Glendale Heights board approves $5.5M consent agenda, waives first reading and adopts conditional‑use ordinance for indoor amusement at 91 E. North Ave.
Summary
The village board approved the consent agenda (accounts payable not to exceed $5,535,678.33), waived the first reading for Item 2 and adopted Ordinance 2026‑47 to permit a conditional use for an indoor amusement facility at 91 E. North Avenue; staff said the business owner will be responsible for sanitation and DuPage County Health handles food‑related health oversight, and the venue name and building permit were not yet submitted.
The Glendale Heights village board voted July 16 to approve a multi‑item consent agenda that included payroll ratifications, minutes approvals and an accounts payable listing with a total not to exceed $5,535,678.33.
Trustee Schmidt moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion passed on a roll call with all recorded votes indicated as yes.
The board then voted to waive the first reading for new business Item 2. Trustees Maritato and Light moved and seconded that procedural motion, which the board approved on roll call.
With the first reading waived, the board considered Ordinance 2026‑47, an ordinance to approve an application for a conditional use to permit an indoor amusement facility in a C‑2 community commercial district at 91 East North Avenue. The ordinance number was read into the record and a motion to adopt was made and seconded.
During discussion Trustee Schmidt asked who would be responsible for maintaining sanitary conditions at the facility. Jason Enberg, director of community development, said the owner of the business would be responsible for routine cleanliness and business license compliance; food‑related health matters would fall under DuPage County Health and the village could conduct business license inspections if complaints arose. Trustees asked whether the company or venue had submitted a building permit or public name; staff said the operator has formed an LLC but the venue name and the building permit had not yet been submitted.
Ordinance 2026‑47 was adopted on roll call.
After adopting the ordinance the board opened public comment (none was offered) and then voted to adjourn to executive session to discuss the purchase of real property pursuant to the Illinois Open Meetings Act (5 ILCS 120/2(c)(5)).
