Cook County schedules Sept. 14 work session as levy deadline approaches

Cook County Board of Commissioners (Committee of the Whole) · August 19, 2026

Summary

Chair set a budget work session for Sept. 14 to discuss mandated services, core partners and non‑mandated items ahead of the preliminary levy on Sept. 29; commissioners were urged to prioritize ahead of that meeting.

Chair closed the Committee of the Whole session by confirming a September 14 work session to focus on mandated versus non‑mandated services and other budget priorities ahead of the county's preliminary levy-setting date. "We have a work session coming up on September 14... Because we're setting the preliminary levy on September 29," the chair said, urging members to prepare for that meeting.

Commissioners acknowledged the timetable and discussed possible follow-up meetings if additional preparation is needed before the levy. The chair also noted a scheduling conflict later in September related to an out‑of‑county engagement and asked staff to coordinate dates as needed.
