Summary

The board adopted Resolution 25-01 setting policy for opening invocations at meetings and approved a license agreement with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Joliet allowing the village to install and maintain a portable restroom at 207 South Main Street; trustees said the facility will support youth basketball and park users.

The Manteno Village Board adopted "Resolution 25-01," a policy regarding opening invocations before regular board meetings. During discussion, the village clerk confirmed familiarity with the duties under the new resolution and the board proceeded to approve the measure by roll call.

The board also approved an ordinance authorizing a license agreement with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Joliet permitting the village to install and maintain a portable restroom on property commonly known as 207 South Main Street. Trustee Zimbelman explained the rationale: the church allows youth teams to use its gym and the portable restroom will support those activities; she described the agreement as similar to other usage agreements the village holds with schools and community groups and said the cost will be covered with village funds.

Both items were included on the consent agenda and approved by omnibus vote; trustees noted this is a limited license agreement — the village is placing and maintaining the unit, and the church is allowing access for park and recreation activities.
