village officials said staff would return to the board with a legal opinion and any requested records, and the matter will be put on a future agenda for formal board consideration.

No formal action was taken at the April 21 meeting; the comments were recorded during the general public-comment period and will be used to inform staff and the village attorney’s follow up.","Two Oak View residents used public comment to accuse the village of moving $2 million from an Oak View wheeling fund into the general fund, pressed the board to transfer deeds and raised easement and permit issues for water mains served by Illinois American Water.

Background: The parcel was offered for sale to a developer under a prior contract and the purchaser’s zoning-approval period and related contractual extensions have expired. In March the purchaser submitted a waiver of village zoning approvals and asked to proceed directly to closing.

Board direction: Staff presented two options: (1) prepare a second amendment extending the zoning-approval deadline to a date certain so the purchaser completes entitlements before closing, or (2) accept a purchaser-prepared plat of easement that would perpetually provide a pedestrian path to the cemetery and proceed straight to closing. Trustee Olson said option 2 was her preference and noted the purchaser’s willingness to acquire additional real estate before final zoning approval reduced financing risk. Trustee Mullin and Trustee Lesniak similarly voiced support for option 2. Trustee Greco said he remained concerned about placing residential development adjacent to a cemetery and said the board should weigh long-term implications.

Purchaser readiness: The petitioner’s representative, Mr. Whitaker, told the board the purchaser was prepared to go forward. “Yes, absolutely,” he said when asked if the client was ready to proceed with purchase and closing.

Outcome: The committee of the whole indicated concurrence with option 2: staff will prepare closing documents consistent with the purchaser’s request and bring any necessary plats of easement for board approval that will preserve a pedestrian connection to the cemetery before final recording. No formal vote was taken in the COW; the item will return in the form required for closing and recordation.

Why it matters: The direction moves a downtown redevelopment parcel toward closing while preserving public pedestrian access to the adjacent cemetery, but trustees flagged land-use and long-term maintenance concerns that staff must address in the closing documents.

Next steps: Staff will work with the purchaser to prepare the plat of easement and closing materials and return to the board for final approvals and recordation.","In committee-of-the-whole discussion trustees directed staff to pursue option 2 for the surplus lot at 922 School Street: allow the purchaser to close now while the purchaser prepares required zoning entitlements, conditioned on a perpetual pedestrian easement to preserve a cemetery path.

Program and process: The grant program was adopted December 2, 2024, and launched in late December with a shortened application period that closed in March. The FY 2025–26 program budget is $50,000; staff received applications requesting approximately $102,000 in total funding. Eight organizations attended mandatory workshops; six submitted final applications representing eight events.

Evaluation and award approach: Staff described a six-criteria evaluation matrix that weighted program goals most heavily, followed by event type (new/expanded/existing), ticketing/entry type, and application quality. The evaluation team used the weighted scores to recommend award levels up to the approved $50,000 budget. Staff emphasized an equitable approach and that awards are recommendations; individual grant agreements and any profit-sharing requirements for ticketed events will be handled in contract documents.

Trustee response and board direction: Trustees complimented staff for the rapid timeline and thorough evaluation. Several trustees asked for follow-up process changes to improve applicant guidance and outreach for future rounds and suggested a brief iterative review after the first season to refine the matrix and marketing. Trustee Duffy and others said they were comfortable with staff’s award recommendations and asked staff to proceed with bringing formal grant agreements and resolutions to the board for final authorization.

Why it matters: The program aims to grow local events and tourism, and to support downtown and community organizations. Because requests exceeded available funds, staff applied the scoring matrix to prioritize events consistent with program goals and to recommend award levels that maximize public benefit within the budget.

Next steps: Staff will notify applicants, prepare grant agreements consistent with program rules (including 50/50 profit sharing where required for ticketed events), and return to the village board with resolutions authorizing awards and contracts.","After a short application window staff received eight initial inquiries and eight applications and recommended awards within the $50,000 FY26 budget. Trustees praised the quick rollout and gave staff consensus to bring award agreements back for formal approval.","actionData","errors"]
