For my Naperville friends, as you may know, we are knee deep in trying to figure out our energy future. The following is a deep dive to give interested folks a good idea of what is happening and where we are. Happy reading.

On August 19th, Council voted to not accept the request by IMEA (electricity provider) to extend the contract from 2035 to 2055. Instead, Mayor Wehrli proposed a 9-point modification to the contract (increased to 10 at the meeting). It is now up to the City to negotiate with IMEA on revising the terms. The requested modifications are ambitious, and there is no guarantee that IMEA will entertain any of them. At this point, the deadline has passed to sign. 30 of the 32 municipalities have signed. St. Charles said no, and we are asking for changes. Combined, we and St. Charles are 50% of IMEA’s output.

I am deeply saddened to share the sudden passing of Constance Merritt. As the former Secretary & Vice-Chair of the Naperville Township Democrats, Constance made a huge impact in our community. Constance was a devoted volunteer whose kindness, compassion and tireless service touched many lives. Her dedication and warm spirit made a lasting impact on everyone she met. Constance’s legacy of giving will continue to inspire us all.

🙏🏽 May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏽

I have been informed by her daughter Kristin Merritt Bolduc that there won’t be a service in Illinois. I will post the out of state service details when I receive them.

We plan to honor Constance’s legacy at the next NTD meeting on Thu Aug 28th. I encourage everyone to share their memories about Constance on .

Constance was a friend to me and will be greatly missed and remembered always.
