Chairman Anderson asked who is needed for the Community Services Administrative Board
Ms. Supple, DeKalb County Coordinator, said that Ms. Moulton is seeking a representative from the Hispanic population to fill this position.
Ms. Turner suggested contacting St. Mary’s in Sycamore who has a large Hispanic population that comes to service there every week. There are people in this group that would like to get involved in the community and it would be a good place to start, she said.
Mr. Andersen said that we are still short one county board person for the Rehab and Nursing Home Operating Board and one citizen at large. These same people are appointed to the Supportive Living Center also. .
RESOLUTION #R2010-64: CANCELLATION OF THE JANUARY 2011 COUNTY BOARD MEETING Mr. Bockman, explained that during the budget process and the adoption of the FY2011 Budget, the county board decided to cut costs by canceling 2 County Board meetings and 2 meetings each of the standing committees. He polled all of the department heads and asked if they could do without the January 2011 County Board Meeting. The feedback that he received from the department heads is that they could do without the meeting in January. Now it is up to this committee to decide. He said that he feels that this committee can do it if you get 2/3rds of the vote because he believes the board is suspending your own rules.
Chairman Anderson asked to have a motion so that the committee could discuss this issue.
It was moved by Ms. Vary, seconded by Mr. Newport, to forward this resolution to the full board for approval.
Discussion continued by Mr. Anderson stating that he is not in favor of cancelling any meetings. He said that he is going to ask the Highway Committee to hold their meeting in January because of an issue on Freed Road. He is okay about the committee hearing what people have to say about this intersection and he wants to get feedback from the people.
Ms. Vary said that she feels that there are times where we hold county board meetings and the meeting is only 10 minutes long.
The committee decided to table this item until the end of this meeting.
APPROVAL OF THE COUNTY BOARD AGENDA Mr. Ray Bockman, County Administrator, reviewed the County Board Agenda for the Board Meeting to be held on December 15, 2010.
Mr. Ken Andersen mentioned that the Planning and Zoning Committee may be sending an item to the Board tomorrow night for the December County Board meeting.
The committee agreed to place the Planning and Zoning item, which is for the Hardt Special Use Permit Request for a dog kennel, on the county board agenda. If the Planning and Zoning Committee does not forward it to the full board at their meeting on December 8, 2010, then it can be removed from the county board agenda.
Moved by Mr. Stoddard, seconded by Ms. Tobias, and it was carried unanimously to approve the County Board Agenda and to forward it to the full board for approval.
GENERAL DISCUSSION Mr. Tobias, Vice-Chairman of the County Board said that she had nothing to share tonight.
Ms. Allen, Chairman of the Law and Justice Committee, said that the Coroner/EDSA Department received a $25,000 federal grant for Emergency Planning. She also mentioned that she is cancelling the Committee meeting for December 2010.
