Board approves consent agenda, $80,000 sidewalk payment and county animal‑control agreement
Summary
The Village of New Berlin board approved the consent agenda, authorized an $80,000 first payment for the Safe Routes to Schools sidewalk project (to be paid by IDOT) and approved an animal‑control agreement with Sangamon County.
The Village of New Berlin Board approved a series of routine and project-related motions during its Oct. 16 meeting, including a consent agenda and two itemized motions that moved forward project funding and intergovernmental services.
Trustee Cindy Morris moved and Trustee Sue Spalding seconded approval of the consent agenda; the minutes record the motion as carrying with Trustees Neuman, Synder, Lokaitis, Morris, Knox and Spalding voting Yes. The board later approved a motion by Trustee Stephanie Synder, seconded by Trustee Morris, to "approve the first payment for the sidewalk project to Kenny Contractors for $80,000 to be paid by the Illinois Department of Transportation." The motion carried with all trustees recorded as Yes.
In new business, the board approved an Animal Control Agreement between New Berlin and Sangamon County. Trustee Stephen Knox moved the measure and Trustee Greg Lokaitis seconded; minutes record the motion as carried with unanimous recorded support.
The approvals advance the village's Safe Routes to Schools sidewalk project (initial contractor payment authorized) and establish county-provided animal-control services under the approved agreement. The minutes do not specify project timelines beyond the authorization or include contract terms for the animal-control agreement.
