At its Nov. 14 meeting the Robbins Board of Trustees approved Resolution 11-14-23 (CDBG Project 2304-026), contracts including HERA Property Registry and a $12,000 roofing quote, and enacted ordinances on vacant property and mobile food trucks; several items were deferred for later consideration.
The Village of Robbins Board of Trustees voted Nov. 14 to approve a series of measures including Resolution 11-14-23 for the 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Project 2304-026, an agreement with HERA Property Registry, LLC, and ordinances amending appropriations and governing vacant properties and mobile food trucks. Trustee David R. Dyson moved the CDBG resolution; Trustees Ernest Maxey Jr., Thomas Harper Jr., Gregory N. Jackson and Michael Collier Sr. voted yes; Trustee Tiffany S. Robinson was recorded as absent for that vote.
The board also approved an agreement with HERA Property Registry, LLC; an amendment to the appropriations ordinance (Ordinance 11-14-23); Ordinance 11-14-23 A, a Vacant Property Ordinance; and Ordinance 11-14-23 B, a Mobile Food Truck Ordinance.

On other business, trustees approved a request for qualifications (RFQ) for MJZ Home Design and accepted a roofing quote from SVJ Enterprise for $12,000 to repair 13730 Claire Blvd. The trustees deferred the Business Development Plan to the next meeting after a motion to approve was withdrawn and subsequently tabled, and they deferred the Scotland Development item back to committee.
