Administrator George presented the resolution and told the board the requested rezoning would allow up to about 600 outdoor storage stalls for vehicles and equipment. He said the request already had been recommended for approval by the county’s land use and planning and zoning committees and is scheduled for the full county board on July 17. \"This is a formal resolution that will trigger a three‑fourths majority vote from the county board,\" George said.

Trustees raised concerns that the I‑3 zoning is the county’s most intense classification and could permit truck parking, tankers and other heavy uses that may not be compatible with existing conditions near bridges and pipes along the route. One trustee noted Romeoville had already passed its objection.

Board members voted to approve the resolution on a motion by Trustee McClafferty, seconded by Trustee Stapleton; the roll call vote was unanimously in favor of sending the village’s formal objection to the county board.

The resolution text and staff letter outlining Lemont’s objections will be transmitted to Will County ahead of the July 17 hearing, according to the village’s presentation. The resolution does not itself change zoning; it registers the village’s formal opposition for the county decision-making process.","The Lemont Village Board approved Resolution R‑51‑25 formally objecting to Will County zoning case ZC‑25‑052, which proposes rezoning 13141 South High Road from A‑1 to I‑3 for large outdoor vehicle/equipment storage; the resolution will be sent to the county board before its July 17 hearing.",{"_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},6550627,"Lemont OKs $68,000 siphon cleaning under I&M Canal to meet NPDES permit",64,517000,581000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5385731-ef1501fe2e3eb4373b1c37edc7b2db97&start=517&end=581","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5385731-ef1501fe2e3eb4373b1c37edc7b2db97/thumbnail_517000.jpg","/articles/6550627/Lemont/Cook-County/Illinois/Lemont-OKs-68000-siphon-cleaning-under-IM-Canal-to-meet-NPDES-permit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550627-ae62f97267ab41583721d56b18bd5cc2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173078&Signature=MmEMkb5Wx~v-vge~8hUAbwUZD9yXqT4p0Rf~Qw4ItBTUa05SKKc4JDPZ6x5tnFOYq5qFTDoxutrzTvnkFaqchIe7hbN8cFjj5KOXKd6yOhkjJAFEHqduw4iKywI3DajMxtoVHgi-tNdwPU-HD7ng7ZmDGF9op-naZcfiWbFvBOS09Kh4RJFVoUsPQGzyVEkulshMygMXjSXlcjkHV6iBLGTnwdCU5F2l2rPWmZaMMC~FJhb05hiNsQhEC7B3fxR1Z2kclojZ802T6OWQxZKBRuQUF9PMIb2ucfoTTf8sHG9kbAXPueSrcQN8y2OCQm5cJfZ9352NnrBRWWBvW7POkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lemont Village Board approved Resolution R‑50‑25 to authorize cleaning and televising of a 12‑inch siphon sewer that runs beneath the Illinois & Michigan (I&M) Canal.

Clerk Charlene introduced the resolution and Public Works staff member Ralph said the work is required to satisfy the village’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Ralph said the siphon had last been cleaned and inspected 18 years earlier and that the low bidder was Underground Pipe Solutions at $68,000.

During discussion a trustee asked whether the bid included an extra charge for tonnage; Ralph replied there would not be additional charges in the event the siphon was found relatively clean. The board approved the resolution on a motion by Trustee Snigalski, seconded by Trustee Forsley, by roll call vote.

Ralph noted, without providing further technical details at the meeting, that the siphon runs at the location across from an older structure on the canal and serves the village’s sewer conveyance under the waterway.","The Village approved Resolution R‑50‑25 to hire Underground Pipe Solutions for $68,000 to clean and televise a 12‑inch siphon sewer under the I&M Canal; the work is required to satisfy the village’s NPDES permit and had not been inspected in 18 years.",{"_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},6550632,"Lemont approves $516,916 contract for 1,000‑ton salt dome",73,445000,518000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5385731-ef1501fe2e3eb4373b1c37edc7b2db97&start=445&end=518","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5385731-ef1501fe2e3eb4373b1c37edc7b2db97/thumbnail_445000.jpg","/articles/6550632/Lemont/Cook-County/Illinois/Lemont-approves-516916-contract-for-1000ton-salt-dome","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550632-44f281709c3671425a9ada205bceac9b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173078&Signature=BOws7FIc1GKjLF33zckCeOAF0bKksZtrUcF5vK7Rs0k85DVgw1ZtgQTjVDLM1HqJgxRcXloKOsrr8~x6Z8qguKwJemN2Ip-nXtOJh8IuMX-seFoOUVsSiMr7K0KB4LU5zisOWO3NJ-aPZz1fZfsmNB-qHWdJNbscoexMb7OYIKFwJLv43VHYzGHy0d-SRO-NEAN8Ark4w9H31jG~Z056ooogdWYKEIkCUvj7rCyV9SYJadrRBA620n5Qi-UQNVnHoRmvMz3oih25VSH1NiSVB2hdIUp0peRVwCUw1v4ZGdqsGw5we9w-0JMQfdSerV1mMTnzjyLNkv7LWWOV27x7-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lemont Village Board on a unanimous roll call approved Resolution R‑49‑25 to award a contract to EP Doyle & Sons for construction of a 1,000‑ton salt dome, the village clerk said.

Village Clerk Charlene presented the resolution and Public Works staff member Ralph recommended accepting EP Doyle & Sons’ low bid of $516,916 and installing a sealed concrete floor rather than an asphalt bottom. \"I do not recommend doing that. I think we should go with the concrete, sealed concrete. It's gonna last a lot longer than the blacktop will,\" Ralph said.

Ralph told the board staff reviewed comparable projects and consulted an industry expert, who advised against an asphalt floor. The board then voted on a motion by Trustee Stapleton, seconded by Trustee Kitridge; the motion carried on a roll call vote with the trustees present voting yes.

The contract will add a second of three intended structures on the Archer and Derby property, according to Ralph’s presentation. The resolution as approved does not specify a construction start date or funding breakdown, which staff did not provide during the discussion.

The board moved on to other business after approving the resolution.","The Lemont Village Board approved Resolution R‑49‑25 to award a contract to EP Doyle & Sons for a 1,000‑ton salt dome, opting for a sealed concrete floor over asphalt; the low bid was $516,916.","actionData","errors"]
