A. Resolution to extend the professional services agreement with Robert Half for temporary accounting services, not to exceed the previously approved amount of $87,000, and to set a new expiration date of February 20, 2026.
The Finance Department is requesting approval for a three-week extension of the temporary consultant’s contract, which is currently set to expire on January 31, 2026. No new funds are being sought.
Funding is available from prior contract approvals. The availability of  funds is coming from prior overtime costs not used and holidays that are paid by the contracting entity and not the City of Waukegan. The purpose of this extension is to allow the consultant to complete several open and critical items.
B. Motion to approve an ordinance making necessary corrections to the Appropriations for the May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026 Fiscal Year.
The attached ordinance will repeal redundant ordinance 25-O-141 keeping in line with past practice of just having an Appropriation Ordinance, include the Certificate of Revenues which was previously omitted, and a one-time transfer of funds from the General Fund (100) to the Fixed Asset Replacement Fund (307).
C. A Resolution Approving and Authorizing The Execution of an Agreement By and Between The City of Waukegan and Public Consulting Group, LLC. [This item will be funded by GL Code 100 302024438]
The GEMT Program brings an estimated $4,300,000 to the City of Waukegan per year. In order to remain compliant and claim these funds, a cost reporting service is necessary.
