The Village Board approved a consent agenda that included software and equipment contracts, parade route approval, sidewalk and paver maintenance contracts, and waivers; the board also authorized bills for April 3–16 and recessed into executive session on probable/imminent litigation.
At its April 21 meeting the Wheeling Village Board approved a broad consent agenda and several routine actions, and recessed into an executive session to discuss probable or imminent litigation.
The consent agenda—approved by motion with a roll call—included items the board described as routine. Notable items listed in the consent materials and approved as part of the motion included: - A one-year renewal of Microsoft Office 365 software licensing via the State of Illinois previously bid contract with Dell Technologies for $86,256.60. - Waiver of competitive bidding and authorization to purchase 3,800 feet of 5-inch supply fire hose from Danko Emergency Equipment at a cost not to exceed $34,205.84. - Approval of a Memorial Day parade route from Wyland Road to Lexington Drive, terminating at Post 66. - Waiver of competitive bidding and a contract with Ray O'Hearn Inc. for police duty weapons ($10,956), reflecting trade-in credits. - A contract with GC Designs for 2025 brick/paver maintenance ($74,145) and a one-year contract with Suburban Concrete Inc. for sidewalk replacement ($96,460). - A resolution allowing the Village Manager to waive a portion of video gaming terminal fees for Philip Carpenter Post 66 (a nonprofit entity) for FY25–26. - A resolution amending previous consent for a Cook County Class 6 property tax assessment classification renewal for 230 West Palatine Road (details in agenda materials).
During the consent-agenda discussion, a trustee requested that item H (a third change order on a previously bid contract) be moved to new business for separate consideration; the motion to approve the consent agenda was made "as amended" and the roll call vote was unanimous in favor.
The board also approved payment of the bills for April 3 through April 16, 2025, by motion and roll call.
Before adjourning the regular meeting, trustees approved a motion to recess into executive session for "pending probable and/or imminent litigation." Trustee Rufado moved to recess into executive session; Trustee Krueger seconded and the board voted to recess. The president said there would be no further public business after the executive session that evening.
