# Village of Riverside Board of Trustees Regular Meeting 10-01-26

The Village of Riverside Board of Trustees regular meeting was held October 1, 2026. The board received Williams Architects’ final conceptual presentation for a proposed combined public safety facility. The presentation reviewed space needs, site and design options, and estimated project costs; discussion centered on a roughly $29.9 million project ceiling, contingencies, financing interest, and how costs would be communicated to residents. No construction contract was awarded and the facility remains subject to a voter referendum. The village also described public tours and future community meetings about the proposal. Separately, the board approved the consent agenda, including the voucher list and a resolution waiving competitive bidding and authorizing the village manager to issue various FY2026 purchase orders; no amounts or vendors for those orders were specified.

The board approved a resolution supporting pedestrian-safety improvements and opposing railroad grade-separation alternatives that would close roadways or restrict village access. It also approved a resolution setting the estimated 2026 real estate tax levy and announced a public hearing. Flock license-plate cameras were discussed during public comment, with residents presenting differing views; the board scheduled further discussion for October 15, and no renewal decision was made at this meeting. The board also discussed parking-sticker costs, but took no action on that comment.
