Maywood trustees approve Warrant List and a string of vendor payments and contracts
Summary
At a May 19 special meeting the Village of Maywood board approved Warrant List No. 200493 and an omnibus package of payments and contracts including an $87,605.34 carpet replacement at Village Hall and several large vendor payments; minutes show a discrepancy in the warrant total within the record.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on May 19 approved Warrant List No. 200493 and an omnibus package of payments and contracts that included insurance, water and service bills and capital contracts.
Trustee Sanchez moved approval of Warrant List No. 200493; Trustee Lightford seconded and the motion carried. The minutes record the warrant total as $1,411,641.49 in one place but, later in the text of the motion, list $14,411,641.49. The minutes do not reconcile the discrepancy; the board approved the warrant list as recorded.
The board also approved an omnibus motion covering a long list of payments and resolutions, including a Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance premium payment of $286,704.53, City of Chicago water charges of $342,301.25, a payment to the Village of Melrose Park for water services of $223,390.20, and a $50,710 payment to Cleansified for COVID-19 supplies. The omnibus list included a resolution to update the downtown transit-oriented development plan and authorization of several engineering and resurfacing agreements. Trustee Jones moved the omnibus package (items A–EE) with two items pulled for separate votes.
The board approved a specific facilities contract with Empire Today to remove and replace carpet in Village Hall at a listed price of $87,605.34; the minutes say Sourcewell pricing was used so a bid waiver was not required. Other listed payments included M&J Asphalt Paving Company, Hancock Engineering, Klein Thorpe & Jenkins (legal services), and various equipment and maintenance vendors.
Mayor Edwenna Perkins and trustees did not debate the omnibus list line-by-line during the meeting; the omnibus motion passed with the votes recorded in the minutes. The meeting record lists each payment and resolution as part of the omnibus approval.
What happens next: the approved payments will be processed through the Village’s accounting procedures; the minutes note the figures and vendors to inform future audit and budget tracking.
