The Kankakee County Board convened on September 9, 2025, to address several key resolutions impacting local governance and infrastructure. The meeting highlighted significant zoning changes, engineering contracts, and administrative agreements.

One of the primary discussions involved a resolution to rezone a 10-foot parcel from agricultural to rural estate in Limestone Township. This change was necessary to accommodate a setback for a home being built by Colin Ryan, who had previously rezoned a larger adjacent parcel in 2001. The zoning board and planning committee both recommended approval, which was unanimously passed by voice vote.

The board also approved a professional services agreement for design engineering services related to a bridge replacement on County Highway 14 in Moments Township. The contract, amounting to $6,000, was supported by a motion that passed through a roll call vote.

In administrative matters, the board authorized the renewal of a contract with Paylocity for benefits and timekeeping services. This agreement consolidates multiple services, including COBRA administration and flexible spending accounts, into one platform, resulting in a 20% reduction in fees over a three-year term. The motion to approve this contract was also passed unanimously.

Additionally, the board authorized an agreement for architectural services for the remodel of the Kankakee County Courthouse, with a budget not to exceed $250,000. This resolution received strong support and was approved through a roll call vote.

The meeting concluded with announcements of various openings on local commissions and a motion to enter executive session to discuss real estate matters. The board's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and streamline administrative processes within Kankakee County.
