Oak Forest Council Agenda Features $639K Lift Station Project, Irish Fest; Votes Still Unpublished
Oak Forest’s City Council weighed a $639,000 contract for sewer lift station work, a special event permit for Irish Fest, and several other items during its June 23 meeting, though official minutes and vote tallies had not been released as of July 5. The Economic Advisory Council also met to consider a small-business grant, and the Planning and Zoning Commission session was canceled.
City Council agenda: lift station, Irish Fest, farmers market
The June 23 council agenda included a resolution awarding a $639,000 contract to Steve Spiess for the Crescent Green Lift Station Improvements project. Also on the agenda were a janitorial services contract with Vega Building Maintenance, a license agreement with Boscos Marketplace LLC for a farmers market, and the selection of HR Green for Phase I and II engineering services on the Oak Park Avenue resurfacing between 147th and 159th Streets. A special event permit and temporary Class K liquor license for the Aug. 21–23 Irish Fest at Chicago Gaelic Park were up for a vote as well. No vote results or final actions were available because minutes have not been published.
Economic Advisory Council considers patio grant
Meeting on July 1, the Economic Advisory Council took up a Business Improvement Grant request of $10,875 from Tamir Enterprises Inc., which operates Clover’s Bar & Grill at 15548 S. Cicero Avenue. The funds would help cover a new patio, sidewalk, and bollards. The council’s recommendation to the full City Council had not been made public by press time.
