1.75%. Illini Bank was awarded the bid; the money is still sitting
at Illini Bank. The County has not used any of the money. The line
of credit is good until November 30th.
Farm Land Property:
Mr. Ruben reported the first step is to decide as a committee if
we want to sell the property. If we do want to sell the property, we
should divide what has already been surveyed and that would be two
lots. The property needs to be rezoned before the board sold the
property.
Mr. Farmer is opposed to selling the farm land property.
A motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Davenport, to
proceed with the sale of the farm land.

Discussion held.
Mr. Ruben reported if the motion to sell the farm land passed
the full board, the board can go into executive session to
discuss a price for the land.
Mr. Rohlfs is not in favor of selling the land but he would like
to rezone the property anyway. If the board sells the land the
board would put a minimal price on the land and start the bid
and see where it goes. Motion failed.
Mr. Anderson asked if this motion dies at committee.
Mr. Ruben said it dies in committee but anyone can bring this motion
up Thursday night at the Workshop Session. Mr. Ruben reported he
will not bring this motion up Thursday night because his committee
voted it down but someone else can bring the motion up.
