Board renews three‑year salt agreement with Village of Round Lake Beach
Summary
The board approved a three‑year intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Round Lake Beach to supply road salt; the village handles storage and delivery and charges a 5% upcharge to cover handling and transport.
The Round Lake Area Board of Education voted to approve a three‑year intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Round Lake Beach to secure road salt for district facilities during winter months.
Administration said the district has purchased salt from the village for seven years and operates a bobcat to load salt when needed. The village purchases salt through a state contract; the new IGA continues that arrangement and includes a 5% handling and travel upcharge. The district noted it lacks on‑site storage capacity for bulk salt and that the village manages the inventory and delivery when levels run low.
Board members asked about carryover of unused salt from year to year; administration said unused volume can carry over under the agreement and agreed to confirm details with village staff if extended surplus made skipping a year feasible. The board approved the three‑year agreement by roll call vote.
