8:30 a.m.—Management Services Committee
The demolition of the old Valley Hi Nursing Home building is to be discussed Monday morning when the McHenry County Board Management Services Committee meets at 8:30 a.m. The location of the meeting is the County Board Conference Room of the County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.
The building has not been used for a nursing home since a new facility was completed on County-owned property in the same area, Nelson and Hartland Roads, Woodstock. Valley Hi residents were moved into the new facility January 7, 2007. McHenry County residents passed a referendum in 2002 for the construction the facility. The County has owned the property for many years as the location of what was known in years past as the "poor farm". It was a place where older residents could reside when they could no longer farm their own land.
Since that time the old nursing home building has been used for a storage and archive facility. A new archive facility is now in use.
Also to be discussed by the Management Services Committee are revised County Board Rules which have been in the process of being updated. Some of the suggested changes include verbiage regarding the length of the County Board Chairman's term. It is suggested that the "The Chairman shall hold said position for a term of two years. It is recommended that the Chairman not serve more than three (3) consecutive terms." The latter sentence is suggested for additional verbiage to the Rules.
The same information is also suggested for addition for the term of the County Board Vice Chairman.
The proposed rules also set the time allotted for people wishing to address the Board on any question. Each presenter is to be provided not more than three minutes of the 30 minites alloted for public participation. The total time allotted for this participation may also be extended by Board action
