Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting the Village of Maywood Board of Trustees approved an omnibus package of payments and contracts covering roadwork, sewer cleaning, software maintenance and a $370,366.47 City of Chicago water charge, among other disbursements. Several items were pulled for staff follow‑up.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted Oct. 15 to approve a bundled omnibus package of vendor payments and contract awards covering multiple infrastructure and operating items, including a $370,366.47 charge for City of Chicago water service.
The board approved claims, consultant invoices and construction payments listed in the Omnibus Agenda (Items A–S), which included: M&J Asphalt Paving Company payment of $470,629.28 for the 2019 Roadway Improvement Project within the Madison Street TIF District; Union Pacific Railroad water main construction payment of $187,636.00; Harris Computer Systems MSI software maintenance for $38,424.93; and United Septic, Inc. payment of $12,320.80 for sewer cleaning and televising work. The Omnibus bundle also included legal invoices, actuarial services and other routine payments. The omnibus motion carried with the Board voting in favor; Trustee M. Jones was temporarily absent for part of the vote.
Why it matters: The omnibus approvals represent significant near‑term cash flow for public works and utilities in Maywood and draw on multiple funding sources referenced in the agenda, including TIF and CDBG allocations. The consolidated vote moves several capital and maintenance projects toward completion and obligates the Village to the vendor payment schedule cited in contract documents.
Board process and follow‑up: A small number of items were pulled or postponed for additional staff information, including a transportation-of-deceased‑individuals invoice and a proposed purchase of hand dryers for fire houses; those items were tabled pending staff return. Village Attorney Michael Jurusik and staff will provide follow‑up on questions raised during the meeting, including a specific inquiry about the approval process for a $150 Rotary Club payment that was excluded from the approved warrant list pending review.
The Board adjourned at 11:44 p.m.; staff and the village attorney were assigned to provide requested clarifications at a future meeting.
