Forest Park council approves $1.09 million in bills and several contractor pay requests
Summary
The Forest Park Village Council adopted a batch of bills totaling $1,094,884.49 and approved pay requests for alley and lead-service projects, an architectural services agreement for a fire-station renovation and a tree-planting grant at its July 14 meeting.
The Village of Forest Park council approved a package of bills totaling $1,094,884.49 and several contract pay requests and grant acceptances at its July 14 regular meeting.
The clerk read an aggregation of departmental bills amounting to $1,094,884.49 and the council adopted the resolution to dispense with reading individual invoices (Resolution R62.25). The roll call recorded affirmative votes from the council and the resolution carried.
The council also approved Pay Request No. 2 for the 2025 Green Alley improvements, awarding payment to J. Nardulli Construction Company (Resolution R63.25). The body approved Pay Request No. 4 for the 2024 Lead Service Replacement Stage One project to Joel Kennedy Construction Corporation (Resolution R64.25).
Council members authorized a professional architectural services agreement with Smith Architecture Ltd. for the Forest Park Fire Station renovation (Resolution R65.25) and accepted an Illinois Community Canopy Tree Planting Partnership grant (transcript lists $4,400 then $4,845; Resolution R66.25).
All of the above measures were moved and seconded from the dais and carried by recorded voice votes. The clerk recorded the roll-call affirmations for each item; no detailed vote tallies beyond the recorded ayes were provided in the transcript for the pay-request and contract items. (On an earlier procedural vote to approve regular meeting minutes, the transcript shows Commissioner Vogt abstained; subsequent new-business resolutions were recorded as approved by aye votes.)
The council also approved three recommended appointments — two to the Environmental Control Commission and one to the Recreation Board — thanking residents for volunteering.
Next steps: contract paperwork and grant-acceptance forms will be processed by village staff; the transcript records no conditions or amendments to the contracts at the meeting.
