Motion by Schertz to pay the per diems, seconded by Durst, Motion passed. 

An explanation was given to the new board members regarding per diem. Each member can be paid $50 for each committee meeting they are assigned to that they attend, and $75 for each board meeting they attend. They can also collect per diem for any outside committee they are assigned to and attend. And they may receive mileage for attending those meetings. Those requests are brought to the committee for approval. It is up to the committee member if they choose to be paid the per diem and how often they wish to turn the claim in. The Treasurer pays the meeting per diems, and the County Clerk pays the mileage. All claims have to be turned in by the first Tuesday of the month in order to make that month's board meeting. It is helpful to turn the year's claims in by October to be paid in the correct fiscal year. As long as the pandemic is with us, members can be paid for attending by zoom also. However, this is only allowed during the pandemic. 

7. Unfinished Business 

8. New Business 

a. Set meeting schedule for upcoming year 

A proposed scheduled meeting calendar was presented. This committee has been meeting at 4:30, but the chairman is a prosecutor in Pekin and often is in court making it hard to get to the meeting at 4:30. He has discussed this with the Finance Committee chairman who meet right after County Offices, and they have agreed to switch times, if this committee agrees. During the budget process we may need to address the time schedule as the Finance meeting tend to go long at that time. The committee is in agreement that they will start meeting at 5:30. Motion to accept the proposed meeting schedule and change the meeting time to 5:30 was made by Schertz, and seconded by Durst. 

Motion passed
