11 4 2026 Health Committee Meeting

The Iroquois County Board Health Committee meeting on November 4, 2026, included agency reports from the 377 Board, the mental health center, public health, and animal control. The 377 Board described disability support, employment, and transportation needs, including discussions with rural transportation providers about possible future service arrangements; no new transportation contract was approved. The mental health center reported that it had applied for rural health transformation funding that could support vehicles and four full-time positions for community-based services, with a funding decision expected in December. It also plans to launch a mobile crisis service in January and is coordinating with the sheriff and 911 partners. The animal control report noted that its incoming officer had applied for a Farm Bureau grant; the officer’s start date is December 1.

The committee discussed claims and American Express charges, and a motion to pay the bills was introduced, but the transcript does not capture a second or vote. No contract award, vendor selection, or other procurement approval was clearly recorded. Other discussion covered agency staffing, transportation access, disability-service referrals, public health activity, and the committee’s upcoming meeting dates.
