Kendall County Commissioners tackled several items needed since a new county judge and two new commissioners have taken office Jan. 1.
The court authorized Pct. 2 Commissioner Gene Miertschin to confer with the Kendall County Advisory Board members to see who their members are, what additional members are needed, what projects they are working on and what their general status is. Commissioners will then appoint members to the advisory board, depending on the committee's needs.

He was concerned about the message sent to voters by having un-elected official involved and by not having all the commissioners involved in the signing.
