From the meeting
At the Sept. 14, 2026 meeting, Supervisor Venturi reported the Lake Villa Township Community Park ice rink chillers were scheduled for delivery, but a 50% tariff will raise the cost by $24,000. Delivery was postponed until the tariffs are retracted.
This is a live implementation issue for the new park and signals possible rescoping or replacement timing on the chilled rink work.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
