Committee forwards routine procurement reviews and several intergovernmental agreements to finance

The Kane County Judicial & Public Safety Committee forwarded a slate of routine procurement-card reviews and several intergovernmental agreements during its Feb. 13 meeting.

Committee members approved placing departmental reports on file and moved procurement-card annual reviews for Kingcom (emergency communications), the office of emergency management, the coroner, judiciary, the State's Attorney's Office, the public defender, the circuit clerk and court services to the county finance committee for additional review. Chair calls for, and recorded, roll-call approvals and staff said those items will proceed to Finance.

Separately, the committee approved sending three juvenile-detention intergovernmental agreements and a coroner mutual-aid agreement on to the appropriate next step: the juvenile-detention agreements were forwarded to Finance and the coroner mutual-aid agreement was forwarded to the Executive Committee for final consideration.

Also advanced to Finance was a proposed ordinance to change emergency purchasing authority for the emergency management director and an allocation request for AOSC courthouse technology modernization. There were no final, county-level budget appropriations made during the meeting; most items were procedural approvals to pursue or to send to the next committee.

“This passes on to finance,” the chair said repeatedly as roll calls recorded committee members voting yes on the routine items.

The committee adjourned after adopting a unanimous-consent motion to place reports on file.
