Council approves remote attendance policy and software switch to ISOMS

LaSalle County officials have approved a key policy change aimed at enhancing public safety during a recent government meeting. The board unanimously voted to adopt a remote attendance policy, allowing members to participate in meetings via Webex. This decision reflects a commitment to accessibility and flexibility in governance.

The meeting also included the approval of minutes from the previous session, with no citizen comments raised. A significant update came from the Animal Control department, which announced a switch back to the ISOMS computer software used by the sheriff's office. This change is expected to streamline operations and improve access to rabies tag reports from veterinary clinics, ultimately saving the department thousands of dollars annually.

The Animal Control representative noted that the previous software had posed challenges, making it difficult to obtain necessary reports. The transition back to ISOMS is anticipated to enhance efficiency, allowing staff to independently access vital information regarding animal bites and rabies tags.

Overall, these developments signal a proactive approach by LaSalle County officials to improve public safety services and operational effectiveness.
