Summary
On April 15 the committee approved routine contract awards and traffic items (university‑park IGA for signal maintenance; two contract confirmations; an altered speed zone) and postponed several intergovernmental agreements on ALPRs pending policy attachments and review.
The Will County Transportation/Infrastructure Committee on April 15 completed votes on several routine agenda items and postponed consideration of several intergovernmental agreements for automated license‑plate readers (ALPRs) to its next meeting.
Key actions taken:
- Approval of minutes from April 7 (motion by Hickey, second by Freeman; motion carried).
- Postponed items 1–5 (intergovernmental agreements related to ALPRs) to the next meeting, with direction that municipalities attach their current ALPR policies and vendor audit materials for committee review (motion by Oxley, second by Balich; roll call carried).
- Authorized an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of University Park for maintenance and energy of traffic signals at Western/Exchange/University Parkway (motion carried).
- Confirmed contract awards: Iroquois Paving Corporation — Monee maintenance facility parking lot resurfacing; Austin Tyler Construction Inc. — Ridge Road in Jackson Township (motions carried).
- Established an altered speed zone along Flower Street in Plainfield Township (motion carried). Members asked staff for accompanying maps and confirmed mailers had been sent for a slated public meeting.
The committee’s postponement of ALPR IGAs was the only substantive holding action; other items were approved by voice or roll call as noted in the meeting record. Staff indicated municipal partners, not the county, would bear camera installation costs under the IGAs presented.
