The Village of Hanover Park board approved several procurement and financial items during its January meeting, including emergency equipment purchases and multi-million-dollar warrants.
On the consent agenda the board approved the purchase of two Stryker Expedition power stair chairs from Stryker for $42,663.80 and authorized the village manager to execute necessary documents. Trustees were told a two-thirds vote of the corporate authorities was required for that purchase.
Separately, the board approved the award for 12 Lion Gear structural firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles from Fire Ground Supply for $90,698.28 and authorized the interim village manager to execute documents; that motion also carried with the required two-thirds vote.
The board approved a warrant dated Jan. 15, 2026, in the amount of $2,119,212.76, and approved payments made in advance for the period Dec. 12, 2025, through Jan. 9, 2026, totaling $1,340,092.88. The board also approved November 2025 P-card charges of $12,941.31. Taken together, those approvals account for roughly $3,605,609.03 in expenditures authorized or ratified at the meeting.
Roll-call votes were recorded for each motion and trustees voting in favor were recorded on the meeting record. Several items required a two-thirds corporate-authority vote because they were awarded following competitive bidding; the clerk called roll for each motion and votes were recorded as ‘yes’ by the trustees present.
The board provided no further discussion of the purchases during the meeting and proceeded to the next agenda items.
