County schedules final floor work; park camera to use AT&T FirstNet for connectivity

A vendor must give LaSalle County 48 hours' notice before crews can complete the final phase of flooring in a county facility, a staff member told the board. Once the vendor lifts protective wrap and completes the work, staff plan to move people back upstairs but said they may stagger weight reintroduction on the finished floor to avoid shifting glued pedestals.

Separately, the county reported that a Wi-Fi camera installation at a public park is scheduled for this week. IT staff said the county selected AT&T FirstNet service for the cameraonnectivity at about $40 per month; staff also said this installation will be a case study for the Emergency Management Agency when it outfits a response bus with the same device to test performance in a densely wooded area.

Board business then moved to routine items: the board approved payment of bills (motion seconded by Kendra) and adjourned. Staff said scheduling of the final flooring work depends on vendor timing and that the camera deployment timeline is affected by prior firewall and staffing scheduling issues.

These items were discussed under "old business" and general updates rather than as formal procurement votes recorded in the transcript.
