During the recent Committee of the Whole meeting held on February 5, 2025, the Village of Tinley Park made significant strides in enhancing local services and infrastructure. The committee approved several key items that are expected to positively impact the community.

One of the standout decisions was the approval of a Class A V1 liquor license for Durbin's Harmony Square, located at 17327 Oak Park Avenue. This license will allow the establishment to serve alcohol, which is anticipated to boost local business and attract more visitors to the area.

Additionally, the committee voted to renew its membership with the South Suburban Mayors and Managers Association. This annual membership is crucial for maintaining collaborative efforts among neighboring municipalities, which can lead to shared resources and improved regional governance.

Another important resolution involved extending an agreement with City Escape Garden and Design, LLC for code violation abatement lawn maintenance. This contract will ensure that the village continues to maintain its properties effectively, as the services provided by the contractor have proven to be cost-effective and efficient.

The committee also approved a contract with JETCO, LTD for the rehabilitation of the post 11 elevated water tower. The project, valued at approximately $1.36 million, is expected to enhance the water infrastructure in the community. Notably, the new design will feature the updated Village logo, contributing to the aesthetic appeal of the area.

The meeting concluded with no public comments, indicating a smooth session focused on advancing the village's interests. As these initiatives move forward, residents can look forward to improved services and infrastructure that enhance the quality of life in Tinley Park.
