Pierce said the contractor excavated several times over the preceding year to run utility lines that run under the parkway and left clay on the turf, deep tractor impressions and a newly formed swale that traps water. He said the builder’s landscaper later installed rolls of sod on July 12 that he described as “practically dead” and that the resulting surface is lumpy and could be a trip hazard. “It’s not gonna come out of my pocket,” Pierce said, arguing that the cost to remediate—estimated by his landscaper to be about $1,000—should not fall to him.

Pierce said he contacted Mike Coleman in the building department, who visited the property. Village staff present told Pierce they would coordinate an on-site inspection with building and public-works staff and follow up. The board member presiding said staff would arrange for John Urbanski and Mike Coleman to inspect the site together and that the village would seek to have the builder remediate the damage if the work did not meet required standards.

Pierce asked that the village take responsibility for ensuring the builder restores the parkway in a workmanlike manner; village staff said they would follow up and contact him directly.

No formal enforcement action or permit revocation was recorded on Sept. 2; the matter was raised as a public-comment complaint and referred to building department staff for inspection and resolution with the contractor.","A resident told the Sept. 2 Tinley Park board meeting that a new house construction across the street repeatedly disturbed the parkway, leaving clay-compacted soil and dead sod; building-department staff said they would inspect and work with the resident and contractor to resolve the issue.",{"_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},6025552,"Tinley Park board grants Class AB liquor license to Pepe's Mexican Restaurant",17,140000,157000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5754855-c0232c3a186f8754830e1355843617a0&start=140&end=157","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5754855-c0232c3a186f8754830e1355843617a0/thumbnail_140000.jpg","/articles/6025552/Tinley-Park/Cook-County/Illinois/Tinley-Park-board-grants-Class-AB-liquor-license-to-Pepes-Mexican-Restaurant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6025552-ed281b75d7bc4ff4d25d257336110333/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166548&Signature=D50-Bl12kzj8DVdpztsUFhsqIo7JUm5Fi4iL6E9x4PCxf7KAuo0injM0Ol5KT1mwjnWxvQVueH87fRicu7SHF6szQbkbXrq7v343TMlZ04N0Fxmfjv4YOSEFt6ZhfPSQXHrOlTjjmGOMl4xFxfUO0OLmhtNI85Wia~R~J2Ianv2Rg-Ibhakz~9RMw2CQGILI1cBMR6M5BWSRm3KplWV~Ju7hOII0bkiRogpaGgUScOPdQfbo91OoETyakJwK7~5pqIic0-fiTyolMKkwhHgYTLO-B11rwIuTIdFOhzhxQUKh2WfPN~ieDL25otd1MiVajN9kzPn6ueMkryU4nblyeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Village of Tinley Park Board meeting on Sept. 2, 2025, trustees unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-029 to award a Class AB liquor license to Pepe’s Mexican Restaurant.

Trustee Brennan moved to adopt the resolution; the board seconded the motion and, on a roll-call vote, recorded “Yes” votes from the trustees present. The item had been discussed at the committee-of-the-whole meeting on Aug. 19, 2025; the resolution was presented to the board as eligible for adoption.

The resolution approves the form of an agreement between the Village of Tinley Park and the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways for construction and engineering work described in the resolution as “170 Ninth Street resurfacing between Eightieth and 904th Avenues” (as recorded on the meeting agenda). The sponsor identified the Invest in Cook County grant as the funding vehicle during the motion to adopt.

Board members recorded no abstentions during the roll call and the resolution passed by unanimous vote of those present. The resolution directs village staff to finalize the intergovernmental agreement and proceed with coordination with Cook County to schedule engineering and construction activities consistent with the agreement’s terms.

The resolution was listed on the committee agenda on Aug. 19, 2025, and trustees said at the Sept. 2 meeting that the item had been vetted at that committee meeting.

Next steps identified by staff include executing the agreement with Cook County and coordinating construction scheduling, permits and traffic-control planning; the board did not set specific construction dates during the Sept. 2 meeting.","The board adopted Resolution 2025-R-104 to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways for a resurfacing project described in the resolution; the item was eligible for adoption following a committee review.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6025563,"Tinley Park residents and union praise officers; spouse disputes earlier account of on-the-job injury",520,276000,796000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5754855-c0232c3a186f8754830e1355843617a0&start=276&end=796","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5754855-c0232c3a186f8754830e1355843617a0/thumbnail_276000.jpg","/articles/6025563/Tinley-Park/Cook-County/Illinois/Tinley-Park-residents-and-union-praise-officers-spouse-disputes-earlier-account-of-on-the-job-injury","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6025563-fbd7d8477f5bca1b05a78ac870b076bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771166548&Signature=TF7Q1Gu-uvP~qhd4V3vk3oCaf1wu41RGepkTWDUwGsgA12UZ9QT53spxIQ18hhCTc1uLDFv5-Xl2XImsf09vwGeetR2YeafG4NXZMZPKagb6Jek6vwpv6GyglyQ7CEYs6MGfPlLfKkLjw7tw-LxOLsggIo5YV4fVpmLwCr7Gov0CfBHSJn-XL8DuhUD2dKsJCYvKEk13bEx2FwVjNteRPv2GaK4x~1QDcgUgQXwrli9zrKQOTxUp9Er2ySi1mXgpi5urScVD-rlFiKwLhz96lmtBMNWXIhyuf9XmgD3W2n1RGM2C7xzLQKnlz~Ud9SSxn~Bed6QyC2uxbHMX57tX-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Sept. 2 Village of Tinley Park Board of Trustees meeting, a resident who identified herself as the spouse of a Tinley Park police officer disputed remarks made at the board's Aug. 19 meeting about the extent of her husband's injuries and described his recovery timeline in detail. The board also heard a public commendation from a union representative for a sergeant in the department, and trustees used the public-comment period to reiterate support for officers while clarifying positions on comp time and public-safety priorities.

The resident said the officer sustained “significant injuries to both of his thumbs” while responding to a domestic-violence call and was out of work for three and a half months, followed by outpatient occupational therapy and a week-long work-conditioning program. “The first month, he was unable to perform basic everyday tasks, such as put on his socks, squeeze a tube of toothpaste, button up his shirt or pants, or hold his coffee mug,” she said. She also said he sought additional pain management, including acupuncture, and that it took about nine months from the initial injury before he experienced full pain relief. The speaker said records of calls and emails with human resources would corroborate her account.

That speaker criticized how the incident was portrayed at the Aug. 19 board meeting and urged “respect, honesty, support, and loyalty” for officers and their families. “These are honorable men and women who do their best to keep our village safe,” she said.

Raymond Vialetto, representing the Metropolitan Alliance of Police, addressed the board on behalf of the Tinley Park Police Department detectives. He praised Sergeant Sam Dejani for leadership, mentorship and work on investigative cases, saying the sergeant “has consistently demonstrated that he is a leader and a teammate” and that under his leadership the unit “has grown stronger, more cohesive, and more effective.”

Trustee John Mahoney (reported during the meeting as Trustee Mahoney) said public safety is a top priority and clarified his position on comp time. “One of the first priorities is public safety,” he said; he added that comp time is neutral to him unless it jeopardizes public safety, readiness or prudent use of public funds.

Other trustees and speakers also offered public support for the department during board comments. The board did not take policy action on staffing or comp-time changes at the Sept. 2 meeting; the public comments and trustee remarks were entered into the record.

The exchange during public comment followed a board vote earlier in the meeting to move the public-comment period into the agenda (the motion to move public comment passed on a roll call). The board recorded no formal personnel or disciplinary actions during the public-comment period on Sept. 2.

Board members and village staff said they would note the speaker’s concerns and keep communication open with department personnel. The public-comment segment concluded without formal board action on the matters discussed.

For follow-up, the resident said documentation of communications with human resources and medical providers existed and can be produced; the union representative said department members and families would continue to attend meetings to show support.","At the Sept. 2 Village of Tinley Park board meeting, a resident identified as the spouse of a police officer disputed remarks made at a prior meeting about her husband’s injuries, while a union representative and trustees offered public praise for department members and discussed comp-time concerns.","actionData","errors"]
