The board approved several operational resolutions in the meeting.
Agreement with Test Incorporated: Trustees approved Resolution 20260319R4 to continue an agreement with Test Incorporated to provide certified water and wastewater operator services required by the Illinois EPA. The board described the firm as providing "the best bang for our buck" and voted in favor by roll call.
Road salt intergovernmental agreement: Trustees approved an intergovernmental agreement with DeKalb County that allows the village to purchase road salt through county purchasing as needed; the village currently stores one ordered truckload with the township and does not need immediate purchases this season.
Cherokee Street bid authorization: The board approved Resolution 20260319R3 to go out for bids to repair Cherokee Street.
Why it matters: These votes secure required operational services and procurement options for public-works needs and put a street-repair project into the procurement pipeline.
What’s next: Staff will finalize contract paperwork with Test Incorporated, coordinate with the county for salt purchases if needed, and publish a bid solicitation for Cherokee Street repairs.
