Streaming LIVE: Aurora Finance Committee Meeting | 08-27-2026

The City of Aurora Finance Committee held a meeting on August 27, 2026, primarily to consider a resolution authorizing the city to accept a $160,200 grant from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through the State Energy Program. The grant supports a budgeted capital improvement project to upsize and modify the electrical system for high pressure pump number three, including purchasing a larger pump, motor, and implementing a variable frequency drive to improve energy efficiency. The committee discussed that the project was already included in the current budget and that the grant funding would cover 90% of the $178,000 project cost, with the city providing a 10% match. The committee unanimously approved the resolution and adjourned the meeting shortly thereafter.
