Orland Park board approves infrastructure projects, selects squad-vehicle design and updates Village Hall hours
Summary
The board approved shoreline, sewer and manhole work, bought new public works equipment, chose option three for squad vehicles at no added taxpayer cost, approved a fueling agreement with the township, and set Village Hall hours to 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday.
At its briefing, the Orland Park Village Board approved multiple infrastructure projects and equipment purchases intended to maintain village services, Trustee Joanna Leotini Leafblad said. Projects include shoreline restoration, sanitary sewer and manhole rehabilitation, plus acquisition of new public works equipment for roadway maintenance and winter operations.
The board reviewed three police squad-vehicle design options that retain the village red, white and blue color scheme and, Leafblad said, would not cost taxpayers extra; the board chose "option three," which she called "the overwhelming favorite among our officers." The briefing did not supply a formal vote count or procurement timeline.
Leafblad also announced an intergovernmental agreement permitting the Orland Township Highway Department to use the village public works facility to fuel vehicles; she noted similar arrangements already exist with the Orland Fire Protection District and the library. Separately, the board approved an adjustment to Village Hall business hours to Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., while secure dropboxes and online bill pay remain available 24/7.
The briefing presented these items as approved actions but did not provide motion language, mover/second names, or specific financial figures for the projects and equipment acquisitions.
