A staff member said this was the second report in about 30 days of a property allegedly being marketed without owner consent. The staff member gave an example: 2002 North County Highway 30 in Gilman was listed online; the owner contacted realtor Jerry Kratzke of Farm and Lakehouse's real estate, who removed the listing. The staff member said she would share parcel numbers and follow up with other county assessors to determine if similar incidents are occurring elsewhere.

Committee members suggested public outreach to warn residents about possible title-fraud schemes and recommended property owners contact the recorder and an attorney if they see suspicious listings. The committee did not take formal action but asked staff to continue gathering information and consider a public-service announcement.","County staff reported two recent incidents where properties were listed on the internet without owner authorization and urged affected owners to contact the recorder and an attorney; one listing (2002 N.

One committee member said Kyra Ebert had spoken with the senator’s office and that their current position is to place offices along the I-55 corridor rather than in Iroquois County. The member said he had previously been told by Paul that office space near June or July would be arranged, but staff later communicated the senator’s team would not occupy an office in Iroquois County at this time.

The committee also discussed ongoing work on an administrative office floor plan and a separate boardroom-configuration review. Staff reported a new administrative office near the end of the hall is largely finished and that the county will continue to refine plans and consult with stakeholders on desired layouts.","County staff reported that Senator Baldwin’s office is not planning to locate in Iroquois County and that boardroom and administrative office floor plans will be reviewed further for reconfiguration and use.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6345328,"Committee hears ARPA-funded repair bids for animal-control building and discusses generator funding",143,947000,1090000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249312-940165fc22ff234ac305c53ea64460a9&start=947&end=1090","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249312-940165fc22ff234ac305c53ea64460a9/thumbnail_947000.jpg","/articles/6345328/Iroquois-County/Illinois/Committee-hears-ARPA-funded-repair-bids-for-animal-control-building-and-discusses-generator-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6345328-2573a9ffc6c08891e6ce32d2c5a62254/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199443&Signature=LjVSmz2fdWXFDSwsjnVmNCx1NUhnwNnx8yRfaKUglRZUUQErhEqni6Wg-Iwwfbwa0KS-f1ClDDkdYY1jcep0Kz7hCrJatfuFGwuHyIDh5cq4kcNQrdMKN98ebcjuFzwZf9Ukttq0s1FUXTCOBllvvkpglVPL5Xf3Qk46t7AucXTgY5~KwP3ND929IPycNJQryPeTWp5UYr9oP7GfnSUiR6OnrfLYUwI3tXn8xwygUi1lsREGLKqktdWuzQwPm43ft2LdL8E5Vqsa5zn46nx87Pjo6h58BYVpdgyGPZmU-on5i~sdAI6TYjK5N3BignxVqeXa5SPAPz89UXGxmuG5EA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Committee members discussed recent bids for work on the animal-control building and morgue that were recorded as ARPA expenditures and are therefore overseen through the finance committee.

A staff member reported bids submitted to finance include electrical services for about $20,000, plumbing services for roughly $8,500 and HVAC services for about $17,000; those items were coded to ARPA and fall under the grants fund. The committee was told the county has allocated ARPA funds and that no ARPA balance remains for additional items such as a permanent standby generator for the facility.

Members discussed alternatives for powering critical functions in outages, including portable generators with transfer switches and possible placement of generator expenses into a maintenance budget or capital improvements if costs warrant. A staff member suggested a load test or consultation with jail and facilities staff before selecting equipment, and noted that some buildings (for example, the maintenance shed) currently lack generator coverage.

The committee did not approve additional funding during the meeting and directed staff to verify current standby capacity and provide cost estimates if a permanent generator is desired.","Members reviewed ARPA-coded bids for electrical (~$20,000), plumbing (~$8,500) and HVAC (~$17,000) work related to the animal-control building and morgue; the committee was told ARPA funds are fully allocated and additional generator purchases would need other budget sources.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6345332,"County farm officials plan tile repairs and seeding ahead of spring season",64,500000,564000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249312-940165fc22ff234ac305c53ea64460a9&start=500&end=564","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249312-940165fc22ff234ac305c53ea64460a9/thumbnail_500000.jpg","/articles/6345332/Iroquois-County/Illinois/County-farm-officials-plan-tile-repairs-and-seeding-ahead-of-spring-season","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6345332-477110529e0d40013d7f2858602b830b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199443&Signature=Zk920VpANH~EXGOjKL~36SREImVNMk1WQzzt773zJy-1T9PzZc42VFS7w8F9tgpAmh~gLQbjCYoQyfYA6DYI9hbL-zPo-e9Sr4K4fVK8Y8WBx-yfavA5g700FRNXoEc4cgYGHLg9KMShtVIyM~r2I4MHvCNxtWKtt6IV3KpQSFaeqmkDKUUATyfJqFBjHtrbiBZTi4s~cob1UQCRlluUuL8~0YOMwyrUZ-H2uexV-YCAQ9EvR~~moQIIq9mWDY07IpEAzabGmIzUdqmWpPFiviejyRSoqLk5QAava-auRklR0n1W9e-D2QQ0QhkIrhqx4PvN1vk4WdvSNDMpy5SXig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A committee member reported surveying county farm fields and identified a tile hole on property north of County Farm Road near an old homestead that needs repair before the coming season.

Scott said he toured fields, reviewed where seeding needs to be done and found a tile hole on the recent property just north of County Farm Road “next to the old, home.” He told the committee he would contact the contractor and had a photo available for review. Members agreed the repair should be authorized and noted the expected cost might be modest — “maybe a thousand bucks,” a farmer the speaker had contacted estimated — but that a larger-scale project would require bringing the issue back to the full board.

The speaker also said he obtained copies of a tile map for field reference and gave one copy to county staff for filing. The committee asked staff to proceed with the contractor contact and to report back at the next meeting if further approvals are needed.","A county member reported a tile hole north of County Farm Road requiring repair before spring planting, reviewed tile maps and noted plans to seed county fields; the contractor will be contacted and the work reported back to the committee.",{"_33":124,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":125,"_41":126,"_43":127,"_45":128,"_47":129,"_49":130,"_51":131,"_53":132,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":133,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":134,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6345334,"County staff report generator, elevator and building repairs; parking-lot sealing planned",316,40000,356000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2249312-940165fc22ff234ac305c53ea64460a9&start=40&end=356","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2249312-940165fc22ff234ac305c53ea64460a9/thumbnail_40000.jpg","/articles/6345334/Iroquois-County/Illinois/County-staff-report-generator-elevator-and-building-repairs-parking-lot-sealing-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6345334-69e3f0f2e89cca1994b0cad5af31c119/orig.mp4?Expires=1771199443&Signature=T8bU5tBdUGSNb8PHtnIm~LIx7jsxK-yECDXavhYB~YbTOAtdvLdIyi1yaTeraF9ymgMVaj7msG54lwRjlmlPzWQPryKr6CyKRLqg5EOycMa669X29V4PKVIKh4jQwEYRtXAGqWVmM8q7nooAly4xlcnqa9Z~xK7ob1LNyCB7DrFZnNpiCW18hbYhaYRuZqrvr0erQTt92NGXtHVnT6A75eRFqSbo0iRtE9Gb3YgSm4E5Z3EgCFYO-zdddv6AWJdZ8DJpOfDS1PvrQmzNBFKYua9VTop2~BIOPqfM5kJewIMQW9S6qB6hTsNaPArB6evg7IHEHrgg7KKQ7ykuje-ZuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Iroquois County facilities staff reported ongoing maintenance at the courthouse, jail and administrative center, including biannual generator servicing, a prior hydraulic-cylinder replacement in an elevator and upcoming parking-lot sealcoating and striping.

The committee heard that Metro Power performed full service on all three county generators this past month — the units serving the courthouse, jail and the 911 center — and that the vendor responds for smaller repairs as needed. A staff member said elevator annual pressure tests will be witnessed by a third party so the county can obtain the required annual certification cards. “It’s pretty much done and ready,” the staff member said of the new administrative office at the end of the hall.

Staff described a water-main break near 10th Street that led to a handful of plumbing issues at the courthouse and jail. The county has been replacing an aging electronic fob access system and plans to install emergency-lighting fixtures with battery backup where required. County maintenance also plans hot crack sealing, a full seal coat and striping of the administrative center parking lot later this summer as a capital-improvement project.

Committee members discussed standby power for several county buildings, noting that ARPA allocations have been used and that a full standby generator would require an additional funding decision. Staff said smaller portable units and transfer switches are used at some sites but recommended further assessment before buying a separate permanent generator for buildings such as the maintenance shed or jail.

The report closed with routine housekeeping updates and the committee’s acknowledgment that work will continue on small repairs and capital projects.","Iroquois County facilities staff reported recent generator servicing, an elevator hydraulic replacement two years ago, a recent water-main break that caused localized plumbing repairs, and planned parking-lot sealcoating and striping for the summer.","actionData","errors"]
