Summary
Trustees approved Warrant List No. 200465 for $333,168.79, reviewed $3,497,615.67 in open invoices (information only), approved an omnibus package of ordinances and vendor payments (A–N), and postponed a Baker Tilly audit presentation to a later date.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on Feb. 5 approved Warrant List No. 200465 through Jan. 31, 2019 for $333,168.79 (motion by Trustee Yarbrough; second by Trustee Lightford). The Board also reviewed an Open Invoices Report listing $3,497,615.67 in outstanding balances; that report was received for information only.
A scheduled finance presentation by Jason Coyle of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP reviewing the April 30, 2018 financial statements and several TIF audits was postponed until the next meeting.
The Board then approved an omnibus motion covering agenda items A through N. The omnibus package included: an ordinance authorizing Madison Street/5th Avenue TIF expenditures to pay for the sewer televising and cleaning project; an ordinance vacating a portion of a north–south public alley; a collective bargaining agreement with Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 73 covering Maywood firefighters (term noted as May 1, 2018 to April 30, 2022); multiple legal services invoices; and several large payments, including health-insurance premiums to Blue Cross Blue Shield ($291,293.21), City of Chicago water purchases ($292,894.68), and a final payment to Seal Guard, Inc. for masonry work ($27,799.40).
The omnibus motion was made by Trustee Wellington and seconded by Trustee Lightford and passed with all present members voting aye; Trustee R. Rivers was recorded absent.
Why it matters: approving vendor payments and retaining labor agreements are recurring but consequential municipal actions; the open-invoices total reported to the Board highlights outstanding obligations that will appear in future budgetary discussions.
What’s next: staff will schedule the postponed audit presentation for the next meeting and continue to monitor and report on open invoices as part of fiscal oversight.
