Villa Park trustees approve appointment, sidewalk contract and AED purchase; consent items pass
Summary
The board unanimously approved the appointment of Khalid Sabri to fill a trustee vacancy and took roll‑call votes to award a 2025 sidewalk contract and to buy AEDs; the consent agenda and commission minutes were also approved.
At its May 19 meeting the Village of Villa Park Board of Trustees took multiple recorded actions: the board appointed and swore in Khalid ("Cal") Sabri as village trustee; it approved the consent agenda that included two bill listings; it voted to award a sidewalk construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder; and it approved the purchase of 13 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and accessories.
Appointment: The board confirmed Khalid Sabri as a village trustee for the remainder of the term by roll call after a motion from Trustee Alfano and a second by Trustee Cozart. The roll call recorded all voting trustees in favor and the chair administered the oath.
Sidewalk contract (Resolution A): The board approved a resolution authorizing the village president to execute a contract with Davis Concrete Construction Company of Monee, Illinois, for the 2025 sidewalk improvements in the amount of $288,352. Public works staff reported the project was publicly advertised and that seven bids were opened on April 22, 2025; Davis Concrete submitted the lowest responsible bid. Trustee Cozart moved the resolution and Trustee Sabri seconded; the roll call vote recorded approval by the board.
AED purchase (resolution): The board authorized the village manager to purchase 13 ZOLL 3 AEDs and accessories from Second Chance Cardiac Solutions of Yorkville, Illinois under the State of Illinois joint purchasing agreement for $24,719.50. Staff noted this purchase is the second of three staggered purchases to equip village facilities and vehicles with life‑saving equipment; the purchase is under the village $25,000 threshold and was brought to the board in the interest of transparency. Trustee Kumar moved the resolution and Trustee Alfano seconded; the vote was unanimous.
Consent agenda and commission minutes: The board approved bill listings for May 5 ($170,927.14) and May 12 ($767,034.07) as part of the consent agenda and later accepted commission meeting minutes and reports by roll call.
Each motion was a roll‑call vote. The appointment and the two resolutions passed; staff will execute the contract and proceed with equipment ordering.
