New Flossmoor Police Cars; Water Agreement: On the Agenda

A preview of what's on the agenda for Monday night's Flossmoor Village Board meeting.

Flossmoor Mayor Paul Braun and the village trustees will meet at  on Monday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m.

Two New Police Cruisers

Flossmoor's police force might be getting a makeover should the village board approve the purchase of two new Chevrolet Impala police vehicles at the grand total of $49,999.24—$4,500.76 under budget. The new Impalas will stand in contrast to the current fleet of Ford Crown Victorias, which Ford ceased production on. The new vehicles will be more technologically capable and they boast better fuel economy than the Crown Victoria. 

Water Extension Agreement

The arguably convoluted process of water delivery from Chicago, through Harvey and Homewood to Flossmoor will be voted on during tonight's meeting. The board will consider renewing the current water agreement. If the motion passes, this will extend the current agreement, with few exceptions, to December 2022.

When this started I thought it would be a great alternative to the old local Star newspaper. NowRead More there is less and less real news and more "stuff". It is a disappointment to those of us who look for local news, especially for news of the local government and local agencies.

The ads are too big and bold compared to the news that seems hidden.

Ms. Wallace, so sorry for the inconvenience. Please know that we do plan to make the X1 availableRead More more widely over time. To make for the best possible customer experience and to manage inventories of new equipment as it becomes available, we tend to start small and expand availability of new technologies. Note also that X1 requires a professional installation, so we are targeting customers that would require professional installation anyway.

The DirecTV interface in 2001 was better than what Comcast offers today to its existing highest tierRead More customers. As a decade+ customer, this is pretty frustrating. So, if I downgrade my service, then upgrade it back, I can have X1?

How about Comcast work on getting my internet service to work all day every day without cutting out?Read More Peacefully playing Viking Clan this morning when service cuts out. I come back minutes later and some other Viking killed me. That is no way to run an internet service.

You are correct that Corey Ray attended Simeon High School, but he now plays for a collegiate summerRead More baseball team called the Southland Vikings. Other than the fact that Southland's home field is the H-F High School field, there are no other connections between the Southland Vikings and the H-F High School Vikings.
