The board voted to accept the minutes as presented and approved two building-permit items (a new single-family home and a garage). Commissioners also approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Donboa for road maintenance within Union County.

County staff explained that IDOT requires a certificate of authority that allows county staff to enter into joint agreements or contracts with IDOT and execute the county's allotment requests and subsequent contracts. The board authorized county staff to execute that certification so staff may submit allotment requests and carry out contracts when awards are made.

The board approved a resolution reappointing Greg Robertson to the Alta Pass Water District for a term expiring May 6, 2030. All routine bills presented for prepayment were also approved by roll call. Motions on the agenda were approved by the commissioners present; roll-call confirmations are recorded in the meeting minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Union County Board Meeting 03.14.2024","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved meeting minutes, building permits, an intergovernmental road-maintenance agreement with the village of Donboa, prepayment bills, certificate authority for IDOT contracts and a resolution reappointing Greg Robertson to the Alta Pass Water District.","taxTitle","Union County, Illinois","taxId",64206,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6277561,"Union County clerk announces resignation, recommends Stephanie Cox and requests special meeting to appoint successor",329,1593000,1922000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2650408-19f0cce46b6c353a49b95d0cb8ca1047&start=1593&end=1922","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2650408-19f0cce46b6c353a49b95d0cb8ca1047/thumbnail_1593000.jpg","/articles/6277561/Union-County/Illinois/Union-County-clerk-announces-resignation-recommends-Stephanie-Cox-and-requests-special-meeting-to-appoint-successor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277561-5ac2a9c89c4e266156e7ce2bde7702ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1776115379&Signature=gOj0QKVD36~F88YP0~urQeVgXOQJ5HVHS3XercEfJU-ga3GfQmipuGoxK80cp3vYftvaYnK7M-ugpiIS8iSvcwCiXYiukz2ZTkICkJ5q9rEhBRvq7fM0vdG8MaiYrYEWuKMbdaGad~pp149Q5jpl-G07CO12PKVvbwnjOdCSx~nYzPIBd8FY5QiXvjYXTtMnfzqCJoIoZU0Iz9yZOK1XRVJbfsw5hdutT949f3rp1dWtKtyK-0xAzBaz8wIm5o5MvEOtdHhQQeOPvS0FF5BpzwqHSlfEacA-17PvnBw6J2pUkR6damTKYZJ5SUx0lggImeCEdD1WnfOnymOrwyRkgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The county clerk announced at the meeting that he will step down from his position following the upcoming election and recommended Stephanie Cox as his preferred replacement. He asked commissioners to schedule a special meeting for appointment and offered a shadowing period to help with the transition.

\"I will be stepping down as county clerk, taking a new job,\" the clerk said, describing the personal decision and stressing that he planned to remain through the election to ensure continuity. He said he had sent the required notices to both parties and recommended Stephanie Cox to fill his post, noting her background in the community and at the bank.

The clerk asked the board to hold a special meeting on Monday the 17th at 10 a.m. to make an appointment to fulfill the vacancy for the remainder of the term. He said his last day would be in April, after the election, and offered to have Cox shadow him at the office for about a week and a half before he leaves to aid the transition.

Commissioners agreed to schedule the special meeting. No formal appointment took place at the session; the clerk said he would assist with a smooth handoff and emphasized that the decision to appoint rests with the board.","Union County's county clerk announced plans to resign after the upcoming election, recommended Stephanie Cox as his replacement and asked the board to hold a special meeting to appoint a successor for the remainder of his term.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6277566,"Union County approves Redeploy DHS budget and yearly subcontract agreements to expand juvenile services",1026,497000,1523000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2650408-19f0cce46b6c353a49b95d0cb8ca1047&start=497&end=1523","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2650408-19f0cce46b6c353a49b95d0cb8ca1047/thumbnail_497000.jpg","/articles/6277566/Union-County/Illinois/Union-County-approves-Redeploy-DHS-budget-and-yearly-subcontract-agreements-to-expand-juvenile-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277566-3af8ea7a39eacabe59cf3ee43c3077b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1776115379&Signature=PWpCoQoWAF0pmrsDURtJnK-vti8wgQoYuVF~0vRtXkg2FAJRxPwm1~vN-ZIVi~uJisomCphF8iRYTru1Pn7upEt0pWCGdnWaEMlKzsOg~U5Q31Enf2fVTyhPXKefdKWIe0La7uu8OzdxryCDDYUnfxwLKB3GqyIV8dVmMkeha3gzvXuC8y0TO~mBJwD0hI3qa0yQErbqte7QUoLOvBdse9VkC-8YbxL2w4Q75FXcHMqO4rL6VlIVs2GFdrnS5nTUDFohRsTWuwOcFpJSCZFbD3OyKkN7-pcGcQM3sQz73enHfQj2P7OIDPkSH1smZga9F8sbU~k1XMDAeEn75c5ALw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Union County commissioners approved the county's Redeploy Illinois/DHS application budget and a set of annual subcontract agreements to fund community-based services aimed at reducing youth incarceration.

Becky Pierce, the program director for the First Circuit Redeploy program, summarized the budget and the work the program funds. \"We deploy seats to increase to decrease incarceration and provide intervention to youth within the first circuit rather than sending them to IDJJ,\" Pierce said, describing the program's core aim to use local services and diversion to avoid state juvenile incarceration.

The budget presented by Pierce covers personnel (including a client care coordinator and an engagement specialist), fringe benefits, travel, supplies, contractual services and an indirect-cost line for the county. Pierce told the board the contract year runs July 1 through June 30. She said the program is level-funded this year and highlighted that the program now serves about 88 youth compared with roughly 45 when she became director.

Pierce outlined services purchased through subcontractors, which include individual counseling, wraparound models, anger-management classes, offender treatment and evaluations, outpatient substance-use treatment, psychological evaluations and private transport for youth who must travel around the circuit. She also said the program maintains an incentive and supply closet used to remove barriers to participation (phones, gas cards, school supplies). Pierce identified personnel by name as part of the budget discussion: Julia Hayward (client care coordinator) and Heather Carter (engagement specialist).

As part of the Redeploy package the board approved a 10% indirect-cost allocation for the county; Pierce noted that the county's share from those indirect costs totals $41,741. Commissioners then approved individual annual subcontract agreements for the providers Pierce listed, including Centerstone, Advanced Transportation, Joyce Counseling and several clinical providers and counseling agencies used across the circuit. Commissioners voted aloud for each subcontract motion; the roll calls recorded voting \"Yes\" by the commissioners present.

Commissioners discussed no changes to service types during the presentation; Pierce told the board the only substantive staffing change was bringing on a new subcontractor to work with youth in Carbondale and hiring an engagement specialist to improve referral turnaround times.

The board approved the Redeploy DHS application budget and the set of annual subcontract agreements by roll-call votes.","County commissioners approved the county's Redeploy DHS application budget, a 10% indirect cost allocation to the county, and annual subcontract agreements with multiple providers to deliver services to youth across the First Circuit.","actionData","errors"]
