Trustees reviewed updated technical drawings and site concepts for the village Public Works building, which include rotating the building to place overhead doors away from the street, adding one additional stall, and modifying exterior finish and firewall elements to reduce cost. Staff and the engineer noted trade‑offs in orientation, clearances from the well, and connection points for utilities.

Trustees debated whether to prepare a detailed site plan and include it in the bid package or to require bidders to supply a site plan. Several trustees argued that providing a site plan before bidding yields consistent bids; others noted additional surveying or utility information may be required. After discussion, a trustee moved and the board voted to direct the village engineer firm (Rooker/Milke) to prepare a detailed site plan — including building orientation, utilities and yard layout — and return it to the board before proceeding to advertise bids.

Following that direction, the board approved the building plans as presented and authorized the project to be advertised for bid subject to the board’s later site plan approval. Staff estimated site plan work could be completed in time to appear on the next meeting’s agenda depending on the needed level of detail.

Next steps: the engineer will draft the detailed site plan, return it to the board for review, and staff will include site plan contingencies in the procurement timeline.
