Village Board of Trustees - Regular Meeting

Good evening, everybody. I'd like to call this meeting to order. This is the Village Board of Arlingtonites for the date of July 6th, 2026. And as I call this meeting to order, the first order of business is the Pledge of Allegiance. So if you please all rise and join the board.

So, for the sake of a certain soccer team, I'm going to try and move this meeting along as quickly as possible, just with the hope that we might be able to catch a few minutes of it, but maybe not. So, pardon me if I sound like I'm rushing. I'm just doing what I can to move through it. The first, well, I shouldn't say the first, second order of business is roll call.

Here. Thank you, Maggie. And after that, the approval of minutes, we have one set of minutes from June 15th, 2026. Are there any... ANY TRUSTEES THAT NEED TO PASS OR REFRAIN FROM VOTING ON THIS? IF NOT, ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, CHANGES? ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HAS ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THE MINUTES? IF NOT, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE?

MOTION BY TRUSTEE LABETTE, SECONDED BY TRUSTEE ZICK. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NO ONE IN THE AUDIENCE AGAIN? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. Any opposed? None. Motion carries. We'll move on to accounts payable. And for that, I'll call on Trustee Bertucci.

Thank you, Mayor. I'll move approval of the warrant register for the check date June 30th, 2026 in the amount of $5,486,826.25. Second.

Motion made by Trustee Bertucci, seconded by Trustee Schwingbeck. Are there any comments or questions from anyone on the board or anyone in the audience? Seeing none, this is a roll call vote. Maggie, please.

Yes. Very good. Motion carries. There are no recognitions or communications, correct, Manager Reckless? Correct. And no public hearings. So we'll go right into citizens to be heard. And I do have two blue cards. This is for items that are not on the agenda tonight. I have two blue cards here for any topic. We'll call on them. If you are here and want to speak on a subject matter that's not on the agenda, raise your hand. I'll call on you after these two. So the first one is Devin Gray. Devin, come on up. I'm sorry.

Thank you. Thanks, Devin. Next, Cheryl. Cheryl Brown, come on up.

Mayor, would it be possible to get staff to just make some comments about the communication and also the enforcement as of July 1st?

Why don't we do this? Manager Ratcliffe, I know you and I have had a number of conversations about this, the status of this and where it is and where it's going. Maybe it would be a good idea to give a quick update.

Very well. Does that answer your question?

If not, thank you, Manager Radcliffe. We're going to move on. The next section, well, let's continue with Citizens Be Heard. I mentioned it before. If there's someone in the audience that wants to raise their hand, it's okay. Come on up, introduce yourself. Go ahead.

Go ahead and speak right into that microphone so we can hear you clearly.

You're very welcome. And I think maybe I owe an apology for if it sounded like that I think would be silly to listen to a resident. That was not my intent. Of course, we, I think all nine of us up here, one of our main goals always is to be good listeners for the residents and the businesses in town. The way I would have hoped that would have been interpreted is that at this time, there's not a lot to discuss and share because right now they're focusing on Hammond, Indiana. And while some folks think that that's maybe not accurate or true or maybe it's just some sort of a smokescreen, it's all

Share it with our village clerk and we'll make sure we get it.

Anyone else in the audience under citizens to be heard for a topic not on the agenda? I don't see any additional hands, so we're gonna move on. And the next item is the consent agenda. Consent agenda consists of items A through R, and these are items that will be voted on with one vote. Is there anyone on the board that wishes to vote no on a certain item or pass on a certain item?

YES, MR. MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER A NO VOTE ON ITEM C, RESOLUTION FURTHER EXTENDING THE TERM OF SIGN VARIATIONS FOR AN ELECTRONIC BILLBOARD SIGN AT 2200 WEST EUCLID AVENUE.

OKAY. TRUSTEE MANGINERO IS GOING TO REGISTER A VOTE NO ON ITEM C. ANYONE ELSE VOTING NO OR PASSING ON ANY OF THE ITEMS A THROUGH R?

We'll give you that in a second Sure, is there anyone on the board that wishes to remove an item on this agenda for a specific? Conversation about it and voting separately. Is there anyone in the audience who would ask for a trustee to remove an item between a and R?

Okay, I didn't get any hands or any questions from anybody further, so I guess it's a roll call vote here.

Second. All right, motion made by Trustee LeBed, second by Trustee Zik. Now the roll call vote.

YES. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO THAT IS CONCLUDED. AND NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS. AND WE HAVE ITEMS A THROUGH F ON HERE. WE'RE GOING TO START OFF WITH A COUPLE OF APPOINTMENTS RIGHT OFF THE BAT. HENRY, WHERE ARE YOU? COME ON UP. THERE WAS A MOTION EARLIER TODAY AND I DIDN'T BRING MY NOTE HERE WITH ME. WHO MADE THE ORIGINAL MOTION?

I WILL MOVE AS I DID EARLIER. THERE YOU GO. to concur in the Mayor's appointment of Henry Beardsley to the Arts Commission with a term ending April 30th, 2027. Second.

Motion made by Trustee Manganiello, seconded by Trustee LeBes. Is there any further discussion or comment from anyone on the board? Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye. None opposed? None. You are it. Henry, I'm gonna read you your oath and all you have to do is repeat after me.

In the County of Cook. In the County of Cook. Do solemnly swear and affirm.

And the Constitution of the State of Illinois. And that I will faithfully discharge the duties.

Of the office according to the best of my ability.

Take this over to Maggie and sign it in front of her. And then this is your pen to wear proudly with the rest of us. Thank you.

Next is David Jaffe. David, come on up. And I'd like to call on Trustee Gilbert.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I would like to make a motion to concur with the appointment of David Jaffe to the Arlington Economic Alliance, term ending April 30th, 2027. Second.

Motion made by Trustee Gilbert, second by Trustee Bertucci. Any further comments or questions from anyone on the board? Anyone in the audience? We have a motion made and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? None. Surprisingly, you've been approved. All right. You get to do the same drill here, David. Excellent. Repeat after me. Aye, David Jaffe. Aye, David Jaffe. Having been appointed to the office of Arlington Economic Alliance.

It is the Arlington Economic Alliance in the village of Arlington Heights. In the village of Arlington Heights. In the county of Cook.

That I will support the Constitution of the United States. That I will. Support the Constitution of the United States. And the Constitution of the State of Illinois.

And if you take this over to Maggie and sign that in front of her, and there's your pen to wear, appreciate it.

Thank you. Congratulations. Good job. Congratulations.

That's really like the hardest thing all these guys have to do is repeat after the mayor. It's craziness. All right, we're on to item C. And I think we're gonna call on our village manager, Reklaus, to explain what is up for item C. Thank you, Mayor.

And just for the sake of everyone's edification, can you share real briefly the difference between what Attorney Passman does versus what Attorney Boomklist used to do?

And for the past 48 years, Mr. Blomquist had been doing that? All right. Very good. So that's your recommendation tonight. Yes. And we need a motion from the village board to accept that? Yes. All right. Is there such a motion from someone?

Mayor, I would gladly make a motion to approve Elizabeth Hatzman as the next village prosecutor. Second. Second.

All right, motion is made by Trustee Bertucci, seconded by Trustee Schwingbeck.

All right, so you're concurring in my appointment. I'm concurring in your appointment, Mayor. Okay, any other dialogue? The only other thing I would like to say is I've known Liz for decades, and I think she has been making a wonderful prosecutor, often in Ernie's absence, and have all the faith in the world in her to continue that.

Very good. That's tough to, that's pretty good. Tough to beat. All right. We have a motion and a second. Is there any further dialogue from anyone? Anyone in the audience? If not, is this a roll call vote? It could be either way, Mayor. Let's do a roll call vote, if you don't mind.

Yes. Congratulations. Thank you. We hope it all goes swimmingly from this point forward for you.

We're going to move on to item D and that is chapter 30 sign code amendments. And again, this is some work that staff has done to update our ordinances to a degree. So we'll let staff explain this one for us.

Very good. Thanks, Ms. Rodman. This is all very well presented. Does anyone on the board have any questions on any of these three topics? Trustee Levitz.

Motion made by Trustee LeBed, seconded by Trustee Santamaria. Question, Trustee Zik.

Thank you, Mayor. Mr. Chairman, yeah, thank you very much. This is exactly the type of thing that we've been talking about for a while, trying to make it much easier for businesses and their community to be able to move forward a lot quicker with certain things. And this is right along that line. And also, I'm sure for, I'm guessing for your team, too, it makes it a lot easier. We don't have to keep going back and forth also. So I think this is one of those. proverbial win-wins for a lot of people. Two questions that I do ask, and one of them is picky, I get it. But the first one, all the item

Okay. But then as far as the menu signs and the lighting and all that kind of stuff going to the message signs, that they don't have to come as long as they're meeting those? A lot of those probably didn't even need to come here. It wouldn't have to come here.

Okay, good. It's great to hear. And then the last one. When I saw the formula, you know, for the operational standards for wanting to know the lumens, the foot candles, you know, and everything I saw on that. I'm guessing, though, and that's the concern that I think probably somebody would have is saying, oh, my gosh, are we going to be allowing, like, all these signs, all these bright signs in here? That seems like a really good formula, but this is probably something that... that the only time that we're probably going to have to even challenge this is somebody's going to have to make a comp

But I'm guessing this is the type of information when it comes to the design commission. when they look at it to your team, or it actually wouldn't go to the design commission, to your team, they would look at it and say, okay, it's within this range. It's within the correct measurements.

Yes, okay. I didn't word that right, but that's where I was getting to. Thank you. Anyone else?

All right, seeing none, so we have a motion and a second. Anyone in the audience have any questions or comments on this? If not, I think, is a roll call vote again for this new business?

All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? None. Motion carries. So staff will go forward with that. And then next on the agenda is item E, and that is 660 North Ridge Avenue, Arlington Ridge Center, which is a PUD amendment and variation. And the petitioner is here, I see. Come on up, introduce yourself, please, and give us a brief description of why you're here.

Very good. Staff, is there a report that you want to share with us as well?

Thank you, Ms. Rodman. As a petitioner, do you accept these requirements, conditions of approval? All right, very good. I think you can have a seat for a minute here. We have two blue cards. I want to get right away out to the audience here, and then we'll come back to the board. The first is Carmela. Carmela, is it Carmela Dapper? After Carmela will be Susan Emery.

All right. Thank you, Carmela. Appreciate your input. And Susan.

Mayor, while Susan's coming up, Ms. Rodman, would you mind putting that map back up? Thanks.

All right. Well, I think what I'd like to do is turn it over to the board here now, unless there's someone else. I don't have any other blue cards from the audience on this particular topic. So we'll turn it back over to the board. But before we do that, I think it should be noted that the Park District has its own elected group of officials that make decisions for all the park properties. And in my opinion, more than a dozen years of being an elected trustee and now the mayor, I don't think I've ever, maybe Robin you can help me, there's never been a time where we've weighed in on the locatio

You know, it's really these things are left up to the park board and the park district staff to do. This is kind of an unusual, you know, anomaly that we're talking about swings here on this project. Staff, can you give us a brief, Randy, maybe an explanation of why this is before us tonight in this particular environment?

And that's all with goodwill. I appreciate that very much. I would hate to get into the business of us telling the park district how to do their parks. Just like we don't tell the library how to do the library. They have their own board, their own elected officials, their own staff. So to me, their swings, I would prefer, in my opinion, to leave it up to them to decide where to put it. And again, if it's going to be a nuisance, then they'll work that out with their neighbors and the people who come in and complain. it's really not something that I feel like we should be weighing in on too terr

THANK YOU. I CONCUR WITH WHAT THE MAYOR I CONCUR WITH WHAT THE MAYOR INDICATED EARLIER THAT THE INDICATED EARLIER THAT THE PLACEMENT OF THESE THINGS ON THE PLACEMENT OF THESE THINGS ON THE PARKS IS NOT NECESSARILY IN MY PARKS IS NOT NECESSARILY IN MY OPINION FOR US TO DECIDE. OPINION FOR US TO DECIDE. I DO APPLAUD THE PARK DISTRICT I DO APPLAUD THE PARK DISTRICT FOR CLEARLY THESE SWINGS WERE FOR CLEARLY THESE SWINGS WERE MEANT TO BE REMOVED IN THE MEANT TO BE REMOVED IN THE INITIAL PLAN BUT THEY LISTENED INITIAL PLAN BUT THEY LISTENED AND THEY HEARD THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND THEY HEARD THEIR CONS

Can you have the screen, please? Because that was a long one. Yes. I'll make a motion to direct staff and the village attorney to prepare final documents granting the zoning relief for consideration at a future board meeting for PC number 26-011, subject to the recommended condition. All is set forth in the agenda for tonight's board meeting. Motion made by Trustee Gilbert.

Is there a second? Second. Second by Trustee Schwingbeck. Mayor, I do have just a comment I'd like to make.

Go right ahead. So I know as we've said, The Park District Board certainly makes these decisions. You had just a comment, and I guess I'm not looking for an answer, but you've had a couple of residents that have taken the time to come and speak to us this evening. I don't know if they've... come to the Park District board meeting to make those similar requests. I'm looking at that map. It looks like these are about as far away from Park District activities as you can get. And I know, John, you made a comment earlier that you had heard from some residents that wanted the swings. I don't know if

Others, Trustee Zik. Yeah, thank you, Mayor. Could you go to the recommendations slide? Okay, so all we're really, and I agree with everything that's been said here, only thing we're really voting out of this change is the POD is really the variation to waive the requirement for parking analysis. That's ultimately what it's coming down to. The other items, like the five shade trees, I think you said that that was already in our code, that when we remove the one tree, we have to go up to the, they have to be replaced with five. Is that correct?

So we're ultimately, we're ultimately not, they're asking to put more swings in, and we're, deciding whether or not to allow that to put more swings in?

So we are making a decision based on where the exact location of where those swings are going to be. Not that there's going to be additional swings. We are making a decision on where it goes.

So that's where it becomes, I think, a bit of an issue then. Because if it was just a case of us saying, sure, you know, waiving the requirement for the detailed parking analysis, fine. You know, that's one thing. And if it just said something that we're saying, sure, they can put more swings on, but they have to figure out the location. That's also another thing, but that's not what we're doing. So to the comments that we just heard here tonight, we are making a decision on where the location of where those swings go. So for better or for worse, we are making a decision on what the Park Distr

We are. And my commentary before was typically we don't. typically we're not in that business. It's an unusual situation tonight because this is a change to the PUD, and correct me if I'm stating this inaccurately, but the PUD amendment that was done when the additions were done didn't include the swings, but now, because the Park District is listening, they want to include them again, so it's kind of a very specific add for tonight. But typically, We don't weigh in on location of the slides or the monkey bars or the swings or anything like that. I have not personally in my time on this board.

Okay. I guess I'm a little then confused to why it's come up to this point at one point. Because I agree with what you said before. We should be making decisions on what the park district or the library or the school districts, you know, what they're doing with their specific things as long as they're doing it within our codes. So is it, and I would be okay voting if it just said, just as it says here, because right now, As I'm looking at this, it's not talking about, in this recommendation, it's not talking about the location of where those swings are going. The only variation that I am seein

It does. I think in the context of getting back to the whole issue of, you know, us not deciding what these other governing bodies are doing, Right now the Park District is basically asking us to say this is our will, this is what we've decided, and there has to be a change in the POD in order to accomplish what we want to do. So what we'd be voting for is we're saying yes, Park District, if we voted yes, saying yes, you have made your decision, and we are granting the variance for you to go ahead and make that decision.

Okay, thank you. Is there someone else down here? Trustee LaBette, you had your hand up.

Yeah, and I know we're all trying to get to the same place, but I would also want to piggyback with what Manager Reklaus and Trustee Libetz is trying to say is when you have a PUD and you're going to make an amendment, so yes, Miss Rodman is right, and it's on you know unfortunately. Yes, we have to dive in to this pod and say is it still Proper is it still proper for for you know the property so on and so forth However, we're not park people specialists. Just like if we had the police chief or the fire chief or any other department come up here and say, or even the library come up and say, we

Thank you. I see Trustee Santa Maria's hand up.

John, do you have any data on how many residents reached out specifically asking for swings?

And Randy, or maybe Attorney Passman, this might be for you, is there a way toward the motion to say that we would allow the Park District, that we would agree with this and we give the Park District the ability to choose where the location of the swings is?

I mean, we have attorneys on this board.

to make it work. That's your job. So I'm throwing that out there in case that's something that we would consider having a motion where we allow this to happen. We say yes, but the motion gives the ability to the Park District to select where they put the swings and that takes us out of it since it's their own taxing body.

Makes sense to me. MR. PASSMAN, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE, NOT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD HERE, BUT WHAT WOULD NEED TO CHANGE IN THE MOTION TO ALLOW THE PARK DISTRICT TO CARRY ON WITH THEIR GOALS HERE AND ADJUST THE LOCATION IF THEY FELT IT WAS APPROPRIATE?

TONIGHT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE DIRECTING STAFF AND THE VILLAGE ATTORNEY WHICH IS YOU TO CREATE THIS. IF I WAS TO DO A STRAW POLL OF THIS BOARD THAT THIS IS LANGUAGE THAT WE WOULD WANT TO INCLUDE IN IT. you would do so.

SO WHAT WE COULD DO IS CARRY ON WITH THE MOTION IN THE SECOND THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND THEN ASK THE QUESTION THAT SAYS, ALL RIGHT, IS THIS THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY OF THE BOARD TO TURN IT INTO THIS? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? IT DOES.

Can we not have to either vote on or amend the motion on the table?

Is it appropriate to ask the motion maker to add an additional sentence in his motion and ask to see if it gets seconded by the? I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE PETITIONER. WOULD ANY ACTION EITHER WAY CHANGE OR GIVE YOU FLEXIBILITY TO CHANGE THE LOCATION?

Okay. So I guess I don't, see what adding the flexibility would change ultimately. Because if I'm hearing correctly, in two weeks or whenever it is, we'd wind up looking at the same map.

Or we don't have to look at a map because it's not our responsibility to, right? Because it's a different governing body.

it's let's do this is that yeah i don't i don't think that we're necessarily saying that this is where they go we're just approving the modification of the pud yeah and but as as ms rodman said it does include this map that shows the location in the blue up here up at the top corner there in the north and that's where you might expect them to be then and all i'm getting at is that's what the motion is right now and that's what the second is i think the board here TO SOME DEGREE WANTS TO STAY OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF LOCATING CERTAIN SPECIFIC JUNGLE GYMS AND SWINGS AND SLIDES AND THINGS LIKE THAT

It does. And they still have to answer to the residents as to how they do their business. And that's the way it should be, right? Let's do a roll call vote on this. We have a motion and a second. Is there any other discussion here or anywhere else? I don't think there is. Maggie, please. It was a motion that was made by Trustee Gilbert, seconded by Trustee Schwingbeck.

Yes. So the motion carries. Your request has been approved. It's in your hands. Is there any further discussion that staff needs to hear from the board or anybody else wants to say anything else on this before we move on?

I'll make a comment. Just as a daily user of this facility, I do think that those speed bumps down that road might be a good thing to look into, regardless of the location of the swings, because I do see it quite a bit, people kind of just flying around that corner over there. So, again, just, you know, I'm not in the park business, but, again, just speaking as a resident who is dropping kids off and going there quite frequently, it could be, in my opinion, a little safer. Understood. Anyone else? All right.

Thank you. Good luck. We'll see an ordinance prepared in a couple of weeks. Thanks. Thank you, Mayor. All right. And then the last item on the agenda is item F, and that is an approval of an ordinance amending the village code regarding alcohol regulations for a downtown social district pilot program. And I'll hand this one back off to staff.

Thank you, Jack. Nicely done. Thank you, Manager Radcliffe. Let's go ahead and turn it over to the board right away here, and then we'll certainly open it up to the audience as well. We'll start on this side this time. Trustee Dunnington.

Thank you, Mayor. I have a question about the ordinance under its item C and its sales and possession of village approved containers. And number three on that is that a licensee may permit a patron to carry only one open container of alcoholic liquor from its premises into the social district. and so my question is um so that means like you could not buy a drink for for someone else each individual person has to come into the establishment to buy the drink is that correct correct that's how it's currently written okay one social district drink per person at that moment of transaction okay and

OK. AND THEN COULD YOU ALSO EXPLAIN THE PURPOSE OF DATING THE LABEL?

Okay, that's my question so far. Thank you.

Thank you. Anyone else on this side? Nope. Nope. Go this direction. I see three hands.

Okay, thank you, Mayor. A couple of things. The budget and the money, Manager Ratcliffe, you had made a comment about that, regarding the plastic cups, that the establishments that are part of this, they're going to be paying for that. Is that... that they're going to be buying the cups from us or they're just going to have to go out and get plastic cups themselves?

Okay, so you answered my second question about the cost of the labels. Okay. And I think I said I didn't realize my experience of 35 plus years had ever come with the board, but 35 years being in the adhesive world, I've got to say to any establishment that is involved in this, please, please, please put these stickers on when the cups are empty and there's nothing in them. Because if you pour something in there and you try to put the sticker on after that, CONDENSATION THAT'S ON THERE IS GOING TO CAUSE THEM NOT TO STICK GOING TO CAUSE THEM NOT TO STICK AND THEY'RE GOING TO FALL OFF AND AND TH

OR FALLING OFF ALL OVER THE PLACE. SO PLEASE PUT THEM ON BEFORE YOU SO PLEASE PUT THEM ON BEFORE YOU PUT DRINKS IN.

PUT DRINKS IN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. TRUSTEE GILBERT, I SAW YOUR TRUSTEE GILBERT, I SAW YOUR HAND. HAND. YES

Thanks, Mary Tenaglia. I have to say, I spoke with some of our officers at the last Sounds of Summer, and they were, I would say, mildly at least enthusiastic about the process or the idea, and they got me rethinking it. But some of what I'm hearing, I mean, family-friendly public alcohol consumption, what could possibly go wrong when we get in the car with the kids? The closer for me though is this is from a sustainability standpoint. We're assuring that a lot of plastic, cups labeled are gonna go into the trash, best case, so just put more plastic in our landfills. A little bit worse case is

Okay. Trustee Bertucci. Thank you, Mayor. Just for clarification, so every, if you have a drink in your hand, you also have a wristband, correct? Correct. Okay. Okay. So if we allowed somebody to get two, I'm just concerned about that. So say I'm with my significant other and I want to be a gentleman and I say, you know, I'm going to run in and get a drink. How would you like one? So if she already has a wristband, I mean, I could see if we allow to, okay, that's not a problem. But if she doesn't, then you have a whole education thing where anybody, whether it's the male, whoever the partner i

Anyone else on the side? I see two hands. We'll start with Trustee Schoenbeck. Thank you, Mayor.

Well, I certainly respect what everyone had to say tonight, and thank you to staff, everybody, Deputy Manager Mikula, Manager Reklos. I mean, this is something that I've been thinking about for a long time, and I'm really happy that we're discussing this. I'm glad we've been a little conservative because what I've seen on a regular basis in other towns, they open it up Monday through Sunday for the entire liquor code. So I'm really happy that we're going to try the pilot program if it passes between 5 and 9. I certainly have seen where everybody has to come in and get the drink. You can't come

Thank you. Trustee Donington, you had your hand up as well.

Just a question about when we have Harmony Fest, do we allow people to buy more than one drink? I think that also requires a wristband.

Okay. Could you do me a favor, Jack, and pull up the slide that you made a comment about the reason for doing this, and it was the one just before the map. Go back one more. Right there, this one. The goals, the common program goals include... And I'm just going to read these really quick. Supporting the local businesses, increasing pedestrian activity, encouraging outdoor dining and shopping, and enhanced tourism. in the downtown and downtown vibrancy. There was question at our last meeting, why would we do such a thing? Why is this something that we should be doing? It might cost us a little

Thank you. There are other hands. We'll go with Mr. Jaffe in the second row, and then we'll call, we'll come on the front row next.

Thank you. Is there anyone else? I see one more hand. Come on up.

last call anyone else in the audience all right seeing none we'll come back to the board final thoughts final comments I see trustee Santa Maria sure I think I appreciate what everyone has been saying I think there's been a little bit a different thought about what this means to some and it's it's just as if you were waiting for a reservation so what you're doing inside the restaurant you're just doing outside of the restaurant so I think the liability is still the same I think the training still happens that's still the same it's just being able to take your beverage and walk out to maybe go

Do we have a motion? No, not yet. Not yet. Is there someone who wants to make a motion to recommend staff to work forward on these, as mentioned here in this recommendation? I'd be happy to. How did I guess it? I think the rest of us would have backed off just so you could.

Thank you, Mayor. I would move that we approve the attach ordinance to amend the code as outlined and direct village staff to take the necessary steps to implement a downtown social district pilot program.

Motion made by Trustee Schwingbeck, seconded by Trustee Dunnington. Further discussion, comments from anyone on the board? SEEING NONE, LET'S DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. SEEING NONE, LET'S DO A ROLL CALL VOTE.

TRUSTEE SANTA MARIA? TRUSTEE SANTA MARIA? YES. YES. TRUSTEE BERTUCCI? TRUSTEE BERTUCCI? YES. YES. PRESIDENT TINAGLIA? PRESIDENT TINAGLIA? YES. YES. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. IF MY MATH education and everything necessary to get this off the ground. When was the window? You want to put that back up real quick? It was July 1st? July 30th to September 26th.

There could be. And, of course, it's understandable. But that's the goal. We'll see if that happens. I think that's it on this topic. And according to the agenda, that's everything. Is there anything else from staff? Is there anyone in the audience that we're overlooking here that's something that they wanted to? I see nothing. Okay. Is there a motion to adjourn?

Motion made by Trustee LeBed, seconded by Trustee Santamaria. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? None. We are adjourned. Thank you everyone for joining us.
