New court date set Friday without any public discussion.
The legal battle over how much various local governments pay for KenCom’s 911 dispatch service isn’t over. The parties set a new court date Friday, after about 10 local government representatives and attorneys met for an hour in Kendall County Judge Robert Morrow’s chambers. A hearing on motions, including one that could decide the court case, was postponed until Sept. 23. Attorneys for both sides revealed little as they left the courtroom. “We’re hopeful that it will be resolved,” said KenCom’s attorney, Dallas Ingemunson. In a lawsuit filed in July, Yorkville, Oswego and Plano are arguing that KenCom leaders improperly kicked them out of the shared dispatch service when town leaders refused a new cost-sharing plan. Meanwhile, KenCom …

Members vote 7-3 to contribute cap of $1.775 million annually, rather than $1.88 million proposed by three municipalities to fund the service.
The Kendall County Board wants to pay $105,000 less for KenCom 911 dispatch services than the coalition of Oswego, Yorkville and Plano would like them to. And the three municipalities would have to make up the difference. After nearly two hours of debate Tuesday, board members voted 7-3 in favor of contributing a cap of $1.775 million annually, rather than a proposed cap of $1.88 million proposed by the cities to fund the service. The village of Oswego and the cities of Yorkville and Plano will begin contributing to KenCom in May 2014 for the first time, based on the portion of calls that come from each municipality. The three towns filed a lawsuit about a month ago after KenCom leaders threatened to cut off their service Dec. 1 if town …

Compromise on funding could end litigation between 911 service and village, Yorkville, Plano.
Editor's note: Article updated about 11:45 a.m. with information from Yorkville Mayor Gary Golinski. The village of Oswego has reached a compromise with KenCom over funding for 911 services.
