Board Meeting of February 25, 2015

The Tazewell County Board held its regular February meeting last Wednesday.  Among other matters, the Board:

1) approved the appointment of Gary Sciortino to the Board to fill the unexpired term from District 1;

2) approved intergovernmental agreements with numerous municipalities throughout the county to upgrade digital orthophotography for GIS (geographic information system) mapping;

3) approved the purchase of a tandem axle truck for the Tazewell County Highway Department; and

4) authorized a budget line transfer request to fund a storm warning siren previously approved by the County Board.

In other news, I was proud to accept the appointment of Chairman Zimmerman to chair an ad hoc committee to review the Board's rules of procedures and the Tazewell County Code. The goal of this "Recodification" committee is to further modernize, streamline, and/or eliminate any unintentional inconsistencies that may have developed over the years.  This goal does not include any substantial, substantive changes to the Code, which is best left for our standing committees.

Once we set a regular meeting date and have a final list of names of committee members, I will post them to this site for your information.
