The Itasca Village Board approved its consent agenda and several administrative items during its Jan. 6 meeting, authorized payment of bills totaling $1,332,287.29, and remanded two pending development items to staff for further negotiation and revised plans.
Consent and legislative items: The mayor listed three consent agenda items: A) a resolution to approve an agreement with NTT Global Data Center CH LLC for CH3 in the substation; B) adoption of DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference 2026 legislative priorities; and C) adoption of the Illinois Municipal League 2026 state legislative agenda. The board approved the consent agenda by roll-call vote.
Payment of bills: Trustee Powers presented a bills register totaling $1,332,287.29 and highlighted key payments: final payment to John Neri Construction for the Orchard Street water-main replacement (including a $25,000 retention and a $65,000 two-year bond), payment to the Village of Addison for two quarters of dispatch services ($155,000), Robinson Engineering progress billings (about $123,000), payment to Dinergy Energy Services for two months of electricity ($76,000), and payroll covering two biweekly pay periods plus residuals. The motion to approve the record of bills passed by roll call.
Old business remanded: Trustee Gavanas said two old-business items require significant negotiation with petitioners and new design submittals; the board voted to remand the items to staff with a commitment to return them prior to the 90-day statutory deadline for action or extension.
Department reports and community items: The police chief reported DuPage County Continuum of Care will conduct an overnight count (Jan. 28–29) with about 100 volunteers; the department will notify the midnight sergeant. The chief also reported four New Year’s Eve DUIs (two involving crashes) and described a residential vehicle/garage break-in where the suspect was seen on video with a gun; detectives are investigating using camera leads. Dean reported the village received a $25,000 DuPage County grant for Inverness Lane and Usher Park and said staff will roll out a replacement mass-notification system after a November Code Red data breach; the system will support text, email and geo-targeted voice calls. Jennifer reminded trustees of CIP workshops on Feb. 19 (5:00 p.m.) and Feb. 24 (if needed). Carrie Anne said trustees would receive a strategic-priorities survey and that bargaining with Local 150 and the police union is planned to begin in February. The mayor also announced Winterfest Saturday at the nature center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a 'Coffee with the Mayor' event is scheduled for Jan. 24 at Bigby at 9 a.m.
Adjournment: With no closed session required, the board adjourned after a motion and roll-call vote.
