South Chicago Heights approves security system upgrade for public safety building
Summary
Trustees approved Resolution 2026‑R‑12 authorizing LaForce, Inc. to install updated security equipment and key‑fob system at municipal facilities; Police Chief Clint Wagner said the current system had not been maintained in over 10 years and one-third of the cost will come from the fire department budget.
The South Chicago Heights Board of Trustees voted 6–0 April 6 to approve Resolution 2026‑R‑12, authorizing LaForce, Inc. to provide security equipment and related services.
Police Chief Clint Wagner told trustees the station’s key‑fob system has not received maintenance since its installation more than a decade ago and that the proposed updates are intended to resolve ongoing trouble until the department can budget for a full replacement. Chief Wagner said one-third of the project cost will be covered by the fire department budget.
Trustees moved and approved the resolution without recorded dissent. The minutes do not list a contract amount or schedule; the approval authorizes purchase and installation to proceed through the vendor proposal presented at the meeting.
