The City Council took several formal actions during the meeting, voting on settlements, procurement and resolutions.

Settlements and legal authority: The council concurred with city legal staff and approved two executive-session settlements: case 2025L003082 for $35,000 and case 24WC003697 for $42,914.86; both motions were approved by roll call.

Procurement and equipment: The council approved purchasing a 2025 Ford Interceptor Utility and a 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer from Carl Automotive Group for a total of $69,124 and waived the sealed-bid process, citing the general fund allocation for police capital projects. The council also authorized staff to issue an RFQ for a rooftop generator for the police department.

Parking and minutes: Council approved handicap-parking sign determinations at 3607 Winona, 1823 Grove, 3037 South Clarence and 2224 Scoville and denied a request at 1838 Clinton. The council also approved the minutes of the Nov. 12, 2025 meetings as presented.

Ballot question and resolutions: Council adopted a resolution directing the city clerk to certify a public question on term limits for elected officials (amended to include the city treasurer) for inclusion on a Cook County ballot and adopted a separate resolution expressing support for nonprofit organizations and opposing politically motivated federal targeting.

Vote tallies: Roll calls where recorded showed unanimous or near-unanimous ayes on the listed items; the settlement votes recorded eight ayes in roll-call votes reported in the transcript. Minutes and many routine items were approved by voice vote.

Next steps: Settlements will be executed per legal authority granted in executive session; procurement actions move to implementation per department purchasing rules; the city clerk will certify the ballot language to the Cook County Clerk as directed by the council.
