The Village of Riverwoods Board of Trustees approved its consent agenda Sept. 2, which included minutes of the Aug. 19 meeting and approval of bills dated Aug. 18–Aug. 29, 2025, after one item was removed for separate discussion. Trustee Jamerson asked that invoices from Guelph Hamilton be pulled from the consent agenda for review; Director Witt said she and Director Vasquez had thoroughly reviewed those invoices and explained the backlog arose from staff and vendor vacation schedules.
After the Guelph Hamilton invoices were removed, a motion to approve the revised consent agenda was moved and seconded; roll-call votes recorded ayes from Trustee Clayton, Trustee Eastman, Trustee Jamerson, Trustee Raff and Trustee Trevino and a nay from Trustee Smith. The clerk noted that a vote on the consent agenda is recorded as a vote for each individual item on the consent agenda.
Jamerson said she did not wish to hold the invoices over to the next meeting and asked questions immediately; Witt answered that the invoices represented work that makes up a sizable portion of the village budget and that staff had completed a review and pushed through several invoices to become current.
