Summary
By unanimous votes the board approved Resolution 25-01 (material hauling contract), Resolution 25-02 (purchase of three Ford Police Interceptor vehicles) and the Jan. 14 warrant register totaling $970,972.05.
The Village Board of Morton Grove approved three routine measures by unanimous votes during its Jan. 14 meeting.
Resolution 25-01: Service contract with GM Trucking Inc. for the 2025 material-hauling program. - Introduced by a trustee as Resolution 25-01. Motion to approve was made (motion recorded on the transcript as moved by Trustee Phil, seconded by Trustee Mink). The clerk called the roll; Trustees Khan, Mink, Shiba, Phil, Travis and Witko voted Aye. The resolution passed 6–0.
Resolution 25-02: Purchase of three 2025 Ford Police Interceptor squad cars under the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative contract #204 from Curry Motors Fleet (Frankfort, Ill.). - Trustee Travis moved to adopt Resolution 25-02; Trustee Phil seconded. The clerk called the roll; the board voted Aye (six trustees). Resolution 25-02 passed 6–0. Meeting remarks noted the replacement cycle occurs every three years for high-mileage squad vehicles.
Warrant register: Approval of the warrant register dated Jan. 14, 2025, in the amount of $970,972.05. - Trustee Khan presented the warrant register and moved to approve; the motion (recorded as moved and seconded) carried on roll call with six Aye votes. The clerk recorded the warrants as approved 6–0.
Why this matters: the hauling contract and fleet purchases are contract and equipment decisions that the board funds through its annual operating and capital processes; the warrant register reflects routine disbursements and vendor payments.
The meeting record shows no dissent on these items; each passed by a 6–0 roll-call vote.
