County Hires Outside Counsel for Litigation; Limits Video/Security Access to Law Enforcement
Summary
The court approved hiring Ryan Henry PLLC as outside counsel for pending litigation and voted to restrict county video/security access to law enforcement only, effective May 12, 2026.
Kendall County's commissioners voted to engage the law offices of Ryan Henry PLLC as outside counsel to assist with pending litigation, including Kendall County LLC v. Kendall County and Waring Lane Investments LLC v. Kendall County. General counsel explained the previous outside counsel had left the firm and no one at that firm could continue the cases, prompting the new engagement. The motion passed 5–0.
Later in the meeting, following closed‑session discussion, the court voted to limit county video and security access to law enforcement only, effective immediately (05/12/2026). The judge moved the action and the court approved the change 5–0.
