a. Resolution R2024-018—A Resolution Selecting the DeKalb County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau as DeKalb County’s Agency of Record for Tourism Promotions for the Illinois Office of Tourism FY2024.

On an annual basis, the County Board selects an Agency of Record for Tourism Promotions for the Illinois Office of Tourism Promotions. The County has a long-standing relationship with the DeKalb County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, with the County Board having selected them as the Agency of Record for many years. In the FY2024 Budget, the County Board has allocated $15,000 to the DCCVB for the purpose of creating and distributing materials to promote tourism and encourage further retail, commercial, and business success within DeKalb County.

b. Resolution R2024-019—A Resolution Authorizing the Procurement of Four Para-Transit Vehicles from the IDOT Consolidated Vehicle Procurement Program, in the Amount of $462,050.00 and Repealing Resolution R2023-102.

DeKalb County Government has a partnership with Voluntary Action Center of Northern Illinois to provide rural transit service. In August of 2023, VAC sought bids for the procurement of three para-transit vehicles to replace fleet vehicles that were overdue for replacement. The County Board approved Resolution R2023-102 which authorized the procurement in October of 2023. Due to various market constraints and delays in the IDOT approval process, VAC has been unable to procure those vehicles.

Resolution R2024-019 authorizes the procurement of four para-transit vehicles (two light duty buses and two medium duty buses) from the IDOT Consolidated Vehicle Procurement Program. This procurement would be in place of the three vehicles that were approved in October of 2023, as well as an additional vehicle that has come due for replacement. The total price for the four vehicles, with the marine plywood option included, is $462,050.00. Resolution R2023-102 will be repealed with the approval of this Resolution.
