Lombard trustees approve consent agenda covering street work, vehicle and tree purchases; recess to executive session
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved a consent agenda that included payroll and accounts-payable items, a $1,049,000 IDOT roadway funding obligation for North Grama Street, a $48,390 vehicle purchase and a tree-planting commitment, then voted to enter executive session on negotiations, property and personnel.
President Michael Puccio said trustees approved a consent agenda and then voted to recess into executive session at the Village of Lombard Board of Trustees meeting on Jan. 22.
The clerk read a consent agenda that included payroll and accounts-payable items for multiple pay periods totaling more than $6 million, a first-reading ordinance and a waiver-of-bid request to purchase one Ford F-150 responder from Curry Motors for $48,390, and a design-engineering amendment No. 2 with Baxter & Woodman for $6,945 related to North Grama Street. The agenda also included a resolution documenting the village's funding obligation to the Illinois Department of Transportation for North Grama Street roadway improvements in the amount of $1,049,000 and a request to join the Suburban Tree Consortium with planting purchases not to exceed $167,000 (five-year lead commitment).
President Puccio sought a motion to approve. Trustee Militello moved to approve the minutes earlier in the meeting and later moved approval of the consent agenda; Trustee Dudek seconded. The clerk conducted roll-call votes; trustees present voted aye and the board approved the consent agenda and concluded its regular business.
Afterward, Puccio moved that the board recess to executive session to discuss collective negotiation matters, the acquisition of real property, and the compensation or performance of a specific employee and candidates for employment. Trustee Militello moved the recess and Trustee Bauchner seconded; the roll call again recorded ayes and the board recessed.
The meeting packet and clerk's notes list additional consent items: multiple accounts-payable approvals (amounts listed by period), waiver-of-bid requests for vehicle parts and equipment (purchase amounts “not to exceed” specific totals), and approval to award multiple previously budgeted software applications (not to exceed $475,000). The board did not take public votes on individual consent items beyond the consolidated approval.
The board left the public portion of the meeting at the end of the session and did not announce further public actions before recessing to executive session.
