Peoria County Ways & Means Committee

The Peoria County Ways & Means Committee convened on July 27, 2026, to discuss various administrative and financial updates. Key procurement-related topics included the initiation of a sealed bid process for properties held with trustees, with bids accepted until August 28 and catalogs available for purchase at $20. The committee approved motions related to monthly delinquent taxes and the retention and destruction policy for executive session minutes and audio recordings, following recommendations from the state's attorney's office. Budget reports indicated that the county is 51% on target, with notable increases in transfer tax revenues due to high-value home sales. Recruitment efforts for election judges and staffing updates were also discussed, but no new contracts or capital projects were mentioned.
