The Crest Hill City Council on Feb. 17 approved a 15-item consent package covering construction contracts, engineering agreements, equipment purchases and routine payroll and bills.
The council approved a $2,203,482.72 construction contract with PT Farrell Construction Company for Division Roadway reconstruction. It also approved a $26,335 construction testing agreement with Rubino Engineering Inc. and a $1,129,850 construction engineering agreement with Strand and Associates for east and west receiving-station improvements. The council approved a $48,500 professional-engineering agreement for a citywide multi-use path study (phase 1) with Burke Engineering and adopted a city hall community room usage policy.
Wastewater-related purchases on the consent agenda included approval to buy a RAS pump for the East Wastewater Treatment Plant from Metropolitan Industries Inc. for $56,179 and a motor for the oxidation ditch from Comline Sanderson for $25,000. The council approved pay request No. 37 from Visserink Construction Inc. in the amount of $231,832.60 and authorized forwarding that request and change order No. 10 to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for approval and disbursement; the change order increases the contract total to $49,695,708.
The council also approved regular and overtime payroll for Jan. 26–Feb. 8, 2026, totaling $279,365.48 and a list of bills issued through Feb. 28, 2026, totaling $2,549,589.66. City clerk Chris assigned resolution numbers for several consent items (resolutions 1383–1389) as part of recordkeeping.
Procedural notes: Alderman Albert moved to approve the consent package and the motion was seconded. The initial consent vote carried on roll call. Consent item 6a (minutes from the Jan. 26, 2026 work session) was pulled for further discussion at Alderman Dyke’s request; the corrected minutes were approved later in the meeting on a subsequent roll call in which Scott Dyke voted no and the motion carried.
