The Union County Board of Commissioners approved routine meeting business including the Dec. 29 regular minutes, two building permits and a resolution certifying officials required to file economic-interest statements under the Illinois Government Ethics Act.

Speaker 1 moved to approve the regular minutes from the Dec. 29 meeting; the motion was seconded and advanced to a recorded roll-call vote. The board then moved to accept executive session minutes from Dec. 29 in a separate motion.

Speaker 5 presented two building permits recommended for approval: parcel 0427025431, a single-family home at 195 Williams Ridge Lane in Cobden for Jonathan White; and parcel 091406406GE3, a single-family home at 2275 Veil Creek Road for Trey Pender. Speaker 1 asked if there were any questions before moving to accept the permits "as recommended." Members responded in roll call and the permits were recorded as accepted.

On finance, Speaker 1 moved to pay the county's bills; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.

The board also considered a resolution to certify the persons required to file statements of economic interest "pursuant to Illinois Government Ethics Act." Speaker 5 noted a new state form is expected to arrive for those required to file. The resolution was moved, seconded and advanced by recorded vote.

The meeting record shows motions were made and approved by roll call for the minutes, executive-session minutes, the two permits, payment of bills and the ethics-filing resolution. Individual roll-call responses are recorded in the official meeting record.

The board adjourned following a final motion to close the meeting.
