Robbins board says $5.1M infrastructure grant is ready; residents told who to contact for water issues
Summary
Trustee reports say a $5.1 million infrastructure grant is ready for submission; the board also named water supervisor Emani and the village administrator as contacts for water-bill complaints and urged residents to avoid posting complaints on social media.
Trustee Gregory N. Jackson told the board at the Feb. 11 meeting that a $5.1 million infrastructure grant is ready for submission.
During standing committee reports Trustee Jackson also reiterated concerns about fly dumping and said more lighting and citizen participation are needed to address the problem. Deputy Chief Russell discussed police training requirements and possible reallocation of departmental funds to cover training costs.
Trustee Michael Collier and Mayor Darren E. Bryant relayed a public-works request — originally made by Mr. Cooper — asking residents to park on one side of narrow streets during storms so plows can clear roads more efficiently. The meeting minutes list Emani as the water supervisor and provide a contact phone number (708-270-8180) and the Village Administrator's number (708-470-9890) for residents who have billing or customer-service complaints about water.
The minutes also contain announcements on utility assistance programs: CEDA utility assistance (800-571-2332) and township contacts for senior services (Bremen Township: 708-333-9530; Worth Township: 708-371-2900). The clerk's announcements include a reminder that village stickers are on sale through Feb. 28 to avoid penalties.
No grant application details, proposed projects, or timelines were recorded in the minutes beyond Trustee Jackson's statement that the $5.1 million grant was ready for submission. The minutes do not specify the grant source, project scope, or the dollar amount the village expects to receive if awarded.
The board adjourned at 8:09 p.m.
