Board thanks public works, updates storm cleanup; flag donated to honor veteran
Summary
Trustees recognized public works and first responders for storm response, reported crews continue clearing debris from about 400 resident calls, and a trustee donated a coffin flag honoring his brother John to fly on the village pole.
Trustees and staff used the meeting’s staff‑comments portion to thank public works, fire and police for their storm response. A trustee said crews continue daily work to remove trees and debris after a recent storm and noted about 400 resident calls for service related to the event; staff said they would continue sending crews and communicating progress to the public.
Separately, Trustee Bill (identified in the record as speaker 9) said he donated the flag now flying on the village pole: "He was a citizen of Tinley Park, and I thought, well, it's a great way to honor him...so that's where that flag came from," referencing his brother John and a donated coffin flag. The board thanked staff and volunteers for their work and said they would continue cleanup operations.
