The Village of New Lenox board approved multiple routine and project-related items Wednesday night in a suite of motions and votes summarized here.
Consent agenda: An 8-item consent agenda (including a proclamation recognizing Certified Government Financial Manager Month, a special-use ordinance for a final PUD plat for Lakes Park Phase 2, contracts for landscape and pump-station painting, an ordinance authorizing disposal of surplus property, a surety release for Hickory Memorial Chapel, a temporary liquor license for a school event, and a raffle license for Providence Catholic High School) was presented and approved after no member requested to pull items for separate discussion.
Hood-cleaning contract: The board approved a hood-cleaning contract for the Crossroads Sports Complex beer garden after a motion and second; the meeting minutes record a roll-call vote carrying the motion.
Culvert replacement: Staff member Mark explained that a failing 40-inch culvert on Sunset Trail has produced sinkholes and potholes; the village solicited quotes and staff recommended Bisping Construction’s low bid of $37,540. The board waived formal bidding and approved the proposal.
Resolution on letter of credit: The board approved a resolution demanding payment on a letter of credit related to Lenny Spoon and Feil; the motion carried by roll-call vote. Details on the underlying development or amounts were not discussed at length in open session.
Payroll and disbursements: The clerk presented a motion to approve bimonthly disbursements and a payroll of $528,513.10 paid on 03/06/2026. The transcript records a disbursement figure as $4,000,020,122.78, which appears inconsistent with normal municipal disbursement amounts and was not clarified during the meeting; that figure is flagged for verification with village finance staff.
All motions documented in the meeting minutes carried by voice or roll-call votes as recorded in the transcript.
