Stephenson County IL Administration Committee Meeting 11-4-26

Stephenson County Board Administration Committee meeting, November 4, 2026. No contract awards, bids, or procurement motions were reported. The IT manager said the county had purchased and deployed additional software licenses through CDWG at a favorable price, improving access for staff. The manager is preparing for the county website’s upcoming ADA-compliance deadline, expected around July 2027, and plans to seek demos and information from CivicPlus and other vendors. A $60,000 IT budget reserve includes potential ADA-related costs; the manager said no additional funds were being requested and expected to stay within the overall budget, while allowing some line items to exceed their allocations if savings elsewhere cover them.

Other updates included a planned collaborative application for a cemetery grant, election administration and possible expanded early-voting hours in a future election, and county tax collections. The committee approved prior meeting minutes and adjourned; no spending or procurement action was put to a vote.
