Summary
The Governance, Health and Administration Committee held a public hearing on Section 5311 rural transit grants and reported Student Government Day for April 20 with 31 students and 4 teachers; County Clerk Karen Kinney reported 18% turnout in the primary election.
The Governance, Health and Administration Committee held a public hearing immediately before its meeting on the Section 5311 Non-Metro Operating Assistance and Downstate Operating Assistance grants for the county’s rural transportation program. Committee materials and the Committee of the Whole minutes record the public hearing but do not show a final vote on grant acceptance at the April 15 meeting.
The committee also recorded several routine reports: Regional Superintendent Tammy Muerhoff reminded members that Student Government Day would take place April 20 with 31 students and four teachers from Rockridge, Riverdale and Quad City Christian attending; County Clerk Karen Kinney certified Primary Election ballots and reported that 18% of registered voters cast ballots in the primary; and Kristin Bogdonas of the University of Illinois Extension distributed the April newsletter and previewed upcoming extension events.
