Committee approves routine claims and recommends multiple reappointments to full board

Members of the Grundy County Law and Justice Legislative EMA Facilities Corner Committee on Sept. 3 approved a series of routine procedural items, departmental claims and recommended several reappointments to the full county board.

The committee approved minutes for the Sept. 3 meeting and voted to recommend reappointments and confirmations to the full board: Roger Long for reappointment to the Dingman Drainage District; reappointments to the Emergency Telephone Service Board (ETSB) including a reappointment listed as Joyce (surname not specified in the transcript), Alicia Steffes and Dale Watson. Each of those recommendations was moved and seconded and the motions carried by voice vote.

The committee also approved claims for multiple county offices during the meeting on separate motions that carried by voice vote: EMA claims (moved by Plessy, second by Giovanni), coroner claims (moved by Joe, second by Joe), circuit clerk claims (moved by Chavoney, second by Plessy), state's attorney claims (moved by Josh, second by Josh Chiavoni), public defender claims (committee approved remaining claims with one outstanding item to be clarified and reported back), administrative maintenance claims (moved by Joe Plisi, second by Joe Chiavone), and sheriff courthouse claims (moved by Harold, second by Josh). The transcript records the motions, seconders and that each motion carried; no roll-call vote tallies or recorded dissent were present in the committee transcript.

Several of the approvals were described as routine and recorded as "claims have been signed" in committee reports. The committee ordinarily refers reappointments to the full county board for final action; these items were recommended, not finally approved by the full board at the committee meeting.

The motions and outcomes recorded in committee now proceed to the county board where final appointments and any financial ratifications will be made.
