No Health Department update as they were not present. Lindstrom reported that they finalized the I Plan. It was also mentioned that a lot of the vaccines have been wasted as they don’t have enough people to use them. When they are opened, they must have so many people and if they don’t have enough people there, they are disposed of. The local pharmacies have the vaccines also.
County Engineer Pat Sloan gave an update on Zoning. They did not have a ZBA meeting in June. A list of the building permits was given to each member. They are working on enforcements with zoning. They are working with State’s Attorney Pat Murphy on the language.
County Engineer Pat Sloan gave an update on Highway. Work has begun on the parking lot, and they will be doing some more work next Friday. He also mentioned that they are working with Kennell Electric and Ameren to remove the electricity pole that is in the parking lot and talking about boring it under ground. He also stated that he had two employees out with COVID. They are working on a lot of construction in Putnam County and the intern is helping with it. Toluca Road will be closed next week due to pavement and painting. He stated that the windfarm will be paying for that job. He also stated that he has sent out a County Engineer transition plan as he is planning to retire in 2023. The last few engineers abruptly resigned and that is not good not having a plan in place for the next person to come in.
