Village staff recommends joining electric‑purchasing consortium to cut utility costs
Summary
Safety and Service Director Mr Wman recommended a resolution authorizing participation in the Center for Local Government electric‑purchasing consortium, saying an analysis shows the village could save roughly $20,000 annually; council placed the resolution on the table for the next meeting.
Safety and Service Director Mr Wman recommended that St. Bernard consider joining the Center for Local Government's electric‑purchasing consortium to reduce municipal electricity costs. "The results of that analysis indicate that the village could save approximately $20,000 annually by purchasing our electricity through the Consortium," Mr Wman told council.
Mr Wman asked council to consider a resolution at the next meeting authorizing him to enter into an agreement with the consortium's broker; the committee moved and seconded to place the resolution on the table for the next meeting so members can review the resolution template and the procurement analysis.
Next steps: staff will prepare a resolution and supporting materials for the next council meeting. Any contract or agreement would come back to council for final authorization.
