Mayor Giovanni Giannelli opened a public hearing earlier in the meeting to receive comment on the proposed pre‑annexation agreement and no members of the public offered comment during the hearing. The board then closed the hearing and later adopted the ordinance after waiving first reading and calling the question by roll call.

The ordinance authorizes village staff to execute the pre‑annexation agreement and to take necessary administrative steps to allow the property to connect to municipal sanitary service in accordance with village standards. The board did not record additional conditions in public discussion and no citizen opposition was recorded at the hearing.

What’s next: Village staff will execute the agreement and process the connection in coordination with community development and public works; the ordinance was adopted as number 2025‑26 and takes effect immediately.

Deputy Director Jeff McCumber introduced Robert Davis of MGP Group, the village’s GIS service provider, who walked trustees through the consortium’s mapping tools. Davis described membership in a regional GIS consortium and demonstrated staff-facing myGIS, public-facing community map viewer, survey tools used for events and an asset-management suite for public works operations.

The new capital improvements story map, Davis said, includes project descriptions, contact information and status updates. Village staff told trustees they will post updates as projects progress and will add large county or state projects when resident engineers provide schedules. Trustees asked whether Commonwealth Edison tree‑trimming and upcoming DuPage County resurfacing projects would appear on the map; staff said they would add third‑party schedules once the village receives formal notices.

The map is available via the village website under Government > Public Works > Interactive Project Maps; Davis and staff encouraged residents to check the tool for biweekly updates during active construction seasons.

What’s next: Staff said the village’s road program and one more water‑main project will be primary items on the timeline in the coming weeks. County projects such as Glen Elm Road resurfacing will be added when the county supplies schedules.

Village President Giovanni Giannelli introduced McCumber, noting his 33 years with the public works department and a progression through multiple operations roles. The board adopted resolution 2025‑R‑74 to appoint McCumber; trustees approved the resolution by roll call.

Giannelli then introduced Brian Swanson, who the village said currently resides in California and has two decades of leadership experience in community development and urban planning. Swanson is scheduled to start in August. The board adopted resolution 2025‑R‑75 to appoint Swanson; trustees approved the resolution by roll call.

Both leaders spoke briefly. McCumber received congratulations from the board; Swanson told trustees he is “honored” and looks forward to working with staff, residents and trustees on economic development and housing initiatives. The appointments were presented as routine personnel actions under the village’s authority to appoint executive staff.

What’s next: McCumber will assume director duties immediately; Swanson’s start date will be in August. The village indicated both directors will participate in upcoming planning and capital improvement work, including the newly launched GIS capital improvements map.

Village President Giovanni Giannelli said the update is meant to bring three recently elected trustees up to speed on a plan that residents helped produce and to align the plan more closely with the village budget and priorities. Trustee and public questions at the meeting focused on cost and whether the earlier, resident-driven plan would be discarded.

Giannelli said the effort will build on — not replace — the public input gathered when the original plan was developed. He told a resident who asked why the update was happening three years after the plan was produced that the new work will “enhance that” plan by bringing the new trustees’ perspectives into the roadmap linking strategy and the budget. The village confirmed it will not pursue optional add-ons that appeared in the agreement’s paperwork; the base contract figure discussed at the meeting was $22,000 with up to $13,000 in optional services that the board said it would not use.

The strategic plan update was listed as item 13 on the consent agenda and was approved as part of the board’s consent motion. The board discussed the topic again in the Committee of the Whole, where the mayor invited trustees to participate in prework sessions and a planned workshop so the board can produce a shared vision before the consultant’s process begins.

Mayor and trustees said the goal is for budget decisions to be traceable to strategic-plan priorities and for the whole board to agree on the village’s multi-year direction. The board indicated it will schedule additional internal workshops in August and October to prepare for work with the consultant.

What’s next: The village administrator will finalize the IGA with NIU and schedule trustee workshops; the consultant’s scope will be limited to the agreed base services rather than the optional additions referenced in the draft paperwork.

","The Village of Glendale Heights approved an intergovernmental agreement with Northern Illinois University Center for Government Studies to update the village's strategic plan; trustees said the update will incorporate new board members' input and tie to budget priorities.","actionData","errors"]
