The consent agenda was moved by Trustee McClafferty and seconded; the board approved by roll call.
- Redevelopment amendment (approved): Ordinance O‑08‑25 approving the second amendment to the redevelopment agreement with Lenny’s Real Estate Develop, LLC at 10900 South Archer Avenue.

Ending: Minutes and adopted ordinances and resolutions will be posted in the village record; staff will proceed with procurement and project steps as authorized by the board.
