Addison board approves routine payments, mosquito control contract and sewer change order; 32 lead service lines replaced during work

The Village of Addison held combined committee sessions and a Village Board meeting on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, approving a series of routine administrative measures and several vendor contracts.

During committee review, members approved minutes from the Jan. 5 meeting and moved forward a set of accounts-payable directives. The committee and later the board approved a payment to the intergovernmental risk management agency for the village’s 2026 annual insurance premium in the amount of $1,202,148. A presenter said the 2026 premium represents a $32,749 decrease from the 2025 premium.

Staff presented an ordinance to reserve Addison’s 2026 private activity bond volume cap. Collin, a staff member, told the committee the state’s per-capita calculation uses a village population of 35,728 and generates $4,823,280 in available volume cap; the village must notify the state by May 1 whether it will reserve or return the allocation. The ordinance was recommended by committee for first reading before the full board.

The board adopted by roll call a resolution contracting Clark Environmental Mosquito Management Inc. to provide the 2026 mosquito-management program for $83,900. Public works staff described the program as including treatment of approximately 4,000 storm-water catch basins, periodic neighborhood spraying, lawn treatments for special events and continuous monitoring; Clark will perform EPA reporting and use EPA-approved chemicals.

The board also approved two dispatch-related expenditures and waivers of the formal bid process. One resolution authorized AB LLC to remove, relocate and reinstall radio equipment at the Hodgkin’s Water Tower and in the Pleasant View Fire District for $47,737.14. Another resolution authorized purchase of a communications microwave connection from the Hodgkin’s Water Tower to the Pleasant View Fire District for $39,982.40; staff noted an error in a committee memo and said the cost should be charged to the ACDC fund (account 115304304) rather than the ACC building fund.

Council members approved Change Order No. 3 with Boulder Contractors of Cary, Illinois, for $183,161.22 on the combined sewer separation and detention basin project (Bid No. 24-12-1). According to staff, the change order covers replacement of several existing brick sanitary structures with precast concrete, adjustments to storm-sewer structures to resolve conflicts with existing utilities, repairs to water mains (including a break on Michigan Avenue), and the immediate replacement of an additional 32 lead water service lines discovered during excavation on Michigan, Harvard, Yale and Wisconsin Avenues. The change order also included a $400 credit adjustment to a previous change order.

On land-use matters, the Building, Zoning & Development committee recommended (and the board read for first reading) an ordinance approving a plat of easement for 840 East Red Oak Street. Staff said the property owner constructed a new single-family residence and the village is requesting dedication of a 10-foot rear and 5-foot side yard easement to accommodate public utilities and drainage.

The Village Board meeting opened with roll call, the Pledge of Allegiance and an invocation offered by Pastor Bob Petrick of Side Baptist Church. The board approved the consent agenda by roll call (unanimous Yes votes from present trustees) and later adopted the Clark Environmental, AB LLC and microwave-connection resolutions. Village officers reported no substantive updates; the village clerk provided community announcements about a blood drive on Jan. 24 and a school open house on Jan. 25. The board adjourned following the scheduled business.
