Village Manager Matt described the change as an administrative efficiency: the finance department will replace paper invoice stamps with secure electronic stamps and provide trustees with the warrant/check register and PDF attachments through a OneDrive link or emailed files. \"Everything will be made available upon request,\" Matt said, and staff committed to delivering the packet earlier in the week (by Wednesday) to give trustees more time to review.

Trustees discussed options for how much supporting documentation to include automatically. Matt proposed trustees automatically receive attachments for invoices above $5,000 and said all items will be available upon request. Carrie Dittman (CFO) described Munis approvals and an electronic workflow that will record department-level approvals and timestamps.

Trustees said they appreciated the historical practice of paper review and sought consistent ordering between the warrant list and attachments; staff agreed to provide an export that can be alphabetized or sorted to match the register. Trustee Stifler noted she had reviewed invoices above $5,000 for this cycle; the board agreed to continue trustee review in electronic form and to reassess the process after rotating through the bill bag schedule.

The motion to pay the accounts payable list passed by roll call.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees authorized payment of $1,965,673.23 in accounts payable and agreed to shift trustee bill-bag review from paper to electronic files with staff-provided cloud links and earlier delivery for review.","taxTitle","Hinsdale, DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",70303,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6140745,"Hinsdale approves $45,000 DuPage grant to join shared social‑worker program with nearby suburbs",368,4477000,4845000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b&start=4477&end=4845","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b/thumbnail_4477000.jpg","/articles/6140745/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-approves-45000-DuPage-grant-to-join-shared-socialworker-program-with-nearby-suburbs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6140745-be09de6f80ea59888cec58551d51e78b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148982&Signature=EO6VcGW6mCxBtb0kno3o50b6HijixXLgf9PyEYw-qZRHvSTLIgF34b~U7nlOLYeyWq0HYXdvbMpveG-78J76ztvxtHg8JESNCO7YlmF0fh-V5qlakcgY6wR6SGoqJToy94FATyeVSytPpqvS0uW9xe2fzsp9n7dogO~So5hEXvPPluvgz9qVwAMlGCVvn52-MLhLHG-mkTMhbG-8TE317Lz45LjJqLSaaIZ-HZAIq3Qhp6agK4kq2Ievq7k~LAL~mAkoP9E7Bqs7PHFN4U8foPPgfF-fHEIi6nSYTKyEYrIDBilgVVviid8qbBhDn6P0JhpHstOtAJzB-eiDicaPxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hinsdale Board of Trustees voted Aug. 12 to approve an intergovernmental agreement with DuPage County and authorize $45,000 in grant funding for a shared social-worker program that will be staffed jointly with Burr Ridge, Darien and Willowbrook.

Luke, presenting the item, said the $45,000 comes through the DuPage County member initiative program. \"The $45,000 will support the village's ongoing participation for the shared access to a licensed social worker,\" he said. The county will consider the agreement on Aug. 26.

Trustees and staff clarified how the program operates: the social worker does not function as a co-responder on 911 calls; instead, police assess incidents and, where community members would benefit from follow-up or stabilization services, the department connects them with the shared social worker for in-person or arranged meetings. \"It's not a co responder program, so the social worker doesn't respond. What the social worker does is the police department assesses the situation... we would arrange to have the social worker meet the individual,\" the Police Chief explained.

Staff said the social worker is employed through a nonprofit contractor, not as a village employee. Trustees noted prior internal estimates that a single-community full-year cost would have been on the order of $24,000 before grant funding and that DuPage County funding halves that cost across four municipalities. The board approved the agreement by roll call.

Officials said they continue to seek other funding sources to sustain the service after the grant period and praised early results and feedback from partner communities.","Trustees approved a $45,000 intergovernmental agreement funded by DuPage County to secure shared social‑worker services with Burr Ridge, Darien and Willowbrook; the worker is a contracted nonprofit staffer used for follow-up and stabilization, not a co‑responder.",{"_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},6140749,"Hinsdale approves rezoning and subdivision for 7 new single‑family homes at former church site",110,4261000,4371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b&start=4261&end=4371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b/thumbnail_4261000.jpg","/articles/6140749/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-approves-rezoning-and-subdivision-for-7-new-singlefamily-homes-at-former-church-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6140749-1df369602ebcd7a4391215c66b23e02f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148982&Signature=G5zmZcLB7t-rBN8UEry17zFM1zeW97RgnBAFBTAB2nbSvrSWHqDmUhBMaoSBx6k4R9TD6gNtMSHwL8pVCRrqRiRBuF4jg5FIsUDK0eLiXYgJTFdK2NyKhajE48045qcbzRvNEbR4LtDnDyfU8Jl-mPFXNsNx7LUCJnfoFQx84wBvqAqAT9ERkMo-VepN6XeJeU0i9gDDyuEMrQ7j-gffgVSbVxd-1GU6NgYQwOrxPwZEUpoj8~5tDLt27mOFuefDg01pQTqozoTDHBk3-Ihc9EPy3wue9FpI2f2NcyCBTG~PaP0bjJFqIIRXXm60zEDK26J6YORwfTHkAa9J3FVRkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hinsdale Board of Trustees voted Aug. 12 to rezone and subdivide the 1.7-acre former Hinsdale Baptist Church property at 620 North Oak Street to permit seven single-family, code-compliant lots.

Luke, a village staff member, presented the application for Oak Hinsdale LLC, explaining the plan rezones 1.1 acres from IB (Institutional Building) to R-4 (single-family residential) and creates seven lots totaling 1.7 acres. The property was vacant and previously occupied by the church. The plan commission held a public hearing and recommended approval 7–0.

The developer agreed to install public improvements including a new water main along Fuller Road, a sidewalk on Fuller Road, repairs and replacement of the Oak Street sidewalk where driveway work occurs, and a fee in lieu of sidewalk construction on Franklin Street to preserve large parkway trees. The applicant will contribute $109,000 in lieu of the required 2,600 square feet of parkland, staff said. Each home will use on-site stormwater storage tanks to manage heavy downpours, modeled after recent local projects.

At the hearing trustees noted there was limited public opposition; the plan commission and staff said neighboring zoning is R-4 on all sides. The developer told the plan commission expected sale prices would range in the $2.5–$3.5 million range. The board approved the rezoning, site plan, exterior appearance and final plat by roll call.","The board approved rezoning and subdivision of the former Hinsdale Baptist Church site at 620 North Oak Street to allow seven single-family lots, with infrastructure and park-in-lieu contributions.",{"_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},6140753,"Hinsdale first-reads ordinance to tax motor fuel at Oasis rest stop; projected $100,000 a year",107,1701000,1808000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b&start=1701&end=1808","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b/thumbnail_1701000.jpg","/articles/6140753/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-first-reads-ordinance-to-tax-motor-fuel-at-Oasis-rest-stop-projected-100000-a-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6140753-383a5edc86cefaf0bc445c426bf9099a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148982&Signature=ZrkaLsX8ujfB13V2sJgJJOzs6NFe2FXyGE0f8TaFtY1saEMk2vTxQ8GxEnHy~lw2cvAetG4sAH-6wpfP7f3n1aX8-v9nAmcW0JrEwwnfkyUYAkscQa9~etgEmKMnGgyrqkWnA8DbCv~WajcHVbqKj9tbM3mESYNiKjwySDDdE5AZdDme73cucxL7ycoSlUQi6fpClwY~JEMUnElBggYtMOuGbe~zjGX8Xm5jC9XZcz-bWK4ly-2cqi1jXOvWqfI8zrRhLzg4QRY3jQ8I2htEa97GkB3Wkkdm-Zq4Dc2SGOgeYdnnYwO-dJChJinCZWSM2Vu8AuYy7YQCTBNGo1hLfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hinsdale Board of Trustees conducted a first reading Aug. 12 on a proposal to impose a 3-cent-per-gallon motor fuel tax on gas stations located within the village’s Cook County portion of the Oasis rest area.

Chair Pastima presented the proposal and explained the village originally considered a motor fuel tax after a 2019 law allowed municipalities in Cook County to impose such a tax. Illinois Department of Revenue guidance at the time required municipalities to apply the tax to all stations across municipal boundaries, which led Hinsdale to rescind the earlier plan. \"Now that we have that flexibility, we're now reimposing to charge this tax as we had originally intended back in 2019 on the gas stations located in Cook County, namely, the OASIS,\" Chair Pastima said.

The proposed tax would take effect Jan. 1 and is expected to generate approximately $100,000 in additional revenue annually; staff and trustees emphasized the Oasis station is used primarily by nonresidents and pass-through traffic. The proposal is a first reading for revenue purposes; trustees indicated a second reading is appropriate for final action.

Trustees asked logistical questions (whether the Oasis is open and ongoing development with the tollway) and confirmed the village continues discussions with the tollway about other development at the Oasis. Staff did not present a formal vote at this meeting; the ordinance proceeds to a second reading for formal adoption.","Board held a first reading to reimpose a 3¢ per gallon motor fuel tax on station(s) at the Hinsdale Oasis on the tollway, a change enabled by recent Illinois legislative action; estimated annual revenue is about $100,000 and the proposed start date is Jan. 1.",{"_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},6140759,"Hinsdale board creates Public Safety and Transportation Commission to review traffic and safety work",3131,1484000,4615000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b&start=1484&end=4615","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576932-481305e48fab9bf33a4219959162177b/thumbnail_1484000.jpg","/articles/6140759/Hinsdale/DuPage-County/Illinois/Hinsdale-board-creates-Public-Safety-and-Transportation-Commission-to-review-traffic-and-safety-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6140759-7d9abf0753b2c6aa429aa8a218f734ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148982&Signature=iO9dsn6V4Vij9v8LZ-w-Vs-d0AoM3JtFJynF4ZvSldVRGyGQ7nZCb1UhN5NBt3kBOlR71nX6ZJpDPM-2dcjrh-yIKi98WsHJ~NWrtul6TNPOQPfsQVacqQfe9mERuDH81pAHWjES2hcqNW0Kl1fHo4IVqDcLnJC3ZnCddJijGsH9dLJ2C1DkYRbYw5zLt8gNckbB3mmOL4lvSylybqLHR3psKV8~nrCvgYtul1jn3EYvdRg64BRp~Mdab~hse7zYyGZA0ypdyoe0BPC5M1ZTPKobSJIZ9JvvuAA0lKdOCdzXrSuWZ2IiXVXKfRK-LZwrT19rkQGAptnJ6ThoTpyOog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village President Greg Hart announced the board unanimously adopted an ordinance establishing a Public Safety and Transportation Commission on Aug. 12, 2025, creating a standing body to advise the village on traffic patterns, pedestrian safety and policing issues.

The commission will provide a formal channel between residents and village staff, and its first major task will be to review recommendations from a traffic safety study currently underway, Hart said. \"This new group will be a direct link between residents and the village on matters such as traffic patterns, pedestrian safety, and policing issues,\" Village President Greg Hart said.

The ordinance adds chapter 15 to the village code. The commission will include three voting members (two village trustees and one resident expert), three nonvoting stakeholder representatives from the business community and a staff liaison from police, engineering or public services, according to materials presented at the meeting. Trustees and staff said the panel is intended to be temporary (three-year term) and focused on digestible tasks; staff expects a public open house Sept. 2 to gather more input before the consultant issues final recommendations this fall.

Trustees took the measure on second reading and voted unanimously to approve the ordinance. The board also announced appointments to the commission and said the group will use the ongoing study by KLOA and a resident survey (about 250 responses so far) to shape recommendations.

The board described the commission as an advisory and coordinating body. Staff said the first phase of the consultant work will focus on the Central Business District and that later phases will address school zones and other areas in stages.","The Hinsdale Board of Trustees voted to create a Public Safety and Transportation Commission to advise the village on traffic, pedestrian safety and policing issues; the commission will review a traffic safety study this fall.","actionData","errors"]
