Government In Action - Friday

8:15 a.m.—Public Health and Human Services Committee of McHenry County Board

Meeting in County Board Conference Room, McHenry County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The Committee is to make an appointment to the Senior Services Grant Commission, before the members consider a approving a resolution accepting a $100,000 Grant from the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services. This is for the Dental Clinic's FY 2011 Budget.

This grant is to improve the capacity of Dental Clinic Dental Service efficiencies through the installation of digital x-ray equipment, software, staff training, and equipment upgrades. It is payable over a two-year period with $70,000 payable upon execution of the agreement and $30,000 to be paid the second year following Department submittal and acceptance of required reports.

The Committee is also to consider the reclassification of the Director of the Workforce Investment Board Position. Last year at this time the position was reclassified to a part-time position and it is now about to be vacated. The position is a requirement for the County's participation in the Workforce Investment Act One-Stop System, youth activates, and employment and training activities under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act.

The Committee, if approving the change, is to direct the Human Resources Director to reclassify the position to a full-time position.

As with all committee actions, they are not final until the County Board has acted on them.
