Yvonne Barnes
At the Finance Committee meeting on Wednesday, McHenry County Board member Yvonne Barnes noted that Thursday’s Committee of the Whole meeting agenda packet “was blank.”
She said she had to wait until the County Board’s January 17th agenda was posted before she could find out what would be considered.
Barnes said when the Board agenda packet was published it included items that had not yet been approved by committees, including the committee on which she was sitting.
“That’s not transparency,” she said.
“People want time to contact staff and County Board members.
County Board Chairman Jack Franks is in charge of setting agendas.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Notice item 13.1 and the item is “not in the packet.”

Thanks, Yvonne.
Is there anyone else on the County Board that will, at least, make an attempt to look like they’re doing there job??
If there are any, please post.
Andrew?
I see all the resolutions slted for next week are crap.
Jack Franks is out of control.

Xout42’s URL returns an error.
The agenda packet at the URL under Andrew Gasser’s COW agenda is 1 page.
1 page is not an agenda packet, but an agenda.
The whole point of an agenda packet is supporting documentation for the agenda items.
Thank you, Cal.
I did what you suggested to someone(elsewhere) and I see that I used the wrong word above.
Please excuse my sleepy use of sited when I of course meant to say cited.
