05042026 Management Committee Meeting

The Iroquois County Board held a Management Committee meeting on May 4, 2026, where several facility maintenance updates were discussed, including repairs at the jail parking lot and morgue, as well as routine building system maintenance. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the county's electricity procurement. The board reviewed current energy contracts with Fullfield Energy, discussed bids from multiple suppliers, and considered options between fixed-rate and variable-rate energy products. The committee recommended pursuing a 36-month contract term with flexibility to lock in fixed rates during market opportunities, delegating authority to the board chairman for rate lock decisions. The board planned to finalize the electricity contract at the upcoming full board meeting. Additionally, there was mention of upcoming natural gas procurement to follow a similar process. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but clear action items were set for future procurement decisions.
