The minutes note that the Annual Appropriation Ordinance was presented in advance of a June 8 public hearing. The minutes do not list a total dollar amount for the adopted operating budget in the record and the budget document was not available at the meeting.
The trustees also approved a resolution to retain Greeley and Hansen to perform an initial feasibility study examining Lake Michigan water supply options through the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency (NSMJAWA). The resolution passed by roll call (Ayes-4, Nays-0, Absent-2). The board's action authorized the study proposal; the minutes do not specify the contract value or study timeline.

Building Officer Mike Moreland and Village Engineer Natalie Karney gave brief updates regarding permitting activity and the new Sundance subdivision. Police Chief Thomas Roman reported on officer applicant interviews and testing.
The minutes record that the Honorable Ketki Steffen administered the Oath of Office to Trustees Kanu Panchal and Hina Patel following certification of the April 4 consolidated election results by the Cook County Clerk. The board approved a resolution accepting those certified election results.
