Summary
At its Feb. 23 meeting the Village Board approved several second-reading ordinances (liquor-license reclassification, emergency medical transport fees, VilleFest commission restructure), a final change order for the Jackson area improvement project that reduced contract cost by $809,949.20, and a slate of commission appointments; the board also scheduled an executive session.
The Village Board of Villa Park approved multiple routine and procedural items on Feb. 23 by roll call or voice vote.
Key approvals included:
- Liquor-license reclassification: The board approved an ordinance decreasing the number of Class AA licenses and increasing the number of Class AAA licenses for a named business (second reading).
- EMS fees: Trustees approved an amendment to municipal code provisions establishing fees for emergency medical transportation and related services (second reading).
- VilleFest commission restructuring: The board adopted an ordinance dissolving the VilleFest Commission and permitting a VillaFest subcommittee under the Community Fund Commission (second reading); trustees discussed staffing and membership size and approved the change.
- Jackson area final change order: The board approved final change order No. 2 with Trine Construction Corp. for the Jackson area improvement project, which reduced the contract by a net $809,949.20, yielding an adjusted contract amount of $5,849,474.64; staff said the deduction reflects final balancing of contract quantities measured in the field and will reduce the village's out-of-pocket stormwater fund obligation.
