Finance Director Alan Altek said the eight‑month audit results reflect the village’s transition from an April 30 fiscal year end to a Dec. 31 year end; the report covers May 2024 through Dec. 31, 2024. Altek said the village prepares an annual comprehensive financial report that exceeds the state’s minimum reporting requirements and that the finance team includes four staff with CPA designations. The village received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) certificate of achievement for its prior report and staff said they will submit the current report for the award the following week.

Bava said Sikich issued an unmodified opinion, the highest level of assurance, and performed additional compliance testing because the village spent $638,000 in state and federal grant dollars during the stub period — a level that triggered grant compliance procedures. Sikich reported no instances of noncompliance or questioned costs from that testing.

Hennerfein said the generator is located behind the building (the primary tenant identified as Dooley) and that the installation requires site and landscape approval because it changes exterior features of a commercial property. He added that the village is rewriting its zoning ordinance to create administrative approval processes that will allow staff to approve routine, small exterior changes without scheduling them for public meetings.

Trustee Perrelli asked whether a business could be denied a generator. A staff member identified as Joe said a generator could be denied for specific reasons, for example if it violated setback rules, was not properly screened, or reduced required parking; he said most modern generators meet the village’s noise performance standards because they are used intermittently and are quieter than older models. A motion to approve the site and landscape plan was moved by Trustee Little, seconded by Trustee Plowman, and approved by roll call with all trustees voting yes.","Trustees approved a site and landscape plan for an emergency generator behind 801 North Cass Avenue and discussed a zoning‑ordinance rewrite that would permit more routine exterior changes to be approved administratively, Director Hennerfein 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},6179327,"Westmont board approves subdivision at 701 Oakmont Lane for future development",162,1718000,1880000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131188-f261ea65439d0c34878fe07735f633c1&start=1718&end=1880","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131188-f261ea65439d0c34878fe07735f633c1/thumbnail_1718000.jpg","/articles/6179327/Westmont/DuPage-County/Illinois/Westmont-board-approves-subdivision-at-701-Oakmont-Lane-for-future-development","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179327-27276043b588a563418e509ffbd472be/orig.mp4?Expires=1776056756&Signature=HDbwHA5Q1HZAwaeua6NIH0ObKDxeklxo8FRmv4GNTa~PqPy7zciMm1o3MJpR~E9rmlSBjK~yIX8MQ19zF0SjclS7ygoGSGjw9En4lVwvd9umCSzSp9ZG7a6ZxZuPoddkUGnvAirwQ5upzCJv1BsmsssJrPhmUgsgWip8qAEBZBOLXUjzTGUFC83U5q-dQEWXaPO9Kv1Vt4k~eeN6i~rqhzKW~GFMELLpHIjOSooeSynfVQuWpjHjkmY2GesCyy9iVnZwhs2nHTGjCGvrsqwOgxC1NGfqjVD0-tmHuN6HKPj~IFU9KYk~u1JGI6dgPc9gfBx5htB3CYY8S3fWB-w7Sg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Westmont Board of Trustees on June 26 approved preliminary and final plats and a site and landscape plan to subdivide the parking area at 701 Oakmont Lane into two lots, enabling Ryan Companies to market the new parcel for sale, Director Hennerfein said.

Hennerfein told the board the property — known locally as Oakmont Point and formerly the Rockwell building site — was originally planned to accommodate a three‑building complex; the current request divides an existing lot to create a new PIN and a finished lot edge with landscape treatments. The petitioners said the split will make the parcel marketable to future buyers.

Petitioner Eric Nordine, president of Ryan Companies’ Great Lakes region, addressed trustees and said the application is “pretty simple” and intended to provide flexibility to sell the parcel. A motion to approve the preliminary and final plats and the site and landscape plan was seconded by Trustee Scales and approved by roll call with all trustees voting yes.

The approval authorizes the village to record the final plat with the county and requires completion of the landscape edge along the new lot line; staff said the site will retain a portion of the existing parking area. No additional conditions or variances were noted in the record.","Trustees approved preliminary and final plats and a site and landscape plan to split the parking lot at 701 Oakmont Lane into two lots, allowing Ryan Companies to market the new parcel for sale, Director Hennerfein said.",{"_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},6179331,"Westmont board waives temporary liquor fee for Vision and Vibe Fest",26,1681000,1707000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131188-f261ea65439d0c34878fe07735f633c1&start=1681&end=1707","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131188-f261ea65439d0c34878fe07735f633c1/thumbnail_1681000.jpg","/articles/6179331/Westmont/DuPage-County/Illinois/Westmont-board-waives-temporary-liquor-fee-for-Vision-and-Vibe-Fest","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179331-26f4284b4230d2c40124f998287f2eb7/orig.mp4?Expires=1776056756&Signature=aZR72QtejIBXMnr8O6jDOUWXKioOV5bGIyfDTOaL32vqiOPWIXNRFmrXaKUGqv43Z4bPO2idlNt72AtEtEmF3dDfXg8RI47~FQB1IRVxBSuxQmwVZg7bVEidGYsm7OQjqLBO5AvcffUuznIepzAzI~hnZ~h-EeOOs7W1J8kzud-G3Dz6702vDhnnAqTkoBc5j8-MlkS0AHAhw0xnqY4B9NIuTIgAYgCQTHee3O3KPztPZjddlvJSgwF5lT4Z6Klg4~fBiEjc4EYFwCHKYyDo60PmqBfitOKhP9Nm39GZJAd0Kcx-Mde2essbq72Lh0-~MMfGpsZmEAyazAhZXb19ag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Westmont Board of Trustees on June 26 approved an ordinance waiving the temporary liquor license fee to allow Tarazi to serve wine at the Vision and Vibe Festival in September during the hours of 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both days, Village Manager Gunther said.

The vote removes the fee barrier for an alcohol vendor at a new two-day arts festival the village and volunteers are organizing at Veterans Memorial Park. Supporters said the waiver helps attract vendors and attendees and aligns with the village’s efforts to promote events that draw visitors and support local businesses.

Manager Gunther told trustees the waiver request covers wine service by Tarazi for both days of the festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Trustee Johanna Plowman moved to approve the ordinance; Trustee Little seconded. The board approved the measure by roll call, with all trustees voting yes.

Trustee Barker and others earlier described Vision and Vibe as a new arts festival planned for Veterans Memorial Park that will offer exhibition space at no cost to selected artists. Trustee Barker provided a staff contact, Jenny Babiar (staff@jbabiaratwestmont.il.gov), for artists and volunteers. The manager and trustees said additional event details and a public notice will be posted on village websites once finalized.

The waiver applies only to the temporary liquor license fee for the festival and does not change other permit or safety requirements vendors must meet. The village confirmed the event will be coordinated with park district partners and that specific hours and vendor approvals remain subject to standard permitting and operational rules.","The Village of Westmont Board of Trustees on June 26 approved an ordinance waiving the temporary liquor license fee so Tarazi may serve wine at the Vision and Vibe Festival in September, with hours set at 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, Village Manager Gunther said.","actionData","errors"]
