Mokena Village Board Meeting | September 15, 2025

The Mokena Village Board held a special meeting on Monday, September 15, 2025, where its primary action was the unanimous approval of the final plat for the 50-home Boulder Ridge Phase IV subdivision. The project, located at 18950 Townline Road, will also include major improvements to Townline Road and a bridge repair, requiring a multi-month road closure in the summer of 2025. For more details on the development and its impact, see the full story. The board’s only other action was the approval of a routine financial report.

Resident Receives $6,000 Refund for Utility Bill Overpayment: The Village Board approved its special accounts payable list, which included a notable refund of $6,082.34 to a resident. Village Administrator John Tomasoski explained that the resident had mistakenly overpaid their utility bill with funds that were intended for their property tax payment. The board’s approval authorizes the village to return the overpayment to the resident.
