Lindenhurst board approves wastewater facility roof repairs and authorizes 5-ton truck purchase
Summary
The Village of Lindenhurst board approved a Waukegan Roofing agreement for wastewater facility roof repairs not to exceed $79,695 and authorized ordering a 5-ton dump truck up to $222,728 to address long lead times; the board also approved routine financial items and bills totaling $1,092,067.20.
The Village of Lindenhurst board on Feb. 10 approved a service agreement for wastewater facility roof repairs and authorized purchase of a replacement 5-ton dump truck, actions officials said were intended to lock in costs and keep village infrastructure on schedule.
Trustee Dawn Suchy told the board the Treasurer’s Report showed total village funds of $16,993,908.26 as of Jan. 31, 2025. The board approved the Treasurer’s Report and the minutes from the Jan. 27 meeting by voice and roll-call votes.
Public Works staff presented bids to replace or repair roofs at accessory buildings at the wastewater treatment facility off Grass Lake Road. A Waukegan Roofing quote of $51,850 was substantially lower than the $120,000 sum budgeted for FY2025. Because of the savings, staff asked the board to add additional buildings at the end of their useful life (including the High Point Drive well house) to the project and to authorize a 10% contingency for unanticipated repairs.
Trustee Dawn Suchy moved and Trustee Ron Grace seconded a motion to waive bidding and authorize the Village Administrator to enter into a service agreement with Waukegan Roofing in an amount not to exceed $79,695. The roll call vote was recorded as Aye — Trustees Patty Chybowski, Dawn Suchy, Heath Rosten and Ron Grace; Nay — 0. The motion carried.
Public Works also sought authorization to order a 5-ton dump truck now because production lead times can be as long as 18 months and current pricing came in under forecast. Trustee Patty Chybowski moved and Trustee Dawn Suchy seconded to authorize ordering a 5-ton dump truck in an amount not to exceed $222,728; the roll call vote was Aye — Chybowski, Suchy, Rosten and Grace; Nay — 0. Officials said depending on the delivery date the cost will be included in either the FY2026 or FY2027 budget.
The board also approved the first set of bills for February — invoices due on or before Feb. 10 — totaling $1,092,067.20. Each of these routine financial items passed by the recorded votes noted in the minutes.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:07 p.m.
