Trustees at a special meeting approved two warrant batches totaling $2,186,701.11 and a separate April peak‑hours payment of $30,963.92, and passed a consent‑agenda license agreement with the Hinckley Park Park District.
The board first accepted the consent agenda by unanimous voice vote; the consent items included a license agreement with the Hinckley Park Park District for use of its property. The meeting record shows trustees then approved Warrant 69 (2026) in the amount of $1,281,480.28 by roll call. The clerk recorded 'Yes' votes from Trustee Bragado‑Lino, Trustee Benkendorf, Trustee Porter, Trustee Kunkel, Trustee Albaugh and Trustee Gutierrez.
The board next approved warrant payments listed as 514 (2026) through 62 (2026) totaling $905,220.83. The clerk’s roll call again recorded six 'Yes' votes (Benkendorf, Porter, Kunkel, Albaugh, Gutierrez, Bragado‑Lino). Later, trustees approved payment for April 2026 peak hours in the amount of $30,963.92 by roll call; the transcript records six 'Yes' responses in that vote, though several trustee surnames appear with variant spellings in the roll‑call lines (see audit for details).
The meeting opened a town‑hall/public‑comment period but no members of the public signed up to speak. After the financial votes, the board moved to enter an executive session to discuss personnel (see separate article).
The motions recorded in the meeting minutes carry standard procedural approvals for disbursing funds; the transcript does not include detailed line‑item explanations of the warrants or vendors. The board indicated it would retire to the closed session and return to close the meeting afterward.
