Summary
Committee heard the treasurer's report (no treasurer present), noted a roughly 4% investment yield and a 19% increase in public-safety tax receipts, approved township tax‑sale certificates and an assignment of a single tax‑sale certificate to a purchaser to enable a tax deed.
The LaSalle County Election & GIS Committee on Nov. 18 reviewed routine financial statements, approved several tax‑sale certificate resolutions for forwarding to the full county board and signed paperwork assigning a single tax‑sale certificate back to the tax purchaser as the final step before a tax deed.
Chair Doug Treggor summarized the treasurer materials in the absence of treasurer staff and said the county's portfolio is “running about 4% on that yield,” adding the chair expects yields to dip modestly next year. He said public‑safety‑tax receipts in the report were up about 19% in the most recent monthly figures. The report’s front page listed total real‑estate tax distributions of $288,376,343 against $293,796,392 due — about 98.29% distributed so far.
Committee members voted, by motion, to forward township tax‑sale certificate resolutions to the full board (motion by Mister Templeton, second by Miss Bernal). The committee also approved assigning one tax‑sale certificate back to the tax purchaser (motion by Miss Urich, second by Mister Slager), which the chair described as the “final step before they get a tax deed.”
The committee placed the treasurer's report on file (motion by Miss Urich, second by Mister Bailey) and later approved routine payments for departmental bills, with separate voice votes for treasurer, county clerk and recorder bills.
