At a May 13 special meeting, the Champaign County Board adopted Resolution 2025-146 to increase appropriations by $388,062.68 to pay a previously approved CARL property-tax settlement (Resolution 2025-90). The measure passed after a brief procedural request to delay consideration and a subsequent roll-call vote that recorded 15 yes votes.
The Champaign County Board on May 13 approved a budget amendment to appropriate $388,062.68 to pay a previously approved property-tax settlement related to the CARL case.
The board adopted Resolution 2025-146 (BUA 2025-519, Fund 1080, Department 75), increasing appropriations by $388,062.68 with no increase in revenue. The funds will be used to pay the settlement previously approved by Resolution 2025-90.
The motion to adopt the budget amendment was made and seconded (mover recorded as J.J.; second recorded as Matt). Board member Mr. Barney asked during discussion whether the item could be tabled until another member arrived, saying, "Could we table this until another member of the board arrives?" The board instead moved on to other business and later returned to the item; the amendment passed on a roll-call vote recorded as 15 yes, 0 no.
