Summary

Trustees approved the purchase of a Braun Select XLI ambulance (not to exceed $498,664), a resolution waiving construction noise hours for the Hinsdale Public Library to allow 6 a.m. weekday starts, and the consent accounts payable batch totaling $519,613.45.

At its meeting, the Hinsdale Board of Trustees approved several formal items by roll call.

Minutes and consent items: The board approved the regular meeting minutes of Feb. 17, 2026, and a consent-agenda payment batch covering 02/18/2026 through 03/03/2026 in the aggregate amount of $519,613.45.

Ambulance purchase: The board approved a second-reading purchase to acquire a Braun Select XLI ambulance with power cot and load system from North Central Emergency Vehicles of Plainfield, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $498,664. Staff noted the department operates two ambulances and scheduled replacement follows the village's capital plan; long manufacturing lead times prompted ordering in 2026 for anticipated delivery in 2029'2030.

Library construction noise waiver: Trustees waived the first reading and approved a resolution authorizing a waiver of construction noise-hours limitations under section 9-12-2 of the Hinsdale Village Code, allowing the Hinsdale Public Library to commence interior-construction activities at 6 a.m. on weekdays to reduce project conflicts and meet schedule goals. The board noted the work is interior but that early mobilization may require exterior contractor presence.

Roll-call details: Each approved item passed by roll-call votes recorded by the clerk; the transcript records ayes during roll calls but does not include a complete per-member vote-tally in the meeting text.
