Sleepy Hollow board approves $159,978.32 in payables, clears Dunkin' sign package

The Sleepy Hollow Village Board unanimously approved $159,978.32 in accounts payables and authorized sign faces and a menu board for a Dunkin' Donuts at 1051 West Main at its meeting.

Eugene, the village administrator, presented the accounts-payable batch and Trustee Hoff moved to approve it; Trustee Thomas seconded. A roll-call vote produced unanimous 'aye' votes and Chair noted, "All in favor, no opposition." The board also approved replacing the monument sign and directional signs and accepted the recently installed digital menu board; the board declined to allow an additional facade cup sign that had been withdrawn because it is not permitted under the village's zoning special-use conditions.

Bill Zazokos read a short civility pledge at the start of the meeting committing members to respectful discussion and listening to different ideas. The chair summarized that the finance committee had a long session on the water-main project and on possible salary increases for police and staff, and asked staff to follow up with details in January.

On procedural matters, the board approved the regular meeting minutes and voted to move into a brief executive session at the end of the evening; the chair said there would be no further action items after that session.

Looking ahead, trustees discussed several follow-ups: staff will circulate detailed finance-committee materials and a project-prioritization spreadsheet for infrastructure; park-district representatives will be invited to present on pool and recreation capital planning; and the village will continue to monitor permit-processing issues with its partner inspector.
