Illinois Tollway board approves routine minutes, IT and facilities items and engineering package; one recusal recorded
Summary
At its Jan. 28, 2025 meeting the Tollway Board approved a series of routine items including minutes, IT and facilities contracts, consolidated engineering items 2–10, and engineering item 1 (recorded 6 yeas, 0 nays, 1 recusal). The board also approved remote participation for Director Sweeney.
The Illinois Tollway Board of Directors approved multiple agenda items in a largely procedural Jan. 28, 2025 meeting, including minutes from prior meetings, an information-technology contract, two facilities and fleet operations contracts, a consolidated engineering package (items 2 through 10), and engineering item 1, which carried with one recusal.
Chairman Rivera opened the meeting and asked for motions on procedural items. The board approved a motion to allow Director Sweeney to participate by audio conference after he gave advance notice that he could not attend in person. The motion passed by voice vote.
Engineering item 1 was called earlier in the meeting to accommodate Director Sweeney's brief remote participation; Director Nenemeyer (noted in the transcript as having recused himself in advance) was recorded as recused for that vote. A roll call for engineering item 1 shows the following responses on the record: Director Wright — approve; Director Gomez — yes; Director Connolly — yes; Director Nadermeier — yes; Director Paddis — yes; Director Sweeney — yes; Chairman Rivera — yes. The clerk announced "6 yeas, 0 nays, and 1 recusal," and the motion to approve engineering item 1 passed.
The board took consolidated action on engineering items 2 through 10; those items were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote with no further questions recorded. The board also approved the following on voice votes: IT item 1; Facilities and Fleet Operations items 1 and 2; and minutes for meetings held Nov. 21, 2024, and Dec. 19, 2024, as well as executive-session minutes for those dates. The meeting closed with a motion to adjourn that was approved by voice vote.
Ending: The board recorded no additional substantive debate on the agenda items. Several approvals were by consolidated motion and voice vote; detailed roll-call tallies were recorded only for engineering item 1.
