The Hanover Park Village Board on Oct. 2 approved a series of routine and targeted items including the consent agenda, a purchase for replacement synthetic turf and motions to pursue policy review and a resolution related to immigration enforcement practices.

The board unanimously approved the consent agenda (items 7A1–7A15) after a roll call and then voted to waive competitive bidding and authorize the purchase and replacement of synthetic turf on Lake Street from Avalon Landscaping Inc. for $31,340, authorizing the village manager to execute the necessary documents. Christie called the roll for the turf vote; Trustees Kunkel, Bencoli, Broccolino, Alba, Gutierrez and Porter voted yes, and Mayor Rodney S. Craig voted yes.

Trustees also approved the warrant dated Oct. 2, 2025, in the amount of $909,100,719.89 and approved warrants paid in advance for 08/30/2025 through 09/26/2025 totaling $1,790,681.61. The board approved August procurement card charges of $21,193.60. Those financial items were approved by roll call.

Separately, Trustee Bancoli made a motion — seconded and discussed — asking staff to provide information at a future board meeting about the village’s policy on use of village parking lots by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies. The motion passed on a roll call.

Trustees also approved a motion to consider a resolution urging state and federal lawmakers to bar ICE agents from wearing masks during operations; the vote recorded yes from Trustees Bencoli, Broccolino, Gutierrez, Alba and Porter and a no from Trustee Punko. The motion to bring that resolution back for consideration passed.

The board moved into an executive session under "Section 2(c)(11) — pending and probable litigation/mitigation," the motion passed on roll call, and the meeting was adjourned to executive session.

Meeting minutes and formal ordinances or resolutions that result from the direction to draft or consider policies will be brought back to the board in a future public meeting, the board said.
