The presenter said the course — a nationally recognized program through the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians — yielded strong feedback and that participants opted to start a first-responder peer support group that will meet monthly in a neutral location. “One of the comments was ‘not at all what I was expecting, but exactly what I needed,’” the presenter said, summarizing course evaluations.

The presenter also reviewed upcoming FEMA-funded trainings delivered by TEEX (Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service). The county will host a TEEX senior officials workshop focused on an all-hazards response during the first 96 hours of an incident on Tuesday, Feb. 4 (scheduled 9 a.m.–3 p.m. in the presenter’s description). The presenter said other trainings are planned later in the year, including cybersecurity training in April and an incident management course in June.

The presenter noted the TEEX class requires a minimum registration to run (the transcript cited a target of 35 participants and reported 27 registered as of the prior Friday) and encouraged officials and agency staff to register directly at teex.org (searching for the county name) to ensure the course will proceed.

No funding action was recorded at the meeting; the presenter said grant deliverables tied to SAMHSA were complete and that additional grant funding approvals for the year were expected.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Monday January 27 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A hospital speaker reported completion of a SAMHSA-funded mental health resilience training for first responders with 38 participants and plans to form a first-responder peer support group; county staff also encouraged signing up for a TEEX senior officials all-hazards workshop scheduled for Feb. 4.","taxTitle","Edgar County, Illinois","taxId",67050,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6344673,"County engineers to oversee repairs after contractor found defects in concrete work; testing and replacements planned",71,748000,819000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6&start=748&end=819","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6/thumbnail_748000.jpg","/articles/6344673/Edgar-County/Illinois/County-engineers-to-oversee-repairs-after-contractor-found-defects-in-concrete-work-testing-and-replacements-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344673-63f739c4f8b06493425f16ab256ae2f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189283&Signature=RMSOQ4fvK9Cozpunjnxlxd0ofGRwDDRYL1D33vw8J5WaQVaEw9Y7~LlDVvsNiibOnjiwjqk3xFA4WLIYbuay22FDnFI6Bzl05rPlX~7B6vw7TNlDHyHMq8m9hemryjm9zAF1omV3otbnHURClSJOAQDbI4foIVL6fhh9uCHBhF4L4rWTf2SiJQl7zB8EOPkGgsLD-Phpzp678XCmOOK0LDOZqlznty538~TOXuQxKXDgwUnLxRqM8P6kKIsHLWOS9zlqNLVa-IHr~BJCtQ31yVA47rMG3bRbavOa52aE6ix9mgKwv6fOkXplOEc0tprVEotnne7anFATGgeoj3Nazg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County officials reported that testing of a concrete project has identified numerous defects and that the county’s engineer will oversee a program of replacement and testing to ensure work meets specifications.

Officials said the project will not be entirely removed but that defective spots — the transcript referenced “about 63” defect locations — will be cut out and replaced. The engineer (named Michael in the discussion) is preparing a summary of required procedures and acceptable materials; a testing firm and the county's engineer will be on site to verify the replacements meet specifications.

Officials emphasized the county’s objective is to ensure the work is done according to required standards and to avoid recurring problems 10–30 years later. The board said that the contractor will perform replacements where tests show defects and that an engineer will sign off once the testing and repairs meet the agreed specifications.

No new contract award or formal vote was recorded; the discussion centered on supervisory steps, testing oversight and quality assurance.","Officials said contractor testing identified roughly 63 defect locations in a recent concrete project; an engineering summary, third-party testing and contractor replacement of defective sections were described as required before sign-off.",{"_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},6344678,"County officials say shelter not at fault after in-home dog fight; police and U of I treated injured dog",91,522000,613000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6&start=522&end=613","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6/thumbnail_522000.jpg","/articles/6344678/Edgar-County/Illinois/County-officials-say-shelter-not-at-fault-after-in-home-dog-fight-police-and-U-of-I-treated-injured-dog","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344678-608259c8875f9074286d340612a8b9c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189283&Signature=dE81YEMIicBLr29SbZDM8yWD0Us7vysvrpL9aeJ-eVhRSI3uZ6Sxp8Tl4SjrRytpC0wYVwrGiZi1BwAIkkJl~JOf1e5FgWOy6B-U9ZoyQSy9bIgJljyFzkHKfgah7vwpwpUGgdX3QTN0feIc~1OT5yieaofy~0edZx8vr078ucoy3zJc9FtLSff~kr6MwdUavcKO1S2NPC2pvm0VSb0GFs5ol5kY0KEs6jd7CtFRgFwXZxNqKXfRJHzz2OvKue3j45dpeS~4y7jlZWrCpqKNbesrbl173HXIFdkky2LkwrTo6i-0Q8n2MShLXDnOCfOagFcS8Go~wsOcJUoxvYTeXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County officials reported an in-home dog fight involving two pit bulls and said the incident was handled by police and an off-hours veterinary referral, not by the county animal shelter.

Officials described the sequence: a caller reported the fight after shelter hours, police responded and advised the owner to take the injured dog to the University of Illinois for veterinary care. County staff said the animal shelter could not have intervened because the event occurred at a private residence after shelter hours.

One board member said he wanted to ensure the shelter would not be blamed for the incident. Officials said follow-up occurred, including a county outreach visit to the household and a liaison (named Ron Humphrey in the discussion) contacting the owners. The transcript recorded an estimated veterinary cost in some cases for serious animal care — one remark put a prior single-animal treatment cost at about $2,000; another comment estimated about $3,000–$4,000 for a severe case — but no specific county expenditure or charge was proposed or voted.

No formal action was taken; the county’s animal control and police response procedures were described as having been followed in the incident.","Officials told the board a dog fight inside a private home — involving a resident’s two pit bulls — led to police and veterinary intervention after hours; county staff said the shelter was not responsible for the incident and that the shelter was not to be blamed.",{"_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},6344683,"County reports courthouse boiler repairs; officials say parts arriving and system cleaned",47,340000,387000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6&start=340&end=387","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6/thumbnail_340000.jpg","/articles/6344683/Edgar-County/Illinois/County-reports-courthouse-boiler-repairs-officials-say-parts-arriving-and-system-cleaned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344683-43e40aad6e00f7bc3889b4da27060e20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189283&Signature=ksPQUz~rAAkw45-e-d4RTqaBz0ZOhamtFTylusGnu8jcU~of15vuxVrXTb0yQ49eT5keBUDLdP8XNGxtAvCMszWn4YjwO6VGKc6ahmfPeyWrCO5qSsjwU~XAXcmfpN8u4PruK36qQ2gmnPlzeAnVg3kfwUyZMMry6JneFed9RDK8aSkD2X0L50f1BLi0bRZmRRmk8roRIcL6y6FYyqpC~WDkLRewd~Uu-XYTtL6cytpNkciT1cOZXGGI5cBwsZDmpAyw1RZpBfbm8WAcLqiDBGiYgG-H128fLnVX3yvS5OSuAhKvXH4KDy1yHo9rvMwV3pRi1gV8UxMyShhAq3XYYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County officials reported ongoing repairs to the courthouse heating system, saying technicians dismantled and cleaned the unit and replacement parts were expected to arrive the same day.

Officials described circulation problems in the steam heating system and said workers had disassembled the boiler, cleaned components and planned to reassemble the unit. One official noted newer electronic controls replaced several older pneumatic valves, improving system control.

The board discussed that past work on the system had included making rooms out of formerly open areas, which complicated balancing and distribution of heat. Officials said the recent work should improve heating performance and reduce recurring issues. No contract award or budget action was proposed during the update.

The matter will remain under operations review until the system runs through a full cycle and staff can confirm the repairs resolved the circulation and control problems.","Officials described work to dismantle, clean and repair the courthouse boiler system after circulation problems; county staff said parts were expected the same day and vendors have upgraded some controls.",{"_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},6344688,"Edgar County staff to draft 911 addressing ordinance and sign policy; replacement signs cited as $42",174,74000,248000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6&start=74&end=248","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2250327-0c426f0e1c0116549554b4f73a715cf6/thumbnail_74000.jpg","/articles/6344688/Edgar-County/Illinois/Edgar-County-staff-to-draft-911-addressing-ordinance-and-sign-policy-replacement-signs-cited-as-42","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6344688-9b0e3438c60e7dc42f1ed355f74a6e7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189283&Signature=jwRljijAT-uo71M0rBMAxpkZ9o8Z9Zi-Mfk7T3JOiV~DaYaVSnqjaL3Ry1h7cuJg23DkWeGxuElzj2QkVkW38-st7npxTwGt3JwzOo~50UGUT94bkrArxijTiO9i~s7sQbjSVwD0JGg1KKqdzvmOj8hwBkU2qfQifhn5bM79PjE5Oo~KrInvDNjkqnh8EfAI6cMaS4rYuV2NmMvZ4HqEtZaImVW~bmyZikmAN7kl-LWEJLwbWzb0nOwM8SOT0dBik0eT381FuNk0580GATbINUGFBpKRQk4xJyGjq8tuCAebP3Dsn7ClheCnRpMw1Knwvi~1AIGGl57muikUWZHuYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff said they will draft a county 9-1-1 addressing ordinance and a companion sign policy, and make sign requests available on the county 9-1-1 web page.

“At least the ones I’ve read have referred to the county board’s 9-1-1 ordinance, and my knowledge, we don't have a 9-1-1 ordinance in this county,” said Samantha, who reported researching other counties’ policies. She told the board she has collected sample ordinances and will prepare a draft 9-1-1 addressing ordinance so staff can follow with a sign ordinance.

Staff described a current practice of providing initial 9-1-1 signs at no charge and charging residents for replacements; the transcript records a $42 replacement fee. Staff suggested the county could post a request form and the fee on the 9-1-1 section of the county website so residents can request signs online and be informed of the charge in advance.

No formal vote was recorded on the item. Commissioners asked staff to check whether a prior county ordinance exists and to return with a draft ordinance and a proposed web-based sign request process. The discussion did not set a final fee, though the $42 figure appeared during the exchange and staff asked county technology staff (identified in the discussion as Ross) to help, if needed, with the online request mechanism.

Next steps: staff will search for any existing local 9-1-1 addressing ordinance, draft an ordinance if none exists, assemble a proposed sign policy and fee schedule, and return to the board for further consideration.","County staff told the meeting they will draft a county 911 addressing ordinance to support a separate 911 sign policy and an online request process; the transcript records a $42 replacement fee for signs and initial signs are provided free.","actionData","errors"]
