Board approves consent agenda and ordinances on historical landmarks, decks and mobile food units
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda (bills, minutes, reports and multiple ordinances/resolutions) and later adopted ordinances excluding small uncovered decks from building coverage and defining mobile food unit rules; a contract authorization and other resolutions were included in the consent agenda.
At its June 18 meeting the Village Board approved the consent agenda and two separate ordinances later in the meeting.
Consent agenda: By roll call the board approved the consent agenda, which included vouchers and minutes; review and file of commission minutes and departmental reports; an ordinance designating certain trolley stops and a stone roadway gutter in Harrington Park as historic landmarks; an ordinance amending section 2‑108 of the village code relative to emergency interim succession of officers; a resolution authorizing submission of an application to join the Metropolitan Mayors’ Caucus EV readiness cohort; and a resolution authorizing the village manager to execute a contract with Burke LLC for designer‑led design‑build services for the Meadow/Mstead Watershed area road improvements (contract amount in the packet was unclear in the transcript and is recorded as not specified here).
Subsequent ordinances: The board later approved an ordinance amending section 10‑14 to exclude uncovered decks and their stairs from building coverage up to the first 250 square feet or 4% of lot area (whichever is greater), allowing modest decks without a variation. Trustees also approved an ordinance defining where mobile food units can operate and updating the fee schedule to allow bicycle‑conveyance units and stationary ice‑cream sales.
Votes: Roll calls were recorded for the consent agenda and the later ordinance votes; in each case recorded responses were affirmative from present trustees. No dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript.
What happens next: Staff will carry out the approved contract and implement the code changes; the trolley‑shelter signage update was tabled and will return for future discussion.
