# Des Plaines City Council Meeting 10-5-2026

The Des Plaines City Council meeting on October 5, 2026, approved its consent agenda, including warrant register R-214-26; the transcript does not clearly capture the warrant’s dollar amount. No contract awards or competitive procurements were identified. The Council also approved a major variation for a proposed front porch at 787 South Fifth Avenue and scheduled a Building Code Committee meeting to consider proposed amendments to city construction regulations and referenced building, electrical, and energy codes; those amendments were not acted on at this meeting.

The Council approved Resolution R-215-26 supporting M&M Equipment Corporation’s application for a Cook County Class 6B property-tax incentive for 455 East Jarvis Avenue. The company plans approximately $600,000 in improvements to the currently vacant property and expects to relocate 18 existing employees from Skokie and add seven more within two years. City staff projected about $2.1 million in property-tax revenue over the 12-year period—roughly $500,000 more than if the property remained without investment—and approximately $2.5 million in tax savings for the property owner compared with redevelopment without the incentive. The incentive is intended to support private investment and return the property to productive use; it is not a city contract or purchase. Officials also noted an upcoming budget meeting, but no budget allocations were considered in the transcript.
