Carol Stream board approves consent agenda, including 10-year water-reclamation contract extension and landscaping contracts
The Village of Carol Stream Board of Trustees on April 6 unanimously approved a broad consent agenda that included zoning board recommendations, professional-services and legal-services contracts, multiple ordinances and several resolutions covering water-reclamation operations, landscaping services and staffing changes.

The clerk read consent-agenda items that included:
- Plan Commission recommendations for special-use permits for vehicle storage and vehicle repair/service at locations including 505 East North Avenue (First Student) and 250 Northshale Road (Glenbard Township High School District 87).
- Approval of a professional-services/independent-contractor agreement with BNF Construction Code Services for an amount not to exceed $70,000 in fiscal year 2026-27.
- Approval of a three-year legal services agreement with the Law Office of Michelle L. Moore Ltd., with an option to extend through April 30, 2031.
- Ordinance 2026-04-17 amending code chapters related to building fees and securities to align with the village's building-code consultant fee schedule; Ordinance 2026-04-18 and Ordinance 2026-04-19 (special-use permits) were read as recommended by the Plan Commission.
- Resolution 3465: amended and restated 10-year agreement with Operations Management International, Inc. (Jacobs) for operations, maintenance and management services of the Water Reclamation Center, term May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2036.
- Resolution 3466 and 3467: extensions to contracts with Prime Landscaping Group LLC for FY27 mowing and plant-bed maintenance of village properties (amounts noted in the reading as $63,371.90 for mowing and $30,746.30 for plant-bed maintenance for May 1, 2026'April 30, 2027).
- Resolution 3468: declaring designated water-reclamation center equipment surplus and authorizing disposal through auction.
- Resolution 3469: amendment to the 2026-27 employee compensation plan creating a GIS analyst position.

Trustee McCarthy moved to place the items on the consent agenda; Trustee Zale seconded. The board then approved the consent agenda by roll-call vote with all trustees present voting in the affirmative. (speakers: Clerk; Trusty McCarthy; Trusty Zale)

Why it matters: The approvals formalize multi-year contracts and budgeted professional services that affect village operations, including a decade-long agreement for water-reclamation operations and near-term landscaping and maintenance contracts. The creation of a GIS analyst position was included as an amendment to the employee compensation plan.

Next steps: Contracts will be executed as authorized; staff will implement the newly authorized services and the water-reclamation agreement will commence May 1, 2026.
