Union County commissioners at a regular meeting approved a slate of routine year-end items, including minutes and prepayment bills, authorized the sale of three delinquent properties, renewed county exempt-property tax status, approved the county holiday calendar and adopted a meeting schedule — then recessed into executive session to discuss colleagues.

The meeting also included a resolution authorizing the county to request consent from the Illinois Department of Transportation to transfer up to $50,000 from the county motor fuel tax fund to the unit motor fuel tax fund if the county engineer determines the unit needs the additional money at year-end. Unidentified Speaker 2 described the transfer as an annual procedural request to IDOT and said the county does not move the funds immediately; the transfer would occur only following end-of-year review.

On delinquent property, the board approved a resolution to offer three county-held parcels for sale; Unidentified Speaker 2 identified two of the properties in discussion as 127 West Chestnut and 100 B Osterre (as read in the meeting). The board treated the property sales as routine trustee actions tied to tax foreclosure procedures.

Finance items included a noted outstanding legal bill for the prior fiscal year of $907.50. Unidentified Speaker 2 said this was the only legal bill known at the time but cautioned additional bills can arrive through Dec. 15. The board approved the prepayment bills and the outstanding-item approvals by recorded assent.

Other routine business: the board approved the certificate of status for county-owned (non-homestead) property required for annual tax filings, adopted a salary-resolution format for the county engineer that accommodates IDOT reporting and accepted the proposed county holiday schedule (which includes Juneteenth). The commissioners also adopted the meeting calendar, with two annual moved meeting dates to accommodate Thanksgiving and Christmas and to align with tax deadlines.

Before closing the public session, an unidentified speaker moved that the board go into executive session to "discuss the colleagues." Roll-call responses indicated the motion passed and the board recessed into closed session; no further public action is recorded in the transcript.

The transcript does not include specific recorded vote tallies by name for each item; action outcomes summarized above reflect the approvals recorded during the meeting.
