Trustee Joanna Leafblad said the Village Board approved a contract award for utility relocation ahead of the downtown Orland Park project and said the move "will save the village 2 to $2,500,000," a phrasing that the transcript records but does not clarify; vote details were not provided.

Joanna Leafblad, Village Trustee and mayor pro tempore, said the Village Board approved a contract award for utility relocation as the village prepares for the downtown Orland Park project. Leafblad said the contract award will "save the village 2 to $2,500,000," according to the exact phrasing in the meeting remarks. The transcript excerpt did not clarify that number or provide a breakdown showing how the savings were calculated. The board’s action, as summarized by Leafblad, prepares utility relocation work ahead of a planned downtown project. The transcript did not include the contract text, the winning bidder, a budget line item, or a vote tally. Because the quoted savings figure in the transcript is unclear in its notation, further clarification from village staff or the contract documents would be required to confirm the exact dollar amount and calculation.
