The board adopted Ordinance O-34-25 to annex a single lot at 14633 Main Street into the Village of Lemont. The ordinance was moved by Trustee Stapleton and seconded by Trustee Justin McLafferty; the clerk recorded a roll call with the motion approved (Shaughnessy listed as absent in the roll call). The transcript characterizes the annexation as \"a simple ordinance\" and notes the lot sits across the street from Franciscan Village.

The board also approved Ordinance O-35-25 granting variations from the Lemont Unified Development Ordinance for property at 210 Cass Street. The variations allow a detached garage to remain and permit a side-loaded garage for a new home there. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the project; the item was moved and approved by roll call.

On a separate motion, the board awarded a contract for parking garage improvements to Bergland Construction, the low bidder, at $115,000. Ralph, a staff member who presented the bids, told the board the work would include \"concrete sealer, epoxy crack injection, some storm drain repair, some joint sealer, all work that needs to be done to the garage to keep it functional for us.\" The resolution (R-45-25) was moved by Trustee Snagowski and seconded by Trustee Kittridge and approved by roll call (the clerk recorded yes votes; a member was listed as absent earlier in the meeting).

Separately, the consent agenda — as amended to remove Ordinance O-31-25 for separate consideration — included approval of minutes from June 9, disbursements for June 10 to June 23, Ordinance O-30-25 (amending operators of amusements/special events), Ordinance O-32-25 and O-33-25 (fiscal year operating budget amendments), Resolution R-42-25 (authorizing order and purchase of police vehicles), Resolution R-43-25 (graphics removal and emergency equipment installation for police vehicles), and Resolution R-44-25 (loan from the general fund to the I&M TIF fund). The consent agenda passed on roll call after O-31-25 was removed for separate handling.

The board's discussion and votes were conducted in open session; the transcript contains roll-call confirmations and recorded approvals for the actions above. The transcript does not list effective dates for the ordinances or provide detailed budget line-item breakdowns for the budget amendments.

The ordinance was pulled from the consent agenda after Village Attorney Mike Stump raised a procedural concern about newly elected Trustee Forsley, who holds a liquor license. Stump told the board that, under state law, a trustee may hold a liquor license but, \"out of an abundance of caution\" the trustee should not be called on liquor-related votes. \"Trustee Forsley should be not called on and act like he's not part of the vote. He can't abstain, so the vote will only be, the trustees absent, Mister, Trustee Forsley,\" Stump said during the meeting.

After the ordinance was removed, the board voted to take it off the consent agenda (roll call: Trustee Justin McLafferty, Trustee Snagowski, Trustee Stapleton and Trustee Kittridge voted yes). The board then moved to bring Ordinance O-31-25 back for a separate vote with the understanding that Trustee Forsley would not be called on the matter. The motion to reinstate and adopt O-31-25 then passed on roll call (McLafferty yes; Snagowski yes; Stapleton yes; Kittridge yes). The transcript does not specify an opposing vote or abstentions for the final adoption; the clerk announced the motion approved.

The transcript does not state the ordinance's effective date or the exact new total number of Class A-3 licenses following the amendment.

The discussion about the procedural handling of a trustee with a liquor interest occurred during consideration of the consent agenda and before the formal roll call adopting the ordinance. The board recorded the procedural adjustment on the public record but did not provide additional written guidance at the meeting about how future liquor-related votes will be handled beyond not calling Trustee Forsley for those items.

Ordinance: O-31-25 (amending Lemont Municipal Code chapter 5.04, section 5.04.060(b), alcoholic beverages; increasing number of Class A-3 liquor licenses). Motion and roll-call details are recorded in the meeting minutes; the transcript indicates the ordinance was approved after the board reintroduced it and held a separate roll-call vote.

The board handled the item in open session and did not move the item to executive session. No further conditions or amendments to the ordinance were recorded in the transcript.","The Village of Lemont board removed and later reinstated Ordinance O-31-25 increasing the number of Class A-3 liquor licenses. Village Attorney Mike Stump advised that Trustee Forsley, who holds a liquor license, should not be called on votes related to liquor items; the board approved the ordinance after that procedure was established.","actionData","errors"]
