Kane County adopts contract to deliver Big Water Main Street feasibility study
Summary
Commission approved a contract with the Roger Brooks Company (Destination Development Association) to carry out a $50,000 feasibility study for Big Water's Main Street, with the county facilitating grant administration and stakeholder coordination.
The Kane County Commission unanimously approved a contract on March 25 with the Roger Brooks Company (listed as Destination Development Association) to perform a Main Street feasibility and planning study for Big Water.
Commissioners said the county applied for the grant with assistance from Big Water and, because the grant funds were awarded to the county, the county will administer the award and lead coordination. The contract was reviewed by the county attorney's office and commissioners said the action does not obligate county general funds; it formalizes the county's role as facilitator for the $50,000 consulting engagement.
County staff and the mayor of Big Water previously discussed that Roger Brooks has done similar community consulting in the county before. Commissioners moved to adopt the contract with minor non-substantive spelling edits; the motion carried unanimously.
Next steps: government affairs and the mayor's office will coordinate stakeholder outreach and scheduling for the consultant's work and return to the commission as needed for project updates.
