Maywood board approves police vehicle replacement and administrative hearings for overweight citations
Summary
The trustees approved purchase of a 2020 Ford Explorer to replace a totaled MPD tactical vehicle and authorized prosecuting overweight-vehicle citations through administrative hearings; the vehicle and outfitting were approved with a bid waiver for an estimated total of $44,007.99.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on Feb. 16 approved two police department proposals: replacement of a damaged MPD tactical vehicle and implementation of administrative hearings for overweight-vehicle citations.
Police Chief Valdimir Talley said the department’s tactical vehicle was damaged beyond repair and requested approval to purchase a 2020 Ford Explorer from Joe Rizza Ford for $36,630.60 and to outfit it with required equipment. The estimated total cost including equipment and outfitting was $44,007.99; the board approved the purchase with a bid waiver.
Separately, the board approved MPD Proposal No. 04 to prosecute overweight vehicle citations through administrative hearings rather than the prior prosecution method. Trustees approved that change unanimously, and the motion was recorded with no further discussion at the meeting.
Both actions passed by unanimous vote of present members. The meeting record does not list the vendor line-item details for outfitting equipment beyond the total estimate, nor does it specify the administrative hearing rules or which municipal administrative hearing officer will preside; staff follow-up will be required to establish implementation procedures.
