Overview
Overview
In February 2021, the Village entered into an agreement with Meade, Inc. to assist the Village in emergency Street Lighting and Traffic Signal repair in the amount of $20,000.00. Due to an accident resulting in a total loss of a street light, traffic signal pole, mast arm, and assembly, the original agreement will be exceeded on the traffic signal account portion of the budget. This item allows for amending the original agreement and increase it to an amount of $26,000.00.

Fiscal Impact
The Fiscal Year 2021 General Fund budget, account no. 1001-43720-751-530660 ($45,000.00) provides for Emergency Contractual Street Light Repair Services and account no. 1001-43720-752-530660 ($10,000.00) provides for Traffic Control Repair Services. Recently, an additional $6,000.00 was added to the Traffic Control Repair Services account because of recovered damages from a previous claim, therefor a total of $16,000.00 is available from that account.
