Discussion of the Approval of Ordinance Setting Animal Control Fees –
Member Cesich informed the committee of the reason for increasing the fees by approximately twenty percent, allowing for the budgeting of mandatory minimum wage increases in the next few years, appropriate and healthy care of animals temporarily housed at the facility, and to replenish the depleting capital funds due to facility improvements, and updated software for substantial facility operation.

Discussion of the Approval of Board Rules of Order-Consent Agenda –
Member Prochaska informed the group about a change that was made in the Illinois Statutes a few years ago that allows County Boards to enact a Consent Agenda to expedite the handling of ministerial, routine, or non- controversial items. The County Board Chair, County Administrator, or a standing committee of the County Board may place items on the Consent Agenda.
