Votes at a glance: DeKalb County and related boards approve multiple ordinances and budget items
The DeKalb County Board (and associated bodies recorded in the transcript) approved multiple ordinances and resolutions during the meeting. Several items on the agenda were adopted by roll call with little extended discussion. Below are the individual items recorded in the meeting transcript and the outcomes as announced:

- Resolution R2025-093: Authorizes creation of a temporary additional maintenance position for the DCRNC (DeKalb County Resource and Needs Center). The resolution was moved and seconded and adopted by roll call. Transcript includes questions about whether budget dollars above the approved budget would be spent; the presenter said the resolution did not request a specific budget appropriation. Outcome: approved (roll-call vote recorded).

- Resolution R2025-088: Resolution to purchase photographing and fingerprinting equipment for individuals issued a notice to appear under the safety act. Presented and moved; adopted by roll call. Outcome: approved.

- Ordinance O2025-20: Ordinance authorizing boundary modifications to the DeKalb County Illinois Enterprise Zone (amendment 5). Presented by staff (identified in the transcript as Sherin Ford) and adopted by roll call. Outcome: approved.

- Resolution R2025-090: Resolution placing the fiscal year 2026 budget on file for public inspection. Moved, seconded and adopted by roll call. Outcome: approved and the FY2026 budget placed on file for public inspection.

- Resolution R2025-091: Resolution approving payment of accounting claims for October 2025 and off-cycle claims, including specified travel, meal and lodging claims, in the amount of $6,550,794.69. Presented and adopted by roll call. Outcome: approved; the transcript records the dollar amount in the motion.

- FP2025-015: Forest Preserve resolution placing the FY2026 budget on file for public inspection. Outcome: approved (roll-call vote recorded in the Forest Preserve body portion of the transcript).

- FP2025-017: Forest Preserve resolution approving payment of forced reserved claims and off-cycle claims for October 2025, including a stated amount of $110,401,142.11. Outcome: approved (roll-call vote recorded).

Most of these items were acted on with brief remarks or none; the transcript shows the board routinely conducted roll-call votes and the chair announced "motion carries" after each. In a few cases members asked procedural or budget-related clarifying questions before the votes; those questions and the presenters' short answers are noted in the meeting record but did not result in amendments in the excerpt provided.
