Cook County Board passes Sept. 30 disaster proclamation extension, property tax late fee waiver – Chicago Tribune

Commissioners voted 15-2 to extend the disaster proclamation, which allows Preckwinkle to issue executive orders, move money around, procure essential supplies such as personal protective equipment and make other decisions without the board’s direct approval. Part of the disaster resolution also includes allowing county Budget Director Annette Guzman to approve budgetary transfer requests greater than $50,000.
