Villa Park board approves renovation of parks maintenance restroom, Village Manager says
Summary
Village Manager Mike Rivas announced that the Village of Villa Park board approved renovating a maintenance-garage restroom used by parks staff; planned work includes separate utility closets, a new sink, and upgraded toilet and urinal, though the transcript does not specify timeline, budget, or vote tally.
The Village of Villa Park will rehabilitate a restroom and adjacent space used by parks maintenance staff after the village board approved an upgrade, Village Manager Mike Rivas said in a Village Manager’s Minute recording.
Rivas recorded the segment in the parks maintenance garage and said the facility—which includes a utility sink and hot-water heater—is used by as many as 20 parks employees during summer. He said the board has approved plans "to upgrade and rehabilitate and redo this entire space," and described intended changes that include walled-off utility closets, a new sink and improved toilet and urinal facilities.
Explaining the rationale, Rivas said caring for staff matters. "My philosophy is if you take care of the village employees, they'll take care of the rest of the village," he said in the recording.
The transcript did not include the motion language, vote tally, budget amount or a construction timeline. Rivas also thanked viewers at the end of the segment. The village did not provide additional details in the recording about when work will begin or how it will be funded.
