Development News from the latest meeting
Feasibility Study Approved for Eastfield House Senior and Family Activity Center
The board approved a vendor contract for RFP 26-016 with Williams Architects of Itasca, Illinois, to conduct a feasibility study for the Eastfield House Senior and Family Activity Center. The study will explore renovation or replacement options for the former Riviera Country Club property. The contract price will not exceed $109,169.50. While some trustees questioned the cost of the study itself, given previous concerns about spending on renovations, the board recognized the need for a plan to determine the best use of the property and communicate options to residents. Trustee Milani voted against the motion.
Orland Park Proclaims July as Parks and Recreation Month
The board recognized July as Parks and Recreation Month with a proclamation. Mayor Jim Dodge presented the proclamation, thanking Ray and his staff for their contributions. The proclamation highlighted the integral role of parks and recreation in enhancing community economic prosperity through increased property values, tax base expansion, and tourism, as well as crime reduction. It also emphasized the importance of parks as natural resources for ecological beauty and opportunities for residents to connect with nature and each other. The village's extensive park system, with approximately four times the national average of parks, was noted as a point of community pride.
Engineering Proposal for 109th Ave Annexation Tabled by Orland Park Board
The board discussed the 109th Avenue annexation, water main, and sanitary sewer engineering proposal (Item L). Initially included in the consent agenda, Trustee Milani moved to change the agenda order to place this item after a specific section related to development services. The motion to change the agenda order passed unanimously. Later, the board also moved to table this item along with the main 109th Avenue annexation discussion, indicating a need for further review and resident engagement.
Orland Park Board Tables 109th Ave Annexation After Resident Concerns
The board discussed an ordinance for annexing territory at 109th Avenue and 153rd Street. Residents voiced concerns about potential financial burdens, taxes, and loss of local control, presenting a petition against annexation. Staff explained the village's strategic annexation program and the rationale behind considering this area due to issues with short-term rentals and the need for consistent municipal services. The board ultimately decided to table the item to allow for further discussion and clarification with residents, aiming for a negotiated annexation rather than a forced one. Item L, related to engineering proposals for this annexation, was also tabled.
