[3:08] » Good evening, board. Good evening, residents. Uh, Connie, I'd like you to
[3:11] invite you up.
[3:18] Connie joined the village of Homewood as a utility division supervisor on June
[3:22] 29th, 2026. She brings a strong background in public
[3:26] works and emergency response, most recently serving as with the village of
[3:30] Tinley Park public works department as a utility maintenance worker. During her
[3:34] time there, Connie gained extensive experience with water main repairs,
[3:38] sanitary sewer maintenance, meter replacements, street light repairs, snow
[3:42] operations, and day-to-day operation of pump houses and lift stations.
[3:47] Prior to career with public works, Connie served as a firefighter paramedic
[3:50] for the Hazel Press, Country Club Hills, and as an emergency dispatcher in South
[3:55] Holland. We are excited for Connie to join the public works team and look
[3:59] forward to the experience she brings in serving the residents of Homewood.

[5:27] items number eight, the retirement resolution oaths of office within the
[5:31] fire department are deferred until our next meeting presentations. At this
[5:36] time, Antonia Stein Miller will give a presentation on the refresh of the
[5:40] village of Homewood style guide. >> The most exciting thing on your agenda
[5:46] today. Um, woohoo. So, a little background of what we're doing here
[5:52] today. Um, for those of you who aren't familiar, we are getting a new website
[5:57] very soon. Um, and with that comes sending our original style guide to our
[6:03] Civic Plus website vendor. Um, in our research, we discovered that our style
[6:09] guide and our branding guidelines haven't been updated since 2010.
[6:14] So, actually 15 years going into September. So, we as a team decided that
[6:19] we were going to look at our style guide and refresh it and make it a little more
[6:24] vibrant, a little more modern. Um, we're doing it in-house, so we're going to
[6:28] save money. And we're not changing the brand. We've already established our
[6:33] brand over the last 15 years. So, we don't want to change it. We just want to
[6:36] enhance it and refresh it. Um, it's going to mirror more of what Homewood is
[6:41] today rather than what it was 15 years ago. So, I'm going to just show you a
[6:46] little bit. Um, this has a cost breakdown of what it could cost if we
[6:50] were to do an entire rebrand. Um, government municipalities have paid
[6:55] anywhere from $40,000 upwards to $85,000.
[7:00] Um, Tinley Parks rebranding um initiative cost a little over $8 million
[7:04] back in 2015. So, that was a full marketing rebrand, tourism, the whole
[7:09] nine. Um, so it's going to cost the Village of Homewood free.99 right now.
[7:15] So we're we're here with it. Um, and just to give you an idea, this is the
[7:20] style guide and branding are the colors, our logo, uh, basically what we use to
[7:25] design our website and any other external documents that go out to public
[7:29] facing residents, uh, businesses and of those types of things. So this was
[7:35] created in 2010, I believe. Um, the one that I have
[7:40] sitting in the shared drive um date is dated uh September 2011. So this is our
[7:45] official logo as you all can recognize. These are our colors, the Homewood blue,
[7:49] black, and white. And then we have the original secondary color palette that
[7:53] you might have seen on our website for several years. Um our fonts that we are
[8:00] supposed to use for everything. Um and then I'm going to show you how
[8:05] we've updated and refreshed the look. So, you can see that the logo is very
[8:09] similar to our original logo, just a little bit of a different font, a little
[8:13] more modern, a little brighter. Um, we've incorporated officially now this
[8:17] Home Sweet Homewood secondary logo that we'd like to use in more places online.
[8:22] Um, these are going to be our new primary colors. So, Homewood Blue,
[8:26] dolphin blue, white, and black. And then we've just enhanced all of the original
[8:32] color palettes um colors from the previous ones. And I'll do a side by
[8:36] side in the next slide. We've also updated our uh typography. So all of our
[8:42] fonts are going to be updated from previous um uses. In fact, we have now
[8:48] um a Google font for our website that we'll use. And then we also have Canva
[8:52] fonts and Adobe fonts as well. Um here are the side by sides. You can see that
[8:58] they really haven't changed much. They're just a little bit brighter, a
[9:01] little more vibrant, and a little more refined. So, the original versus the
[9:05] refreshed. You can see we added in another neutral,
[9:10] like a pale pink. It's hard to see on the screen, but it's almost like a blush
[9:14] pink that we can use for like a background and things. Um, one thing to
[9:17] keep in mind that these colors, yes, they are bright, but they will be great
[9:21] for ADA compliance when we're using it for graphics and those um those things
[9:26] of that nature um because we have now guidelines and rules to follow. So, as
[9:33] far as the logo goes, we updated the logo. This would be our official logo
[9:38] um here this correspondence. And I just wanted to show a few other more modern
[9:43] logos um with communities that are around us, some near, some far, but you
[9:48] can see more modern logos are bright, colorful, no dates, no seals type
[9:54] things. Um, some of these are just for digital like we will have a few that are
[10:00] will be for original correspondents and then obviously digital um and external
[10:05] media and then we have a few of the dated more dated seal logos um here. So
[10:11] see the difference >> these were I I dug very deep for these.
[10:16] I just want everyone to know. Um, this one looks like late 90s, early 2000s.
[10:23] And then we moved into this one, which was also late 90s, early 2000s. And then
[10:28] I give you this one, um, from 2010 to present. And then here's how we've
[10:33] updated the current logo. You can see it comparison here. Um, we added just a
[10:38] small detail there in the water tower, adding that home sweet homewood. We
[10:43] added a brighter color, which is the new Homewood blue. We took out the date down
[10:47] here and added Illinois so that people know that we're Homewood Illinois, not
[10:51] Homewood Alabama. >> And we modernized the font. Yes. Yep.
[10:56] » Um and then these will be our secondary logos, brighter colors, more options to
[11:01] use for different things. We created uh public safety logos. So, police, fire,
[11:08] and public works will now have a new logo, an updated logo. Um this is our
[11:13] typography. We talked about that. And then these are just some fun little
[11:17] banners I created just to show you with the different things that we can do with
[11:20] the updated branding colors and guidelines. And that is it.
[11:26] » Thank you. All right.
[11:34] » Your usual wonderful job. Thank you. >> Thank you. We'll look forward to the
[11:38] rest. >> Hear from the audience. If anyone in the
[11:41] audience would like to address the board on any subject not on the agenda, please
[11:45] raise your hand. Sir, come on.
[11:58] » Presidentfield trustes, thank you for giving me the opportunity. Everyone
[12:01] else, good evening. Uh, I want to begin by thanking our electrical line crews,
[12:06] people that work tirelessly, often in dangerous conditions to keep the lights
[12:10] on. They deserve our recognition, respect, and thanks for a job that truly
[12:14] goes unnoticed too often. Tonight, I want to talk about something that
[12:18] affects every household in our region. The reliability and equity of our
[12:21] electrical grid is managed and dictated by a franchise agreement with com
[12:26] medicine. Vice President Holfield, I'm asking you
[12:31] to use your seat at the South Suburban Mayors Mayors and Managers Association
[12:35] to build a coalition of 20 municipalities across Cook and Will
[12:38] County from Chicago Heights to University Park all affected by the
[12:42] recent prolonged power outages to unite around a single demand red equity. your
[12:48] Cook County members, Chicago Heights, Country Club Hills. Uh
[12:54] again, there are there's 20 communities including uh five in Will County that
[12:59] have been affected by this. The United Coalition can take five concrete steps.
[13:04] Number one, they can file a formal joint petition with the Illinois Commerce
[13:07] Commission under section 10-101 of the Public Utilities Act demanding an
[13:12] administrative audit of KMED's grid resiliency and infrastructure equity.
[13:17] Number two, it intervene collectively in raid cases. Hiring joint legal council
[13:22] to demand localized grid spending data during ICC discovery processes on KMED's
[13:27] multi-year rate plans. Number [clears throat] three, pass
[13:31] unified municipal resolutions in every member city council creating a powerful
[13:35] public record declaring grid inequity a regional economic and public safety
[13:39] crisis. Number four, coordinate with the Illinois Attorney General, submitting a
[13:44] collective briefing to urge the state's top legal officer to champion an equity
[13:48] audit with the ICC. Finally, enforce the siege of mandates,
[13:53] demand the ICC strictly enforce the climate equitability, and job acts,
[13:58] which explicitly requires utilities to prioritize infrastructure equity.
[14:03] Vice President Hooffield, our residents of the grid deserve a grid built for
[14:08] equity, not just efficiency and profit. When 20 mayors speak with one voice,
[14:12] they cannot be ignored. Will you lead this coalition or take active steps to
[14:17] initiate facilitate such a coalition? >> Will you leave your information with me?
[14:23] » My contact information? >> Yes. Do you just read the points that
[14:27] you were discussing? >> Certainly.
[14:33] Thank you. >> Thank you, sir.
[14:49] » No, we can get
[14:54] right there.
[14:58] Is there anyone else would like to address the board this evening?

[17:14] Job 66 Mongolian Grill and Dumplings has requested a class 4A liquor license for
[17:19] their location at 1818 Ridge Road. A class 4A liquor license allows the
[17:24] retail sale of any alcoholic liquor for on premise consumption only for
[17:28] establishments with the bar. No more than 25% of their gross receipts can be
[17:33] from alcohol sales. The liquor commissioner has reviewed the request
[17:36] and is in support. Uh they are in the process of completing their buildout and
[17:41] plan to open in the coming weeks. I believe if the board's in favor of the
[17:45] request, staff will be directed to begin the liquor license application process.
[17:50] However, due to the timing of their anticipated opening, we are requesting
[17:53] an approval of the ordinance as well tonight to increase the number of
[17:56] allowed class 4A liquor licenses subject to the completion of all the application
[18:01] process. Um, the applicant is here tonight. If you guys, someone would like

[18:34] remember. Yeah. So, thank you so much for considering our request for the
[18:40] liquor license for the jaw jaw 66 Mongolia grill and the dumplings. Yeah.
[18:46] Any questions for me? >> Yeah. When are you opening?

[23:16] with staff today. We believe pretty confidently tomorrow will be completed
[23:19] with our first initial every street has been touched by our team. Um a lot of
[23:25] residents have already been bringing out kind of the second or third wave of
[23:28] debris. Uh we're going to be cleaning it all up. U meeting [clears throat] with
[23:32] our team internally to kind of discuss uh deadlines. Uh but that's a much
[23:36] future conversation. Right now, our focus is on trying to help as many
[23:39] people as possible. We've had a lot of support from our state and county uh uh
[23:45] partners. Uh there's been trucks and equipment that's been all out throughout
[23:49] our community. Had a lot of mu uh mutual aid uh from neighboring communities
[23:55] close and afar. And uh it's been really cool to see the community come together
[24:00] all working for the same goal of cleaning up our town. So,
[24:04] » it's it's been amazing to see. I just encouraged and uh we can get through
[24:09] this, we can get through most anything. >> Absolutely.
[24:11] » Also, Josh, uh uh it's important to note uh a lot of the communities did not have
[24:16] an inside person uh that could coordinate uh items like through county
[24:21] state ID do county department of transportation. Fortunately, Homewood
[24:25] had an inside man uh who's working tirelessly to kind of
[24:30] coordinate and get a lot of the resources that you see on the street. So
[24:33] thank you to our inside person. >> Thank you all legally and ethically
[24:39] [laughter] >> and in addition to Mason's culinary
[24:44] experience, he has also involved in Cook County Homeland Security and uh been a
[24:50] terrific assistance to us in the relief effort
[24:54] as he seems. >> Bill's also been a a resource to a lot
[24:56] of other local agencies. So I appreciate him with a couple of my agencies. to
[25:01] reach out to him. I think round of applause and recognition needs to go to
[25:06] the entire village for everything they've done from the uh the staff here,
[25:10] the PD, the FD, and the DPW. You guys are doing a great job. Continue doing
[25:14] what you're doing. We appreciate it. I also want to recognize everybody, Chief

[25:23] had is amazing. these people that you guys are bringing up front and I read
[25:29] the the n the the guy that the fire department is just hiring. These people
[25:33] are amazing and how how we're getting these people especially on the the PD
[25:36] side is is amazing and that that there's a lot uh there's a lot that goes into
[25:41] that and we really appreciate getting those high qualities and thank you

[26:36] they'll be taking addresses to [snorts] assist um you know mostly our our
[26:41] elderly or uh functional [clears throat] need uh uh individuals to get that

[27:03] » anybody in Cook County, any of the uh any of the affected communities.
[27:07] Anybody's welcome to come.
[27:11] » While we're talking about the cleanup, I'm I don't even know if we've had this
[27:15] uh or if you guys have had this conversation internally, but it's a
[27:18] question I keep getting asked often. Once the branches are picked up and the
[27:23] grass is dead on the Parkway, are residents responsible for
[27:29] » fixing them? Okay. We're trying our best to leave things appropriate that is like
[27:34] uh like we found it. Um but because the piles have been there so long, there's
[27:38] been a significant amount of brown brown out. Uh grass will come back. It's not
[27:43] going to look tidy right now. Uh but we're trying our best to rake it and
[27:47] keep it clean. I've already seen some uh in my neighborhood grass is starting to
[27:51] come back. Uh it's just going to be slow. But I've also been getting the
[27:55] same requests of when are we going to come back and grassy. Right now we're
[27:59] not. >> Right. Okay.
[28:01] Um, thank you. And I just want to comment on Antonia's presentation. Thank
[28:06] you so much. And I think it's amazing. And um, I think it's really important to
[28:12] point out that the reason it is free.99 for our community is because of your
[28:18] talents and those other communities did not have someone on staff that was
[28:24] capable of a rebrand and you are. So, thank you for being here.
[28:28] » Awesome. >> I love it.
[28:34] » [clears throat] >> So that's it.
[28:36] » Well, most of it's been said. I encourage everyone uh take a ride down
[28:41] 175th Street at the Village property at 1221 where the piles of debris are are
[28:46] placed. It's the four stories high and we're trying to reduce them as rapidly
[28:52] as we can. Taking the debris over to the Oak Forest Old Oak Forest Hospital where
[28:57] the county is going to dispose of them. But the the work uh on the part of
[29:01] public works been monumental. We thank you. The men and women in public works
[29:05] have been working tirelessly. They have our thanks and our appreciation.
[29:10] With that, may I have a motion to adjourn, please? So move.
