Lindenhurst approves intergovernmental agreement with Lake Villa Fire Protection District for space-needs study

The Lindenhurst Village Board voted to execute an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Lake Villa Fire Protection District to share consultant services for a space needs assessment.

Under the agreement approved Nov. 24, the Village will serve as project lead and the fire protection district will contribute up to 30% of the study cost. The IGA formalizes cost sharing for consultant services and establishes roles and responsibilities for the joint analysis.

Trustee Patty Chybowski made the motion to approve the agreement; Trustee Dawn Suchy seconded. A roll call vote recorded ayes from Trustees Pat Dickson, Pat Dunham, Patty Chybowski, Dawn Suchy, Heath Rosten and Ron Grace, with no nays. The motion carried 6-0.

The minutes do not list an estimated total cost for the study or a project timeline; the IGA was described in the packet as a shared consulting arrangement. Further implementation steps, including consultant selection and a project schedule, were not recorded in the minutes and may require future board or committee action.
