LaSalle County trustees voted by roll call to enter executive session to discuss reserve levels and potentially imminent litigation, citing the statutory exception in the Illinois Open Meetings Act.
During open session, Mike Nugent delivered the county’s November financial report, saying fund balances were down $44,002.94 for the month and that transfers were made to claim-paying accounts. Nugent said there were two new claims that would be discussed in executive session. The board’s safety-committee representative also reported training and prevention activity, noting 567 participants in quarterly online training and a reduction in reported claims to 19 for the year.
Trustee Savage moved to go into executive session; Traeger seconded the motion. The chair called a roll call, and the members named in the roll call answered 'Aye' as recorded in the transcript. A speaker on the record stated the purpose as executive session under 5 ILCS 120/2(c), including issues related to reserves and potentially imminent litigation. The board entered executive session following the affirmative roll call vote.
