At the City of Aurora, Illinois Infrastructure and Technology Committee meeting on October 26, 2026, members approved a change order for a mechanical-system project by a 5–0 vote. The work addresses a concealed dual-duct box, incorporates a baseboard heater, and replaces a failed blower motor while adding a variable-frequency drive. The total change-order amount was not clear in the transcript; the Public Facilities Director said the project remained within a 5% contingency and on schedule for completion by year-end. Members also discussed a possible future assessment of city buildings’ equipment, ages, life expectancy, and replacement costs, but no firm or budget was approved for that work.

The committee reviewed the proposed termination of the City’s 2015 master service agreement with OnLight Aurora and authorization for staff and the Law Department to negotiate assignment or transition of customer and vendor contracts. The agreement allows either party to terminate with 180 days’ notice; the proposal would allow negotiations involving 19 end users, with any resulting contracts returning to City Council for approval. The committee took no vote on this item; it was returning to the Council agenda. Discussion covered continuity of city internet service, potential leasing of city fiber and other infrastructure to providers, and a proposed enterprise fund to track network costs and revenue. No specific contract award or dollar amount for the OnLight transition was approved at this meeting.
