Mayor Darren E. Bryant used the meeting to announce a change in Saturday's planned walk: it will instead be a public safety forum to be held in the courtroom with Deputy Chief Antwon Russell. "The goal is to have cameras on every block," the mayor said. The forum and other public safety steps were discussed during trustee reports and the mayor's remarks.
The meeting included routine community announcements about departmental locations and services; water payments and permits will be handled at the police department's first floor during business hours, and other departments will operate from the community center at 13800 Trumbull Ave. VA Korie Dickson introduced herself, provided contact details (708-470-9890; kdickson@robbins-il.com) and said she will supply requested hiring and reporting information.
The board's approvals were recorded as unanimous among the trustees present at each vote; where specified, Trustee Ernest Maxey Jr. was absent. The meeting transcript lists motions, seconds and roll-call tallies for each action.
