Kane County committee unanimously approves P‑card housekeeping and statutorily required blood/organ donation leave
Summary
The Human Services Committee approved a procurement card for HR with a $5,000 limit and a personnel‑handbook update implementing a state statute authorizing organ‑donation and blood‑donation leave. Both measures passed on recorded votes; staff placed reports on file and the meeting adjourned.
Kane County's Human Services Committee approved housekeeping actions and a personnel‑policy update at its Feb. 11 meeting.
The committee authorized a single human‑resources procurement card with a $5,000 credit limit in the HR director's name; Allen moved the measure and members voted in favor on a recorded roll call. The item was described as routine housekeeping to allow purchasing by HR.
On a separate resolution, the committee authorized updating the personnel handbook to incorporate a new Illinois statute authorizing leave for blood and organ donation. Christine Davis said the county "copied the statute verbatim into the policy" and described the organ‑donation language as statutorily required. Blair Peters had urged support in public comment earlier in the meeting.
Committee members voted in the affirmative on both measures, then approved a motion to place reports on file and adjourned the meeting.
