Summary
Consultant Dave Ross of 65th North told the Will County Finance Committee the Homer Glen cost study is in initial data review and will include financial models showing what it would cost the village to start and operate its own police department; staff expects a final report in about three months.
The Will County Finance Committee heard an update on a cost study for Homer Glen that will compare historical charges and model what it would cost the village to establish and run its own police department.
Dave Ross of 65th North, the vendor selected for the study, told the committee the team is in the initial data-review phase and is developing “full financial models for what it would be for the village to initiate and operate and sustain their own police department.” He said the study will reconcile historical billing and escalation terms and produce a multi‑pronged cost‑allocation plan for future billing decisions.
The consultant said the project team anticipates completing the study in about three months and will provide updates to the committee as needed. Chair called for committee questions during and after the presentation; none prompted changes to the timeline Ross gave.
The committee received the update as information; no vote or formal action on the study was recorded during the meeting.
