Bensenville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Bensenville agendas: water line hearing, $5,359,591.96 warrant and TIF reports — no minutes yet published

Bensenville's Village Board, Committee of the Whole and Joint Review Board all had meetings on the calendar in the past two weeks, but as of Oct. 26 no minutes had been published for any of them. Everything below comes from the published agendas. It shows what was scheduled for discussion or action — not what was decided. No vote tallies or outcomes are available.

Village Board: hearing on water main and lead service line programs

The Village Board's Oct. 22 agenda scheduled a public hearing on the IEPA (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency) Water Main and Lead Service Line Replacement Programs. The same agenda listed a warrant for $5,359,591.96, a special use permit for truck repair at 211 Beeline Drive, Unit 10, a design/build agreement with MDI Access, Inc. for a Village Hall generator upgrade up to $565,000, and a purchase order with NuToys Leisure Products for refuse receptacles up to $85,000.

Amounts are as written on the agenda. A warrant listed for consideration is not a recorded payment, and the two "up to" figures are authorization ceilings rather than final costs.

Committee of the Whole: subdivision, incentive agreement, draft 2027 budget

The Oct. 22 Committee of the Whole agenda listed a preliminary and final plat of subdivision at 227-239 W Irving Park Road, a special use permit for truck repair at 211 Beeline Drive, Unit 10, an Economic Incentive Agreement with Al Warren Oil Company, an amendment to Title 10 of Chapter 8 regarding driveways, and review of the Draft Calendar Year 2027 Budget and Community Investment Plan.

The budget item is described as a review of a draft. The agenda does not indicate adoption of a 2027 budget.

Joint Review Board: TIF annual reports

Two Joint Review Board agendas were posted for Oct. 15. One covered a staff overview of the TIF #4 Annual Report and activities within that district, along with approval of October 30, 2025 minutes for TIF #4, #5, #6, #7 and #11. The other covered the TIF #12 Annual Report for the Bensenville North Industrial District, including a staff overview and a question and answer period, along with approval of October 30, 2025 meeting minutes.

TIF refers to a tax increment financing district. The agendas describe staff overviews; they do not include the contents of either annual report.

What the record does not show

No minutes have been published for any of the four meetings listed above. That means the record does not establish whether any item was approved, rejected, tabled or amended, and it does not establish any vote count. Missing minutes are not evidence that an item passed or failed.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings were listed for the next 14 days in the information provided for this roundup. Residents should check the Village of Bensenville's official meeting calendar and posted agendas for the authoritative schedule, locations and any added meetings.

All items above are drawn from official agendas. The linked official documents are authoritative.

Bensenville panels set to weigh truck repair permit, zoning changes and TIF reports — no outcomes yet on the record

Three Bensenville public meetings were noticed in the past two weeks, but none has published minutes, so the records available do not establish that any vote was taken, any permit was granted or denied, or any dollar amount was approved. What follows is what the posted agendas scheduled, not what was decided.

Community Development Commission, Oct. 7

The Community Development Commission was scheduled to take up three cases:

• **CDC Case 2026-23:** a special use permit for a truck repair business at 211 Beeline Drive, Unit 10.
• **CDC Case 2026-24:** zoning text amendments to Title 10, Chapter 8, covering off-street parking and loading regulations.
• **CDC Case 2026-25:** a preliminary and final plat of subdivision (consolidation) for 227-239 W Irving Park Road.

The agenda describes the items as matters the commission "will consider." Because minutes are not yet published, it is not known whether the commission recommended approval, recommended denial, continued the cases or took no action. The parking and loading amendments, if adopted, would apply town-wide rather than to a single address; the subdivision case concerns consolidating parcels on W Irving Park Road.

Joint Review Board, Oct. 15: TIF #4

The Joint Review Board was scheduled to meet to approve minutes from Oct. 30, 2025 for TIF #4, #5, #6, #7 and #11, and to receive a staff overview of the TIF #4 Annual Report and activities within that district.

Joint Review Board, Oct. 15: TIF #12

A second Joint Review Board agenda for the same date listed approval of the Oct. 30, 2025 minutes and review of the TIF #12 Annual Report for the Bensenville North Industrial District, including a staff overview and a question and answer period.

TIF refers to tax increment financing, a mechanism in which growth in property tax revenue within a designated district is set aside for use in that district. The agendas call for review of the annual reports; they do not state what the reports contain, what revenue or spending figures they show, or whether the board took any action on them.

What the record does not show

No minutes, vote tallies, ordinance numbers or dollar figures appear in the material available for these three meetings. The absence of that information in the posted agendas is not evidence that no action occurred — only that the outcome is not yet documented in the records reviewed here. Readers seeking the official record should consult the published agendas and, once available, the minutes on the city's meeting portal.

Coming up

No meetings were listed in the provided schedule for the next 14 days, so there is nothing to flag for attendance in that window. Residents who want to track the truck repair permit, the parking and loading amendments, the Irving Park Road consolidation or the TIF annual reports should watch for the next posted agendas and for the minutes of the Oct. 7 and Oct. 15 meetings.

Bensenville Board to Consider Property Purchase, Road Engineering Contracts

Bensenville's Village Board has two meetings on the schedule this past week, both listing votes on a property purchase at 917 West Hillside Drive, a special use permit denial for truck repair at 1220 Mark Street, and a combined total of up to $2,897,801 in design engineering for the York Road at Metra/CPKC Grade Separation Project.

Because minutes have not yet been published for any of the three recent meetings covered here, the items below reflect what was on each agenda — not confirmed outcomes. Vote tallies and final decisions will be available once minutes are posted.

Village Board of Trustees — July 23 and July 28

The Village Board met (or was scheduled to meet) on July 23 and again on July 28, with overlapping agendas. Both meetings list the following items for action:

• **Property acquisition:** A purchase and sale agreement for real property at 917 West Hillside Drive.
• **Special use permit:** Denial of a special use permit for truck repair at 1220 Mark Street.
• **Police vehicles:** Purchase of three police vehicles from Elmhurst Ford, not to exceed $158,931.
• **Pavement patching:** Construction contract for the 2026 MFT Pavement Patching Program, not to exceed $200,000.

The two agendas differ on the York Road engineering item:

• The **July 23** agenda lists design engineering for the York Road at Metra/CPKC Grade Separation Project (Phase 1B) at up to $2,752,223.
• The **July 28** agenda lists design engineering for the same project (Phase 1A and 1B) at a combined total of up to $2,897,801.

The July 23 agenda also references updates to the village code regarding taxes and parking.

Bensenville Police Pension Fund — July 30

The Police Pension Fund agenda for July 30 includes:

• Review and approval of actuarial valuations and a tax levy request.
• Board officer elections for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Assistant Secretary.
• Review and approval of a Fiduciary Liability Insurance Renewal.
• Discussion of a Sikich Audit Proposal.
• Review and approval of a Lauterbach & Amen Engagement Letter.

As with the Village Board meetings, minutes have not yet been published, so it is not yet confirmed which items were approved or how any votes went.

What this means for residents

The largest dollar items on the Village Board agendas relate to the York Road grade separation engineering — a project tied to the Metra/CPKC rail crossing. The property acquisition at 917 West Hillside Drive and the special use permit matter at 1220 Mark Street both involve specific addresses and could affect nearby property owners. The police vehicle purchase and pavement patching contract are routine capital expenditures funded within stated caps.

For the Pension Fund, the tax levy request and actuarial valuations are the items most directly tied to municipal finances.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the Village of Bensenville website for any special meetings or committee postings that may be added.
