Loading...
Summary
The board authorized a COVID-19 town hall for April 14, approved the Maywood Fire Department's M.A.B.A.S. dues of $6,000, and authorized a $7,989.19 engine replacement for Public Works' Bobcat.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees approved several operational items during its April 7 meeting: a COVID-19 Town Hall to be held April 14, 2020; payment of the Maywood Fire Department’s M.A.B.A.S. dues for 2020 in the amount of $6,000; and a quote from Atlas Bobcat for an engine replacement (S70 Bobcat) for Public Works in the amount of $7,989.19.
Village Manager Willie Norfleet described a format for the April 14 town hall that would allow residents and businesses to call in, with 30 minutes allocated for questions and 30 minutes for answers, not to exceed 8 p.m. Trustees approved the town hall structure and call-in approach by motion.
Norfleet also summarized a liability insurance renewal presentation from Alliant Mesirow, noting a 5.6% premium increase for the May 1, 2020 – May 1, 2021 policy period; the board received that information as an informational presentation. The M.A.B.A.S. dues and the Atlas Bobcat engine replacement quote were approved by recorded motions and carried unanimously among present trustees.
Why it matters: The town hall is intended to facilitate resident access to village officials during the pandemic; insurance renewals and equipment purchases are routine but affect departmental capacity and operating budgets.
Ending: The approved town hall was scheduled for April 14; the insurance renewal and equipment purchase will proceed as authorized. The board adjourned at 8:48 p.m.
