# Executive Committee Meeting 10/21/26

The Kankakee County Board Executive Committee met October 21, 2026. The committee discussed the Kankakee Regional Land Bank and its Strong Communities Program Round 2 grant: 48 properties had been submitted, with about $336,865.52 of the $487,000 allocation requested and the land bank planning to use the full allocation before the grant closes. The discussion focused on the county’s administrative workload and whether responsibility should shift to the City of Kankakee; members disagreed about the county’s continuing role. A motion to table the matter passed on a roll-call vote, so no transfer or other final action was approved. The committee also received an update on the courthouse renovation, including staff installation and replacement of network lines in the East Wing, and was told that the project was on budget. No contract awards or vendor selections were identified.

The county’s liability, property, and workers’ compensation insurance renewal was not ready for the scheduled finance meeting; a special finance committee meeting was planned, with an Alliant representative expected to present. No renewal amount or purchasing decision was stated. Other discussion included county revenue, legislative issues, and department reports; no additional procurement actions were identified.
