The City of Waukegan Public Works and Infrastructure Committee convened on February 18, 2025, to discuss key agenda items, including the approval of minutes from the previous meeting and a significant resolution regarding the city's road program.

The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the presence of several committee members, including Aldermen Flori, Martinez, Bowden, and Downerwer. Following the roll call, the committee approved the minutes from the January 21, 2025, meeting without any objections.

A notable point of discussion was the new business item concerning the fiscal 2025 road program. The committee proposed a resolution to award the program to Peter Baker and Sons for a total amount not to exceed $2,461,197.65. The motion to approve this resolution received a first and second, indicating strong support among committee members.

There were no audience members present to address the committee, and no old business was discussed during the meeting. The committee's focus on the road program highlights ongoing efforts to maintain and improve Waukegan's infrastructure.

As the meeting concluded, the approval of the road program marks a significant step forward in the city's infrastructure planning for the upcoming fiscal year. Further developments will be monitored as the project progresses.
