Maywood trustees approve omnibus package including sewer-cleaning contract, zoning map update and IHDA grant matters

The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted unanimously March 22 to approve an omnibus package of agenda items that included a sewer-televising and cleaning contract, adoption of the village’s Official Zoning Map and several intergovernmental and administrative resolutions.

The omnibus motion was offered by Trustee M. Jones and seconded by Trustee S. Reyes-Plummer and carried on a roll-call vote with Mayor Nathaniel George Booker and all seven trustees recorded as voting aye. The motion bundled Items A through I on the meeting agenda.

The package included: approval of the monthly financial report for March 2022 showing $2,282,079.11 in the report and an open-invoices listing of $16,692.84; an ordinance authorizing expenditures from the General Fund and the Madison Street/5th Avenue TIF fund to pay for televising and cleaning of certain combined sewers for the 2022 Capital Improvements Project and an award of contract to low bidder Sewertech, LLC; an ordinance incorporating the updated Official Zoning Map into Section 151.02 of the Maywood Village Code; a resolution authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with Cook County for environmental health inspection services (term December 1, 2021–November 30, 2022); a resolution appointing Village Manager Chasity Wells-Armstrong as budget officer; a memorandum of understanding with the Regional Transportation Authority for transit-oriented development zoning code updates; acceptance of a grant from the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s Strong Communities Program; and execution of IHDA’s termination agreement for the Abandoned Residential Property Municipality Relief Program.

Lanya Satchell, the village’s director of finance, presented the monthly financial materials during the meeting. The ordinance awarding the sewer contract references the 2022 Capital Improvements Project; the agenda packet names Sewertech, LLC as the low bidder for the televising and cleaning work. The omnibus motion did not generate substantive debate during the meeting; trustees approved all items without recorded dissent.

The board also approved an invitation to join Visit Oak Park as a partner community for fiscal year 2023 (no-cost item) and several administrative housekeeping matters included in the omnibus motion.

Next steps: the ordinances and resolutions approved by the omnibus motion proceed to implementation by the village departments named in the agenda materials, including execution of contracts and intergovernmental agreements as authorized by the motions.
