The Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee of the McHenry County Board is meeting Thursday morning at 8:30 a.m. in the Government Administration Building Conference rooms.
In addition to considering the committee meeting schedule for 2011, a discussion is slated for the committee's responsibilities.
Included for consideration is a review of the Fiscal Year 2012 Federal Legislative Program which includes such items as seeking additional federal funding for further study of groundwater and stormwater issues.
Highway matters such as East McHenry Bypass from Illinois Route 31 to Richmond-Waukegan Corridor; added capacity for Randall Road from Ackman Road to County Line Road by adding through lanes in each direction; funding for the Sheriff's Office to manage activities associated with pubic safety and criminal justice by expansion of the scope to what the Sheriff's Office is now able to do in such areas as warrant service and management, ability to electronically file search warrants and criminal complaints as well as share data across departments in "real time".
Also to be considered is a request to provide the county's workforce with career ladder and increase degree attainment by expanding the capacity of the infrastructure at McHenry County College.
As with all County Board Committees, any action taken is a recommendation for final approval by the full County Board.
