Summary
The Village of Lombard Board of Trustees on Feb. 19 approved its consent agenda including payroll and accounts-payable items, contracts for water and sewer supplies, the 2026 zoning map (first reading) and a village-manager employment agreement on the consent docket; trustees heard a Public Works committee report and were introduced to new assistant director Ray Hoving.
The Village of Lombard Board of Trustees on Feb. 19 approved the meeting consent agenda and heard several routine reports and introductions.
The clerk read consent-agenda financial items totaling multimillion-dollar disbursements for the cited pay periods, including accounts payable amounts of $2,574,497.98 (period ending Feb. 6, 2026) and $1,527,005.10 (period ending Feb. 13, 2026), and village payroll of $1,040,793.89 (period ending Jan. 25, 2026). The board approved the consent agenda by roll call after a motion from Trustee Levesque and a second from Trustee Militello; the clerk recorded ayes from the trustees present.
Consent-agenda business included ordinances on first reading: adoption of the 2026 official zoning map (a graphic summary of prior zoning actions) and proposed building-code amendments to Title 15 Chapter 150 to establish minimum fence post-hole depths, adjust fence-permit and renewal fees and revise residential sprinkler requirements. The plan commission transmitted a conditional-use petition for 68 Eisenhower Lane North for a learning center/indoor soccer training facility and recommended text amendments to distinguish pet shops that do and do not sell live dogs and to update use classifications. Additional proposed zoning-code amendments addressed fence materials and air-conditioner setback rules for single-family residential properties.
Resolutions on the consent docket included a proposed employment agreement for Nicole Aranas as village manager effective June 19, 2026, and authorization for the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Cooperative to serve as the village's broker to solicit electricity-provider bids and allow village staff to approve the lowest-cost contract. The board also approved one-time purchase contracts for water and sewer supplies to Water Product Company of Aurora, Illinois (not to exceed $78,895.03) and to MidAmerican Water of Wakanda, Illinois (not to exceed $81,201.55), and acknowledged the Lombard Historic Preservation Commission's 2025 annual report. The strategic plan (2026–2029) was included on the consent docket for approval.
Trustee Bochner (Public Works and Environmental Concerns Committee) reported the committee's Feb. 10 meeting, noting a demonstration of an urban SDK traffic-analysis program, an update on the tree-planting program (the village plans to plant 422 trees in 2026), and discussions of committee roles and upcoming road-work programs (2026 concrete restoration, 2026 asphalt resurfacing and a 2027 North Main Street resurfacing update). The board also heard a brief personnel introduction: Ray Hoving was introduced as the village's new assistant director of public works; trustees welcomed him back to village service and noted his earlier tenure as an engineer with the village (2014–2018) and most recent work at the Salt Creek Sanitary District.
The board adjourned after a motion from Trustee Egan and a second from Trustee Bochner; the clerk called the roll and recorded ayes.
