Romeoville trustees approve non‑highway vehicle rules, alcohol/gaming code change and multi‑item consent agenda
Summary
At the Nov. 5 meeting trustees adopted ordinance 25‑20‑13 restricting non‑highway vehicles on public streets with limited exceptions, approved ordinance 25‑20‑14 to extend video‑gaming location endorsements for certain hotel liquor licenses, and passed a consent agenda containing multiple contracts and resolutions (deeds, sewer lining, purchasing waivers and labor‑agreement items).
The Village of Romeoville board on Nov. 5 approved two ordinances and a multi‑item consent agenda in a series of roll‑call votes.
Ordinance 25‑20‑13 prohibits operation of non‑highway recreational or utility vehicles (examples cited included golf carts and off‑road four‑wheelers) on village public streets, with exceptions for village personnel performing official duties and for homeowners association personnel performing work in association common areas; vehicles operating under an exception must comply with Illinois rules of the road and applicable village traffic ordinances. The motion to adopt the ordinance passed by roll call with trustees voting aye.
Ordinance 25‑20‑14 was presented as an administrative code cleanup that also extends video‑gaming terminal location endorsements to two hotel liquor license categories (referred to in the code as "g" and "g1" licenses). Trustees described the change as administrative and approved the ordinance by roll call.
The consent agenda—moved and seconded by trustees Griffin and Gary—included a long list of routine approvals and resolutions that the board approved together. Items enumerated on the agenda included approval of minutes and bill schedules; ordinance authorizing execution and delivery of a deed with the Forest Preserve District of Will County (525 East Rome Road); resolutions authorizing a concession stand license agreement; amendments related to a sewer‑lining contract; an employee health savings account incentive; inclusion of certain cash insurance payments as IMRF earnings; a letter agreement with Romeoville Professional Firefighters (IAFF Local 420); engineering services from Enterprise Engineering Inc. for a water audit and non‑revenue water reduction project; waiving bids and accepting quotes for purchases including a 2026 Ford Transit van and a remount chassis for emergency vehicles; contracts for demolition and environmental services; and approval of public improvements for a development project. The consent agenda vote carried unanimously by roll call.
Trustees did not add or pull items for separate discussion at the meeting; all listed consent agenda items were adopted as presented.
