Roselle extends Metra vendor sublease for nonprofit that donates to food pantry
Summary
The village agreed to move forward with a six‑month extension of a sublease for the nonprofit 'Center Cup' at the Metra vendor space; staff said the group distributed about 350 beverages in six months and donated $600 to the Roselle food pantry and proposed formalizing a $50/month donation going forward.
Planner Caitlyn updated the board on a proposed six‑month extension of a sublease for a nonprofit operating in the Metra vendor space. She said the group — described in the presentation as the Center Cup — has served roughly 350 cups of coffee and beverages over six months and voluntarily donated about $600 to the Roselle food pantry.
Caitlyn said the current sublease terms are nominal (a $1 total lease term and a $600 security deposit) and that staff reviewed whether formal public notice would be required; they concluded the extension falls below the dollar/term threshold that triggers statutory notice requirements. Under the proposed six‑month extension, the county would keep the same terms and staff recommended formalizing a monthly food‑pantry donation of $50.
Board members expressed unanimous support for continuing the arrangement and praised the nonprofit's work with commuters and the food pantry. Staff said they will return the extension for formal approval at the next meeting. Bob Butler, who was present, was cited by staff as a contact familiar with the program.
No formal vote was recorded beyond the board's unanimous support to move forward; staff noted the extension will be placed on a future agenda for formal action.
