Committees Fail To Agree On Union Matter

Two County Board Committees failed to agree on a labor contract for the McHenry County Animal Control workers during a joint meeting of the two on Monday. Approximately 12 employees are represented by the Service Employees International Local 73. Health and Human Services Committee members approved the contract 7-0 but the Human Resources Committee turned it down in a 3-4 vote. Discussion regarding the matter revealed that the SIEU declined to bring the contract back to the members for a vote. The Human Resources Committee was not persuaded toward approvals and also cast a 2-5 negative decision regarding a final contract for the Deputy Coroners, represented by the same union. The matters will be before the County Board Finance Committee Tuesday morning, at 9:30 am.

County Insurance Program Review
McHenry County Board Management Services Committee is expected to review a proposed Insurance Program for Fiscal Year 2011 when the committee meets beginning at 8:30 Tuesday morning.

New County Archive Facility
Also a budget line item transfer is to be authorized by the committee for the construction of a new County archive Facility. This will also be considered by the Finance and Audit Committee when it meets following Management Services Committee. Meeting begins at 9:30 am  

Added Disclosure Ordinance
Also continuing discussion by the Management Services Committee is slated for a proposed Draft Disclosure Ordinance Options. This has been proposed by the group ALAW and would be in addition to the required documents for candidates to complete.
