Bob, a buildings and grounds staff member, told the committee the county received a quote of about $11,000 to \"redo the control panel which is 59 years old\" on an Eastside generator and said staff plan to time the generator control‑panel work with an electrical panel replacement to limit building outages.

Bob said the courthouse elevator will get a special keyed control for judges so the elevator can \"override\" and go directly to the requested floor. He also described window replacement work and ongoing final detailing on a recently replaced roof, which has had some leaks around skylights and other detail areas; he said the contractor will complete a manufacturer's warranty walkthrough before final payment.

Committee members asked whether the county was withholding payments while contractors finish incomplete work. Bob replied the county is holding \"quite a bit of money\" for outstanding items, including missing lightning rods, and that the county is tracking monthly pay requests.

Other updates included jail flooring replacement (county staff removed wax to save an estimated $700) and ventilation duct changes in a small states' attorney office to reduce noise; staff reported the jail partitions and many interior finishes are now in place.

Bob said the EPDM roofs the county installs carry a 20‑year standard warranty: \"The EPDM roofs we put on are 20 years and that's industry standard now so.\" Several project timelines remain dependent on materials, weather and contractor availability; no procurement decisions were made at the March 28 meeting.

Staff said the window lintel and control‑joint project had a mandatory pre‑bid with six contractors and that bids would be opened at a future county property meeting.","Buildings and grounds staff briefed the committee on an $11,000 control‑panel repair for an Eastside generator, elevator keying for judges, unfinished roof detailing and other facility work; some contractor payments are being held pending completion.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6099859,"County parks report: Catlin restroom open, cameras and parking plans, 25 oaks to be planted",653,98000,751000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2815788-3da5bc6586a079ce3cc4cd9d6ff74dc1&start=98&end=751","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2815788-3da5bc6586a079ce3cc4cd9d6ff74dc1/thumbnail_98000.jpg","/articles/6099859/LaSalle-County/Illinois/County-parks-report-Catlin-restroom-open-cameras-and-parking-plans-25-oaks-to-be-planted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6099859-97cb3d666059cf2c9fe8e9f461e1da8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161143&Signature=G1qaOYA-gu-IL7k5ZRo5EYHCaZGIocbepIUF-qf1s61vOpz1Cthz3wE85YUl1Bm4z6dk8Eeq2VV49tTFMtzoRs31Z7X2tSbncWGglT~fopa-nzZEK3K8429bn8QxlgUYQ2i13EOt6c9KCldEa55jWoMj~zl-mntfoDG5oH8Donop6TiqQb2~gZlJzgQ4qWaY1bsVH1BOTeUJCmHfBgCgU8dLFvlcwVzeUgp~WT1cz7yFDL8L1vWAJDuJooLWZwaO3hClCPAjzls0q6y52l0h9LBfL8g0r7d9Q-CqqjFIsDymxnD97pPojfFGF4sJ1w~WCI3bTSvXEMZXm5eqQeX~dg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","LaSalle County parks staff updated the property committee March 28 on park improvements including an open restroom at Catlin, camera and internet plans, and seeded native plantings and a tree‑planting event.

Ken, a parks staff member, told the committee \"the bathroom at Catlin. It is open. The water is on, and the doors are unlocked.\" He said the well house at Catlin has been winterized and that staff expect to have water and septic connections ready for a modular building once contractors complete concrete and handicap‑parking work.

Ken said he has estimates for removing two old pit toilets and for cleaning and graveling a parking area; he told the committee he expects much of that work to be paid from a grant. He also said he has estimates for a generator for the modular building but is \"gonna hold off...until closer to fall\" to see what grant funds will cover.

On security, Ken said the county has \"4 cameras for each park\" with base stations and solar panels ready for installation and that the images will upload automatically for remote monitoring. He said staff plan to use Starlink to improve internet service at two park locations.

Ken described natural‑area work: Pheasants Forever is providing a seed spreader and seed for seeding roughly 5 acres at each park; Ken also reported he had cleaned and collected extra seed to increase species diversity. He said Audrey, with soil and water, obtained a grant that supports planting 25 oaks and that 4‑H volunteers would help plant the trees that day.

Committee members asked whether the gravel work would require formal competitive bidding. Ken said the gravel estimate is \"under $20, I think, or right at 20,\" and that he was seeking multiple estimates; he said he does not expect to have to put the work out to bid unless costs exceed procurement thresholds.

Ken told the committee staff were also addressing erosion in trail areas and coordinating riprap under an erosion grant; sidewalk and concrete work at Shavon remained dependent on ground and frost conditions, he said.

No formal votes were taken on the parks items at the March 28 meeting; staff said they would proceed with estimates and return with final contract or bid recommendations as needed.","Parks staff reported the Catlin restroom is open, cameras and internet upgrades are ready to install, gravel and concrete estimates are pending for a modular building site, and volunteers and a grant will fund planting 25 oak trees.",{"_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},6099864,"LaSalle County property committee reviews $450,000 downtown diesel generator; 13-month lead time could span budget years",729,1819000,2548000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2815788-3da5bc6586a079ce3cc4cd9d6ff74dc1&start=1819&end=2548","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2815788-3da5bc6586a079ce3cc4cd9d6ff74dc1/thumbnail_1819000.jpg","/articles/6099864/LaSalle-County/Illinois/LaSalle-County-property-committee-reviews-450000-downtown-diesel-generator-13-month-lead-time-could-span-budget-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6099864-9e3b919873b67567519135664f0b64d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161143&Signature=RkJ2oF-r9W1cmKlk1v1c~jcPP8P5UwfUgvDBJlNm~EPUkjDhYKWGeeODHCSfbOrwZPZ29EO0pKcVBsm~Rp86lcVJcwUlFQWhj54FA7fEIgUltWfH8XKAcKJM55KUJo5aYQu0ea4RBxiAPe8Nazl5pLztpzefa48Zy4UNgmIQhKnwHHGVvXy6fm5fJC7hFlDyinewvjsx0M3C42hxuweE9KbONpG6LD--9Ll5M~nCiyKXdGoIhv5sazalqyH3TpTq6Wiv6-MXd~2y-toDvkdIwLVxWwdUaABXTLcLZnIFjoJc5DNaewEXx2-RhkgFIyhwhzk7ThKfc5ur5g8ykn1~pg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","LaSalle County property committee members discussed a proposed diesel generator for the downtown courthouse at their March 28 meeting, hearing staff estimates that the equipment and site work would cost about $450,000 and could take more than a year to arrive.

Kurt, a county staff member who presented the update, told the committee the project’s \"current cost estimated with the generator manufacturers was $450,000,\" including a custom level‑4 sound enclosure chosen to reduce noise for nearby apartments and businesses. He said generators with that enclosure were reported to have a \"13 month\" lead time from shop‑drawing approval.

The cost estimate assumes relocating Ameren electrical equipment at Ameren’s expense and installing a concrete pad, transfer switch and diesel tank. Kurt described the largest generator and clearance plan the committee used for layout: \"the largest of the 3 was with this level 4 soundproof enclosure is 20 feet long, 8 feet wide by 8 and a half feet tall,\" with required clearances expanding the fenced footprint to roughly 20 by 32 feet in the county’s sketches.

Committee members pressed staff on logistics and timing. Gary Small, a committee member, and others noted the 13‑month lead time likely crosses into the next fiscal year; Kurt acknowledged that if that lead time holds \"it'd be 13 months before it arrives\" and that the county could seek updated lead times from the other two manufacturers named in the project manual.

Kurt said the project's electrical engineer expects a long useful life for a properly maintained diesel generator: \"they expect a useful life with proper maintenance is 40 plus years,\" though manufacturing representatives often cite 20–25 years.

Committee members also discussed coordination with Ameren, which would relocate transformers and other equipment and would perform work on weekends to limit courthouse downtime. Doug, a committee member, summarized the coordination: the county would prepare its portion and Ameren would perform its transfers when both were ready so hookups could occur together.

The committee discussed alternatives. Kurt reviewed past analysis of natural gas versus diesel, saying when a generator is derated for natural gas \"it turned out it was larger\" and that prior county projects favored diesel because of footprint and performance considerations. The committee did not adopt any motion on the generator at the meeting.

Staff said they would continue seeking updated lead times from the other manufacturers named in the project manual (Caterpillar, Cummins Power and Kohler Power Systems) and bring further information back to the property committee. A tentative follow‑up meeting with the city mayor was scheduled for the following week to clarify options and timing.

No formal vote or award was taken on the generator at the March 28 meeting; the item remained under discussion for future meetings.","County staff told the committee the preferred diesel generator layout would cost about $450,000, require a large footprint and has an estimated 13-month lead time for delivery; committee discussed coordination with Ameren and possible budget timing but took no formal vote.","actionData","errors"]
