Description
Finance Committee Meeting 10/23/2019 9:00 AM
B

C
C
It
did
not
have
to
alter
the
duties,
powers
and
functions
of
an
elected
office
and
that
practice
is
perpetuated.
Today
we
have
seen
through
the
budgetary
process
that
the
continued
and
pediments
financially
and
the
structural
and
organizational
impediments
on
the
elected
office
of
auditor
continue
today
and
it'll.
It
is
codified
in
the
policy
that
you
will
vote
on
later.
C
Both
of
these
documents
do
three
things:
they
circumvent
the
will
of
the
people
by
directing
resources
to
several
appointed
individuals
and
even
individuals
other
than
the
county
auditor,
because,
according
to
the
AG
General
Accounting
duties
may
not
be
delegated
to
any
officer
other
than
the
county
auditor.
The
delegation
of
the
duties
to
persons
other
than
the
elected
official
is
exactly
what
this
budget
and
the
policy
that
is
proposed
that
you're
going
to
vote
on.
Does
the
second
thing
that
the
policy
does
not
do.
It
does
not
address
at
the
most
basic
level.
C
C
Accountants
are
involved
in
more
than
just
data
entry
and
bookkeeping.
Their
work
includes
evaluating
the
effectiveness
of
operations
transactions,
the
overall
picture
of
the
health
of
the
organization,
effectiveness
and
efficiency
of
compliance,
auditing
tax
paint,
tax
planning,
forecasting,
the
future
the
results
of
future
operations
and
designing
efficient
accounting
systems
or
accounting
information
systems.
C
Relegating
the
elected
office
a
bookkeeping
or
data
entry
function
where
there
are
still
individuals
with
control
to
manipulate
the
software
behind
any
work
that
the
auditor
has
done,
is
a
risk
to
our
office,
and
we
are
not
willing
to
accept
that
risk.
It
has
been
well-documented
that
people
who
report
to
the
administration
have
done
things
that
involve
changing
information
in
the
budget
and
in
the
accounting
software
system,
and
we
and
the
auditor's
office
will
not
expose
ourselves
to
the
risks
that's
created
in
this
document.
C
The
fiscal
policy
document
taken
together
with
the
budget
does
not
represent
a
basic
accounting
concept,
namely
substance
over
form.
These
two
documents
merely
Express
and
codify
a
form
of
accounting
and
general
accounting
practices
being
changed,
but
not
the
substance
of
those
practices
being
in
compliance
with
state
law,
state
statute,
federal
standards.
I
know,
there's
nothing
that
I
can
say
this
morning
that
will
convince
this
committee
to
vote
against
or
alter
this
egregious
document
that
has
been
crafted
at
the
direction
of
our
leadership.
C
This
committee,
I,
want
you
to
understand,
does
not
have
the
authority
to
enact
what
will
be
enacted
by
this
policy
that
continues
to
perpetuate
the
alteration
of
the
duties,
powers
and
functions
of
elected
office
and
uses
the
budget
as
a
weapon,
essentially
to
continue
to
impede
the
office
from
faithfully
executing
its
duties.
I
hope
that
you
will
consider
these
comments.
I
hope
that
you
will
deliberate
among
yourselves
and
not
just
rubber-stamp
this
policy,
because
it
does
not
satisfy
the
statutory
authority
that
is
vested
in
the
duly
elected
auditor's
office.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Hearing,
no
other
requests
for
public
comment.
We
will
move
on.
There
are
no
presentations
today.
Minutes
for
September
25th
have
been
distributed.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
mr.
Peyton
first?
Second,
mr.
Washington,
all
in
favor
of
approving
the
minutes
say
aye
opposed,
nay
motion
carries
we'll
turn
to
the
finance
department.
Mr.
McCarty.
D
Morning,
everyone
first
off
sorry
I'm
trying
to
get
over
medicine,
I
checked
in
yet
so
I
called
human
voice
cleared
yeah
this
morning
in
the
main
and
documents
that
we
look
at
still
watching
sales
tax.
Real
close,
you
know
the
activity
that's
going
on
there,
but
the
the
bed
rental,
the
income
tax
use
tax
and
especially
PPR
t
tax
came
in
had
a
really
nice
and
bump
this
month
of
134
thousand
higher
than
I'm
the
same
month
a
year
ago.
D
So
we
did
get
communication
from
the
state
that
the
PPR
T
was
estimated
to
go
up
by
14
percent.
So
we'll
keep
an
eye
on
that.
We
didn't
budget
to
the
full
14
percent,
but
as
you
can
see
that
the
trend
is
increasing
there
so
and
included
just
trend
for
Village
Bradley
bourbon,
a
city
Kankakee
as
well
so
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
and
also
anybody's
got
any
specific
questions
as
there's
a
lot
of
information
to
cover
this.
This
month,.
E
D
Know
watching
I
think
it's
if
you
look
at
the
breakdown
between
within
the
municipal
in
the
out
or
the
unincorporated
areas,
I
think
the
difference
is
in
the
unincorporated
areas,
primarily
and
the
way
the
months
have
flown
flowed
through
compared
to
of
like
a
year
ago.
So
so
there's
still
a
possibility
of
correction
there.
As
you
look
at
previous
years,
the
trend
you
know
and
the
unincorporated,
the
CT
column
can
fluctuate
for
the
various
times
of
year.
So
that's
the
main
fluctuation.
D
E
D
A
it's
a
very
good
possibility,
that's
that's!
What's
affecting
it,
you
know,
and
then
what
month
it
happens
in
his
is
very
unique.
As
you
see
in
other
years,
the
ala
September
October
was
high
in
2016,
so
you
know
that's
something
that
we'll
keep
an
eye
on
so
that
may
end
up.
Trending
slower,
depending
on
the
rest
of
the
year,
goes
where
we
planned
kind
of
planned
around
that
you
know
then
keep.
D
Over
through
updated
through
September
2019,
you
know,
Coburn
November
estimated
I've
got
a
lot
of
work
done
for
next
year
and
we'll
bring
that
and
now
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
the
budget
items
all
identified
and
important
things
as
well
as
here
in
a
minute
insurances
and
those
types
of
things
identified
will
be
we'll.
Take
a
look
now
into
2020
and
have
the
conversation.
You
know
whether
or
not
to
do
another
ta,
W,
etc,
and
just
look
at
the
trends
going
forward,
so
everything's
flowing
as
expected.
D
A
D
D
D
A
B
A
D
Were
some
changes
us
the
the
notes
here
right
up
front
from
the
documents,
the
draft
document
or
see?
Friday?
There
was
a
couple
of
changes
positive
for
the
general
fund.
We
got
a
call
from
Tom
Latham
my
mid-month
morning
on
Monday
that
he
found
out
that
the
state
increased
two
of
his
current
employees.
D
The
the
salary
reimbursements
are
what
we
call
grant
aid
the
GI,
a
it's
an
additional
137
thousand
dollars,
so
that
was
added
in
to
the
probation,
grant,
Nate
or
GI
a
line
in
the
general
fund,
so
the
they
upped
the
reimbursement
amount
for
two
current
South
to
current
employees.
So
there
was
not
an
addition
of
employees
to
get
that.
D
They
changed
the
status
of
two
existing
employees,
and
now
we
we
received
additional
information
for
work
comp
in
the
general
life
liability,
auto
for
under
ICR
mt
insurance
for
the
tort
fund,
and
then
we
added
the
9-1-1
budget,
we're
still
missing
the
Health
Department
budget.
They
are
still
finalizing
because
of
a
grant
that
they're
trying
to
find
out
about
they.
They
believe
it'll
be
ready
next
week.
So
we'll
we'll
get
that
included
before
the
full
board
and
then
a
family
emergency
delayed
our
meeting
with
the
Circuit
Clerk.
D
She
has
some
items
she'd
like
to
discuss
so
there
may
be,
you
know,
there's
a
potential
I,
don't
know
what
the
information
is
at
this
point
between
now
and
the
full
board.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
those
changes.
So
with
you.
As
far
as
from
the
document
that
you
received
Friday
the
email,
so
I
was
such
an
election
and
yes,
please,
okay,
so
first
off
would
be
the
general
fund
and
we
included
general
fund
toward
pension
fund
balance
trend.
D
You
know
another
little
bit
of
a
history
thing
there
I
don't
spend
a
lot
of
time
since
we
have
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
on
that
last
few
months,
but
I
will
note
that
our
estimated
year
in
four
in
2019
for
the
tort
fund
that
it
as
is
back
to
and
exceeded
the
level
that
it
was
at
in
2008,
so
as
general
fund
and
tour
continue
to
improve.
The
tort
fund
has
now
reached
its
previous
level.
So
that's
a
no
the
good
news
or
so
so
yeah
I.
D
D
So
we
were
able
to
make
those
adjustments
and
fit
everything
in
so
just
an
agenda,
but
we'll
get
to
toward
benshan
here
in
a
second,
but
so
the
property
tax
and
the
Jenna
fun
includes
a
little
extra
bump
beyond
the
regular
change,
their
regular
percentages
that
go
into
that.
We
kind
of
ramp
down
sales
tax
a
little
bit
from
what
we
had
previously
we're,
actually
matched
up
to
apply
19
budget,
the
other
taxes,
if
you
will
are
just
either
trend
or
information
we
received
from
the
state,
an
expectation
and
what
they
were
seeing.
D
They
do
put
out
some
information
on
a
few
of
the
on
a
few
of
the
items
in
here,
the
for
the
and
for
the
various
I'm
going
to
skip
over
here.
Just
a
second
and
I've
we've
had
a
few
questions
in
administration
of
the
next
to
last
line.
The
sale
of
capital
assets
had
a
question
about
that,
that
is,
for
the
sale
of
our
portion
of
the
River
Valley
juvenile
detention
center
and
our
agreement
with
Will
County.
D
Until
we
get
through
that
whole
agreement,
that's
the
that's
part
of
the
the
transactional
area
that
that
goes
through.
So
that's
what
that
is
there,
the
other
fees
and
fines,
various
fees,
fines
throughout
the
departments
for
various
departments,
are
basically
all
trend
at
this
point
and
what's
available
to
us
at
you,
know
right
now,
so.
E
You,
mr.
chairman,
a
pretty
simple
guy
and
when
I
look
at
a
budget,
the
first
thing
I
look
at
is
revenue.
Then
the
second
thing
I
look
at
is
expenses
and
make
sure
first
of
all,
that's
balanced
and
one
of
the
things
I
noticed
in
this
budget
is
that
we're
down
four
hundred
and
some
thousand
dollars
projected
revenue
and
then
a
offsetting
expenses.
Now
revenue
is
easy
to
go
down.
How
do
you
just
in
summary,
how
do
you
cut
$400,000
from
revenue
and
expenses?
E
E
A
D
I
mean
we've
only
a
few
months
and
do
it
his
questions
about
Circuit,
Clerk,
Department
and
their
transactions.
At
this
point,
I
can
tell
you
we
were
trending
from
early
a
year
before
the
new
activity
went
into
place
about
sixty
thousand
roughly
below
what
we
were
a
year
ago
and
the
most
recent
difference
is
now
around
ten
thousand
dollars
difference.
So
it
actually
trend
it
up
a
little
bit
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
trend
or.
C
D
It's
that
early,
but
as
far
as
what
we
can
see
right
now,
so
basically
I
just
use
what's
available
right
now,
because
that's
all
we
have
and
we'll
people
obviously
keep
a
close
eye
on
that
I
know
early
estimates
we
were
trying
to
figure
out
as
a
ten
is
a
fifteen
percent
drop.
You
know
what
percent
drop,
but
right
now,
there's
no
evidence
of
that,
but
at
least
in
the
general
fund
we're
watching
the
other
special
funds
closely.
There
may
be
a
trudge
trend,
change
and
in
a
special
fund.
H
D
D
That's
recorded
way
down,
so
you
can
see
that
there's
a
significant
change
in
the
grand
eighth
salary
GI,
a
salary
line
probation
on
grant,
so
that
not
only
the
change
from
Friday,
but
there
is
also,
in
addition,
the
state
authorized
for
new
positions,
fully
100%
funded.
So
you'll.
You
will
see
a
change
not
only
in
revenue,
but
also
an
expense
on
the
probation
side
and
but
the
expense,
and
what
they're
reimbursing
us
for
out
is
higher
than
the
revenue
increase
is
higher
than
the
expense
change
as
we
went
through
because
of
that
kicked
up.
D
A
F
Thank
you,
mr.
leer,
mr.
chairman
and
Steve,
you
know
it's.
It's
been
a
long
time
since
we've
seen
positive
growth
in
our
general
fund
and
our
tort
fund
balances
are
all
balancing
out.
You
know,
I'm
looking
at
a
a
six
year,
negative
and
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
the
committee
of
five
that
this
is
a
lot
of
their
vision
that
happened
expedition
aliy
with
this
process.
So
it's
it's
happened
a
little
sooner.
So
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
committee
of
fives
work
a
long
time
ago.
F
That's
put
us
in
this
place
so
in
and
there's
a
lot
of
hard
work
in
this
room
and
in
your
office
Steve
to
make
sure
this
budget
has
been
balanced
and
we're.
Finally,
at
a
balanced
budget
this
year
and
looking
forward
to
you,
know
fruitful
years
to
come
so
I
thank
the
committee
of
five
now
because
their
vision
has
come
to
light
and
in
your
office
Steve.
Thank
you.
I
You
mr.
chairman,
as
a
member
of
the
Kennedy
five
along
with
chairman
Wheeler,
who
were
on
the
committee,
I
want
to
thank
mr.
C
Roy,
but
it
took
everybody
in
this
current
board
and
previous
boards
in
all
our
countywide
officials
and
departments,
to
make
this
happen
and
the
finance
department
steve
has
been
great
and
he's.
You
know
he
had
a
rough
few
years
there
and
you
know
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
everybody.
That's
been
involved
in
this
process.
It's
been
a
long
process.
I
can
probably
don't
chairman
wheeler
can
back
me
up
on
this
we've.
I
Nowhere
did
we
ever
foresee
this
happening
at
such
an
expedient
rate.
We
were
thinking
what
a
decade
out
at
least,
and
it
was
pretty
dire
and
it
took
everybody-
and
you
know
you
hear
some
naysayers
and
innuendos
being
thrown
out
there,
but
is
this
has
been
done?
The
right
way
very
transparent
and
done
the
right
way.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
involved.
J
D
Yeah
this
this
particular
this
budget.
Mr.
Cerra
us
earlier
chairman,
wheeler,
Aneta
spectrum
in
myself
sad
and
went
over
the
you
know
the
the
questions
or
requests.
You
know
the
Witcher
exchanges.
You
know
that
all
the
items
a
very
very
instead
that
show
up-
and
basically
we
start
out-
we
started
out
back
in
July
and
in
August
communicating
out
to
the
departments
what
they're
any
changes
needs.
You
know
we
made
phone
calls
emails,
you
know
asking
them
for
their
input.
D
We
we
create
a
spreadsheet
working
document
that
they
can
interact
in
for
all
the
special
funds
we
send
it
out
to
them
so
that
they
can
interact
and
it'll
calculate
for
them.
You
know
rather
an
expensive,
unbalanced
change.
You
know
for
what
they
do,
what
they're
looking
for
for
their
special
fund.
So
we
send
a
lot
of
information
out.
D
Ask
for
you,
know
the
information
and
their
request
to
come
back
in
and
then
we've
been
and
as
there's
a
committee
met,
you
know
we
go
over
the
various
things
that
you
know
that
show
up
are
requested,
etc.
So
insurances,
you
know
the
like.
So
so
it's
quite
an
extensive
process
that
takes
you,
know
a
lot
of
input
and
you
know
the
departments.
You
know
they
have
to
take
time
out
of
their
busy
schedule
to
communicate
back
to
us
and
so
that
you
know
everybody.
J
J
D
This
has
been
one
of
the
best
budget.
For
that
reason,
so
yeah
the
department's,
you
know
they
they
don't
they
don't
cringe
when
you
call
and
ask
them
about
budget
time.
You
know
like
we
were
in
the
past
and
you
know
their
fear
of
what
about.
What
are
you
gonna
take
for
me
this
time
and
you
know
so.
It
was
yeah
it
much
much
better,
much
more
pleasant
process.
That's
for
sure.
Mr.
I
A
D
A
D
Yeah
and
I
try
to
be
the
facilitator
of
getting
the
information
to
the
the
budget
committee
and
also
to
you.
So
yes,
there
were
a
few
changes.
There
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
flows
through
and
there's
you
know
with
the
we've
gone,
you
know
when
you
get
into
health
insurance
and
you
get
into
every
single
aspect.
D
We
carry
over
the
revenue
line
just
to
bring
it
all
together,
as
it
comes
to
fund
balance
on
page
two,
but
an
important
line
that
chairman
wheeler
added
in
to
the
to
this
document
is
the
inter
fund
debt
reduction
line,
the
first
line
and
it's
important
because
we've
we've
been
identifying.
You
know
as
many
dollar
Molly
as
much
as
we
can
to
apply
and
pay
back
the
inter
fund
loans.
You
know
the
TW
is
etc
to
get
cash
back
up,
as
you
know,
is
available.
D
The
health
insurance
right
now
we're
basically
flowing
at
trend
and
that
information
will
show
up
next
and
you'll
understand
why
so
I
won't
go
into
that,
because
there's
a
lot
of
other
information
coming
but
you'll
understand
why
we're
at
trend
here
in
a
few
minutes
utilities
originally
had
that
hire
of
it.
After
last
month's
Finance
Committee,
we
found
out
with
the
new
agreements
that
gas
and
electric
savings,
and
then
I
mean
the
finance
department
have
been
working
with
AT&T
and
we're
still
watching.
We.
D
They
owe
us
$60,000
that
we're
still
waiting
for
a
credit
and
as
well
as
they
have
changed
the
current
billing
that
they
were
Miss
filling.
So
this
is
about
$100,000
catch
and
change
that
we
we've
found
with
them
and
we're
still
waiting
on
that.
But
that's
also
included
in
here.
I
can
true
and
see,
there's
a
jump
there,
but
that's
not
an
additional
employee.
They
have
been
paying
because
of
our
situation,
fiscal
situation.
D
They
have
been
paying
an
employee
out
of
their
reserves
and
they
were
requesting
the
additional
20,000
to
because
their
reserves
are
getting
low
in
the
area
that
they
were
using.
As
my
understanding.
So
they
requested
an
additional
amount
for
that
capital
development.
There
is
a
an
attachment
that
has
the
list
there.
It's
would
be
after
the
second
page
of
the
expense
just
shows
the
increase,
the
changes.
You
know
to
the
leases
that
we've
done,
and
also
one
year,
repayment
to
the
local
public
building
commission.
D
That
is,
for
the
parking
lot
in
the
building
next
door.
That
was
done
in
2012
and
as
well
as
a
I
was.
It
was
not
only
the
building
that
demolished
and
then
the
pavement,
but
also,
and
also
a
lot
a
house
and
a
lot
the
same
around
the
courthouse
area.
That
was
all
done
in
2012
and
we
have
never
had
the
ability
to
pay
them
back
until
now.
D
So
that's
a
one-year
repayment
for
that
activity
of
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
dollars
built-in
plus,
as
you
all
know,
the
the
additional
or
the
new
lease
is
not
additional.
We
needed
at
leases
that
happen
this
year.
You
know,
and
then
one
of
them
is
estimated
because
I
know
that
there's
it's
still
in
process
all
I
could
do,
is
estimate
at
this
point
and
it's
being
adjusted
if
I'm
understanding
right
to
some
level
here
coming
up.
D
A
J
Just
just
a
quick
mention,
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman:
do
the
Central
Services
line
item
I
get
we
our
payroll
processing
is
through
the
roof,
so
we'll
probably
be
coming
back
after
we
do
open,
enrollment
and
I
hope
Joanne's,
not
watching
this
on
the
video
right
now,
but
we're
probably
gonna.
Look
at
asking
the
board
to
look
at
other
payroll
processing
options.
We
originally
thought
it
was
gonna,
be
a
great
deal
of
25,000
on
I.
Believe
it's
up
around
90
is
that
where
we're
at
roughly
Steve
I
mean
it's
way
up
there
and
yeah.
D
J
And
so
after
we
get
through
the
season
so
to
speak,
I
won't
burden
HR
with
that,
but
we
should
probably
look
at
that
as
a
board.
It's
it's
it's
not
the
best,
let's
just
say
they've
after
finding
three
years,
they
finally
got
all
the
right
codes
in
there.
I'll
have
to
write
the
ones
that
make
the
system
work
the
best
on
deductions
and
things,
but
it's
just
still
unwieldy
and
expensive.
So
just
want
to
mention
that.
D
Top
agencies-
okay,
yeah!
That's
what
I
was
studying
actually
yeah.
The
four
mentioned
few
changes
in
the
grants.
You
can
see
the
AmeriCorps
grant
the
state's
attorneys
been
discussing
and
that
that's
one
of
them
that
has
been
discussed
a
lot
here
recently
and
is
now
in
the
budget.
The
public
defender
chairman,
wheeler,
represent
yeah
stay
in
exactly
as
far
as
the
changes
in
the
work
that
they're
doing
there.
How
no
chairman
will,
if
you
have
anything
else,
they
obviously
what
you
said
yesterday
just.
J
D
So
just
and
then
probation
you
can
see
there
is
a
jump
there,
but
those
positions
are
fully
funded
from
the
state
and
again
the
revenue
was
higher
than
the
expense,
the
juvenile
center
there's
the
the
expense
side
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
left
D
NDC
alone.
That's
a
juvenile
placement,
that's
directed
by
the
chief
judge
and
right
now,
there's
very
little
activity
there,
but
that
they
we
leave
that
there
for
for
that
activity.
D
So
it's
it's
it's
different
every
year,
but
so
that's
that's
just
kind
of
the
trend
and
that's
to
the
purview
of
the
chief
judge.
So
other
specific
items
of
you
know
there.
The
drug
court
grant
is
now
getting
ramped
up
and
that
was
discussed.
You
know
quite
a
bit
and
a
while
back
coming
in.
So
that's
now
is
showing
up
on
the
budget.
A
D
Special
funds,
the
LIA
funds-
I'll
just
go
through
this.
If
somebody
has
a
specific
question,
spend
too
much
time
on
it,
the
after
the
we
have
funds
and
you
have
the
debt
service
funds
or
the
bond
payments
and
then
toward
pension.
As
I
mentioned,
you
know,
you'll
see
the
lower
property
tax
revenue
and
the
tort
funded.
200
is
the
number
identified
for
tort,
but,
as
you
can
see,
it
still
has
area
for
growth,
even
though
we
we've
dropped
the
property
tax
down.
D
D
A
J
A
K
D
D
A
B
A
A
L
Costs
between
the
four
plans
that
we
have
currently
and
a
competitive
bid
that
we
received
from
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
Mike's,
going
to
talk
through
the
differences,
but
essentially
what
happened
was
Mike
was
able
to
take
our
census
out
and
get
a
competitive
bid
from
Blue,
Cross,
Blue
Shield,
and
what
what
we
did
was
not
ask
them
to
exactly
mirror
the
United
Healthcare
plan
we
have,
because
that
would
be
a
custom
plan,
but
to
find
their
plan.
That
is
most
close
to
the
four
that
we
have
currently
so
by
doing
so,
it's
their
pricing.
L
G
Think
as
the
process
started,
you'll
remember
at
the
last
meeting
we
talked
about
the
experience
and
it
had
turned
from
very
very
good.
Approximately
a
year
ago,
it
ran
in
the
sixty-six
percent
range
here
recently
that
got
into
the
upper
80s
and
I,
feared
that
you
know
at
that
point
in
time
that
you
know
it
might
mean
either
a
stiff
increase
or
something
that
wasn't
going
to
be
affordable.
G
G
At
that
point,
men,
Blue
Cross
came
back.
We
were
able
to
secure
rates
from
both
carriers
that
were
less
than
what
was
paid
in
2019,
so
I
think
the
best
way
to
say
this
is
that
each
one
of
these
plans
is
as
close
to
what
exists
as
possible.
Anita's
correct.
If
we
customize
any
of
those
plans
and
make
them
exactly
alike,
Blue
Cross,
the
first
thing
they
do
is
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
charge
you
for
doing
that.
G
Now
the
last
two,
if
you
look
at
that,
are
the
most
popular
plans,
the
third
it
has
121
bodies
in
it
and
the
the
last
one
has
163
bodies
in
it,
and
so
those
rates
come
out
almost
even
of
where
they
were
so
for
the
employee.
It's
going
to
be
a
very,
very
good
situation.
We
feel
so
as
we
get
to
the
end
of
this
process.
I
guess
the
easiest
way
to
explain
this
is
that
when
you
look
at
all
the
numbers
blue
cross
is
lower
than
United
Healthcare.
G
By
about
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars,
so
it's
close
but
they're
lower
by
that
amount,
but
that's
not
the
only
reason.
I
think
that
Blue
Cross
has
an
advantage
here
and
I'll
go
to
this
extent.
If
you
look
at
that
page
there,
all
of
these
plans
that
blue
cross
quoted
use
one
network
you'll,
remember
the
UnitedHealthcare.
It
used
three
networks
and
choice
plus
was
their
best
network,
most
costly.
The
Blues
just
said:
we'll
use
this
one
national
network,
so
there
is
no
choice
for
people
to
make
relative
to
network
and
I.
Think
that's
a
positive.
G
We
had
a
lot
of
problems
earlier
on
because
we
had
retirees
out
of
state
and
they
couldn't
get
the
lower
cost
or
excuse
me
the
lower
deductible
plan,
because
that
was
the
navigate
plan.
It
was
the
HMO
and
it
wasn't
available
to
them
out
of
state.
In
this
scenario,
Blue
Cross
is
going
to
provide
a
PPO
versus
an
HMO,
so
that
will
allow
those
people
to
make
that
choice
if
they
wish
to
so
that
that's
a
big
positive.
G
To
me,
Blue
Cross
is
probably
the
positive
choice
here,
because
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
United
Healthcare
has
been
a
joy
to
work
with
they've
been
a
fine
carrier.
They've
done
good
things,
but
here
in
these
situations,
when
you
go
back
and
forth,
you
know
it
Rupp's
into
a
kind
of
a
midi
bidding
war
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
Blues
were
lower
and
I.
Think
it
fits
very
well
for
the
county,
so
I'd
make
that
recommendation.
L
That
is
the
plan
that
currently
the
county
funds,
an
HSA
for
the
employees
that
choose
that
plan.
So
that's
five
hundred
dollars
a
year
for
single
options
and
anything
either
plus
1
or
family
coverage.
Those
people
that
opt
into
that
plan
receive
$1,000
h,
HSA
contribution
from
the
county.
So
we
would
also
want
to
know
if
you
want
to
continue
with
that
option.
That's
a
higher
deductible
plan,
and
that
was
always
kind
of
the
thought
process
of
why
the
county
funded
that
to
assist
our
employees.
In
that.
G
G
I
think
people
have
taken
advantage
of
the
savings
programs
and
the
ones
that
have
done
it
and
stashed
the
money
away.
I
think
are
very
happy
with
it.
We
have
some
young
people
that
make
mention
that
they've
been
doing
it.
So
that's
that's
good
to
know,
and
many
of
you
may
not
know.
Every
month,
Anita
has
a
new
employee
meeting
that
we
we
go
to
and
we
explain
details
of
the
medical
plans
and
talk
about
HSA
days
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
I
think
as
that.
L
One
thing
that
does
change
sorry,
that
does
change
is
that
this
weekend
are
our
provider,
for
that
HSA
has
always
been
Homestar
and
they
funded.
Those
accounts
are
at
no
no
fee
charge
to
our
employees
and
with
the
change
in
bank
ownership,
that's
going
to
two
dollars
per
month
for
any
I'm
looking
at
mark
because
he's
the
one
who
uncovered
it
all
for
me
yesterday,
if
there's
a
balance
of
less
than
fifteen
hundred
dollars
in
that
account,
they're
going
to
charge
our
employees
two
dollars
a
month,
so
that
will
be
a
change
in
that
plan.
E
G
G
But
in
at
the
2
dollar
range
I,
don't
believe
that
that's
out
of
the
ordinary,
but
there
are
other
entities
outside
the
community
and
inside
the
community,
I'm
sure
it's
about
payroll
deduction,
though
and
I
think
early
on,
when
they
did
that
they
may
have
been
the
only
institution
that
had
the
ability
to
do
payroll
deduction
of
that
type.
So,
yes,
there
are
there
alternatives.
Now
between.
A
J
Just
to
call
attention
to
a
couple
things
regarding
the
HSA
and
then
also
the
new
plan.
The
the
drug
card
situation
will
change,
so
you
may
see
some
people
migrate
away
from
it,
because
there
is
a
drug
card
now
at
10:15
or
10:30
560
right.
It
goes
deductible
and
coinsurance.
So
if
they
do
have
regular
meds,
they
make
a
move
from
that
into
the
PPO
or
they
may
take
the
higher
level
where
it
is
just
a
percentage
discount,
depending
on
the
personal
situation.
That's
something
that
we'll
be
making
keenly
aware
to
the
employees.
J
When
we
make
the
new
video
that
goes
out
every
year,
we're
sending
the
video
and
they
watch
it
and
their
family
watches
it
to
make
their
choices,
which
is
another
great
thing
you
need
is
done,
but
then
also,
if
you're,
looking
at
the
the
PPO
option,
that's
gonna
replace
the
HMO.
We
were
talking
and
I
thought
it
was
you're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
migration
into
that
out
of
the
one
right.
Next
to
it.
J
L
Really
saw
people
in
that
in
that
third
plan
because
they
didn't
they
didn't
want
an
HMO,
it's
kind
of
a
lot
of
monkeying
around.
Sometimes
you
run
into
troubles
finding
somebody
in
network
or
or
out
of
network
and
so
I
think
Andy's
right.
We're
gonna
see
some
migration
out
of
that
higher
deductible
plan
into
that
PPO.
Now
that
that's
replaced
with
a
PPO,
that's.
J
G
G
Blue
Cross,
has
an
advantage
in
lower
out-of-pocket
maximum
and,
as
Andy
said,
when
you
compare
the
third
and
fourth
options
there,
there
could
be
some
migration
one
to
the
other.
That's
that's
kind
of
natural
I
think
because
they'll
see
a
lower
deductible,
lower
out-of-pocket
for
almost
the
same
cost,
and
one
of
the
things
that
can
be
done
in
the
future
is
to
you
know,
maybe
manipulate
this
in
a
different
direction.
They
have
different
structured
plans
than
they're
here
right
now,
but
you
know
here's
what
we
did.
G
G
J

A
A
B
L
G
Dental
plan
is
with
Delta
Dental
and
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
24
month
rate
guarantee.
So
this
is
you
know
right
the
midpoint
next
year
that
will
have
to
go
out
and
so
there's
nothing
to
be
done
there.
That's
the
same.
The
rate
continues
forward.
What
I
did
want
to
tell
you
is
that
the
experience
rating
there
is
lower
than
it
was
last
year.
G
We
actually
reduce
the
rates
that
the
employees
paid
in
the
dental
plan
last
year
and
now
the
experiences
it
was
been
reduced,
I
don't
know
how
to
explain
it
other
than
they
they've
gotten.
Very.
Very
people
have
used
the
preventative
side
of
the
dental
plan
to
a
great
extent.
There
was
very
high
usage
there,
so
it
must
have
a
healthy
group
of
people
there
nobody's
drinking
soda
there
you
go.
The
vision
plan
is
with
VSP.
G
They
are
raising
their
rate,
it's
about
a
6%
increase,
but
you
have
to
realize
that
as
an
example,
an
employee
which
this
is
a
voluntary
plan-
they'll
pay
about
individually
of
42
cents
more
per
month.
So
it's
not
a
huge
dollar
amount.
I
recommend
staying
with
VSP,
because
people
have
been
very
satisfied
with
it
and
in
the
future
there
may
be
some
advantages
of
looking
at
other
plans
like
Blue
Cross
has
an
under
Vision
Plan
things
of
that
nature,
but
I
would
say
it's
best
to
stay
with
VSP
this
year.
G
No
change
in
benefit
and
a
slight
change
and
rate
the
county
does
pay
for
one
plan.
It's
the
group
life
insurance
plan,
it.
It
buys
a
ten
thousand
dollar
group
term
insurance
plan
on
each
employee,
so
it's
100
percent
paid
for
so
all
employees
are
given
that
they
also
get
a
D
and
D
with
that.
That
plan
is
renewing
for
the
same
dollar
amounts
that
was
in
the
last
two
year.
G
Agreement
which
ends
this
year,
but
Luke
Dearborn
national,
which
is
a
wholly
owned
subsidiary
of
Blue
Cross,
is
renewing
it
for
the
next
two
years
at
the
same
rates,
I
recommend
you
know
staying
there.
Last
but
not
least,
Dearborn
national
off
also
offers
the
group
supplemental
term
life
with
a
D
and
E,
and
those
rates
do
not
change.
They
would
be
guaranteed
for
two
years
and
at
a
point,
sometime
down
the
road
here,
Dearborn
Nationals
name
will
disappear.
It
becomes
Blue,
Cross,
Blue,
Shield
life.
G
J
G
L
That's
the
next
section
in
your
packets-
and
it
says
the
first
page
says:
Alliant
Kankakee,
County
and
there's
two
things
in
here:
there's
a
10
page
document,
which
is
the
actual
proposal,
that's
going
to
need
to
be
signed
and
then
right
after
that,
it's
what's
called,
they
call
towers,
which
is
an
overview
of
the
actual
coverages
and
deductibles.
So
that
I
thought
was
a
good
summary.
That
explains
there's
a
whole
lot
in
this
package.
L
It
is
quoted
by
a
lion
as
one
full
package,
and
so,
if
you
turn
to
page
four,
you
can
see
a
list
of
the
different
policies
and
then
what
the
renewals
are
in
total,
the
property
liability
umbrella
work
comp
all
that
last
year
was
a
million
615
643
and
the
renewal
premium
is
a
million
614
623
this
year.
If
you'll
remember
in
August,
what
we
did
with
our
cyber
policy
is
just
extend
that
to
12
1
so
that
they
renew
at
the
same
time
an
accord.
It
that's
included
in
this
package.
L
A
I
B
L
What
happened
this
year?
We've
talked
about
this
a
few
times
an
executive
is
that
our
EAP
provider
canceled
the
county.
We
received
a
letter
that
just
said
your
plan
is
cancelled
and
we're
giving
you
your
30
days
notice.
I
had
not
heard
from
any
employees
requesting
information,
so
I
thought.
Okay,
it's
not
going
to
be
an
issue.
L
So
as
Andy
and
I
were
talking
about
the
budget
for
2020
I
asked
if
we
could
at
least
research
an
EAP,
a
replacement,
EAP
I,
actually
test
Mike
with
that,
as
I
often
do,
and
he
did
a
fantastic
job
and
actually
came
back
with
this
big
booklet
proposal
from
four
different
companies.
I
think
there's
nine
different
plans
and
I'll.
Let
Mike
talk
through
the
differences
in
those
plans.
That
is
this
sheet
here.
L
G
There
are
a
couple
of
quotes
here
that
you
know
are
higher
than
others,
but
it
was
our
hope
that
you
know
need
a
put
the
spreadsheet
dealer
and
it's
fantastic
to
look
at.
But
the
the
one
that
we
concentrated
on
is
an
entity
called
perspectives
and
the
reason
for
it
is
kind
of
simple.
They
do
seminars
on
video
with
folks
and
they
do
those
on
a
monthly
basis.
G
They
do
have
free
webinars,
also
found
in
their
literature
that
they
sent
us
they've
got
over
a
hundred
governmental
units
that
have
used
their
services
and
they'll
provide
a
variety
of
monthly
webinars
and
they
give
you
a
list
of
them
and
you
can
go
through
them
and
kind
of
do
some
picking
and
choosing.
But
the
real
key
here
is
I.
Think
when
you
get
down
to
the
right
side
of
the
page,
you'll
see
that
there's
a
three
session
in
a
six
session,
in-person
counseling
basis
and
really
an
EAP,
is
pretty
worthless.
G
If
you
can't
get
to
somebody
and
physically
talk
to
them.
If
the
problem
gets
severe
enough
and
that
that's
the
key
and
if
you've
got
somebody
that
doesn't
have
any
out
or
anybody
to
discuss
some
of
these
things
that
this
the
purpose
of
an
EAP
it's
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
go
to
counseling-
and
you
know
nothing's
revealed
so
I-
think
in
terms
of
what
I
see
here,
I
think
any
of
these
three
perspective
quotes
are
good,
but
the
differentiation
is
really
the
counseling
basis
in.
G
If
you
look
at
the
annual
totals
that
anita
came
up
with,
you
know
their
best
plan
annual
eise's
out
on
530
employees
at
a
dollar.
Ninety
five
at
twelve
thousand
four
hundred
and
the
next
one
closest
to
it
I
think
is
the
three
counseling
session
or
yeah
the
three
counseling.
That's
there's
only
a
thousand
dollars
difference
on
an
annualized
basis.
There
I
take
the
six
as
well
I'm,
basically
saying
and
I
think
perspectives
is,
is
the
entity
that
I
would
recommend
in
addition
to
that,
they
they
come
up
with
some
utilization
report,
they're!
G
Never
nobody
has
ever
named
in
these,
but
there's
statistics
what
kinds
of
incidents
have
occurred
and
things
of
that
nature?
Nothing
that
could
be
considered
to
be
protected.
Health
information
would
be
released
to
the
employer
as
an
example
there's
online
reports
so
that
the
county
can
get
and
there's
another
section
in
here,
which
you
know
gives
an
overview
of
everything
that
they
will
deal
with
in
the
webinar.
So
you
know
having
said
that,
each
one
of
these
in
Cleveland
Clinic,
that's
a
great
plan.
G
I,
don't
see
anything
wrong
with
that,
but
you
know
when
you,
when
it
comes
down
to
these
webinars
and
the
quality
interaction,
I
think
on
a
month-to-month
basis.
You
know,
perspectives
has
the
inside
track,
so
I
would
I
would
say
in
my
mind,
I
would
look
at
that
dollar.
Ninety
five
cost
of
perspectives
and
and
utilize
that
one.
A
G
The
top
two
I
should
have
said
you
know,
or
top
three
actually
are
all
from
UHC.
Well
that
was
predicated
on.
You
know
them
being
there.
So
you
know,
and
we
there's
a
there's
a
cost
to
two
of
the
three.
The
first
cost
UHC
care
24
was
included
in
the
medical
plans,
so
we're
just
noting
that
I
guess
is
the
best
way
to
say
it
and.
E
G
E
H
A
J
You
thank
you
mr.
chair
and
I
think
the
key
is
with
all
of
these
is,
is
how
you
market
it
to
your
employees,
and
so,
if
we're
going
to
do
this,
we
have
to
commit
to
also
an
ongoing
program
to
remind
them.
These
are
available
to
them,
not
just
ad
open
enrollment.
There
has
to
be
something
a
reach
to
those
employees.
You
know
not.
Everybody
gets
email,
so
you
have
to
make
sure
whether
it's
posted
on
their
their
boards
or
whatever.
A
A
B
G
Don't
know
we
have
a
published
one,
but
it's
what
they
call
a
silent,
Network
or
in
other
words,
they'll,
go
out
and
meet
with
individual
entities
in
different
communities
and
get
them
signed
up
and
make
sure
that
they
are.
You
know,
priced
at
a
level,
that's
appropriate,
so
they'll
work
with
people
too.
So
it's
very
comprehensive.
A
J
You
what
part
of
this
isn't
a
big
part
is,
is
to
try
to
keep
these
situations
off
of
your
health
plan
too,
because
it's
much
more
costly
for
your
health
plan
to
absorb
it.
You
start
with
this,
and
then
you
migrate
to
the
health
plan
if
it
starts
to
present
that
there
needs
to
be
a
higher
level
of
service,
so
you
would
hope
that
you
would
save
your
health
plan
at
least
what
you're
investing
in
the
EAP.
You
could
probably
do
that
with
one
or
two
employees,
so
especially.
A
K
B
A
All
right,
we'll
move
to
the
financial
policy
management
manual,
update
I.
Think
at
this
point
that
I'd
be
appropriate
to
make
a
couple
of
introductory
comments.
I
would
like
to
it.
As
chair.
We
heard
public
comment.
The
auditor
talking
about
some
of
his
response
to
seeing
this
update
and
it
made
recommend
reference
to
well-documented
changes
that
had
occurred
in
some
financial
things.
A
I'm,
not
aware
that
any
of
those
changes
had
been
brought
to
this
committee
in
a
way
that
we
didn't
know
about,
and
I
would
hope
that
the
auditor,
if
he's
got
specific
information,
could
bring
that
to
this
committee,
because
indeed
the
information
flowing
from
him
to
this
committee
is
essential
and
we
are
prepared
to
act
on
specific
information
the
auditor
brings.
But
at
this
time
I
cannot
recall
any
that
we
have
not
responded
to.
A
It
was
also
comment
in
terms
of
our
Authority
in
terms
of
this
manual.
I
would
remind
this
committee
that
we
sent
a
request
to
the
Attorney
General
to
help
define
accounting
and
the
Attorney
General
refused
to
do
that,
making
it
clear
that
that
was
something
that
we
needed
to
make
our
own
decision
on,
and
so
that
is
the
point
at
which
we
are
at
that
we
have
gotten
no
specific
guidance
from
the
state.
We've
had
to
act
on
our
own
I,
don't
miss
chairman.
A
L
As
introduction,
Steve
and
I
were
tasked
by
the
board
with
revisiting
the
policy
manual
to
comply
with
the
auditors
duties
state
statute,
so
we
did
need
to
consider
the
federal
generally
accepted
government
auditing
standards,
it's
known
as
the
yellow
book,
which
is
there's
one
page.
We
attached
that's
the
first
page
here:
government
auditing
standards.
L
The
page
included
is
the
page
that
indicates
that
municipal
auditors
are
required
to
follow
these
standards
as
well.
The
bottom
line
is
with
the
movement
of
some
of
these
accounting
activities
to
the
counties
to
the
auditor's
office.
We
needed
to
implement
controls
that
previously
did
not
exist
to
ensure
that
we
comply
with
the
yellow
book.
So
we
don't
jeopardize
our
federal
funding.
L
Yellow
book
is
kind
of
just
the
term
that
the
accounting
area
uses
to
disability.
Yes,
it's
it's.
The
government,
auditing
standards
that
are
followed,
and
those
are
the
standards
that
are
followed
in
terms
of
SK,
do
in
doing
our
annual
audit,
the
single
audit,
any
of
our
grant
audits
that
are
done
by
either
the
state
federal
level
anything
that
goes
on
out
at
the
public
health
department.
L
L
L
L
We
made
the
changes
in
red,
so
you
can
track
them
where
we
put
them,
but
essentially
the
the
changes
in
the
manual
moves.
The
following
activities
into
the
auditor's
office,
its
approval
of
all
new
chart
of
account
entries
fund
numbers
account
numbers
grant
numbers,
the
entry
of
all
accounts
payable,
the
compilation
and
entry
of
all
adjusting
journal
entries
asset
and
inventory
accounting
and
fiscal
year-end
close.
That
starts
FY
20.
So
what
will
happen
as
Steve
and
I
talked
through
the
difficult
here,
because
Steve's
group
is
doing
these
activities
now.
L
It's
probably
easier
for
him
to
go
through
the
audit
and
to
go
through
the
year-end
close
its
his
activity.
He's
got
to
own
it,
so
he
would
finish
up
the
audit
this
year
and
the
next
year.
As
the
auditor
takes
on
these
additional
responsibilities
for
the
FY
2015,
then
he
would
take
care
of
those
issues.
L
Limitation
of
the
MIP
system
is
that
if
you
open
posting,
you
open
it
for
all
functions,
so
it
really
it
really.
You
can't
limit
it
to
one
section
and
that's
a
problem,
and
when
you
post
Accounts
Payable
that
posted
in
and
those
checks,
Steve
can
talk
more
about
how
that
works.
His
struggle
is
what
happens,
is
those
all
are
in
the
queue
to
be
paid?
There
is
no
functionality
within
the
system
that
you
can
limit
it
to
certain
run
date,
certain
invoice,
dates
etc,
like
that,
so
it
is
a
cash
flow
function.
L
When
you
post
a
certain
batch
or
a
certain
number
of
accounts
payable,
you
are
essentially
queuing
those
up
to
be
paid.
That's
a
cash
flow
function,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
have
had
a
chance
to
review.
I
had
a
few
comments
back
from
mr.
leer
that
I'll
incorporate
in
here
behind
the
manual
you'll
see,
there
are
three
forms
that
we're
using
to
kind
of
track
through
some
of
these
activities
and
adjusting
journal
entry
form
so
that
gets
completed
and
routed
from
the
auditor's
office
through
administration,
where
those
adjusting
journal
entries
will
be
posted.
L
The
chart
of
account
changes
that's
completed
by
the
auditor's
office,
and
then
the
finance
department
works
with
the
treasurer's
office,
because
what
happens
when
you
set
up
a
fund
and
or
in
account?
Well
a
fund
really
our
department
you're
setting
default
cash
accounts,
so
you're
mapping
that
to
a
cash
and
again
that
goes
to
cash
flow
and
and
that's
why
we
wanted
that
left
with
the
finance,
so
our
treasures
treasurer's
office
and
then
that
goes
gets
routed
back
to
the
auditor's
office.
So
he
initiates
it.
L
L
A
E
I
have
the
utmost
and
calm
confident
confidence
in
your
and
Steve
ability
to
put
together
a
document,
that'll
work
well
for
the
county.
My
question
is:
when
I
heard,
who
developed
this,
has
legal
advice
been
sought
in
terms
of?
Is
it
consistent
with
state
and
laws?
As
anybody
look
to
dis,
my
legal
stamp.
L
L
E
My
concern
is
not
defining
accounting
and
I
understand
that
can
be
an
issue.
My
concern
is
that
this
is
consistent
properly
written
in
case
of
a
legal
challenge
and
usually
when
you
have
this
kind
of
document
change,
at
least
when
I
have
somebody
look
at
and
say:
yeah
you,
accountants
did
a
good
job.
H
L
Because
the
reason
that
is
is
because
the
first
criteria
is
an
an
original
cost
of
5,000
or
more
and
then
the
next
two
are
actually
one,
because
if
you
look
at
the
end
of
that
line,
it
says
and
a
useful
life
of
one
year
or
more
so
a
cost
of
5,000
and
a
useful
life
of
more
or
assets
that
extend
the
life
of
a
clearness.
So
it's
really
lines.
Two
and
three
are
really
one
very
clear.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
Well,
more
formal
statement,
the
first
when,
when
I
first
talked
to
Steven
Anita
about
the
need
to
do
this
with
was
like
almost
immediately
after
the
AG
got
back
to
us,
I
said
they
weren't
doing
it.
So
I
would
say
that
was
maybe
eight
months
ago
roughly
I
mean
we.
We
were
right
at
the
beginning
in
the
budget
year,
so
we
couldn't
switch,
but
we
had
to
prepare
for
this
time
and
the
only
real
guidance
that
in
litmus
test
I
said,
was
anything.
J
That's
accounting
needs
to
be
with
the
auditor's
office
and
anything
that
finance
stays
with
the
board,
and
that's
was
the
the
guiding
criteria
for
this
all
of
this
work
and
then
to
ask
themselves
questions
as
throughout
the
process
on
a
very
you
know,
micro
level,
everything
that
we're
changing
and
doing
does
it
does
it.
Does
it
fill
that
legal
obligation
we
have
to
comply
with
state
statutes,
something
we've
known,
we've
been
and
working
on
this
whole
time
to
change
in
the
new
budget
year.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
known.
L
There
was
a
couple
lines
that
Steve
talked
to
me
about.
The
payroll
section:
doesn't
talk
about
direct
deposit,
so
I'm
drafting
a
couple
lines,
because
the
bulk
of
our
employees
now
have
direct
deposit.
So
the
policy
manual
really
only
talks
about
paper.
Chuck's,
so
I'll
add
two
sentences
in
there
that
relate
to
direct
deposit
and
how
that
just
feeds
from
Paylocity.
A
H
A
A
B
A
B
J
J
We
will
still
manage
the
outside
on
it,
but
the
year-end
clothes
will
become
the
responsibility
as
it
should,
of
the
the
auditor's
office
for
the
next
close,
so
they're
going
to
close
their
own
year
of
business.
If
you
will
so
that
it's
not
just
here,
we
every
board
manages
the
outside
on
it.
That's
a
financial
process,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
do
that.
We
weren't
abdicating
that
responsibility
as
part
of
this
change.
J
L
The
credit
card
policy
there
are
changes
to
that
for
a
couple
reasons.
One
was
our
change
in
vendor
and
the
other
another
is
because
of
the
move
of
some
of
the
activities
down
to
the
auditor's
office.
We
want
to
checks
and
balances
in
there
and
then.
Thirdly,
there
were
implemented.
The
recommendations
from
SK
do
after
they're
agreed
upon
procedures
in
reviewing
our
current.
So
since
the
issues
with
the
credit
card,
the
Finance
Group
has
been
monitoring
those
balances
monthly,
so
I
went
ahead
and
put
that
into
the
policy
that
they
continue
to
do
that.
L
It
goes
to
the
auditor's
office
for
entry.
The
auditor's
office
continues
to
do
as
they
do
now.
The
manual
journal
entry
every
month
that
takes
specific
expense
lines
from
the
clearing
account
into
each
department,
so
nothing
changes
in
that
process.
The
only
thing
that
will
change
is
that
adjusting
journal
entry
because
that's
a
manual
entry
will
come
up
to
administration
for
posting
and
posting
when
I
say
posting,
that's
pushing
a
button
to
approve
it
and
approving
you
get.
You
receive
the
manual
entry
document
review
it
for
accuracy
and
then
go
ahead
and
post
the
entry.
A
J
L
Remains
with
the
auditor's
office?
No
change
to
what
we're
doing.
Now,
though,
the
piece
that's
moving
is
on
the
front
end,
the
actual
request
for
new
cards
will
come
through
administration
and
then,
when
the
statements
come
in,
just
like
now,
Steve's
office
will
be
that's
a
change
compiling
the
actual
making
the
claim
for
making
the
claim
form.
But
that
goes
to
the
audit
that
that
is
the
monthly
entry
that
is
I
want
to
say
one
line.
It's
essentially
charging
the
clearing
account
and
paying
the
bill
to
the
vendor.
L
A
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
on
this
I
think
this.
This
can
be
a
voice
vote.
You
know,
I
would
think
so.
All
in
favor
of
the
motion
to
approve
the
credit
card
policy
say
aye
aye
opposed,
nay
motion
carries.
Thank
you
very
much
that
should
take
care
of
administration
Department.
For
this
morning,
treasurer's
office
is
trying
to
come.
M
Just
wanted
to
say
just
on
this
side
gosh
that
was
great
news
to
hear
about
the
insurance.
That's
a
huge
deal
and
I'm,
probably
one
of
those
top
five
users.
So
unfortunately,
I
have
a
sick
child
and
mike
has
been
incredible
and
I
got
caught
in
that
not
a
national
planning
issue
and
it
was,
it
can
be
troublesome.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
and
Nia
and
might
get
done
on
that.
M
If
anybody's
interested
in
seeing
what
that
looks,
like
you're
welcome
to
attend,
it's
probably
30
tax
payers.
It's
all
automated
and
it'll
go
to
about
12:30
and
will
sell
all
delinquencies
by
then
this
month
are
this
week
I'm
sorry,
we
will
publish
delinquencies
in
the
paper,
so
you'll
see
them
in
your
local
papers
and
in
the
journal
we've
had.
As
you
probably
know,
some
papers
have
closed,
and
so
we
have
spent
the
last
money
publishing
because
those
papers
are
no
longer
available
to
us.
M
So
I
suppose
that's
a
positive
from
our
standpoint,
but
maybe
a
loss
from
our
community
I
had
won
a
pretty
important
issue
that
came
up
over
the
last
two
weeks.
We
have
had
fraud
on
our
general
attacks
operating
account,
which
is
our
largest
account,
and
what
happens
is
it's?
You
would
think
it
would
be
very
difficult,
but
it's
actually
not.
What
they've
people
have
learned
to
do
is
pull
a
check
from
the
mail,
see
a
routing
number
see
our
account
number
and
create
a
fake
check.
M
So
that
was
discovered
and
in
our
jury
account
and
in
tax
operating
jury
account.
You
know,
any
kind
of
fraud
is
important,
but
the
balances
in
that
account
are
never
that
large,
but
in
the
other
account
they
are.
We
probably
had
about
15
to
20
checks
presented
over
the
last
two
weeks,
some
from
Alabama
some
from
California
I,
think
they
get
in
these
networks
and
they
sell
these
numbers.
M
M
When
you
do
a
check
run
you
when
that
check
run
goes
to
the
bank,
you
will
forward
an
electronic
file
to
the
bank.
That
says
these
are
the
checks
in
the
check
run,
and
these
are
her
they're
read
into
and
for
what
amounts,
if
are
check,
if
a
check
is
presented,
that's
not
on
that
positive
pay.
She
it's
not
it's!
It's
automatically
rejected
the
bigger
banks
are
going
to
this,
obviously
because
of
the
fraud
that's
out
there.
M
So
we
will
do
this
as
a
matter
of
course,
we've
already
started
doing
it
on
two
accounts:
we're
training
today,
and
this
will
be
a
matter
of
policy
in
my
office
and
then
we
will
roll
this
out
to
everybody
else
in
the
county.
As
time
goes
on
and
there's
some
questions
about,
you
know
at
the
jury
account
you
know
pulling
that
file
out
because
it
asked
a
file
has
to
come
out
of
your
system
in
a
certain
way
before
mattad,
because
every
bank
has
their
own
way.
They
like
it.
M
Well,
there's
six
or
seven
standards,
I
guess,
but
the
good
news
is
it
was
caught
and
the
better
news
is
it's
not
gonna
happen
again
because
we
are
on
top
of
it
and
and
we'll
be
dealing
with
it
on
a
go-forward
basis,
but
it's,
but
it's
out
there
so
and
and-
and
you
have
to
imagine-
jury
sends
out
hundreds
of
checks,
the
jury
account
and
they're
all
in
the
mail
in
a
simply
open
one.
You
have
everything
on
there.
M
I
A
A
N
Good
morning
everybody
a
couple
things-
probably
most
importantly
nrn,
the
the
EAP,
the
Employee
Assistance
Program,
that
it
needed
talked
about
and
Michael
ins
talked
about
very
important
for
our
employees,
especially
those
in
law
enforcement.
But
in
addition
to
all
of
our
county
employees
because
of
things
that
are
happening
out
in
society,
I
mean
things
happen
and
it
obviously
happens
more
in
law
enforcement
areas
and
then
others,
but
we
are
fortunate
to
have
it.
I
know
our
department
has
utilized
it
and
we
encourage
it
for
our
employees.
N
N
N
N
We
do
have
a
little
bit
of
a
concern
with
our
local
numbers.
Our
local
numbers
continue
to
increase,
and,
quite
honestly,
we
can't
figure
out
why,
because
of
the
bail
reform
and
things
like
that,
that
we
thought
would
certainly
reduce
our
local
population.
It
hasn't
so
we
continue
to
work
with
our
state's
attorney
locally.
We
provide
programs
internally
inside
the
jail,
and
so
you
know
the
idea
is
in
spite
of
what
people
may
think.
We
don't
want
to
keep
people
in
jail.
We
want
people
out
and
being
productive
and
taxpayers
and
contributing
to
society.
N
So
we
will
continue
to
work
on
that.
I
do
have
a
meeting
set
up
with
our
state's
attorney
to
talk
about
options,
so
those
are
certainly
things
that
we
will
continue
to
work
on,
but
you
should
be
aware
that
part
of
our
cost
and
our
budget
as
our
local
population
increases
so
to
our
local
cost,
so
those
are
obviously
significant
costs
for
us.
So
questions
on
that
part
of
it.
A
F
N
I
would
agree
on
top
of
that
with
with
the
full-time
PD
focusing
strictly
on
on
those
cases.
Those
types
of
cases
would
would
certainly
be
benefit
along
with
probation,
which
I
believe
is
starting.
Some
pretrial
release
things
that
would
also
help
you
know.
Part
of
the
problem
is,
and
you
know
people
don't
understand
what
happens
when
you
know
somebody
gets
out
of
jail,
whether
they
post
bond
or
whatever,
or
if,
in
this
case,
probation
supervises
them
if
they
don't
show
up
to
court.
N
That
creates
a
whole
nother
workload
for
everybody
in
our
system,
and
we
end
up
from
from
the
judges
to
the
clerk's
to
the
state's
attorney
to
the
public
defenders
to
our
office
to
the
circuit
clerk's
office,
everybody.
But
nobody
takes
that
into
consideration
when
these
people
are
getting
out
of
jail,
not
showing
up
to
court,
I
mean
everybody
laughs
about
warrant
Wednesday
and
nobody
wants
to
end
up
on
war
on
Wednesday.
N
But
you
know
the
success
rate
of
war
on
Wednesday
is
75%
success,
but
that
cost
money
cost
money
not
from
art
only
from
our
department
but
from
everybody's
department,
because
we
had
to
put
these
people
out.
There
paperwork
goes
from
the
circuit
clerk's
office
to
can
come
to
us.
Our
officers
are
out
there
and
it
also
puts
our
officers
in
a
dangerous
situation.
N
How
many
times
have
you
seen
recently
where
officers
are
going
to
a
house
to
serve
a
warrant
and
it
have
getting
killed,
I
mean
that's
reality,
and,
and
so
every
time
there's
a
warrant
issued
and
the
burden
is
placed
on
local
police
to
go.
Get
this
individual
we're
at
risk,
and
so
you
know
those
things
are
certainly
a
burden
on
us.
But
you
know
again,
it
is
what
it
is.
I
mean
we'll
continue
to
fight.
We.
N
N
One
other
issue
on
our
report
that
that
is
certainly
an
important
issue
for
us
and
that
is
traffic
fatalities.
I've
addressed
this
at
the
criminal
justice
committee
for
those
of
you
that
that
have
heard
this
I
apologize
but
I
think
it's
important
to
remind
people.
Last
year
in
2018
countywide,
we
had
nine
fatalities
due
to
car
accidents
this
year
in
October
or
whatever,
before
Halloween
we're
at
22,
and
that
is
that
is
an
issue
for
us,
certainly
something
that
we
are
focusing
on
those
you
know
in
the
confusion.
N
I
think
lies
somewhere
that
they're
not
all
on
county
roads,
but
every
road
in
our
county
is
what
I
consider
a
county
road.
So
you
know
we
are
focusing
on
dangerous
intersections
where
these
things
are
happening.
Common
occurrences-
and
you
know
I-
can't
remind
people
enough
that
you
know
they
need
to
pay
attention
when
they're
driving
I
mean
I,
don't
know
how
we
get
that
word
out,
other
than
continue
to
write
tickets
for
using
your
cell
phone,
but
you
know
that's
not
going
to
stop
it.
N
So
we
are
working
on
that
with
some
local
legislators,
local
communities,
local
fire
chiefs
and-
and
we
will
continue
to
identify
those.
Obviously
the
goal
is
to
get
that
down
to
zero
and
we
will
continue
to
try
and
reach
that
goal
so,
but
I
thought
you
should
be
aware
that
it's
been
a
bad
year,
fatality
wise
on
our
roadways.
N
That's
all
for
the
report,
the
other
and
any
questions
on
that
or
lat.
My
last,
my
only
other
issue
is
our
vehicle
requests.
As
you
may
recall,
the
criminal
justice
committee,
your
committee
and
the
County
Board
approved
us
to
purchase
cars
vehicles
and
when
we
went
to
order
the
vehicles
the
Tahoe's
have
been
ordered.
There
is
no
issue
with
the
Tahoe's,
however,
the
Dodge
trucks
that
we
thought
we
were
going
to
save
all
this
money
for
and
I
think
my
month.
N
My
personal
feeling
is
that
dodge
realized
that
the
price
they
gave
us
was
they
weren't,
probably
making
any
money
off
it.
So
they
are
not
making
those
trucks
this
year,
we're
assuming
they're
gonna
make
him
next
year,
but
we're
not
sure-
and
the
second
thing
we're
not
sure
of-
is
the
price
we
knew
what
the
price
was
this
year.
We
don't
know
what
the
price
is
next
year,
so
I
went
out
and
saw
another
option
that
were
still
cheaper
than
Tahoes,
but
obviously
more
expensive
than
the
dodge
trucks
and
those
were
Ford
Explorers.
N
N
A
B
J
Thank
you,
sir.
Before
the
sheriff
got
down,
I
want
to
mention
in
the
budget.
We
have
a
revenue
number
of
12
for
my
Corrections,
that's
that's
a
projection
on
you
know
and
we
basically
full
house.
If
you
will
I
just
remind
the
committee
that
that
that
number
floats
it
could
be
more.
It
could
be
a
little
less
so
I
just
wanted
to.
J
K
A
A
B
A
C
C
So
anyway,
you've
got
the
email
reported
or
the
the
claims
report
emailed
to
you.
We've
got
what
our
recommendations
are
already.
I
won't
belabor
that
point,
insofar
as
the
content
and
so
forth
of
the
report
we
had
intended.
So
unless
there
are
any
specific
question
about
the
claims
report,
I
will
just
move
right
along
since
the
hour
is
far
spent.
A
I
You,
mr.
chairman
Jake,
hello,
good
morning,
I
have
a
question
for
you.
Yes,
simply,
yes,
or
no
in
three
years,
been
audit
been
auditor.
Have
you
come
across
any
illegal
fraudulent
for
missing
money's
in
your
audits?
How
many
a
lot?
It's
just
a
simple!
Yes
or
no!
Have
you
found
any
activity
that
you
would
have
to
refer
to
an
outside
source,
potentially
I.
C
C
A
C
C
It
is
our
goal
to
provide
more
transparency,
accountability,
efficiency
through
not
only
the
budgetary
process,
but
also
how
the
county
reports
to
the
voting
public,
the
way
in
which
they
use
their
money
and
an
interactive
solution,
but
you
can
I,
will
send
out
some
information
ahead
of
time
regarding
OpenGov,
it
is
a
program
that
many
other
counties
are
using
and
the
state
of
Illinois
the
treasurer's
department
uses
as
well.
Peoria
County,
Kane
County
are
two
counties
in
particular,
and
it's
used
across
the
country.
A
A
J
J
May
remember
that
we
established
the
tax
rate
for
both
the
rural
and
municipal,
the
county
tax
rate
for
the
rural
in
municipal,
in
the
event
that
they're
in
the
rural
area
that
the
we
we
still
have
to
vote
on,
whether
we're
going
to
allow
that
or
not
that
was
established
at
3%.
We
established
point
seven
five
for
the
municipal
areas.
We
had
to
send
that
into
I
believe
was
Congress
yeah
Department
of
Commerce.
J
They
came
back
and
said:
oh,
we
changed
the
law,
you
can
get
up
to
3%
in
the
municipalities,
and
so
it
was
the
the
the
desire
of
the
committee
last
month
to
bring
this
back
on
something
we
could
vote
on.
The
basic
question
is:
is
would
you
like
to
amend
to
that
original
ordinance
to
say
they're,
both
three
percent
or
I
mean
it
will
take
to
take
the
municipal
one
to
three
percent.
So
that's
really
the
only
question
on
the
table
right
now.
The
other
question
will
be
debated
at
the
full
board
meeting
in
November.
J
By
the
way,
mr.
chairman,
if
I
well,
yes,
it
can
be
any
number
between
0.75
and
3.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
3.
I
just
want
to
mention
that
as
well.
If.
A
You
think,
mr.
Washington
years
same
three,
the
second
same
three,
all
right,
so
that's
determined
any
discussion
on
that
I
know
the
hour
is
late.
I
would
make
a
couple
of
comments.
I
think
that
as
we
move
along
in
this
Finance
Committee
needs
to
look
closely
at
what
is
going
to
be
our
treatment
of
the
money
that
we
receive
in
terms
of
revenue
under
this
occupation
tax.
