Committee advances emergency rental assistance staff contract to help close out federal program
Summary
The committee moved a resolution to ratify a longer-term contract for staff supporting the county’s emergency rental assistance closeout work; the draft will be corrected by the state’s attorney before executive committee review.
Kane County’s planning and special projects staff asked the Development Committee to advance a resolution ratifying an extended contract for a short-term staff person assisting with closeout work on the county’s U.S. Treasury emergency rental assistance (ERA) program. The contract extends services for a staff member already performing ERA work and is intended to ensure timely obligation of remaining funds and completion of program reporting.
Staff said the ERA obligation deadline was approaching and that reporting and close-out work will continue after the obligation period ends; the contract extends work to provide continuity through reporting and grant closeout. Planning staff noted the draft resolution in the packet required minor corrections and that the state’s attorney’s office was reviewing the final language before the item goes to the executive committee and full county board.
Action: The committee voted to forward the resolution, with the expectation that the state’s attorney will make necessary corrections before executive committee consideration.
Clarifying details: staff named the contracted individual (Catherine Romanowski) and noted she had already provided services under an earlier short-term contract; the contract extension uses an emergency purchase affidavit under the county code and will be ratified by the county board as required.
