Highlights from the Meeting of April 13, 2026 found at: https://www.townofgreenville.com/government/agendas_and_minutes.php
The Greenville Village Board authorized over $2.1 million in road paving projects and established a new committee to oversee a potential parks referendum during Monday’s session. The Board also moved to withhold over $54,000 in liquidated damages from the final payment to the Village Hall project contractor following construction delays.
Infrastructure and Financial Approvals
The Board committed significant funding toward village infrastructure, primarily focused on the 2026 paving schedule. Two major contracts were awarded to Northeast Asphalt, Inc.:
- Contract A-26: Awarded in the amount of $1,679,712.55, which includes an alternate add-on.
- Contract B-26: Awarded in the amount of $473,010.10.
In other infrastructure actions, the Board approved the purchase of seven fire hydrants from Core and Main for $43,099 and authorized Jossart Brothers to replace water valves and hydrants for $56,000.
Village Hall Project and Professional Services
A significant portion of the meeting focused on finalizing payments for the Village Hall project. The Board voted 4-1 (with Trustee Mark Strobel dissenting) to approve the final two pay applications to Cardinal Construction. However, the approval included a directive to “subtract out the liquidated damages in the amount of $54,750 and pay the rest of what is owed.”
Relatedly, the Board voted unanimously to postpone payment to Kueny Architects for the remodel until all matters with Cardinal Construction are finalized.
Emergency Services and Public Safety
The Board addressed the future of local emergency response by reviewing the Emergency Services Study. Trustee Brian Mulroy noted that the study presented three options for the Fire Department’s organizational structure. The Board voted unanimously to approve the study and directed staff to begin developing an implementation plan and a corresponding funding strategy.
Community Planning and Referendums
With an eye toward future growth, the Board took several steps regarding parks and public advocacy:
- Parks Referendum Committee: The Board approved the formation of this committee and its organizational chart, noting a preference for a member from the “Friends of Greenville Parks” to be included.
- Referendum Advocacy: Resolution No. 11-26 was passed, establishing a formal policy for referendum advocacy and the use of public resources.
- Outdoor Recreation: The Board officially adopted the 2026-2030 Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP).
Local Business and Zoning Decisions
The Board reviewed several requests related to local business operations and land use:
- Home Business Approved: A special exception for a nail salon at N952 Fox Springs Drive was approved (5-0) with conditions: hours are limited to 8 AM – 8 PM, no signage is permitted, parking must remain in the driveway, and no outside employees may be hired.
- Liquor License Denied: A request from Greenville Youth Sports to obtain a Class “B” liquor license was unanimously denied.
- Block Party Denied: An application for a block party on Kas Drive scheduled for May 30 was denied.
Public Input and Staff Directives
During the public forum, residents raised concerns regarding sewer issues at Greenville Station, stormwater runoff from new subdivisions, and stipulations regarding firewood. In response to a discussion about providing utility services to properties outside the village, the Board directed staff to coordinate a meeting with the Town Chairman of Ellington to discuss potential water service extensions.
Key Action Items:
- Staff to develop an implementation plan and funding strategy for the Emergency Services Study.
- Staff to obtain estimates for updates and replacements for signage at the Greenville Business Park.
- Village Clerk/Staff to finalize the 2027 Budget Schedule as presented.
The Board adjourned at 7:36 PM following a closed session regarding the potential purchase of property (Parcel 111035300). The next Planning Commission meeting was scheduled for April 27, 2026.
