2026-11-05 Village of Villa Park Historical Preservation Commission

The Village of Villa Park Historical Preservation Commission met on November 5, 2026, to discuss potential commission projects and 2027 meeting dates. Members voted to recommend that the Village Board consider a commission-led fundraiser at the Fox River Valley Trolley Museum to support the trolley car project; a late-winter or early-spring event was discussed, with advance ticket sales as a possible source of proceeds. No budget, spending authorization, contract, or vendor selection was approved. The commission also discussed a low-cost walking tour of historic homes and voted to recommend exploring the idea with the Village Board.

Members discussed representing the commission at the town hall meeting and possible outreach materials, including reusing existing postcards or considering trolley keychains; no purchase was authorized. The commission approved option two for its 2027 meeting dates. No procurement activity was identified.
