At its Feb. 12 meeting, the Public Works Committee approved routine procedural business, authorized claims totaling $82,898.30 and voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters.
The committee first approved the agenda after a motion, recorded by the presiding officer as "Moved by mister Madero, second by mister Joggers," and a voice vote of "aye." Members then approved the Jan. 8, 2026 meeting minutes following a motion moved by "mister Joggers."
On financial business, the committee considered approval of claims totaling $82,898.30. A committee member (Speaker 2) moved to approve the claims and the motion was seconded by "mister Madero."

Later in the meeting the presiding officer moved that the committee enter executive session "under 5 ILTS 1 22 c," citing employment matters including appointment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees. The motion was seconded by "mister Newk." The roll call recorded "Aye" votes for Newk, Jogers (or Mataro as called on the roll), Jones and Williams; the chair announced the motion carried and the committee entered executive session.
