County Board Meeting


The Peoria County Board will meet as a committee of the whole Thursday, September 12, 2013
at 5:00 PM in room 403 of the Peoria County Courthouse. This will be an update of Focus Forward Central Illinois. It is important that we hear this update so that we can develop an understanding of
this new Public/Private Committee which will not follow the open meeting laws. Any regional governance will diminish the the mandate of our elected bodies, and must be carefully studied. A key question is, “what is the limit of their authority?”

The Peoria County Board will meet in regular session at 6:00 PM in the same room. Agenda item number II is an update on the Peoria Regional High School. What is the meaning of “Regional High School”?

Agenda item number III is for citizen's remarks. If you desire to speak, fill out a card and submit it to the Chairman before the Board Meeting.

It is important that we attend these meetings to gain an understanding of the changes which are taking place.
