Lemont board approves annexation, zoning variances and $115,000 parking garage repair contract; consent agenda items pass

The Village of Lemont Village Board on June 23 approved an annexation, granted zoning variances for a residential rebuild, awarded a contract for parking garage repairs and passed a consent agenda that included budget amendments and police-related equipment purchases.

The board adopted Ordinance O-34-25 to annex a single lot at 14633 Main Street into the Village of Lemont. The ordinance was moved by Trustee Stapleton and seconded by Trustee Justin McLafferty; the clerk recorded a roll call with the motion approved (Shaughnessy listed as absent in the roll call). The transcript characterizes the annexation as "a simple ordinance" and notes the lot sits across the street from Franciscan Village.

The board also approved Ordinance O-35-25 granting variations from the Lemont Unified Development Ordinance for property at 210 Cass Street. The variations allow a detached garage to remain and permit a side-loaded garage for a new home there. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the project; the item was moved and approved by roll call.

On a separate motion, the board awarded a contract for parking garage improvements to Bergland Construction, the low bidder, at $115,000. Ralph, a staff member who presented the bids, told the board the work would include "concrete sealer, epoxy crack injection, some storm drain repair, some joint sealer, all work that needs to be done to the garage to keep it functional for us." The resolution (R-45-25) was moved by Trustee Snagowski and seconded by Trustee Kittridge and approved by roll call (the clerk recorded yes votes; a member was listed as absent earlier in the meeting).

Separately, the consent agenda — as amended to remove Ordinance O-31-25 for separate consideration — included approval of minutes from June 9, disbursements for June 10 to June 23, Ordinance O-30-25 (amending operators of amusements/special events), Ordinance O-32-25 and O-33-25 (fiscal year operating budget amendments), Resolution R-42-25 (authorizing order and purchase of police vehicles), Resolution R-43-25 (graphics removal and emergency equipment installation for police vehicles), and Resolution R-44-25 (loan from the general fund to the I&M TIF fund). The consent agenda passed on roll call after O-31-25 was removed for separate handling.

The board's discussion and votes were conducted in open session; the transcript contains roll-call confirmations and recorded approvals for the actions above. The transcript does not list effective dates for the ordinances or provide detailed budget line-item breakdowns for the budget amendments.
