Key outcomes at a glance

- Approval of minutes: Trustees approved the regular meeting minutes for April 14, 2025. (Motion by Trustee Juarez; roll call recorded all present voting yes.)

- Commission reappointments and appointments: The board approved annual commission reappointments for fiscal year 2025–26 and reappointed Carrie Gerasche to the Planning & Zoning Commission. The board appointed Danielle Little and Seth Arp to the Mundelein Arts Commission; both took the oath of office.

- Ordinance — variation: The board passed an ordinance granting a rear yard setback variation for the property at 1017 Concord Circle, with conditions stated in the ordinance. (Motion by Trustee Wilson.)

- Redevelopment agreement amendment: The board approved an amendment to the amended and restated redevelopment agreement with Mundelein Downtown Properties LLC (Cardinal Square, Mundelein Station). (Motion by Trustee Wilson.)

- Park Street seasonal use license: The board adopted a resolution authorizing a seasonal use license for Park Street public property.

- Payments and bills: The governing body approved payment of bills for 04/15/2025–04/28/2025 in the amount of $689,311.54. Separate AT&T bills and related telecomm charges were also approved.

- Ordinance and administrative changes: The board passed an ordinance amending Title 3 Chapter 8 (registration fees and effective dates corrected to 07/01/2025) and approved amendments to Chapter 2.1 concerning the functions and fee‑setting authority of the village administrator (clarified to allow setting credit‑card processing fees to avoid repeated ordinance updates).

- Intergovernmental agreement and equipment purchases: The board authorized an intergovernmental agreement with the Mundelein Park and Recreation District and approved purchase order 25‑00178 to Motorola Solutions for two APX NEXT portable radios.

- Engineering and inspection services: The board approved purchase orders/contract authority for engineering and construction observation services to Wold/Hamilton Associates (on‑call engineering: $96,000; roadway improvement construction inspection: $69,479; infrastructure construction observation: $39,244) and authorized the director of public works and engineering to sign the related contract(s).

Why this matters: The votes carry forward current capital projects, redevelopment work and public safety equipment purchases, and they set administrative parameters (fees and administrator authority) that will affect municipal operations.

Roll‑call and procedure notes: Most motions were adopted unanimously by roll call with the board members present. Several items were moved by Trustee Juarez, Trustee Wilson or Trustee Schwenk and seconded by other trustees as noted in the minutes. No formal action was taken on the Teravis cannabis presentation; that discussion will require a future code amendment and formal board action if pursued.

Items approved but not fully detailed in packet: The packet and discussion corrected effective dates for several fee changes; trustees noted the year was incorrectly printed and the effective date is 07/01/2025. Several procurement motions authorized subsequent purchase orders and contract signatures by staff.
