Riverside board approves consent agenda, authorizes acquisition of riverfront property for flood wall
Summary
At its April 3 meeting the Village of Riverside board approved the consent agenda including interfund transfers and code amendments, and unanimously approved an assignment agreement that moves the village toward acquiring riverfront parcels for the Groveland flood wall project.
Riverside, Ill. — The Village of Riverside Board of Trustees approved its consent agenda and unanimously authorized a contract assignment to let the village acquire two riverfront parcels needed for ongoing flood‑control planning at its April 3 meeting.
The consent agenda passed by roll call included routine items and several substantive items described in the board packet: approval of the bills list for April 3, 2025, and minutes from the March 20 regular meeting; review and filing of commission minutes (Historical Commission, Planning & Zoning); a resolution authorizing a $750,000 interfund transfer from the general fund and a $125,000 interfund transfer from the parks and recreation fund to the capital projects fund to finance capital expenditures; a license agreement between the Village of Riverside and Joe Maguire, doing business as Mister Souvenir; an ordinance amending Title 4, Chapter 1 of the village code relating to certificates of compliance; and an ordinance approving a settlement agreement.
President Doug Pollock asked for and received a motion and second to approve the consent agenda; the roll call recorded all ayes (Trustee Marshowska, Trustee Clarity, Trustee Evans, Trustee Coss and Trustee Gallegos). "Consent agenda is approved," Pollock said.
The board also approved an ordinance authorizing an assignment agreement with Maple Avenue Real Estate Advisors LLC that assigns to the village the seller's purchase contract for properties at 8 and 8½ West Avenue. Assistant Village Manager Ashley Monroe said the parcels are needed "to move forward the Groveland flood wall" and the village will assume Maple Avenue Real Estate’s obligations under the contract. The motion to approve passed on a roll call that recorded unanimous support (same trustees voting aye).
Ending: Both the consent agenda and the acquisition ordinance passed without dissent; staff will proceed with the capital transfers and the real‑estate assignment process.
