Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved selling two Village-owned vacant lots adjacent to 718 S. 8th Ave under ANLAP with a reduced administrative fee, authorized a VALOR dispatch patch costing $69,664 to link Maywood to Broadview’s dispatch, and approved a four-way stop at Fifth Avenue and Warren Street.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on Nov. 13 approved three operational items affecting property ownership, public safety communications and traffic control.
The Board voted to sell two adjacent Village-owned vacant parcels at 718 S. 8th Avenue (PIN 15-10-434-014 and a portion of PIN 15-10-434-012) under the Adjacent Neighbor Land Acquisition Program (ANLAP). Angela Smith, Coordinator of Business Development, said the sale would correct inaccuracies in parcel identification and that the petitioner requested reducing the administrative deposit from $1,500 to $750. Trustee I. Brandon moved the sale and Trustee M. Lightford seconded; the motion carried but Trustee K. Wellington voted no.
Police Chief Vladimir Talley Jr. requested authorization to implement a communications patch to integrate Maywood with Broadview’s centralized assisted dispatch system (VALOR). The Board approved the VALOR patch with a bid waiver; the quoted implementation cost is $69,664.00 and staff projected work to begin in January 2019.
On traffic safety, the Traffic & Safety Commission recommended erecting a four-way stop at Fifth Avenue and Warren Street following a traffic study and new nearby development; Chief Talley endorsed the recommendation. Trustee A. Sanchez moved and Trustee M. Lightford seconded the measure, which passed unanimously.
Context and implications: the lot sale corrects property-line/PIN issues and reduces the up-front administrative fee for the petitioner; the dispatch patch aims to improve interjurisdictional communications with Broadview’s system; the four-way stop addresses speeding and vehicle-pedestrian safety at a village intersection.
Next steps: Finance and the Clerk’s Office will process the lot-sale closing and administrative fee adjustments; Police Department staff will schedule VALOR implementation activities; Public Works will order and install the signage for the new four-way stop.
