The Village of Lisle Committee of the Whole meeting held on July 20, 2026, focused primarily on two procurement-related discussions. First, the board considered hiring Hansen Professional Services Incorporated for $56,865 to provide expert advisory services regarding the potential acquisition and valuation of a private utility system serving some village residents. The discussion emphasized the need for a thorough, transparent evaluation including legal and engineering expertise, with community input encouraged. The board expressed support for proceeding with the contract, noting budgeted funds for the fiscal year 2026-27. Second, the board discussed restoring a tuition reimbursement program for non-bargaining village employees as part of recruitment and retention efforts.

Board members supported the initiative, highlighting its value for employee development and competitiveness. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session for personnel matters.
