La Grange trustees approve consent agenda and shrink Environmental Quality Commission
Summary
The board approved routine consent items and voted unanimously to reduce the Environmental Quality Commission from 15 to 9 members to address quorum problems; both votes passed by roll call.
At the meeting’s close, trustees approved the consent agenda — which included purchases for parkway trees, a 2026 Ford F‑350 purchase, disposal of village property, minutes and a consolidated voucher — by roll call. Trustee Gail moved approval and the motion carried unanimously.
The board then considered an ordinance to amend sections 33.105 and 33.108 of the La Grange code of ordinances to reduce the Environmental Quality Commission from 15 to 9 members, a change recommended by the commission chair and staff to address chronic quorum problems. The ordinance passed by roll call vote; the current nine commissioners would continue to serve under the new composition.
The motions and votes were recorded in the meeting minutes and passed without recorded dissent. Two trustees were absent (Trustee McGee and Trustee O’Brien) and the president noted a quorum was present for votes.
