The Village Board of Trustees for Tinley Park convened on September 2, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items that reflect ongoing community development and governance efforts. The meeting, held in the council chambers, began promptly at 6 PM and included a full attendance of board members.
One of the primary actions taken during the meeting was the approval of an ordinance awarding a Class AB liquor license to Pepe's Mexican Restaurant. This decision is significant as it supports local business growth and enhances the dining options available to residents and visitors in Tinley Park. The board unanimously approved the motion, indicating strong support for local entrepreneurship.
Additionally, the board adopted a resolution to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways. This agreement pertains to the resurfacing of 170 Ninth Street between 80th and 94th Avenues, funded through the Invest in Cook County Grant. This infrastructure improvement is crucial for maintaining safe and efficient roadways, which is vital for both residents and businesses in the area.
Public comments were also a part of the meeting, although no residents spoke during the designated time. However, a citizen did express concerns regarding previous discussions about local law enforcement, highlighting the importance of community engagement and transparency in governance.
Overall, the meeting underscored the Village Board's commitment to fostering local business development and improving infrastructure, both of which are essential for the community's growth and well-being. As the board continues to address these issues, residents can anticipate further developments that will shape the future of Tinley Park.
