Bloomingdale council approves vendor payments, adopts 2026 millage rates and OKs Oktoberfest street closures
Summary
At its May 19 meeting the Bloomingdale Village Council approved multiple vendor payments, adopted 2026 property tax millage rates (L-4029 submission authorized), and approved the Bloomingdale Oktoberfest permit and street closures for September 18–19, 2026.
The Bloomingdale Village Council on May 19 approved a set of vendor payments and three resolutions, including adoption of 2026 property tax millage rates and authorization to submit form L-4029, and granted a permit and street closures for the Bloomingdale Oktoberfest on Sept. 18–19.
Council voted to approve vendor payments listed on the agenda: Roy’s Computer Repair ($75.00); Reith‑Riley ($66,355.53) for Rumery and Oak Street work (the council noted this was under the original estimate); Pillar Manufacturing ($117.32); Fleis & VandenBrink ($407.40) for engineering services; and Fishbeck ($337.50) for depot‑related engineering work. Motions to approve each payment were made and seconded by council members and recorded as passing on a roll‑call vote described in the transcript as “Roll‑Yes. Motion carried.” Individual roll‑call tallies were not specified in the meeting record.
The council adopted Resolution No. 2026‑1 establishing miscellaneous user fees and Resolution No. 2026‑2 establishing the 2026 property tax millage rates and authorizing submission of form L‑4029. The actions were recorded as motions and carried; the transcript does not list individual yea/nay vote tallies. Council also recorded support for National Bike to Work Week (Resolution No. 2026‑3).
On event permitting, Councilor T. Rankin moved, with support from J. Crawford, to approve the Bloomingdale Oktoberfest at Augustus Haven Park on Sept. 18–19 and the partial closure of Spring Street and Oak Street for the event; the motion carried on the roll call vote noted above.
Why it matters: the millage resolution sets the tax rates the village will submit to the county (through form L‑4029) and the approved vendor payments and event permit commit village funds and public space for maintenance, infrastructure and community programming. The record shows these were routine approvals on the consent/new‑business portions of the agenda.
