Algonquin Boards Set Infrastructure Votes; Pavement, Road Match, and Liquor License on Agenda
Algonquin residents have several infrastructure and licensing items to watch, though no meeting minutes from the July 21 sessions have been published yet. All items below come from official agendas, not confirmed outcomes — the Village has not yet released minutes showing what was voted on or approved.
July 21: Village Board Agenda
The Village Board's July 21 agenda included a $2,642,480.00 local match commitment for the Sandbloom Road Improvements STP-L Grant. If approved, this would be the village's share of a state-funded road project.
Other agenda items:
- Design engineering for Janaks-Wecks Subdivision Improvements — Phase 1 with Christopher B. Burke Engineering for $449,408.00.
- Purchase of a new forestry bucket truck from Time Manufacturing Co. for $285,346.00.
- Agreement with Rieke Interiors for Community Development Office Work Stations for $103,070.00.
- Planned Development and Special Use Permit for The Learning Experience day care center.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed whether any of these items were voted on or approved.
July 21: Liquor Commission Agenda
The Liquor Commission was scheduled to consider a Class B Liquor License for Haley Vraj, LLC (dba 51 Liquor and Smoke) to operate Discount Liquors at 513 E. Algonquin Road. The meeting was set for 7:25 PM at the Ganek Municipal Center. No minutes have been published, so the license status is not confirmed.
July 21: Committee of the Whole Agenda
The Committee of the Whole agenda included an ordinance amending Zoning Code Sections 21.8 (Home Occupations) and 21.16 (Off-Street Parking and Loading). The proposed amendment would update parking regulations to allow vehicles with Class "C" license plates in residential districts and revise language for home-occupation vehicle use.
Also on the agenda:
- An ordinance prohibiting the use of groundwater as a potable water supply under a former industrial use site.
- An agreement with Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc. for the 2026 MFT Pavement Management Program.
No minutes are available, so no outcomes are confirmed.

- A $1,958,349.09 agreement with Schroeder Asphalt Services for the 2026 MFT Pavement Management Program.
