Summary
The board approved the consent agenda and resolutions to purchase winter road salt and release a landscape maintenance security; it denied a mobile food facility license for Chicken Grill and Tacos at 734 Montgomery Road (0–6) and accepted a village utility easement at Marquis Point.
At the meeting the Village of Montgomery board took several formal actions.
Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda (minutes of Oct. 14, accounts payable and summary report for Oct. 28, refuse report for 09/24/2024, and appointment of Michael Webster to the Historic Preservation Commission). Roll-call votes were recorded and the consent agenda carried 6–0.
Mobile food facility license (Chicken Grill and Tacos, 734 Montgomery Road): Staff reported receipt of an application to add this mobile vendor at 734 Montgomery Road. After discussion about prior consistency on this property and the density of mobile vendors in the area, a motion to approve failed on roll call; the resolution was defeated 0–6.
Salt purchase (MFT funds): The board approved a resolution authorizing staff to submit paperwork to IDOT to expend Motor Fuel Tax funds for the village’s salt purchase for winter operations. Staff said pricing was established at approximately $68.30 per ton and the village requested about 980 tons with 20 percent over/under flexibility. The resolution carried 6–0.
Release of landscape maintenance security (Royal University / Spartan Athletic Park): Trustees approved the release of remaining landscape maintenance bond funds after the maintenance period concluded; the motion carried 6–0.
Village utility easement (Marquis Point): The board accepted a village utility easement necessary for utility extensions across a park site for D.R. Horton’s Marquis Point development; the park-district approval remains required but the board carried the resolution on the record.
Executive session motion: The board voted to adjourn into executive session to discuss the employment of an employee pursuant to "5 LCS 120 or 2C1" (as stated in the transcript); roll call recorded affirmative votes and the meeting was adjourned to closed session.
