Lombard committee reports: photo contest winners, senior wellness fair and public-works contract and 10-year CIP reviewed
Summary
Two village committees reported on June 19: the Community Relations Committee announced photo-contest winners and upcoming events; the Public Works & Environment Committee reported ratifying a water-main lining bid and unanimously approving a proposed 10-year CIP to forward to the full board.
Trustees at the Village of Lombard's June 19 meeting heard two committee reports that described upcoming community events and public-works planning.
Community Relations Committee Trustee Jessica Hammersmith, chair of the Community Relations Committee, said the committee met and approved photo contest winners (announced the prior week). The committee also discussed a summer concert series and is preparing for a senior wellness fair. The report did not include formal action requiring board approval; Hammersmith said the committee will publicize volunteer opportunities and event details through the village's usual channels.
Public Works & Environment Committee Trustee Bochner reported the Public Works & Environment Committee met on June 10 and ratified a competitive bid contract with Sheridan Plumbing for the Butterfield Road water-main lining. The committee reviewed a proposed 10-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal years 2026 through 2035 and described it in the meeting record with a numeric string that appears garbled in the transcript; the committee characterized the CIP as a multi-year plan for public facilities, assets and infrastructure that prioritizes equipment replacement and repairs. The committee reported that it unanimously approved the 2026–2035 CIP and expects to present the document to the full board for approval at a future meeting.
Actions and next steps - The Public Works & Environment Committee ratified the Sheridan Plumbing competitive-bid contract for Butterfield Road water-main lining at the committee level; committee materials and the ratification will be provided to the full board for final processing as required by village procedures. - The committee unanimously approved the proposed 2026–2035 CIP and will forward it to the full board for consideration and possible adoption at a later meeting.
Trustee Bochner described the CIP as a planning and budgeting tool to track and prioritize capital improvements; no final board vote on the CIP or the Butterfield Road project was recorded in the June 19 public session. The committees' reports were informational to the full board and are scheduled for further action per the village's standard process.
