Lindenhurst board approves $604,658.93 in bills, adopts police surplus ordinance and IDOT resolution
Summary
At its Feb. 8 meeting the Lindenhurst Village Board approved minutes and $604,658.93 in bills, adopted Ordinance 21-2-2186 to dispose of police surplus property, passed Resolution 21-2-2187R to conform with IDOT right-of-way rules, amended fiscal policies and discussed the draft 2021 CIP.
The Lindenhurst Village Board on Feb. 8 approved routine meeting business including minutes and a first set of February bills totaling $604,658.93, adopted an ordinance to dispose of unused police equipment and passed a resolution pledging conformance with Illinois Department of Transportation right-of-way conditions.
Trustee Pat Dunham read the treasurer’s report and stated, “The total for all accounts on January 31, 2021 was $8,887,251.78.” Trustees voted 6–0 to accept the report. The board also approved the minutes of the Jan. 25 meeting and the bills presented for payment; both measures passed on unanimous roll-call votes.
The board adopted Ordinance 21-2-2186 after a motion from Trustee Dawn Suchy and second from Trustee Patty Chybowski. The ordinance authorizes the Police Department to destroy items without residual value and send items with remaining value to auction. The board also approved Resolution 21-2-2187R, which pledges municipal conformance with Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) policies for work conducted within state rights-of-way; the resolution is intended to expedite permitting and allow municipal employees to work in the right-of-way in lieu of posting a surety bond while noting that contractors must still bond to the State.
Trustees approved amendments to the Fiscal Year 2021–2022 draft fiscal policies to align depreciable service lives for heavy trucks and equipment, buildings and water/sewer lines with auditing standards; Trustee Pat Dunham moved the measure and Trustee Dawn Czarny seconded it. Village Administrator Clay Johnson presented the draft 2021 Capital Improvement Plan and the board provided comments for the Finance Committee; the CIP will be presented and voted on with the operational budget in April.
Other business included recognition from SWALCO for Lindenhurst’s reuse and textile recycling efforts and praise for Public Works’ winter operations. The meeting adjourned at 8:04 p.m.
