Will County board approves construction contract and several speed‑zone changes; items added to consent agenda
The Will County Board approved a $10 million construction contract and several altered speed‑zone orders during Tuesday’s meeting. All motions were passed and were to be included on the meeting’s consent agenda.

The board confirmed a contract award to PT Farrow Construction for $10,000,000 for work on County Highway 16 (Bell Road) from 150 First Street to Martindale Lane, County Board District 4. A motion to confirm the award was made by Member Freeman and seconded by Member Winfrey; the chair called the motion carried. The contract award notice in the agenda cited a September 17 let date.

The board also approved three altered‑speed‑zone items: an established altered speed zone 702 along 70 Eighth Avenue in Frankfort Township (County Board District 3); altered speed zone 703 along Baloo Road in Wesley Township (District 1); and altered speed zone 704 along Lakewood Drive in Wesley Township (District 1). Motions and seconders recorded in the meeting were:

- Speed zone 702 (70 Eighth Avenue, Frankfort Township): moved by Member Winfrey, seconded by Member Hickey. Motion carried.
- Speed zone 703 (Baloo Road, Wesley Township): moved by Member Oxley (second not clearly recorded on the transcript). Motion carried.
- Speed zone 704 (Lakewood Drive, Wesley Township): moved by Member Freeman, seconded by Member Hickey. Motion carried.

Each motion was approved with the board chair calling for the ayes and declaring the motions carried; the transcript does not record individual roll‑call vote tallies for those items. Members indicated the passed items would be included on the consent agenda for the meeting.

The board did not discuss policy changes connected to those items beyond the routine motion and approval process.
