The McHenry County Board Finance and Audit Committee is expected to accept a $16,854.38 grant when it meets Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. in the County Administration Building.
This grant is an energy savings grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for an energy rebate based on the second phase of the electrical savings program for retrofitting the parking lot lights to LEDs.
The funding is to be used for a low maintenance native plant garden in the Secured Courtyard of the Government Center. The cost for this is not to exceed the grant amount.
Funding For Dial-A-Ride Between Woodstock, McHenry, Crystal Lake
Also to be considered at the committee meeting is an intergovernmental agreement between the County, the Cities of Woodstock, McHenry and Crystal Lake for Dial-a-Ride Services.
This is the result of McHenry County Department of Transportation applying for Senior Service Grant funds 2007 through 2011 which will provide for the estimated $90,000 needed for the Senior rides between the three cities. The funding is part of the RTA Sales Tax funds.
The Committee is also expected to consider approval for the purchase of new vehicle for Valley Hi staff use within the county, replacing a former sheriff's old vehicle that has been used but is no longer useable. Along the same lines, authorization is being sought to purchase 10 pursuit vehicles for the Sheriff's Department.
