# DuPage County Human Services Committee Meeting, Tuesday 10/6/26

The DuPage County Human Services Committee met on October 6, 2026. The committee approved acceptance and appropriation of $838,800 for the Aging Case Coordination Unit for program year 2027, additional LIHEAP funding for program year 2025—stated as an increase from $450,265 to $4,500,265—and $387,000 in payments to energy-assistance providers. It also approved care-center purchase orders for liquid portable oxygen and repairs from Airgas USA LLC, not to exceed $50,000; wellness-center staffing and management, not to exceed $68,500; rehabilitation consulting services from Simbria Rehab, Inc., not to exceed $550,000; and restroom and tissue supplies, not to exceed $39,000. The transcript does not clearly identify the vendor for the latter two contracts beyond the rehabilitation provider.

The committee approved closing or reducing several expiring purchase orders, including those associated with Advocare Systems, Air Gas, Brightar Central Page, KCI USA, Nova Staff Healthcare Services, and RCM Technologies; several amounts are garbled in the transcript. It separately approved a $30,000 reduction to an RCM Technologies purchase order to make budget available for two other contracts providing supplemental staffing at the Care Center. A proposal to change a vacant part-time senior-services billing specialist position to full-time received committee consensus; staff will prepare an amended resolution for consideration the following week, so no final vote on that change occurred at this meeting.
