Peoria County Ways & Means Committee

The Peoria County Ways & Means Committee met on June 4, 2026, to discuss various county administrative updates and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a resolution to reallocate staffing and budget resources by transferring one full-time equivalent (FTE) position and associated funds from the finance department to the treasurer's office to better support the treasurer's workload. Additionally, there was an informational presentation on the Peoria Heights Property Tax Abatement Program, which, if enacted, would allow the municipality to construct new homes on vacant lots and offer property tax exemptions to new homeowners, potentially increasing construction-related contracting opportunities. The committee unanimously approved the staffing and budget adjustment resolution and planned further action on the tax abatement program in the following month.
