Lisle board approves invoices, consent agenda, PUD change and engineering agreement; grants and purchases move forward

The Lisle Village Board on April 21 approved routine minutes and bills, a package of consent items, and several ordinances and resolutions affecting downtown development and infrastructure.

What the board approved - Minutes: Regular Village Board and Committee of the Whole meeting minutes from April 7, 2025 (motion passed by roll call). - Invoice list: Approved $372,537.19 in bills (roll-call vote; motion passed). - Consent agenda: Items A–P were approved as presented with a separate vote on Item K (streetlight repair services). Consent items included: March 2025 treasurer’s report; water and sewer rate adjustments effective May 1 (3% plus DuPage Water Commission pass-through); establishment of TIF interested-party registries for proposed Lincoln Avenue/Route 53 and East Ogden Avenue TIFs and related public hearing scheduling; installation of an electric-vehicle charging station (budgeted at $34,500 with a related $4,400 amendment); renewal of DUI prosecution services; police uniform purchase (up to $31,000); design engineering for downtown streetscape maintenance (Civiltech, up to $267,482); streetlight repair extension (Item K, RAG Electric, up to $55,000); tree trimming extension (up to $46,150); street sweeping extension (up to $85,600); landscape plant-bed maintenance (up to $75,400); janitorial services (up to $63,480); and fleet lift replacement purchase order (amount in packet; village staff to finalize). - Ordinance — Mollex Incorporated second-amendment PUD: Approved a minor change allowing construction of a combined loading and trash-dock addition and adjacent parking modification at 2222 Wellington Court (roll-call vote; motion passed). - Resolution — Dedication of easement and plat of easement: Accepted a maintenance and access easement for an off-site stormwater basin that will serve the Nest Exotic Wellness Center expansion; the easement complies with DuPage County countywide stormwater and floodplain ordinance requirements (motion passed). - Resolution — Business development grant amendment (4700–4704 Main Street): Extended performance deadlines for a previously approved grant. The restaurant’s work deadline was extended to December 2025 and the deli/market retail concept to June 2026 (motion passed). - Resolution — Preliminary engineering services agreement with BNSF Railway (Lisle Levee Improvement Project): Authorized the village manager to execute an agreement under which BNSF will review levy-design plans; BNSF estimated its review cost at $242,000 with the village’s financial exposure capped at $20,000 absent further board approval; the motion passed on roll call.

How the board voted: Most items passed by roll call with unanimous “aye” votes from the mayor and trustees present. Where individual roll-call tallies were read, the clerk recorded unanimous approval.

Why it matters: The actions advance maintenance and capital work (streetscape, fleet lift, street sweeping and tree maintenance), adjust water and sewer rates planned for May 1, and move forward with infrastructure and development steps — including an engineering review required by BNSF that is a condition of the Lisle Levee Improvement Project.

Next steps: Staff will finalize contracts and purchase orders consistent with the approved not-to-exceed amounts and return necessary contract documents for signature. The BNSF review and associated easement work will continue as part of the levee project’s design and easement acquisition process.

No contested roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript; trustees and the mayor voiced support for the listed items during deliberations.
