Summary

The LaSalle County IT and Central Services Committee voted unanimously to enter an executive session under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) to discuss appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific county employees; roll call showed four ayes and two absences.

The LaSalle County IT and Central Services Committee voted to enter an executive session on July 7, 2025, citing Illinois’ Open Meetings Act authority for personnel matters.

A motion to move into executive session for central services matters was made and seconded; the committee conducted a roll call and cited 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) — the statutory authority allowing closed deliberations on appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance or dismissal of specific employees. Committee members Tina Bush, Nancy Urich and Joanne McNally each responded “Aye” on the roll call; Kindra (Kendra) Pottinger also registered assent. Two members, Brian Dose and James Reed, were absent for the vote. The committee then recessed into executive session.

Why it matters: 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) authorizes the committee to deliberate privately about specified personnel matters; actions taken in executive session are subject to subsequent disclosure requirements only as allowed by law.

The transcript records the statutory citation and the roll-call outcome; the committee did not record any public decisions about personnel in this session during the open portion of the meeting.
