Board approves emergency appropriation for Animal Services after hoarding response
Summary
The McLean County Board approved an emergency appropriation for Animal Services, backed by a private trust grant tied to a recent large hoarding response that delivered about 100 cats and kittens to the shelter.
The McLean County Board approved an emergency appropriation ordinance amending the county’s FY2026 combined appropriation and budget for Animal Services, a motion that requires a 0.667 vote under state statute.
The Chair thanked the Jane L. and David Eric Minson CritterCare Perpetual Charitable Trust for a grant that will assist the county after a recent hoarding response. “In the last month, 6 weeks, they've had a 100 cats and kittens delivered to animal services for care, and for getting them ready for adoption,” the Chair said, noting the grant will help cover care and adoption-readiness costs.
The motion passed by voice vote. County staff did not provide an exact appropriation amount during the discussion; the grant source and the shelter intake figures were the substantive items noted on the record.
