County Property 10-9-2026

The LaSalle County Board Property Committee met October 9, 2026. Members approved, by roll-call vote, a resolution extending a contract for $124,800; the vendor name is unclear in the transcript. The committee also approved a motion to solicit bids for replacement assessor’s office cubicles, with the expense expected to be considered in the next budget year. A rooftop unit for the jail’s women’s pod was ordered for less than $30,000, avoiding a bidding process; possible replacement of a second unit may be considered next year. The committee discussed budget adjustments and postponing some projects, but no other spending decisions were recorded.

Facilities staff reported progress on the four-pipe conversion, assessor’s office remodeling and jail chiller replacement. Staff are seeking reimbursement from the fuel supplier after contaminated diesel led to repairs estimated at about $3,000 per affected patrol vehicle. Park operations also received donated gates for the horse enclosure. The committee received an update on a possible solar credit, with further information to be circulated later.
