Out-of-Town Contracts, Hospital Expansion, Alley Repaving Land on Village Board Agenda

Oak Lawn trustees will plow through a resolution-packed, A-H consent agenda at Nov. 13 village board meeting.

It’s a value-meal agenda for the Oak Lawn Village Board, which convenes at 7:30 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) at Ye Olde Village Hall, just in case you’re DVRing it on Ch. 4.

Oak Lawn trustees will vote on an A-H consent agenda, plus a cornucopia of resolutions and proclamations.

The meeting could last a half-hour or four—village board members will most likely be picking up discussion of a resolution approving the paving of an additional alley pursuant to the 2012 alley-paving program, so all bets are off.
