The Palos Heights City Council met Tuesday, Feb. 4, to tackle a range of city matters, including surplus vehicle sales, infrastructure projects, and energy agreements.
With Mayor Robert Straz absent due to eye surgery for a detached retina, Alderman Jack Clifford stepped in as acting mayor.
The council approved the sale of two surplus police vehicles: a 2019 Chevrolet Police Tahoe to the Crestwood Police Department for $12,500 and a 2015 Chevrolet Police Tahoe to the Sauk Village Police Department for $8,900.
Proceeds from both sales will go into the Drug Asset Forfeiture Account.
On the municipal property front, the council passed a resolution allowing participation in the energy aggregation process.
This gives the mayor authority to sign a contract with the lowest-cost electricity provider for up to 36 months.
They also approved $19,110 for a new waterfall pump and accessories at Lake Katherine and $5,645 for twinkle lights at Community Park.
Infrastructure improvements were a major focus, with several payments approved for ongoing sewer, water, and construction projects. Notable expenditures included $241,310.70 for the 2024 Sewer Rehabilitation Program, $47,775.50 for the Water Meter Replacement Program, and $468,198 for the 70th Avenue Lift Station Rehabilitation.
The council also signed off on engineering services for multiple projects, including the College Drive Watermain CIPP Looping Project, the Misty Meadows water tank, and various lift station rehabilitations.
In other business, the council granted Park Lawn permission to hold tag days at designated locations in April.
The next Palos Heights council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 18.
