Title
Resolution creating four temporary full-time equivalent positions in the Stormwater Management Commission for the functional needs of its Capital Improvement Program.
Staff Summary
* On April 25, 2022, Lake County received a $30 million grant agreement for regional stormwater projects from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). The Stormwater Management Commission currently has 70 stormwater infrastructure projects located across Lake County in coordination with local government partners providing intergovernmental revenue.
* On February 2, 2023, the Stormwater Management Commission (SMC) authorized the creation of four new positions to immediately support the Executive Director in managing the 70 projects, and all associated design consultants and contractors.
* The Fiscal Year 2022 carry-over budget includes $867,419.56 of intergovernmental revenue from municipal project partners from the initial 14 (Round 1) projects to offset costs borne by the SMC. Additional intergovernmental revenues from project partners will be received after the execution of the remaining project intergovernmental agreements.
* SMC receives Project Expense Match (PEM) revenue from its partners on the DCEO grant-funded projects to offset the administrative burden that SMC undertakes in being the primary lead with the grantor. The bulk of PEM funding was budgeted in Engineering Consultants, in the professional services budget category, in the FY2023 Adopted Budget. A line item transfer will be required to move the appropriate amount to cover these salaries into the personnel budget category at a subsequent meeting, once the approximate amount for these positions is determined.
