Will County Capital Improvements & IT Committee Meeting October 6, 2026

The Will County Board Capital Improvements & IT Committee met on October 6, 2026. Facilities staff reported that the Laraway Road DOT administration building and maintenance garage projects are underway and on schedule, with F.H. Paschen and Leopardo handling the buildings. Sidewalk restoration at the Community Health Center was expected to finish by the end of the week. Bid documents for the Sunny Hill Nursing Home annex roof replacement were expected back by month-end, after which the roofing work would be advertised for bids. Staff also said electrical thermographic inspections across county buildings will require future budget planning; no cost estimate was provided. A committee member reported that the county’s EV charging stations were not working, and staff said they would check on the issue. Pro-West was identified as host for a developing facilities work-order system, but no contract award or purchasing vote was discussed.

The committee considered AI-use policy Resolution 265602, focusing on human oversight and potential effects on employee roles. It approved the resolution, as amended, by a 5–0 vote for referral to the full board. The amendment removed language that positions may be eliminated and instead stated that job descriptions and duties may change and, in some cases, positions may be restructured. No specific procurement awards or dollar allocations were approved.
