of Allegiance. Gentlemen, please remove

16
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:27,440
» I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the

17
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:33,480
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

18
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,480
justice for all.

19
00:01:34,976 --> 00:01:36,996
» [clears throat]

20
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,240
» Next item on here is what's called the
unanimous consent agenda.

21
00:01:42,181 --> 00:01:45,800
» [clears throat]
>> All items on the consent agenda are

22
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,840
considered to be routine in nature and
will be enacted in one single motion.

23
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,280
There's no separate discussion of these
items unless one [clears throat] of the

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,520
trustees so requests. In that event, the
item will be removed from the consent

25
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,800
agenda and will be considered
separately. At this time, I ask if any

26
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,760
of the board members would like to
remove any items from the consent

27
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,760
agenda.

28
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,600
Hearing none, can I get a motion and a
second to approve, please?

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,200
» So moved.
>> Second.

30
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,320
» We have a motion and a second. We're
going to go through these items so that

31
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,880
those in the audience, those who will be
watching at home later or uh

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,840
can watch on the our YouTube channel,
uh know what your board is voting on. Uh

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,800
these complete packets, the hundreds of
pages of them, are available on our

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,200
website, uh frankfortil.org.
So, the first item was the approval of

35
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,320
the minutes from the regular meeting on
August 3rd of 2026. Since there were no

36
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,160
objections, we'll go to the next item,
which is the approval of the bills and

37
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,640
go to Trustee Savaria.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Bills tonight uh

Uh this figure is comprised of the
general corporate fund at $379,131.34,

40
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:01,680
the motor fuel fund, which had nothing

00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,680
and then the sewer and water extension
fund at $504,969.30.

44
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:20,360
And those are the bills.
>> All right, thank you. Uh we have a

45
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,760
couple items from the Committee of the
Whole and uh for the first one, uh we'll

46
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,760
go to uh Trustee Vergott.
>> Thank you, Mayor. First item is Pfeiffer

47
00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:31,360
Road multi-use path. The village is
advancing plans to construct a multi-use

48
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,560
path along the east side of Pfeiffer
Road extending from Laraway Road to Pine

49
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Ridge Drive.
This project will be constructed in

50
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:43,000
conjunction with the proposed multi-use
path along Pfeiffer Road from Laraway

51
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,720
Road to Sauk Trail and along the north
side of Laraway Road from 80th Avenue to

52
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,239
Pfeiffer Road.
Together, these projects supports the

53
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,120
village's long-term goal of improving
connectivity between neighborhoods, the

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,360
Old Plank Trail,
and the large regional trail network.

55
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Village staff has been working to secure
the necessary public right-of-way to

56
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:06,440
accommodate the path. Frankfort School
District 157C

57
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,120
owns a vacant parcel on the east side of
Pfeiffer Road, south of Laraway Road,

58
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,959
and has agreed to convey the necessary
right-of-way to the village for

59
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:17,880
construction of the path. Pursuant to
Illinois Local Government Property

60
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,600
Transfer Act, the village must formally
request the transfer of the property by

61
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:26,680
ordinance. The school district has also
required that the village enter into a

62
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:32,560
property transfer agreement establishing
the terms of its conveyance.

63
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,600
At its July 13th, 2026 meeting, the
Committee of the Whole reviewed the

64
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,560
proposed property transfer and related
agreements and recommended approval of

65
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,360
the property transfer request, the
property transfer agreement, and the

66
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:48,000
dedications necessary to construct the
multi-use path.

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,640
We have four motions before us,
and those four motions are to accept the

68
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,440
recommendation of the Committee of the
Whole, waive the first and second

69
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,880
readings, and pass an ordinance
requesting the transfer of property from

70
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,600
Frankfort School District 157C to the
Village of Frankfort pursuant to the

71
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Illinois Local Government Property
Transfer Act. Next motion is to accept

72
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,919

00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Frankfort. Next motion is to accept the

» Uh thank you, Mr. Mayor. So, this item
is the sanitary manhole rehabilitation

88
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:25,520
project. As part of the Village's 2025
sanitary sewer evaluation survey, 215

89
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:30,400
manholes were inspected to identify
defects that could have allowed inflow

90
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:36,200
and infiltration into the sanitary sewer
system during wet weather events.

91
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Of those inspected, 154 manholes were
identified as requiring rehabilitation.

92
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,400
The Village issued a request for
proposals for the rehabilitation work

93
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,280
and received proposals from five
contractors.

94
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:52,960
At its August 3rd, 2026 meeting, the

95
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,240
proposals and forwarded recommendation

>> Okay, thank you.

00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,760
So, [clears throat] those are all the
items on the consent agenda. We have a

169
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,720
motion and a second and we'll go to our

170
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,160

171
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,600
» Trustee Barelli?
>> Yes.

172
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,240
» Trustee Rossi?
>> Yes.

173
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,120
» Trustee Leddin?
>> Yes.

174
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,680
» Trustee Savaria?
>> Yes.

175
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,640
» Trustee Ergonis?
>> Yes.

176
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:02,120
» Motion carries.
>> All right, thank you. Uh next item on

177
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,680
here before we go to uh Trustee Savaria
for this

178
00:12:03,128 --> 00:12:06,920
» [clears throat]
>> uh there are uh

179
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,440
couple things. There's uh going to be a
total of four individual motions that'll

180
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,960
be read.
Uh the first two motions because they uh

181
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,720
they passed only with a three to one
vote uh they'll require 2/3 of the uh

182
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:25,200
uh
trustees to vote, which is uh four

183
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,800
trustees must vote in favor of those
items, motion one and two, in order for

184
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:33,040
that to pass.
Um because of that uh plan commission

185
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,520
recommendation, the mayor does not vote
even in case of a tie.

186
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:42,360
Then on items three and four, uh those
were both uh denied by the plan

187
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,600
commission. The recommendation comes to
the board

188
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,360
and uh they're written in the
affirmative

189
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,960
um but those ones uh
also require uh four votes in order to

190
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:58,400
overturn and uh the mayor does not vote
in these situations. So, uh we'll go to

191
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:03,400
uh Trustee Savaria.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The next item is

192
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:09,320
Corazon Restaurant. Applicant Joe G.
Tirumala Reddy proposes to operate

193
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:13,920
Corazon Restaurant at 10211 West Lincoln
Highway, the former location of Simply

194
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Smokin Restaurant. To accommodate the
proposed business, the applicant is

195
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:22,600
requesting approval of a special use
permit for a full-service restaurant

196
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,640
with liquor sales, a special use permit
for outdoor seating, a special use

197
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:30,600
permit for a drive-up service window,
and a major change to the Brookside

198
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Commons Office Center Planned Unit
Development.

199
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:39,200
The request requested major PUD change
would allow the interior and exterior

200
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:44,000
improvements in the property including
reconstruction of the deteriorated

201
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:49,080
entrance tower and replacement of the
existing EIFS

202
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:52,840
facade with dark gray brick veneer to
enhance the building's appearance and

203
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:58,160
address the deteriorated
condition of the existing exterior.

204
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:02,280
At its June 11, 2026 public hearing, the
Plan Commission reviewed the project and

205
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:07,200
recommended approval of the Village
Board of the major PUD change and the

206
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:12,040
special use permit for a full-service
restaurant with liquor sales

207
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:16,000
by a vote of 3-1. The Plan Commission
considered a motion to recommend

208
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:22,040
approval of the special use permit for
outdoor seating. Motion failed by a vote

209
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:25,760
of 1-3 citing concerns regarding limited
parking availability within the

210
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:30,600
development and additional parking
demand that may be generated by the

211
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:34,720
outdoor dining patrons. As a result, the
Commission recommendation is for a

212
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,760
denial of the request. The Commission
considered a motion to recommend

213
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:45,240
approval of the special use permit for a
drive-up service window. The motion

214
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:50,720
failed by a vote of 0-4 citing concerns
regarding potential traffic concerns,

215
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:55,400
congestion resulting in recommendation
for denial. And I believe there is four

216
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,120
motions here and uh Mayor we're going to
vote on each one individually, right?

217
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,200
» Uh if you do the motion then we'll ask
for a second.

218
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,920
» Yep. Um so, the first motion is to
accept the Plan Commission

219
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,360
recommendation, waive the first and
second reading, and pass an ordinance

220
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:14,360
approving major change to the lot four
of the Brookside Commons Office Center

221
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:18,839
Planned Unit Development to permit
changes to the building's

222
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:24,200
exterior for the property located at
10211 West Lincoln Highway in accordance

of drink, dine, social on the any of the

00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,600
» Second.
>> We have a motion and a second. Is there

[clears throat]
Um it's sponsored by the Chamber of

321
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:52,120
Commerce, this uh award-winning event. I
think this year they came in number

322
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:55,680
three in the country. Um
which is pretty amazing and it's an

323
00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:00,400
all-volunteer run event.
Uh this award-winning event features uh

300 artisan booths, live entertainment,
a food court, carnival rides, uh a

325
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,360
great parade on Sunday, and much, much
more.

326
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:12,520
The festivities, again, they begin with
the carnival that's located on White

327
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:17,920

from 5:00 until 9:00. There is also a

00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,280

Residents may bring up to two copy paper
size boxes of loose paperwork per

This is a great opportunity to safely

00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,080
dispose of sensitive
documents while helping to protect your

358
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:19,640
personal information. And there is no
limit to the number of scammers that are

359
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:23,880
out there. You have to be very careful
to protect your information. So this is

360
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:27,400
just another service that we want to
offer to our residents.

361
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,080
There are plenty of opportunities to get
out and enjoy our summer in Frankfort

362
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,120
downtown. We have Cruise in Frankfort
every Monday night. It's going on right

363
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,320
now.
It'll go through September 21st.

364
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:42,520
It's [snorts] from 5:00 until 8:00 in
downtown Frankfort. Our award-winning

365
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Country Market continues every Sunday
through October 25th. And that's from

366
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,200

369
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:04,080

favorites from 6:30 until 8:00 p.m.

370
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:07,560
We will be working on the
the trail. I'll be seal coating it. It's

371
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,000
been delayed a little bit because of the
weather. It's supposed [clears throat]

372
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:16,120
to start now, weather permitting. It'll
start tomorrow, Tuesday, August 18th.

373
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,760
It'll take about a week to do the work.
Um

374
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,120
I want to thank everybody who came out
for the the night out against crime. It

375
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,760
was a great turnout. Our police did a
great job and I think

376
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:31,560
our residents really enjoyed
getting a chance to meet the people that

377
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,680
serve and protect here. And also our
partners that came out with the

378
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:38,440
Touch-a-Truck.
The fire department was there, too. And

379
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,280
it's just a really great night and we
want to thank everyone for coming out.

380
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:44,600
And the last little bit, we're we're
definitely [clears throat]

381
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,280
thanking our residents for their
patience. Um

382
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:53,080
you know, ComEd has
had a very difficult uh

383
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:57,040
difficult job. They're this last storm
over August 11th and 12th.

384
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:01,760
Um
They're at They're at 99% restoration at

385
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,120
this point. Uh it's one of the largest
restoration efforts that they've had all

386
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:11,200
year.
They brought in uh 4,500 personnel,

387
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:15,687
contractors, and uh mutual aid crews in
support and response after this the

388
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:19,080
destructive winds, the tornadoes,
>> [clears throat]

389
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,120
» and the repeated uh severe weather uh
that just damaged the electrical

390
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:27,120
infrastructure
and uh disrupted service uh to over uh

391
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,520
41,000
customers.

392
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,400
And um
they they've done an amazing job. The

393
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,960
crews have come in.
Uh and I were just in

394
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:41,200
Indiana the other day and they're uh
they're still without power and they

395
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:44,080
expect uh Indiana maybe another 2 to 3
weeks before power is restored over

396
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:47,880
there.
So, our prayers, our thoughts are

397
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,080
definitely with them and uh
um

398
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,760
that's a rough time. Uh again,
we

399
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,480
these were difficult times. We we thank
our residents for their patience. We

400
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:02,400
thank all of our crews, our staff, uh
our elected officials as well for

401
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:06,480
getting out there and helping and um
you know, let's hope uh we we have a

402
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,760
nicer summer the rest of the way. That's
it for the mayor's report and we'll go

403
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,800
to our clerk, Katie Schubert, for board
comments.

404
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,680
» Thank you.
>> I have two things tonight. One is our

405
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:21,040
next Village Board meeting,
um as well as Committee of the Whole

406
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:25,280
meeting, will be Monday, September 14th
at 6:00 p.m. here at

407
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,760
Village Hall. Um
noting that because of the Labor Day

408
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,520
holiday, it's a different week than
usual and it is the only meeting in

409
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:38,520
September. So,
um second is we are looking ahead to the

410
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:46,360
consolidated election that will be held
on Tuesday, April 6th, 2027.

411
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:50,280
Um there will be three Village Trustee
um

412
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:54,760
positions on the ballot and each will
serve for four for a four-year term. So,

413
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:59,480
nominating petition packets will be
available beginning Tuesday, August 25th

414
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:07,520
here at Village Hall.
Um and candidates may begin circling

415
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,520
nominating petitions on August 25th. Um

416
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:15,240
potential candidates are encouraged to
read the 2027 candidates guide prepared

417
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:20,960
by the Illinois State Board of Elections
at elections.il.gov.

418
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:24,240
Um and then those papers will be
collected in November and more

419
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:29,720
information will come about that, but if
you have questions, um you may

420
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:34,280
contact Deputy Clerk Teresa Cork here at
Village Hall or um again, that's

421
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,040
elections.il.gov.
And that's all I had tonight.

422
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,520
» All right, thank you. So, they they
moved up those dates

423
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,760
uh from what they've done in the past
compared to what they've done.

424
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,680
» A couple weeks.
Okay.

425
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:50,040
Um Trustee Leddin.
>> Um thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um

426
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,200
it's hard to believe that the next time
we'll be back together will be after

427
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,680
Labor Day.
You know, summer goes by way, way too

428
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:01,160
fast. Uh Night Out Against Crime, I
would echo what the mayor said. It was a

429
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,680
wonderful event. Uh the police, fire
department, everybody did a great job.

430
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Kids had a wonderful time there. And I
would like to thank the village

431
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:16,200
and the police, fire, and public works
especially for getting us through

432
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:21,040
another post-storm period because it's
been pretty rough and everybody's done a

433
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,480
phenomenal job. Thank you very much.
That's all I have.

434
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,960
» Thank you. Uh Trustee Savard.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'm going to

435
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:30,960
piggyback on what Trustee Leddin said.
Um public works has been doing a

436
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:35,880
phenomenal job. I think they're still
working overtime trying to clean up

437
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:40,040
everything. It it, you know, every time
they think they have it cleaned up, we

438
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:45,160
get hit again. So, um they've done a
great job and and thank you to them. And

439
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:50,800
then, hard to believe it's uh Labor Day
coming up and summer's almost over. So,

440
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:55,360
if you're going to be uh at Fall Fest on
maybe Thursday or Worst Fest, as always,

441
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:59,840
Trustee Borelli will be buying drinks.
So, you know, come out and see us.

442
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,975
That's all I have.
Trustee Regoni.

443
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,520
» Thank you, Mayor. Um first, I'd like
[clears throat] to point out that the

444
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:10,360
item that I read this evening is just
another step on um the whole bike plan

445
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:16,120
and that portion of the rail line on the
south. Uh what the what I read was that

446
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,720
the bike path going south on Laraway
from the west side of Stone Creek. Um I

447
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,520
know that over the years we've had
number of residents asking about these

448
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,600
connections. This was a connection that
wasn't originally thought of, but this

449
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:31,400
village board um thought that it was
important to provide another connection.

450
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:35,840
So, I'd like to thank um 157C for their
cooperation on getting that dedication

451
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,760
and easements to us. Also, I'm going to
echo, I feel like it's Groundhog Day. I

452
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:43,880
know myself with the storm lost power
for a number of days um as well as then

453
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,440
with public works being right back out
there again. So, I'd like to take a

454
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,680
moment to thank them as well as staff.
I'd like to thank our residents for

455
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:55,560
their patience as public works now goes
back out again and um cleans up. I know

456
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,000
that there's still some areas even out
today, they were still gathering trees.

457
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:03,800
So, I can ask you for your continued
patience as we begin to get back to I

458
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:08,080
don't like to use the word normal, but
but get back to um cleaning up and

459
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,680
hopefully hopefully it's blue skies from
this on out. So, thank you.

460
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,280
» Excellent.
Uh Trustee Pietro.

461
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:18,440
» Thank you, Mayor.
Um I too, it's worth echoing our public

462
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:22,840
works, our police, our fire, our village
administrative. I mean, to be hit with

463
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,760
multiple storms like this has definitely
rocked everybody. Um and once we had it

464
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,840
all cleaned up and shiny, it's back at
it again. So, I'm looking forward to

465
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,440
seeing Frank come down my street, but
I'll know that we are in the home

466
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:37,840
stretch of the secondary uh pickup, but
thank you to everybody involved.

467
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Um I cannot believe that we are at Labor
Day. Fall Fest is an event not to be

468
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,920
missed. I mean, there's nothing more
Frankfort than Fall Fest. I can't wait

469
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:51,600
to see all of the volunteers that are
yellow shirts and all of our visitors

470
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:55,960
coming to enjoy our beautiful town. So,
get out there and enjoy our wonderful,

471
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:59,360
you know, homegrown fest that has just
brought so much joy to this town and to

472
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:04,320
the people who get to enjoy it year on
year. Um and because it is almost Labor

473
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:07,880
Day, it means that we are almost to back
to school. So, I just want to wish all

474
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,040
of our teachers and our residents and
our students a really great school year

475
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,880
ahead. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Uh Trustee Burley.

476
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,800
» Thank you, Mayor.
Again, you know, thanks and shout out to

477
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:23,080
the the village uh administration,
police, but then specifically the public

478
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:26,680
works I've had uh just a
a handful of people that have come up to

479
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:30,920
me and just asked me to pass along their
their thanks and and gratitude to

480
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,960
to all of you and and how quickly the
public works is working to to clear the

481
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:39,280
roads. I think it's been amazing given
what we've gone through over the last

482
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,120
few weeks. So, uh the residents do
appreciate it. But and so it can't be

483
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,160
said enough.
Um

484
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:49,440
you know, the ice cream social that's a
that's a big deal. So, if if you're

485
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,640
someone who goes annually or you've
never been there, you should definitely

486
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,160
go. It's it's a great time, free ice
cream. I don't know if the police are

487
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:59,640
scooping this year. No, they are, great.
Another great reason to go.

488
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:04,120
Um and then obviously the pie eating
contest is uh just one of my favorite

489
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:07,640
things about Frankfort. So, uh I don't
participate. I'm I'm no good at it, but

490
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:11,240
I got a wife and a daughter that are
really good and

491
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:15,440
past champions and they're looking to
to give it another run this year. So,

492
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:18,880
that'll be exciting. Um
Uh Lincoln-Way East football starts this

493
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:25,120
Friday. They moved up the season, so
they're opening against Brother Rice. Uh

494
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:29,640
that's a tough it's a tough opener, but
it's it's here in Frankfort.

495
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:34,200
And if anyone wants to
pre-game, uh get some food ahead of

496
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,640
time, stop by my house. Uh
There'll be a number of Brother Rice

497
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,880
fans there. I'm not one of them, but
unfortunately I'm I'm real Well, not

498
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,480
unfortunately, but for better or for
worse, I'm related to several of them,

499
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,560
so they'll be at my house and then we're
going to head over there and uh

500
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,240
with different
all of my East gear on, they'll have

501
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,640
their Ice gear on. It'll be a good time,
so we'll go East.

502
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,960
Um
looking forward to Fall Fest. Um

503
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,040
it's
favorite time of the year, so uh let's

504
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,040
just pray for good weather. I know that
I know that

505
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,720
everyone's going to have everything
picked up in the in a couple weeks, so

506
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:07,040
the town's just going to look completely
different and just beautiful. Uh

507
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Um so I'm looking forward to it.
And I think that's all I have. Thank

508
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,720
you.
>> Okay. Uh Trustee Rossi.

509
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,440
» Thank you.
Um again, Fall Fest. All I can say is

510
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,680
I'm looking forward to seeing so many of
our residents in attendance. You get to

511
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,680
visit with people you don't see all the
time and it's a great event. The ice

512
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,600
cream social, police and fire are
serving,

513
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:33,720
which will be fun.
And the last thing I have is we talked

514
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:37,920
about public works, but I watched today
public works had a street and they were

515
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:41,440
taking the trees down in downtown and we
actually have our director of public

516
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:47,520
works, the assistant directing traffic
to keep those guys safe. I think that

517
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:49,560
says a lot about their department.
Thank you.

518
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,200
» Thank you.
Uh

519
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,120
that's it for board comments tonight. Do
we have any other business to come

520
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,000
before the board tonight?
Okay.

521
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,560
Uh this is the
item on the agenda called public

522
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,600
comment.
Uh uh

523
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,480
Anyone in the audience would like to
come forward and make a comment before

524
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:09,320
the board?
Okay. Um you can come forward.

525
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,240
Understand this is public comment, it's
not a back and forth. It's not

526
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:17,159
testimony.
>> I I I understand. Um we came in a little

527
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:22,440
late due to traffic, but um we kind of
missed the voting. I'm the attorney uh

528
00:34:19,720 --> 00:34:27,000
working with Jodi on um
to remind

529
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:31,600
ready on uh the Cora restaurant. So I
know everybody's voted. I we missed the

530
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:36,040
beginning of the voting on the um
ordinances,

531
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:42,639
but um from what I understand, the
outdoor space and the

532
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:47,320
drive-up window were voted no.
So, I just wanted to get some feedback

533
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:54,120
on
what can we do to improve the situation

534
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:58,800
so that we can get a yes next time? Cuz
I from what I understand, we don't have

535
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:03,920
an opportunity to appeal the decision of
the trustees and the votes. So,

536
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:09,280
we'd like to move forward with the
restaurant as we have it now, but

537
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:14,200
I
just wanted to get some feedback as to

538
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:19,200
what would be um
something that we can do to improve the

539
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:23,000
situation with the
uh two outstanding issues.

540
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,200
» Okay.
Um

541
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,880
again, this is not a back and forth, so
you should contact Mike Schwartz with

542
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,760
the community development.
And that's the appropriate place to

543
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:37,800
discuss a reapplication.
>> Um okay, that was with the commission.

544
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,120
» That's correct.
>> Okay.

545
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,080
Okay. Well, thank you.
>> Okay, thank you.

546
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,720
Anyone else in the audience would like
to make a

547
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:49,200
public comment for the board today?
Okay.

548
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,600
Hearing nothing further, can I get a
motion and a second to adjourn?

549
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,480
» So
>> Second.

550
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,320
» A motion and a second, all those in
favor say aye.

551
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,720
Meeting is adjourned. Thank you,
everyone.
