Public Service 101

We're Hiring!

Public bodies are able to gather for open and closed meetings to do the business of the people they serve. These meetings are required to follow Open Meetings Act, OMA rules. Every member is required to take OMA training each year of their term and provide a completion certificate to the records department, County Clerk.

When situations arise, there are specific rules to follow to ensure the Integrity of the offices are not compromised. Hiring and termination are especially pertinent at present since the county is faced with several vacant positions.

Closed session is allowed for hiring, termination, reprimand or discipline to provide privacy for members involved in the matter. This closed session could include the full board members or committee members. Attorney General William Scott of 1973 gave an opinion that clearly states this allowance. His last paragraph is clear.

We are proud of our Republican members to consider their oath and Respect the laws surrounding their service! Open meetings are called to do the business of the county. When the full board or a committee must convene in closed session, it must follow several steps. Members of the full board are allowed to enter into any committees closed session as the topic would ultimately relate to the full board and does not hinder the function or privacy of the closed session, per Attorney General Scott's opinion given in 1973. They need not ask or be invited into a closed session of any county committee.

We are Thankful for our diligent Republican board members who attend meetings to be informed and educated with facts across the county as Servant Leaders!

Did you notice our Core Values? Respect, Integrity and Servant Leadership are priorities to our party's candidates and Officials!

Official Wind Moratorium Statement 2.3.21

Shelby County Board members issue joint statement on a proposed wind farm in Shelby County

Shelbyville, IL – Shelby County Board Chairman Bobby Orman (District 7) along with County Board members Bryon Coffman (District 1), Rod Hite (District 1), Mark Bennett (District 2), and Derek Pearcy (District 2) are issuing the following statement on a proposed wind farm in the northwest part of Shelby County.

“On January 14^th, the Shelby County Board approved an ordinance creating a moratorium on wind farms in Shelby County. It is the goal of the Board to approve a comprehensive ordinance that will provide the proper permitting process for future wind farms in the county. It is our intention to enact a comprehensive ordinance that takes into account the rights of property owners wishing to install a wind farm, the concerns of people who own property adjacent to a proposed wind farm, the noise concerns associated with wind farms and the impact on wildlife. We started this process last year but tabled the issue due to the COVID-19 pandemic. An issue of this magnitude and importance deserves to have in-person hearings, which currently is not possible with COVID-19 restrictions. For the time being there will not be any new wind farms approved in Shelby County until we have a permanent ordinance in place and that will happen once we are ably to safely accommodate public hearings.”
