DuPage County board approves multiple grants and contracts including $4.7M LIHEAP appropriation and weatherization funding
Summary
At its June 23 meeting the DuPage County Board approved a string of grant appropriations and contract renewals, including a $4,699,341 LIHEAP award, weatherization grants totaling more than $1.5M across two entries, workforce apprenticeship expansion funding, and multiple vendor contracts and PO closures.
The DuPage County Board approved a slate of grants, contract renewals and procurement items at its June 23, 2026 meeting in routine voice votes.
Key appropriations included a $4,699,341 acceptance and appropriation for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for Community Services, and two weatherization awards: $974,645 (Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program) and $609,599 (additional weatherization funding) for program year '27. The board also accepted a $384,000 Homeless Prevention grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services and adjusted Emergency Solutions Grant and Community Development Block Grant totals to reflect modest increases (ESG increased by $3,972; CDBG increased by $59,221).
On workforce and economic development items, the board approved an Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Apprenticeship Expansion Grant (intergovernmental agreement 25‑112006), increasing Workforce Development funding from $95,000 to $117,727, and authorized a contract to the Salem Group for employer‑of‑record services for work‑based learners not to exceed $200,000 for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027.
Procurement actions included approvals to decrease and close several purchase orders where contracts have expired (vendors included Nugent Consulting Group LLC; Bond Conway Law Firm; Rock Fusco & Connelly; Momkus LLC) and contract amendments or renewals for Trinity Services Group Inc., Stericycle Inc., Logicalis Inc. (disaster recovery services for the Clerk of the Circuit Court, not to exceed $1,710,009), and others for county operations.
Most items were approved by voice vote with no recorded tallies. Board members raised a procedural question about internal audit postings and a request to consider scheduling adjustments for July to accommodate employee holiday schedules, which the chair said would be discussed with the chair and returned to the County Board for formal action.
Votes at a glance: the coroner headcount resolution was the only item in this package requiring a roll‑call (11 yeas, 4 noes, 3 absent); other items were approved by voice vote.
