April 6, 2026 City of West Chicago Infrastructure Committee

The City of West Chicago Infrastructure Committee held a meeting on April 6, 2026, where they approved minutes from the previous meeting and passed contract awards including a supply contract with Energy Services LLC for electricity from June 2026 to May 2029, and a $56,622 contract with Canton Farms Inc. for the 2026 spring parkway tree planting program. Staff reported ongoing major construction projects, including pre-construction activities and upcoming work on Town Road involving resurfacing and drainage improvements. However, some work is delayed due to a pending FEMA stormwater permit held up by federal funding issues. The committee discussed strategies to proceed with as much work as possible despite these delays. Additionally, the city was recognized again as a Tree City USA, with a proclamation planned for the April 20 city council meeting. No new business or public participation was noted, and the meeting was adjourned after all items were addressed.
