Burr Ridge trustees approve consent agenda including EV-charging zoning text amendment and $1.56M police technology contract
Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda 5–0, adopting a zoning text amendment to classify EV charging stations as an accessory use across zoning districts and awarding a 10-year master purchase agreement for police software and hardware worth $1,564,279, among other contracts and payments totaling roughly $752,534.41.
The Burr Ridge village board unanimously approved the meeting consent agenda on March 23, approving multiple ordinances, contract awards and vendor lists.
Key consent items: The board approved a zoning text amendment (ZO-2026-02) to classify electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations as an accessory use in all zoning districts, to define transportation electrification technology and to add flexibility to minimum parking requirements to accommodate EV chargers. The board also approved a 10‑year master purchase agreement with Exxon Enterprises of Scottsdale, Arizona, to provide police software and hardware services in the amount of $1,564,279.
Other approvals included an award to Lakeshore Recycling Systems of West Chicago, Illinois, for street-sweeping services ($41,000), a landscaping maintenance award to Berry Landscape Management Inc. of Brookfield, Illinois ($59,200), a special-event permit for the Metro Infectious Disease Consultants 5K on Oct. 3, 2026, and the vendor list for fiscal year 2026 in the amount of $478,489.50 plus payroll totaling $274,044.91, for a grand total of $752,534.41 for all funds.
Vote and procedure: Mayor Grosso called for a motion to approve the listed consent items; a motion and second were made, and the board approved the consent agenda by roll call with a unanimous vote recorded as 5–0.
Why it matters: The zoning text amendment clarifies the village’s regulatory treatment of EV chargers across zoning districts and loosens minimum-parking calculations to allow charger installations to be accommodated. The master purchase agreement for police technology is a multi-year contract with a sizable fiscal commitment.
What’s next: Implementation will move forward under the respective departments’ procurement and contract-administration processes; specific contract start dates and vendor onboarding were not specified at the meeting.
