Committee approves remote attendance, consent agenda, nursing-home rate and jail dental contract
Summary
The Health Committee approved remote participation for Member Tompkins, accepted the consent agenda including $716,501.67 in bills and transfers, authorized an annual private-pay rate increase at the county nursing home, and renewed a dental-services contract for jail inmates with a proposed 3% pay increase for the dentist.
The McLean County Board Health Committee approved several motions during its November meeting.
Member Farley moved, and Member Hansen seconded, a motion to permit Member Jeff Tompkins to participate electronically under county board rule 20 20 and the Open Meetings Act; the motion passed without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
The committee approved the consent agenda, including minutes from the Oct. 7 meeting and recommended bills and transfers totaling $716,501.67 (motion by Farley, second by Hansen).
The committee approved the county nursing home’s standard annual private-pay rate increase (motion by Hansen, second by Farley). Director Wiley clarified that a September expense spike reflected accounting postings from prior years totaling roughly $214,000 and did not reflect operating increases for that month.
The committee also approved the annual renewal of the jail dental services contract with Erica Bridal DDS; the contract package included a proposed 3% pay increase for the dentist, who had not received a salary increase since 2018, according to the superintendent’s report.
The transcript did not include numeric vote tallies for these approvals; each motion was recorded as moved, seconded and passed.
