The McHenry County Board of Health voted on multiple items during its April 21 meeting.

The board approved the minutes of the March 17, 2025 regular meeting after a motion by Miss Carmen and a second by Doctor Anser; the chair called for the ayes and declared the motion passed on a roll-call vote.

The board approved a memorandum of understanding for the Community Health Assessment partnership, describing each partner's financial and work commitments. Miss Gaffney moved approval and Miss Altoff seconded; the motion passed on roll call.

The board approved a contract with MAP Communications Inc. to provide after-hours answering services. Staff said MAP brings experience with animal-control call volumes and offered a web- and app-based service; the contract amount is in line with the department's current answering-service costs and will vary monthly with call volume. Mister Parkinson moved approval; Miss Clark seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote.

After the consent and contract votes the board made and approved a motion to enter executive session "for the purpose of renewing executive session minutes as well as 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(1) employment agreement for the public health administrator." Miss Parkinson moved and Miss Clark seconded that motion; members voted to enter executive session.

Recorded roll calls at each of the votes included present board members saying "yes"; board staff executed the posted approvals in open session before moving to executive session. No new ordinances or budget amendments were approved at the meeting; the contract approvals were routine items included on the meeting agenda.
