Loading...
Summary
The Village of Maywood accepted up to $541,000 in Metropolitan Water Reclamation District funding for three green alleys, approved related engineering agreements and awarded multiple vendor payments in an omnibus motion that also included a demolition contract and a $1-per-year bank lease for the police department.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted Dec. 17 to accept Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) funding for three green infrastructure alley improvements and approved an omnibus package of contracts and payments.
Village Engineer William Peterhansen summarized the MWRD program and said MWRD would provide up to $541,000 to construct three green alleys in Maywood; the board approved the intergovernmental agreement and an engineering contract with Edwin Hancock Engineering Company as part of an omnibus motion. The omnibus also included a demolition and debris removal contract for the 806 S. 12th Ave. property (Evergreen Solution, $25,000), vendor payments including legal services ($5,190 and $24,878.92 line items), Blue Cross Blue Shield health premiums ($277,676.73), City of Chicago water charges ($280,413.36), and construction payment to Triggi Construction for Second Avenue and Washington Boulevard improvements ($97,310.44).
Manager Willie Norfleet noted the green-alley item would be approved via the omnibus. The omnibus motion (Items A–M) passed on a unanimous roll call. Separately, the board approved MPD Proposal No. 28 granting signature authority to enter a lease with Proviso Community Bank for $1 annually, with Trustee I. Brandon the lone nay on that vote.
The approvals require subsequent implementation steps by public works and engineering staff, who will oversee design and construction once contracts and cost-sharing agreements proceed.
