The LaSalle County Finance Committee approved using this year's public-safety budget to pay for windshield access tags for the gated facility used by sheriff's office personnel.

A staff member explained the tags are access stickers for vehicles that need to get through the gate and said 25 tags cost about $230. Committee members discussed which public-safety line would cover the purchase and whether a recurring allocation should be placed in next year's budget for tag replacements. The chair and members confirmed there is a miscellaneous line under public safety that can cover the expense.

A motion to pay for the U-Pass windshield tags out of public-safety in this year's budget was made, seconded by Ms. Nikki, and approved by voice vote. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript for this motion.
