Prior Board Action
The Board has taken the following prior action(s):
* The Board approved the grant agreement providing funding for this project on October 21, 2025 (RES 25-280)
Background
At its October 21, 2025 meeting, the Village Board approved a grant agreement with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (ILEPA) to support the purchase of an electric semi-truck for the Public Works Department. Under this agreement, ILEPA will fund 75% of the total project cost, including the vehicle and the required Level 2 charging equipment. Because the grant is structured as a reimbursement, the Village must allocate the full project cost upfront.
As part of the 2026 Vehicle Replacement Fund, the Board authorized staff to allocate up to $103,375 toward the project. Staff is now requesting an additional $294,216.06 to fully cover the necessary upfront expenditures. Once the project is completed, ILEPA will reimburse the Village for the $294,216.06 drawn from fund balance, and those funds will be returned to the fund balance upon receipt.
