Oak Lawn trustees approve lengthy consent agenda, adopt budget and multiple contracts
Summary
The Village of Oak Lawn enacted a lengthy consent agenda Dec. 9 that included adoption of the 2026 municipal budget, tax levy and several contract awards (Dale Inc., Sendik LLC) as well as a settlement agreement and a termination of the Earthworks contract; the slate was approved by a single motion and roll-call vote.
The Village of Oak Lawn Board of Trustees on Dec. 9 approved a multi-item consent agenda that included ordinances, resolutions and contract awards covering zoning variances, the municipal budget, water and sewer rates, and construction and consulting contracts.
Items called on the consent agenda included (select highlights read into the record by the clerk): an ordinance amending the 2025 municipal budget to provide additional police and fire pension funding (Ordinance 25 20 69); an ordinance adopting the 2026 Village of Oak Lawn municipal budget (Ordinance 25 20 72); ordinances amending water and sewer rates (Ordinances 25 20 73 and 25 20 74); acceptance of bids and contract awards to Dale Incorporated for the 2026 concrete repair program and a 2026 sidewalk repair program; a resolution waiving competitive bidding for Sendik LLC consulting services ($106,009); a settlement agreement in Cervantes v. Village of Oak Lawn (Resolution 25 21 02); and Resolution 25 21 03 authorizing termination, for convenience, of the contract with Earthworks Lands Improvement and Development Corp.
A single trustee moved and another seconded the consent agenda and the board approved the slate by roll call. The clerk later presented Disbursement Resolution 2025-20D for $14,094,119.68, which the board also approved.
Because the items were enacted on the consent agenda, the meeting record does not include separate debates or recorded roll-call votes for each individual ordinance or resolution; the board treated the listed items as routine and moved them forward with a single motion.
What was not specified on the record: the transcript does not include contract values for several listed items (except the Sendik LLC proposal), nor does it list project-specific implementation timetables for each approved contract. Any further procurement documentation, contract copies, or settlement details would be required to confirm specifics not read into the meeting record.
