The Park Ridge Historic Preservation Commission met on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting included the approval of minutes, a unanimous vote to issue a 100‑year‑old home certificate, and extensive discussion on a proposed historic district in the Spanish Town neighborhood. Commissioners also received updates on the L. Hodges Addition survey, SHPO grants, and ongoing landmark projects. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes (May 6, 2026): The minutes were approved as amended. Chair Mattingley requested that the text on page three, paragraph three be changed from "evaluate their interest" to "determined" in reference to outreach to local churches. Public Comments & Testimony - Kim Coolman (resident of Cortland) spoke in support of the proposed historic district and also raised a concern about the loss of old trees when homes are demolished, urging the commission to consider tree preservation as part of historic stewardship. Discussion Items - 100‑Year‑Old Home Certificate (OH‑26‑03) – 911 S. Washington Avenue: The owner, Kathleen Arassi, presented the history of her home, built in 1924 (102 years old per Cook County records). She shared family photos, including an enlarged copy from the granddaughter of the original builder. The application met all qualifications. Commissioners praised the application and discussed plans to feature the home on the city’s social media, with Commissioner Matthew offering to digitally enhance the historic photo. - L. Hodges Addition – Intensive Historic Survey Update: Staff reported that the consultant is still internally reviewing the final report; no new information was received. - Future SHPO Grants Update: Two grant applications were submitted in May; no response has been received yet. Staff expects to hear by the end of the summer. - Discussion on Potential Historic District: Applicants Phil Payne (1305 S. Crescent), Emily MacArthur (430 Talcott Place), and Mike (address not stated, advising) presented a proposal to create a historic district covering five Spanish‑style homes in the Spanish Town neighborhood, all designed by architect Benedict Bruns and built in the 1920s. One of the homes (at 430 Talcott) is currently under sale with a buyer who reportedly intends to demolish it. The applicants urged expedited action to protect the properties. Staff (John Scopoletti) explained that the commission could not conduct a preliminary review at this meeting due to procedural requirements (public works review needed, agenda notice limits). However, a special meeting for preliminary review could be scheduled with 48‑hours’ public notice and at least four commissioners present. Commissioners expressed strong support for the historic district concept and offered to help coordinate a special meeting quickly to meet the applicants’ goal of a public hearing on July 1. The applicants noted that for the public hearing to be held July 1, notice must be published by June 8. - Council Liaison Report: Commissioner reported progress on the July 3 fountain ceremony (noon, with Mayor Maloney, John Shea, and Father Wallace participating). Music for the event is still being arranged; suggestions included contacting Maine South band students or School of Rock. - Landmark Plaques: Commissioner presented draft text for two landmark plaques (the Clute House and the gates of a subdivision). Members suggested using uppercase for each clause. Efforts to identify the prior vendor for plaques are ongoing. - Other Landmark Matters: A resident at 611 Cedar (landmarked home) wishes to install a lamp post; staff will verify if the property’s landmark status has been recorded with Cook County, as required by ordinance. Also, the lettering on the Paulding fountain is difficult to read; an antique restoration specialist may be needed to clean it without damage. - Bookmarks: The first historical bookmark (cost $70 for 200) was distributed. Commissioners discussed placing them at the library and at city hall, and displaying a foam‑core version at the June 27 Farmers Market. - Historic Preservation Awards: Staff will work with communications to promote the awards again, possibly through the Park Ridge Spokesman. Key Outcomes - Motion carried unanimously to approve the 100‑year‑old home certificate for 911 S. Washington Avenue, as presented in case OH‑26‑03. - No formal action was taken on the proposed historic district, but the commission agreed to work with staff and the applicants to schedule a special preliminary review meeting as soon as possible, ideally before June 8 to allow time for public hearing notice by July 1. Staff will consult with the city attorney to confirm legal requirements. - Follow‑up: Staff will email commissioners about potential dates for the special meeting. The applicants will be notified of the schedule. - Next regular meeting: July 1, 2026 (quorum anticipated with at least four commissioners).

The Park Ridge City Council held the second part of its regular meeting on June 2, 2026. The only substantive action captured in the transcript was the unanimous approval of a new collective bargaining agreement with the Illinois Council of Police (ICOPS). The meeting then adjourned into closed session to discuss collective negotiating matters. Discussion Items - Collective Bargaining Agreement with ICOPS: City Manager presented a proposed collective bargaining agreement between the City of Park Ridge and the Illinois Council of Police (ICOPS) for the period of May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2029. A motion to approve was made and seconded. After no questions from the audience or council, a roll call vote was taken. Key Outcomes - Approved Collective Bargaining Agreement: The council voted unanimously (7-0) to approve the collective bargaining agreement with ICOPS for May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2029. - Adjournment to Closed Session: Following the vote, the council moved to adjourn to closed session pursuant to 5 ILCS 120/2 c 2 to discuss collective negotiating matters, specifically negotiations with ICOPS. Note: The agenda listed numerous other items, including a Pride Month proclamation, approval of minutes, warrant reports, and several consent agenda items. However, the transcript does not indicate that these items were discussed or voted on, suggesting they may have been addressed earlier in the meeting or will be handled at a later date. The agenda date is June 1, 2026, but the instruction specifies the meeting date as June 2, 2026; this summary uses the latter date.

The Park Ridge City Council met as a Committee of the Whole on Monday, June 1, 2026, at 7:30 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting covered action items from Public Works, the introduction of a new HR Director, and a detailed presentation of the 2025 Fire Department Annual Report. No public comments were made on non-agenda items. Public Works Action Items - Passenger Pickup Zone on Busse Highway: The council approved an ordinance amending Article 13-11-4 of the Municipal Code to create a 60-foot passenger pickup zone on the northeast side of Busse Highway between Morris and Elm Street. An amendment was made to add a second 60-foot zone near Hinckley Park's second gate (near Hinckley 2, the skate park, and playground) and to make the zones year-round rather than April 1 to November 1. The amendment passed 7-0, and the motion was seconded and approved unanimously. The zone will be signed as "No Parking, Loading and Unloading Only." The change addresses safety concerns after a rear-end collision during a baseball game and accommodates increased traffic from sports leagues, especially with the new bike lanes reducing travel lanes. - Asphalt Contract: The council approved a contract with Builders Asphalt LLC for asphalt materials in the amount of $140,680.00. Staff reported that two bids were received but one was non-responsive (did not include a price for cold patch). The contract covers materials for pothole filling, street opening repairs, and patching. The motion passed unanimously. Administrative Services - City staff introduced Art Melanowski as the new HR Director. He has been with the city for over a month, and the HR team is now fully staffed with a new HR specialist starting in two weeks. Public Safety - Police Department - Police staff provided an update on state legislation regarding e-bikes. The state law is expected to be signed by the governor and will take effect in January 2027. The city will work with attorneys to adjust local ordinances accordingly. Public Safety - Fire Department Annual Report (2025) Fire Chief presented the 2025 Annual Report, highlighting the following key statistics and initiatives: - Total incidents: 6,490 (6.1% increase from 2024). - Emergency medical services responses: 4,641 (9.6% increase from 2024). - Department personnel completed over 18,000 hours of training. - Station 35 renovation project completed, improving firefighter health and safety, operational readiness, and long-term service capabilities. - Two new ambulances will be placed in service within 7-10 days. - The department started 2025 with three vacancies and ended with two vacancies; by Q1 2026, both vacancies were filled, and the department is now fully staffed. - Focus on mental health and wellness, including resiliency training and peer support initiatives. - Priorities for 2026 include continued investment in personnel and equipment, implementation of new emergency response resources, and facility planning for Station 36. Council discussed response times, noting that the department's goal of 300 seconds (5 minutes) for EMS incidents has not been met since 2021. Chief explained that the standard is from NFPA 1710 and that response times vary due to station location, closest resource model, and mutual aid. The department uses a closest resource model with 10 fire stations (2 Park Ridge and 8 neighbor stations) regardless of jurisdiction. The potential departure of Des Plaines from the Red Center dispatch was discussed as a concern that could affect response times. Council also discussed calls to healthcare facilities (the "big six" residential care facilities) and efforts to reduce unnecessary 911 calls through communication and partnerships. The number of incidents at healthcare facilities has decreased due to improved communication and follow-up. The department also noted that hydrant testing began June 1, operating Monday-Friday 7 AM-2 PM (noon on Fridays) for 10 weeks, with notices sent to residents. Key Outcomes - Approved: Ordinance to create passenger pickup zones on Busse Highway (two 60-foot zones, year-round) – 7-0 vote. - Approved: Contract for asphalt materials to Builders Asphalt LLC for $140,680 – unanimous vote. - Noted: Introduction of new HR Director Art Melanowski. - Noted: Update on state e-bike legislation effective January 2027. - Received: 2025 Fire Department Annual Report, with discussion on response times, staffing, and healthcare facility partnerships. - Adjourned: Meeting adjourned without further business.

Public Comments & Testimony - John Sandrick (5th Ward) criticized the gateway signs, saying he had opposed them when proposed and that their placement made them "abysmal." He described the beige reverse side as resembling a drive-in sign, stated the sign intended for Devon and Cortland is actually at Talcott and Crescent, suggested it was placed there because it was too large for Devon and Cortland, called the quarter-million-dollar signs "a joke," said whoever approved them "should be taken to the woodshed," and urged that something be done. - Two students, Ray and L., said they had just finished eighth grade at Lincoln Middle School and would attend Maine South High School. They thanked the Mayor and City Council for naming June Pride Month and for making Park Ridge a safe, welcoming community for LGBTQ people, and said hosting Pride in Park Ridge makes it explicit that LGBTQ people belong in the community.

The Zoning Board of Appeals met on May 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The board considered two major variance requests for school district properties: Washington Elementary School (1500 Stewart Avenue) and Lincoln Middle School (200 S. Lincoln Avenue). Both cases were approved with recommendations to the City Council. The meeting also included approval of minutes from previous meetings. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes – April 23, 2026: Motion to approve carried unanimously (5-0). - Approval of Minutes – May 14, 2026: Motion to approve carried with one abstention (Deslin abstained, remaining 4 voted yes; minutes approved). Public Comments & Testimony No public comments were offered for either variance case. Discussion Items Case VA-26-10: Variances at 1500 Stewart Avenue (Washington Elementary School) The applicant (Park Ridge-Niles School District 64) requested eight major variances to reconfigure the north parking lot and construct a 340-square-foot salt storage shed. The existing parking lot, with 48 spaces, had poor circulation and undersized stalls. The proposed plan would reduce spaces to 42 but widen stalls to 9 feet, improve internal traffic flow, and add landscaping. The salt shed (13′ x 26′) would replace tarp-covered outdoor salt storage, reducing waste and environmental runoff. The shed would be masonry to match the school and set back from Western Avenue. The board heard testimony from district staff and their consultants. Board members noted the unique circumstances of a school property and the difficulty of fully complying with residential-oriented code. They found the plan improved circulation, safety, and operation. All variances were approved in a single motion (5-0). The board adopted the staff’s findings of fact, concluding that strict adherence would cause undue hardship, the plight was due to unique circumstances, and the variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. Case VA-26-11: Variances at 200 S. Lincoln Avenue (Lincoln Middle School) The applicant requested eight major variances to reconfigure the west parking lot, add parking, and install two 12-foot-tall fences (one around the basketball court, one around mechanical equipment). The existing lot had inefficient one-way circulation and only 8.5-foot-wide stalls. The new layout would provide ample parking, improve circulation, and add landscaping and stormwater detention. The 12-foot fence around the basketball court was needed to contain balls and protect students; the existing fence was also 12 feet. The board commended the applicant for minimizing impacts, maintaining tree counts (though relocated), and addressing safety needs. All variances were approved unanimously (5-0). The board again adopted the staff’s findings of fact. Key Outcomes - VA-26-10 (Washington School): Approved (5-0). Recommendation to City Council for all eight variances. - VA-26-11 (Lincoln School): Approved (5-0). Recommendation to City Council for all eight variances. - The board noted that the next regular meeting is June 25, 2026, with two cases on the agenda (hospital and LensCrafters). - No other business; meeting adjourned.

The Park Ridge Appearance Commission met on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting included approval of previous minutes, a consent agenda for three cases, a conditional approval for a single-family alteration, and a preliminary review for another single-family project. A new commissioner, Matthew Langan, was welcomed. Consent Calendar - SF-25-01 Revision: Single-Family Residence at 113 S Fairview – placed on consent agenda, approved without discussion. - CI-24-06 Revision: Commercial Project at 29-31 S Fairview – placed on consent agenda, approved without discussion. - CI-26-08: Commercial Project at 1925 W Dempster – placed on consent agenda, approved without discussion. Public Comments & Testimony - No public comments were made on non-agenda items. Discussion Items - Approval of Minutes – April 22, 2026: Commissioner Kelly requested a wording clarification regarding the commercial project at 116 S Prospect (CI-26-07) to ensure the minutes reflected the discussion about limiting white trim in the alley. The commission agreed the wording was accurate. The minutes were approved with three ayes and two abstentions (Commissioners Kelly and Druco abstained). - SA-26-11: Single-Family Alteration at 1317 Frances Pkwy: The applicant presented plans for a second-floor addition. Commissioner Kelly expressed concern about the massing on the west elevation and suggested painting the entire structure one color to unify it. Commissioner Stewart noted the garage helps balance the massing. After discussion, the commission recommended extending the first-floor roof skirt (eyebrow) over the entry on the north elevation to the vertical trim board of the second floor, ending in a hip. A motion to approve with that condition passed 5-0 (Motion by Commissioner Stewart, second by Commissioner Langan). - Preliminary Review: Single-Family Alteration at 626 Parkwood Ave: Applicant Ed Grossmeyer, a resident of seven years, explained the need for a larger home due to growing family and pending baby. The review was preliminary due to a pending zoning question (likely floor area ratio). The commission provided guidance on material transitions: on the left elevation, a six-inch change in plane was requested where brick and siding meet; on the right elevation, a similar offset or architectural element (e.g., a chimney) was suggested to avoid a flat transition. The applicant may also add a trim board at the base. The commission noted that once these changes are made and submitted by the June 12 deadline for the June 24 meeting, the case could potentially be placed on the consent agenda. No formal vote was taken. Key Outcomes - Approved Minutes: April 22, 2026 minutes approved (3-0-2). - Consent Agenda Approved: Unanimously approved for three cases. - SA-26-11 Approved: Conditional approval (5-0) requiring extension of the roof skirt on the north elevation to the vertical trim board, ending in a hip. - 626 Parkwood Ave Preliminary Guidance: The applicant was directed to address material transitions on the left and right elevations (six-inch offset or architectural element) and to provide a revised submission by June 12, 2026, for a final review at the June 24 meeting. - Next Meeting: Scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, 2026 (subject to change). Acting Chair Mattingley noted he will be absent due to a work trip; Commissioner Langan will also be absent. Staff member Claudia Hampel will handle the June meeting.
