Summary
Trustees adopted the FY27 budget and five‑year capital plan totaling $87,989,370, awarded the village portion of a roadway contract to Peter Baker & Sons Co. for $1,126,266.90, authorized several purchase orders and budget amendments, and approved revisions to the village fee schedule including updated water and sewer rates.
The Village of Mundelein Board of Trustees approved the Fiscal Year 2027 annual budget and five‑year capital improvement plan totaling $87,989,370 during its April 13 meeting and approved multiple related procurement and fee actions.
Trustee Schwenk moved to adopt the FY27 budget and capital plan, and trustees passed the measure by roll call. In the same meeting the board approved a resolution to close and consolidate several funds and authorized payment of governing body bills totaling $1,324,493.41.
Public Works and Engineering items included approval of a purchase order to Baxter & Woodman for $19,500 and the award of the village portion of the FY26–27 Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) roadway improvement contract to Peter Baker & Sons Co., the lowest responsive bidder, in the amount of $1,126,266.90. The board also approved a $68,490 contract with Guelph Hamilton Associates for construction observation and adopted an ordinance creating an engineering land‑disturbance review fee tied to disturbed square footage and corresponding fee‑schedule updates.
Trustees authorized budget amendments for water meters ($22,000) and annual testing of village‑owned large commercial water heaters ($10,000). Later in the meeting the board approved an ordinance revising the village fee schedule to reflect updated water and sewer rates and building permit/development fees.
Trustee Schwenk framed the budget and fund consolidations as continuations of earlier budget discussions; the board did not debate the overall budget amount in detail during this session. The meeting record does not include a full breakdown of every project funded by the capital plan or a timetable for implementation.
