Summary
Trustees confirmed several commission appointments, voted to eliminate individual board spending accounts, approved a reimbursement for Mayor Perkins, and unanimously passed a resolution supporting federal universal background checks for all gun sales.
At its Dec. 17 meeting the Village of Maywood Board of Trustees approved several municipal appointments, removed individual trustee spending accounts, and passed a resolution supporting federal universal background checks.
Appointments approved included Tywanna Grace-Rand, Rose O'Campo and Tanya Butler to the Beautification Commission; Tennille Campbell to the Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals (replacing Miguel Jones); and Christopher Parker to the Economic Development Commission (replacing Edwin Walker IV). The mayor pulled the appointment of Serge Olivier for incomplete information.
Trustee N. Booker moved to eliminate individual Village Board spending accounts; the motion passed with Trustees A. Sanchez, K. Wellington, M. Lightford and N. Booker voting yes and Mayor Perkins, Trustee I. Brandon and Trustee M. Jones voting no. The board also approved reimbursement to Mayor Perkins for $70.91 for toys donated to the PAEC Toy Drive; a separate reimbursement for Trustee I. Brandon lacked a second and died.
Trustee M. Jones introduced a resolution supporting federal legislation to require universal background checks for all gun sales; the resolution passed unanimously. Manager Willie Norfleet responded to public comments earlier in the meeting and Trustee Miguel Jones was directed to work with the attorney to refine an MOU establishing an intergovernmental assembly.
The actions are recorded in the minutes and will require follow-up by the clerk’s office and relevant commissions for onboarding and administrative implementation.
