County Property 9-25-2026

The LaSalle County Board's County Property Committee meeting on September 25, 2026, focused primarily on updates regarding park maintenance, ongoing and upcoming capital improvement projects, and facility management. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation of a new bathroom design at Shavana Park intended to support grant applications, with considerations for size and compliance with Illinois plumbing codes. The committee also discussed the installation of new chillers at the courthouse and jail, the progress of the four-pipe HVAC project, and repairs in the finance director's office. A significant topic was the planned replacement of a generator, with deliberations on whether to select diesel or natural gas units, factoring in size, noise, maintenance, and fuel availability. The committee noted that bidding for the generator project would be contingent on grant notification and city approval. Additionally, window cleaning services were reviewed with potential for future procurement. Motions to approve bills were passed without opposition, and no immediate bids were opened pending further grant and city approvals.
