Lombard trustees approve consent agenda covering payroll, contracts and maintenance work

The Village of Lombard Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Jan. 8 to approve a multi-item consent agenda that included payroll and accounts-payable disbursements and a series of contracts and contract amendments for 2026.

The consent package, read into the record by the clerk, included payroll for the period ending Dec. 13, 2025, in the amount of $1,080,231.65 and accounts-payable batches of $930,025.96 (period ending Dec. 19, 2025) and $2,577,227.92 (period ending Dec. 26, 2025), for a combined total of $4,587,485.53. The agenda also listed an ordinance to authorize the sale or disposal of surplus equipment and multiple contract approvals and amendments.

Notable items in the package were a final balancing change order for the 2025 asphalt roadway program that reduced the contract with Schroeder Asphalt Services by $26,092.33, a $47,100 design-engineering amendment for the Charles Lane Basin Improvements with Engineering Resource Associates, and a $29,350 contract award to Bedrock Earthscapes of Wien for detention-pond maintenance and native-plant management. The board also approved plan-review and inspection service contracts for 2026, including agreements with Thompson Elevator Inspection Service (not to exceed $30,000), BNF Construction Code Services, Safe Built Illinois, and Tom Thomas Engineering Group (not to exceed $40,000). The board authorized an increase to MGT of America Consulting's temporary-staffing contract by $10,000 to a not-to-exceed $155,000 amount for 2025, and approved a waiver of bids to contract with MGT Impact Solutions for temporary employee services up to $120,000 annually for 2026–2028.

The motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Trustee Bachner and seconded by Trustee Dudek. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote; all trustees present voted in the affirmative, and the motion carried.

The meeting concluded without an executive session and was adjourned following the unanimous vote.
