County saving money with fewer meetings






news@ottawaradio.net

Ottawa -- Paying LaSalle County Board members for going to meetings from December 2008 to February 2009 cost $29,872.80. During the same three months a year later, the cost is $22,472.20. Auditor Jody Wilkinson says cutting the number of committees from 22 to 17 is why.
         
     With fewer committees, there are fewer meetings. That means County Board members claim less mileage and per diem for going to meetings.
Wilkinson says even more could be saved.
