Tinley Park Committee of the Whole approves contracts, liquor licenses and traffic-signal IGA
Summary
The Tinley Park Committee of the Whole unanimously approved minutes and a series of routine contracts and agreements, including a Harlem Avenue water-main extension contract, multiple engineering service agreements, a taxi/retail liquor license for Lenny’s Gas and Wash, creation of a new liquor-license class (HS), and an IGA for traffic-signal maintenance at 191st Street and County Highway 84.
Trustee President Glass called the Committee of the Whole to order and asked the deputy clerk to call the roll, after which trustees approved a slate of routine motions.
The committee moved quickly through business, first approving the minutes of the May 19, 2026 Committee of the Whole meeting after a motion, second and unanimous roll-call vote. The meeting then advanced through a sequence of contracts and agreements that were each moved, seconded and approved by unanimous roll call.
Among the items approved were a license agreement for tenant space at Harmony Square with New Bremen Trading Post LLC; a contract with M and J Underground for a water-main extension along Harlem Avenue; and professional-service agreements with Christopher Burke Engineering and Robinson Engineering. The committee also approved a contract for public- and private-sector consulting services with Alvarez and Associates and an agreement transcribed in the record as “Cornerstone Agreement Affairs” for legislative consulting services.
The panel approved a Class UV2 liquor license for Lenny’s Gas and Wash at 191st Street and Harlem Avenue, and voted to create a new liquor-license class identified in the record as HS; trustees expressed brief positive remarks about the classification during the discussion. Trustees also approved an intergovernmental agreement for maintenance and energy of traffic signals at the intersection of 191st Street and County Highway 84 and at the western entrance to Brookside Creek.
All recorded motions were passed by unanimous roll call. The deputy clerk recorded the following trustees as voting in favor on each roll call: Trustee Brady, Trustee Brennan, Trustee Mahoney and Trustee Mike Mueller. The minutes and all agenda motions carry the notation that the motions were moved and seconded; the transcript does not specify which trustee made each motion or which trustee offered the second.
After the clerk recorded that there were no public comments, a motion to adjourn carried unanimously and the committee adjourned; the board meeting was scheduled to begin immediately afterward.
The record contains the meeting items and roll-call results but does not identify individual movers and seconders by name for the listed motions. In one exchange, Trustee President Glass said at opening, "We'd like to call the regular scheduled committee of the whole meeting together," and later noted of one item, "Let the record reflect there are none, with some nice music."
