Westmont board approves consent agenda, reapproves Cass Avenue plat, extends fuel contract and clarifies multifamily recycling
Summary
At its Feb. 5 meeting the Westmont Village Board approved the consent agenda (including Finance Ordinance No. 3 and purchase orders), reapproved a plat consolidating six parcels at 1 N. Cass Ave., exercised a one-year option on a fuel contract with Al Warren Oil Co., and adopted a text amendment clarifying multifamily recycling requirements.
The Westmont Village Board on Feb. 5 approved its consent agenda and passed three new ordinances covering a plat reapproval, a one-year extension on a fuel contract, and a text amendment to multifamily recycling requirements.
Consent agenda: Village Manager Gunther reviewed the consent items, including minutes from Jan. 22, 2026; Finance Ordinance No. 3 in the amount of $1,809,239.62; and purchase orders totaling $103,425.02 (Atlas Toyota Material Handling: $45,925.02 for a 2026 Toyota forklift; Lithoprint Incorporated: $57,500 for community news magazine printing). The consent agenda was moved by Trustee Linda Little and seconded by Trustee Bob Plowman; roll call was unanimous and the motion passed. During the review, the manager read a line in the printed packet that listed $100,000,912,664.64 as a total — an apparent clerical or typographical error in the printed agenda; staff did not change the approval motion and the consent items were adopted as described above.
1 North Cass Avenue plat reapproval: The board considered an ordinance to reapprove a plat of vacation and the final plat of subdivision to consolidate six parcels into a single lot at 1 North Cass Avenue. Director Hennepine described the action as largely a cleanup of legal descriptions tied to an earlier December 24 approval that consolidated parking lots across the railroad tracks. Trustee Matt Scales moved to approve; Trustee Linda Little seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous and the ordinance was adopted.
Fuel contract (gasoline and diesel): Director Reese presented an ordinance to exercise the third option year on the village’s joint fuel contract with Al Warren Oil Company Inc.; the one-year term would run April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The contract was procured as part of a DuPage County-led joint bid that included about 20–30 municipalities. Trustee Bruce Barker moved to approve; Trustee Matt Scales seconded. The board voted unanimously to exercise the option year.
Multifamily recycling code amendment: Assistant Village Manager Parker explained a text amendment to Chapter 66, Article 3 of the Village Code to clarify multifamily recycling requirements after the village entered into an exclusive recycling-provider arrangement. The amendment removes language that only applied parts of the article when there was no exclusive provider and makes clear that multifamily properties must continue to provide recycling. A motion to approve was seconded and passed by unanimous roll call.
Why this matters: The legislation keeps routine municipal operations moving — approving a cleanup to a land subdivision, extending a joint fuel contract used for municipal fleets, and clarifying recycling obligations for multifamily properties. Residents should note the April 1 start date for the fuel contract year and the clarified recycling expectations for rental property managers.
