Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Romeoville Village Board approved proclamations (Virginia bluebell; National Volunteer Week), recognized the retiring RHS band director, passed a consent agenda of contracts and resolutions, and adopted ordinances for short‑term rentals and e‑scooter/e‑bike regulations (the latter approved as amended).
The Romeoville Village Board approved a series of items April 15, including proclamations, recognitions, multiple contract awards and two ordinances.
Proclamations and recognitions: The board adopted Proclamation 26‑35‑96 designating the Virginia bluebell as the village flower and Proclamation 26‑35‑84 recognizing National Volunteer Week. The board also presented a recognition to Clark Anderson on his retirement after 32 years as Romeoville High School band director.
Consent agenda: Trustees approved the consent agenda by roll call. Key items included Resolution 26‑41‑82 (development security for improvements associated with the 7 Brew drive‑through), a waiver of bidding and acceptance of a proposal from Reagan Communications for radio upgrades, use of MFT funds for street maintenance for FY2026, contract awards for the 2026 hot mix asphalt program and the 2026 concrete repair program, the 2026 subdivision resurfacing program contract, acceptance of public improvements for TownePlace Suites Hotel, and an amendment to the Waste Management contract for refuse, recycling and yard waste collection.
Ordinances: The board adopted Ordinance 26‑20‑46 adding chapter 153 on short‑term rentals (requiring residential rentals to be in excess of 30 days). The board also adopted Ordinance 26‑4‑2049 amending chapter 78 to add rules for e‑scooters and e‑bikes (age limits, helmet requirements, roadway restrictions); the latter was approved as amended to correct class 1 and class 2 e‑bike age references to 14.
Votes: The meeting record shows voice or roll‑call approval for proclamations and unanimous roll‑call approval for the consent agenda and the ordinances. Where roll call was recorded, trustees responded "Aye" and motions carried.
What’s next: Staff will implement adopted ordinances through permitting and enforcement guidance, continue permit review for the 7 Brew project and begin the police department's education campaign on the new e‑device rules the following day.
