Mr. Koeppel stated that the resolution would be on the December 4, 2018 County Board agenda for approval.
Mr. Koeppel asked for direction from the committee after receiving a legal opinion regarding whether a Lobbying Service would be considered a professional service. The State’s Attorney’s Office said the decision would be a judgment call by the County Board on whether they wanted to do a bid or not. After discussion, the committee agreed that a draft of a Priority Listing of Projects, needs to be prepared for the County’s State Legislators, for discussion at the December Committee of the Whole or Highway Committee meetings. There was consensus by the committee that the County Administrator should then receive bids, contact bidders, and then determine the top three bids for Hearings, County Board review and interviewing in January 2019.
