The Kane County Executive Committee on Dec. 3 approved a package of administration resolutions that authorizes multiple contract extensions, state‑contract IT purchases and the county’s purchase of a tandem‑axle truck for the transportation division.

Administration Chair Caius moved five items for consideration together, describing: contract extensions for HVAC maintenance and repair services with multiple vendors; the use of an Illinois state contract to buy hardware and services through Presidio (contract CMT4021089) for the Information Technologies Department; a master license agreement for GIS software; and the purchase of a 2026 tandem‑axle truck (cab and chassis) for the Division of Transportation at $846,159.60. “I move those 5 resolutions,” Caius said, and Sanchez seconded the motion.

After roll call, the group vote passed. The committee then advanced item B, a natural‑gas utility brokering and purchase agreement (TMP‑25‑1393, $300,000/year). Caius proposed an amendment—added at the request of the state’s attorney—that inserts language authorizing the Kane County board chair to execute necessary documents “subject to the review and advisement of the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.” Strathman seconded the amendment; the committee approved the amendment on roll call and then approved the amended resolution.

The IT purchases were described as using the state of Illinois contract to procure Presidio equipment and services (including VoIP and Cisco products) under the county’s contract number CMT4021089; the motion referenced up to $950,000 per year for hardware and up to $1,200,000 per year for software and services in separate listings. The HVAC extension referenced bid number 23007 (TMP‑25‑1377) as a second of three one‑year extensions and was described as for less than $1,000,000 total.

County clerks conducted roll calls for the grouped votes; a majority of commissioners voted yes on the package and on the separately amended natural‑gas agreement. No member requested further public comment on these items during the executive committee meeting.

Next steps: approved contracts will move to implementation steps in each responsible department; the amendment requiring State’s Attorney review places final execution of the natural‑gas agreement under the county legal office’s review.
