06042026 Policy & Procedure Committee Meeting part 2

The Iroquois County Board held a Policy & Procedure Committee meeting on June 4, 2026, which included discussions on various county operations and procurement activities. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of the purchase of two dump trucks with trade-ins reducing the purchase price to approximately $52,000, and the review of natural gas bids with a decision pending on a fixed-rate contract with IGS Energy. The committee also discussed engineering agreements for the Nuts Corners Bridge project, though final decisions were deferred to a later meeting. Additionally, there was mention of hiring a drain tile expert either as a subcontractor or county employee, and ongoing efforts to improve document sharing for project approvals. Other operational updates covered grant awards for law enforcement equipment, building permits for solar projects, and job openings in animal control and transportation services. Motions were made and seconded for various agenda items, including liquor license renewals and correspondence approvals, but no specific contract awards or vendor selections beyond those noted were finalized during this session.
