Belleville council approves Phase 1 archaeological survey contract for Kerner House Museum using DCEO funds
Summary
The council authorized a contract with the University of Illinois for a Phase 1 archaeological survey of the Kerner House Museum site, using Illinois DCEO grant funds, for $1,346 as required by the state.
The Belleville City Council on May 19 approved a contract with the University of Illinois to conduct a Phase 1 archaeological survey at the Kerner House Museum, citing a state requirement and using Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) grant funds.
The motion described the contract as a Phase 1 archaeological survey required by the state of Illinois and listed the contract amount as $1,346. The council voted by roll call to approve the contract; the meeting record shows affirmative votes and the motion carried.
Why it matters: state review and artifact assessment requirements can be conditions for certain grant-funded historic preservation projects, and the city is using DCEO grant money to meet that requirement.
Details and next steps: the council approved the contract amount and directed staff to execute the agreement; the meeting record does not include a project timeline, deliverables or a start date for the survey.
