Summary
At the Jan. 6 North Chicago City Council meeting the body approved an omnibus agenda (items 5‑1 through 5‑5) and voted to pay city bills and special bills totaling $595,622.70; roll calls are recorded in the minutes
The North Chicago City Council on Jan. 6 approved an omnibus agenda and later approved city bills and special bills totaling $595,622.70.
The omnibus motion asked the council to approve agenda items 5‑1 through 5‑5 as presented. Alderman Allen moved the omnibus motion and Alderman Evans seconded. The roll call in the transcript records the aldermen present and the clerk’s aye votes for the named members; the mayor declared the motion carried.
Later the council considered payment of city bills plus a special bill package that together totaled $595,622.70. Alderman Allen moved to pay the bills and Alderman Evans seconded. During roll call Alderman Coleman, Alderman Evans, Alderman Allen, Alderman Smith, Alderman Murphy and Alderman Jackson recorded “Aye.” Alderman January recorded “No.” The motion carried with a recorded tally of six ayes and one no.
Why this matters: the council’s passage of the omnibus agenda and the bills authorizes routine city business and vendor payments that affect city operations and cash flow.
