Lisle board waives bidding and approves leadership-development contract for police
Summary
The board authorized a contract with Outsider Consulting to provide a year-long customized leadership and executive coaching program for the police department, funded from the criminal-forfeiture fund, and waived competitive-bidding requirements because the expenditure exceeded the village's $20,000 purchasing threshold.
Chief Rodriguez asked the board to waive competitive bidding and authorize a contract with Outsider Consulting for a year-long leadership-development program tailored to the police department.
Rodriguez said the firm specializes in leadership development and executive coaching and that the program addresses leadership capacity gaps he identified. Because the service was not previously budgeted and exceeds the village—s $20,000 purchasing threshold, the chief requested a waiver of the bidding requirement and authorization to fund the contract from the criminal-forfeiture fund.
After a brief discussion and no public comment, the board approved the waiver and contract on a roll-call vote.
Chief Rodriguez said the investment supports "long term goals of leadership, continuity, accountability, and professional growth" and requested the board—s approval to proceed.
