The Berwyn City Council approved its consent agenda and a package of motions that included personnel appointments, a vehicle procurement and major infrastructure contract awards at the May meeting.

Mayor Robert J. Vero and council members concurred with several mayoral and chief recommendations: the council approved the appointments and swearing‑ins of Brian Madden as deputy chief of operations and Robert Pilch as deputy chief of administration for the Berwyn Fire Department, both effective June 2, 2026. The council also accepted communications regarding promotions and swearing‑ins for other fire department personnel.

On procurement, Fire Chief Mahalik recommended waiving sealed bidding and approving purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado from Curry Motors for $47,812; council approved the purchase by roll call.
