Summary
At its April 1 meeting the Village of Roscoe board approved bills totaling $367,898.18, multiple special‑event permits, a $5,205.57 generator repair resolution, acceptance of a land donation at 10514 Main Street, and a $79,200 design/engineering agreement for the 2025 residential streets program.
The Village of Roscoe board on April 1 approved routine permits and spending that officials said are needed for upcoming community events and capital projects.
Trustees voted to approve expenditures totaling $367,898.18, which the village clerk’s packet broke down as $262,472.64 in bills and $105,425.54 in payroll. The board also approved a consent agenda that included a $5,205.57 contract for generator repairs and an ordinance accepting the donation of a portion of the property at 10514 Main Street.
The board granted special event permits for multiple returning and new events: the Stateline YMCA Stonebridge 1/2 marathon and 5K (Sept. 27), the Roscoe Maker's Mercantile (June 21, new event organized by Katie Thompson of Blank Jewelry), the Chicory Bridal garage sale (May 17–18), the Rock Valley radio‑control plane flying event (Aug. 23) and Gigi’s Playhouse Race for Acceptance 5K (May 3). Trustees said vendors will use village parking areas and that organizers coordinated traffic and staging with village staff.
Trustees also approved Resolution 2025‑R‑11, authorizing an agreement with Bear Grampa and Associates for design, construction observation and materials testing services for the 2025 residential streets program in the amount of $79,200. The program’s proposed scope, described in the meeting packet, includes complete pavement removal, aggregate base replacement, driveway reconstructions and a new surface of approximately three inches of pavement on identified residential roads (Roscoe Center Subdivision, Parkway Drive, Tierra Matt Court and Andrews Drive). Staff said the design work is needed to prepare the project for bid.
Several of the agenda items — including special event permits for summer events — were advanced after the board voted to suspend the rules so organizers could begin fundraising and logistical planning.
