Morton Grove trustees approve multiple infrastructure and procurement measures, add grocery-tax code; ordinance 25-16 tabled
Summary
Trustees approved a package of resolutions for roadwork, copier leases and pavement marking, adopted an updated grocery-tax ordinance code, and tabled ordinance 25-16 to June 10. Most measures passed by unanimous 5-0 votes; the board also approved a $753,991.79 warrant register.
Morton Grove trustees on the evening’s consent and business calendar approved multiple contracts and ordinances addressing infrastructure, equipment leases and municipal code housekeeping while tabling one contested measure until June 10.
The board unanimously (5-0) approved Ordinance 25-18, a housekeeping amendment to Title 1, Chapter 10 of the municipal code to add a new article titled “Municipal Grocery Tax.” Village staff said the change codifies a grocery tax the village previously adopted and will take effect next year after state guidance changes. The board also voted 5-0 to waive second reading before approving the ordinance.
The board passed a string of public-works and procurement resolutions by unanimous votes. Among them: - Resolution 25-28: a contract with Murphy Construction Services LLC for the 2025 concrete saw-cutting program (approved 5-0). - Resolution 25-29: a contract with Precision Pavement Marking Inc. for the 2025 pavement-marking program (approved 5-0). - Resolution 25-30 and 25-31: agreements with Premier Engineering LLC for construction engineering services on Beckwith Road and Central Avenue resurfacing (both approved 5-0). - Resolution 25-33: Premier Engineering LLC for Sherburne Road resurfacing construction engineering (approved 5-0). - Resolution 25-27: a 60-month lease recommendation with Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA for multifunction copier hardware, service and supplies (approved 5-0). - Resolution 25-32: an agreement with Anova Consulting Inc. for construction engineering on Grosse Pointe Road resurfacing; staff noted and corrected a scrivener’s error on the agenda and the board approved the corrected resolution 5-0.
Trustees also approved an updated regional planning document: Resolution 25-26 adopted the 2024 update to the Cook County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan, which staff said includes 125 participating jurisdictions and is a FEMA- and Illinois Emergency Management Agency–approved plan required to be updated every five years (approved 5-0).
The board approved the warrant register for April 22, 2025, in the amount of $753,991.79 (approved 5-0).
Separately, the board voted 5-0 to table Ordinance 25-16 at the request of a trustee who asked to be present; the item was rescheduled for the June 10 meeting. Public comments on 25-16 were held at the residents’ comment portion of the meeting and are summarized separately.
No roll-call roll-up of individual votes was recorded consistently in the public audio beyond the clerk’s announcement of final tallies; clerk statements in the record show unanimous approvals for the listed items.
