Maywood board approves $678,616.24 warrant list and $332,854.89 water payment after questions on invoices
Summary
Trustees approved Warrant List #200476 for $678,616.24 and authorized a $332,854.89 payment to the City of Chicago for water services; Trustee Booker queried individual invoices and the open invoices report totaling $3,314,715.37.
Trustees approved Warrant List No. 200476 in the amount of $678,616.24 on Sept. 17 after Trustee N. Booker raised questions about specific invoices, including payments to Jonette Greenhow ($500), Rhonda Sherrod ($450) and an anomalous negative entry for Lewis Lawn Services of roughly $7,000. Finance Director Lanya Satchell and Mayor Edwenna Perkins responded to those inquiries during the meeting.
Separately, Trustee Sanchez pulled a large omnibus payment for City of Chicago water services; trustees approved the $332,854.89 payment covering service from July 16 through Aug. 15, 2019 after brief discussion about a past-due account. The board also discussed an Open Invoices Report listing $3,314,715.37 in outstanding invoices as of Aug. 28, 2019; that item was recorded as discussion only.
Omnibus consent items approved at the meeting included payments for professional services and public-works contracts such as Baker Tilly ($9,175.00) and Triggi Construction ($221,061.60), among others listed in the agenda. Questions about vendor charges and partnerships (Trustee Booker suggested partnering with the park district on one item) were addressed by staff.
The approvals were recorded by voice vote and carried without recorded opposition unless otherwise noted.
