The Union County Board approved multiple routine resolutions and permits during its July 1 meeting.

The board adopted a resolution setting the sheriff's salary as required by the state of Illinois; the public defender's salary was addressed under the same statutory framework. Board members said compliance with the state schedule is necessary to receive partial reimbursement for those salaries.

The board reappointed Jim Clark to a four‑year term as trustee of the Shawnee Mass Transit District, with the term described in the resolution as expiring June 30, 2026. The board also approved two appointments to the county health board: Debbie McKibben and Marsha Griffin, each for terms beginning July 1, 2025, and expiring June 30, 2028.

On a separate item the board approved a building permit for a replacement in‑ground pool at 295 Williams Ridge (parcel number 042202441A1). Staff said the project replaces an existing pool, is not a subdivision, and is not in a floodplain.

All votes on the items were recorded as affirmative by the commissioners present at the meeting; no dissenting votes were recorded. The approvals were presented as routine business and require no additional county action beyond recordkeeping and compliance with state rules where applicable.
