Village Board - 22 Jun 2026

Brookfield Approves Over $970,000 Decrease in Lead Water Service Replacement Contracts
The Village Board approved three separate resolutions for change orders related to lead water service replacements for phases one, two, and three of the 2020 project. These change orders represent decreases in the contract amounts, totaling over $970,000. The decreases are described as 'balancing change orders' that occur at the end of a project to reflect actual quantities used, which were less than the initially conservative estimates. The IEPA requires these balancing change orders. All three resolutions passed unanimously.
Brookfield Approves Cannabis Dispensary on Ogden Avenue Amid Resident Concerns
The Village Board of Brookfield approved a special use permit for a cannabis dispensary at 9500 Ogden Avenue. The decision followed extensive public comment from residents expressing concerns about the location's proximity to residential areas, traffic impacts, and potential effects on neighborhood character. Proponents cited potential economic benefits and the location's suitability within a commercial corridor. The board addressed concerns about notification procedures and security requirements, with staff confirming compliance with notice ordinances and the applicant clarifying security measures and operational hours. Several board members emphasized that the decision was based on the specific zoning district (C2) of Ogden Avenue, which differs from previous rejections of dispensary proposals in other zoning districts. The vote was 5-0 in favor, with Trustee Whitehead absent.
