Stephenson County IL Public Property & safety Committee Meeting 11-2-26

The Stephenson County Board’s Public Property & Safety Committee met on November 2, 2026. It approved claims of approximately $128,487.30 for Public Safety and $7,979,961.49 for Public Property, as stated in the transcript. The committee discussed the sheriff’s planned RFP for squad vehicles: the sheriff said he had reduced his request from three vehicles to two and wanted to obtain pricing early, with any purchase contingent on funding. Members noted that supplemental funding had been directed to the Highway Department, leaving no current budget allocation for the vehicles. The committee voted to table the RFP discussion until December, allowing time for further budget changes before the county’s final budget action, identified as November 24. No vehicle contract award or purchase was approved.
