On September 8, the Elmhurst Board of Park Commissioners approved this Task Order 7.00 with Dewberry in the amount of $14,940 for a feasibility study for the Sugar Creek Golf Course maintenance building. Dewberry staff met with SCGC staff on September 18 to understand current conditions of the building, review space needs and understand equipment and storage space. On September 25, a meeting was held with Village of Villa Park and V3 Engineering staff to review existing site information including zoning, floodplain and floodway maps. Dewberry also examined history of SCGC and reviewed the Sugar Creek Restoration Project. Utilizing all this information, Dewberry staff compiled the Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report and will present highlights from the report.

The 9-hole course, located north of route 38, and west of route 83, is bisected by Sugar Creek, which flows east towards Salt Creek. The creek and an adjoining 3 acre pond effectively establish a documented floodway within portions of the course. The existing golf course maintenance facility is located on the west side of the course, along South Villa Avenue and is adjacent to the creek. The maintenance building consists of both wood framed and pre- engineered steel structures and is approximately 2,000 sf (80x25) in size. The size of the current facility is inadequate and should be roughly 4,000-5,000 sf per United Stated Golf Association (USGA) benchmarks. Per DuPage County GIS maps, the Sugar Creek Floodway covers a majority of the maintenance facility site which places restriction on development and operations that can occur on the site. Immediately west of the current maintenance building is a Village of Villa Park sanitary lift station and associated backup generator which further reduce the footprint of developable area. The Elmhurst Park District would like to look at potential options for re-developing a maintenance facility at its existing location. 2. History The seven-member Sugar Creek Golf Course Board is comprised of representatives from the Village of Villa Park and the Elmhurst Park District and oversees the overall financial operations of Sugar Creek Golf Course. The Board’s monthly duties include reviewing the Manager and Superintendent reports, reviewing and approving the monthly Income Statement (all revenues and expenses) and reviewing and approving the annual budget as prepared and presented by management staff. On January 20, 1975 the Elmhurst Park District and the Village of Villa Park entered into an operating agreement to purchase land and design/construct an executive 9-hole, par 31 golf course for joint use by both governmental agencies and their constituents and named it The Sugar Creek Golf Course. A seven-member administrative board was created to operate and maintain the course and present recommendations for golf course administration, maintenance and capital improvements to the Elmhurst Park District and Village of Villa Park. The course was opened to the public on July 2, 1976. In July 2002, a master plan was developed to include demolition of a former residence, the addition of a dedicated meeting space, a lounge with full- service bar, a kitchen, new restrooms and an ADA compliant entrance. Proposed course improvements included plans for added safety, more challenging play, and increased rate of play. An intergovernmental agreement was signed in September 2002 outlining the financing for these improvements. Course renovations were completed in the fall of 2003. Work consisted of lengthening hole #6 (now #8) making it a par four, moving the #5 green thus making the hole a dogleg right and speeding up play by changing the course circulation pattern and reducing the number of par 3's at the end of the round. Also included in the course renovation were irrigation and drainage improvements, as well as the incorporation of tee boxes and cart paths throughout the course. In August of 2003, the Board of Park Commissioners and the Village of Villa Park were presented with an opportunity to purchase 5.5 acres of land next to the golf course for $1.2 million. The Sugar Creek Golf Course Board agreed that this property would enhance the golf course and provide space to build a 20 station driving range on the property. To finance this sale and develop the property, the Village of Villa Park agreed to sell debt certificates in the amount of $1.6 million. The clubhouse addition/renovation was completed in April 2004. Today, Sugar Creek Golf Course offers group and individual golf lessons as well as hosting an extensive summer youth camp to 400 participants annually. 2 Page 8 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report 3. Sugar Creek Restoration Project Sugar Creek Golf Course is located at the end of a 4.1-square-mile watershed which flows into Salt Creek in DuPage County. The creek, also named Sugar Creek, is an extremely valuable resource that provides open space, aquatic habitat, flood storage, runoff conveyance, recreational opportunities, and ecological benefits for the community. Over time, the value of the water resource was compromised by shoreline erosion, sediment deposit accumulation, degraded water quality, algae blooms, invasive species, impaired aesthetics, and loss of water volume. 2,800 linear feet of steel shoreline retaining wall was installed in the early 1990s to prevent erosion, but by 2020 more than half of the retaining wall was rusted through or structurally unsound. Thousands of cubic yards of sediment from upstream filled the pond area from 1975 on, degrading water quality and reducing the function and capacity of the pond. Original water depths of 5 to 6 feet in the center of the pond were less than 1 foot by the early 2020s. In 2014, representatives from Villa Park, the Elmhurst Park District, and Sugar Creek Golf Course participated in stakeholder meetings with DuPage County as part of the Lower Salt Creek Watershed planning process. After investigating the value and feasibility of a water quality improvement project at the golf course, Living Waters Consultants was hired in 2017 to complete a concept plan and grant applications for a restoration project. On September 25, 2021, Sugar Creek was notified by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency that funding for the restoration project would be approved in the form of a grant equal to about 50% of the estimated total project amount. Additional separate funding in the amount of $60,000 became available from the DuPage County as part of their storm water management plan. This required an Intergovernmental Agreement between DuPage County, Village of Villa Park and the Elmhurst Park District. The initial total project was estimated at around $1.225 million funded at just over 50% from grants and the other 50% divided three ways between Sugar Creek Golf Course, The Village of Villa Park and the Elmhurst Park District. 3 Page 9 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report 4. Space Needs Dewberry held meetings with the Sugar Creek Golf Course Maintenance staff to determine the space needs of the new facility. A size comparison of other local 9-Hole golf courses was performed by the staff to determine the appropriate size of the facility based upon their counterparts. The size of those facilities are as follows: Location Building Dimensions Total Square Footage Sugar Creek Golf Course 80’ x 25’ 2,000 GSF Lombard 80’ x 30’ + 40’ x 30’ 3,600 GSF Tam 100’ x 40’ 4,000 GSF Green Meadows 90’ x 50’ 4,500 GSF Downers Grove 80’ x 70’ 5,600 GSF Rob Roy 100’ x 40’ + 80’ x 30’ 6,400 GSF Flagg Creek 80’ x 30’ + 120’ x 30’ 6,000 GSF Prairie Club 140’ x 50’ 7,000 GSF There is no “one-size-fits-all” model for golf course maintenance facilities, as they differ in size, available area, layout, and location. However, successful modern facilities share many common attributes that can be incorporated into the design. This is a list of several features which should be integrated into the design of a modern maintenance facility. Administration Usually comprised of offices, conference room, breakroom, and restrooms. The administrative area generally opens into a reception area where an administrative assistant is located. In addition to providing space for a computer, telephone, desk, file cabinets, and other necessary office items, a small sitting area for vendors and guests is often appreciated. Equipment Repair The equipment repair area should have an office with a computer for the equipment manager to track equipment maintenance and repairs and maintain a proper inventory of parts. A secured area for parts storage should be included in the equipment repair zone. Parts storage areas can be in or adjacent to the equipment manager’s office. Fire rated chemical storage is currently housed in fire rated cabinet. Washing Wash-water recycling systems are excellent features of equipment wash areas. These systems collect water in a reservoir that filters out clippings and oil before the water is recycled to wash more equipment. Wash-water recycling systems not only reduce environmental nutrient loading but also considerably reduce maintenance facility water use. These types of systems do however require a significant footprint so placement may impact other functions and should be prioritized. Fuel At the end of the day, equipment should be cleaned and refueled before it is either stored or adjusted by equipment technicians. An area dedicated to fueling can increase efficiency in operations. Refuse Access to dumpsters would be needed for the new design, including a 3 yard dumpster for the general waste and a 20’ x 8’ dumpster for landscape waste. 4 Page 10 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report Pesticides & Fertilizers Fertilizers are best stored in a separate secure facility to reduce exposure from environmental elements and decrease the likelihood of theft or accidental spillage. Ideally, the fertilizer storage area should be large enough to store tractors, pull-behind spreaders, push spreaders, and other equipment used for fertilizer applications. Since fertilization is generally not a practice that is performed daily, fertilizer storage areas can be located farther away from the maintenance building. Due to the proximity of Sugar Creek, the fertilizer storage is housed adjacent to the Club House and will remain in this location. Equipment Storage The average golf course equipment fleet is quite costly and should be stored indoors to protect the golf facility’s investment from solar degradation, rain, and temperature extremes. There should be adequate area to store nearly all equipment indoors. Some units – like tractors or front-end loaders – can be kept outdoors, ideally under some sort of covered structure. When determining necessary equipment storage area, one foot on each side of the equipment should be added to allow space for staff to safely move around the equipment. In addition to larger movable equipment, the facility should have ample space to store smaller hand tools, containers, and accessories. Industrial shelving and wall space are important means to keep these smaller items organized and out of conflict with larger items. Incorporating taller building volumes can allow an interior mezzanine space that can store items used less frequently. Soil Storage Bins An outdoor area, adjacent to the maintenance facility, is required for material storage bins. Ideally, the bins are located near the equipment needed to distribute the material and have easy access for delivery via dump truck. These bins are used to store a variety of material like sand, stone, mulch, and decorative rocks. Each material requires its own bin to keep them physically separated. The bins are often constructed of poured concrete barriers with a concrete or bituminous slab for ease of use. The bins vary in size depending on the size of the material delivery and specific requirements of the course. 5 Page 11 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report 5.

Zoning The Sugar Creek Golf Course is currently zoned RS-10, Residential Single-Dwelling District-10,000 sq. ft. Residential zoning districts are primarily intended to create, maintain and promote a variety of housing opportunities for individual households and to maintain and promote the desired physical character of existing and developing neighborhoods. While the districts primarily accommodate residential uses, some nonresidential uses are also allowed. The various R districts are primarily differentiated on the basis of allowed building types, lot areas, and building regulations. The RS-10 district is primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on lots with an area of at least 10,000 square feet. Per Section 2.2 Allowable Building Types, Public and Civil Buildings are permitted within RD-10 districts. Per Section 2.3 Lot and Building Regulation Lot Regulations • Minimum Lot Area (square feet): 10,000 SF • Minimum Lot Width (feet): 65 feet • Maximum Lot Coverage (impervious Site Coverage) (%): 50% Building Regulations • Front Street Setback (feet): 30 feet • Side Street Setback: 20 feet • Interior Side Setback: 6 feet • Rear (feet/% of lot depth, whichever is greater): 40/20 feet • Maximum Building Height (feet): 28 feet 8 Page 14 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report 8. Existing Site Plan Information The existing floodplain and floodway map is shown below with the areas in blue (floodplain) indicating the existing buildable areas of the site. V3 Engineers were able to obtain the current floodway model for Sugar Creek from DuPage County and provided a review of the data. Based on their review of the floodway model, the Park District could make a strong case to DuPage County for pushing the floodway limits further south towards the creek. To do this, the recommendation would be to remove the berm located south of the outdoor storage area as this portion of the property is currently elevated above the floodplain. Lowering this area to be below the floodplain elevation would effectively increase the conveyance channel adjacent to the project site. Also, the model does not currently reflect the creek restoration project that was just completed, and the model assumes that the banks of the creek next to the site are heavily vegetated which is no longer the case. Removing the vegetation along the banks lowers the roughness coefficient which will potentially help reduce the floodway width. The recommended next step would be to schedule a meeting with DuPage County Stormwater to review the model and present the case for modifying the current floodway boundary. There is no guarantee DuPage County will approve any changes to the current floodway limits, so for planning purposes we 9 Page 15 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report should assume the worst-case scenario (no change to the current floodway limits) until we can meet with DuPage County and assess the feasibility with them. 10 Page 16 of 87 Sugar Creek Maintenance Facility Report 9. Site Plan Option This design option, if the floodway cannot be reduced, places a new building on the north side of the property and relocates the Villa Avenue site access drive to the south end of the property. This allows the properly sized building to be located outside of the existing floodway and provides for site circulation and parking to be in the floodway. 11 Page 17 of 87 Page 18 of 87 Page 19 of 87 Page 20 of 87 Page 21 of 87 Page 22 of 87 Page 23 of 87 Page 24 of 87 Page 25 of 87 Page 26 of 87 Page 27 of 87 Page 28 of 87 Page 29 of 87 Page 30 of 87 Page 31 of 87 Page 32 of 87 Page 33 of 87 Page 34 of 87  Village of Villa Park Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes – January 26, 2026 Date: January 26, 2026 Time: Meeting called to order at 7:00 PM Location: Village of Villa Park 20 S.

Wildwood Ave from Villa Ave to S. Myrtle Ave and on east side of S. Myrtle Ave from Wildwood Ave to Wildwood. This will allow for greater access along Wildwood as these portions of the roadway will be reduced with the construction of Union Development and the VPRC. BACKGROUND: The Union Development Site plan was approved with the modifications to Wildwood Ave to align the south curb line to be in line with the original road to allow for the construction of the multi-use path along the south side of Wildwood from Villa Ave to Myrtle Ave. This will reduce the width of the roadway to 20 ft to match other local roads in the Village. With the construction of the VPRC and the proposed public parking entrance and exit for the Union Development, the proposed traffic will be increased on Wildwood and Myrtle. The combination of the decreased width of Wildwood and the increased traffic on Wildwood makes on-street parking on Wildwood undesirable for safety and the efficient movement of the traffic on the street. Currently, Myrtle Ave from Wildwood to Wildwood was designed to have pulling in angled parking in the street Right of Way. The proposed Union development will remove this pull-in parking and have the entrance and exit to the private residential parking garage, thus eliminating the space for on- street parking on this portion of Myrtle Ave. DISCUSSION: Page 41 of 87  Vill age of Villa Park 20 South Ardmore Avenue, Villa Park, Illinois 60181 To: Village of Villa Park Board of Trustees From: Marianne Gonzales, Plan Commission Chairperson Re: Plan Commission Item 9a. Recommendation of No Parking on the north side of Wildwood from Villa Ave to Myrtle Ave and Myrtle Ave. from Wildwood to Wildwood. Recommendation: To approve an ordinance for NO PARKING along the North side of Wildwood from Villa Ave to Myrtle Ave and east side of Myrtle from Wildwood to Wildwood. Meeting Date: December I71h,2025 Background and Supporting Documentation: The Union development is planning on construction of a new seven (7)-story apartment complex at 100-110 S. Villa (old AK Mulch and Village parking lot site) in the next few months. As part of this development, it will bring additional traffic as its approved entrances are off Wildwood and Myrtle Ave. In addition, it will remove the current "bump in" spaces that were used for parking to allow for the construction of the remaining leg of the Tri-Trail multi-use path. This will reduce the Wildwood and Myrtle to the standard street width of 22 feet. By restoring the street to its original width of 22 ft., the amount available space for on-street parking is limited to safely allow 2-way traffic on Wildwood and Myrtle. With additional traffic from the VPRC and the proposed Union development, restricting the on-street parking will allow for safer movements of traffic. Benefits to the Villase: The Benefits to the Village would be safer and more efficient vehicle traffic and better sight distance for traffic entering and exiting the existing and proposed parking lots. Comprehensive Plan Goal: This recommendation will assist the Comprehensive Plan Goal of Transportation and Mobility 04-05 to monitor traffic patterns on local roadways. With the change in use and proposed development, the traffic pattern will change in this area. Anticipated Impact: The reduction of six (6) street stalls along the northern portion of Wildwood Ave. from Villa to Myrtle. The existing parking stalls on Myrtle from Wildwood to Wildwood have already been approved to be removed as part of the Union Development site plan.

Ardmore, Villa Park, IL 60181 Phone (630) 833-5350 Fax (630) 941-5978 Memorandum To: Manager Rivas From: Steve Stapleton Fire Chief Steve Stapleton Date: January 30, 2026 Subject: Ambulance Rate Increase Summary: The proposed ambulance rate increase would bring the Village’s fees into closer alignment with those of neighboring communities and simplify the existing ambulance rate structure. The resulting increase in ambulance revenue would help offset the costs associated with providing emergency medical services to both residents and non-residents of Villa Park. Background: The Village charges residents and non-residents a fee for emergency medical services based on the annual Ground Emergency Medical Transport (GEMT) cost report, which currently reflects a cost of $3,555.00 per transport. The existing rate structure is set at 50 percent of the GEMT cost report for residents and 75 percent for non-residents, resulting in fees of $1,777.50 and $2,666.25, respectively. The GEMT program is a federally funded initiative that allows ambulance providers to receive supplemental reimbursement above standard Medicaid rates. In Villa Park, GEMT reimbursements account for approximately 62 percent of total ambulance billing revenue. Discussion: The GEMT cost report provides an objective and reliable assessment of the actual cost of delivering emergency medical treatment and transportation services. Increasing the billing rate to 100 percent of the GEMT cost report would generate additional revenue to help offset rising operational expenses, including increased staffing requirements within the Fire Department. Establishing a consistent billing rate for all transports also minimizes compliance risk and helps ensure continued eligibility for supplemental funding through the GEMT program. An analysis of the Village’s current ambulance rate structure indicates that the proposed rate is consistent with fees charged by neighboring communities, as illustrated in the table below. Department Resident Rate Non-Resident Rate Lombard 2,672.39 2,969.32 Oakbrook Terrace 2,909.80 2,909.80 Addison 3,264.00 3,264.00 Elmhurst 3,486.60 3,873.98 Villa Park 3,555.00 3,555.00 York Center 3,734.00 3,734.00 Wood Dale 5,116.05 5,776.13 Itasca 5,390.00 5,390.00 Page 50 of 87 Recommended Action: Staff respectfully recommend approval of an increase in ambulance rates for both residents and non-residents to reflect the full GEMT cost report amount of $3,555.00 per transport. The proposed action also authorizes annual adjustments to ambulance service rates without further Village Board action, pursuant to the annual report submitted for the previous year to the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) and/or the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the Ground Emergency Transport Program (GEMT) reflecting the actual cost incurred for transport of residents and nonresidents. In the event the annual calculated fee for the upcoming year is less than the current fee being assessed, the current fee shall be assessed for the following calendar year.

Commission. These changes were recommended by the Community F.U.N. Commission. BACKGROUND: The Village Board established the Villa Fest Commission last year, but not all commissioners have been appointed, so no meeting has occurred. The Community F.U.N. Commission formally suggested at their January 27, 2026 meeting that it would be better for the Villa Fest Commission to be a sub-committee of the Community F.U.N. Commission. This would allow sharing of resources and best practices from other events. DISCUSSION: In addition to dissolving the Villa Fest Commission (Article XXII), this Ordinance also makes other changes to the Villa Park Municipal Code consistent with the Community F.U.N. Commission's recommendation. References to "task forces" are replaced with "sub-committees" for each commission (except the Zoning Board of Appeals, which should not have any sub-committees). Additionally, the requirement that all sub-committee members be non-commissioners has been lifted to allow up to 2 commissioners to serve on a 5-person sub-committee. This will help both in recruitment of committee members and sharing of knowledge and resources. Page 56 of 87 From: Villa Park Fun Commission Michelle McDonald, Chairperson To: Villa Park Village Board Date: 02/03/2026 Please accept the following recommendations from the Villa Park Fun Commission 1. It is our recommendation that the term “Task Force” be replaced with “Sub- Commission” throughout Ch 2 of the village ordinances. It is our commission members’ opinion that the term “task force” is too aggressive and the term “Sub-Commission” better describes the nature of the activities; 2. It is our recommendation that the Villa Fest Commission be dissolved; 3. It is our recommendation that the Fun commission have a sub commission created to be called the Villa Fest sub commission. Such commission should have 5 members with no more than 2 being current Fun commission members and should meet at 7pm on the fourth Tuesday of every month, following the Fun commission regular meeting; It is the feeling of the commission members that we can better share resources and best practices to the Villa Fest sub-commission from the other events we already plan and execute such as Kites and Kicks and the Autumn Jubilee. These recommendations were discussed at our commission meeting on January 27th and formally voted on by our commission members on that day. The vote in support was unanimous and all current members were in attendance.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY The police department maintains unmarked vehicles for administrative functions and investigative operations. The police department has a vehicle replacement plan that includes the purchase of one (1) administrative police vehicles to ensure each vehicle in the fleet does not exceed 5-6 years of age and/or mileage of 90-100k. Administrative vehicles are periodically replaced and reassigned to support detective and investigative functions, allowing patrol vehicles to remain dedicated to frontline operations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The police department recommends the purchase of a new RAM 1500 under cover vehicle for the Chief of Police to replace his current vehicle which will be reallocated to the investigations division and replacing an aging vehicle that has become less reliable. The vehicle will support the Chief in daily duties, emergency response, and the transportation of equipment as needed. Its capabilities align with the operational needs of the department and ensure that the Chief of Police and investigations division have dependable and safe vehicles to carry out essential responsibilities. Three quotes were obtained from the following vendors: Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Highland, Inc. 9604 Indianapolis Blvd. Highland, IN 46322 (total cost $50,460), National Auto Fleet Group 490 Auto Center Drive, Watsonville, CA 95076-Sourcewell Bid Contract 081325- NAF (total cost $58,459.64) and Sam Leman Auto Group, 200 E. Courtland St, Morton, IL 61550 (total cost $49,472.63). Staff recommends the purchase of one (1) 2026 Dodge Ram 1500 undercover vehicle through Sam Leman Auto Group, 200 E. Courtland St, Morton, IL 61550 found to be the lowest quote for (1) 2026 Dodge Ram 1500 Police Vehicle. Funds have been allocated in the FY26 budget to purchase one (1) vehicle from the equipment replacement fund, account number 65.202.529900 in the amount of $49,472.63. Total purchase cost: $49,472.63 This vehicle will require additional police equipment (lights, console switch box, etc.) to be purchased at a later date. Page 64 of 87 With the purchase of these new vehicles, the police department will be relinquishing the following vehicles for further use within the village or to be sold at auction as determined by the fleet foreman. 1. 2018 Ford Explorer squad #164. ALTERNATE CONSIDERATIONS A different administrative vehicle could be considered; however, a full-size crew cab pickup such as the Dodge Ram 1500 is better aligned with the Chief of Police’s dual administrative and operational responsibilities, providing the capacity, safety, and capability necessary to support field response, equipment transport, and command functions when required.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY The police department maintains squad vehicles for emergency response and patrol duties and unmarked vehicles for administrative functions and investigative operations. The police department has a vehicle replacement plan that includes the purchase of three (3) squad vehicles annually to ensure each vehicle in the fleet does not exceed 5-6 years of age and/or mileage of 90-100k. This rotation plan ensures all squad vehicles remain in proper mechanical condition to respond to emergency calls and law enforcement duties in a safe manner. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The police department has utilized Dodge Durango Police Pursuit Vehicles for the past several years. This vehicle has been proven reliable and includes all-wheel-drive for bad weather conditions. The department plans to continue utilizing the Dodge Durango Police Vehicles for patrol duties. Three quotes were obtained from the following vendors for the purchase of three Dodge Durango Police Vehicles (2 with Police Pursuit Package, 1 with undercover package): Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Highland, Inc. 9604 Indianapolis Blvd. Highland, IN 46322 (total cost $130,550), National Auto Fleet Group 490 Auto Center Drive, Watsonville, CA 95076- Sourcewell Bid Contract 081325-NAF (total cost $146,419.62) and Elmhurst Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram 200 W. Grand Ave. Elmhurst, IL 60126 (total cost $134,995.89). Staff recommends the purchase of three (3) 2026 Dodge Durango Police Pursuit Vehicles through Thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Highland, Inc. 9604 Indianapolis Blvd. Highland, IN 46322 determined to be the lowest quote for three (3) Dodge Durango Police Pursuit Vehicles. Funds have been allocated in the FY26 budget to purchase two (2) vehicles from the equipment replacement fund, account number 65.202.529900 in the amount of $87,225 and one (1) vehicle will be purchased with funds from the D.U.I. fund, account number 19.520.540101 in the amount of $43,325. Total purchase cost: $130,550 These vehicles will require additional police equipment (lights, console switch box, prisoner partitions, etc.) to be purchased at a later date. Page 70 of 87 With the purchase of these new vehicles, the police department will be relinquishing the following vehicles for further use within the village or to be sold at auction as determined by the fleet foreman. 1. 2020 Ford Explorer squad #136 2. 2018 Ford Explorer squad #145 3. 2021 Dodge Durango squad #190 ALTERNATE CONSIDERATIONS The Village could consider modifying vehicle options or selecting a lower-tier configuration to reduce initial purchase costs. This approach is not recommended, as the Dodge Durango Police Vehicle’s current configuration is specifically designed to meet patrol and emergency response demands, including performance, durability, and year-round operational capability. Reducing or altering vehicle options could negatively impact officer safety, reliability, and overall operational effectiveness. Maintaining the recommended configuration ensures the vehicles are properly equipped to support patrol functions and emergency response operations.

Commission. RECOMMENDED ACTION: This Resolution establishes a sub-committee of the Community F.U.N. Commission dedicated to organizing Villa Fest. This action was recommended by the Community F.U.N. Comission. BACKGROUND: The Community F.U.N. Commission recommended replacing the Villa Fest Commission with this sub-committee. Per the Community F.U.N.
