Finance and TIF 8-11-2026 pt. 3

The LaSalle County Board held a Finance and TIF meeting on August 11, 2026, where members discussed potential departmental consolidation to achieve cost savings in the upcoming budget year. The conversation focused on combining two offices, possibly eliminating one employee position to save approximately $50,000, and increasing central service purchasing. They also considered modernizing record-keeping by digitizing documents to reduce reliance on microfilming. Additionally, the board planned to schedule multiple finance meetings in September to review budgets, including public safety and county property budgets. The meeting concluded with the approval of the auditor's report and a motion to adjourn. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned during this session.
