Peoria County Board Meeting

2/9/2023

 
The Peoria County Board held its regular meeting on February 9th with all members present.

Regular business included approving a short-term rental home in rural Hallock Township, and revisions to the county’s financial policies and the board’s Rules of Order.  Member Terry Ruhland was selected by the board as their representative during the construction of the Health and Human Services Campus. The board will also end their extensions to the Declaration of Emergency due to COVID-19 in May since both the federal and state governments will end the same on May 11.

Proclamations were read recognizing the 70th anniversary of WEEK-TV, the 75th anniversary of the JT Fennell Corporation in Chillicothe, and the 125th anniversary of the County Club of Peoria.

There were five citizen’s remarks:
  • Kate Pastucha, chair of the Springdale Historic Preservation Foundation, provided background on the cemetery and encouraged contributions to the foundation.
  • Tracy Fox, on behalf of the Sierra Club, spoke in opposition to the planned ADM/Wolf CO2 pipeline that would cross the county and include a branch into the City of Peoria.
  • Three individuals spoke regarding the short-term rental in Hallock Township.
 
Consent Agenda passed unanimously.  Among items approved/accepted:
  • An amendment to the Peoria Urban Enterprise Zone Intergovernmental Agreement,
  • Funding for a county-wide Broadband Needs Assessment and Feasibility study,
  • Police and dispatch services for Bellevue, Princeville, Elmwood and Medina Township,
  • A PCAPS grant for microchips, and
  • Road and bridge projects on Pfeiffer and Duncan Roads, and within Millbrook and Hollis Townships.
