Trustees also approved Ordinance 14-23, which amends code sections 12-3-4(a) and 12-7-3(a) concerning water and sewer permit fees; the ordinance passed by unanimous roll call vote.

On broadband infrastructure, the board approved Ordinance 14-24 authorizing and approving a right-of-way agreement with Servair Wireless LLC for broadband equipment at Broadridge Beach (transcript phrasing). Trustees recorded their approval by roll call.

Public safety action: The board approved Ordinance 14-25 authorizing execution of an intergovernmental agreement between the Village of Beecher and the Beecher School District to fund and install a police resource officer.

Trustees awarded a sidewalk and curb replacement proposal to KRT Concrete for $13,500 after the superintendent received one proposal from four invited firms. The board approved a $3,660 contract to Affordable Canaccrete for targeted sidewalk mud jacking in certain areas.

For roadwork, the board approved a $10,320 contract with McGill Paving for asphalt patches and a $62,955.20 contract with Warkus Paving for asphalt replacement in specified blocks. The board also waived formal bidding and approved an additional Elm Street asphalt work package with Warkus Paving for $25,648.64 to use the same unit prices as the earlier low bid and increase work scope while funds are available.

Park and lot surface work approved included: an $8,341 contract with Workers Paving for seal coating and striping of Fireman's Park parking lot (per the intergovernmental agreement with the park district); an $8,582 contract with Workers Paving for seal coating of additional park areas (picnic grove, bingo stand, beer stand, alleyways and walkway) with the Fourth of July Commission reimbursing the village for half of that cost; and a $3,650 contract for seal coating at the public works parking lot on Cardinal Creek Boulevard.

Public works staff also recommended equipment and program assistance purchases. Trustees approved buying a 2025 John Deere zero-turn mower (model referenced in meeting as a 960) from South Shorewood Home and Auto for $14,323.54; two older units will be sold due to mechanical issues, the committee said. The board also approved a $7,200 proposal from engineering firm Baxter & Woodman for assistance with the 2025 NPDES MS4 program; the amount is included in the FY 2025–26 budget.

Superintendents described the bidding process for each item (number of firms invited and bids received) and said contractors would schedule work to minimize disruptions. All public works items were approved on roll call votes.","The village board approved a series of public works procurement items on April 28, including sidewalk and curb replacement, asphalt patches and replacements, mud jacking, additional Elm Street repairs, seal coating for parks and parking lots, purchase of a zero-turn mower, and NPDES MS4 assistance.",{"_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},6256875,"Board approves fencing, electrical change order and short insurance extension for new public safety facility",221,1051000,1272000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3155216-664c624309a99af064f0aa42015a15bd&start=1051&end=1272","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3155216-664c624309a99af064f0aa42015a15bd/thumbnail_1051000.jpg","/articles/6256875/Beecher/Will-County/Illinois/Board-approves-fencing-electrical-change-order-and-short-insurance-extension-for-new-public-safety-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6256875-19c7dfa152d13762b6d41f32bccc012d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150656&Signature=H8OSAV2YqU5mac1mb1yG48GlotY7-069yap7PqXTgBSSWEOxBDuSh1Ybx-NFbTUkWDtM7JoBHuHOd~Vw8ekXg3Wy1Iti9oumiBYB5kbJkCbU~EB1UcRpz4cxYXT6D-Qql9AtnnH6SXdm4VL3dtW5KvJEzBUKoHH1K948St~tM0SLThxfciNwxP1~-2NQH08M5-qFd90d3BExagH3rXKWXd5qjNgJOII2OKXv0vUs~S5-KnH~csG6EKgSMg8CYrMkcm5VXChy~YJI3Yc9TvwrrE~Yy5tlGU1aJvCcvJK4kt6tZczGh3jFJ~nHxqCxH0rhjaGglgKUrecsEj8MfNlYdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Beecher board approved contracts and a short insurance extension tied to the new public safety facility during the April 28 meeting.

The board voted to accept Bid Package 18 from Plastic Fence Incorporated to install fencing at the new public safety facility for $67,540. The vote was recorded by roll call and approved.

Trustees also approved a change order to Bid Package 16 (electrical) with Indecom Electric not to exceed $12,400 to install low-voltage conduit needed for gate and fence operators. The public buildings committee described the change order as necessary to accommodate gate operators and the fencing plan.

Finally, the board approved a one-month extension of the builder's-risk insurance policy for the new facility in an amount not to exceed $1,500. Committee members noted the current policy expired May 1, 2025, and that the expected move-in date had shifted to late May 2025, requiring the short extension to maintain coverage until occupancy.

Trustee Pyotchenko (Public Buildings and Properties/Parks & Recreation Committee) said the policy extension was within the chair's authority but sought board awareness before finalizing the payment. All three measures passed on roll call votes.

The approvals allow contractors to complete fence and gate work and keep construction insurance active while final move-in logistics are completed.","Trustees approved a $67,540 fencing contract, a not-to-exceed $12,400 electrical change order for low-voltage conduit, and a one-month builder's-risk policy extension capped at $1,500 for the village\u0000public safety facility move-in schedule.",{"_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},6256880,"Beecher board adopts $2025–26 budget, holds levy steady at 0%",606,509000,1115000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3155216-664c624309a99af064f0aa42015a15bd&start=509&end=1115","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3155216-664c624309a99af064f0aa42015a15bd/thumbnail_509000.jpg","/articles/6256880/Beecher/Will-County/Illinois/Beecher-board-adopts-202526-budget-holds-levy-steady-at-0","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6256880-f58f7cd596a4894b861973e815a48b19/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150656&Signature=oELkSfHTrLyJNgS2QnDU7Nwhop6enzyebbvwyUp7eVbvJoB7bapRul1HlTbnezr3hs1AckuBoHGNbl-L3Is6n1hmzLzK0hH7D1lZtRYZYRS~s5wTNSDtSUmQMAJMKD8fkV3HKwCwRni-O83J4MutwVCF7R66elnzA9-W7dz8HJOioZ9ernI6exB1r-QdWhBIrfzL8RHlp9Edx2pUK4A1cNoWo1Xt9AEr6yGcgQXcXvXsSgf5VV~ngZhHtqvgtZN3hy7zWgxId3s2al3migSBGDzM4zaT0cAkq5~-391RgZy~C8ytVCbYcPXrAGDBuEWpihD4A-yy5cFw1o9LlXuCWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Beecher board adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 budget and accompanying appropriation ordinance after opening and closing a public hearing during its April 28 meeting.

Trustees approved Resolution 2025-03 adopting the budget and Ordinance 14-21 appropriating funds for fiscal 2025–26 by roll call vote; the board recorded unanimous support.

The finance committee highlighted a number of adjustments in the final budget. Trustee Krauss, chair of the Finance and Administration Committee, said the village increased its estimate of monthly casino-related revenue by roughly $9,000 compared with the prior projection and that the village maintained a 0% property tax levy adopted in December.

Krauss also detailed operating cost pressures: health insurance premiums were increased in the draft—\"PPO insurance increased 8.5 percent; HMO by 6.2 percent,\" he said—and the village’s Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund contribution rate was adjusted slightly from 3.31 to 3.44. He noted collective‑bargaining negotiations with public works and clerical unions are still underway and that final salary numbers will be updated after contracts are settled.

The budget includes a $500,000 grant the village expects to spend under an external deadline. Staff described plans to advertise that project for bids in January–February 2026 and to schedule construction in summer 2026 in coordination with the school calendar.

Trustees also reinstated a $4,000 contribution for the Youth Commission after review of the commission’s reserves and recent donations. Trustee Krauss said the commission held about $9,900 on hand after prior years’ expenditures and outside donations, and that the village and commission will discuss future fundraising and program planning.

Board members asked about where a detailed line-item budget would be posted; staff said the full line-by-line budget is available online. No changes to the adopted tax levy were made during the meeting.

The board’s actions authorize staff to implement the adopted spending plan, with further adjustments to be made as union contracts are finalized and as grant schedules are confirmed.","The Village of Beecher adopted its fiscal year 2025–26 budget and appropriation ordinance after a public hearing. Key adjustments include higher anticipated casino revenue, reinstated youth commission funding, insurance and pension contribution increases, and a $500,000 grant with a 2026 expenditure timeline.","actionData","errors"]
