PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Board of Trustees Minutes – March 12, 2026

1

President Wittenberg welcomed attendees and commented that it was finally beginning to stay
light later into the evening, noting the seasonal change and improved daylight conditions.
President Wittenberg introduced several items as part of the President’s Report and directed
attention to upcoming community events and initiatives.
President Wittenberg announced a free workshop titled Caring for the Indian Head Park Tree
Canopy, scheduled for March 26 at 7:00 PM in the Village Hall. President Wittenberg stated that
the workshop would focus on helping residents learn how to protect and grow the Village’s tree
canopy. The workshop would include information on the Village’s urban forestry plan, which is
currently being updated, as well as discussion of tree canopy health. President Wittenberg stated
that the Village maintains maps and tracks the condition of the tree canopy. The workshop would
also provide practical guidance for residents on caring for trees, including invasive plant removal
and stewardship efforts.
President Wittenberg reported that a video had been produced by the Public Works Department
and the Village’s arborist consultant demonstrating how to remove invasive plant species.
President Wittenberg stated that the video would be shown during the workshop and would also
be available on the Village website and for replay on YouTube. President Wittenberg encouraged
residents to attend the workshop in person to participate in discussion, while noting that the
recording would be available for those unable to attend.
President Wittenberg next announced the Village’s annual Easter egg hunt, scheduled for April 26
at Blackhawk Park. President Wittenberg stated that approximately 5,000 eggs would be
distributed for children and that the egg hunt would begin promptly at 11:15 AM, organized by
age groups. President Wittenberg advised attendees to bring their own Easter baskets. President
Wittenberg further reported that the event would include pony rides, a petting zoo, photographs
with the Easter Bunny, and a scavenger hunt. President Wittenberg encouraged all residents to
attend, including those without children, and expressed hope for favorable weather.
President Wittenberg then discussed the monthly congregate lunch program, noting that it is
supported by a grant from the Lyons Township Mental Health Commission and Aging Care
Connections. President Wittenberg stated that the program is held on the third Thursday of each
month at 1:30 PM. President Wittenberg reported that the topic for March would be hearing health,
including a presentation on hearing aid maintenance by representatives from Costco, along with a
full lunch for participants.
A. Arbor Day Proclamation
President Wittenberg proceeded to present the Arbor Day proclamation. President
Wittenberg stated that Arbor Day was first observed in Nebraska in 1872 with the planting
of more than one million trees and has since become a nationwide celebration recognizing
the importance of trees. President Wittenberg stated that trees are a vital natural resource
contributing to the beauty and character of the Village of Indian Head Park and providing

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

2

environmental, economic, and social benefits. President Wittenberg stated that trees
improve air quality, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, moderate temperatures, provide
wildlife habitat, enhance property values, and improve overall quality of life. President
Wittenberg stated that the Village recognizes the importance of protecting and enhancing
its urban forest for current and future generations. President Wittenberg stated that Arbor
Day provides an opportunity for residents, schools, businesses, and organizations to plant
trees and promote awareness of their benefits. President Wittenberg proclaimed April 24,
2026 as Arbor Day in the Village of Indian Head Park.
President Wittenberg discussed the Village’s Arbor Day celebration, including planned
tree planting activities. Discussion occurred regarding the selection of tree species and
planting locations, which had not yet been finalized. It was confirmed that tree planting
would occur on Arbor Day and that a luncheon would follow at the Public Works facility,
where staff would prepare food. President Wittenberg encouraged residents to attend the
event and noted that participation typically includes approximately 15 to 20 individuals,
while expressing that increased participation is encouraged.
President Wittenberg concluded this portion of the report by transitioning to the vehicle
sticker program update and introduced Administrative Assistant Sanders to provide the
report.
Administrative Report – Vehicle Stickers
Ms. Sanders reported that she works in the Administrative Department and presented an update on
the scofflaw program associated with the Village’s vehicle sticker enforcement.
Ms. Sanders reported that since the beginning of the 2025–2026 vehicle sticker season in the spring
of the previous year, a total of 2,640 vehicle stickers had been purchased. Ms. Sanders stated that
the total amount collected from sticker sales, excluding late fees, was $171,386. Ms. Sanders
further reported that late fees generated an additional $6,046.84 in revenue.
Ms. Sanders stated that revenue collected from the vehicle sticker program is used to fund
maintenance of Village roadways. Ms. Sanders explained that, pursuant to the Village Municipal
Code, any vehicle with a license plate registered to an address within Indian Head Park is required
to be registered with the Village and display a valid vehicle sticker or, in the case of motorcycles
and scooters, a registration tag affixed to the vehicle.
Ms. Sanders reported that, due to concerns regarding vehicles within the Village that did not
display valid stickers, the Village requested and received a report from the Illinois Secretary of
State identifying vehicles with license plates registered to Indian Head Park addresses. Ms. Sanders
stated that staff compared the Secretary of State report with the Village’s internal database,
reviewing license plate numbers and addresses, and removed vehicles that had already purchased
stickers for the current season.
Ms. Sanders reported that this review resulted in the identification of 692 vehicles that did not
appear to have a valid sticker issued. Ms. Sanders stated that during the third week of February,

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

3

letters were mailed to the registered owners of these vehicles. The letters informed recipients that
a vehicle registered in their name did not have a Village sticker and instructed them to purchase a
sticker if one had not been obtained, contact the Village if a sticker had already been purchased,
or update records with the Secretary of State if the vehicle was no longer associated with an Indian
Head Park address or had changed ownership.
Ms. Sanders reported that recipients were required to respond and resolve the issue by Monday,
March 16 to avoid issuance of a police citation. Ms. Sanders stated that, as of 4:00 PM on the date
of the meeting, the letter campaign had resulted in the sale of 91 additional vehicle stickers.
Ms. Sanders noted that, in addition to increased sticker sales, the program resulted in the correction
of numerous outdated or inaccurate records, including discrepancies in license plate numbers and
vehicle ownership information. Ms. Sanders clarified that individuals who received letters due to
outdated or incorrect records were not required to purchase a sticker if they were not in violation.
Ms. Sanders reported that vehicles confirmed to be in violation were required to purchase a sticker
and pay the applicable late fee. Ms. Sanders stated that, following the March 16 deadline, any
individuals who had not responded by purchasing a sticker, updating records, or contacting the
Village would receive a police citation in the amount of $65, in addition to the cost of the sticker
and late penalties.
Ms. Sanders reported that the Village Hall office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM
to 4:00 PM and provided contact information, including the Village phone number and email
address for vehicle updates. Ms. Sanders advised residents not to wait until the deadline to resolve
outstanding issues and noted that Village Hall would be closed on Tuesday, March 17 due to its
use as a polling location for election day.
Ms. Sanders stated that, once citations are issued, vehicle owners may still contact the Village to
provide updated or corrected information and may have their citations considered for reversal. Ms.
Sanders further reported that an adjudication process would be available in April, during which
individuals may appeal citations before the Village’s adjudication judge.
Ms. Sanders reminded the Board and residents that current vehicle stickers expire on June 30,
2026, and that sales for the next sticker season would begin on May 1. Ms. Sanders stated that
additional information regarding the renewal process would be provided at the next Board meeting.
Ms. Sanders reported that, moving forward, the Village intends to request updated vehicle
registration reports from the State approximately every six months, including after the start of the
next sticker cycle and at the beginning of each calendar year. Ms. Sanders stated that incorporating
this process into routine operations will improve record accuracy, increase efficiency, and support
consistent revenue collection to fund roadway improvements, snow removal, and other public
works services.
Following the report, President Wittenberg asked whether residents are able to purchase vehicle
stickers online. Ms. Sanders confirmed that an online payment option is available through a link
provided in the letter and that residents may also contact Village Hall for assistance.

President Wittenberg acknowledged Ms. Sanders for leading the program and coordinating efforts
with the Village’s third-party vendor, Third Millennium, as well as training front office staff to
process payments, answer questions, and maintain records. President Wittenberg stated that the
program improvements will result in a more efficient and accurate system moving forward.

NEW BUSINESS
E. Presentation and Discussion of the Tentative FY 2026–2027 Budget
MOTION: Saldana moved accept the tentative Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget and
authorize its posting for public inspection
SECONDED: Eck
Mr. Morgan presented the tentative Fiscal Year 2026–2027 Budget to the Board.

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

5

Mr. Morgan reported that the proposed budget reflects total revenues of approximately
$3.45 million and total expenditures of approximately $3.83 million, resulting in a planned
use of fund balance to cover the difference. Mr. Morgan stated that this approach is
consistent with prior years and reflects the Village’s practice of conservative revenue
projections and responsible financial planning.
Mr. Morgan explained that the tentative budget is the first formal step in the statutory
budget adoption process. Mr. Morgan stated that, following Board acceptance of the
tentative budget, the document would be made available for public inspection for a
minimum of 30 days. Mr. Morgan further stated that a public hearing would be scheduled
prior to final adoption, providing residents the opportunity to review and comment on the
proposed budget.
Mr. Morgan noted that the budget incorporates operational expenses, capital
improvements, and ongoing service obligations, including infrastructure maintenance and
program funding. Mr. Morgan stated that the Village continues to evaluate expenditures
carefully to ensure alignment with available resources while maintaining service levels.
Mr. Morgan stated that the tentative budget reflects anticipated revenues from property
taxes, state-shared revenues, and local sources, and that the Village continues to monitor
economic conditions that may impact revenue projections. Mr. Morgan explained that
expenditures were developed based on departmental needs, ongoing contracts, and planned
projects for the fiscal year.
Mr. Morgan stated that the Village’s financial position remains stable and that the use of
fund balance is planned and controlled, consistent with maintaining adequate reserves. Mr.
Morgan indicated that staff will continue to review the budget during the public inspection
period and may present adjustments prior to final adoption if necessary.
Following the presentation, President Wittenberg asked if there were any questions or
comments from the Board.
Trustees discussed aspects of the budget in greater detail, including overall expenditures,
revenue assumptions, and the planned use of fund balance. Trustees asked questions
regarding how revenue projections were developed and whether assumptions accounted
for potential fluctuations in state-shared revenues and local income sources. Trustees
discussed the Village’s approach to estimating revenues conservatively to avoid
overreliance on uncertain funding streams.
Trustees also discussed expenditure categories, including operational costs, capital
improvements, and ongoing contractual obligations. Trustees inquired about how
departmental needs were prioritized within the budget and how staff evaluated competing
funding demands. Discussion included consideration of maintaining service levels while
managing costs and ensuring that planned expenditures align with available resources.

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

6

Trustees reviewed the use of fund balance to address the projected gap between revenues
and expenditures. Trustees discussed the Village’s policy of maintaining adequate reserves
and using fund balance in a controlled and intentional manner. Trustees noted that the
planned use of fund balance is consistent with prior years and supports the completion of
necessary projects and operations without compromising long-term financial stability.
Trustees acknowledged the Village’s overall conservative budgeting approach and
emphasized the importance of ongoing monitoring and adjustments as needed throughout
the fiscal year. Discussion reflected a general understanding that the tentative budget
represents a planning document subject to refinement during the public review period prior
to final adoption.
President Wittenberg asked if there were any other questions. Hearing none, she called for
a roll call vote.

F. Discussion – Proposed Ordinance Amending Zoning Code Regulations for Fences
Mr. Morgan introduced the discussion regarding the proposed ordinance amending the
zoning code regulations for fences. Mr. Morgan stated that the purpose of the ordinance is
to establish clear standards governing fence height, materials, placement, drainage
protection, and permitting requirements. Mr. Morgan stated that the proposal also considers
allowing compatible residential fencing along major roadways in order to improve privacy,
safety, and usability for residential properties located along those higher-traffic corridors.
Mr. Morgan stated that the goal of the project is to create a consistent regulatory framework
that balances residential needs with broader considerations such as roadway visibility,
drainage, and infrastructure access. Mr. Morgan stated that the item was presented for
discussion and direction from the Board.
Mr. Beltran stated that staff was seeking Board direction on two primary questions: first,
what type of fencing, if any, should be permitted on properties located along the major
roadways identified by the Plan Commission; and second, whether fencing should also be
considered for residential properties not located along those corridors, and if so, in what
yard areas such fencing should be allowed. Mr. Beltran stated that the draft ordinance had
been written in a generalized manner in order to give the Board flexibility in determining
where fences could be permitted.
Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

7

At the Board’s request, Mr. Beltran reviewed the current proposed ordinance language for
properties along busy streets. He stated that the draft establishes general standards
including a maximum fence height of five feet; construction materials consisting of
wrought iron, aluminum, or other corrosion-resistant materials; flat-top fence design; and
placement entirely on private property. He stated that fences would be required to be set
back a minimum of three feet from the public right-of-way unless otherwise addressed. Mr.
Beltran further stated that, along interior property lines, fences could be placed on the
property line only with written approval from the adjoining neighbor; otherwise, the fence
would be required to be located three feet off the property line. He stated that a plat of
survey would be required as part of the permit application.
Mr. Beltran also reviewed gate requirements for properties abutting major roads. He stated
that gates could not swing outward into a sidewalk or public right-of-way, that vehicle
gates would be required to be set back at least ten feet from the right-of-way so vehicles
would not stop in the roadway while waiting for entry, and that gates may be required to
include self-closing and latching mechanisms for safety and emergency access. Mr. Beltran
identified the designated roadways under discussion as Wolf Road, Plainfield Road,
Willow Springs Road, Joliet Road, and 65th Street.
With respect to interior residential properties, Mr. Beltran stated that the draft under
discussion did not propose traditional perimeter fencing, but instead contemplated limited
interior yard enclosures such as dog runs or small play areas. He stated that these enclosures
would be permitted only in rear yards or interior side yards, would be required to remain
open fencing, and would be limited in size. He stated that such enclosures also could not
interfere with drainage or stormwater infrastructure and would remain subject to permitting
requirements and restrictions related to easements.
Discussion then focused first on fencing for properties located on major roads. It was stated
that the survey results and prior Plan Commission discussions appeared to support allowing
fencing for yards running along major streets, while there appeared to be less support for
fencing on non-designated roads. Discussion followed regarding whether the draft clearly
distinguished between fencing only the yard area adjacent to a major road and allowing
fencing around an entire parcel. It was noted that the language needed to be clarified so
that the ordinance would clearly state what portion of a property could be enclosed.
Board discussion included whether fences on major roads should be limited to the yard
area abutting the major road or whether full perimeter fencing of the entire property should
be allowed. One position expressed was that residents on major roads should have the
option to fence the entirety of their property for reasons including safety, property value,
and use of the home. Another position expressed was that fencing should be limited to the
yard area adjacent to the major roadway in order to preserve the open and wooded character
of the neighborhood while still addressing safety concerns for residents along those roads.
It was also noted that residents could choose to install no fence at all.

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

8

Discussion also addressed corner lots and lots with frontage on more than one major
roadway. Mr. Morgan requested clarification from the Board as to whether both qualifying
yard areas on such lots should be eligible for enclosure or whether only one yard should be
eligible. It was indicated that the intent was to ensure that each portion of the property
facing a major roadway could be addressed. The Board also discussed the need for more
precise draft language specifying exactly where a fence would begin and end in relation to
the house and lot configuration.
Questions were raised regarding gate setbacks, including whether a ten-foot setback from
the right-of-way would be sufficient for larger vehicles, and how emergency access to gates
would function. Mr. Beltran explained that emergency accessibility would require a
mechanism allowing police or fire personnel access, whether through a code or other
approved means, and that gates could still be locked so long as the required emergency
access feature was provided.
Discussion then turned to the appearance and material standards for fencing. It was
suggested that the ordinance should clarify the intended appearance of the fence, including
whether black architectural aluminum should be specified. It was noted that the draft
language allowed corrosion-resistant materials so that future comparable materials could
be considered administratively, provided they met the code requirements and maintained
the intended appearance. It was also discussed that fences should remain flat-topped
without spikes.
The Board further discussed the three-foot setback requirement from property lines where
adjoining neighbors do not agree to share a fence. Concerns were raised that if one neighbor
constructed a fence three feet inside the property line and the other did not, an area of
unmaintained land could remain between the fence and the line. In response, staff explained
that those areas would still be required to be maintained by the property owner and that
existing code enforcement procedures would apply if they were not maintained. Mr.
Beltran also explained, based on his prior experience administering fence permits in
another municipality, that a three-foot setback helps prevent accidental encroachment onto
neighboring property caused by surveying or installation inaccuracies. It was noted that
setback standards vary across municipalities, and that comparison data from fourteen
municipalities had already been compiled and made available on the Village website.
After discussion of major-road properties, the Board turned to the question of interior
residential lots. It was stated that the draft ordinance did not propose fences for nondesignated roads, but did include the possibility of a limited non-perimeter enclosure in the
backyard. Discussion followed regarding whether the proposed 400-square-foot limit was
appropriate or whether a percentage of the rear yard would be a more workable standard.
It was stated that a fixed square-footage allowance might be too large for some smaller lots
and too small for larger lots. An alternative concept was discussed that would allow a
partial rear yard fence attached to the principal structure and limited by a percentage of the
total rear yard area after required setbacks were applied.

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

9

It was noted that similar partial yard fencing already exists in the Village for swimming
pools and that the proposed enclosure concept was intended to address safety concerns for
children and pets. Discussion also addressed whether such enclosures should be required
to be attached to the house and whether setbacks rather than raw percentage alone would
better define the allowable area.
Additional discussion involved the effect of any interior fencing regulations on townhouse
and homeowners association developments. It was noted that existing HOA rules in certain
subdivisions do not currently permit backyard fences, and that any change in Village policy
would not automatically override HOA restrictions. It was further clarified that plan unit
developments already have a mechanism to seek approval for perimeter or subdivision
fencing through amendment of their special use approval, and that such situations were
distinct from the residential fence ordinance under discussion. It was also clarified that
commercial screening fences already authorized elsewhere in the zoning code were not the
subject of this ordinance.
Discussion continued as to whether interior fences should be allowed at all. One view
expressed was that allowing only a limited percentage-based enclosure attached to the
home could provide residents with a reasonable area for pets, gardening, or children’s play
without significantly changing the wooded, open character of the Village. Another view
expressed was that one size does not fit all in Indian Head Park due to the wide variation
in lot sizes and shapes, and that if fencing were to be allowed in interior rear yards, residents
should be permitted to fence their entire backyard rather than only a percentage. A further
view expressed was that interior fencing should not be expanded because doing so could
alter the existing natural and pastoral character of the community. It was also noted that if
interior fencing standards are adopted, they should be coordinated with whatever standard
is ultimately chosen for properties on major roads so that properties on major roads are not
subject to more restrictive treatment than interior properties.
The Board also discussed interpretation of prior public survey results. It was noted that
survey responses and public comments reflected a range of opinions and may not have
uniformly contemplated the same type of fencing arrangement, particularly with respect to
whether “fences on major roads” meant a standalone fence facing the road or a perimeter
enclosure. It was stated that the verbatim community comments available on the Village
website should be reviewed as part of the Board’s ongoing consideration.
Near the conclusion of the discussion, it was summarized that opinions appeared divided
between allowing only partial fencing on major roads, allowing perimeter fencing for
properties on major roads, and remaining undecided. It was stated that staff would need
direction in order to revise the proposed ordinance for further consideration at a future
meeting. The Board requested that staff continue refining the policy language with the
Village consultant and return with revised draft language. A suggestion was also made that
residents receive additional notice before the next discussion, and it was stated that a news
flash would be issued to encourage public attendance and comment at the next meeting.
No motion was made and no vote was taken on this item.

G. Consideration and Approval of Resolution 2026-07: Authorizing Participation in
the Regional Disposal Program
MOTION: Saldana
SECONDED: Gazis
Mr. Morgan introduced Ordinance 2026-06, which amends Chapter 28 of the Village Code
of Ordinances regarding solid waste. Mr. Morgan explained that the purpose of the
ordinance is to align the Village’s municipal code with the terms and requirements of the
recently approved waste hauling franchise agreement.
Mr. Morgan stated that the amendments are intended to update and formalize regulations
governing the collection, disposal, and handling of solid waste within the Village. Mr.
Morgan explained that the ordinance incorporates provisions related to the authorized
waste hauler, service standards, and compliance requirements consistent with the new
franchise agreement.
Mr. Morgan further stated that the ordinance ensures that the Village maintains a consistent
and enforceable framework for waste collection services, including residential service
expectations, operational requirements for the hauler, and administrative oversight by the
Village. Mr. Morgan noted that the updates are necessary to reflect current practices and
contractual obligations and to ensure that the Village’s code accurately reflects the
structure of the approved waste management program.
Mr. Morgan stated that adoption of the ordinance would provide clarity for residents
regarding service provisions and would support efficient implementation of the waste
hauling program.
Hearing no questions, President Wittenberg asked for a roll call vote.

H. Resolution 2026-08: Authorizing participation in the Suburban Tree Consortium

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

11

Mr. Morgan explained the application was withdrawn. Mr. Veenstra stated that there
was no action needed to withdraw it on the agenda. As such, the Board moved to the
next item.Mr. Morgan presented Resolution 2026-08, authorizing the Village’s
participation in the Suburban Tree Consortium. Mr. Morgan explained that the
Suburban Tree Consortium is a cooperative purchasing program that allows
municipalities to obtain trees and related materials at reduced costs through collective
bidding and procurement.
Mr. Morgan stated that participation in the consortium supports the Village’s ongoing
forestry and tree management efforts, including parkway tree replacement, maintenance
of the urban tree canopy, and implementation of the Village’s forestry plan. Mr.
Morgan noted that participation provides access to a broader selection of tree species,
promotes consistency in quality, and helps ensure competitive pricing through regional
collaboration.
Mr. Morgan explained that the program also supports long-term sustainability goals by
encouraging species diversity and reducing reliance on a limited number of tree types,
which can improve resilience against disease and environmental stressors. Mr. Morgan
stated that the consortium assists municipalities in planning and maintaining a healthy
and balanced tree population.
Mr. Morgan further stated that participation in the consortium does not obligate the
Village to purchase a specific quantity of trees but provides flexibility to procure
materials as needed throughout the year. Mr. Morgan noted that the program is widely
utilized by surrounding communities and is considered a best practice for municipal

Services Agreement for Redevelopment of Sacajawea Park
MOTION: Saldana
SECONDED: Iannacco
Mr. Morgan presented Resolution 2026-09, authorizing the Village President to execute a
professional services agreement for the redevelopment of Sacajawea Park. Mr. Morgan
explained that the agreement is intended to engage a qualified consultant to assist the
Village with planning, design, and development of improvements to the park.
Mr. Morgan stated that the redevelopment of Sacajawea Park is part of the Village’s
ongoing efforts to enhance public spaces and recreational amenities for residents. Mr.
Morgan explained that the professional services agreement would include preparation of
conceptual designs, evaluation of existing park conditions, and development of
recommendations for improvements that align with community needs and long-term
planning goals.
Mr. Morgan stated that the consultant would work with Village staff to assess current site
conditions, including existing infrastructure, accessibility, and usability of the park. Mr.
Morgan further stated that the process would include consideration of potential upgrades
such as improved recreational features, landscaping enhancements, and overall site layout
to better serve residents.
Mr. Morgan explained that the agreement would also include opportunities for community
input as part of the planning process, allowing residents to provide feedback on desired
amenities and priorities for the park. Mr. Morgan stated that incorporating public input is
an important component of the redevelopment effort to ensure that improvements reflect
the needs and preferences of the community.
Mr. Morgan noted that the professional services agreement represents the initial phase of
the redevelopment project and that additional steps, including final design, budgeting, and
construction, would be brought before the Board at future meetings. Mr. Morgan stated
that approval of the resolution would allow the Village to move forward with the planning
and design phase in a timely manner.
Following the presentation, discussion occurred regarding the scope of services to be
performed under the professional services agreement. Board members discussed the
anticipated role of the consultant, including development of conceptual plans, evaluation
of existing park conditions, and preparation of recommendations for future improvements.
Discussion included the importance of ensuring that the consultant’s scope provides
sufficient flexibility to evaluate multiple design options and respond to community
feedback as the project progresses.

maintaining the natural features of the site, incorporating appropriate landscaping, and
ensuring that any improvements are consistent with the Village’s aesthetic and long-term
planning goals.

J. Consideration and Approval of Ordinance 2026-06: Amending Chapter 28 of the
Code of Ordinances Regarding Solid Waste
MOTION: Saldana
SECONDED: Gazis
Mr. Morgan presented Ordinance 2026-06, which amends Chapter 28 of the Village Code
of Ordinances regarding solid waste. Mr. Morgan stated that the ordinance is intended to
align the Village’s municipal code with the provisions of the recently approved waste
hauling franchise agreement. Mr. Morgan explained that updating the code ensures that

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

14

all regulations governing solid waste collection, disposal, and handling are consistent
with the terms of the current agreement.
Mr. Morgan stated that the amendments clarify the role of the authorized waste hauler
and establish updated service standards for residential collection. Mr. Morgan explained
that the ordinance incorporates requirements related to collection schedules, acceptable
waste materials, and operational expectations for the hauler in order to ensure consistent
service delivery throughout the Village.
Mr. Morgan further stated that the ordinance addresses compliance and enforcement
provisions, including ensuring that residents and the authorized hauler adhere to the
established guidelines for waste disposal. Mr. Morgan noted that the updated language
provides clearer administrative authority for the Village to oversee the waste hauling
program and respond to service-related issues as they arise.
Mr. Morgan explained that the ordinance also formalizes provisions related to recycling
and waste management practices consistent with current environmental and regulatory
standards. Mr. Morgan stated that the amendments support efficient and organized waste
collection while promoting responsible disposal practices within the community.
Mr. Morgan stated that adoption of the ordinance would provide clarity to residents
regarding service expectations and ensure that the Village’s code accurately reflects the
structure and requirements of the approved waste management program. Mr. Morgan
noted that the updates are administrative in nature but are necessary to maintain
consistency between the Village Code and the executed franchise agreement.
Following the presentation, Board members discussed the ordinance and its relationship
to the previously approved waste hauling contract in greater detail. Board members
discussed how the amendments to Chapter 28 are intended to codify the operational terms
of the franchise agreement within the Village Code to ensure consistency between
contractual obligations and enforceable municipal regulations. Board members discussed
the importance of having clearly defined standards within the Code so that expectations
for both the authorized waste hauler and residents are uniformly understood and
administered.
Board members discussed the importance of ensuring reliable and consistent waste
collection services for residents, including adherence to established collection schedules,
proper handling of refuse and recyclables, and responsiveness to service issues. Board
members discussed the need for the ordinance to clearly define acceptable practices for
waste disposal and to provide guidance to residents regarding compliance with Village
requirements.
Discussion also included consideration of enforcement mechanisms associated with the
updated code provisions. Board members discussed how incorporating the terms of the
franchise agreement into the Code strengthens the Village’s ability to address service
deficiencies, enforce compliance, and respond to violations when necessary. Board

members discussed the importance of maintaining administrative oversight and ensuring
that both the service provider and residents adhere to the established regulations.
Board members further discussed how the updated provisions will support improved
coordination between the Village and the waste hauler, including addressing service
complaints, monitoring performance, and maintaining accountability under the terms of
the agreement. Discussion reflected general agreement that the ordinance provides a
clearer and more structured framework for waste management operations and will
improve overall service delivery for the community.

PUBLIC COMMENT
John Cochran addressed the Board and stated that the discussion was difficult to follow and
that the complexity of the issue suggested that the original approach of not allowing fences
may have been appropriate. He stated that his interpretation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission’s recommendation was that fencing was intended only along major roadways
and not for side yards or full perimeter fencing. He stated that there was no contemplation of
full perimeter fencing and that the Commission had not recommended changes for interior
properties.
Mr. Cochrane stated that allowing full perimeter fencing along major roads could create a
loophole whereby properties with frontage on those roads could effectively fence their entire
backyard, which would not address the original intent of providing separation from busy
roadways. He questioned whether additional provisions such as expanded dog runs were
necessary and asked whether such proposals were solutions in search of a problem.
Mr. Cochrane further stated that if full perimeter fencing were considered, setbacks should
be required to preserve elements of the community’s character, including wildlife movement.
He questioned how fencing would impact trees and noted that no discussion had occurred
regarding that issue. He stated that none of the residents had chosen to live in surrounding

Board of Trustees Minutes - March 12, 2026

16

communities where fences are common and suggested that this should be considered by the
Board.
Lori Davis addressed the Board and stated that she agreed with the prior comments. Ms.
Davis questioned the purpose of the survey if the Board was not going to follow the
preferences expressed by residents, particularly those living west of Wolf Road. She stated
that residents moved to the Village knowing that fences were not permitted and noted that
the community has a wide variety of lot sizes, ranging from smaller lots to properties over
an acre, and therefore is not a one-size-fits-all community.
Sandy Hayes addressed the Board and stated that she supports fencing along major streets
but does not support enclosing entire properties or allowing interior fences. Ms. Hayes
questioned how dog runs or attached enclosures would be monitored and whether permits
would be required to ensure compliance with any adopted standards.
Joe Cheseri addressed the Board and stated that the proposed changes have the potential to
alter the character of the community. Mr. Cheseri stated that Planning and Zoning
discussions focused on fencing along yards abutting major streets, and that expanding
fencing to interior areas, including dog runs of varying sizes, would change the overall
appearance of the Village. He stated that such changes would result in a loss of the open,
pastoral character of Indian Head Park and lead to the introduction of more enclosed and
structured residential environments.
Tom Davis addressed the Board and described observing deer resting in his backyard during
the winter, stating that the presence of wildlife contributes significantly to the character and
appeal of the community. Mr. Davis stated that any type of fencing would impede the
movement of wildlife and diminish the natural environment. He stated that while fencing
along major roadways may be acceptable, full perimeter fencing would fundamentally
change the Village and make it more similar to neighboring communities. Mr. Davis stated
that such changes would detract from the identity of Indian Head Park as a park-like
environment.

Mr. Morgan reported that the Village will be implementing a high deductible health plan
option for employees, paired with a health savings account, effective July 1. Mr. Morgan
stated that this initiative has been a long-term goal of the Village. Mr. Morgan explained
that the Village’s insurance underwriters analyzed multiple participation scenarios,
including transitions from PPO and HMO plans to the high deductible plan, and that in
each scenario the Village would realize cost savings. Mr. Morgan further stated that the
program will also provide financial benefits to employees and described the change as a
mutually beneficial outcome. Mr. Morgan stated that the Village will provide education
and informational resources to employees to ensure they understand the plan and its
benefits.
Mr. Morgan reported that the Village has initiated work with Vicarious Media, a
communications firm recently approved by the Board. Mr. Morgan stated that an initial
kickoff meeting has been completed and that department-level meetings will be held to
identify communication needs. Mr. Morgan explained that the Village will then establish
regular coordination with the firm to develop messaging and content for public
communication. Mr. Morgan thanked the Board for approving the engagement.
Mr. Morgan reported on several grant initiatives currently underway. Mr. Morgan stated
that staff is working with the Village’s tree consultant to apply for a ComEd rain garden
grant to support the development of a rain garden at Blackhawk Park and address drainage
concerns. Mr. Morgan further reported that the Village has applied for federal funding
through Congressman Casten’s office to support water main improvements identified in
the Village’s five-year plan.
Mr. Morgan also reported that the Village is applying for a ComEd energy efficiency grant
for electronic display signage at Village Hall. Mr. Morgan stated that the proposed signage
would consist of informational display boards at the front and rear entrances of the building
rather than large-scale signage.
Mr. Morgan reported that staff is preparing an application for an Invest in Cook
transportation grant to support roadway improvement projects within the Village.
Mr. Morgan additionally addressed an issue related to the waste hauling program, noting
that the Village identified approximately 18 households that do not have accounts with the
authorized waste hauler and instead had been using a sticker-based system. Mr. Morgan
stated that this arrangement will no longer be permitted under the new franchise agreement.
Mr. Morgan further stated that staff is reviewing the list to determine which households
remain in the Village and will present options to the Board at a future meeting regarding
how to address these situations.

Authorizing

The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of a resolution authorizing the
Village of Indian Head Park to participate in the State of Illinois Department of Central
Management Services Joint Purchasing Program for the procurement of bulk rock salt
for the 2026–2027 winter season. This resolution authorizes the Village President and

Each year, the Village procures road salt for winter maintenance operations.
Participation in the State’s Joint Purchase Program allows the Village to:
●​ Leverage bulk purchasing power for lower, more stable pricing
●​ Ensure timely and secured delivery of salt before winter
●​ Comply with public procurement requirements under the Illinois Municipal Code
The State contract process begins in spring to lock in pricing and quantities well ahead
of the winter season.
The final unit price per ton will be established after the State awards the master contract
later this year. Funds for road salt will be included in the FY 2025–2026 Public Works
operating budget. Historical expenditures have ranged from approximately $15,000 to
$25,000 depending on the severity of the winter and associated salt usage.

Date:​ April 7, 2026
Subject:​ Resolution 2026-13 MCAT – Major Case Assistance Team
The Village of Indian Head Park is currently a participant in a long-standing mutual aid
arrangement among several near west suburban municipalities. The attached
Intergovernmental Agreement formalizes and modernizes that relationship by
establishing the Major Case Assistance Team ("MCAT"), a multi-jurisdictional task force
focused on deterring organized criminal activity and providing emergency mutual aid
and investigative services.
The Agreement replaces prior mutual aid arrangements and creates a structured
framework for coordinated law enforcement operations, intelligence sharing, and joint
investigations among participating municipalities. It supersedes and replaces previous
mutual aid agreements among the participating municipalities.
Key Provisions of the Agreement
●​ Establishes the Major Case Assistance Team (MCAT) as a multi-jurisdictional
task force
●​ Provides for emergency mutual aid and coordinated investigative services
●​ Enhances intelligence sharing and joint enforcement efforts related to organized
criminal activity
●​ Establishes governance through a Board of Directors consisting of participating
police chiefs
●​ Requires each municipality to assign personnel and maintain responsibility for its
own employees, equipment, and liability
●​ Includes provisions for cost sharing through annual dues and supplemental fees
as approved by the MCAT Board
Participation in MCAT requires payment of annual dues and potential supplemental fees
as determined by the MCAT Board. Each municipality remains responsible for its own
personnel costs, equipment, and insurance obligations. These items are included in the
proposed FY 2027 Budget.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2026-13 authorizing execution of the
Intergovernmental Agreement establishing the Major Case Assistance Team (MCAT).

dissolve, then this Agreement shall be terminated as of an effective date to be determined
by the Board.
B. Upon such decision to terminate this Agreement, and after payment of all debts, all assets
and all liabilities of the MCAT, any remaining funds shall be distributed among those
Participating Municipalities who were active members of the MCAT at the time of
termination or dissolution, on the same allocation formula that was used to determine the
most recent annual dues (the “allocation formula”). The Participating Municipalities shall
share all costs pertaining to debts and liabilities of the MCAT and any other wind down
costs associated with terminating the operations of the MCAT and the dissolution of the
MCAT based on the Board-approved allocation formula. Participating Municipalities
shall not be allowed to withdraw from this Agreement for purposes of avoiding their
portion of the payment of debts and liabilities of the MCAT and other wind down costs.
C. Upon such decision to terminate this Agreement, the Participating Municipalities,
through the Board, shall cooperate to wind down the MCAT as follows:
(1)

(2)

(3)

The fixed assets of the MCAT shall be declared surplus property by the Board and
sold by auction or sealed bid or as allowed by applicable law after at least a prior
thirty (30) calendar day public notice is issued. The proceeds from the sale of the
fixed assets and all cash, less the payment of all debts and liabilities and other wind
down costs, shall be divided among the active Participating Municipalities at the
time of dissolution based on the allocation formula.
If the debts and liabilities and other wind down costs exceed the proceeds of the
sold assets, payment of the remaining debts and liabilities and other wind down
costs shall be made from the collection of supplemental fees (i.e., additional
monetary contributions), based on the Board-approved allocation formula, payable
by all active Participating Municipalities, at the time dissolution is first considered.
Participating Municipalities shall not be allowed to withdraw from this Agreement
for purposes of avoiding their portion of the payment of such debts and liabilities
and other wind down costs.
All public records, individual files and documentation of MCAT shall be retained
and then discarded in accordance with the regulations of the Local Records Act,
upon approval of the Local Records Commission, or shall be distributed to the
applicable Participating Municipality which has jurisdiction of the subject matter of
the file or documentation for retention, without charge or offset.

SECTION 13: Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective on the date of the
acknowledgement letter sent to each of the Participating Municipalities by the Board.

To:​
President Wittenberg and the Board of Trustees
From:​ Steven Weatherford, Interim Chief of Police
Date:​ April 9, 2026
Subject:​ Resolution 2026-14: Authorizing and Intergovernmental Agreement with the ​
​
Illinois State Police
Recommended Motion: Move to approve a resolution authorizing the Village of
Indian Head Park to join the Illinois State Police (ISP) Violent Crime Intelligence
Task Force (VCITF) and apply for a grant to fund police department activities
related to VCITF participation.​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Staff is working with Administrative Consulting Specialists to submit a grant application
to the Illinois State Police (ISP) Violent Crime Intelligence Task Force (VCITF) to
support efforts to combat gun violence and enhance public safety. The grant would fund
participation in a statewide, multi-jurisdictional task force focused on gun violence,
trafficking, and related crimes.
The Village is requesting $3,500 to support personnel, training, equipment, and data
analysis associated with participation. No local match is required. Participation would
enhance intelligence sharing, enforcement efforts, and compliance with Illinois laws,
including the Gun Trafficking Act and FOID revocation requirements. It would also
provide officers access to the ISP Law Enforcement Portal and ATF E-Trace, improving
firearm tracing, identification of trafficking patterns, and investigative outcomes.
Staff participation would be on an overtime basis, not to exceed the grant award, and
funds would also support required training and reporting. The grant would strengthen
the Village’s role in coordinated statewide enforcement efforts and deliver measurable
public safety benefits.
If approved, participation would begin July 1, 2026, and continue until terminated by
either party with 30 days’ notice.
Staff respectfully request adoption of the attached Resolution of Authorization to allow
submission of the application by the April 10, 2026 deadline.

● Safety for children and pets
● Privacy and security
● Property rights
Common Concerns:
● Preservation of Village character
● Aesthetic impacts
● Fairness to existing residents
Geographic Trend:
● Lower support in single-family areas (west of Wolf Rd)

MAJOR/ARTERIAL ROADS
What we are trying to solve
●
●

Safety concerns for homes along high-traffic roads
Balancing protection with preserving the Village’s open/wooded character

Key Policy Concepts (Summary)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

6.
7.

Fences would be allowed only on properties along major roads (e.g., Wolf, Plainfield, Willow Springs,
Joliet, 65th)
Fences must be open-style (black wrought iron aluminum or similar) to maintain visibility and aesthetics
Height limits: generally up to 4–5 feet depending on location
Must be set back from the roadway and located on private property
Gate safety requirements:
○ Cannot swing into sidewalks/roads
○ Must allow emergency access
○ Must be set back to avoid blocking traffic
Key policy question for the Board:
○ Fence only the yard facing the road
○ OR allow fencing of the entire property (full perimeter)
Goal: Improve safety without losing neighborhood character

FENCES IN NEIGHBORHOODS (INTERIOR LOTS)
What we heard from the Board
●
●

Preserve the Village’s open, natural character
Provide reasonable safety options for children and pets

Proposed Approach: “Area Fences” (Not Full Perimeter)
1.
2.
3.

4.
5.

6.

Fences would be partial and located in the backyard only
Must be attached to the home (similar to a deck or patio enclosure)
Intended for safety uses:
○ Children
○ Pets
These are not full-yard or perimeter fences
Size would be limited based on yard size:
○ R-1: 25-35% of the rear yard, 10-foot side setback.
○ R-1A, R-1B, R-2: 40-50% of the rear yard, 5-foot setback.
Based on resident feedback requesting safe backyard areas

KEY DECISIONS NEEDED FROM THE BOARD
Busy Roads
●

Full property fencing vs. limited to road-facing yard

Neighborhoods
●
●
●

Allow area fences only
OR allow full backyard fences
OR no change (status quo)

Technical Standards
●

Finalize:
○ % of yard allowed for area fences
○ Setbacks from property lines
○ Gate setback distance
