Maywood board approves large vendor payments and absorbs City of Chicago water-rate increase
Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved a corrected warrant list totaling $1,021,638.83, an omnibus slate of vendor payments, and a decision not to pass a City of Chicago 2.45% water-rate increase to Maywood water users. The board also authorized multiple street and public-safety purchases.
At its April 21 meeting, the Maywood Board of Trustees approved Warrant List No. 200491, with Finance Director Lanya Satchell correcting a duplicate check and reporting a revised total of $1,021,638.83.
On an omnibus motion the board also approved a slate of large vendor payments, including $326,058.64 to the City of Chicago for water services and $172,648.30 to Unique Plumbing Company for Roosevelt Road water-main improvements. The Omnibus motion covered items A through K and passed unanimously.
Village Manager Willie Norfleet told trustees the Village would not pass a City of Chicago-proposed 2.45% water-rate increase (effective June 1, 2020) through to residents; that increase will be absorbed by the Village for a fourth year through efficiency and available resources. Trustees approved not passing the increase by a unanimous vote.
Trustees also approved several operational purchases: two Tapco solar radar speed-display signs from Nafisco, Inc. for $7,784.24 to be installed on Ninth Avenue near Garfield School; pavement striping by Mark-It Striping, Inc. for $34,637.69 (with a bid waiver); and ten sets of structural firefighting protective clothing from Fireground Supply, Inc. for $29,373.50 (with a bid waiver).
Manager Norfleet reported an incoming deposit from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services intended to offset ambulance transport fees related to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients; the transcript lists the amount as "10,3456.77," which appears to be mis-formatted in the record and requires clarification from Finance.
All financial motions recorded in the meeting minutes were approved by recorded motions and are reflected in the board’s omnibus approval and individual votes.
