The LaSalle County Board held a meeting on April 15, 2026, focusing extensively on procurement and contracting related to county infrastructure projects. The board reviewed and approved multiple permits for Surf Air Wireless, including some that were previously incomplete. They awarded several construction contracts, including a $56,850 contract to McCann Concrete Products for a precast concrete box culvert, and multiple asphalt and resurfacing projects to contractors such as Universal Asphalt, Advanced Asphalt, and AC Pavement Striping, with contract values ranging from approximately $33,000 to over $150,000. The board also discussed equipment purchases, including a $187,000 John Deere loader procured via Sourcewell pricing, and repair contracts for county trucks. Several motions to approve bids and awards were passed, often pending concurrence from the Highway Commissioner. The meeting included discussions on permit compliance, contractor bidding processes, and budget considerations for ongoing and upcoming road and infrastructure projects.
