Full Board 11-2-2026

At the November 2, 2026, LaSalle County Board meeting, members approved an extension of the county’s custodial and janitorial services contract with Two Gals and a Pail for a fourth year, through November 30, 2027, at $124,800, including floor buffing and waxing. The board also approved American Rescue Plan bills and an ordinance making ARPA funds available for sheriff resource officers and park erosion control; the erosion-control amount is unclear in the transcript. A resolution adopting the 2027 County Highway Improvement Program was postponed to the November 25 meeting. The board approved a special-use permit for Wedron Silica’s mining expansions, subject to conditions including groundwater monitoring, protections for nearby wells and property values, and air-monitoring requirements. A separate permit for guest accommodations was also approved.

Public comments included acknowledgment that the county distributed about $21 million in ARPA funds to 174 organizations and government units, and remarks from a community foundation representative about grants and other local impacts. Much of the meeting also focused on debate over whether to rescind an October 8 nonbinding resolution concerning constitutional supremacy and religious law. The board voted to close debate, then took a roll-call vote on rescission; the outcome is not clearly captured in the provided transcript.
