Lindenhurst board approves liquor license amendment, multiple contracts and service platform transition
Summary
At its March 23 meeting the Lindenhurst Village Board approved an amendment to Steph’s Place’s liquor license to add owners and expand premises (retaining four video gaming terminals), confirmed a three‑year electric contract with Dynegy, authorized streetscape electrical design and approved a transition to SeeClickFix.
The Village of Lindenhurst Village Board on March 23 approved a package of business and service actions, including an amendment to the liquor license for Steph’s Place, confirmation of an electric service agreement and authorization for several professional and vendor contracts.
The Board voted 4–0, with Trustees Pat Dickson, Pat Dunham, Dawn Suchy and Heath Rosten voting aye and Trustees Patty Chybowski and Ron Grace absent, to amend the Class A‑V liquor license for Steph’s Place at 1854 Grand Avenue. The amendment adds new owners to the license application and expands the licensed premises to include part of the adjacent 1850 Grand Avenue space; the proposed expansion would accommodate up to 74 seats. The business will continue to operate four video gaming terminals; the minutes note the applicant remains responsible for meeting Village Code so the establishment is not classified as a prohibited “video gaming café.”
The board also confirmed execution of a three‑year electric service agreement for the wastewater treatment plant and Village‑owned streetlights with Dynegy after soliciting bids with roughly 80 participating municipalities; Dynegy submitted the lowest of four bids. The Board approved a master FY 2026–2027 vendor list and authorized the Village Administrator to execute service agreements with listed vendors as needed.
In a separate vote, the Board authorized Christopher B. Burke Engineering (CBBEL) to perform electrical engineering design for Grand Avenue streetscape elements—covering identity signage and four receptacle locations for seasonal lighting—at a cost not to exceed $23,400. Those design drawings will be provided to Teska for inclusion in the full streetscape plan and eventual submittal to IDOT. The Board instructed staff to include the cost in the FY 2026–2027 CIP.
Staff also explained that CivicPlus acquired Beehive (the Village’s E311 system) and is transitioning clients to SeeClickFix; after negotiations the Village agreed to implement SeeClickFix with an upfront cost not to exceed $8,473.81 and an anticipated implementation timeline of about 14 weeks.
Finance items approved earlier in the meeting included the Treasurer’s Report for February 2026 showing total funds of $18,222,753.09 as of Feb. 28 and approval of the second set of March bills totaling $143,437.99 for invoices due on or before March 23.
