Summary

Public Works Director Mark Trlak told council he will coordinate with IDOT to install a catch basin to address backyard flooding, investigate a frequently damaged light pole on 90th Place, and reported splash pad repairs are nearly complete and crews are performing routine maintenance and pothole patching.

Director of Public Works Mark Trlak updated the Council on several infrastructure items. He said he has contacted the Illinois Department of Transportation about installing a catch basin to resolve a resident's backyard flooding issue and will meet with IDOT to find a solution for a light pole on 90th Place that has been repeatedly knocked down. Trlak reported the splash pad is about ready for the season after recent repairs and that crews are cutting grass, fertilizing and rotating large-truck maintenance.

Trlak also reported ongoing pothole patching and that Public Works will repair a fire hydrant at 87th & Duffy on Monday. The updates indicate routine seasonal maintenance and localized capital work coordinated with state agencies for drainage and pole repairs; no funding requests or project timelines beyond the next-day hydrant repair were recorded in the minutes.
