The Village of Romeoville held its board meeting on July 9, 2025, where several key resolutions and community updates were discussed, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance local infrastructure and community engagement.

One of the significant resolutions approved was the addition of a concrete repair program for sidewalk installations along Taylor Road and Droxel Avenue. This initiative aims to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, addressing concerns raised by residents about the condition of local sidewalks.

Additionally, the board approved an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with Will County for the replacement of license plate reading cameras on county highways. This upgrade is expected to enhance public safety and improve law enforcement capabilities in the area.

The board also accepted a proposal from Cargill for the purchase of an Accubatch prime maker, utilizing Sourcewell contracting pricing. This procurement is part of the village's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve public works operations.

During the mayor's report, Mayor John Noak highlighted the success of recent community events, including a resource fair hosted by NICHOR, which provided valuable services to residents. He also expressed gratitude for the successful Fourth of July fireworks display, noting that it fostered community spirit without the need for individual fireworks in neighborhoods.

Looking ahead, the mayor announced that the upcoming Romeo Fest will take place from August 7 to 10, featuring fireworks on August 8 and a laser light show on August 9. This annual event is anticipated to draw significant community participation and enhance local pride.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the village's commitment to ongoing improvements, including a new parking lot that will facilitate better access to community events. The board plans to discuss a property tax rebate at the next meeting, scheduled for August 20, which could provide financial relief to residents.

Overall, the July board meeting underscored the village's proactive approach to community development and public safety, while also celebrating local achievements and upcoming events that foster community engagement.
