Broadview board approves $715,045.29 in bills, authorizes Rush Truck Center repairs and passes consent agenda
Summary
Trustees approved an AP warrant list totaling $715,045.29, authorized a $42,970.10 expenditure for truck repairs tied to a $100,000 state plowing contract, and approved a five‑item consent agenda including the FY2023 audit and CDBG subrecipient agreement.
The Broadview Village Board voted to pay its bills, authorize a Public Works purchase order for vehicle repairs linked to a state plowing contract, and approve a five‑item consent agenda during its regular board meeting.
Trustee Abraham, the finance chair, read the AP warrant list and reported a grand total of $715,045.29 in expenditures for the period ending Dec. 30, 2025, noting that expenditures over $2,500 summed to $671,263.33. Among line items read into the record were Broadview Westchester Joint Water Agency for $267,869.14 and Compass Minerals America for $53,965.02. Trustee Abraham concluded the warrant report and the board approved paying the bills by roll call.
The board next considered an off‑budget purchase order totaling $42,970.10 to Rush Truck Center for Public Works vehicle repairs. Director Hood said the repairs were necessary because a large truck had broken soon after the village secured a state contract to plow state routes and that the village expects to be reimbursed by the state. “We are going to be paid a $100,000 from the state to plow the state routes here in town. To do that, we need bigger trucks,” Hood said, adding that repairs and related expenses (salt, labor) will allow the village to execute contractual obligations.
Trustees moved and approved the Rush Truck Center expenditure by roll call.
The board also established and approved a consent agenda of five items: acceptance of the FY2023 audit; a resolution supporting the West Cook bicycle and pedestrian plan (advancing safe routes to school and regional funding opportunities); a resolution authorizing the village president to enter a subrecipient agreement with Cook County for 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds; an agreement with Sea Orba Group Inc. for construction engineering services related to the 21st Street water main crossing; and an ordinance approving the final plat for a re‑subdivision of Lot 9, Village Square. The motion to establish the consent agenda and the motion to approve the listed items each carried by roll call (recorded 5–0).
The clerk announced that three scheduled public commenters were not present. The mayor also read a resolution honoring Bishop Clyde Porter of PLCCA and expressed condolences for the recent passing of Ernie Bauman of Maywood Fine Arts.
The board adjourned at 9:12 p.m.
