Garden Village Commission meeting in Villa Park postponed because of extreme heat

Pete Soltes, chairman of the Garden Village Commission, told attendees the commission would postpone the scheduled meeting because of dangerous heat and air conditions. "Due to the blistering hot weather and the condition in the air that we're breathing tonight and its impact on our fellow board members, we're going to attempt to reschedule this evening's meeting for next week to hold a special meeting," Soltes said.

The announcement came as a precaution after Soltes cited the immediate impact of the weather on commissioners. He closed by asking residents to "stay tuned," and said the commission looks forward to continuing to serve the village of Villa Park. No motions or formal votes were recorded in the transcript; the commission said it will notify the public of the new meeting date when it is set.
