Riverside meeting roundup: Board of Trustees cancels July session; commission agendas pending minutes
Riverside's Board of Trustees cancelled its July 16, 2026 regular meeting, pushing its next scheduled session to August 20, 2026. Several advisory commissions met or were scheduled to meet earlier in July, but minutes have not yet been published for any of those sessions, so outcomes — including votes, approvals, and dollar figures — are not yet confirmed in the public record.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees regular meeting scheduled for July 16, 2026 was cancelled. The next regular meeting is set for August 20, 2026. No agenda items or actions were recorded for the cancelled session.
Economic Development Commission (July 8)
The Economic Development Commission agenda listed a façade grant review for Pronto Tax, a business located in Riverside. The agenda also included updates on 2026 commission goals: a Coffee Talk event, a social media content calendar, a business recognition program, and an outdoor dining grant. New business items on the agenda were planning for a Riverside Beauty and Wellness Week event and discussions related to tours with Explore Oak Park and Beyond. Approval of minutes from the May 13, 2026 meeting was also listed.
Because minutes have not yet been published, it is not confirmed whether the façade grant for Pronto Tax was approved, tabled, or denied, or in what dollar amount. Readers should check the village's official records for the outcome.
Board of Police & Fire Commissioners (July 14)
The Board of Fire & Police Commissioners agenda included discussion of guidelines for the new Police Patrol Eligibility List and the Police Patrol Lateral List. These lists govern how the village fills patrol officer positions. Minutes have not yet been published, so any decisions or votes taken at the meeting are not yet part of the available record.
Landscape Advisory Commission (July 14)
The Landscape Advisory Commission agenda included review of June 9, 2026 meeting minutes and several new business items: a "Buckets of Doom" giveaway, village media posting and marketing, an Invasive Trade in Program, 2026 events, and the Master Landscape Plan. Minutes from this meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes are not confirmed.
Coming up
Riverside Historical Commission — July 20, 2026. The agenda includes approval of June 15, 2026 minutes and the May financial report, a demolition permit for 280 Addison Road, a local history files digitizing project, and discussion of an Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board grant. The demolition permit item may be of interest to residents near 280 Addison Road. As of this writing, this meeting had not yet occurred, so no outcomes are available.
Board of Trustees — August 20, 2026. The next regular meeting of the Board of Trustees, following the cancellation of the July 16 session.
