Board member requests special meeting; clerk outlines NACO conference reimbursements

A board member asked the LaSalle County Board to call a special meeting to discuss several items, including the nursing home administrator appointment, whether to place the nursing home question back on the ballot, use of high-fiber funds, a data center policy, and the downtown courthouse generator. The chair said the schedule would be checked and that members should indicate topics they want to discuss.

Separately, meeting staff informed members about the upcoming National Association of County Officials conference and reimbursement details. The transcript records that the Illinois Council of County Officials (UCCI) would provide up to $5,000 per county for reimbursements; staff clarified that if, for example, five people attend, reimbursement would amount to up to $1,000 per individual. Members were asked to notify staff within about a week if they wished to pursue attendance so arrangements and reimbursements could be processed.

The board also briefly reviewed correspondence and thanked staff and colleagues for park site visits that informed trail decisions. No formal votes on scheduling a special meeting or on conference attendance were recorded in this segment of the transcript.
