Bond County board tables request to hire contractor for zoning notices
Summary
Zoning Administrator Brad Criner requested permission to hire a contractor to publish Zoning Board notices and mail adjoining-owner letters for $100 per meeting; on legal advice the board voted to table the request pending State's Attorney review.
Zoning Administrator Brad Criner asked the Bond County Board on Nov. 6 to approve hiring an outside individual on a contract basis to publish Zoning Board public notices and send letters to adjoining landowners for a fee of $100 per meeting. The request drew questions about procurement and local preference for service providers.
State's Attorney Dora Mann advised the Board to review the applicable statute before setting any hiring or residency requirement. On that advice the Board tabled the proposal, with a motion by Wes Pourchot and second by Jacob Rayl; the motion passed on a 5-0 roll call vote. The tabling means the Board will revisit the request after the State's Attorney provides guidance on whether the county may require or prioritize a local resident for the role.
