Covered by Trustee Dole

• Resolution 24-01 - A Resolution of the Village of Manteno, Kankakee County, Illinois, extending the time for the submission, consideration, and approval of the preliminary and final plans of development/plat of Subdivision for the Lifestyles of Manteno Planned Unit Development (PUD). Due to the extended timing of the project to get all the engineering and control documentation completed, it's necessary per ordinance to extend the time between the Sketch Plan approval and the Final Plat approval. Staff and the Village Attorney have been working with the developer to ensure all necessary requirements are correct and enforceable.

• Resolution 24-03 - A Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with HR Green in connection with providing Professional Engineering Services from May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025, for the Village of Manteno. Each year our Village engineering firm HR Green updates a master services agreement for work done outside of specific projects such as attending meetings, determining overland flows in easements and other minor requests by staff or by the Board.

The next Planning and Zoning Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday May 28, 2024, at 7:00 am at the Village Board Room. The next Planning Commission meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday May 14, 2024, at 6:00 pm at the Village Board Room.

• Payment of bills $267,831.40 (includes TIF #1 bills of $0)

• Bills authorized and paid between Board Cycle: $60,260.61

The next Finance meeting will be held Wednesday May 15, 2024, at 7:00 am at the Village Board Room. General Government- Trustee Phillips, absent

Covered by Trustee Gesky

• Resolution 24-02 - A Resolution approving an Information Technology Inter-Agency Agreement with Kankakee County Sheriff's Police Department for Maintaining and Administering the Local Area Network (LAN) and all Information Technology (IT) Related Needs. We have been exploring using the Sheriff Departments IT employee for a while now and have reached a point where we feel comfortable making this switch. They already handle some of the IT maintenance for the police department, so this will be an easy migration and ultimately will save the Village some money.

No meetings scheduled.
