“In the resident survey, it's quite clear to me that we have really competent, high qualified people that are doing the survey, and I think we're gonna get really good information,” Trustee Clayton said. “But I think there's a phase 5 that may be missing, and that has to do with the actual implementation of anything that we find out.”

Trustees noted several existing documents and data sources that the new survey will join: a 2015 survey, a 2016 strategic plan, a campus survey, a land-use survey, a sustainability survey and the comprehensive plan. Trustee Trina (name noted in the transcript as Trustee Trina) urged assigning ownership and accountability so that responsibilities and deadlines are clear. Trustees discussed limits on staff capacity and suggested stronger partnerships with the RRA or adding staff to manage implementation.

Board members emphasized that implementing findings will require prioritization and budgeting. One trustee said staff already juggle many activities and that adding responsibilities without clear priorities or funds would be difficult. The transcript records no formal motion or vote on assigning ownership or funds; trustees asked staff to prepare approaches that identify who would lead implementation, estimated costs and possible partnerships.

The board confirmed its next meeting is Oct. 7 and then adjourned.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOT Meeting 9/16/25 pt 2","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees praised the quality of the resident survey effort but said the board needs a distinct implementation phase that assigns ownership, staff time and funding to turn survey findings into action.","taxTitle","Riverwoods, Lake County, Illinois","taxId",74455,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},5982300,"Trustee urges ordinance to curb electric bikes after near-miss on Blackthorn Road",387,41000,428000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766971-877c644aa5f6703e602f82234978732c&start=41&end=428","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766971-877c644aa5f6703e602f82234978732c/thumbnail_41000.jpg","/articles/5982300/Riverwoods/Lake-County/Illinois/Trustee-urges-ordinance-to-curb-electric-bikes-after-near-miss-on-Blackthorn-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982300-84d7cfd00dc8e162f11f61ba5acd41f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771042349&Signature=aPSDZULKUNHZ8xZDqwC~sdPpSzEcXY82Tun7VvpEJcy0W~RkhioB4QlxvCLre0P7wYnYzqLagP3HWwbXCngrdz-oILR29AMBBSNL0y1SDtfd9a6lHsS9GVYfZvGG2uwRW2~PdDf~KLk8o~-XMQd6ohuDBoL3osCoUK~kZIb3uIHAbwlbUmm~z2iWyIVgNOosDuroepTq1458WXpG2HCOY2-uYutxGgf51FUdaMNcBd1H2Ljk9rC3xHQmY9yCVFQvw74iCsTEWVwPXvMun1qsU5Vm3MzYjjA1C5qFYdJG6~H2ieMeHLiSJ7GflyGBkq~tLphj~7i731o2kMHzhTt~RA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustee Jamerson told the Village Board of Trustees that children riding an electric bicycle and a motorized minibike nearly collided with him while he was on Blackthorn Road, and urged the board to consider an ordinance to curb or ban such devices on village streets.

“I almost killed 2 people, about a week ago, little kids on an electric bike and a motorized mini bike driving down Blackthorn Road, at a very high rate of speed,” Trustee Jamerson said. He said the riders were not neighborhood residents and that vehicles he described as electric bikes and unicycleshaped devices can reach speeds of 30 miles per hour; one resident described a device that “goes about 35 miles an hour.”

Trustees discussed options including following model language from other municipalities and the Illinois Vehicle Code. A staff member summarized Deerfield’s approach, saying the municipality requires compliance with the Illinois Vehicle Code, prohibits electric bikes on sidewalks and requires riders 15 and younger to wear helmets. The transcript shows no formal vote on an ordinance. Multiple trustees expressed support for drafting a document to review.

Trustees raised enforcement and outreach questions: how the village would notify residents about a new rule, whether signs or a public hearing would be needed, whether an initial grace period for warnings would be appropriate and whether private-street associations could request village enforcement. Trustee Trevino noted that a newsletter alone would not reach everyone. Trustee Clayton said he owns an electric bike and emphasized concerns about balancing restrictions with residents’ lawful use; he confirmed a driver’s license would affect allowable use under some models discussed.

Trustee Jamerson asked the board to instruct the village attorney to draft proposed language; trustees agreed to pursue a draft for future consideration and public review. The transcript does not record a formal ordinance introduction, public hearing date or final action.","Following a near-collision with fast-moving electric and motorized bikes, trustees asked the attorney to draft an ordinance to restrict or ban certain motorized devices on village streets and discussed enforcement and education measures.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":42,"_45":90,"_46":91,"_48":92,"_50":93,"_52":94,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":95,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":96,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},5982304,"Trustees approve agreement effective at month’s end",34,34000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5766971-877c644aa5f6703e602f82234978732c&start=0&end=34","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5766971-877c644aa5f6703e602f82234978732c/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/5982304/Riverwoods/Lake-County/Illinois/Trustees-approve-agreement-effective-at-months-end","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982304-bada6b52190f9bea007a53bd5efdf010/orig.mp4?Expires=1771042349&Signature=UeaiJMn4HmTs-7M4DcCjAaB27XvA4vT-38Wc9jASwLIixFC7QsaQhqWjskzl9rUo6Lt3GPuJ61-a77yzoLvYMCDtIbyMgbFKrDLXnx~mg~qxI1SZ55RNOTrdknBdjAUbwYWlMR1yCR9rIn2K8pYpui9T2dWy7j3NfOBdpWlYtOzAmWvi53tIJpNDEzKJFNOc3m3YEfT670wtXO7D6MBBi0PEuSeUElTnYZBJMfm9sxI~w4QJ9Jn2lchAIAzqzQa6Jlq59JV6y01iBdZN7Ah~AJ7TVCEvwfk3twCXzL~T9qvTZAYI5flFgCf2P~HcRco2Zm2Zn2uxKtLbi7iqoLxC2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve an agreement the board had reviewed, with the agreement set to take effect at the end of the month. Trustees Clayton, Eastman, Jamerson, Rath and Trevino each voted “aye” on a motion to approve the terms.

The board recorded the vote after a brief request for a motion and second; no further discussion is shown in the transcript before the roll call. A board member stated, “Effective, at the end of the month. And, the board has reviewed the terms, and that's what the agreement covers.”

The motion text presented to the board was to approve the agreement covering the reviewed terms and to set the effective date at the end of the month. The transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motion and does not provide additional details about the agreement’s subject matter or any financial terms.

Trustee Jamerson, Trustee Clayton, Trustee Eastman, Trustee Rath and Trustee Trevino were recorded voting in favor. The board chair declared, “Motion passes.”

The meeting proceeded to board comments after the vote and adjourned later in the session. The board noted its next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 7.","The village trustees voted unanimously to approve an agreement the board had reviewed; the measure takes effect at the end of the month.","actionData","errors"]
