Alsip board adopts paid-sick-leave ordinance and revises snow-route parking rules
Summary
On Jan. 5 the Village of Alsip board approved Ordinance 2026-01-1 (amending Chapter 12 on paid sick leave/minimum wage) and Ordinance 2026-01-2 (amending Chapter 19 snow-route parking rules) by unanimous roll call; the snow-route change simplifies enforcement by requiring vehicles off public streets after 2 inches of snow.
The Village of Alsip board unanimously approved two ordinances during its Jan. 5 meeting: Ordinance 2026-01-1, which amends Chapter 12, Section 12-25 of the municipal code concerning paid sick leave and minimum wage provisions, and Ordinance 2026-01-2, which revises Chapter 19, Article 6, Section 19-91 on snow-route parking restrictions.
Ordinance 2026-01-1 was approved as part of the consent agenda. The ordinance amends local business regulations relating to paid sick leave and minimum wage; the village clerk presented the ordinance as a consent item and the board approved the consent agenda by roll call.
Trustee Love had removed item K (the snow-route ordinance) from the consent agenda for clarification. During discussion the board agreed to amend the language in several subsections to strike references to "designated snow route" and instead refer to parking on a "public street," and to set a single threshold of two inches of snow at which cars must be removed from streets until plows clear curb-to-curb. Trustees also clarified a minimum-fee figure discussed in committee before returning the item for a final vote.
After the on-the-record amendment, the board voted by roll call to adopt Ordinance 2026-01-2 as amended. The transcript records an affirmative roll call from the trustees present (Trustee Dzel, Trustee McLaren, Trustee Murphy, Trustee Prada, Trustee Cahill, Trustee Love); the mayor announced "Motion carries." No recorded no votes or abstentions were stated in the transcript.
Why it matters: The paid-sick-leave/minimum-wage ordinance changes local labor-related business rules; the snow-route amendment standardizes parking restrictions for winter operations and is intended to simplify enforcement and public understanding.
Vote at a glance: Ordinance 2026-01-1 (Chapter 12, Sec. 12-25; paid sick leave/minimum wage): approved via consent agenda (roll call recorded as all present voting yes). Ordinance 2026-01-2 (Chapter 19, Sec. 19-91; snow-route parking restrictions): approved after on-the-record amendment; roll call recorded as all present voting yes.
Next steps: The ordinances were adopted on Jan. 5 and will be entered into the municipal code; the village indicated it will prepare final copies for distribution to trustees and post the updated code.
