# Land use and Oversight 11-4-26 pt. 2

LaSalle County Board Land Use and Oversight committee meeting, November 4, 2026: The committee discussed the county’s building-inspection arrangement with SafeBuilt. Feedback from residents and contractors covered remote inspections, scheduling, service, and permit costs; SafeBuilt’s revised contract proposed remote inspections without reducing the cost. A separate per-inspection estimate of $50 was mentioned, though the provider was not clear in the transcript. No contract or staffing decision was made. The committee favored examining an in-house or hybrid inspection option; Brian will research compensation, the job description, market availability, and related costs, including a possible vehicle. The preliminary budget reportedly included $250,000 in professional services funding, apparently connected to the proposed water study, but municipal support and the study’s scope remain unresolved.

Other business included ongoing Republic landfill negotiations, with the committee advising against discussing potential service-area expansion during negotiations; a motion passed to place the landfill inspection review on file. The committee approved a 2026 flood mitigation strategy and voted to send a zoning text amendment to the Zoning Board of Appeals and then the full county board. Members also discussed recycling-event results and plans for future events, biosolids notices, data-center planning, and possible uses of administrative adjudication. No new procurement award was approved.
