Oak Brook Park District approves asphalt contract, adopts financial and personnel policy updates
Summary
At the July 15 meeting the board accepted a $65,809.82 asphalt replacement contract, approved a bereavement-leave revision to the Personnel Policy Manual, adopted a Debt Management Policy, and passed the consent agenda.
The Oak Brook Park District Board of Commissioners on July 15 approved several measures including a contract award for asphalt replacement, a personnel policy revision, adoption of a debt management policy, and routine consent items.
On a roll call vote the board accepted a bid from Evans and Son Blacktop, Inc., to perform the district’s asphalt replacement work for a total not-to-exceed $65,809.82. Deputy Director Bob Johnson said some contractor bids include variable costs; the district has worked with Evans and Son previously and will negotiate variable cost items before work proceeds. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Suleiman moved and Commissioner Ivkovic Kelley seconded approval of a revision to Section 3.10 (Time-Off Benefits — Bereavement Leave) of the Personnel Policy Manual; the motion passed by roll call vote with all members voting aye. The board also approved Resolution No. 24-0715, adopting a Debt Management Policy, after a motion from Commissioner Suleiman and a second from Ivkovic Kelley.
The meeting opened with routine procedural items: the board approved the July 15 agenda, the June 17 minutes, and the financial statement ending June 30, 2024 (Warrant 686) by a single omnibus vote.
