Votes at a glance: consent agenda, emergency water payment, bond-levy abatement; Zol contract tabled
Summary
At its recent meeting the La Grange Park village board approved routine consent items, authorized payment for emergency water repairs totaling $40,117.50 and adopted an ordinance abating $99,500 of the 2016 bond levy for 2025; the board also unanimously voted to postpone action on a vendor contract for cardiac monitors pending the vendor’s legal review.
The La Grange Park village board approved several routine and fiscal items in a unanimous series of votes at its meeting.
The board first approved its consent agenda, which included minutes from the Feb. 24, 2026 village board meeting and the March 10, 2026 work session, amendments to portions of the municipal code related to building permits and floodplain/stormwater requirements, and authorizations for signatures on payroll and accounts payable registers. The motion passed unanimously on roll call.
On a separate finance item the board approved a resolution authorizing payment of invoices to Unique Plumbing Company for emergency water system repairs in the total amount of $40,117.50 and waived the competitive procurement process because the work had already been completed on an emergency basis, staff said. Trustee Sheen moved the resolution and the board approved it unanimously.
The board also considered an ordinance to abate a portion of the 2016 road and fire bond levy for 2025. Staff recommended an abatement of $99,500 to maintain a sufficient debt service balance after late property-tax distributions from Cook County; the ordinance passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
Finally, the board voted unanimously to postpone consideration of a contract with Zol Medical Corporation for two cardiac monitors after the village’s legal review was complete but the vendor’s legal team had not finished its review. Village legal counsel said staff and village attorneys had reviewed their contract form and were ready to proceed once the vendor’s counsel signed off.
