The Village of Oak Lawn Board of Trustees approved multiple routine items and a major disbursement at its Sept. 10, 2024 meeting.
By unanimous roll call the board passed the consent agenda, which included: waivers of village resource fees for several community events and parades; the Traffic Safety Committee recommendation for a guardrail or pylons in front of 5015 West 90th Street and Ordinance 24‑15‑58 authorizing a parkway guardrail at that location; a resolution waiving competitive bidding and approving an agreement with PowerFone Incorporated for software licensing, implementation and training ($113,785 for implementation plus $23,472.80 for licensing/training); and Resolution 25‑15‑63 approving a bid from G & M Cement Construction Inc. for the CDBG ADA replacement project in the amount of $588,640.
The board also approved Disbursement Resolution number 2024‑15B dated Sept. 10, 2024 in the amount of $10,314,763.41. Trustees voted by roll call to pay the bills; the clerk recorded all trustees voting in favor on the motion as presented at the meeting.
Trustees then approved Ordinance 24‑15‑59, amending Title 3 (Business and License Regulation), Chapter 3 (Liquor Control), Section 3‑3‑6, to adjust classifications, closing hours and regulations for Sunday sales. Early voting for the general election was announced for Oct. 21–Nov. 4 at the Oak Lawn Public Library Lower Meeting Room C; Village Hall will serve as the Nov. 5 precinct polling place.
In other business, public works staff briefed the board on IDOT’s reconstruction of the 90th Street/Harlem interchange — a multi‑phase project that will reconfigure the existing cloverleaf and is expected to continue into late 2025 with intermittent lane closures and traffic impacts.
What's next: Implementation and contractor scheduling for the CDBG ADA project and software licensing were not detailed at the meeting; staff were directed to follow standard contracting and reporting procedures.
