The Iroquois County Public Health Department Board of Health Finance Committee voted March 4 to approve its listing of claims for February 2026, including line items for sound machines and security cameras.
During review of the claims, committee member Lyle Behrends asked about a purchase described as sound machines. ICPHD Administrator Robin Allen said the devices were intended to "add an extra layer of privacy for patients and staff." The committee also discussed a separate claim for installation of security cameras and other security improvements, including consideration of digital key systems.
Behrends moved to approve the February claims as submitted; LuAnn Armantrout seconded. The motion carried on a roll call vote: Aye — Dr. Philip Zumwalt, Lyle Behrends and LuAnn Armantrout.
The purchases discussed were presented as part of the routine claims packet; the committee did not direct further study or defer the items. No public comments were offered during the meeting.
