Title
Ratification of North Branch Chicago River Watershed Workgroup (NBWW) FY2025 Budget
Staff Summary
• Lake County Stormwater Management Commission (SMC), under an on-going contract with the NBWW, acts as workgroup administrative and fiscal agents; therefore, SMC must ratify budgets approved by the Workgroup.
• The funds to pay for workgroup expenses are revenue from workgroup member dues, not SMC’s levy.
• The NBWW Draft FY2025 Budget was approved by the NBWW Executive Board on October 9, 2024 and requires SMC ratification in order to pay vendors in FY2025.
