Orland Park board approves contracts and programs, adopts ban on recreational nitrous oxide
Summary
At its July 20 meeting the Orland Park Village Board approved multiple service contracts and programs — including a five-year Granicus agreement, GIS and water-contracts, an exclusive residential composting franchise, and an ordinance banning retail sale, possession and recreational use of nitrous oxide.
The Orland Park Village Board on July 20 approved a slate of contracts and directed staff on a voluntary annexation and homeowners association facility-transfer program, and adopted an ordinance prohibiting the retail sale, possession and recreational use of nitrous oxide.
The board approved a five-year global agreement with Granicus to replace the village’s existing services and add website development for a total not-to-exceed $499,077.97. Trustees voted aye on a roll call; the motion was moved and seconded.
Trustees also approved a contract with Guelph Hamilton Associates for geographic information systems support services not to exceed $622,600 for 2027–2029, and voted to award a water-main scanning contract to M.E. Simpson & Company, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $750,000 with an optional two-year extension at $300,000 per year.
On a separate item the board directed staff to draft land-development code amendments and administrative procedures to establish a homeowners association facility-transfer and voluntary annexation program. Staff said the program would use a special service area (SSA) method to fund upgrades and ongoing maintenance and would require broad HOA support before any transfer proceeds.
The board also approved a proposed exclusive residential curbside composting arrangement with Waste Not. The company will provide buckets or carts, fully electric collection vehicles and participation reporting. Trustees asked about contamination rules, billing, and the suggested one-year review of the agreement; the motion carried on roll call.
In ordinance business, trustees voted to prohibit retail sale, possession and recreational use of nitrous oxide, while carving out exemptions for licensed food-service establishments, medical and dental uses, and permitted commercial or scientific operations. Board members cited recent enforcement activity and a community family testimony as motivating the ordinance.
All motions and contracts listed above passed on roll call during the Committee of the Whole meeting.
What happens next: staff will finalize contracts and return necessary ordinance or code language (where required) for implementation. The board recessed to convene an advertised hearing and planned to return to complete business afterward.
