# Finance Budget 10-5-2026

The LaSalle County Board Finance Budget Committee met on October 5, 2026, to review 2027 budget figures. Parks staff presented a $135,000 site-improvement request covering electricity, concrete sidewalks and shelter work, and gravel parking. Members discussed prioritizing electrical work and limited concrete improvements, with other work potentially deferred; the discussion later referenced a possible $185,000 amount, but the committee deferred final decisions pending review of the county’s levy and overall budget capacity. Staff were asked to revisit possible grant support for park improvements. A downtown courthouse generator transfer was also discussed, including the possibility of grant funding, but no procurement approval was recorded.

The committee reviewed payroll-related IMRF and Social Security budgets, revenue estimates, and the proposed general-fund levy. The jail medical contract was budgeted at approximately $1.23 million, with members expecting final pricing before budget approval and hoping it would be lower. Members also discussed requesting budget reductions or revised figures from larger departments and revisiting the budget at a later meeting. No vendor selection, contract award, or final capital-spending approval was recorded.
