Summary
The Waukegan Finance and Purchasing Committee on Feb. 18 approved four resolutions: reallocating the city's 2025 volume cap, supporting a potential local match for a U.S. DOT BUILD grant study, contracting a new ambulance-billing vendor and authorizing a $54,523.08 settlement.
The Waukegan Finance and Purchasing Committee on Feb. 18 approved four separate resolutions during its meeting.
Item A: Volume-cap reallocation — The committee approved a resolution to reallocate the city’s 2025 volume cap to a municipal pool administered by the Village of Buffalo Grove and Lake County Partners. City staff said the annual allocation is unused by Waukegan this year and is offered to a pool so other municipalities may access it; Buffalo Grove acts as the administrator and does not itself use the capacity. The committee approved the motion by unanimous roll call (4-0). Motion and second not specified in the transcript.
Item B: BUILD grant local share authorization — The committee approved a resolution authorizing the city’s potential local share contribution for a U.S. DOT BUILD grant to study the Illinois 137/Sheridan Road corridor, rail realignment and intermodal station project. Waukegan and North Chicago applied for 100% federal funding but said they will split a 20% match if required; Waukegan’s stated share is $1,350,000. The resolution passed by unanimous roll call (4-0).
Item C: Ambulance billing services contract — The committee approved an agreement with Paramedic Billing Services Inc. to provide fire and ambulance billing services, replacing EMSMC. The new contract would take effect May 1, 2025, and fees will be charged to GL code 1030224-479 (as stated on the record). The motion passed by unanimous roll call (4-0).
Item D: Settlement authorization — The committee approved a settlement and release of all claims for Police Department employee compensation claim number 240411W023, for an amount not to exceed $54,523.08. The motion passed by unanimous roll call (4-0).
