Thank
you,
I
have
no
requests
for
public
comment.
Are
there
any
desire?
Do
any
public
comment?
Anyone
want
to
do
any
public
comment.
If
not,
we
have
no
presentations,
we'll
move
to
approval
of
the
minutes
for
April
24.
These
are
motion
to
approve
mr.
Swanson
mr.
Bern
seconds.
Any
discussion,
our
approval
of
the
minutes
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed,
nay,.
E
F
I'll
be
received
a
draft
copy
email.
We
professionally
like
to
let
Smith
County
dijkstra
Nome
go
first
and
do
their
required
communications
that
close
out
communications
for
the
2018
audit.
So
without
further
ado,
I'll
introduce
Marcy
Kohlberg
and
Carmen
Huizinga
from
Smith
cowling
Dykstra
known
to
share
with
you
their
communications.
G
Today,
I
handed
out
a
packet
of
some
highlights
and
some
excerpts
from
the
draft
financial
statement
report
from
the
draft
comprehensive
annual
financial
report.
If
you
do
not
have
a
copy
of
those
I
believe
Devlin
has
extra
copies
in
the
back,
so
he
can
raise
your
hand
or
he
can.
He
can
get
you
a
copy
of
those.
G
What's
in
front
of.
You
is
first
off
our
opinion
on
the
financial
statements,
so
essentially,
we've
been
hired
to
give
you
an
opinion
on
your
financial
statements
on
whether
those
financial
statements
are
materially
correct
and
we
did
issue
an
unmodified
opinion
on
all
of
the
various
opinion
units
in
in
your
governmental
entity.
So
that
basically
means
it's
a
clean
opinion.
G
G
It's
our
report
on
internal
control,
over
financial
reporting
and
on
compliance
and
other
matters
based
on
an
audit
performed
in
accordance
with
government
auditing
standards.
You
are
required
to
have
your
audit
performed
in
accordance
with
government
auditing
standards.
Some
smaller
entities
may
not
have
to
have
that
requirement,
but
you
do
so
if
we
find
any
deficiencies
and
internal
controls
over
financial
reporting
that
we're
required
to
report
those
would
be
found
in
this.
G
In
this
letter
to
you,
we
did
have
two
findings
and
the
explanation
of
those
findings
is
attached
in
that
packet
that
you
have
we've
been
in
contact
with
the
department
heads
which
those
effects,
and
they
have
already
implemented
their
corrective
action
plans
or
are
currently
implementing
their
corrective
action
plans
on
those.
So
if
you
have
questions
on
those
feel
free
to
call
our
office
or
those
individual
department,
heads
or
Steve's
office
or
mr.
wheeler,
any
of
us
can
answer
questions
about
those.
G
G
G
We
also
perform
a
single
audit
in
accordance
with
the
uniform
guidance.
So
your
entity
receives
money
that
has
passed
through
from
federal
agencies
and
we're
required
to
select
certain
grants
to
audit
for
compliance,
and
we
selected
the
WIC
grant
at
the
health
department
and
the
Workforce
Investment
grant
here
at
the
county,
and
we
look
at
the
federal
compliance
requirements
related
to
those.
We
had
a
couple
of
minor
compliance
findings
with
the
WIC
program
and
again,
those
are
being
handled
by
the
health
department
and
they've
been
implementing
their
corrective
action
plans
on
those
I
believe
mr.
G
McCarty
sent
out
an
electronic
copy
of
the
draft
financials.
They
are
about
a
hundred
and
sixty
pages
long.
So
it's
a
very
long
document,
so
I'm
sure
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
read
it
cover-to-cover,
but
we're
just
gonna
go
through
some
of
the
highlights
of
that
and,
as
you
all
know,
the
county
has
definitely
turned
a
corner
and
you
have,
for
the
last
two
years,
definitely
been
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I
think
that
makes
it
a
lot
more
pleasant
for
everybody
to
come
to
these
meetings.
G
So
just
a
couple
of
indicators
that
you
have
been
was
moving
in
that
positive
direction.
We've
seen
significant
increases
in
the
fund
balance
and
the
general
fund,
the
tort
fund
and
the
pension
funds.
Since
fiscal
year
16
there
was
a
two
million
dollar
increase
in
those
combined
funds
in
fiscal
year
17
and
almost
3.3
million
dollar
increase
in
fiscal
year
18
so
combined
in
the
two
years.
It's
gotten
up
5.3
million
dollars.
G
It
appears
that
county
has
definitely
made
positive
steps
to
be
able
to
reduce
the
interfund
borrowing.
A
large
amount
of
the
receipts
into
the
county
are
for
restricted
purposes
and
the
general
fund
for
the
past
several
years
has
been
borrowing
these
just
to
operate.
The
general
fund
owed
six
point:
six
million
dollars
to
other
funds
as
of
November
30
17.
That
amount
was
reduced
to
four
point:
three
million
at
eleven
thirty
of
18
in
the
big
packet
of
financials.
If
you
want
the
details
on
which
funds
ohoo
that's
in
no
twelve
footnote
12.
G
G
The
county
is
still
issuing
text,
anticipation,
words,
but
that
has
kind
of
stabilized
in
FY,
17
and
FY
18
well.
In
February
of
18
in
February
of
nineteen
2.5
million
dollars
were
issued
each
of
those
years.
In
the
past
it
was
questionable
whether
the
county
would
even
be
able
to
secure
enough
ta
WS
to
get
through
your
cash
flow
issues,
but
now
it
appears
that
the
short-term
financing
will
be
available
for
the
next
few
years
as
needed.
G
Another
positive
indicator
is
that,
as
of
now,
all
outstanding
union
contract
contracts
have
been
settled.
The
reason
this
is
important
is
it
because
is
because
it
allows
the
county
to
maintain
budget
control
throughout
the
next
couple
of
fiscal
years.
It's
a
lot
more
predictable
as
to
what
your
costs
may
be
related
to
personnel
when
all
of
those
contracts
are
settled.
G
Another
significant
factor
in
FY,
18
well
and
FY
17
was
the
county's
agreement
with
Will
County
regarding
the
juvenile
detention
center.
This
had
a
significant
impact
on
increasing
the
general
funds
position
in
both
years,
and
it
will
continue
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
cash
flows
in
the
future.
Since
you
are
receiving
a
credit
back
for
those
basically
bed,
rentals,
that's
not
cash.
That
has
to
go
out
the
door
in
your
operations.
G
All
of
that
being
said,
the
county
should
continue
to
diligently
work
to
find
sustainable
solutions
to
reduce
both
the
interfund
borrowing
and
the
use
of
the
tax
anticipation
warrants
and
most
likely,
this
will
primarily
be
through
control
and
reduction
of
expenditures.
Most
likely
there's
not
a
lot
of
extra
additional
revenues
sources
out
there
for
the
county,
so
expenditure
reduction
is
probably
your
your
most
likely
way
to
accomplish
this.
G
In
the
annual
financial
report,
there's
a
section
called
management's
discussion
and
analysis.
It
is
a
bit
lengthy,
but
that
is
written
by
the
finance
department
and
it
basically
explains
the
highlights
of
the
financials.
It
explains
the
different
sections
of
the
report
and
it's
a
little
bit
more
in
lay
language
rather
than
technical,
financial
terms.
So
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
read
through
that.
G
These
were
the
first
years
since
2011
that
the
fund
balance
increased
in
the
general
fund,
so
you've
had
two
years
in
a
row
now,
after
several
years
of
decline,
the
highway
fund
is
also
a
major
fund
in
the
audit
report.
They
did
have
excess
expenditures
over
revenues
for
the
past
two
years,
but
the
highway
fund
does
have
a
healthy
fund
balance
to
cover
any
deficit
spending
that
they've
had
the
remaining
governmental
funds,
which
there's
about
50
of
them
have
also
moved
in
a
positive
direction.
G
Overall,
if
you
look
at
them
all
together,
and
one
other
highlight
is
that
overall,
the
cash
in
investment
position
has
also
increased
in
FY
18,
compared
to
FY
17
for
the
governmental
funds
in
FY
17.
It
was
thirteen
point
six
million
in
FY
18
as
of
11:30.
It
increased
to
17
point
four
million,
and
this
was
all
while
reducing
errors
and
accounts
payable
by
800,000.
So
it
wasn't
because
payables
were
sitting
out
there
open,
so
the
cash
position
did
increase.
So
that's
that's
good
news.
G
Basically,
the
biggest
new
thing
that
you'll
find
in
the
financial
statements
this
year
that
hasn't
been
in
there
in
the
past
is
some
new
reporting
requirements
and
new
calculations
for
other
post-employment
benefits.
So
those
will
be
discussed
by
marci
and
those
were
implemented
under
a
new
standard
issued
by
the
Gatsby.
H
Here,
mostly
for
moral
support
for
Carmen,
but
I
will
cover
this
new
footnote.
Your
other
post-employment
benefits
at
the
county
has.
Can
you
guys
hear
me
am
I
good?
Is
your
health
insurance
that
is
right
is
offered
to
IMR
F
retirees
IMR
F
requires
you
that
if
you
have
a
health
plan
that
once
an
I
am
RF
retiree
retires,
they
can
stay
in
the
health
plan.
It
can
be
at
their
cost,
but
they
are
allowed
to
be
in
that
plan.
So
you
do
have
an
other
post-employment
benefit
plan
this
year.
H
There
is
new
calculations
on
the
way
that
that
future
liability
is
calculated
and
it
did
result
in
an
additional
5.1
million
dollar
liability
that
we
had
to
add
to
the
entity.
Wide
Carmen
has
been
talking
the
funds.
This
would
be
an
entity
wide
adjustment
only
which,
in
your
big
packet,
is
going
to
be
the
first
to
financial
statements
in
the
packet.
So
you
will
see
that
the
liabilities
went
up,
5.1
million,
so
your
fund
me
or
your
net
position.
H
At
the
end
of
last
year's
audit,
we
reported
a
thirty
eight
point:
seven
million
dollar
net
position
and
the
governmental
funds.
There
are
new
governmental
activities.
It
was
reduced
to
thirty
three
point:
six
because
of
that
Restatement.
There
is
a
lot
of
information
in
note,
11
on
that
and
I
mean
pages.
It
talks
about
what
the
benefit
is,
who
qualifies
for
the
benefit.
H
You
actually
do
a
couple
of
different
scenarios
based
on
union
contracts
on
what
the
county
pays
versus
what
the
retiree
pays
is
that
the
retiree
can
be
I
am
RF
says
that
the
retiree
can
pay
the
whole
amount
of
that
benefit.
Some
of
your
union
contracts
are
a
little
bit
different
than
that,
so
that
is
detailed
in
there.
H
It
gives
you
I
said:
there's
six
or
seven
pages
of
information
on
that
as
far
as
health
costs
and
future
trends
and
all
of
that,
but
an
actuary
does
determine
that
liability,
and
that
is
what
is
new
here.
You
have
in
the
past,
recorded
a
liability
for
that
benefit,
but
the
calculation
changed
significantly
so,
like
I
said
there
was
a
5.1
million
dollar
change
in
that
calculation.
As
of
the
end
of
17,
that
runs
through
the
net
position,
I
like
Carmen
finish
up
here,
Thank
You,
Marcy
I
did.
G
Neglect
to
point
out
that
I
included
in
your
packets,
apart
from
the
statistical
section
of
the
kafir',
called
the
fund
balances
of
governmental
funds
for
the
last
ten
fiscal
years.
So
you
can
see
there
the
general
fund,
the
pension
fund,
the
highway
fund.
This
general
fund
on
this
report
does
combine
the
tort
fund
in
with
it,
but
it
yeah.
So
you
can
see
like
in
2014.
There
was
a
negative
fund
balance
of
3.6
million,
then
a
negative
4.3
million
and
they
get
a
good
4.2
million,
and
then
we
start
to
increase
in
2017
and
18.
G
G
I'm
gonna
focus
a
little
bit
on
the
entity,
wide
financial
statements
that
Marcy
referred
to
so
in
the
kafir'.
The
first
two
statements
called
statement
and
net
position
and
statement
of
activities
are
a
high-level
overview
of
the
county.
So
it's
all
funds
come
buying
together
governmental
activities
and
then
business
type
activities.
G
Your
governmental
activities
are
all
your
governmental
funds.
The
business
type
activities
is
only
the
animal
control
and
980
SB
fund,
but
what's
different
on
the
entity,
why
is
it
has
a
different
measurement
focus,
so
it
looks
at
all
liabilities,
all
receivables
that
are
in
all
capital
assets,
all
long-term
debt.
Everything
that's
out
into
the
future
as
much
as
can
be
measured
and
as
much
as
is
known,
whereas
the
fund
financial
statements
are
really
focused
on
a
current
focus,
where
it's
just
looking,
maybe
at
the
next
60
days
or
the
next
year.
G
So
you
you,
don't
record
any
revenues
that
you
receive
60
days
past
the
prior
fiscal
year-end,
because
they're
really
not
available
to
be
used
to
fund
current
operations
for
that
year,
but
on
entity
wide
it
encompasses
everything
the
other
difference
there
is.
It
shows
everything
by
function.
On
that
statement
of
activity,
so
you
have
your
basic
functions
of
general
government,
Public,
Safety,
court
services,
health
and
welfare
transportation,
and
on
these
financials,
all
expenditures
have
been
allocated
to
their
proper
functions.
So
a
big
difference
is
on
the
general
fund
budget.
G
For
instance,
you
may
have
the
various
departments,
but
then
you
have
a
utilities
department
and
you
have
an
insurance
department
and
you
have
a
pension
fund.
Well,
these
departments
and
funds
cover
all
of
the
functions
and
on
the
entity
wide
we're
taking
those
and
out
well.
The
finance
department
gives
us
that
information,
but
in
the
financial
statements
all
of
those
expenditures
are
then
allocated
back
to
their
functions.
G
So
on
that
statement,
if
you're
looking
at
the
transportation
function
or
the
court
services
or
the
public
safety
function,
all
the
pension
costs
all
of
the
depreciation,
all
of
the
insurance
costs
utility
costs
are
all
allocated
back.
So
there's
a
graph
in
color
in
your
packet
called
net
expenses
by
function,
and
what
this
shows
is
a
trend
for
the
past
five
years,
and
one
thing
you
can
see
clearly
on
that
is
in
the
public
safety
fund.
G
Well,
first,
I'll
go
back
net.
Expenses
are
all
of
the
revenues
that
can
be
allocated
directly
to
a
function,
less
their
expenses,
so
really
you're,
almost
always
going
to
have
more
expenses
than
charges
for
services,
because
the
government
really
can't
recoup
their
services
without
taxing
somebody.
So
net
expenses
are
the
amount
that
end
up
having
to
be
funded
by
taxes
and
other
general
revenues.
So
if
you
look
at
the
public
safety
graph,
you
can
see
kind
of
that
direct
result
of
the
additional
charges
for
services
that
they've
received
for
the
ice
revenues.
G
The
ice,
inmate
housing,
so
their
net
expenses,
the
amount
that
needs
to
be
charged
by
or
funded
by,
taxes
and
general
revenues
has
decreased
by
a
couple
million
dollars
in
the
last
couple
years.
So
that
frees
up
general
revenues,
then
to
fund
other
governmental
functions
and
just
to
know
there
are
expenditures
in
those
entity
wide
financials
that
are
also
not
recorded
on
the
fund
financials.
Some
of
those
like
Marcy,
mentioned
the
OPA
there's
pension
costs
that
are
a
lot
of
actuarial
estimates
and
things
like
that.
So
I
just
thought.
G
G
Those
were
basically
the
financial
highlights
that
I
wanted
to
point
out.
We
also
perform
a
separate
audit
on
the
circuit
clerk's
office.
That's
required
by
the
office
of
the
administrative
courts
in
the
state
of
Illinois,
there's
some
compliance
testing
that
we
do
there
and
then
some
financial
information,
that's
also
included
in
that
report.
Any
of
those
internal
control
findings
have
already
been
discussed
with
the
circuit
clerk
and
I.
Don't
have
the
final
final
process,
but
it
is
complete
and
finished.
G
The
final
report
will
actually
be
done
most
likely
today
or
early
tomorrow
and
then
we'll
get
filed
with
the
proper
regulatory
bodies
by
the
31st.
That's
when
it's
required
to
be
finalized,
then
the
county
will
have
to
fill
out.
The
annual
financial
report
on
the
comptroller's
website
and
the
data
collection
form
for
the
single
audit
will
be
submitted
to
the
federal
audit
clearinghouse.
So
those
are
kind
of
the
last
pieces
for
the
audit
that
will
be
completed.
I.
A
A
I
I
H
It
would
be
that
may
make
it
go
down.
Is
this
I
am
penchant
a
no
peb?
Those
numbers
vary
so
greatly
from
year
to
year
and
they're
allocated
among
all
the
functions
that
that
in
and
of
itself
could
cause
a
decrease.
It
could
cause
a
big
increase
all
the
way
across
the
board.
It
just
depends
on
performance
by
the
investments
at
the
Aymara
with
the
MRF
fund
and
what
projections
of
medical
costs
etc
are,
and
those
numbers
can
leap
million
to
million
dollars.
It
would
be
allocated.
H
G
G
Basically,
the
proceeds
from
that
sale
are
down
in
general
revenues
and
not
up
in
court
services,
even
though
they
relate
to
court
services
so
and
in
the
prior
year.
The
credit
that
you
got
back
for
those
services
were
included
in
court
services
revenues
so
that
there
was
a
little
bit
of
an
anomaly
there
to
show
it
show
that
court
services
jumped,
but
in
reality
it
kind
of
didn't.
But
it
looks
a
little
strange
on
the
graph.
B
G
K
G
G
F
F
So
basically,
what
we
wanted
to
do
today
is
gonna
piggyback
on
the
good
news
and
the
FY
18
kapha
report
that
we
just
went
over
and
add
the
current
trend
of
FY
19
to
that
picture,
and
so
that
everyone
can
see
how
the
trend
is
continuing
continuing,
as
as
the
trends
that
we
see
right
now
in
FY
19.
So
we
put
some
information
in
your
packet
as
well
as
on
the
screen
for
everyone
to
look
at
and
there's
with
great
pleasure
to
be
able
to
share
with
you
the
first,
the
graph
of
the
general
fund.
F
F
Week
long
to
be
able
to
say
those
words,
it's
been
a
long
time,
so
the
information
in
your
packet
and
the
the
graph
you
know,
obviously
tells
a
big
story
and
then
the
fund
balance
totals
the
fund.
Balance
totals
also
share
the
trend
for
the
three
major
funds
that
we
have
been
discussing
so
in
the
2018
report
and
what
was
referred
to
you
can
see
that
all
three
for
the
first
time
and
four
years
all
became
positive
in
2018
as
reported
20:18
capper
and
then
in
2019.
F
The
general
fund
will
also
be
positive
sitting
on
its
own
and
then
the
combined
number
there
are
3.5
million
in
total.
So
those
are
the
estimated
year-end
fund
balances
as
of
right
now,
with
the
trend
that
we
see
and
wrapping
that
up,
some
very
important
notes.
Carmen
mentioned
the
trend
in
the
last
two
years.
If
we
take
three
years,
including
the
trend
of
2019
into
the
picture,
it's
now
a
7.5
million
change
in
fund
balance
between
the
general
fund
toward
pension
in
the
and
3
years,
including
FY
19.
F
In
the
trend
that
were
on
that's
just
mind-boggling,
to
be
able
to
say,
7.5
million
dollars
and
3
years
changed,
so
the
the
ripple
effect
of
that
we're
going
to
get
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
to
show
you
some
of
that
with
our
cash
flow
update,
but
the
the
borrowing
has
been.
It
continues
to
go
down
less
borrowing
in
total
dollars
in
the
length
of
time
over
here
is
as
we're
all
aware
of,
and
then
the
the
significant
change
in
the
outstanding
accounts
payable.
Many
of
you
recall
the
struggle
we
had
with
that.
F
You
know
being
honor
and
30
plus
days
out
and
now
we're
within
30
to
45
days
consistent
as
we
talked
today
so
and
then
brand-new
news.
As
the
current
trend
continues,
we
will
not
be
needing
any
early
property
tax
distribution
in
2019
for
the
current
year.
We
are
able
to
continue
as
we
are
and
then
well,
as
I
said,
will
discuss
what
we
can
possibly
do
with
that
money.
The
the
early
distribution
in
the
past
has
been
used
to
pay
down
our
as
the
accounts
payable,
grew
into
through
April
into
May
and
early.
F
So
so
that's
a
quick
highlight,
but
a
very
important
one
to
be
able
to
share
with
with
the
committee
and
for
those
that
have
been
around
all
these
years
and
lived
through
2013
through
current
date.
All
of
you
really
can
understand.
You
know
how
important
and
how
happy
yeah
we
all
can
feel
about
this
information,
but
it
is.
It
is
great
news
if
we
say
we're
positive,
but
you
know
we
also
the
it
would
go
back
to
the
graph
one
more
time.
F
If
you
don't
mind,
I
left
on
the
early,
that's
25
2005
through
2008
years
and
I
left
them
on
specifically
as
a
reminder,
it's
great
news
and
a
great
feeling
to
be
able
to
you
know,
pause
at
this
moment
and
have
a
good
feeling
to
be
out
of
the
hole,
but
we
also
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
you
know
$685,000
fund
balance
is
not
a
great
financial
position.
At
the
same
time,
it's
not
a
perfect
position
to
be
in.
We
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
F
M
M
Been
on
the
going
back,
like
you
said
the
last
few
years
and
being
a
member
of
the
group
of
five,
and
we
were
talking
just
the
other
day
about
how
we
anticipated
10-15
years
before
even
saw
anything
like
this.
So
it's
accredited
everybody
involved
from
then
till
now,
and
heads
departments
and
employees
and
count
all
over
the
county
that
see
where
we're
at
we're,
not
in
the
woods
yet,
but
it
just
speaks
volumes.
M
J
Kind
of
a
question:
I
sorry,
if
I'm
gonna
put
you
on
the
spot,
Steve
and
I'm,
looking
I
look
at
these
numbers-
and
you
talked
about
you
know
us
not
needing
to
use
a
dist
early
distribution
to
pay
off.
You
know
pay
down
our
payables
and
I
know
that
it
isn't
our
plan
we're
going
to
be
getting
squared
away
with
the
highway
department
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
because
we
know
we
have
to
pay
down
that
and
ER
that
interfund
borrowing.
J
But
that's
part
of
this,
this
model
that
he's
looking
at
I
see
an
opportunity
and
I,
don't
know
if
it's
just
for
through
the
trees
and
if
it's
legitimate
or
not,
but
is
there
a
possibility
or
even
a
probability
that
taking
into
account
we
don't
really
know
what
the
circuit
clerk
is
gonna
mean
as
far
as
the
reduction
in
fees?
You
know
it's
about
six
hundred.
Eighty
thousand
dollars
roughly,
if
it
is
thirty
percent
of
that
goes
away,
has
to
be
paid
out
of
the
general
fund
per
year.
J
F
Actually,
looking
down
the
road
I
believe
for
sure
we'll
be
able
to
go
down
and
the
TW
zand
it's
actually
for
the
first
time.
Starting
to
that
thought
has
come
to
my
mind
about
potentially
not
doing
it
TW
next
year,
but
we
still
have
a
lot
of
information
to
process.
You
know
we're
looking
down
the
road,
but
we're
getting
to
that
picture.
A
lot
quicker
than
you
know,
then
what
we
expected
as
well,
so
there
is
a
outside
possibility
of
for
sure,
lowering
it
and
possibly
not
having
a
TW
next
year
for
cash
flow
purposes.
F
That's
a
tremendous
thing
to
be
able
to
even
start
to
contemplate
and
and
have
that
possibility
to
to
look
forward
to
so
it
looked
like
it
was
going
to
be
three
or
four
years
out,
and
it's
looking,
you
know,
as
things
are
going.
Hopefully
we
can
keep.
You
know
the
trend
going
and
and
be
able
to
do
that
so
as
well
as
pay
back
the
highway
funds
as
well.
F
F
The
next
section
packet
is
our
regular
monthly
updates
for
the
major
tax
funds
and
the
bad
rental
program.
The
one
that
really
jumped
off
this
month
bring
your
attention
to.
Is
the
income
tax
number
believe
it's
the
largest
at
least
through
2011,
on
this
on
this
sheet
very
surprising,
but
that
money
is
in
the
bank
five
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
dollars
distribution
in
one
month.
A
B
F
Yeah
there
were
some
reports
what
I
heard
that
the
governor
was
changing
some
of
what
they
were
doing
for
their
pension
and
stuff
due
to
the
income
tax,
and
that
came
out
before
so
I
was
a
little
curious
to
see
what
what
was
going
to
take
place
and
then
this
this
large
amount
showed
up
within
a
week
or
so
of
that
information.
So
we'll
see
how
that
trends
out
here,
the
rest
of
the
year.
The
use
tax
is
also
coming
in.
F
Are
they
I'm
sorry
well
use
taxes,
but
the
the
p
brt,
the
personal
property
replacement
tax
is
also
on
that
is
coming
in
higher
than
training
higher
as
far
as
the
year
than
what
we
expected
it
to
many
information,
the
other
we
had
when
we
budgeted
so
we'll
see
how
that
one
continues
to
trend
right
now,
so
it's
all
I
had
now.
Someone
has
a
specific
question
on
that.
Any.
F
Nigel
move
the
cash
flow
will
be
on
the
FY
2019
cash
flow
analysis
also
included
FY
18,
just
if
you
know
for
for
retrospect
and
trend
change
if
anyone's
interested
than
that.
But
you
can
see-
and
under
may
of
nineteen
estimated
in
June
under
the
the
inflows
of
the
third
line
down
the
property
tax
distribution,
we
had
two
million
dollars
sitting
there
previously.
If
you
recall
we
have
now,
you
know
taking
that
out,
we
expect
the
early.
The
first
distribution
I
should
say
first
distribution
sometime
early
July.
F
We
also
have
our
TW
payback
that
the
first
one
is
in
July,
then
the
other
one
in
September,
so
we're
showing
through
the
first
couple
of
distributions
here
and
also
then
under
outflows,
a
highway
payback,
the
the
first
year
of
a
three-year
plan
to
pay
highway
back.
So
basically,
what
I
did
is
up
the
property
tax
distribution,
so
move
the
two
million
over
to
July
roughly.
F
These
are
still
estimates
and,
as
you
can
see,
if
you
look
down
that
our
estimated
ending
cash
balance,
the
last
line,
my
thought
is
for
this
year,
as
we
are
crossing
this
new
bridge
here.
Looking
at
these
possibilities
is
to
pay
down
the
TA
W
early
and
save
approximately
fifteen
to
eighteen
thousand
dollars
of
interest,
because
we
didn't
need
the
early
distribution
to
pay
outstanding
bills,
so
we'll
pay
down
and
save
money
on
interest.
So
that's
I
did
not
show
that.
F
Yet
in
this
analysis,
but
in
showing
you
know
in
the
flow
of
things,
you
can
see
that
you
know
we
with
seven
point
estimated
seven
point:
eight,
roughly
you
know
million
dollars
in
the
bankers
of
July
that
we
could
easily
pay
off
the
remaining.
You
know:
million
four
of
the
ta
W
listed
there
at
the
top
row
of
the
outflow,
so
I
just
wanted
to
connect
the
dots
if
you
will
and
in
the
thought
process
and
it
all.
F
You
know,
everything
relies
on
that
bottom
line
of
flow
cash
flow
you
know
and
and
what
would
what
we
you
know
can
do
so.
I've
got
this
out
another
three
years
as
an
estimate
this
this
model,
and
you
know,
and
that's
where
I'm
starting
to
plug
in
moving
forward
and
looking
at
what
next
spring
you
know,
may
look
like
to
get
through
in
in
what
dollar
amount
or
not.
F
You
know
that
we
may
or
may
not
need
for
the
TW
for
for
next
year,
so
so
that's
kind
of
initial
thought
as
we
as
we're
progressing
here,
you
know
to
save
money
instead
of
spending.
You
know
the
the
the
interest
rate
and
you
know,
and
the
reason
we
had
to
stretch
it
out
originally
when
we
went
through
the
extreme
cash
flow
situation
is
because
we
had
to
use
the
the
earliest
parts
of
the
distribution
to
pay
back
to
pay
off
our
outstanding
accounts
payable.
F
F
So
it's
a
lot
of
information.
We're
covering
a
lot
of
ground
today,
I
know,
but
there
any
questions.
Anybody
have
any
questions
at
this
point
and
if
you
think
of
some
other
questions,
feel
free
to
contact
me.
You
know
down
tomorrow
this
afternoon.
If
something
comes
next
week
be
happy
to
discuss
it
with
you.
E
F
Still
prepare
the
the
preparation
is
to
line
those
up
is
to
get
the
the
next
tax
levy
in
place.
I
usually
do
that
around
September
October
area
and
then
that's
in
place
and
then
that's
the
next
tax
levy
would
be
if
we
were
to
take
the
TW.
That's
what
we
put
that's
what
the
lien
goes
on
is
the
next
each
levy,
so
the
process
will
be
it'll
be
in
place.
If
we
need
it,
you
know
I
mean
and
everything
will
be
in
place
as
we
as
we
watched.
You
know
the
flow
heading
into
that
time.
F
F
So
that's
that's
what
I
wanted
to
share
with
the
committee
and
how
you
know
how
it's
progressing
down
to
the
the
cash
balance
as
well
as
the
plan
you
know
with
highway
funds
as
the
interfund
borrowing.
You
know,
we'll
still
have
interfund
borrowing
for
a
few
years.
Yet,
even
if
we
stopped
at
caw,
but
that's
that's
not
as
expensive
for
us
as
the
tea
aw.
So
mr.
F
They
we
had
a
short
conversation
with
them
after
the
fy17
julie
august
area
that
they
have
us
on
their
radar
screen.
So
I'm,
not
aware
of
that
will
change
at
this
point
would
possibly
be
around
August,
but
they
they
kind
of
take
from
what
I
heard
and
they
seem
to
be
taking.
The
approach
with
us
is
they're,
quick
to
drop
and
they
are
slow
to
raise
and
yeah.
F
F
Board
and
part
of
those
funds
also
were
were
stolen
by
the
individual.
The
workforce
board
has
no
other
funding
source
other
than
federal
grant
money,
so
we
cannot
use
current
federal
grant
money
that
they
administer
to
pay
back
something
like
this,
so
the
county
is
also
responsible
for
that
five
thousand
three
hundred
seventy
four,
so
the
total
is
three
thirty,
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
two
dollars
and
we
Sherman
wheeler,
wanted
to
make
sure
it
came
before
the
committee.
So
we
can
answer
any
questions
and
you
know
make
sure
the
board
was
aware.
F
B
M
You,
mr.
chairman
I
realized
it's
five
years
old,
but
had
there
been
checks
put
in
place
to
keep
this
from
happening
again
and
have
the
people
who
were
overseeing
this
department
then
talked
to
or
been
who
was
overseeing
this
to?
How
did
this
get
caught?
I
mean
I.
Guess
that's
relevant
questions
that
so
it
doesn't
happen
again
and
do.
F
You
know
what
happened
yes,
the
workforce
board
has
this
was
a
workforce
for
an
employee
and
they
have
put
in
in
their
fiscal
policy
and
procedure
manual,
additional
checks
and
balances
so
that
there
needs
to
be
multiple
signatures
on
checks
and
so
that
one
person
and
at
at
this
particular
time
this
one
person
was
doing
deposits
writing
checks.
There
was
no,
there
was
no
segregation
of
duty
and
that's
where
they
started.
You
know
playing
around
writing
checks
to
themselves
basic.
So.
F
F
F
I
J
J
There
is
insurance
now
at
this
moment
in
time,
though
yeah
there
was
an
and
and
to
speak
into
mr.
burns
point.
There
was
a
rather
exhaustive
series
in
the
newspaper,
written
by
a
very
talented
reporter.
That
was
explaining
this
whole
scheme
that
this
employee
had,
and
it
was
quite
elaborate.
She
was.
She
was
good
in
a
bad
way,
so
you
know
they've
since
changed
their
procedures.
Like
you
said,
signatures
on
checks,
other
people
checking
them
not.
The
same
person
is
doing
the
bank
reconciliation,
that's
right
in
the
checks,
so
they
they
have
fixed
their
problem.
J
B
C
J
There
is
a
I
guess,
a
reason
why
planning
we
wanted
finance
to
see
this,
because
this
is
just
a
quarterly
update
on
the
finances
of
the
transportation
program
if
it
was
something
that
was
just
for.
You
know
about
ridership,
and
things
like
that.
That
would
pertain
to
the
to
the
PCA
committee,
but
I
thought
that
this
committee
should
at
least
just
see
the
report
and
I
believe
it's
part
of
yeah
I
dad
has
mandating
that
we're.
Just
aware
we
not
to
vote
on
anything.
J
B
F
F
B
B
J
J
A
question
what
why
why
did
this
not
have
going
to
this
conversation
have
to
come
here
instead
of
happen
in
between
the
the
auditor's
office
and
the
sheriff's
office?
Why
did
we
have
to
have
the
frankly
substantial
cost
of
having
this
come
before
this
committee
for
a
dollar,
seventy
five
or
whatever
in
tax
I,
yeah.
A
B
J
B
C
B
F
Second,
one
further
note:
it's
a
chase
credit
card
activity
and
further
note.
The
bottom
looks
like
auditor:
Lee
was
referring
this,
that
it
did
not
come
to
the
Finance
Committee,
so
it
appropriate
to
do
so
so
we're
bringing
it
before
the
Finance
Committee
as
well
I
believe
some
of
his
activity
like
choose
the
bring
before
the
committee.
So
this
is
to
do
that
further
note
at
the
bottom,
a.
B
C
A
A
A
B
O
Aye,
you
probably
can
notice.
The
report
has
changed
a
little
bit,
I
think,
especially
during
this
time
of
collection.
What
I
wanted
to
do
and
I
had
spoken,
I
think
the
one
of
the
one
of
the
ideas
came
from
mr.
Kinzinger
just
gives
a
little
bit
more
information
about
where
the
money
is
coming
in
from
drink
collection.
Obviously
we're
running
a
month
behind
on
that,
so
you'll
see
it.
Pop
second
thing:
I
wanted
to
talk
about
was
collection
is
in
full
force.
The
final
due
date
is
on
the
20th
of
June.
O
O
It
seems
this
year
just
anecdotally
that
we're
taking
a
lot
more
mail
payments
and
a
lot
more
online
payments
and
a
lot
more
early
payments.
Maybe
that's
a
function
of
the
economy
that
people
are
paying
earlier
than
they
have
in
the
past.
I
suspect
we'll
still
have
our
July,
our
June
19th
and
June
20th
state
so
be
full
I
guess.
O
The
third
thing
I
have
I
wanted
to
I
know
it's
been
in
the
paper
and
I
wanted
to
clarify,
because
it
seems
like
it's
been
a
moving
target
with
the
CVB
and
how
that
money
is
collected.
It's
collected
through
my
office,
the
occupancy
tax
and
historically
that
money
through
our
intergovernmental
agreement
goes
from
my
office
to
the
CVB.
O
That
asked
me
to
go
ahead
and
pass
that
money
through
to
the
CBB
as
they
were
going
to
ask
for
it
and
because
that's
what
the
intergovernmental
agreement
said
so
today,
as
of
today,
the
money
is
flowing
to
the
CBB,
as
it
always
has,
and
my
understanding
is
that
they
are
going
to
ask
grow
it
themselves,
and
my
operation,
obviously,
is
just
a
ministerial
operation.
I
collect
it
and
send
it
out.
O
O
P
So
I
would
also
like
to
give
credit
to
mr.
Byrne
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
people
don't
realize
when
you're
talking
about
taxes
and
real
estate,
taxes
is
that
everybody
blames
the
county
for
their
taxes
and
mr.
Byrne
put
his
real
estate
taxes
out
on
face
book
and
after
laughing
at
him,
because
he
had
to
pay
so
much
money.
P
If
you,
if
you
look
at
you,
know
who
gets
paid,
what
very
minimal
dollars
from
your
from
everybody's
real
estate
tax
bill
actually
comes
to
the
county
and
I
think
it's
so
easy
to
just
say
all
the
counties
getting
all
this
money
for
real
estate
taxes.
My
taxes
are
X
amount
of
money
and
the
county
gets
all
that
money
and
no,
we
don't
and
I
think
that
was
a
credit
for
you
to
you
for
putting
that
out
there
and
baring
your
soul
on
Facebook.
So
some
things
you
do
see
on
the
internet
are
true,
so.
P
So
a
couple
things
that
our
monthly
update
are
in
some
of
these
things:
I
reported
to
the
criminal
justice
committee.
Our
local
numbers
continue
to
stay
up,
and
because
of
that,
we
did
return
the
inmates
that
we
were
housing
for
Cook
County.
We
did
return
them
back
to
Cook
County,
the
total
I
think
when
we
returned
them
all
was
I,
think
15,
he
no
13,
so
it
wasn't
a
huge
hit,
but
nonetheless
we
did
return
those
to
Cook
County.
Our
relationship
with
Cook
County
is
still
good.
P
P
We
had
more
problems
when
the
government
shut
down
getting
our
money
than
then
we
did
from
Cook
County,
so
I
credit
to
them
or,
like
I
said
our
relationship
is
still
good
and
you
know
if
we
ever
need
to
do
business
with
them
again,
I'm
sure
that
they
will
be
able
to
on
either
side.
So
one
other
thing
and
mr.
Olaf
asked
us
in
the
criminal
justice
committee
meeting
about
criminal
offenses
with
our
ice
detainees
and
I
do
have.
P
Some
of
you
may
have
seen
the
article
about
criminal
offenses
and,
of
course,
regardless
of
the
information
we
provided,
there's
still
people
out
there,
they
say
well
ice
classifies.
Crimes
is
different
and
you
know
there's
always
some
excuse
but
form
a
as
we've
been
tracking
this
since
May.
First
for
the
detainees
that
we
get
back
from
Chicago
and
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections.
As
of
yesterday,
our
number
was
82%
of
those
that
we've
received
back.
Have
criminal
offenses
an
18%
are
non
criminal
or
illegal
entry,
but
remember
the
one
thing
about
illegal
entry.
P
P
P
So
as
we
have,
as
we
have
said
to
you
before,
we
have
started,
there
is
going
to
be
a
radio
upgrade
that
is
going
on
throughout
our
County.
We
are
switching
over
from
what
we
have
right
now
to
a
digital
system,
and
that
will
benefit
us
a
number
of
ways,
probably
most
importantly,
with
our
communication
throughout
the
state
we're
going
to
what's
called
Starcom,
which
is
what
the
Illinois
State
Police
use
and
the
benefit
of
Starcom
is.
P
P
P
Wait
to
make
the
first
payment
after
the
first
year
and
that
ends
up
costing
us
about
six
thousand
dollars,
as
opposed
to
making
the
first
payment
upon
signing
of
the
contract.
That
saves
us
about
six
thousand
dollars.
The
number
in
the
chairman
and
I've
talked
about
this.
It's
gonna
be
contingent
upon
whether
we
want
to
go
five
or
seven
years,
and
that
is
certainly
up
to
this
committee.
Based
on
the
numbers
that
you
see
in
front
of
you.
P
Can't
imagine
that
yeah
I
know
we
laugh
that
seven
years
we
would
be
out
of
date,
these
radios,
that
we
have
now
trying
to
think
we
were
still
down
in
the
old
building,
I
want
to
say
it
was
99
when
we
I
mean
these
are
20-year
old
radios
that
we
started
with,
so
it
does
last
a
while.
But
you
know
if
we
want
to
get
this
taken
care
of
in
five
years
as
opposed
to
seven.
That's
certainly
up
to
you
guys.
P
J
P
Again,
our
departments,
the
coroner,
the
probation
office,
animal
control,
these
radios,
if
you
look
at
these
cost
sheets
in
the
cost
for
the
radio,
the
price
of
other
radio
of
a
portable
radio
is
three
thousand
twenty
six
dollars
the
because
of
the
mass
purchase.
Those
radios
are
15
hundred
dollars,
so
virtually
half
price,
so
these
prices
I
believe,
are
good
through
May
of
2020,
if
I'm
not
mistaken
after
May
of
2020,
this
five
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
dollar
purchase
becomes
1
million.
Well,
multiply
it
by
two.
So.
F
P
C
P
C
P
J
P
B
C
P
The
last
thing
on
my
agenda
is
the
declaration
of
surplus
vehicles.
Do
they
have
those
those
we
have
a
96
1996
Ford
Crown
Vic,
1998
Chevy
s10
in
the
2002
GMC
envoy
that
have
been
seized
through
criminal
activity?
They
have
all
gone
through
the
process
through
the
courts
and
are
ready
to
be
declared
surplus
and
sent
down
to
Clinton
to
the
auction.
We.
B
C
A
C
J
P
You
I
had
one
more
thing,
but
actually
I
got
an
email
now,
I
have
two
more
things.
While
I
was
sitting
back
there
watching
Steve
gloat
about
everything
going
good.
So
right
now,
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
we
have
added
a
security
officer
at
the
annex
building
which
houses
probation
in
the
public
defender's
office.
P
This
is
certainly
a
manpower
issue
for
us.
The
cost
to
call
overtime
for
us
to
put
an
individual
down.
There
is
about
53
dollars
an
hour
which,
throughout
the
years
about
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
if
you
do
standard
math
of
2080
hours
times
at
53,
the
cost
of
additional
deputy
with
benefits
and
everything
is
about
$90,000.
We
want
to
make
you
aware
that
we
are
going
to
have
a
person
down
there
every
day,
Monday
through
Friday,
and
that
will
have
an
impact
on
our
patrol
budget.
P
P
it's
610
pages,
and
apparently
they
have
till
Friday
to
vote
on
it.
It's
still
not
good.
We
will
continue
to
look
into
it,
but
unfortunately,
as
most
of
you
in
here
know,
this
thing
is
going
to
get
crammed
down
our
throats
and
will
have
an
impact
on
on
everybody
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
That
will
will
be
almost
unfathomable,
but
that's
what
our
governor
wants
to
do.
So,
just
a
heads
up,
mr.
McCoy.
B
P
P
B
J
Did
forget
about
this?
You
know
in
one
word
we're
doing
the
the
group
hug
stuff.
We
forgot
a
couple
of
people,
I,
think
all
of
our
labor
partners
came
to
the
table
and
we
all
work
together
to
get
longer-term
arrangements
that
we
talked
about
employees,
that's
a
big
deal.
They
realize
what
a
spot
we
were
in
and
we
were
all
in
together.
I,
don't
know
if
that
happens,
like
it
happened
here,
we
got
like
seven
agreements
done,
I.
J
Think
in
a
matter
of
a
couple
of
months
and
everybody
kind
of
went
with
the
same
deal
that
was
unique
and
then
you
know
we
we
did
some
things
here
on
the
board
level.
You
guys
do
some
things
out
on
your
end
of
town
too,
and
we
appreciate
all
that
you
guys
do
and
the
Sheriff's
Department,
because
other
counties
don't
have
revenue
lines
on.
You
know
beyond
citations,
it's
just
a
cost
of
the
county
for
more
than
recouping
our
cost,
and
and
it's
it's
not
unnoticed.
We
appreciate
that.
So.
Thank
you.
J
The
other
thing
I
would
mention
is:
is
that
with
with
added
locals,
there's
added
cost
so
I
would
caution
the
board
not
to
look
at
just
the
cost,
the
expense
side
of
Corrections
and
attribute
that
to
just
that
side
of
things,
because
we're
I
won't
say
historic
highs.
But
recent
history,
weren't
highs,
I'm
lower
highs.
J
That's,
although
that's
that's
just
money
that
is
absorbed
by
the
budget,
I
would
expect
that,
hopefully,
to
start
to
go
down
when
people
figure
out
that
we
are
actually
prosecuting
everybody,
who's
committing
crimes
these
days
and
there's
no
free
pass
on
that
stuff.
So
again,
thanks
for
all
your
work,
I
appreciate.
P
Well,
I
appreciate
that,
but
that's
you
know
we
got
a
great
staff
and
that's
who
gets
the
credit
deserves
the
credit.
But
the
one
thing
to
remember
in
the
surprising
part
for
all
of
us
was
when
they
passed
bond
reform.
We
thought
well
that's
going
to
reduce
all
of
our
local
inmates
and
it
hasn't
I
mean
that
it
really
hasn't,
and
that
was
that's
a
surprise
to
us.
P
I
mean
it
was
a
big
surprise
to
us
so
yeah,
the
ones
we
have
and
as
I've
told
this
committee
and
the
criminal
just
committee
before
we
work
with
the
state's
attorney
weekly
about
trying
to
get
the
people
who
don't
belong
in
out
of
jail
because
that's
obviously
the
goal
of
you
know
any
new
crime
bills.
You
see
I
mean
we
don't
want
people
spent
staying
in
jail
if
they
don't
have
to
be,
and
you
look
at
some
of
these
people.
Housing
and
I
mean
they're
right
where
they
belong.
Q
Thank
you.
The
other
day
at
the
criminal
justice
committee
meeting
I
talked
about
how
my
office
is
having
a
hard
time,
keeping
up
with
the
work
that
we
have
and
so
I
did.
Some
historical
research
and
I
also
came
up
with
an
idea.
So
let
me
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
the
history.
In
2009
we
had
50
employees
which
were
comprising
44,
full-time
and
6
part-time,
and
that
included
the
chief
deputy
and
the
circuit
clerk
through
attrition.
Q
We
now
have
36
full-time
and
0
part-time,
and
that
still
includes
the
chief
deputy
in
the
circuit
clerk
in
2009.
There
were
three
minute
clerks
fully
dedicated
to
the
Traffic
Division.
Now
there
are
only
two
and
we
have
two
courtrooms
in
2009.
There
were
four
floater
minute
clerks
and
a
supervisor.
Now
there
are
three
because
of
the
recently
added
position
that
I
was
able
to
get
through
the
new
budget
increase
that
you
allowed
me
to
have
the
two
extra
people
in
2009
there
were
16
clerical
assistants.
Q
Now
there
are
11,
there
were
six
part-time
employees
and
one
senior
that
raped
the
senior.
That
was
a
thing
through
the
city.
I
think
I'm
not
sure
how
we
had
her.
She
was
there
before
I
became
clerk,
but
anyway
we
had
six
part-time
employees
on
one
senior
who
were
able
to
do
the
work
that
the
11
clerical
assistant,
supervisors,
chief,
deputy
and
I
now
have
assumed
the
felony
court.
Ruminant
clerks
are
right
around
two
months
behind
the
traffic
court
minute
clerks
are
also
about
two
months
behind
and
in
the
traffic
court.
Q
Specifically,
dispositions
are
supposed
to
be
sent
to
the
Secretary
of
State
within
five
days,
and
that
doesn't
happen
in
our
world.
The
small
claims
court
minute
Clerk
is
news.
She
started
in
February
she's
done
a
really
good
job
learning
the
position
quickly,
so
she's
doing,
while
keeping
up
with
that
high-volume
courtroom
as
well.
Q
One
of
the
things
that
I
thought
about
when
I
was
going
through
this
historical
thing
we
had
what
else
do
I
want
to
tell
you
about
that
in
the
collections
division.
At
one
time
we
had
a
supervisor
and
two
collection
specialists
and
a
couple
of
the
clerical
assistants
were
like
in
that
department.
Well
then,
we've
gotten
Harrison
Harris
to
do
most
of
it
and
we
quit
having
a
court
a
collections
court.
Q
Well
now,
since
we
have
a
new
state's
attorney,
we
have
another
collections
court
again,
so
that
causes
another
clerk
to
go
to
court
and
with
all
of
the
attrition
and
the
promotions
that
I
did
with
the
other
Clerk
I
filled
the
administrative
assistant
to
the
chief
deputy,
so
I
lost
a
collection
specialist.
Well,
we
really
need
to
have
another
collection,
specialist
moved
into
that
position
and
I
have
someone
that
I
would
like
to
promote
into
that
position.
Who
does
some
of
the
collection
work,
but
she
also
does
mean
we're
in
in
the
main
office.
Q
Q
I
do
you
know
we
just
we
finally
hope
that
we've
hired
the
last
one
to
hopefully
stop
the
musical
chairs
that
we've
had
with
all
of
the
positions.
Lately
we
had
one
minute
clerk
that
left
after
three
weeks
because
it
was
more
work
than
she
expected,
so
we've
hired
another
one.
Then
we
had
another
one
in
the
main
office
who
left
after
two
weeks
because
it
was
not
the
job
she
expected
to
have.
So
that's
the
most
recent
hire
I
have
yesterday.
Q
J
A
Q
Q
M
You,
mr.
chairman
CBA
criminal
justice,
you
had
mentioned
that
there
are
times
you
have
five
employees
off
in
one
day.
Is
there
a
way
to
rectify
it
seems
heavy
and
staffing
problem?
That
seems
like
it's
a
prime
een?
Is
there
a
way
to
control
that
I
mean
you
need
bodies
and
is
their
way
through
control?
That
kind
of
were
hey.
We
get
it.
You
need
a
day
out,
but
you
need
to
draw
a
line
well,.
Q
Q
We
do
do
that,
but
when
people
call
off
sick
I
mean
there's
not
much
that
you
can
do
about
it
and
whenever
Brian
Gadbois
had
been
talking
a
couple
years
ago
about
you
know
in
the
bargaining
agreements
they
kept
offering
more
time
as
a
benefit
rather
than
pay,
and
even
he
was
saying
you
know,
there's
a
point
where
you
got
to
draw
the
line
because
we
can't
afford
to
let
all
those
people
off
you
know.
I
mean
I
only
have
three
people
that
can
go
to
court
when
out
of
ten
court
rooms.
Q
Somebody
might
not
be
there
and
then
those
that
they
don't
get
the
time
at
their
desk.
That's
why
there
are
two
months
behind,
because
they're
in
court
four
days
a
week
they
get
there
one
day
out,
but
that
one
day
out
is
not
enough
to
get
all
their
backlog
done.
I
mean.
There's
the
girls
in
the
office
have
said.
I
do
have
a
gentleman
but
the
the
ladies
that
I
was
talking
with
the
other
day.
M
That
they
could
probably
not
to
have
to
deal
with
that's
correct.
You
know
copying
stuff
and
bringing
on
those
type
of
people
that
can
make
the
retirees
looking
for
a
little
supplemental
income
correct
and
as
long
as
the
collective
bargaining
unit
agrees,
that
would
be
a
nice
way
to
maybe
have
flexed
a
fee
right.
Q
And
we
would
appreciate
that.
That's
why
I'm
only
asking
for
one
right
now
and
I
just
I'm
doing
it.
The
conservative
way
I
just
want
to
take
one
at
a
time
and
see
how
it
goes.
We're
praying
that
once
we
get
the
Civil
be
filing
integration
completed
that
that
will
alleviate
some
of
the
work
that
we
have.
That's.
Why
I
only
really
want
to
ask
for
one
right
now
that
we're
hoping
will
be
ready
to
go
in
July
and
with
the
new
advent
of
the
new
fee
and
assessment
structure.
B
B
A
B
C
B
L
Excellent
question,
mr.
chairman,
so
from
what
I
could
gather
that
was
basically
from
ETS,
be
there
were
some
transfers
that
had
taken
place
and
all
of
those
transfers
show
up
in
the
claims
report,
not
sure
the
details
behind
them
or
the
authorization
or
anything
like
that
that
doesn't
flow
through
our
office
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
we
put
our
disclaimer
on
the
report
as
well.
A
C
B
M
I
got
a
question:
I
piggy
bacon
on
mr.
Zen's,
asked
you
last
month
about
acquired
about
the
number
of
audits
done
and
I
had
questions
from
constituents
asking.
What
exactly
does
the
audit
entail?
How
do
you
select?
What
do
you
audit?
How
long
does
an
audit
take?
We
had
the
external
auditors
here
earlier
talking
about
some
two
departments
that
had
concerns
are
those
areas
that
you
would
be
looking
at
as
well,
how
with
other
red
flags
that
come
up
that
you
see
where
I
need
to?
M
L
Excellent
question,
mr.
Byrne,
so
they
vary
by
what
we're
looking
for
their
various
levels
of
audit.
Now
the
audit
that
the
external
auditors
do,
that
is
an
attestation
function
and
so
there's
a
different
level
of
procedures
that
are
involved
with
that
I
would
say.
The
first
thing
we
do
is
obviously
we
look
at
what
we're
required
to
do
by
statute
and
we
look
at
the
resources
that
we
have
in
terms
of
time
between
myself
and
the
one
other
employee
in
the
office,
and-
and
that
is
where
we
make
our
determination.
L
As
we
know,
we
do
have
ongoing
statutory
violations,
so
the
systemic
functions
procedurally
are
all
risk
areas
as
far
as
we're
concerned,
and
so
you
know
anything
that
comes
up
throughout
that
process.
We
tends
to
be
a
red
flag,
so
to
say,
I
will
go
on
to
say
as
far
as
the
how
long
they
take
they.
They
vary
by
what
we're
doing.
If
we're
just
testing
for
process,
you
know
whether
or
not
credit
card
receipts
are
accompany
the
charge.
You
know
that
that's
a
process
thing,
that's
administrative!
So
that's
not
going
to
take
very
long.
L
J
Sure
the
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
we
approved
the
intergovernmental
agreement,
which
is
basically
where
all
municipalities
agreed
to
forego
their
own
collecting
of
a
hotel/motel
tax.
So
the
county
can
levy
that
at
five
percent
and
then
distribute
that
money
to
the
CVB
since
they
have
modified
or
having
the
municipalities
have
the
option
to
modify
the
agreement.
So
they
could
read
the
municipalities
or
county
government,
as
it
were,
were
to
receive
a
rebate
of
1%
back
to
that
entity.
J
J
Think
a
lot
of
people
would
agree,
and
it
told
me
that
that
money
is
better
spent
in
the
hands
of
professionals,
to
pool
that
money
too,
support
the
attraction
of
visitors
to
the
area
and
then
to
continue
their
mission
in
the
manner
that
they
currently
do
business.
So
that
is
why
it
appears
on
the
agenda.
As
that
is
to
allow
me
to
sign
the
opt-out
clause
of
rebaiting
receiving
a
rebate
is.
