The LaSalle County Board held a meeting on June 18, 2026, primarily focused on financial and insurance trust matters. The board approved the audit report with minor corrections and discussed the county's insurance trust fund, including the pros and cons of self-funding versus bonding out to cover insurance claims. A key procurement-related discussion involved the potential use of $8 million from the county's iFiber fund to finance the insurance trust, leaving a reserve for other projects. The board agreed to recommend a presentation to the finance committee and full board to review options for continuing and funding the insurance trust, aiming for a decision in the upcoming July meeting. The meeting also included routine financial variance reports and safety updates, with a motion passed to move into executive session for litigation discussions.
