Chicago Ridge trustees approve consent agenda, authorize ambulance payment and equipment purchase
Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Village of Chicago Ridge Board approved a consent agenda that included business licenses, an ordinance amendment to regulate data centers and payment for a previously authorized ambulance purchase of $396,557; trustees also approved a LUCAS CPR device purchase funded by a state grant.
The Village of Chicago Ridge Board on June 2 approved a broad consent agenda that authorized multiple payments and routine items, including a $396,557 ambulance purchase and the purchase of a LUCAS CPR device for $25,002.92 covered by a State Fire Marshal Small Equipment Grant (no cost to taxpayers).
The action came after President Lind called the meeting to order and the Clerk conducted roll call. Trustees Kowalski, Lenz, McFarland, Meslar and Siegel voted to expend the listed fund totals and to pay the bills presented. The consent agenda — which Board members agreed to establish and adopt during the meeting — bundled minutes, pending project reports, business licenses and several procurement approvals.
The consent package listed several business licenses for approval pending inspections: Penny Lane Schools at 10255 Ridgeland Ave; So Others Live Training & Consulting Group dba L4 Investigation at 7000 Southwest Hwy; and Velora Coffee Company at 10515 S. Ridgeland. The agenda also included an ordinance amendment described as "An Ordinance Amending the Zoning Code of the Village of Chicago Ridge to Regulated Data Centers in the Village of Chicago Ridge," which was placed on the consent docket for approval.
Trustee Meslar moved to adopt the Consent Agenda and Trustee Kowalski seconded; the roll call vote was recorded as AYE: Trustees Kowalski, Lenz, McFarland, Meslar, Siegel; NAY: None. Separately, the Board approved payment authorizations showing fund totals of $213,372.88, $114,778.84 and $257,993.14 as part of routine disbursements.
A separate motion to approve the Chicago Ridge LIONS Club Split the Pot Raffle License passed after a separate vote: Trustees Kowalski, Lenz, McFarland and Meslar voted AYE; Trustee Siegel abstained. The motion carried.
No ordinances or licenses were called out for separate debate in open session; business licenses were approved "pending all applicable inspections," as recorded in the minutes. The Board did not take further public action on the zoning amendment at the meeting beyond placing it on the consent agenda. The meeting adjourned following routine announcements.
