Committee of the Whole approves routine pay scales, engineering and construction contracts; one recorded no vote on AMR item

The Tinley Park Committee of the Whole approved a series of routine fiscal and contracting items by roll call during the meeting and discussed a liquor-license request without voting. Trustees carried motions approving pay-scale ordinances, amendments to standing-committee code, multiple engineering and construction agreements, and purchases for municipal services and equipment.

Key approvals included the fiscal year 2026 pay-scale ordinances for village staff and the fire department, an amendment to chapter 30 (standing committees) of the Village Code, professional services agreements with Christopher Burke and Robinson Engineering for water-main replacement and 170 Fifth Street construction engineering, and contracts with Miller Pipeline LLC and LPS Pavement for concrete and pavement work. The board also approved purchase agreements for manhole covers, awarded a no-bid contract for the 2025 pavement correct-fill program to SKC, and approved the Motorola Solutions purchase and installation of 14 APX 8500 mobile radios for public-safety use. Most motions passed by roll call with affirmative responses; Item 16 (AMR) passed with one recorded no vote by Trustee Mueller.

Several items were presented as standard procurement or engineering authorizations and were approved after brief staff summaries and roll-call votes. Where roll-call responses were recorded in the transcript as individual "Yes" responses, the clerk announced "Motion carries" after the roll call. The board also approved the Kaukauna Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and multiple professional services contracts tied to city infrastructure projects.

The liquor-license request for 6657 South Street (the Station/Looby Brothers) generated extended discussion and was continued; trustees asked staff and the village attorney to negotiate written commitments with the petitioner and return to the board by May 6. There were no public comments recorded for the Committee of the Whole portion of the meeting.
