Rivera, the village clerk, read the official results for the March 18, 2026 election and the village board voted to certify them by voice vote.
The certification followed the clerk's reading of the tallies: Paul Pereira for mayor, 221 votes; Jeffrey Clark, 224 votes (trustee); Janine Sartore, 201 votes (trustee); and Scott Fairgrieve for village justice, 217 votes. "Resolved to certify the 03/18/2026 election results," Rivera stated as the clerk read the counts.
The mayor said the work session was scheduled because it was "dictated by state law whereby we have to certify the results of yesterday's election." After the reading, Trustee Soloski moved to accept and certify the results; Trustee Casado seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote with members responding "Aye," and the mayor declared the motion carried.
The certification formalizes the election tallies read into the record and completes the board's administrative duty following the vote. Rivera thanked the board after the approval, and the mayor congratulated the officials who were elected the previous day.
The work session continued with other business and concluded the same evening.
