At its Nov. 17 meeting, the Gurnee Village Board approved routine and procurement items grouped under the consent agenda and separate ordinance and contract approvals.

Consent agenda: Trustees approved minutes from Oct. 27 and Nov. 3, Resolution 2025-11 identifying surplus village property (listed department unit numbers), a police training request for Officer Corey White and police social worker Rebecca Price (an introductory hostage negotiation course in Appleton, Wisconsin, estimated cost $3,900), payroll in the amount of $1,457,440.45 and bills totaling $2,417,470.79.

Sign ordinance: The board approved Ordinance 2025-78, allowing Primo (720 Milwaukee Ave.) to convert one existing sign to a 24-square-foot electronic message board with restrictions on flashing and scrolling, consistent with other electronic signs in the village.

Contracts and awards: The police department requested an electrical contract award to Kelso Burnett for access-control upgrades related to a previously approved Securitas system; Kelso Burnett submitted the low bid of $95,865 and staff said there are adequate funds including a prior budgeted amount and contingency. Public Works recommended awarding a finished roof installation for an outdoor material storage bin to DCG Roofing Solutions Inc. at $69,247.50 after staff determined the built structure had decking instead of a finished roof; once the roof contract is added to prior expenditures the project remains near the original budget estimate.

Votes: All listed motions passed on roll call or voice vote as recorded during the meeting.

Next steps: Staff will proceed with contract execution and project scheduling; the police department noted electrical work must be completed before Securitas proceeds with access-control installation.
