Warrenville council defers ordinance 6B to Aug. 18, approves consent agenda and highlights National Night Out fundraiser

The Warrenville City Council on Aug. 4 approved its agenda as amended, deferring ordinance item 6B to the Aug. 18 council meeting, and then approved an 11-item consent agenda that included three ordinances, a resolution and several finance reports.

Deputy Chief Jacobson asked the council to remove item 6B from the Aug. 4 agenda and place it on the Aug. 18 agenda so staff could finalize ordinance language after committee recommendations; the council agreed and approved the agenda as amended on a voice/roll-call vote. The transcript records all present aldermen voting in the affirmative and the motion carrying.

The consent agenda, read aloud by the clerk, contained (as read) ordinance 02025-33 (donation-bin licensing and fees), ordinance 02025-35 (special-use permits/variance for a truck and construction repair shop at 3S286 Talbot Avenue), ordinance 02025-36 (special-use and variations for a warehouse development at 3 S. 140 Talbot Avenue), and resolution R205-48 (minor amendment to the 4200 Canara Drive mini-warehouse PUD for a three-story addition). The consent list also included plan-commission and police-pension minutes, draft plan-commission minutes from July meetings, invoices paid through July 30, 2025, authorization of expenditures due by Aug. 18, 2025, Chase commercial-card expenditures for July 2025, and the July 2025 wire-transfers report. Council approved the consent agenda on roll call with all present members voting 'I.'

Staff announcements and community events: Jacobson said dunk-tank proceeds benefit the Illinois Special Olympics and recognized Josh Perry (animal control officer) for organizing the National Night Out activities at Cerny Park, which would run roughly 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and include about 65 booths. Mayor Johnson also reported attending an EV Ready Communities awards presentation at IIT and thanked code-enforcement and public-works staff.

Director Dalstren flagged a billing issue: duplicate listings on recent bill runs were due to meter-name errors (the museum has two meters that had been misattributed to another business); staff said they will correct descriptions on future bill runs.

The meeting proceeded to approve minutes from July 21 and July 28 and then adjourned after routine new-business discussion. No substantive ordinance debate or final vote on item 6B occurred; the ordinance was rescheduled to Aug. 18 so staff could finalize recommended language.

The council did not schedule a closed session and adjourned after the business described above.
