Summary

The committee approved a settlement agreement to be executed upon payment, authorized sale of surplus property (former duplex lot), awarded a countywide treading services bid, approved a $6,609.60 payment to Arrow for broadband/fiber, and authorized purchase of three weather stations for $9,075.

In addition to larger nursing-center actions, the Stephenson County Finance Committee on Jan. 26 approved several separate items by voice votes:

- Settlement agreement: Committee approved a settlement agreement with a health-care services vendor that the state's attorney had reviewed; staff said the vendor must be paid before the 19th for the agreement to be honored and staff will confirm delivery logistics.

- Surplus property sale: Committee approved sale of a former duplex site on the 600 block of Mettern (taxes last paid Aug. 2020) and moved to dispose of the surplus lot.

- Procurement and payments: Committee approved the single response to an RFP for countywide treading services after the sheriff confirmed pricing was comparable; approved a special payment of $6,609.60 to Arrow for January broadband/fiber support (billing timing issue); and approved the budgeted purchase of three weather stations from FOSS/Frost Solutions for $9,075 (two for highway and one for EMA).

All items were approved by motion and voice vote; roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.

Next steps: Staff will execute the settlement as described, coordinate surplus property disposition, finalize contract paperwork for awarded services, and process the approved payments.
