Forest Park council approves routine bills, contracts and program requests; awards Green Alley contract
Summary
The council adopted a bills resolution totaling $570,979.83, approved an ordinance updating water and sewer rates (Ordinance 011-26), awarded the Green Alley Project No. 3 contract to Nardulli Construction (R40-26), authorized a strategic communications agreement (R41-26), and approved a series of routine permits and community program agreements.
Forest Park's Village Council approved a slate of routine fiscal and administrative items at its May 11 meeting, including adoption of bills, an ordinance updating water and sewer rates, contract awards, and multiple permits and program agreements.
The clerk read expenditures across multiple funds totaling $570,979.83; following a motion by Commissioner Maxim and a second by Commissioner Nero, the council adopted the bills resolution (R39-26) by roll call.
On an annual basis the council considered Ordinance 011-26 to amend village water and sewer rates and charges. A commissioner noted the village updates rates to cover pass-through charges from the City of Chicago and that the current pass-through charges are lower than in previous years, producing a smaller-than-normal increase.
The council authorized the contract award for the Green Alley Project No. 3 (800 block of Thomas) to Nardulli Construction Company (R40-26), and approved a resolution authorizing a strategic communications letter agreement with Jess Gulka Turman Strategic Communications (R41-26). Several other routine approvals passed by vote, including a raffle permit for St. Bernardine's/St. Luke's Parish, applications for use of the public way (Forest Park Arts Alliance and others), a set of community center senior-trip agreements, and a proclamation designating National Public Works Week.
Votes at a glance: R39-26 (bills resolution) — adopted; Ordinance 011-26 (water/sewer rates) — adopted; R40-26 (Green Alley contract) — adopted; R41-26 (strategic communications) — adopted. Multiple other agenda items (personnel motions to hire/promote, permits and program agreements) were approved on unanimous or routine roll calls.
The meeting record shows motions were moved and seconded, with roll-call responses logged by the clerk. No extended debate occurred on these items.
