At its April 21 meeting, the Fox River Grove Village Board approved a bundled consent agenda of minutes, accounts payable, appointments, two ordinances and several professional and construction agreements by a roll-call vote and later voted to send the Block B rezoning and planned unit development to ordinance drafting.
Trustee Migdal moved to approve the consent agenda (items A–I), and Trustee Knar seconded. Roll call on the consent agenda recorded Trustees Curtiss, Hester, Knar, Migdal and Wall voting yes and Trustee David Joseph voting no; the motion passed. The consent agenda included:
- Village Board meeting minutes, March 31, 2026 (approval); - Accounts payable for April 7 and April 21, 2026 (approval); - Appointments to staff, Planning & Zoning and Police Pension boards (not specified in transcript); - Ordinance 2026-08, adopting the FY 2026/27 budget (approved via consent agenda); - Ordinance 2026-09, water and sewer rate adjustment (approved via consent agenda); - Design engineering services agreement for the 2026 Sidewalk Program (approval); - Award of contract for 2026 Sidewalk and Lions Park improvements (approval); - Construction engineering services agreement for the 2026 Sidewalk and Lions Park improvements (approval); - Intergovernmental agreement with Algonquin Township for North Road resurfacing (approval).
The transcript does not provide vote tallies for each consent item separately; the board approved them en bloc. Later in the meeting, after developer presentations and Q&A on Block B, the board voted by voice to direct staff to prepare an ordinance to rezone and grant a special use for the Block B PUD (Zoning Case 2026-03); the voice vote was recorded as unanimous.
The board adjourned to an executive session to discuss property purchase/sale, pending and imminent litigation, and personnel, and reconvened and adjourned the public meeting later that evening.
