Summary

Public Works Director Ranieri told trustees the DesPlaines Avenue Street Lighting Project is on hold while the village waits for easement agreements; once easements are secured new fixtures will be installed and old lighting removed.

Trustee Tricoci asked about the completion timeline for the DesPlaines Avenue Street Lighting Project. Public Works Director Ranieri said the village is waiting for easement agreements, "which are taking longer than expected," and added that "once the agreements are in place, the rest of the new light fixtures can be installed and the old lighting removed."

The board recorded no specific completion date. Trustee Tricoci also used his report time to remind residents about garbage rules: do not place trash at the curb until the night before pick-up and call Lakeshore to schedule special pick-up for large items such as mattresses.

The minutes indicate staff-level dependency on private-property easement agreements; no additional funding or schedule was recorded at the March 2 meeting.
