Bensenville approves 2026 senior/disabled grass-cutting program and contracts with five vendors
Summary
The village adopted guidelines for the 2026 Senior/Disabled Grass Cutting Program, approved contracts with five vendors to serve 100 seniors at a 50% village subsidy (a $15 per-cut subsidy; residents pay $15 per cut), and authorized staff to send renewal notices to returning customers.
The Village of Bensenville on March 31 adopted the guidelines and procedures for its 2026 Senior/Disabled Grass Cutting Program and approved contracts with five vendors to perform the work.
Sean, a village staff member who described the program during the meeting, said the program serves 100 seniors and the village subsidizes 50% of each cut: "We subsidize 50% of the program, so the village takes on a $15 per cut fee and then the resident pays a $15 per cut fee." He said the program is entering its ninth year and letters would be sent to returning customers. Trustees voted to approve the program guidelines and then approved separate resolutions authorizing contracts with LAR Lawn and Ground Corporation, Panoramic Landscaping, Tomas Herrera Landscaping, Verde Breeze Landscaping and Wellfin Zakeras Landscaping.
The board moved, seconded and approved each contract by roll call. The meeting record does not list individual contract amounts in the transcript for each vendor; trustees discussed the program’s capacity (100 slots) and the administrative process rather than per-contractor pricing. The program will operate under the adopted guidelines and staff will proceed with notifications and contract execution.
