Bartlett agendas: cannabis dispensary permit, elected official salaries and TIF reviews scheduled
No votes, approvals or final actions from Bartlett's recent meetings appear in the records available this week. The summaries for the Oct. 12, Oct. 15 and Oct. 20 meetings are agenda-only, with minutes not yet published, so what follows is what was scheduled for discussion — not what was decided. The supplied summaries contain no vote tallies and no dollar amounts.
Village Board, Oct. 20: dispensary permit and code changes
The Village Board agenda listed a Special Use Permit for a Medical Cannabis Dispensary at 1683 S. IL Route 59. Also on the agenda were an ordinance prohibiting recreational use of Kratom, synthetic drugs and nitrous oxide, and an ordinance amending Section 1-8-6 of the Village Code regarding salaries for elected officials.
Two other items appeared on the same date's agenda: a resolution for an intergovernmental agreement with the Bartlett Park District concerning ordinance enforcement and policing of park property, and a 2026 Pavement Preservation Project Agreement with Corrective Asphalt Materials, LLC. A separate summary of the same meeting also listed an ordinance amending the Bartlett Municipal Code regarding restricted parking areas.
The summaries do not state whether any of these items were approved, tabled or continued, and do not describe the terms of the Park District agreement or the pavement contract.
TIF districts reviewed Oct. 15
The Tax Increment Financing Joint Review Board met to discuss financial activities and redevelopment updates for four districts: Brewster Creek Business Park, IL Route 59/Lake Street, Lake Street, and Bluff City. The agenda included a Village Financial Report on TIF Financial Activities, along with reports from the Finance Director and Economic Development Coordinator.
Tax increment financing sets aside growth in property tax revenue within a designated area for redevelopment. The summaries do not include the financial figures presented or any board action.
Chamber and branding update, Oct. 12
The Community and Economic Affairs Commission agenda included approval of previous meeting minutes, an introduction from Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce leadership, and a digital update from a5 Branding. No details of either presentation were included in the supplied summary.
Coming up
Nov. 3 — Board of Fire & Police Commission, regular meeting at Village Hall. The agenda lists a public forum, approval of the Oct. 6, 2026 regular meeting minutes, approval of the Oct. 6, 2026 executive session minutes, and the potential for an executive session regarding Village employee employment matters.
Residents interested in the Village Board items above should watch for published minutes, which are the record of any action taken. As of this week's summaries, none of the Oct. 12, Oct. 15 or Oct. 20 minutes had been published.
