Trustees table MC Squared municipal-aggregation amendment after questions about civic contribution
Summary
Trustees voted to table resolution 26-394 (MC Squared electric aggregation amendment) after public comment and trustee questions about negotiating a larger civic contribution or other concessions in the contract.
The board considered a motion to approve resolution 26-394, an amendment to the MC Squared electric-aggregation contract. During public comment Patsy Smith recommended negotiating a franchise agreement with ComEd or seeking free electricity for village properties; she also urged review of section 4.5 of the RDA for payment procedures.
Trustees discussed whether the contract broker had given a deadline and whether the village could ask the broker for a higher civic contribution. Trustee Nick (speaker 15) asked whether there was a deadline and whether the civic contribution could be increased; staff said the broker had not given an immediate deadline and that the village could request a higher civic contribution. Trustee Therese (speaker 14) moved to table the resolution until the next meeting; the motion to table was seconded and passed on roll call.
