The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees approved a package of finance and public‑works items at its Aug. 18, 2020 special meeting, including a warrant list of $1,339,601.01; multiple construction contracts for water‑main, resurfacing and alley green‑infrastructure work; the purchase of public‑works equipment; and an intergovernmental agreement to receive $685,513.71 in Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) reimbursement from Cook County.
On a motion by Trustee I. Brandon and seconded by Trustee A. Sanchez, the board approved Warrant List No. 200496 through Aug. 10, 2020 in the amount of $1,339,601.01. During discussion Trustee N. Booker questioned specific vendor charges; Village Manager Willie Norfleet Jr., Director of Community Development David Myers and Director of Finance Lanya Satchell responded to those inquiries.
The board voted to approve an omnibus package of contracts and resolutions that included, among others: a $39,151.50 contract with Schroeder Asphalt Services for asphalt patching; a $46,440.00 Strada Construction contract for the 2020 sidewalk program; a $838,654.00 Unique Plumbing Company, Inc. contract for Roosevelt Road water service transfer improvements; a $768,722.50 J. Nardulli Concrete, Inc. contract to complete the 2020 Green Infrastructure Alley Improvements Project; and a $478,489.25 Unique Plumbing Company, Inc. contract for 2020 resurfacing and water‑main improvements. The omnibus motion carried by voice vote with Item Z (1113 Nichols Lane) removed from the package and one legal billing item pulled for additional review.
Public Works items approved outside the omnibus included acceptance of a $23,440.00 quote (with bid waiver) from P.J.D. Electric Sales, Inc. to replace light poles, acceptance of an $11,193.69 change order for pavement marking (revising the total marking expenditure to $45,831.38), and purchase of a Graco Line Lazor gas airless striper for $8,410. The board also authorized a $25,000 maximum façade improvement payment for 1416 South 5th Avenue and approved the sale of a village‑owned substandard lot at 1819 South 12th Avenue to adjacent purchasers for $500 under the Adjacent Neighbor Land Acquisition Program (ANLAP).
Village Manager Willie Norfleet Jr. reported the Village qualifies for CRF reimbursement totaling $685,513.71; the board approved the Intergovernmental and Subrecipient Agreement with Cook County to receive those funds. The meeting record shows multiple engineering and construction contracts will be paid from a mix of general funds, TIF funds, Roosevelt Road TIF funds and grant monies as listed in the omnibus exhibits.
Several items were tabled: further discussion of the Village's technical non‑compliance with 2015 refunding bonds was carried to the next meeting; a legal billing item (DD) was pulled and tabled for review; and several miscellaneous items (e.g., Nate Comic Inc. funding and athletic field agreement) were deferred. The board recessed into closed session later in the meeting to discuss probable litigation and personnel matters under statutory exemptions.
