Resolution No. 214-25
As reported by the Village Community Development Coordinator, the Board understands that
it is in the best interest of the Village and its business communities to reduce up-front costs
from qualified trade professionals and accelerate spending of awarded federal funds by
advancing deposit payments to trade professionals recently awarded professional contracts
through public bidding to craft, supply and install custom improvements as ordered through
the Village’s Façade Improvement Program. The Board authorizes the Village Community
Development Coordinator to advance deposit payments to cover a percentage of up-front costs
to supply materials and equipment for improvements as ordered by the Village though work
orders.
