At the June 15 meeting the board approved routine minutes, financial reports and a multi-item consent agenda that includes a right-of-way vacation and final plat for Park 90; village engineer reported Park 90 underground work is complete and remaining work is paving and restoration.
The Machesney Park Board of Trustees on June 15 approved routine meeting business and a consent agenda that includes a right-of-way vacation, the final plat for the Park 90 subdivision, a funding acceptance agreement for a carbon reduction program award, a zoning variance for an accessory building, and an amendment to caterer liquor license rules.
Trustee Stroberg moved to approve minutes of the June 1 meeting; Trustee Cypes seconded and the minutes were approved. The board also voted to accept the treasurer’s report, which Treasurer Deb reported shows total funds of $57,790,515.72 as of June 8, 2026, and to approve the administration finance committee’s warrant presented for payment. (The meeting record contains an unclear reading of the warrant amount; the transcript’s numeric text was not legible.)
Village Engineer Chris Hopkins told the board Park 90’s underground work is finished, with remaining tasks including paving, pavement markings and restoration; he said the contractor poured curb and gutter and the village expects final paving work in the next couple of weeks. On the Stones Landing project, Hopkins said erosion control is installed and crews are addressing minor storm sewer issues before the next phase of work.
Deputy Chief Josh Kessner reported public-safety activity for May, saying deputies conducted 430 traffic stops and handled 156 calls. Trustees reported committee activity: the public improvement and safety committee recommended three resolutions forward and the administration finance committee indicated resolutions 49 and 50R26 will go to the July 6 meeting with positive recommendations.
The village administrator presented five consent-agenda items (10.1–10.5). No trustee asked to remove items for separate consideration; Trustee Cypes moved to adopt the consent agenda and Trustee Stroberg seconded. By roll call the board approved the consent agenda.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that passed by voice vote. No public comments were recorded.
