Summary

Village Manager Willie Norfleet presented a proposed $50,658,676 FY2020/2021 budget at an April 7 public hearing. Trustees raised COVID-19-related concerns and tabled a separate motion to add $7,000 for the Economic Development Commission; the board took no action to approve the budget.

Village Manager Willie Norfleet presented the proposed Fiscal Year 2020/2021 Village of Maywood budget, totaling $50,658,676, during a public hearing held during the board’s special meeting on April 7.

The presentation, delivered by Norfleet via PowerPoint after the board recessed into the public hearing, outlined the village’s proposed revenues and appropriations for the period May 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021. Norfleet also read the published public hearing notice and explained COVID-19 restrictions on physical attendance and the procedures for submitting public comments.

Why it matters: The village budget sets spending for core services and capital work, and decisions this spring will determine whether planned projects — including street repairs — proceed as proposed amid the public-health emergency.

Trustees A. Sanchez and N. Booker raised concerns that the COVID-19 pandemic could affect revenues and future village events and activities, creating uncertainty for discretionary spending. Trustee I. Brandon questioned the status of the Washington Boulevard Street Repair Project and highlighted an Economic Development Commission (EDC) request for a $7,000 increase that had been presented to Community Development personnel.

Brandon moved to allocate an additional $7,000 to the EDC; Trustee Sanchez seconded. Several trustees asked why the proposal was brought at this stage of the process rather than earlier in the budgeting review. The board amended the motion and voted to table the allocation to the next meeting; the motion carried with Mayor Edwenna Perkins and Trustees I. Brandon, M. Jones, A. Sanchez, K. Wellington and N. Booker voting aye. Trustee M. Lightford was absent.

No formal action was taken to approve the FY2020/2021 ordinance at the hearing. There were no public questions or comments recorded during the hearing segment. After discussion the board closed the public hearing and reconvened the special regular meeting at 8:03 p.m.

Next steps: The ordinance to adopt the FY2020/2021 budget remains pending and will return for board consideration at a future meeting; the $7,000 EDC allocation was explicitly tabled to the next meeting for further review.
