The LaSalle County Board voted to reappoint the county's human resources director following a short procedural discussion about the chairman's voting rights. The board recorded a roll-call vote and then moved to adjourn.

The reappointment was put on the floor when a board member asked, "Concerning the resolution, may I have a motion to reappoint the human resource director?" The motion was made by board member Miss Bridal and seconded (second not specified in the transcript). After a brief exchange about whether the chairman may cast a vote absent a tie, the board held a roll-call vote and the motion was declared carried.

The procedural question arose when a board member read from the board's rule book (page 11, section 2) and asked whether the chairman may vote when an item is not a tie. Board members discussed the provision and confirmed that the chairman did participate in voting in this meeting.

The roll-call sequence as recorded in the meeting transcript included individual aye and nay responses and concluded with the chair declaring the motion carried. Recorded votes named in the transcript included board members who were recorded as voting "aye" (Miss Bright and Mister Gadsa) and others recorded as voting "nay" (Miss Bridal, Mister Osipinski and Mister Walsh); the chair then announced the motion carried. The transcript does not unambiguously record every individual vote count for all members by name, and the precise numerical tally beyond the chair's announcement is not specified elsewhere in the record.

Earlier in the meeting the board had voted to come out of an executive session by voice and roll-call procedures, and after the reappointment vote the board made and approved a motion to adjourn.
