At a special meeting Feb. 15, 2022, the Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve an omnibus package of financial and infrastructure measures affecting several neighborhood projects.
The omnibus motion, moved by Trustee A. Sanchez and seconded by Trustee M. Lightford, covered six items: approval of the monthly financial report for February 2022; a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) subrecipient agreement with Cook County for 21st Avenue improvements (Program Year 2021); an agreement with Edwin Hancock Engineering Company to provide design and construction engineering services for the 2022 Green Infrastructure Alley Improvements Project (to be funded with MWRDGC funds and General Funds); a CDBG application for the 2022 program year covering 19th Avenue, Huron Street and 6th Avenue roadway improvements; an ordinance authorizing amendments to the FY2021/22 Village budget (Amendment No. 1); and a motion to reschedule the March 15, 2022 special Village Board meeting to March 22, 2022 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers.
The board recorded a unanimous vote in favor. The motion carried with Ayes from Mayor Nathaniel George Booker and Trustees A. Sanchez, S. Reyes-Plummer, M. Jones, M. Lightford, A. Peppers and I. Brandon; no Nays or abstentions were recorded.
Why it matters: the package advances several capital and planning steps for street, alley and drainage improvements and updates the FY2021/22 budget to reflect those priorities and related funding. The agreement with Edwin Hancock Engineering sets up preliminary and construction engineering work for alley green infrastructure, while the CDBG items position the village to access federal block grant funds administered through Cook County.
What’s next: projects funded through the CDBG applications and the engineering agreement will proceed to design and construction phases as funding and procurement steps allow. The board did not record further discussion on implementation timelines during this meeting.
