Summary
At its May 18 meeting the Village of Maywood approved Warrant List No. 200513 for $1,421,876.71 and authorized payments to vendors including Allied Waste, the City of Chicago (water), Unique Plumbing (emergency water main work), and others; a settlement resolution in Bettie Jones v. Village of Maywood was also approved (amount not specified in the record).
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted May 18 to approve Warrant List No. 200513 through May 12, 2021, for $1,421,876.71, and to authorize a series of vendor payments included on the agenda.
Trustee A. Sanchez moved to approve the warrant list and Trustee N. Booker seconded; the board recorded unanimous ayes for that motion. The warrant and related agenda items included specific payments listed on the record: Allied Waste Service ($164,106.40) for garbage/roll‑off services; City of Chicago water charges ($251,447.30) covering service March 25–April 20, 2021; Unique Plumbing emergency water main connection at 10th Avenue ($105,041.15) and a Roosevelt Road water service transfer ($145,361.31); payments to M & J Asphalt ($5,000.00), City Wide of Chicago for janitorial services ($15,049.04), Hancock Engineering ($32,272.23) for CDBG work and other listed items. The agenda also included approval of membership and training fees for the police department and computing/consulting services.
The board also approved a resolution authorizing payment under the settlement agreement in Bettie Jones v. Village of Maywood (Cook County Circuit Court Case No. 2020‑L‑013814); the transcript records approval of the settlement payment but does not list a settlement amount. Item E, a $25,000 insurance renewal payment to Mesirow Insurance Services, was discussed because it had already been paid; Village Manager Willie Norfleet explained the matter on the record before the board approved it.
Several approvals were bundled as omnibus items (motion: Trustee A. Sanchez; second: Trustee M. Lightford) and were adopted by roll call. The board’s finance director and village manager were listed in staff attendance; no additional staff presentations or detailed line‑item discussion are reflected in the transcript beyond the open invoices report showing $58,755.81 outstanding as of May 12, 2021 (information only).
