County Board Meeting - Monday, June 15, 2026

The Effingham County Board held a meeting on June 15, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related items were addressed. The board approved disbursement of hotel motel funding for the DeWitt 4th of July celebration, salary updates, and service agreements including those with CEFS for public transportation services across multiple counties. They approved the use of the name Central Illinois Public Transportation for the expanded service area and authorized the board chairman and program compliance oversight monitor to execute service agreements related to public transportation, with discussion about adding dollar thresholds and oversight to these authorizations. Additionally, the board discussed maintenance concerns for the historic courthouse lawn and received updates on capital projects such as the new airport runway and hangar building. Public comments focused on regulatory authority regarding data centers and zoning issues, with no immediate procurement actions arising from that discussion.
