The Village of North Aurora Committee of the Whole meeting held on September 15, 2025, commenced with a roll call confirming the presence of Mayor Gaffino and all trustees. Following the roll call, the meeting moved to audience comments, but no members of the public chose to speak.
The first agenda item was a recap of a previous meeting held on September 4, where discussions focused on the village's future water system. The purpose of this recap was to ensure that the board's feedback was accurately conveyed to consultants and engineering enterprises for the development of potential rate schedules.
A significant topic discussed was the lead service line replacement program. It was noted that the village is currently responsible for replacing private lines when they are disturbed, as mandated by state law. The board agreed that for the estimated 60 to 80 homes with private lines, the village would continue to cover the full cost of replacing these lines, ensuring that residents would not incur any expenses for the installation of new pipes.
The meeting proceeded without further comments from trustees or the audience, maintaining a focus on the water system discussions. The committee's efforts aim to finalize plans that align with the board's directives and community needs. Further steps will involve collaboration with engineering consultants to refine the proposed water system strategies.
