The Homer Glen Village Board approved a series of ordinances, resolutions and contracts at its regular meeting and took one notable action to table a commercial improvement grant for further detail and an itemized scope of work.

The board approved a special-use permit for a massage establishment at 14757 Founders Crossing (case HG2523-SP), accepted a development agreement with a minor PUD change for the Goodings Grove Phase 2 subdivision, renewed an intergovernmental cooperative planning and jurisdictional boundary agreement with New Lenox, authorized a three-year fireworks contract with Ace Pyro LLC, approved placement of a yield sign at Meath Drive and Erin Drive in the Erin Hills subdivision, and approved a variance concerning exterior materials at 14215 W. Spring Creek Road. Trustees also approved suggested trick-or-treat hours and the release and continued confidential treatment of listed executive session minutes. The board considered and then clarified an ordinance updating business license fees to apply to commercial (brick-and-mortar) businesses only.

A motion to table a $7,500 commercial building improvement reimbursement for Fil Fil LLC d/b/a Fil Fil Mediterranean at 12326 W. 143rd Street passed after trustees questioned whether some line items (notably plumbing and a grease trap) were eligible under the grant program and asked for a more itemized bid. The board did not set a date to remove the item from the table.

The board also discussed committee procedures and rules about public recording and seating, and a short-term 30-day public relations agreement with ClearFi Digital to improve resident communications; trustees indicated consensus to proceed with a short trial and then go to RFP.

The meeting included multiple roll-call votes recorded as “Aye” by trustees present; where a recorded roll-call was given in the transcript, it is noted above. No formal “No” tallies were recorded except on the L4 table vote where two trustees voted No and one trustee voted No on the table motion on the record. The Fil Fil grant remains tabled pending supplemental detail.

Ending: Trustees directed staff and the village attorney to follow up on the tabled grant, the attorney-reviewed documents, and next steps for communications and committee-room arrangements.
