Wheeling trustees approve consent agenda, sign variance for Dundee Road property, minutes and bills
Summary
At its Jan. 20 meeting the Village of Wheeling Board of Trustees approved two sets of minutes, a multi‑item consent agenda (including grants, contracts and a large water‑main contract listed in the agenda), an ordinance granting a wall‑sign variance at 337 W. Dundee Rd., and bills for Jan. 1–15 by roll call.
The Village of Wheeling Board of Trustees on Jan. 20 approved routine business on a unanimous roll call, including minutes, a consent agenda of resolutions and contracts, an ordinance granting a signage variation for 337 West Dundee Road, and payment of village bills covering Jan. 1–15.
Why it matters: The consent agenda bundled several budgetary and operational items — grants, contracts, tree‑planting participation and engineering services — that authorize spending, external grants or contract awards. The sign‑variance approval allows a wall sign on a nonpermitted façade at 337 West Dundee Road, subject to the terms discussed in planning review.
Items approved on the consent agenda (as read into the record): 11A Resolution approving a bond record‑keeping report; 11B Resolution ratifying acceptance of an Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (VOCA) grant award for two police social workers; 11C Resolution approving continued participation in the Suburban Tree Consortium for parkway tree purchase and installation for FY2025; 11D Resolution approving a one‑year renewal agreement for engineering services with Gualt Hampton Hamilton Associates, Inc., for storm sewer assessment and mapping in an amount not to exceed $750,000 in FY2025; 11E Resolution authorizing the village president to execute an Illinois EPA 319 grant for the Stream Bank Stabilization Project; 11F Resolution accepting a publicly bid contract with Mark Markham Construction, Inc., for the Dundee Road Water Main Project in the amount stated in the agenda; 11G Resolution approving a two‑year contract with HGS LLC (Rez Environmental Operating Company, LLC) for invasive plant control and maintenance services in the amount stated in the agenda; 11H Resolution waiving competitive bidding and accepting a proposal from Twin Lake Marine for one all‑terrain vehicle in the amount stated in the agenda; 11I Ordinance declaring surplus personal property and authorizing disposal by recycling, trade‑in, donation or public auction; 11J Resolution approving certain executive‑session meeting minutes.
The board then approved an application from Northbrook Bank and Trust to permit a wall sign on a nonpermitted façade at 337 West Dundee Road (docket PV24‑0018). The planning commission had unanimously recommended approval on Jan. 8, and the board’s vote carried by roll call.
Procedural approvals: The board approved the minutes of the Dec. 16, 2024 and Jan. 6, 2025 regular meetings by voice/roll call, and approved payment of village bills for Jan. 1–15 following a motion and roll call.
Clarifying note about amounts listed in the agenda: The agenda lists specific dollar amounts for some contracts and grants (for example, a storm‑sewer agreement “not to exceed $750,000” and other contract amounts read into the record). One agenda line read a numerical figure for the Dundee Road Water Main Project that appears unusually large in the verbatim transcript; the transcript text is reported here as stated in the meeting record and flagged for verification against official bid documents.
Ending: All items on the consent agenda and the listed ordinances and motions were adopted on unanimous roll call; the meeting adjourned by motion.
