The Maywood Board of Trustees adopted the village’s fiscal 2021–22 operating budget and approved an omnibus package of contracts and payments at a special meeting on March 16, 2021, held in Council Chambers.
Finance Director Lanya Satchell presented Warrant List No. 200510, covering expenditures through March 11, 2021, in the amount of $968,216.50; trustees approved the warrant after questions from several trustees about specific check numbers. Satchell then delivered a recap of the proposed FY2021–22 operating budget, covering the period May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022.
The omnibus vote (Items A–I on the agenda) included: adoption of the FY2021–22 budget ordinance; a resolution to retain Edwin Hancock Engineering Company to provide engineering services for Warren Street roadway improvements (funded in part by FY2020 CDBG and general funds); legal services invoices totaling $22,476.51 for January 2021; and vendor payments including Accu‑tron Computer Service ($6,300), Harris Computer Systems ($12,482.24 prorated maintenance), Illinois Department of Employment Security ($6,554), Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Water Revolving Fund payment of $27,106.99), and a payment to J. Nardulli Concrete for $84,892.33 related to the 2020 Green Infrastructure Alley Improvements Project. All omnibus items passed on recorded roll calls with the present members voting aye.
In separate new‑business votes the board approved a resolution waiving competitive bidding and authorizing an agreement with Unique Plumbing Co. for construction services on an emergency water interconnection replacement at 10th Avenue and Roosevelt Road (to be funded from Roosevelt Road TIF and water/garbage enterprise funds). Trustees also approved an agreement with Edwin Hancock Engineering for preliminary and design engineering for the Madison Street water main improvements (21st Avenue to 17th Avenue), which will use a DCEO grant supplemented by a village match.
Mayor Edwenna Perkins framed the meeting with a theme she said reflected the board’s outlook for the year: "A shift is coming; things are changing in our favor, when the people get a mind to work." The meeting record shows no formal dissent on the omnibus and project approvals.
What happens next: several of the approved engineering agreements and project contracts will move to design and construction phases and will be funded from the sources listed in the agenda materials; the village will process vendor payments and contracts according to the approved appropriations and cover memos.
