Villa Park — The Village of Villa Park Board of Trustees approved a series of routine and substantive measures at its April 27 meeting, including capital work, personnel agreements and planning directives.
Key outcomes
- Consent agenda: The board approved minutes from April 13, 2026, and bill listings totaling $830,642.76 (week of April 13) and $11,697.40 (April 20). (Motion and roll-call approval.)
- Terrace alley rebuild (Resolution 14A): Trustees awarded the construction contract to Nardulli Construction Company (Chicago) for the low bid of $146,291.75 to rebuild the terrace alley between Princeton and Ardmore; staff said six bids were received. (Motion and roll-call approval.)
- PRMS participation (Ordinance 13C / letter of intent): The board authorized the village president to execute a letter of intent for continued participation in the DuPage Police Records Management System; staff said the PRMS committee is preparing to award a contract to Mark43 and requested the LOI to finalize pricing, with an April 30, 2026 deadline.
- Zoning variances (13A, 13B): The board approved two zoning-variation ordinances: ZBA-26-02 permitting a gazebo 2.3 ft from a residence at 160 Northville Avenue (recommended 7–0 by the ZBA) and ZBA-26-04 allowing a 10 foot-candle reading at a property line for 1110 South Villa Avenue (ZBA recommended 7–0). Both passed on roll-call votes.
- Labor MOU (Resolution 14B): Approved a memorandum of understanding with AFSCME Council 31, Local 964 to set pay scale and limits for part-time custodians at the recreation center; staff clarified state "time off for all" rules apply to permanent part-time staff.
- Separation agreement (Resolution 14C): The board approved a separation agreement with Dan McCann (terms not discussed in open session).
- Recreation planning (Motion 16A): The board directed the Community Recreation Commission to begin planning for a Jefferson Pool replacement following a 5–0 CRC recommendation; trustees discussed funding options, including applying cannabis tax allocations to a pool fund and pursuing grants.
- Liquor-code amendments (Motion 16B): Trustees voted to forward a set of proposed liquor-code changes — addressing ownership/transfer scenarios, gaming advertising, age‑restricted access, and sweepstakes machines among other items — to the local Liquor Control Commission for review; the village attorney will prepare a memo summarizing the board’s concerns and proposed topics.
What trustees and staff emphasized: Manager Rivas and the village attorney framed the PRMS LOI as time‑sensitive for system pricing; staff described the alley project as competitively bid; trustees asked staff and commissions to continue reviewing code and ordinance language and to pursue grants and alternate pool funding where possible.
Next steps: Many items will move to implementation or secondary review — the PRMS LOI will be executed to hold pricing, the engineer/contractor will proceed on the alley rebuild, the CRC will begin pool planning, and the Liquor Control Commission will review recommended code changes.
