Description
Finance Committee Meeting 5/28/2020 9:00 AM
A
B
B
A
A
We
have
a
quorum,
so
we
have
anything
under
public
comment.
No
public
comment
today.
Our
first
item
of
business
is
a
presentation
from
nymec
they're,
our
company,
that
takes
bids
from
all
the
electrical
aggregation
companies
out.
There
brings
them
in
forward
to
us.
I
work
with
this
gentleman
to
go
through
the
bids,
the
recommendations
and
then
we
hone
those
down
to
some
options
here
for
the
finance
committee.
A
H
H
H
So
we
just
recently
just
this
morning,
actually
went
to
bid
and
let
me
just
kind
of
walk
you
through
what
we've
got
here.
The
current
comed
rate,
which
takes
effect
in
you
know
in
a
few
days
here
in
june
for
the
next
12
months.
It
actually
is
a
variable
rate
within
certain
bands,
and
so
up
at
the
top
of
the
screen
here,
you'll
see
that
the
common
rate
can
go
as
low
as
5973
and
as
high
as
7.633
that's
for
the
next
12
months.
H
We
only
know
12
months
at
a
time,
and
so
that's
what
we're
dealing
with
your
current
rate
here
in
the
in
the
beige
banner
coming
across
you're,
currently
with
dyna
g,
your
rate
is
six
point:
nine
five
cents
that
compares
favorably
the
current
combat
rate
is
around
seven
point,
one
five.
So
that's
above
the
comment
rate.
Actually
that's
below
the
comment
rate
and
again
we
have
built
in
a
civic
payment
back
to
the
county.
H
H
We
also
received
pricing
for
a
second
option,
and
this
option,
quite
frankly,
is
the
most
favorable
option
that
all
of
our
programs
that
have
renewed
in
the
last
year,
which
are
about
20
or
so.
I
have
taken
advantage
of
this
last
program,
because
the
comment
right
now
has
been
set.
You
know
much
closer
to
the
market
and
because
of
the
variation
in
that.
H
We
are
now
offering
a
a
second
product
where
we
will
match
the
comed
rate
identically
month
to
month
to
month,
for
residents,
so
to
be
clear.
There's
no
savings
for
the
resident,
there's
no
risk
that
the
comment
rate
would
actually
drop
down
underneath
the
combat
rate
under
excuse
me.
It
wouldn't
drop
down
under
your
program
right,
so
it
just
literally
matches
the
comment
rate
month
to
month
to
month
for
all
the
variations
we
would
match
that
identically,
and
so
why
would
we
do
this?
H
A
A
We
did
want
to
look
at
some
point
that
we're
underwater,
as
he
mentioned,
but
also
the
opportunity
to
maximize
the
revenue
for
the
county,
because
we
are
in
a
position
that
we
have
to
look
at
every
option
as
far
as
being
able
to
fund
operations
within
the
county,
with
the
the
current
knowns,
the
current
unknowns
and
then
what's
coming
later
in
this
year
and
then
down
the
road.
So
and
then
this
is
a
you
know:
a
12
to
36
month
agreement.
A
H
If
I
can
mention
two
more
things
annie
before
you
open
it
up
number
one,
the
425
000
is
an
annual
payment.
So
if
you
do
elect
a
multiple
year,
a
multi-year
program
that
would
be
425
annually
and
by
the
way
that
425
is
contractual.
It's
not
it's
not
a
volume
based,
it's
a
hard
contractual
number
and
I
had
another
point
but
I'll
bring
it
up
later
once
I
remember
it.
A
E
H
H
E
H
E
So
so
my
question
is:
in
order
to
come
up
with
that:
425
000
civic
payment.
You
must
have
some
idea
of
the
difference
between
the
comed
guaranteed
rate
and
what
you
can
buy
the
electricity
for,
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out.
What
is
that
average
cost
per
homeowner?
Is
the
homeowner
saving
three
dollars
a
month?
If
we
go
to
eligo
or
is
he
how
much
money
you
think
he's
saving
a
month?
Maybe
I
misunderstood
what
you
said.
H
H
Well
again,
they
state
a
rate
and
then
every
month
they
put
an
adjustment
to
that
every
month.
There
is
a
variable
adjustment
which
is
unpredictable,
so
we
use
last
month's
rate.
I
can
tell
you
I
can
tell
you
that
what
I
would
say
is
based
on
the
future
rates
that
comet
has
and
historical
adjustment,
just
historical.
H
H
That
state
agency
has
a
number
of
contracts
that
they
have
in
the
future
and
they
anticipate
what
the
usage
is
going
to
be.
However,
every
month
the
actual
usage
from
all
these
comed
users
changes
and
therefore
there
is
a
an
adjustment,
a
true
up
needed
by
that
agency.
They
cannot
match
the
future
use
exactly,
and
so
there
is
a
true
up,
because
the
state
of
illinois
doesn't
have
budget
capacity
to
absorb
that,
and
that
true
up
is
what
this
adjustment
is
on
a
monthly
basis.
H
No
all
I
can
tell
you,
is
historically,
it
can
range
from
a
credit
of
a
half
a
cent
up
to
an
extra
charge
of
a
half
a
cent
anywhere
in
between
there,
and
I
can
just
tell
you
over
the
last
four
years
it
has
been
approximately
a
credit
of
about
a
quarter
of
a
cent.
In
other
words
it
we.
So
if
the
comed
rate
were
7
cents,
the
credit
would
drop
that
down
and
bring
it
down
to
roughly
6.75,
and
so
that's
the
basis
that
which
the
adjustment
does
monthly.
A
A
You
know
the
the.
I
would
hope
that
the
the
committee
when,
when
a
motion
is
made,
considers
where
we're
at
and
the
responsibility
of
the
committee
is
on
finances
with
us,
not
knowing
what's
coming,
and
we
can
predict
that
we're
going
to
be
seeing
a
substantial
shortfall
when
our
tax
revenues
realize.
I
would
recommend
that
the
motion
may
consider
being
able
to
capture
any
revenues
we
possibly
can
as
long
as
the
taxpayers
are
not
on
the
hook
for
it,
and
this
rate
is
pegged
to
the
comed
rate.
A
So
that's
why
we
have
this
other
option
produced
for
you,
so
we
can
protect
their
rate,
keep
it
the
same
as
what
they
would
be
paying
on
their
own
and
use
our
buying
power
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
operational
resources
we
need.
So
with
that
I'll.
Take
a
motion
from
the
floor
on
a
recommendation
to
for
which,
for
one
of
these
two
programs,
the
fixed
or
the
alternate
aggregate.
A
Mr
washington,
that
we
accept
the
mc
square
is
there
a
second
of
that
motion
I'll?
Second,
mr
kinzinger,
any
other
discussion
on
that
matter,
all
right
and
the
reason
that
he
brought
those
rates
in
we
have
to
peg
the
rates
on
the
day
that
they're
offered.
So
that's
why
he
had
to
gather
up
these.
The
new
quotes
this
morning
because
it's
that
market
is
a
daily
market.
So,
as
far
as
one
question
I
have
with
the
mc
squared,
is
that
something
that
has
to
be
executed
immediately
or
does
that?
H
A
So
as
long
as
the
committee
understands
that
we
have
to
execute
that,
then
send
it
to
the
full
board.
This
is
a
little
different
than
everything
else,
because
you're
on
a
timeline
with
the
way
the
market
purchasing
has
to
work
so
we'll
be
sending
with
the
recommendation,
but
I'll
need
to
get
the
ball
moving
before
the
full
board
meeting.
It's
just
the
way
that
it
works
with
this
type
of
purchasing.

Those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
under
finance
department,
steve
mccarty.
Our
first
up
is
the
fy
2019
kaffir.
The
comprehensive
annual
financial
report
from
smith,
county
dijkstra
home
carmen
izinga
is
here
to
walk
through
things
with
us
and
she
has
the
ability
to
share
her
screen.
I
believe
now,
if
you
need
to
there,
you
go
floor,
is
yours
carmen.
A
L
Hi,
it's
it's
been
a
challenging
time
several
weeks
for
all
of
us,
but
I
am
happy
to
report
that
the
annual
financial
report
is
final.
We
do
have
a
report
in
proper
format
that
steve
can
get
submitted
to
the
regulatory
authorities
today.
He
doesn't
have
it
in
his
hands
yet,
but
it's
ready.
So
I'm
just
going
to
take
you
through
the
highlights
of
the
report.
I
think
you've
gotten
a
partial
draft
of
the
report.
L
I
will
tell
you
that
on
the
fund
financial
statements,
there
were
no
major
adjustments,
so
what
you
saw
from
the
finance
department
during
the
year
during
the
fiscal
year,
19
through
november
and
then
into
january
and
february
when
he
was
giving
those
final
numbers
to
you?
Basically
that
is
what
it
ended
up
being.
So
this
is
historical
knowledge
we're
six
months
into
the
new
fiscal
year,
but
I
will
just
go
over
a
few
of
the
highlights.
A
H
L
L
We
also
perform
our
audit
in
accordance
with
government
auditing
standards,
and
there
were
no
matters
of
non-compliance
required
to
be
reported
under
government
auditing
standards.
We
did
report
one
material
weakness
in
internal
controls
related
to
the
collector
fund,
and
that
was
basically
a
repeat
finding
from
last
year.
The
issue
from
last
year
was
partially
corrected,
but
not
100.
L
Percent
the
first
couple
sets
of
financial
statements
in
the
report
are
a
high
level
summary
of
the
county.
It
shows
governmental
activities
and
it
shows
business
type
activities
and
that
combines
all
of
your
funds
together
into
two
columns.
Basically,
it
excludes
fiduciary
activity
on
those
two
statements,
and
then
it
also
includes
items
like
depreciation
and
long-term
liabilities
like
your
pension
liabilities
and
those
things
are
not
normally
included
in
your
financial
statements
during
the
year.
L
Those
are
year-end
adjustments
that
are
done
for
financial
statement
purposes,
so
the
2019
net
position
ended
up
at
48.9
million
county
wide
compared
to
45.8
million
county
wide
net
position
is
a
measure
of
whether
the
overall
health
of
the
county
is
increased
and,
as
you
can
see,
it
did
increase
within
the
statement
or
within
the
net
position
number.
It's
made
up
of
three
categories:
there's
net
investment
in
capital
assets
that
was
45.4
million
in
2019,
compared
to
44.3
million
in
2018.
L
There
is
restricted
net
position.
Those
would
basically
be
all
your
special
revenue
funds
where
you're
either
levying
or
collecting
fees
that
are
restricted
to
certain
purposes
and
those
are
relatively
comparable
to
prior
year.
21.7
versus
20.5
and
then
the
last
number
is
the
unrestricted
amount
and
unfortunately,
that
is
still
a
deficit
amount
county-wide.
It
did
get
better
governmental
funds.
It
got
slightly
worse
if
you
just
look
at
the
governmental
activities.
L
L
One
significant
change
in
2019
compared
to
2018
was
in
the
long
term,
liabilities
category
that
went
from
36.4
million
up
to
54
million,
and
that
is
due
primarily
to
the
long-term
liability
related
to
pensions.
So
that's
an
actuarial
number.
It
is
booked
on
these
financial
statements
for
a
year-end
and
that
pension
liability
went
from
17.3
million
to
35.8.
L
I
I
thought
it
would
be
interesting
to
put
up
a
graph
the
statement
of
activities
is
that
is
kind
of
like
an
income
statement,
but
it
is
presented
in
a
different
manner
for
governments
it.
It
shows
it
in
a
net
expense
format,
so
it
starts
with
the
expenses
by
function
and
then
any
program,
revenues
that
come
in
for
those
functions
offset
those
expenses
and
then
the
net
expenses
that
are
remaining
are
funded
by
general
revenues
and
tax
revenue.
L
After
those
high
level
entity
wide
financial
statements,
you'll
see
in
the
report,
there's
fund
statements
and
they
start
out
with
the
governmental
funds,
and
these
consist
of
your
general
fund,
the
tort
fund,
the
pension
fund
and
then
highway
fund
and
all
the
remaining
special
funds.
Basically
on
the
financial
statements,
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
general
fund
is
combined
with
the
tort
fund.
L
So
that's
that's
a
good
move
in
the
right
direction,
and
I
know
that
was
the
goal
of
the
county
board
and
the
finance
department
and
all
the
department
heads.
So
that's
very
good
to
see.
I
understand
that
with
the
situation
right
now,
that's
a
little
bit
in
jeopardy,
but
I
know
the
board
is
taking
measures
to
maintain
that
financial
position
in
the
general
fund.
L
Last
year,
the
general
fund's
expenditures,
excluding
tor,
increased
by
2.1
million,
the
majority
of
that
increase,
consisted
of
vehicle
purchases
that
were
financed
by
leases,
and
then
the
public
safety
departments
as
a
whole
for
that
function
as
a
whole
increased
approximately
one
million
following
the
governmental
funds.
Financial
statements
are
the
enterprise
funds,
financial
statements
and
those
are
what
we
consider
the
business
type
activities
of
the
county.
So
that's
the
etsb
and
animal.
L
L
These
are
funds
that
held
or
maybe
managed
by
the
county,
but
they're
not
for
county
operations.
Those
are
usually
pass-through
funds
that
get
divvied
out
to
other
entities,
or
some
of
it
may
come
back
into
the
general
fund,
but
basically
those
are
monies
and
funds
that
are
held
on
behalf
of
others.
L
The
remaining
sections
of
the
report
include
the
footnotes.
There
were
no
significant
new
footnotes
this
year
in
the
financial
statements,
but
those
obviously
provide
a
lot
more
detailed
information
about
the
numbers
presented
on
the
financials,
as
well
as
the
accounting
policies
that
the
county
follows
following
that.
Are
budgetary
comparisons?
L
There's
combining
statements
to
show
all
the
all
of
the
funds
that
roll
up
into
the
ones
on
the
front
pages,
and
then
following
that
is
statistical
information
and
if
you've
never
looked
at
that
statistical
information,
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
so.
It
has
some
very
interesting
facts
about
our
county
and
about
the
tax
base
and
about
some
operating
statistics.
So
we
look
through
them
as
we're
putting
the
report
together
and
I
just
find
them
interesting.
So
I
would
encourage
anybody
to
take
a
look
at
those
and
then
also
in
the
financial
report.
L
The
finance
department
prepares
a
letter
of
transmittal
and
a
management
discussion
and
analysis,
and
that
that
provides
a
very
good
overview
of
the
county's
finances,
upcoming
economic
factors
and
just
a
good
overview
in
kind
of
non-accounting
language
of
those
county
financials.
So
definitely
I
would
encourage
you.
If
you
look
at
nothing
else.
I
would
read
that.
L
In
addition
to
the
main
financial
report,
we
also
perform
a
single
audit,
which
is
where
we
look
at
federal
or
compliance
with
federal
compliance
regulations
on
monies
that
are
originated
at
a
federal
source,
so
they
may
have
been
passed
through
the
state,
but
they
originated
at
a
federal
source.
So
this
year
we
looked
at
the
workforce
grants.
We
looked
at
the
wic
grant
at
the
health
department
and
also
looked
at
the
new
opioid
grant
at
the
health
department.
They
they
increased
funding
on
that
grant
quite
a
bit
this
year.
L
L
L
Those
are
required
under
our
governmental
auditing
standards
and
actually
under
general
auditing
standards
and
then
also
a
management
letter,
and
the
management
letter
consists
of
things
that
we
found
throughout
the
audit
that
we
just
feel
are
worthy
of
your
attention.
They
didn't
rise
to
the
level
of
a
formal
finding,
but
we
feel
like
it's
informative
and
we
want
to
be
transparent
with
anything
that
we
found
during
audit.
L
E
Question
yes,
mr
chairman,
yes,
mr
kensinger,
two
items,
first
of
all,
I
may
have
missed
it,
but
I
did
not
get
a
copy
of
your
report.
So
what
I'm
speaking
from
is
just
what
you
presented
this
morning
and
I'm
not
where
I
missed
that,
but
one
of
the
slides
that
you
presented
looked
at
interest
in
2009
as
a
higher
number
than
any
other
year.
A
L
L
L
F
A
A
A
A
F
B
G
B
F
F
L
Can
I
just
can
I
quickly
just
say
thank
you
to
everybody
for
their
assistance
with
the
audit
finance
department,
the
county
board
and
all
of
the
department
heads
they
do
spend
a
lot
of
time
helping
us
out,
and
I
appreciate
it
very
much.
We
get
a
lot
of
cooperation
and
that
makes
it
go
very
smoothly.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
A
M
M
A
M
A
A
N
Siroi
just
a
moment
there
you're
ours.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
does
the
does
mrs
laird
have
a
uniform
policy
like
the
sheriff's
department
for
animal
control?
That's
that's
my
question.
Maybe
she
could
come
up
with
one
and
you
know
because
I
feel
that
they
should
be
well
dressed
and
represent
themselves.
N
Some
of
the
animal
control
officers
have
uniforms,
such
as
the
sheriff's
department,
but
the
office
staff
should
have
some
kind
of
shirt
or
something
that
says
they're
where
they
work
at.
So
I
I
totally
agree
that
this
is
I'm
just
there's
only
one
shirt
that
should
have
five
because
there's
five
days
in
the
week
and
I'm
sure
they
can't
wear
the
same
shirt
every
day.
So
maybe
she
should
get
four
more.
You
know.
O
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
the
uniforms
that
that
animal
control
has
right
now
we
are
looking
at
options
that
will
benefit
animal
control,
while
they're
on
the
field
doing
their
job.
The
uniforms
they
have
now
are
a
little
heavy.
They
you
know
they
don't
wear
very
well
we're
trying
to
get
something,
and
I
think
the
issue
that
got
brought
up
was
that
they
can
wear
these
apparently
the
irs
rule,
and
I
may
be
wrong
in
it.
O
People
really
don't
walk
around
with
polos
or
badges
or
animal
control
badges
because,
quite
frankly,
that's
just
not
what
we
do,
because
we
don't
want
to
be
out
in
general
public
when
we're
not
on
duty
wearing
something
that
has
a
badge
on
it.
The
unfortunate
part
about
this
whole
thing
is
that
by
the
time
it's
gone
from
finance
to
auditor,
to
animal
control,
to
finance,
to
auditor,
to
animal
control
to
sheriff's
office.
L
N
Suggestion
in
in
it
was
brought
up
a
few
years
ago
by
a
former
board
member.
I
think,
john
howard,
that
there
was
some
there
was
something
happened
out
in
the
east
side
of
the
county,
involving
animal
control
and
the
animal
controls
officers,
look
too
much
like
police
officers
and
they
didn't
get
the
cooperation
that
I
think
they
would
have
got
if
they
would
have
been
clearly
animal
control
officers
instead
of
looking
like
sheriff's
deputies.
N
O
J
F
J
B
D
A
A
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
claims,
a
little
move?
We
have
motion,
mr
washington.
A
second
don't
move
mr
kinzinger
any
other
thoughts
questions
most
of
these
are
this
is
sent
out
early.
So
if
there
are
questions
we
could
try
to
get
a
hold
of
steve
or
myself
or
somebody
or
the
department
head
ahead
of
time,
but
they're
already
right
now.
Let
us
know
otherwise
we'll
roll
call
vote
this
as
well.
N
N
E
G
F
M
M
The
month
of
april
is
what
that
was
for
with
the
tax
filings
delayed
with
the
coveted
situation.
I
believe
some
of
that
will
come
back
at
a
at
a
future
month,
possibly
I
believe
I
moved
to
july.
If
I
remember
right,
so
we
hopefully
we'll
see
that
come
back,
so
I
don't
believe,
that's
a
necessarily
a
trend.
M
A
G
M
M
So
I
I
wanted
to
identify
that
for
you
and
if
you
know
we
look
at
that
trend
since
february
in
the
total
payroll
it's
about
225,
000
reduction
and
if
we
compare
it
going
all
the
way
back
to
december,
that's
a
300
000
deduction.
So
thanks
to
all
the
departments
that
are
working
to
watch
and
control
things,
I
believe
the
majority.
M
This
is
new
information.
I'm
trying
to
plug
in.
We
just
got
the
latest
payroll
done
last
just
two
days
ago
we're
trying
to
complete
the
kafir
with
skdo,
so
I'm
still
trying
to
get
into
all
the
all
the
details,
but
I
believe
the
majority
of
the
things
go
to
the
sheriff
and
his
department
and
his
staff
as
we
were
continuing
to
work
and
try
to
identify
all
these
trends.
So
there's
also,
you
know,
with
the
imrf
there's
also
a
reduction
in
imref
between
35
and
40
000
there
as
well.
M
So
as
we're
watching
all
of
this.
We
also,
you
know,
you
know
we're
picking
up
any
and
all
trends
that
we
can
and
then
it's
gonna
do
another
update
to
all
the
information
through
may
that'll
be
our
sixth
month
plus
we'll
pick
up
pre-covet
and
during
pulpit
activity,
as
you
know,
and
try
to
try
to
lock
in
on
every
single
thing
that's
going
on.
So
if
there's
any
questions
there,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
information
as
well.
A
M
A
A
P
I
think
everybody
has
been
especially
steve,
I
believe,
has
been
interested
in.
You
know
what
our
tax
payments
would
look
like,
so
I
was
hoping
to
be
able
to
give
you
a
trend,
but
maybe
the
fact
that
there's
no
trend
to
also
put
your
mind
at
ease
so
so
far,
the
first
two
days
we've
taken
in
just
about
six
hundred
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty
eight
five
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
238
transactions.
P
First,
two
days
last
year
we
took
in
1.7
million
with
842
transactions,
which
really
worried
me
until
I
saw
what
we
did
in
2018,
which
was
only
279
thousand
and
75
transactions.
So
I
don't
think,
there's
a
rhyme
or
reason
which
I
think
is
a
good
thing.
It
seems
to
be
just
from
an
anecdotal
sense,
pretty
typical
surprising
how
many
people
want
to
still
come
in
and
pay
their
taxes.
P
P
P
You
can
pay
your
payment
there
as
long
as
it's
not
with
cash
and,
of
course
you
can
always
pay
online,
which,
for
a
lot
of
people,
is
the
most
convenient
way.
If
you
pay
with
a
credit
card,
there
is
a
fee,
we
don't
derive
any
income
from
that
fee.
It's
through
the
credit
card
processor.
However,
we
did
this
year
because
of
covid19
have
our
check
processing
fee
waived,
so
you
can
pay
online
with
an
e-check
for
free.
P
So
another
issue
is
we're
going
to
try
something
different
this
year
and
I've
had
some
input
in
the
past
on
saturday
june
20th,
and
I
will
speak
with
the
sheriff
on
this
specifically
because
we'll
need
to
hire
an
off-duty
sheriff's
deputy
on
saturday
june,
20th
tentatively
right
now
between
the
8am
and
1pm
we're
going
to
be
open
here,
that's
the
that's
the
saturday
before
taxes
are
due.
I
think
it
gives
everybody
a
little
bit
extra
time
to
come
in
and
so
we'll
give
that
a
whirl
and
see
how
it
works.
P
P
P
So
I
wanted
to
to
leave
that
out
there
and
lastly,
I've
reduced
my
work
staff
from
three
full-time
people
to
two
and
instead
hired
part-time
workers
for
the
summer,
and
I
think
that's
probably
the
way
we're
gonna
leave
it
right.
Now,
based
on
the
uncertainty
in
the
financial
financial
uncertainty
with
government,
so
we
have
two
full-time
staff.
Now,
besides
myself
and
like
normal,
we
have
three
part-time
summer
helpers.
A
Only
the
only
thing
I'll
mention
nick
and
I
I
guess
could
have
talked
about
this
offline,
but
when
we
do
get
a
line
of
people
we
have
to
figure
out
which
direction
that
line
will
go
because
we
don't
want
everybody
aggregating
by
the
door
there.
So
we
may
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
flow
downstairs,
because
you
know
there's
going
to
be
a
couple
of
days
where
the
line's
going
to
be
out
the
door
so
to
speak.
P
P
But
I,
but
I
think
if
we
do,
if
I,
if
we
do
this
saturday
payments
frankly,
I
think
we
ought
to
be
looking
for
people
at
on
a
saturday
and
if
it
were,
because
maybe
we'll
do
with
more
than
one
saturday
per
second
payment
and
we'll
see
how
that
works.
I
I
just
the
only
issue
and
the
reason
I
mentioned
the
sheriff
is
I
don't
want
to
be
in
this
building
taking
payments
on
a
day
when
you
know
no,
one
else
is
around.
A
You
andy
sure
sure
and
todd
had
a
question,
but
it's
it
seems
to
me
that
the
more
we
encourage
people
to
go
to
the
banks,
except
for
obviously
pnc,
is
the
only
one.
I
believe
that
doesn't
do
this,
so
they
paint
the
bank,
then
they
don't
really
have
to
stand
in
line
with
30
40
people
on
those
days
sure
it's
much
easier.
Yeah.
P
You
know
what's
funny
because
you
you
try
to
you:
try
to
educate
the
customer
as
best
you
can
over
and
over,
but
I
will
say
it
is
so
easy
to
go
to
the
banks
and
the
service
that
they
provide.
Our
county
is
invaluable.
We
would
need
at
least
four
more
people
in
this
office
and
we
don't
even
have
the
space
down
here
to
take
it.
You
can
drive
in
their
drive-through.
P
You
can
deposit
your
taxes,
you
don't
have
to
have.
If
one
bank's
closer
than
your
normal
bank,
you
can
go
there
and
then
what
they
do
is
we
provide
pre-paid
envelopes,
and
so
every
friday
we
get
all
the
banks
envelopes
in
and
a
couple
banks
would
prefer
us
to
pick
them
up.
So
we
can
go
do
that
to
the
for
those
things,
but
it's
really.
It's
really
convenient
for
the
county
and
mostly
for
the
taxpayers,
so
sure.
N
Todd
you
have
something
yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
good
good
morning,
nick
hey,
I
remember
before
the
covet
thing
you
had
talked
about
for
your
high
volume
parcel
holders.
You
are
going
to
make
an
appointment
for
those
people
to
come
in
and
pay
their
taxes.
You
know
personally
and
have
you
tried
to
do
that
with
this.
P
P
I
have
todd,
but
I
will
say
to
this
group
specifically
and-
and
this
dovetails
with
what
I
just
said
about
really
when
someone
comes
in
here
and
you
hear
mostly
when
there's
a
complaint,
he
said.
Well,
I
put
that
in
the
newspaper
I
don't
say:
well,
I
put
it
online.
Why
don't
go
on
so
for
this
committee
for
this
committee
here
I
would
simply
say:
if,
yes,
absolutely,
if
you
have
a
you,
have
constituents
that
have
multiple
properties,
I
will
absolutely
take
them
in
an
appointment
situation.
P
P
Well
that
last
days
here
are
always
cash
days
too.
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
cash
that
comes
in
on
the
last
couple
days,
but
yeah
there's
people
people-
I
I
heard
it
yesterday
several
times.
This
is
the
way
I've
always
done
it.
It's
the
way.
I
like
doing
it.
Sorry.
What
do
you
say?
You
say?
Okay,
welcome.
A
D
Yeah,
I
just
have
a
quick
question.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Nick
thank
you
for
explaining
you
know
possibly
extending
out
for
people.
I've
had
a
number
of
people
reach
out
to
me.
I
think
you
and
I
talked
about
this
before
about
any.
You
know
helping
out
the
taxpayer
again.
Like
you
said,
a
lot
of
people
are
not
they're
gonna
pay,
but
the
extending
could
be
a
benefit
to
some
people
who
may
not
right
now
be
able
to
afford
it
or
waiting
on
something
to
come
in.
So
I
appreciate
that.
P
Well,
andy,
I
just
wanna
I'll
just
leave
it
at
this,
and
I
have
mentioned
this
to
andy.
I
think
you
know
I
I
think
from
a
legislative
standpoint.
The
board
has
to
make
some
moves.
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
I've
built
in
two
weeks
into
my
distribution
calendar,
so
no
one
will
get
hurt
if
we
extended
two
weeks-
and
I
just
think
that
that's
I
wanted
to
give
this
board
and
the
whole
board
flexibility.
A
A
A
Because
I
think
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
take
that-
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
parliamentary
procedure
opinion
on
this,
but
I
think
maybe
we
should
do
a
a
roll
call
vote
to
codify
the
three
years
part
of
this,
along
with
that
vote.
At
this
point
I
don't
know
if
nancy
is
still
on
the
phone,
but
you
find
that
sufficient
nancy
to
cover
our
bases
here.
A
C
C
A
M
D
G
A
O
O
O
Our
department
as
a
whole
has
done
great
work
in
dealing
with
this
pandemic,
not
only
from
a
police
and
corrections
standpoint,
but
emergency
services
standpoint.
We
have
been
able
to
obtain
a
number
of
ppe
for
a
lot
of
people
across
the
county,
so
I'm
very
proud
of
that
and
know
that
we'll
continue
to
provide
that
as
much
as
we
can
any
questions
on
that.
G
O
O
If
we
do
then
it'll
be
icing
on
the
cake,
but
at
this
point
they
are
kind
of
hedging
on
the
whole
negotiation
of
rates,
and
so
it's
still
kind
of
up
in
the
air.
But
at
this
time
we
have,
like
I
said,
15,
who
should
be
in
the
illinois
department
of
corrections
who
are
being
housed
in
our
facility.
So
questions
on
that.
O
O
O
O
We
were
under
the
impression
that
we
could
do
this
in
three
years
and
the
bank
has
come
back
under
the
advice
of
their
legal
counsel
and
said
they
can
only
do
it
for
two.
So
we
said
as
a
county.
We
cannot
do
it
in
two
years,
so
we
went
back
out
and
we
talked
to
one
of
the
other
vendors
who
submitted
a
proposal
to
us
and
who,
at
that
point
were
only
the
original
interest
was
2.5
percent.
O
A
D
O
A
O
A
C
Problem
yeah,
I
just
needed
to
know
what
they
finalized
and
in
the
resolution
there
is
a
portion.
It
is
correct.
There
is
a
statute
that
says
the
county
board
cannot
enter
into
a
loan
agreement
with
a
financial
institution
for
more
than
two
years.
However,
there
is
also
exception.
That
said,
the
county
board
can
do
installment
payments
for
up
to
10
years
for
personal
property
and
since
the
police,
the
shares
vehicles
are
personal
property.
We
can
go
up
for
10
years
on
an
installment
plan,
so
a
three-year
agreement
is
no
problem.

All
right
moving
on,
we
have
the
next
item.
I
think
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
is
an
intergovernmental
agreement
between
the
county
of
kankakee
and
the
village
of
hopkins
park.
The
the
board
may
know.
Mr
payton
knows
I've
been
working
with
oh
geez,
a
larger
group
of
people,
the
the
push
for
the
nicore
natural
gas
project
into
hopkins
park
is
still
moving
forward.
There's
multiple
bills
in
the
legislators
have
down
there.
A
A
So
at
this
point
we
probably
should
take
a
motion
and
then
we
can
get
into
any
more
questions
and
that's
mr
peyton
with
the
motion
and
then
the
second,
please
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry,
jackie,
mrs
haas.
Okay,
sorry,
I
had
my
whisperer
over
there.
Thank
you,
mr
sierra.
It's
tough,
I
mean
you
guys.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
know
that
you
got
all
these
brady
bunch
squares
on
the
the
screen.
Here
you
try
to
figure
out
who
said
what
it's
it's,
tough,
so
questions.
A
Pretty
cut
and
dried
it's
one
of
the
best
things
we
can
do
is
to
get
natural
gas
into
hopkins
park.
It's
a
game
changer
for
the
community
and
it's
something
I've
been
working
on
heck.
I
started
talking
about
it
ten
years
ago
with
the
blagojevich
administration
and
illinois.
Was
it
only
first
or
something
like
that?
I
can't
remember
the
program
I
remember
going
out
there
and
we've
been
talking
about
it
forever
and
we
finally
got
a
state
senator
pushing
a
state
rep
locally.
A
We're
gonna
see
if
we
can't
get
broadband
out
there
as
well
for
internet
access
for
the
area,
so
there's
a
second
set
of
funding
mechanisms
that
will
get
from
the
pipeline
into
the
homes
and
through
grants,
and
then
the
conversion
of
all
the
lp
equipment
that
they
have
right
now
or
you
know
the
the
propane
equipment
in
the
natural
gas.
You
know
the
fittings,
the
piping,
all
of
that,
so
it's
it's
not
just
getting
it
to
the
town.
That's
the
first
part
of
this.
A
A
K
It
comes
down
route
1
on
4,
000
south
that
moves
over
into
through
st
township,
through
pembroke
township
into
hopkins
park.
There's
three
phases
of
three
options.
As
far
as
the
plans
concerned
that
we're
finalizing
with
nycor,
so
it'll
come
all
the
way
into
the
community
and
and
be
I
want
to
call
the
critical
infrastructure
as
it's
defined
would
be
the
main
drag
through
hopkins
park
and
all
of
that
surrounding
area,
so
any
associated
business
or
residential
structures.
K
You
know
the
goal
for
us
is
to
get
the
critical
infrastructure
installed
and
get
the
gas
to
hopkins
park
and
then
work
to
the
chairman's
point
on
additional
legislation
for
additional
projects.
The
you
know
alternate
conversions,
the
things
that
would
need
to
be
done
to
kind
of
flush
the
project
out
fully,
so
it
might
be
in
two
phases,
but
the
main
project
is
running
down.
It's
four:
it's
either
three
thousand
south
or
four
thousand
south
out
of
off
right
off
route,
one
north
of
saint
anne.
