Maywood delays decision on West Regional Enterprise Zone cost‑sharing agreement after legal review
Summary
Trustees heard staff summaries of an intergovernmental cost‑sharing agreement for the West Regional Enterprise Zone but deferred the item when the village attorney cited potential conflicts in the draft language and recommended further review.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on March 3 considered an Intergovernmental Cost‑Sharing Agreement (IGA) for the West Regional Enterprise Zone but deferred action after the village attorney flagged problematic provisions and asked staff to review and revise the draft.
Business Development Coordinator Angela Smith presented supporting materials and a summary of the IGA. Village Manager Willie Norfleet Jr. raised concerns about potential conflicts, including phrasing that could allow duplicate payments to employees (described in the meeting as "double dipping"). Village Attorney Michael Jurusik identified specific pages and sections he recommended revisiting (items cited in the packet as Next Steps, Item #3 and Section 2 Cost Sharing Matter, Item F) and recommended the item be brought back after staff and counsel had time to reconcile the language. Trustee I. Brandon spoke in favor of the agreement as presented; other trustees and staff agreed to review the document further.
No vote was taken. Jurusik asked for staff review to resolve the cited conflicts before the board takes formal action.
