Residents press board on mayoral car rumor, flooding, blight and local programs
Summary
Public commenters asked whether the village purchased a car for the mayor, raised concerns about flooding and street conditions, requested code-enforcement action for property blight, and offered community-service proposals including a chess academy and local nonprofit support.
Multiple residents spoke during the public‑comment period about local concerns and community programs. Connie Lundin asked directly about social‑media posts suggesting the purchase of a car for the mayor; Mayor Joyce denied buying a new vehicle and invited residents to contact him directly. Nancy Galbreath complained about a pop‑up camper and excessive cars at a residence and Mayor Joyce instructed Ordinance Officer Paul Myers to address the complaints.
Other speakers included Tom and Kristy Schnepf representing Angels on Assignment, who asked the village to post their assistance program information; David McNeil and Will Barr urged action on storm‑damaged streets and problematic parking; Arturo Saenz said he plans to open a Chess Academy for children in Steger; and Jim Moore of Secure View asked to schedule a presentation about surveillance upgrades for municipal facilities. Mayor Joyce and staff committed to follow-up or directed specific staff to address complaints.
