Fin. Dir. Onzick was present by Zoom. He announced that 11 bids were received for the bonds with interest rates ranging from .43%-1.68%.

1. Authorizing Agreement for Professional Services of a Consulting Firm to Assist in Planning, Accounting, Distribution, and Reporting of American Rescue Plan Act Funds and Corresponding Budget Adjustment (Not Included)
Sanchez motioned to discuss and potentially pass this resolution. Frasz seconded.
Vice-Chair Shepro made a parliamentary inquiry since the resolution was not sent out prior to the meeting nor was it walked in. He further discussed the magnitude of the contract and stated that it would not be appropriate to consider without proper notice. Martin agreed. Frasz inquired on the consequences a 30-day delay would cause. Sanchez stated that a third-party consultant is needed to vet and prioritize all of the departmental requests that have been received. He noted that the consultant will also assist with the Community Support Grant funds. However, if the consultant has not been established by the time the portal closes, there will be a delay in the release of that money by 30 days. Madam Chairman requested that this resolution be sent to the ARP meeting directly after this meeting. Molina recommended a compromise, to move this resolution to the ARP Committee and then move onto the Special Executive agenda before moving onto the County Board, October 12, 2021. Martin noted that the contract has not been reviewed and therefore has no basis of moving forward.
Motion made by Martin to move this resolution back to the ARP Committee for further consideration. Tepe seconded.
The Committee addressed their concerns and recommended the contract be reviewed and provided before returning to this committee. Tepe noted that funds have been expended from this government allocation and recommended the continuation of that. He explained that there was no urgency to rush into an agreement without proper vetting by the Committee. Sanchez stated that this resolution will be on the next ARP meeting agenda, directly following this Executive Committee meeting. He noted that the State’s Attorney has the contract drafts and statement of work to review. Sanchez discussed the process of the Cares Act Fund allocation, which included help from the State’s Attorney and the Office of Community Reinvestment. He stated that help will not be available for ARP funding and reiterated the need for a consulting firm. He supported the idea of a discussion at the following ARP Committee meeting and at the Special Executive meeting on October 12, 2021. Sanchez stated that a final contract may be available to present at that time. Madam Chairman Pierog discussed the requests that have been made for the grant funding and the importance of the Committee to define the goals of the ARP funding. ASA Niermann clarified specific points of order. After much discussion and clarification, Madam Chairman called the motion made by Martin.
Martin motioned to commit and refer this discussion to the ARP Committee with a follow-up resolution, which will be printed out and distributed to the ARP Committee following this meeting. Tepe seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
