County Executive Candidate Town Halls: More from the N-G
Darlene Kloeppel doesn't have any this week.
Gordy Hulten has one this week:RJTF City crossover: The Champaign City Human Relations Commission, which also may play a strong coordinated effort with County efforts to implement the Racial Justice Task Force recommendations is having their monthly meeting Monday, February 5th at 5:30pm in the City Council chambers (regularly the 1st Monday of the month at the same time/place).
— 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 5, Tolono Public Library, 111 E. Main, Tolono. Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2101906040041685/
Reminder: CU Indivisible's County Group is meeting February 10th, so members can look forward to an e-mail reminder and agenda earlier in the week.
County Calendar:
The first meat and potatoes meeting of the County Executive Transition Committee starts off the week. The first meeting mostly involved looking at the requirements, setting forth goals and setting a schedule going forward to transition to the County Executive form of government.
The Facilities and Environment & Land Use Committee meetings are both streamed live (link below) if you want to see what that's all about. You can also get a pretty good idea from their respective previous agenda packets that Facilities deals with maintaining the County's facilities throughout and the Environment & Land Use deals with environmental issues and how land is used within the County's jurisdiction. I'm interested in the "Update regarding Coal Ash in Floodplain of the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River" from the Environment & Land Use Committee because that sounded just awful. Seriously, toxic sludge oozing into the Vermilion River (from the Chicago Tribune):
Probably less exciting is the County Administrator Evaluation Committee which, from the previous agendas, you can see looks at the process and paperwork from forms to surveys for evaluating department heads and staff.
The week ends with an RFP Evaluation Review, which given the people present and the recent Nursing Home "request for proposal" opening bids to be solicited from potential buyers for selling the Nursing Home, it's a safe bet this will be about that process.
There's no Build Programs Not Jails meeting this week. They are on new schedule of every other Wednesday which currently lands on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the Month with the next meeting on February 14th.
You might hear about the statutory Early Voting date this week. More information about that and voting by mail here.
The 2018 schedule is up on the Calendar page and the County page. The regular County Board meetings are back to Thursdays until next holiday season.
If you're curious about learning more about how your county government works, it's easy enough to live stream a meeting or go in person: Attend a Meeting.
