The Village Board of Beecher on Jan. 26 approved Resolution 2026-01 authorizing the village administrator to enter into a contract to purchase electricity for commercial accounts using the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative (NIMEC) competitive bid process.
During discussion a board member noted an editorial change in the resolution language, replacing the term 'manager' with 'administrator' before the vote. No substantive amendments to procurement authority were recorded. The resolution was moved and seconded and then adopted by roll-call vote.
The resolution delegates authority to pursue the lowest-cost electricity provider for eligible commercial accounts through NIMEC's bid process. The meeting record does not detail the length or dollar value of any contract or the specific vendors under consideration; those details were not specified at the meeting.
