\"That shutdown has been scheduled tentatively for the first week in June,\" the public works director said, explaining the work itself will take about a day to a day and a half but the concrete pour and cure time will extend the full closure to roughly a week. He said the schedule is tentative and depends on contractor availability and project conditions and that the Illinois Department of Transportation directed the closure.

Village Engineer Kyle Gettleman said contractors told staff they will have Dundee Road access to the nearby 7‑Eleven open during the intersection closure. \"They did say that they will have the, Dundee Road access to to 7‑11 open,\" Gettleman said in response to a trustee question about access.

Staff said Dundee Road will remain open east‑west but northbound Elmhurst traffic will not be able to cross the intersection during the closure; the village will provide updates through project reports and direct communications if the schedule changes.

The village did not set a final date for the closure and said it will notify the public as plans firm up.","Staff said a directional-bore failure prompted a tentative closure of the Route 83/Elmhurst and Dundee intersection the first week of June; work should take about a week and Dundee access to the 7‑Eleven will remain available, the village engineer said.",{"_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},6234864,"Wheeling staff asks board to keep pavement condition target at 76 after software-driven analysis",380,2896000,3276000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409516-dfcee9f8d082953e3a81f12b92d38045&start=2896&end=3276","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409516-dfcee9f8d082953e3a81f12b92d38045/thumbnail_2896000.jpg","/articles/6234864/Wheeling/Cook-County/Illinois/Wheeling-staff-asks-board-to-keep-pavement-condition-target-at-76-after-software-driven-analysis","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234864-1129ecf5e55674e6ddd9408065c3c100/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131463&Signature=oT~ghyqua7OimFwG~z3WXBAjtAqBY50R~-F2Utw4Xi5vGa9ZQIwzGKG7ir66HJ466DMBXGeebhXDTveSPY43Xl8rzup6gAky5UbpqzumSJtIlSYcEOfxiAybRuAED5pRgqm9sI9Qiv0AJPaipVtCgHeBvAESnB93618FepVUWCA6rqu2agaT0A4Ui8jpdp5nHlwkxGmnhF1RI0sp7KUBfiqqHrMld65vGpC2U0ny7Zkyzw6nso1mLkWKzeCTHig4hk~JpqmMP-eUIjY2MMoMPo0h-9Hylw2ZAEtYriah50~Josun3U9tH-hCk5ZUzVZxoukuZrJkUfJoZTuY5rChtw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village of Wheeling public works staff presented a data-driven pavement preservation plan May 19 and asked the board to confirm the village's target for the pavement condition index (PCI). Staff recommended keeping the village's overall condition at roughly 76 out of 100 and the board indicated consensus to maintain the status quo.

\"That's a very solid average score,\" Kyle Gettleman, the village engineer, said of the current overall condition after summarizing how the Cartograph asset-management software models pavement degradation and the effects of different funding levels.

Staff explained the methodology: the village catalogs each street's PCI on a 0–100 scale (assessments are performed every three years by a third-party consultant), models a degradation curve that estimates condition between assessments, and uses a Scenario Builder to estimate how different budgets change the network condition over five years. Treatment methods and approximate unit costs presented included reclamite (about $60,000 per roadway mile), crack sealing (about $15,000 per mile), asphalt resurfacing (about $600,000 per mile) and reconstruction (roughly $2,000,000 per mile). Staff reported the village's current network OCI/PCI is 76.

Model scenarios showed maintaining an OCI of about 76 would cost roughly $10.7 million over five years (including projected inflation), raising the OCI to 78 would cost about $12 million over five years, and achieving an OCI near 90 would require roughly $73 million over five years. Staff said the village typically applies about $1.7 million per year from Motor Fuel Tax funding to resurfacing projects, supplemented by other funds when water or storm projects require resurfacing.

Manager Fondilis stressed the village is in a \"sweet spot\" where past maintenance and available funding support the current target; he asked the board to confirm whether they wanted to keep the present level of service or change it. Several trustees said they preferred to keep the status quo and asked staff to return with updated results as the village collects more assessment data.

Staff said the next full pavement assessment cycle is planned for 2027 and that Scenario Builder will be used to refine multi-year budgeting and project selection going forward.","Village staff demonstrated an asset-management approach using Cartograph and recommended maintaining the village's overall pavement condition index at about 76; trustees gave consensus to keep the current level of service.",{"_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},6234869,"Three Wheeling licensees plead liable after compliance checks; commission assesses fines and a one-day suspension",33,654000,687000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409516-dfcee9f8d082953e3a81f12b92d38045&start=654&end=687","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409516-dfcee9f8d082953e3a81f12b92d38045/thumbnail_654000.jpg","/articles/6234869/Wheeling/Cook-County/Illinois/Three-Wheeling-licensees-plead-liable-after-compliance-checks-commission-assesses-fines-and-a-one-day-suspension","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234869-665c99e163a9d44209e70f3994d2f8a2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131463&Signature=KB4KORRa2SN0HjdXLbPqiushqWtFkbFkL87unYYn22Yc~mrs2Ss3A2DtBJMdVIJhCeSpFjMiW5-ROmDTofehyC1FCc3obDNxtOM9MpEgYR3XFzmt36ZkGHe0w0JmEjVrAwfLfIfu3fCz6xGM5dU87cdRDvWOcY8JFPE12hnlNGyp1SMFiZRaTlJgqB3Py7e0aZOXjlUlhiCT89w8q-ESHwmgekdaUI0HlnGmPkysJZlF44pCANft2JW2YWj0feoIvTQgzUG~PipfhwyGKgCcaYwhILnF6Laiox2FND0kTVt53lUSlsK~h7pvCu3FOEfL~zqqpJfP18X~IGoGAIa5vQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wheeling Liquor Commission held three hearings May 19 related to the police department's annual compliance checks and imposed fines after licensees pleaded liable for selling alcohol to underage individuals.

At the first hearing, a representative for Keining Corporation doing business as Chicago Ramen Wheeling, store manager Terumi Tokita, testified and pleaded \"liable\" after the March 26 incident in which an employee served alcohol to a minor. Tokita said the employee \"knew she had to ask for ID\" but did not calculate the age and the sale occurred. Commissioners recessed for deliberation and later approved a fine of $500 plus administrative court costs equal to one-third of the court costs incurred that evening; payment was set due no later than May 26. The commission said an order with the information will be served on the business.

At the second hearing, Tej Patel, an owner of RMPT Beverages LLC doing business as S W EJ Wine and Liquor (208 McHenry Road), pleaded liable on behalf of the licensee. Patel told the commission the employee who sold alcohol afterward completed a server training course again and the business hired a manager to provide on-site supervision. The commission moved to assess a $1,500 fine, a one-day suspension to be served June 9 during business hours, and administrative court costs equal to one-third of that evening's costs, payable by May 26.

At the third hearing, Agnes Colon, front-end manager for Christina's Deli Inc. doing business as KD Market (835 West Dundee Road), pleaded liable after an employee sold liquor to an underage individual. Colon said the store's ID-check system would flag the correct date but the employee entered an incorrect date; Colon said she spoke with the employee and the employee \"took the full responsibilities.\" The commission assessed a $500 fine and administrative court costs equal to one-third of the evening's costs, payable by May 26.

Commissioner Krueger asked each licensee whether the servers had completed server training; in one case the server was not trained, in others retraining or certificate evidence was supplied. The commission indicated orders detailing the penalties would be issued to each business.","Following annual police compliance checks, three licensees pleaded liable for selling alcohol to underage persons and the Liquor Commission imposed fines and, for one licensee, a one-day suspension.",{"_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},6234874,"Liquor commission approves Lenny's Wheeling Liquors application with four conditions",80,73000,153000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409516-dfcee9f8d082953e3a81f12b92d38045&start=73&end=153","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409516-dfcee9f8d082953e3a81f12b92d38045/thumbnail_73000.jpg","/articles/6234874/Wheeling/Cook-County/Illinois/Liquor-commission-approves-Lennys-Wheeling-Liquors-application-with-four-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234874-38da34f721a7aae527614b4a67d86a4b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131463&Signature=Nr9hFeJotSGprSGIoXpfAHGulMLOGHjkHvs3uiLBIJk2EASSktdpaUd-0uGoaz-wjEJD~irxaHkJnXW08GBs~-FvGhv2wIeH~xI0KiIox6w14PApKT4-HV9JyV5Ssx2eInth7cbHtL9ZrxLUOSpSCUyFBVCcqlZoqnaq~7AZ2sO74RBfRdkRP9igxKeNOg8qsG7gih1hWQ4ltVQE7YhDYtPpfa2IE4d7FhewJB84u~oPK~4aKPYSa168nPufQj9uc~GEbf~YUcMoCiZErNkOiMJ0RMluQvVn4e2TYDfHqsswUZtdsBhmMNcXW41Mpy7pRheK79SI~eUFH~jfW7QRrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Wheeling Liquor Commission on May 19 approved a request from Lenny's Wheeling Liquors LLC to operate a package liquor store at 1920 East Hintz Road, contingent on four conditions the commission required.

The approval was adopted after staff described the proposed store as a separate, fully segregated retail space tied to the Gas and Wash development. \"They are fully segregated, from any of the other businesses inside of the, gas and wash, compound as it were,\" Mr. Svan Delis said when describing the site layout and access.

The commission tied approval to four conditions: passage of an ordinance by the board of trustees creating a new Class D liquor license, payment of all associated fees, satisfactory background check results, and submission of applicable BASIT certificates. Those conditions were stated by village staff during the agenda presentation and were incorporated into the motion the commission voted on.

Commissioners voted to approve the application by roll call: Commissioner Vito, Commissioner Lang, Commissioner Krueger, Commissioner Raffato, Commissioner Vogel and Chairperson Horker answered \"yes.\" Commissioner Papantos was absent with prior notice.

The vote clears the Liquor Commission's step in the licensing process; the approval is conditional on the board of trustees passing the separate ordinance to create the new license classification and the applicant meeting the listed requirements. The commission did not set an effective date; staff said completion of the listed items is required before the license can be issued.","The Liquor Commission approved a request for a package liquor store at 1920 East Hintz Road, contingent on an ordinance to create a new license class, fees, background checks and certifications.","actionData","errors"]
