Mr.
africana.
D
A
A
E
Gonna
keep
this
short.
Shuttle
lasts
more
than
half
an
hour,
so
I
thought
I'd
get
a
little
laugh.
I
handed
out
flyer
I've
tried
to
get
everybody
one,
which
is
explains
the
the
program
that
we're
doing
for
taxes.
I
will
say
that
it's
it's
been
pretty
busy.
A
fair
amount
of
people
have
signed
up.
I
still
think
we're.
You
know,
people
are
learning
about
it
and
we'll
sign
up
I'm
looking
for
about
a
thousand
people.
So
if
that
would
be
a
great
goal
this
time
around
I
don't
have
anything
other
than
that
I
did
mention.
E
I
did
speak
with
mr.
Kinzinger
before
the
meeting
about
some
changes
to
report
which
I
to
the
my
report
to
the
Finance
Committee,
which
I
think
would
make
it
better
and
I'll
talk
with
Andy
and
Steve
McCarty
about
that
and
see
if
we
can't
make
those
changes
other
than
that,
I
would
entertain
any
questions
and
that's
all
I
have.
A
F
F
A
F
F
Cash
flow
report
gonna
look
a
little
different
this
month,
we
were
gonna,
have
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
here.
Talking
about
the
federal
government
shutdown-
and
it
might
be
surprise
is
why
why
are
we
gonna
be
talking
about
it?
A
few
weeks
ago,
we
found
out
that
our
federal
marshal
and
DHS
programs
federal
programs
are
involved
in
the
shutdown
and
what
that
means
for
us
right
now,
anyway,
is
our
receivables
for
the
monthly
billing
are
not
being
processed
at
the
federal
level.
F
F
We
have
all
of
November,
except
for
DHS,
which
is
about
$400,000,
so
we
have
one
item
from
left
over
from
November
that
did
not
get
processed
before,
apparently
before
the
shutdown
in
December
and
the
holidays.
So
through
January
have
you
looked
at
the
line
of
credit
line.
November
through
January
were
going
to
be
about
2.4
million.
A
F
F
Point
you
know
the
state
continues
to
process.
You
know
all
of
the
other
things.
Besides
the
other
any
grant
going
through
the
state
continues
the
process.
So
what
can
you
do?
Watch
you
know
that,
hopefully,
that
nothing
gets
affected
there.
The
federal
work
force
funds
are
flowing,
those
Southers,
it's
kind
of
hit
or
miss
it's
it's.
It's
quite
interesting
and
trying
to
figure
all
this
out
at
what's
flowing
in
that
flowing,
but
so.
F
F
Basically,
four
to
four
and
a
half
million
dollars.
If
you
know
it
runs,
you
know
if
we
have
to
go
through
March
or
April
into
this.
You
know
with
the
amount
of
billing
and
and
such
so
through
the
conversations
a
lot
of
great
conversations
with
local
banks,
specifically
for
of
which
we're
still
working
on
this
is
work
in
progress.
It
does
take
time
for
the
banks
to
go
through
their
process,
supply
them
with
information.
Let
you
know
that
what
was
better
received
are
talking
to
bond
council
on
all
this.
F
Like
you
know,
okay,
you
know
what
everybody's
going
to
be
structured.
What
are
we
gonna
call
them
what
you
know
the
backup
of
it,
the
collateral,
because
they're
a
federal
building.
You
know
they
have
revenue,
anticipation
warrants
out
there,
but
our
tax
anticipation
warrants
were
better
received
and
the
revenue
anticipation
warrant,
so
our
proper
backing
of
our
property
tax
cycle
I
thought
that
was
very
interesting
note
in
that
communication
that
there's
still
a
little
bit
of
uneasiness
out
there.
F
You
know,
even
when
you're
talking
about
the
federal
government,
so
so
this
is
an
expansion
of
our
tax
anticipation
warrant.
Again,
talking
to
bond
counsel,
we
looked
at
expanding
the
corporate
and
the
tort
levy
amount
and
to
maximize
the
amount
and
to
also
do
this
and
open
this
up
so
that
the
board
does
this,
hopefully
just
one
time
and
a
vote,
and
you
know
opens
the
window
up
enough
that
we
can
work
within
that
and
only
take
what
we
need
and
pay
it
off.
F
G
G
F
D
D
D
What
this
does
is
it
emphasizes
that
we
were
by
far
not
out
of
the
hole
and
until
you
have
five
six,
eight
million
dollars
in
the
bank
you're,
always
borrowing
against
next
year's
tax
revenue,
you're,
always
interfering
until
a
surplus
is
only
a
surplus
once
you
can
get
through
the
tax
cycle
season.
So
this
hit
us
right
as
we
became
cash
poor
even
more
so
we
were
still
in
a
deficit
situation,
not
even
with
a
surplus,
so
this
could
have
happened
at
a
worse
time.
D
For
us,
even
with
a
great
position
we
were
in,
our
payables
are
now
expanding.
But
if
we
don't
wait
for
this
to
that's,
why
I
asked
Steve,
we
got
to
run
the
numbers.
What
does
this
mean
for
us?
Can
we,
when
do
we
not
meet
payroll
based
on
our
really
only
revenue
model
outside
of
property
taxes?
Is
this
program
or
these
programs,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
that's
clear
I
mean
if
we
send
everybody
home
right
now
we
still
got
60
days
of
expenses
and
that
that
would
be
devastating
to
us.
G
In
a
deal
like
this,
you
always
have
to
look
at
the
exit
strategy.
We're
set
through
April.
All
of
us
in
this
room
think
that
that
shutdown
will
be
stopped.
However,
when
I
hear
Steve
mentioned
that
the
bonding
company
would
rather
look
at
our
tax
anticipation
warrants
than
this
other
item,
they
must
have
some
kind
of
exit
strategy.
I
just
encourage
everybody
to
think
about
an
exit
strategy.
I.
A
Think
that's
a
good
point.
There
has
already
been
some
discussion
in
terms
of
even
a
worst-case
scenario,
but
at
this
point
as
I
understand
the
recommendation
from
the
finance
department,
this
would
be
what
they
think
would
be
the
wisest
thing
to
do
and
we
can
revisit
or
a
later
time,
if
necessary.
Mr.
D
G
D
F
I
did
run
a
model
all
the
way
out.
That
said,
okay,
what
if
this
is
eight
to
ten?
You
know
you
could
scenario
this
forever,
but
you
no
longer
out
it
and
the
property
taxes
will
carry
us
as
well.
You
know,
so
you
know
if
that
worst-case
scenario
then
they'll
have
to
be
additional
conversation
for
sure
going
on.
You
know
if
it
gets
into
eight
to
ten
month
category.
This
is
a
four
to
six
month.
You
know.
F
F
F
We
would
be
opening
the
tax
anticipation
warrants
up
for
would
be
seven
million
two
hundred
eighty
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
dollars.
So
that's
to
allow
for
this
additional
line
of
credit.
As
the
information
becomes
available
we
do
know
so.
I
left
it
in
the
original
mount
that
we
talked
about
you
know
last
month,
and
it's
still,
you
know
good
to
go
that
you
know
the
the
split
between
People's
Bank
and
homestar
Bank
for
the
original
GW
of
2.5
million,
so
that
still
will
happen
and
continue
and
flow.
F
The
same
way,
the
additional
line
of
credit,
the
four
million
seven
hundred
eighty
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
will
be
looked
at
as
a
short-term
line
of
credit
and
used
as
needed
and
and
then
paid
back
immediately
once
the
federal
funds
can
start
flowing
again.
So
that's
how
this
will
break
down
right
now.
The
interest
rate
we're
dealing
with
you
know
that
we're
that
we
know
about
with
Homestar
people's.
F
It's
three
point:
five
percent
will
see
if
there
was
other
interest
rates
that
come
into
play
with
the
additional
amount
or
not,
and
then
we're
looking
at
still
looking
at
an
estimated
closing
date
around
February
twentieth
or
so
so,
if,
if
this
goes
long-term,
all
of
it,
everything
would
fall
underneath
the
repayment
term,
forty
five
percent
and
doing
early
July
and
fifty
five
percent,
the
remaining
due
at
the
end
of
September,
which
follows
the
property
tax
cycle.
However,
you
know
that
would
be
worst
case
scenario.
F
The
federal
payments
that
will
flow
as
far
as
a
two
point:
five
million
again
will
pay
down
the
other
as
soon
as
we
can
if
we
end
up
taking
it.
So
so
that's
what
we
know
right
now,
I
was
hoping
and
we
tried
to
get.
You
know
as
much
information
to
you
today
as
we
could.
But
you
know
this
takes
time
as
we're
working
with
some
large
dollar
amounts
with
the
banks,
but
there's
been
very
good.
C
F
C
F
F
C
F
A
A
B
A
F
So
this
is
related
to
the
annual
audit.
This
information
goes
into
the
you
know,
allotted
I'll,
be
required
to
do
a
study
of
this
sort
every
two
years,
and
this
is
for
post
employment
benefits
estimates
that
go
into
the
annual
audit,
so
this
actuarial
gives
us
future
estimates
of
spent.
You
know
the
valuation
of
of
any
post
employment
benefits,
we
don't
have
a
lot
as
a
county,
but
there
are
some
out
there,
and
so
this
is
a
required
item.
F
So
for
review
and
chairman
wheeler
want
everybody
to
see
this
before
we
engage
them.
We
did
do
it
a
bit
for
services
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
our
consultant
came
in
it's
the
lowest.
This
one
is
a
couple
hundred
dollars
higher.
There's
a
few
changes.
It's
going
from
Calgary
45
to
Gatsby
seventy
five
additional
few
different
things.
So
there's
a
two
hundred
dollar
fee,
but
there's
also,
if
we
decide
to
choose
it
an
offer
out
there
for
the
fiscal
year,
2020
evaluation
as
well
to
be
the
same
amount.
F
G
A
D
F
A
B
F
F
A
B
A
A
J
We
still
no
end
in
sight.
For
those
of
you
that
may
recall
we
did
have
a
government
shutdown
back
in
2013.
It
didn't
last
near
as
long,
but
we
have
gone
through
this
before
we
do
not
have
the
interest
rate
as
to
what
they
pay
when
they
are
late,
we
could
call
up
there,
but
there's
nobody
up
there
to
answer
the
phone.
So
we
cannot
get
the
interest
rate,
but
as
as
Steve
mentioned,
they
do
pay
interest
and
let's
hope
that
something
happens
in
the
very
near
future.
J
And
a
lot
of
this
talk
that
we've
heard
already
can
can
go
away.
So
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
brought
up
at
the
criminal-justice
meeting
was
the
number
of
people
that
are
getting
released
from
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections
back
to
our
community
and
in
December.
That
number
was
91
and
for
those
wondering
about
recidivism
and
the
national
average
of
recidivism
is
that
68%
of
those
released
will
recommit
an
offense
and
birria
rested
within
three
years.
J
J
J
Obviously,
those
that
get
released
do
have
access
to
parole
officers
and
other
programs,
and
we
at
the
Sheriff's
Office
also
participate
in
some
reentry
stuff,
for
those
that
require
or
need
are
in
need
of
some
services.
So
there
are
services
out
there.
Sometimes
those
services
work,
and
sometimes
they
don't
so.
J
Questions
on
that,
as
you
saw
by
Steve's
report,
are
number
in
Jena
and
December.
Rather,
our
housing
number
increased
by
a
hundred
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
for
December
2018
compared
to
2017
our
projected
number
in
January.
So
far.
If
we
ever
get
paid
we'll
be
one
hundred
and
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
better
than
January
of
last
year,
so
going
into
February
will
be
approximately
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
good,
based
on
the
number
that
we
brought
in
last
year
and
as
I
try
to
constantly
remind
everybody
at
some
point.
J
Those
numbers
will
level
off
and
if
you
look
at
pretty
much
march
through
the
end
of
the
year,
those
numbers
are
fairly
high
and
I
can't
see
us
going
much
higher
than
that.
Because,
quite
simply,
we
don't
have
any
beds.
So
just
kind
of
keep
that
in
mind
when
you,
when
you're
looking
at
the
numbers
that
that
we
have
this
increase
in
the
first
two
months
of
the
year,
is
not
going
to
continue
so
just
kind
of
keep
that
in
mind.
Questions
on
that
and
lastly,
the
second
thing
on
our
agenda
is,
if.
A
J
Last
year
we
anticipated
that
we
would
bring
in
eight
point,
seven
I
believe
and
this
year
I
think
we're
going
to
paid
in
10.
So
yeah
I
mean
we
have
not.
We
have
not
done
what
we
have
done
in
the
past,
a
while
back
where,
because
we
brought
in
10
money
an
issuer
automatically
to
bring
in
11
million
next
year,
and
then
11
million
and
12
million
and
so
on.
So
fortunately,
we've
we've
wizened
up
to
that
fact
that
we
only
have
so
many
beds
and
so
yeah
we
did
signature.
C
J
J
J
A
I
A
I
K
Good
morning,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
committee
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
items
that
we
have
for
recommendations.
One
is
that
the
rape
for
business
travel
reimbursements
has
gone
up.
We've
already
seen.
Some
claims
come
through
that
were
calculated
at
the
point,
five
four
or
five,
and
so
it's
a
obvious
recommendation
that
that
we
use
the
higher
rate
just
so
that
people
be
aware
of
that.
K
We
do
send
those
claims
back
with
notes
as
to
what
the
correct
amount
is
on
or
before,
or
excuse
me
on
or
after
the
first
of
January
of
2019.
And
so
that's
a
that's
an
item
of
interest.
We
did
have
conversations
with
a
company
called
as
of
our
and
they've
been
in
business
about
22
years
and
what
their
expertise
is.
As
of
our
government.
K
Solutions
is
to
analyzed
utility
bills,
cable
bills,
things
like
that,
because
governmental
entities
tend
to
overpay
things
based
on
the
fact
that
the
addresses
that
the
franchise
fees
are
associated
with
are
often
not
in
the
correct
counties
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
it's
very
detailed,
very
involved
they've
created
technology
and
software
solutions
that
will
use
our
data
to
analyze
this
and
come
up
with
what
they're
going
to
go
after
these
utility
companies
and
so
forth
to
get
reimbursed
for
things
that
we
spent
money
on
that
wasn't
ours
to
spend.
K
For
example,
it
may
have
been
associated
with
Will,
County
or
Iroquois,
or
what
have
you
so,
after
speaking
with
them
and
being
walked
through
the
cable
franchise
or
Revenue
fees
and
the
utility
fees
etc,
and
we
spoke
to
several
municipalities
and
counties
to
kind
of
get
their
experience
and
they
come
well
recommended
with
that
program.
They're,
a
member
of
the
Illinois
government,
finance,
Officers
Association,
and
this
contingency
audit
would
be
structured
and
like
with
anything
you
go
in
with
your
eyes
wide
open.
You
read
the
contract
carefully.
K
There
was
a
municipality
that
did
not
do
so
and
there
were
things
in
the
contract
that
they
signed.
That
became
a
disagreement
later
on,
so
I
obviously
recommend
that
we
read
the
contract
carefully.
We
send
it
through
the
sieve,
dev
of
the
SAO,
to
ensure
that
there's
nothing
that
would
be
put
in
there.
That
we
don't
want
to
be
responsible
for
and
basically
what
happens,
is
whatever
revenue
they're
able
to
identify
and
go
after
these
companies
for
collecting
they
take
a
percentage
of
that
revenue
and
that's
their
business
model.
K
So
to
say
their
rate
is
45%,
but
we
know
that
all
things
are
negotiable,
and
so
you
know
if
they
don't
find
anything,
they
don't
charge.
Anything.
That's
why
it's
a
contingency
audit,
so
this
is
this
is
potential
revenue
that
that
we
won't
see
because
we
don't
have
the
capacity
and
frankly,
as
far
as
we
can
tell
the
expertise
to
do
what
they've
been
doing
for
over
two
decades.
So
that's
our
recommendation
and
you
know
it
would
it
would
require.
K
Logistically,
though,
some
coordination
from
the
administration
and
the
finance
department,
but
I've
been
told
by
the
county,
so
we
spoke
with
and
the
municipalities
we
spoken
with,
that
the
personnel
impact
is
very,
very
minimal.
They
do
all
of
the
grunt
work.
It's
just
a
matter
of
pulling
the
original
documents
and,
and
things
like
that,
answering
some
questions.
So
there
is
a
there's,
a
small
impact
from
from
what
we're
told,
but
everyone
I
spoke
to
spoke
very
highly
of
them.
K
So
I
thought
that
the
committee
would
be
interested
in
that
we
and
then
you
know
the
other.
Things
are
continued
recommendations.
We
we
believe
in
our
forensic
audit,
so
we
do
recommend
that
and
then
the
statutory
functions
of
the
office.
We
continue
to
recommend
that
so
other
than
that
claims
report
has
been
emailed
to
everyone,
and
you
know
those
items
have
come
through
the
recommendation
process
and
so
forth.
So
I
guess
I
can
take
any
questions
if
there
are
any
otherwise.
G
A
G
F
Enough
fYI
for
the
committee
that
we
did
do
a
utility
audit,
similar
I'd,
have
to
look
up
the
company
I,
don't
know
if
it's
the
same
company
2012
2013
area,
we
went
through
a
very
thorough
thing,
most
of
most
of
what
they
found.
We
shut
off
a
lot
of
phone
lines
that
we
found
were
not
in
use,
but
a
lot
of
the
rates
like
18
t
rates
things
of
that
nature.
F
A
You
any
other
questions
or
comments.
Thank
you
for
look
those
let's
deal
with
the
claims
report
in
case
there's
any
questions.
There
I
think
we
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
monthly
report.
Mr.
Washington,
is
there
a
second
mr.
Sorenson
any
questions
on
the
motion
to
accept
a
monthly
report
on
claims?
A
A
D
D
Basically,
it's
it's
the
the
dev
net,
which
is
the
system
that
the
all
those
office
is
down
on
the
first
floor
placed
base
we'll
use
together,
and
so
it's
it's
just
the
new
agreements.
I
asked
him
to
go
back
and
renegotiate
this
and
stretch
out
the
cost.
He
did
negotiate
a
better
price
he's
a
tough
negotiator.
So
but
anyway,
you
see
the
rates
there.
That
comes
recommended
her
community
services.
So
it's
just
something
we
have
to
do
to
keep
that
license
agreement
going.
So
mr.
G
The
only
concern
I
would
have
it
is
a
five-year
software
contract.
I
know
there
was
some
talk
that
we
coming
to
the
end
of
a
mistake
we
made.
Would
we
need
to
coordinate
so
that
our
in
times
equal,
the
other
software,
so
that
we
could
put
things
together?
I
don't
know
for
close
yet,
but
I
know
we're
getting
in
the
range.
F
G
A
B
D
You
the
since
the
mileage
has
changed.
We
obviously
need
to
have
a
a
new
forum
out
there
for
people
to
fill
out,
so
those
all
forms
go
through
finance
in
the
full
board.
So
we
can
get
this
into
the
policy
procedure
manually,
email
this
out,
so
I
recommend
that
we,
we
you
know
adopt
this
on
December
14th
is
when
the
IRS
released
this
new
rate,
so
this
form
came
in
as
a
recommendation
of
the
auditor's
office
in
January,
so
we
had
to
bring
it
before
this
committee
before
to
go
to
the
rest
of
the
departments.
D
My
only
recommended
recommended
change
would
be.
There's
people
know
that
this
the
rate
comes
from.
The
IRS
would
be
to
strike
that
line
that
says
mileage
reimbursement
rate,
be
the
mileage
rate
established
by
the
IRS,
Publication,
463
and
535
seems
extraneous,
but
besides
that,
I
would
make
a
motion
to
recommend
the
approval
in
that
manner.
Is.
