The Village of Broadview Board on Nov. 13 approved payment of $286,150.85 in bills and established and approved a consent agenda that included a preliminary property tax levy estimate of $8,774,687 to be collected in 2026, the clerk reported.
The clerk read the warrant list for the period ending Nov. 13, 2025, listing vendor payments that included Broadview Fire Pension ($43,889.40), Broadview Police Pension ($29,813.88), Broadview Public Library District (read in the transcript as $96,411.50), AT&T ($20,828.13) and others. "The grand total of all funds, dollars $286,150.85 for the period ending 11/13/2025," the clerk said as the board reviewed expenditures.
The board voted to pay the bills after a roll call; the motion was recorded in the transcript as carrying 5 to 0. The clerk also noted a manual payment to North Central Emergency Vehicles related to a new ambulance; the clerk read a check number, but the transcript's rendering of that payment amount is unclear.
On new business the clerk read four items proposed for a consent agenda: (1) approval of the preliminary 2025 property tax levy to be collected in 2026 in the amount of $8,774,687 (referenced in the hearing as made in accordance with Illinois truth-in-taxation procedures), (2) a resolution for a joint federally funded construction agreement for the 21st Street Bridge, (3) a resolution with the Illinois Department of Transportation for bridge work on 21st Street over Addison Creek under the Illinois Highway Code, and (4) an intergovernmental agreement with the state for routine maintenance of state routes in Broadview. Trustees discussed having had time to review materials in advance. The board established the consent agenda and then approved it; both motions were recorded in the transcript as carrying 5 to 0.
