Legislative committee unanimously approves one-year extension of McGuire Woods contract, moves funding to county consulting budget
Summary
The Legislative Committee voted unanimously July 16 to substitute and approve a resolution extending the county's contract with McGuire Woods for one year, moving invoicing and payments to the county consulting budget; the resolution includes corrected language and a flat rate referenced in the minutes.
KANE COUNTY — The Legislative Committee unanimously approved a substituted resolution July 16 extending McGuire Woods’ contract for one year and amending the posted agenda language to reflect corrected invoicing and funding language.
Madam Chair called for a substitution of the resolution on the meeting floor, saying the posted agenda contained incorrect language and that the corrected resolution consolidates payments under the county consulting budget. "This corrected resolution is reflective of that. That is my mistake," the chair said. Committee member Bates moved to replace the agenda version with the revised resolution; Linda seconded. The roll-call vote on the substitute was recorded as yes from Bates, Molina, Linder and Gums; the motion passed.
The committee then voted to approve the substituted resolution; the roll call later was recorded unanimous. Committee members clarified funding and invoice details during discussion. The chair said the contract payments will come from the general fund's county consulting line and that the county board’s budget presented in August will reflect the increased line item. "So I don't want anybody to be surprised as we go through, and I present the board's budget in August," the chair said.
Committee members also asked to include a specific payment figure in the meeting minutes for clarity. Mister Grama requested that the minutes display the number; the chair read a line into the record: "So it's a flat rate of 10,000 and is in the first, therefore, be it resolved." Separately, a committee member noted an annualized figure during discussion: "some people are going to look at the price tag and think a $120,000 a year is a lot of money." The record does not specify the payment cadence; meeting minutes and the resolution text should be consulted for the formal contract amount and schedule.
The resolution also referenced a previous amendment to invoice language identified as "23-206." The committee confirmed the corrected resolution replaces the previously posted language and that the funding will flow through the county general fund.
Ending: The contract extension will proceed to executive committee and the full board as required; staff said the change of funding source will be reflected in the August budget presentation.
