LaSalle County committee approves eHealth contract wording change, biometric screening logistics and staff travel

Melissa presented the committee with logistics for the county’s annual biometric screening event and asked members to approve a small amendment to the eHealth master agreement. She said the vendor proposed replacing a fixed cents‑per‑mile travel reimbursement with a clause that sets reimbursement at no more than the current federal mileage rate and replacing a fixed hotel rate with a "reasonable, modest associated rate" for overnight stays when extensive travel is required. Pat Herman had reviewed the proposed language and endorsed the change.

The committee moved and seconded the change and approved the amendment by voice vote; Melissa said Mr. Jensen would sign the amended master agreement on behalf of the county. The committee also approved forwarding out‑of‑state travel for Melissa and several department heads to attend a CIC conference in August; those travel requests will be forwarded to the full board as part of routine approval.

Members then approved the committee bills by voice vote. No executive session was held. The committee adjourned after completing business.

Votes recorded in the transcript were by voice and the meeting record did not capture numerical roll‑call tallies in the transcript; all motions noted in the meeting record passed by majority voice vote and will be included in the minutes forwarded to the full board.
