She said respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has risen particularly among youth aged roughly 12 months to 17 years, and that norovirus is also on the rise. Clark urged residents to practice hand hygiene and avoid sharing food or drink and recommended that children and adults get pneumonia vaccinations where appropriate, especially those with chronic conditions such as asthma or COPD.

Clark also warned of severe cold: windchill values were expected to reach about minus 9 to minus 10 degrees. She noted Cook County opening warming centers and provided the county web contact recorded in the meeting (cookgov.me/staywarm) for assistance referrals.

The police chief provided department activity since the Dec. 10 meeting: 3,152 traffic stops, 29 arrests, 10 guns recovered, 830 building checks, approximately 309 domestic incidents, 303 ordinance violations and a total of 2,143 calls for service. The chief said the department expanded its staffing \"by 36%,\" reduced the violent‑crime index by 22.5%, reduced the property‑crime index by 18% and increased traffic enforcement by 44.6%.

\"It is an honor. You have made it easy, to be the police in this town,\" the chief said, thanking the board for support.

Fire Chief Austin reported 184 calls for service in the same period, including 133 ambulance calls, six accidents with injuries, two accidents without injuries, one vehicle fire, 12 smoke‑ or fire‑alarm malfunctions and other service calls. Chief Austin said the department is \"fully staffed\" and operating two ambulances.

During questioning, Chief Austin said prior to the current administration the village contracted ambulance service to a private provider for roughly 40 to 45 years; he said the two ambulances approved under the current administration are now in service and \"revenue generating.\" Trustee questions on exact prior contract years were described as approximate in the meeting.

The board received the department statistics as informational; no personnel or budget actions were taken at the meeting.","Police presented activity statistics showing reductions in violent and property crime and higher traffic enforcement; the fire department reported 184 calls and two ambulances now in service after the village ended a long contract arrangement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6376330,"Trustee says mayor spearheaded several new Lynwood businesses; openings expected this month",127,129000,256000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2140431-202d7c8e264f2cde3036a95722f264af&start=129&end=256","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2140431-202d7c8e264f2cde3036a95722f264af/thumbnail_129000.jpg","/articles/6376330/Lynwood/Cook-County/Illinois/Trustee-says-mayor-spearheaded-several-new-Lynwood-businesses-openings-expected-this-month","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6376330-c8a38af3487e2754c6ac097c54a83416/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203116&Signature=aoE-UKr6fvzq6oefGskbH9i3USVzBFIK7~NA12yjJhX0ghtA6mWgylzKHHMcm8-IPlfIBwgrZ5FrDiBeYHgbFA5T~N1Q-TEtHrM0aizUXhxe1PMC9MI8rNphgtWGviI-7DTkhbvM9v5wIy82SmTgx2Y7ijg6Z9G-jgzeV2gkEf0Ap-kA1OLHkTCkTCUdDvN7DCm1Y~9D94CXM12uFpugcc1lZRZEaiQSHqbL0RcLY1XmB5UoGeu7nBn9CQBPuE1QyMV7IsUWMw4fr3phoc~O1GA0E8ca88X2RWW7Fza4Twwmeqz5eSoGLvgFH9~M8UO6EKQkezrssSOkvFZ9pW9k9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trustee Blakey on Jan. 14 updated the board on local economic‑development activity and credited Mayor Curry with leading negotiations for multiple new and returning businesses expected to open in Lynwood in coming weeks.

Blakey said BAM is under construction and \"probably by the end of January they will be up and, functioning.\" He named several other projects mentioned in the discussion: Popin' Plates (taking over the Warsaw Inn site), Dollar General, an equestrian university, a car wash, a Fresh Market and a Dunkin' Donuts location.

Blakey told trustees, \"Mayor Curry... has spearheaded all of the economic development that we have seen in this village over the last, 4 years.\" He asked the board and residents to recognize the mayor's active role in negotiating the contracts and deals tied to those projects.

The trustee said the Popin' Plates project is a reuse of the Warsaw Inn site after the previous owner retired and put the business up for sale. Blakey characterized the projects as adding value to the village through \"creative opportunities\" at the affected locations.

No formal votes were required for the report. Trustees later moved on to committee and administrative business.","Trustee Blakey listed multiple forthcoming businesses and credited Mayor Curry with negotiating deals; trustees discussed upcoming openings and community benefits.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6376335,"Lynwood trustees approve mobile-food ordinance, solar permit, settlement authorization and three payment memos",374,339000,713000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2140431-202d7c8e264f2cde3036a95722f264af&start=339&end=713","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2140431-202d7c8e264f2cde3036a95722f264af/thumbnail_339000.jpg","/articles/6376335/Lynwood/Cook-County/Illinois/Lynwood-trustees-approve-mobile-food-ordinance-solar-permit-settlement-authorization-and-three-payment-memos","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6376335-c7e4ad7eb132ac64aa90466d65a52dfc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771203116&Signature=I9QbeNyhITAnTGZ9NHY1Swc9mJ8bKDofu~CPDanTYIj0PO0x-fyghOkBfO6VcGJD027qa5SgBrgpl9rM8Tc2lSNEgv9NI5TTHi0DhRtgzRYv6ZXdX7wd6e13cfwTO2VuIoJoUNOizTmG5nRGjLtI072UjLRsQIWciWQ3-LUwVncclVbdOFCOVeR0u~ypcD~kqrTEU1TwJYMtZZawqnzJxv634z5L1xLcUElp8Ew-F6SVVUgDvKgYnbvw8POl5QPiYQCOWgcVnydHVSDxD2sBIN7sKPYIYaAlxjImTKBK0rwSaoLJ1uKa-Chvx64Hr24EFk6a4tjQSy74LxHS37PlhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Lynwood Board of Trustees on Jan. 14 approved an ordinance creating a licensing chapter for mobile food vendors, granted a special‑use permit to a proposed solar farm, authorized the village president to execute a settlement agreement in a pending federal Section 1983 case and approved three bill‑payment memos covering payroll and other expenditures.

The board voted unanimously on each item. Trustee Christie Lilly moved the ordinance (Ordinance No. 24‑25) to add Chapter 22, Article 7 on mobile food vendors; Trustee Dunlap seconded and all trustees voted “yes.” Attorney Boyle told trustees the measure had its first reading at the December meeting and the new chapter “streamlines the process” for mobile vendors, separating it from the general business license code.

Trustees also adopted Resolution No. 24‑26, granting a special‑use permit to Flower Moon LLC for a solar energy project. The permit came to the board with a recommendation from the Zoning Appeals Board; Attorney Boyle described it as a “special use permit application from Flower Moon LLC” for a solar farm.

On a separate motion, trustees voted to authorize the village president to execute a settlement and release in Andrew Snead et al. v. Village of Lynwood et al., case no. 22‑cv‑00266, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Attorney Boyle said the matter was handled by special counsel Peterson Johnson Murphy and described it as “a 1983 action” settled “far below what had been demanded initially by the plaintiffs.” The board voted in support of the motion as presented.

Finance motions to approve three bill‑payment memos also passed unanimously. Bill payment memo No. 1513 totaled $237,242.96 and included payroll for the period described in the motion as 11/27/24. Bill payment memo No. 1514 totaled $357,581.69 and included payroll for the period noted as 12/8/24 to 12/21/24. Bill payment memo No. 1515 totaled $228,984.24 and was approved as stated; the payroll period given in the meeting for that memo was unclear in the record.

What the board approved

• Bill payment memo No. 1515 — $228,984.24 (payroll period as stated in the meeting was not clearly recorded). Motion: Trustee Marshall; second: Trustee Clark. Roll call: unanimous. Outcome: approved.

The-approved items carry administrative next steps: the mobile‑vendor ordinance will be added to the village code; the Flower Moon LLC special‑use permit proceeds per the zoning board recommendation; and the settlement authorization allows the village president to sign the agreement handled by special counsel. Trustee motions and roll‑call votes recorded during the meeting are part of the official minutes.","At its Jan. 14 meeting the Village of Lynwood Board of Trustees adopted an ordinance creating a mobile food‑vendor chapter, granted a special-use permit for a solar project, authorized a settlement agreement tied to a Section 1983 suit and approved three bill-payment memos totaling about $823,808.","actionData","errors"]
