PREVAILING
WAGE AMENDMENT:
Mr. Ray Bockman,
County Administrator, informed the committee about the law that has changed on
the prevailing wage which stated that we must publish it. In the most recent review of that statute it has shown us
that the law has changed. First of
all he wanted to make it clear that it is available in the county clerk’s
office and on the Department of Labor (Illinois) website.
The question that came up is now that it’s available on the website are
we still publishing it? He asked
the State’s Attorney’s Office to review the law and apparently the law has
been changed. It used to say that
we shall publish it. It now would
allow us to publish it. Mr. Bockman pointed out that in the third page of the
ordinance that he passed out this evening, it shows a one paragraph legal notice
and that is what the Department of Labor is suggesting that we publish, not the
rates, but just the notice telling the public that the rates are on file in the
office. It is the opinion of
counsel that we are not required to do even this.
The reason that he is here this evening is to ask the committee if they
want to publish this notice? Moved
by Ms. Leifheit, seconded by Mr. Hutcheson, and it was carried unanimously to
recommend that we save the tax money and do not publish this ordinance, but to
forward the prevailing wage ordinance onto the full board for approval.
Mr.
Ray Bockman, County Administrator, reviewed the Board Agenda for the May 20,
2001 meeting. Moved by Mr. Wilson,
seconded by Ms. Leifheit, and it was carried unanimously to accept the county
board agenda as presented by Mr. Bockman.
Mr.
Morreale mentioned to the committee about Genoa School District Easement
Agreement that will be coming from the Forest Preserve Committee, which allows a
little part of our road to be used by the school. It would give them total control of the road in the sense
that we would own it, but they would maintain everything. This resolution will be on the tables. Mr. Hutcheson requested that any designated “strike” gate
during the school’s construction not be at the access point to the Forest
Preserve.
Moved
by Mr. Steimel, seconded by Mr. Wilson, and it was voted unanimously to adjourn
the meeting.
Respectfully
submitted,
