Carol Stream trustees approve consent agenda including pavement change order, equipment repair and new park liquor license
Summary
The Village of Carol Stream Board of Trustees approved consent-agenda items including a $98,769.61 change order and acceptance of 2024 flexible pavement public improvements, up to $32,135.25 to repair a 2012 Vactor truck, an ordinance to allow a Park District liquor license at McCaslin Park, and a resolution declaring two squad vehicles surplus.
Carol Stream trustees voted unanimously to approve a consent agenda that included a $98,769.61 balancing change order to Builders Paving LLC and acceptance of public improvements for the village's 2024 flexible pavement project, a repair contract not to exceed $32,135.25 for a 2012 Vactor truck, an ordinance adding a new Class R-2 liquor-license category to permit the Park District to seek a license for McCaslin Park, and a resolution declaring two village squad vehicles surplus and authorizing their sale at auction.
The approvals were taken on the consent agenda during the board's regular meeting. The repair proposal from Standard Equipment was authorized "not to exceed $32,135.25 pursuant to the provisions of section 5-8-14(L) of the Carol Stream Code of Ordinances," according to the clerk's reading of staff recommendations. The ordinance to add a Class R-2 liquor-license category was identified as Ordinance No. 2025-524 and would allow the Park District to apply for a license at McCaslin Park, 27 W. 650 North Ave.
Why it matters: acceptance of the public improvements completes a step in the village's 2024 pavement project and creates a final payment obligation to the contractor; authorizing the Vactor truck repair preserves a piece of public-works equipment used in sewer and storm infrastructure maintenance; and the ordinance change clears a municipal licensing path for Park District events at McCaslin Park.
Details of approved items
- Pavement project: The clerk read a staff recommendation to approve a balancing change order and final payment of $98,769.61 to Builders Paving LLC and to accept the public improvements for the 2024 flexible pavement project. That item was on the consent agenda and approved without discussion.
- Vactor truck repair: The board approved a proposal from Standard Equipment for repair of a 2012 Vactor truck in an amount not to exceed $32,135.25, citing procurement authority in Carol Stream Code section 5-8-14(L). The item was placed on and approved from the consent agenda.
- Liquor-license ordinance for Park District: Trustees approved an ordinance (listed in the meeting as Ordinance No. 2025-524) amending Chapter 11, Article 2 of the Carol Stream Code of Ordinances to add a Class R-2 license category that will allow the Park District to apply for a liquor license for McCaslin Park, 27 W. 650 North Ave. The ordinance was presented on the consent agenda and approved.
- Surplus vehicles and sale: The board approved Resolution No. 3400 declaring two squad vehicles'a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 and a 2013 Ford Explorer'surplus property owned by the Village of Carol Stream and authorized them to be sold at auction. The resolution was on the consent agenda and approved.
- Payment of bills and warrants: Trustees approved regular bills for 01/21/2025 through 02/03/2025 and addendum warrants for the same date range as part of the consent agenda.
Procedural notes and votes
The minutes and other consent items were moved and approved as part of routine business. The meeting transcript records motions to establish and adopt the consent agenda and a roll-call approval; the clerk read each consent-item recommendation aloud before the board voted. The transcript records the approvals as roll-call votes with trustees voting "aye"; no dissent or abstentions were recorded for the consent items.
No substantive public debate on the listed consent items was recorded in the meeting transcript. Several trustees gave separate reports and announcements later in the meeting, but those did not change or affect the consent-agenda actions.
What's next
Acceptance of the public improvements and the change-order payment finalizes village action on the 2024 flexible pavement project as recorded. The ordinance creating the Class R-2 license permits the Park District to apply for a liquor license for McCaslin Park; any future application by the Park District will follow the village's licensing process. The surplus-vehicle resolution authorizes the village to proceed with an auction sale.
