Lee County board moves to closed session on EMS funding, approves advance to Saint Charles rescue squad
Summary
Board members voted to go into closed session to discuss EMS funding and afterward approved an advance allocation of county money to Thomas Walker to assist the Saint Charles rescue squad's operations.
The Lee County Board of Supervisors voted March 26 to enter a closed session to discuss EMS matters involving the investment of public funds, citing a statutory reference stated in the record, and later approved an advance allocation of county money to a named individual to support the Saint Charles rescue squad.
A board supervisor (identified in the transcript as Speaker 2) raised EMS as an item that "may need to be discussed in, in closed session where it is investing public funds." A different supervisor moved the board into closed session citing "2.2Dash371186" as the statutory authority referenced in the meeting.
The motion to move into closed session was seconded and carried by voice vote. After returning to open session, the transcript indicates that "Mister Kidwell has exited the meeting." The board then considered and approved a motion "to give an advance on the allocation of county money to Thomas Walker in Saint Charles, in order to assist with the operations [of the] rescue squad," which was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The transcript does not include an amount for the advance or further conditions, and it does not record additional details of the closed-session discussion. A motion to adjourn followed and passed.
