Tinley Park committee approves minutes, votes to enter executive session on potential claims

The Village of Tinley Park Committee of the Whole unanimously approved the minutes of its Nov. 18, 2025 meeting and then voted to adjourn into executive session to discuss reserves and potential claims, the committee said Tuesday evening.

Presiding Officer opened the meeting at 5:51 p.m. and asked the clerk to call the roll. After the roll established a quorum, an unidentified participant moved to approve the Nov. 18 minutes; a second was given and Trustees Brady, Brennan, Mueller, Shaw and Sullivan recorded "Yes" on the roll call. The presiding officer said, "That, motion carries."

Later in the agenda the presiding officer introduced Item 4 and asked for a motion to adjourn to executive session "to discuss a, the establishment of or of reserves or settlement of claims as provided in local gover governmental and governmental employees toward immunity act," per the transcript. An unidentified participant said, "I'll make that motion," and another said, "I'll second." The clerk called the roll again; Trustees Brady, Brennan, Mueller, Shaw and Sullivan voted "Yes," and the committee approved the adjournment into executive session to discuss claims, loss and risk-management information.

The transcript records the stated legal rationale for the executive session in the body of the meeting; the transcript's phrasing of the statute name is garbled. The record does not identify the individuals who moved or seconded either motion by name, and no substantive discussion of the claims matter occurred in public session. The committee then proceeded to executive session as approved.

The committee did not announce a return time or additional public actions in the provided transcript excerpt.
