La Grange Park

What La Grange Park does

The Village of La Grange Park is a municipal government located in Cook County, Illinois, founded in 1892 and structured as a municipal corporation under Illinois state law. It serves the residents and local businesses within La Grange Park's geographic boundaries through six core operating departments: Administration, Building/Inspectional Services, Finance, Fire, Police, and Public Works. Service scope spans public safety (uniformed patrol, traffic enforcement, fire suppression, emergency medical services), water and sewer utilities, infrastructure maintenance (roadways, forestry, brush and leaf collection, snow removal), permitting and inspections, and community recreation through partnerships with the Community Park District and Public Library. The Village has 51-100 employees and operates from Village Hall at 447 N. Catherine Avenue plus Fire Station #2 at 1010 E. 31st Street.

The Village's technology stack is built around a CivicPlus-powered government website, SeeClickFix for non-emergency resident service requests, Rave Smart 911 for emergency notifications, social-login authentication, and an Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system deployed across the water utility that wirelessly transmits meter readings on a licensed radio frequency to Village Hall and supports precision down to 0.03 gallons per minute. Water supply is sourced from Lake Michigan through the Brookfield-North Riverside Water Commission. The Police Department holds ILEAP Tier 1 Accreditation (2024) validated against 69 standards.

The Village is funded through property taxes (including dedicated debt service for General Obligation Bonds), usage-based water and sewer fees (with new rates of $13.33 and $3.45 per 100 cubic feet effective January 1, 2026), recurring fees such as $10 annual dog licenses, one-time business and permit license revenue, and reimbursable economic development grants. The Village is governed by an elected Village President and Board of Trustees, with a Village Manager (Julia A. Cedillo) overseeing day-to-day operations; it has no parent company or private ownership structure.
