Board approves EMS billing contract, leaf‑disposal change order and stormwater engineering agreement
Loading...
Summary
Trustees unanimously authorized a new EMS billing-services agreement with EMSMC (service fee reduced to 4.5%), approved a $9,000 change order for additional leaf disposal, and authorized up to $38,000 for design engineering on the Scottsdale headwall replacement.
At its meeting, the La Grange Park board approved three contract actions and took a procedural vote to enter executive session.
EMSMC billing agreement: The board approved a resolution authorizing execution of a billing‑services agreement and business associate addendum (HIPAA) with EMS Management & Consultants, Inc. (EMSMC), which acquired the village's prior provider, Andres Medical. Staff reported the service fee will drop from 4.75% to 4.5% and the agreement runs through Jan. 31, 2027, with automatic annual renewals. Trustees asked staff to confirm that billing procedures and the handling of resident charges would not change; staff said terms and collection practices remain the same.
Leaf‑disposal change order: Public works presented Change Order No. 1 to the Landscape Material and Firewood Sales Inc. leaf‑hauling contract to account for heavier, snow‑saturated loads that reduced truck capacity; the board approved a not‑to‑exceed $9,000 increase that raises the contract from $36,000 to $45,000.
Scottsdale headwall engineering agreement: Trustees authorized a professional‑services agreement with Edward Hancock Engineering Company for design services related to the Scottsdale storm‑sewer headwall replacement. Staff said additional permitting raised the expected design cost above the $14,000 budgeted amount; the board approved spending up to $38,000 from sewer funds for the design.
Executive session: The board voted unanimously to adjourn into executive session to discuss personnel matters under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) and indicated it would not reconvene to open session until the next regular meeting on Feb. 10, 2026.
All contract and change‑order measures were approved by unanimous roll call.
