Amanda said the farm lease bid will be posted in the paper next week and that field equipment listings approved by the full board are on iBid until Aug. 7. She said two older sheriff’s vehicles are posted locally for sale and that the remaining decommissioned vehicles are being held at a dealer (Sierra Motor) pending sale. \"They're going pretty good on iBid,\" she said, adding that staff will share results once bids close.

Why it matters: committee members were told the work affects daily courthouse operations (dust, temporary alarm silencing) and could change project budgets if higher‑security hardware is added; staff also reported small refunds from prior project allowances that reduce net cost pressures.
Facilities staff said the jail relies on four refrigeration‑type compressors for cooling and that one had been down for nearly two weeks while parts were sourced; other compressors and control relays at jail locations and downtown units also required repair or replacement. \"We were waiting for parts for almost 2 weeks. We finally got Carrier to call and say we have the parts so they're coming in Saturday to put the parts in that compressor so I'll have 4 back on,\" staff said, describing temporary capacity shortfalls during hot weather.
On the downtown courthouse, crews have been cutting brick and replacing flashing at a banding elevation around windows and parapet shelf angles. Staff said cutting created dust that triggered smoke alarms during work; crews have capped detectors near windows and have been silencing the fire alarm while work is underway to avoid false activations. Staff described the repair sequence: cut and remove failed brick, support adjacent masonry with temporary wedges, clean and prep the cavity, treat and paint exposed steel, replace flashing and then reinstall brick.
Staff also reported a $5,000 credit to the county from an unused allowance in the jail roof project in addition to a previously reported $10,000 refund from an electrical phase 2 project. \"There will be $5,000 credited back to the county for that,\" staff said of the jail roof allowance refund.
On windows, the county is awaiting delivery of a window trial area the committee will inspect before deciding whether to proceed with a broader window replacement program. The glass shop confirmed the order but the delivery date remains uncertain, and staff cautioned that delivery dates routinely slip.
Security upgrades: staff said a cosmetic courthouse courtroom project has been expanded in scope by a new judge’s preference for a higher‑level security door and that the cost for upgraded doors is substantially higher than originally budgeted. Committee members asked whether an executive session is needed to discuss security details; the chair suggested placing the matter on the next committee agenda to consider options and funding. Staff described an intent to seek direction about whether to remove the higher‑cost doors from the project scope or to identify alternate funding.
Other project notes: the county is scheduling certification of the lightning‑protection system and final paperwork for the jail roof to obtain written certification and close out that project; staff expects those items to be completed in the coming weeks. Staff also reported the IT room floor project is complete and final payment is being processed.
No formal vote was taken on the repair or security work at the July 25 committee meeting; staff will bring budget estimates and options back for committee consideration.","Facilities staff described widespread air‑conditioning compressor failures, ongoing masonry and window replacement work that has generated dust and alarms, a delayed window trial delivery, lightning‑protection and jail roof certifications, and an unresolved security door cost increase that may require budget adjustments or executive session.",{"_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},6154928,"County staff to update deer‑hunting rules, will present recommendations to committee",27,759850,787335,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5482378-24f0f271bd14a329c30847445f8983a9&start=759&end=787","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5482378-24f0f271bd14a329c30847445f8983a9/thumbnail_759850.jpg","/articles/6154928/LaSalle-County/Illinois/County-staff-to-update-deerhunting-rules-will-present-recommendations-to-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154928-57502e0d9254994683f8acb6c67c5aa3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771073996&Signature=C4hdIdo798uhIXfecHXv4Po~HBOq2DzFGlvkXftzcm4cXhOGPSyUzjHckjLYvj-iw-MghLlTGoI-LSH2TfJX9Dcu~ulS46YRrkKdUkukMPE~NwCdLKq3bApipT5qGXJMVC4trwpmuh76ObpQFhSfQV5UB3F1Y-QzR7nIPP9pbmJuVM5kQvPQv34rRY5452YXSQfKd~ZDNf879gqdxbOXUyx6H9DZmNoBpnPeNHWSiLUNxXWpom9pl9fZfo6VBSZPQTA0DVGWGQGMId038oWPgjlBwmWwoX9mj8VB8RRmrYbW9DtXQHlGfdz3ILHQp8Ct8uJQhNzfSeoSOBdBcuZ4wg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ken, parks staff, told the County Property Committee on July 25 that he will draft updated rules and regulations for deer hunting on county property and forward the proposed changes to staff and the committee for review.
Why it matters: committee members said county hunting rules have not been updated for several years and that aligning local rules with state changes would reduce confusion and administrative mismatches.
Ken said the county has not updated its rules for five to six years and that the state rules change almost annually. \"I'm gonna work on this next week. I'm gonna work on, some of the rules and regulations to bring them closer to what the state has to be more similar,\" Ken said. He told the committee he would prepare recommendations and send them to Amanda and bring them to the committee for consideration.
Discussion and next steps: a committee member asked whether the recommendations would be presented to this committee; Ken said yes and that he will forward the draft rules for review before the next meeting. No formal vote was taken.","The committee was told staff will draft updated deer‑hunting rules to align closer with state regulations and return with recommendations to the committee.",{"_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},6154933,"County parks crew refurbishing horse arena, ramp and other facilities ahead of fall reservations",408,54485,463110,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5482378-24f0f271bd14a329c30847445f8983a9&start=54&end=463","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5482378-24f0f271bd14a329c30847445f8983a9/thumbnail_54485.jpg","/articles/6154933/LaSalle-County/Illinois/County-parks-crew-refurbishing-horse-arena-ramp-and-other-facilities-ahead-of-fall-reservations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154933-9aaa191d1fcba6ae9d62630dc4c49a68/orig.mp4?Expires=1771073996&Signature=a8AkLV-cTMBHgAWpIi4gIAg4CNK~lSZ-JH166~xu5lrXl2nqvMbUF3ycRsKHmFcdZ5lxOLBW67NjlpopyM6KWngtOaGghjrCpUkJLrg91WzEHxKlEvdfZIUu1GD6TRcjyeXfRWtmxxg7ajAAcZ42kDq3lr02ufx2JknqDGutXlmN9tr3s56I05MYfyChtu6LEly9w-8G6hRDW-YdWPQXuZVgi4PgNL~OyyaWtFZFxoE7x1zcJkzE8rTJdG-oGq79AshGlhdskJ7ad5z1-VOctbWwVLnUDsLrPTWFjeR6T7ADgdgwm~04kcmmbB-bkJSeO1VkOqSysdvB3pznWLPh2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ken, parks staff, told the County Property Committee on July 25 that crews have been restoring a long‑used horse arena, installing a new entry ramp and preparing parking areas while continuing routine mowing and stewardship of natural areas.
The work includes herbiciding and burning of the arena surface to expose limestone screenings, debris removal at a planned parking area and installation of a ramp that is not yet fully tied in for regular pedestrian use. \"We herbicide it all down and actually burnt it off ... that's limestone screenings and that's what's supposed to be on the bottom,\" Ken said, describing the steps taken to return the arena surface to its intended material.
Why it matters: committee members said the improvements could increase reservations and public use once finished, while staff flagged remaining steps — especially tying the ramp into a safe walking surface — before the facility is made available for formal rental.
Committee members asked staff to coordinate with volunteers and outside contacts. Dave asked whether Ken was working with volunteers; Ken said he could reach out to Steve Duffy and Rick (last name unclear in transcript) to let them know the county’s plans and to coordinate filling the arena approach with rock. Ken also said he will invite users and groups to see the facility when work is complete and expects to make it reservable next year rather than this season.
Ken described routine maintenance and event preparations at other sites: mowing and stewarding seeded natural areas at \"Chavin\" and \"Catlin,\" hand‑pulling ragweed and pokeweed, power washing pavilion areas in advance of a large annual event at \"Shavena,\" and herbiciding parking lots. He said a summer helper named Jonas is working for a second season and is expected to return next year.
Discussion, direction and next steps: Ken said the ramp should be finished in about a week and that he will draft reservation and cleaning‑deposit rules for the new building, noting current reservation fees cited in the meeting (about $150 for larger events, $100 for smaller events). He agreed to reach out to identified volunteers and to bring a formal budget request for monument and site work at Shabano to the next committee meeting.
No formal committee action was required or taken on the parks work during the meeting; staff asked the committee for guidance about reservation fees and said a formal presentation of next year’s budget and specific project estimates will be available at the next meeting.","County parks staff described site work at the horse arena and a new entry ramp, routine mowing and event preparations, and plans to begin formal reservations next year; committee members asked staff to coordinate volunteer help and handicap access.","actionData","errors"]
