The Committee on Appointments and Legislation and Rules of LaSalle County approved a resolution Feb. 13 appointing Leeson Gourd as commissioner for Adams Rural Drainage District Number 1 to complete the unexpired term of Brad Riskeidal.
Committee documents read into the record state that Brad Riskeidal was appointed Dec. 5, 2022, to serve a term beginning Oct. 1, 2022, and expiring Sept. 30, 2025, and that Riskeidal submitted a resignation on Dec. 14, 2024. The resolution says the drainage district is governed by three commissioners appointed by the LaSalle County Board and that Leeson Gourd is a resident of Illinois and a landowner within the district and is willing and able to perform the duties of commissioner.

No additional discussion about the appointee’s qualifications or any objections appears in the transcript. The committee completed the appointment and then adjourned; the transcript does not show whether the county board as a whole must later confirm the appointment or whether there are additional administrative steps beyond the oath of office.
The committee recorded no public comment on the drainage-district appointment in the segments provided.
