President Richard Samples presented the Committee of the Whole with a proposed engineering services agreement from Benton & Associates to study/engineer the village water tower.

Trustee J.W. Coleman asked whether the agreement needed to be competitively bid; Treasurer/Clerk Mindy Olson said she would check with the village attorney. Trustee Paula Belobrajdic-Stewart urged the item be placed on the next board agenda as an action item. No contract was executed at the committee meeting and no dollar figure for engineering services was recorded in the minutes.

Trustees directed staff to confirm procurement requirements and return the item to the board for a formal decision. The minutes do not record a proposed fee, scope of work, or contract timeline; those items appear to be pending legal and procurement review.
