2026-08-17 Village of Lisle Board Meeting

The Village of Lisle Board held a regular meeting on August 17, 2026, which included significant discussion and public comment regarding a proposed ordinance for the Kennedy Academy's expansion into the Corporate Lakes Phase 1 planned unit development. The board reviewed the special use permit application and departures requested by the school, with extensive input from supporters and opponents, including concerns about traffic, property values, and compatibility with the business park. The board ultimately voted against approving the ordinance, upholding the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation for denial. Additionally, the board approved a resolution to retain Hanson Professional Services Inc. for professional advisory services related to water and sewer utilities, with an increased budget of $101,715 to include community engagement and legal review. The board also approved an amendment to the employee handbook to reestablish a tuition reimbursement program for non-bargaining employees. Other topics included public safety and storm response acknowledgments, and a future discussion on reducing community fees to improve affordability.
