SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Amending An Intergovernmental Agreement with the County of DuPage, Illinois, Pertaining to the Reimbursement of Expenses Incurred as a Result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
PURPOSE:
DuPage County has requested the City amend the Intergovernmental Agreement recently enacted with DuPage County for CARES Act fund reimbursement of certain City expenses incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Said reimbursement was based on the estimated number of City residents residing in the DuPage County as reflected on an approved schedule attached to the intergovernmental agreement. City Council approved said intergovernmental agreement pursuant to O20-046 on Tuesday, July 28, 2020.
DISCUSSION:
Further review and analysis by the City and the County determined that the schedule attached to the approved intergovernmental agreement did not properly enumerate the residents in that portion of the City located within the corporate limits of the County.
