Summary
Tracy of LaSalle County Central Services reported March operational totals (microfilm, scanning, postage) and said new mail machines are now in place; the committee accepted the report by voice vote.
The LaSalle County IT and Central Services Committee met April 2, 2026. Tracy of Central Services reported March activity and a small net savings in operations.
"March figures for Central Services: microfilm documents, 56,688; processed feet, 1,980; scanned images, 53,709," Tracy said, listing equipment usage and monthly billing totals. She reported reimbursements to the general fund of $3,524.66 and several postage figures, and said the combined savings for the period totaled $1,323.63.
Tracy also told the committee that new mail machines have been installed. She described setting up new meter numbers and a mailer ID for certified-mail receipts, and said staff expect certified-mail materials to start returning within a week. "It's got a nice big screen, and everybody's happy," Tracy said of the new equipment.
The new machines will replace the older leased units; Tracy said recent quarterly lease bills shown to the committee still included charges for the old machine but future bills will reflect the new units.
The committee moved to accept the Central Services report (moved by Brian Dose; seconded by James Reid) and approved it on a voice vote.
No executive session was requested and there were no citizen comments for the meeting.
Looking ahead, the report indicates staff will monitor certified-mail receipts and lease-billing changes as the new mail machines complete their initial setup.
