The City of Champaign Township convened on June 18, 2024, to discuss several key resolutions aimed at enhancing local services and financial agreements. The meeting commenced with the roll call, confirming the presence of all board members.

The board unanimously approved three significant resolutions, starting with Resolution 2024-0601, which authorizes the township to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Champaign for bridge loan financing. This resolution is crucial for supporting the township's financial operations.

The second resolution, 2024-0602, involves a second amendment to the subrecipient agreement for the year-round low barrier emergency center, known as Strides. This amendment extends both the duration and funding for the center, which is vital for addressing local homelessness and emergency shelter needs. Board members acknowledged personnel costs as a primary driver of expenses related to the shelter.

Community support for the Strides Center was voiced by resident Steven McGuire, who urged the board to consider additional funding if necessary, highlighting the center's importance to the community.

The third resolution, 2024-0603, updates the memorandum of understanding between the township and the City of Champaign regarding governmental services. This update modifies the calculation and timing of payments for services provided by the city, ensuring a more efficient financial arrangement.

All three resolutions passed with an 8-0 vote, reflecting strong board consensus on these initiatives. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the next session scheduled for July 2, 2024, where a proposed tax referendum will be discussed, signaling ongoing efforts to address community needs and financial planning.
