10.19.2026 - Village of Orland Park - Committee of the Whole

The Village of Orland Park Committee of the Whole met on October 19, 2026. The committee unanimously approved recommendations to the Village Board for two commuter-parking procurements. The first covers nine replacement parking terminals, installation, service and maintenance, and Flowbird web-office monitoring through sole-source vendor Total Parking Solutions LLC; the transcript gives no contract amount. The second approves a sole-source contract with Passport Labs for parking-management software upgrades, payment services, and mobile license-plate-recognition equipment, not to exceed $148,634.87, plus applicable transaction and permit-processing fees. Staff cited the existing vendor relationship and limited local provider availability for the sole-source rationale; the current terminals are at end of life, and the village plans to move from pay-by-space to pay-by-plate. Both motions passed unanimously as recommendations to the Village Board.

The committee also reviewed a land-use moratorium study and proposed amendments affecting business-use definitions, parking requirements, special-use permits, and licensing, including proposed caps for coffee shops and jewelry stores. No land-use changes were adopted at this meeting; staff plans further review and public communication before bringing proposals back. The committee authorized staff to advance planning for a one-year community beekeeping pilot at Stellwagen Farm and return with findings and final program details. The meeting also included community recognitions and an introduction to the police department’s trained bloodhound, Joey; no related procurement amounts were stated.
