Lombard trustees approve consent agenda, payroll and contract for emergency repairs

The Village of Lombard Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda, including payroll and accounts payable and several staff recommendations, following a motion first by Trustee Levesque and second by Trustee Bochner.

The clerk presented accounts payable and payroll totals: $864,033.78 (period ending Jan. 23, 2026), village payroll of $1,133,592.05 (period ending Jan. 24, 2026) and accounts payable of $1,330,094.10 (period ending Jan. 30, 2026). The board approved those items as part of the consent agenda.

The consent agenda also included multiple ordinances on first reading and plan commission recommendations: adjustments to liquor license classifications related to a Yorkville Tap location; declaring village equipment (AEDs, batteries, rifles with slings, file cabinets) surplus; a conditional‑use request for a learning center/indoor soccer training facility at 68 Eisenhower Lane North; text amendments to distinguish pet shops that do not offer live dogs from those that do; and proposed fence materials and central air conditioning setback changes to zoning code chapter 155. The clerk reviewed several community promotion recommendations drawn from the Community Promotion and Tourism Committee, such as a $25,000 request for the Lombard Lilac Parade (plus village service costs) and a $2,000 request from the Lombard Garden Club.

Staff also requested a waiver of bids and authorization to award a contract to John Neri Construction Company in an amount not to exceed $75,000 for FY2026 emergency water and sewer repairs; that request was included on the consent agenda approved by the board.

After the board approved the consent agenda by roll call, President Puccio moved to recess into an executive session to discuss collective negotiating matters and the acquisition of real property; the motion was seconded and the board voted to recess.
