Meeting Summary: New Lenox Board of Trustees for July 14, 2025

The New Lenox Village Board of Trustees met Monday to approve site plans for a new business, waive fees for community projects, and hear a glowing report on the new Crossroads Sports Complex. In other business, the board approved several liquor licenses and authorized significant payroll and bill payments.

The board heard from Village Administrator Kurt Carroll that the new Crossroads Sports Complex, a major village initiative, opened on time, under budget, and has run its first few tournaments so successfully that attendees were unaware it was the facility’s debut. Board members praised the project as a premier regional destination.

Trustees also voted to waive over $13,000 in permit and plan review fees for two local organizations. The New Lenox Community Park District received a $12,200 waiver for a $1.4 million renovation of Sharon’s Bay Park, while the United Methodist Church received a $1,500 waiver for a parking lot resurfacing project.

A new truck repair business, MBPRO Services, received approval for its site plan at 21660 South Moni Drive. The board authorized the company to install a heavy-duty asphalt parking lot with eight striped truck stalls and required a letter of credit for over $7,800 to guarantee public improvements.

New Liquor Licenses Approved: The board approved three liquor licenses. A Class A1 license was created for Country Club Social on its second reading. Additionally, two Class SE (Special Event) licenses were approved: one for Dock at Inwood for its Food Fight Taco Fest and another for Bishops Hill Winery to host a “Ladies Night Out in the Commons” event.

Village Approves Major Spending: Trustees authorized bi-monthly disbursements totaling $7,808,532.63 for village bills and other expenses. They also approved payrolls paid on June 27, June 30, and July 11, which amounted to a combined $1,187,726.30.

Surplus Property Released: The board passed ordinances authorizing the release of two surplus village properties for disposal or sale. The items include an air compressor from the Village Hall and a police vehicle.

Pavement Marking Contract: As part of the consent agenda, the board approved a proposal for line striping and pavement markings for various village locations. Details of the contractor and cost were not discussed during the meeting.

Board Absences: Mayor Tim Baldermann and Trustee Katie Christopherson were absent from the meeting. Trustee Keith Madsen served as the acting chairman for the proceedings.
