Summary
The LaSalle County board approved two 30-day discretionary leaves for nursing home employees and authorized a $2,500 stipend for an IT employee, funded by the Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB); the board also voted to enter executive session on collective bargaining under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2).
The LaSalle County board voted to approve two 30-day discretionary leaves for nursing home employees and to grant a $2,500 stipend increase to an IT employee funded by the Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB).
Unidentified Staff asked the board to approve a 30-day discretionary leave for "nursing home employee 1," and "Kathy" moved the motion with "James" seconding; the board approved the request by voice vote. The board then approved a separate 30-day discretionary leave for "nursing home employee 2" after a motion moved by James; the second was given and the motion passed by voice vote.
Regarding information technology personnel, a staff speaker (identified in the meeting as "Melissa?") requested approval of "the additional stipend increase of $2,500 effective 12/01/2025 for the IT employee funded by ETSB as requested." James moved the measure and it received a second; the board approved the stipend increase by voice vote.
Earlier and later in the agenda, the board handled executive-session motions. At the start of the public proceedings a member asked for "a motion to come out of executive session," named James and Kathy as mover and seconder, and conducted a roll call with each listed member responding "Aye," after which the motion passed. Toward the end of the recorded segment the board voted to go into executive session on collective bargaining under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(2); the roll call recorded affirmative votes from members listed in the transcript and the motion passed.
No additional details about the nursing home employees (names, units, or the reason for the discretionary leaves) were provided in the recorded segments. The transcript records voice approval for the personnel motions but does not include a roll-call tally for those items. The stipend increase is explicitly noted as being funded by the ETSB and effective Dec. 1, 2025. The record shows motions and passed votes but does not specify further implementation steps or follow-up reports within the provided segment.
