Another member of the McHenry County Mental Health Board is stepping down, three days after the County Board voted to oust its president.

Board Treasurer Sam Tenuto, a member since 2008, resigned effective Friday to take a management position with Pioneer Center for Human Services, the county’s largest social service agency. Staying on the board would constitute a conflict of interest because McHenry-based Pioneer Center receives Mental Health Board funding.

Tenuto said his decision is about a better opportunity and has nothing to do with growing criticism of the Mental Health Board’s budget
and spending or Tuesday’s ouster of former President Lee Ellis.
