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.

Trustees agree to put electrical aggregation referendum on Nov. 6 ballot that could save residents between $200 to $400 annually on electricity bills but hiring a broker to negotiate a lower rate with electrical suppliers is still up for debate.
