# Full Board 10-8-26

At the October 8, 2026, LaSalle County Board meeting, members approved a nursing-home food-service contract with Glendale Dining Services, Inc., following review of five bids. Although the contract resolution described Glendale as the lowest responsible bidder, discussion clarified that the current vendor submitted the lowest bid and Glendale was the second-lowest; no contract total was audible in the transcript. The agreement is based on an average daily census of 65, is payable in 12 monthly installments, and may be adjusted with census. The board also approved a $31,000 appropriation for a financing purpose that is unclear in the transcript, appointed Damon Negamman as finance director at $100,000 annually, and approved amendments transferring funds in the 2025–26 budget; the amounts of those transfers were not provided.

The board approved Resolution 26-18 for township bridge and drainage improvements, funding them from the county bridge fund. Seven listed projects have estimated costs totaling $633,400; engineering is planned in advance, with construction anticipated in 2028. A proposed special-use amendment for railroad-tie processing was denied, with 7 votes in favor and 18 opposed, following questions about fire safety and environmental risks. The board also approved an ARPA allocation described in the transcript as approximately $12,056 for sheriff’s resource officers. Separately, a resolution concerning the supremacy of the U.S. and Illinois constitutions and foreign or religious law passed 13–12.
