The Grundy County Nursing Home District Board of Directors met on Tuesday night, hearing proposals for food service and agreeing to place a tax levy increase on the April 4 ballot.
According to Sunnyview Nursing Home and Apartments Administrator Donita Youtsey, the board agreed to ask voters in the nursing home district to once again consider a 15-cent increase in the district levy to provide additional funding for facility improvements, including equipment purchases. If approved, the levy would increase to 30 cents on the $100 assessed valuation. This will be the third try for the ballot issue, which was defeated in November.
The board heard proposals and bids from food service suppliers but made no decision. The board also discussed and approved an updated policy regarding rest breaks.
It was reported that two incumbents on the board, Don Altes and Barb Cox, have re-filed for the two three-year positions to be decided in the April election. Because the number of persons filing equals the number of vacancies, the district will not have a board election.
An executive session was held for approval of the Dec. 22 closed meeting minutes.
The next board meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at the nursing home.
