The resolution followed repeal of a previous appointment (Resolution 2025‑R‑86) that the board said was required because an earlier agreement fell through. The board voted by roll call to approve Engberg’s appointment; trustees voted in favor and the resolution was adopted.

Jason Engberg, present for the vote, thanked trustees, staff and his family. “I look forward to getting to meet all the rest of the staff members, the other trustees I haven't had the honor yet, and, most importantly, the residents and businesses here,” Engberg said. He told the board he will begin work right after Labor Day.

Discussion and context

Village officials said the prior appointment did not proceed and the board needed to repeal the earlier resolution before making this new appointment. Trustees welcomed Engberg and said they looked forward to his work with residents, businesses and staff. The board did not discuss specific duties or a start‑date contract in detail during the public meeting beyond confirming a start after Labor Day.

Ending

Engberg’s appointment was formalized by resolution. Village administrators and Engberg will complete onboarding and any required administrative steps prior to his start date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village Board & COW Meeting - 08/07/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Village of Glendale Heights approved a resolution appointing Jason Engberg as director of community development.

Chief of Police Pappas told the Committee of the Whole on Aug. 7 that proposed rules will include a 10‑mile‑per‑hour limit for scooters and a 20‑mile‑per‑hour limit for e‑bikes, plus location and age restrictions. “There’s locations that they can and they cannot drive them on. There’s age specifics too,” he said.

The ordinances are designed to give police citation authority and to create parental responsibility provisions. Chief Pappas said the village will include a parental‑responsibility element so parents can be fined for permitting minors to operate devices contrary to local rules.

Residents described recent close calls and urged immediate action. David Hillier, who lives at 1913 Scarborough Drive, described multiple collisions and near‑misses in his neighborhood and said, “Something needs to be done.” Another resident, Esther Wilk, told trustees a large tree limb had fallen during a July storm and thanked crews who helped; she also warned, “These kids do not stop at that stop sign. I’m waiting for somebody to get hit.”

Mayor Gianelli said the village will combine enforcement, education and environmental design changes to address traffic safety. She also announced a village safety campaign timed for the start of the school year and encouraged residents to “drive like your child lives here.”

Discussion and follow‑up

Committee members and staff described a three‑part approach: enforcement (expanded patrols and citations under the new ordinances), education (a public safety campaign and outreach to schools and faith groups), and engineering (temporary and permanent traffic calming measures in problem corridors). Chief Pappas said some traffic calming options are under study for streets where residents reported frequent high speeds and crashes.

The ordinances will be presented to the board for consideration at the next meeting; no final vote occurred at the Aug. 7 session. The police department and public works department will coordinate on enforcement, engineering, and public messaging.

Ending

Village staff said they will return with ordinance language and implementation details. Residents were urged to report hazardous driving and near‑misses to help staff prioritize enforcement and capital improvements.","Village leaders said they will present ordinances regulating e‑bikes and e‑scooters and launch a back‑to‑school safety campaign after multiple resident reports of near‑misses and hazardous driving.

The ordinance, identified in the meeting as Ordinance 2025‑29, was the subject of public comment before the vote. Sue (last name not provided), president of AFSCME Local 3768, told the board the union had not been notified about proposed changes and asked the board to remove the item from the agenda pending labor‑management discussions. “To date, neither I nor the union have received such notice or participated in such meetings regarding the changes outlined in item 1,” she said during public comment.

The ordinance’s supporters said the village needs a formal code that protects employees and officials. Trustee Muchasco said, “I do think it's important. We do need to have a code of conduct… There’s something it protects everybody.” Village attorney Michael Durkin (identified in the meeting) told trustees he had reviewed the documents before they were brought forward.

Trustees voted by roll call to adopt Ordinance 2025‑29. Several trustees voted no during the first procedural motion to table the item; a subsequent motion to remove the ordinance from the table carried, and the final adoption vote passed by the board.

Discussion and next steps

Speakers pressed for clarity about how the ordinance would interact with existing collective bargaining agreements. Several trustees urged staff and legal counsel to ensure the policy does not conflict with negotiated labor terms; union leaders asked for further, formal labor‑management meetings before implementation. The transcript shows the union asked the board to “remove item number 1 from consideration until further discussions could take place between the union and the village in accordance with the requirements outlined in the collective bargaining agreement.”

The board did not vote to delay adoption. The ordinance text was adopted as presented; trustees said the legal and HR teams would handle any implementation steps and clarify any open items with the union if needed.

Ending

The ordinance was adopted during the Aug. 7 meeting and will be enforced according to the village’s implementation process. Union leadership and village negotiators indicated both parties expect further discussion about operational details and compliance with the collective bargaining agreement.","The Village of Glendale Heights adopted a workplace conduct ordinance after months of review.
