The April 30, 2014, meeting of the Tazewell County Board started with a moment of silence for Member Mel Stanford, who recently passed away. It saddens me to write of yet another Board Member's passing, but I am very hopeful our Board continues on in a way that would make Mel and Terry proud.
The meeting then shifted to various items of business, including:
1) the unanimous adoption of a proclamation recognizing the 7th Grade Boys' Basketball Team of Washington's Central School for an undefeated, state championship season;
2) the settlement of two workers' compensation cases; and
3) the setting of salaries for the offices of County Clerk, Treasurer, Sheriff, and Circuit Clerk.
The Board also heard from a concerned resident regarding its recent adoption of the International Building Code and its impact on area contractors in the unincorporated areas of the County.
A special meeting of the Board has been set for May 7, 2014 (6:00pm), at which time the Board may address the Building Code along with the creation of a Search Committee for a new County Administrator (upon the resignation of Michael Freilinger) and discussion on the Space Needs study completed by the Farnsworth Group.
My thanks again to Chairman Zimmerman and the Board for passing the proclamation for Central School:
