Summary
County officials told the board there was an unintentional release of information related to the former annex demolition and that the first pay order of $86,000 covered bond expense and asbestos removal; staff are investigating and will report back.
Presiding official told the Vermilion County Board that recent work on the former annex demolition has prompted an internal review after an unintentional release of information. The official thanked Mr. Long for work to gather facts and said county staff are attempting to determine how the release occurred and to mitigate any consequences.
In connection with the demolition, the board received its first pay order, described as related to bond expense and asbestos removal; the figure read into the record was $86,000. The presiding official said the matter had occurred only days earlier and that officials do not yet have a full resolution to present at the meeting.
