Description
Finance Committee Meeting 1/25/2023 9:30am
A
B
A
A
A
C
National
advancement
of
black
veterans
and
I
also
do
the
veterans
luncheon
every
year
on
Veterans
Day.
We
give
back
to
the
community
what
we
make
a
lot
of
times,
but
we
definitely
need
to
purchase
equipment
because
on
Monday
we
catered
to
Nicor
and
a
lot
of
things
that
we
actually
needed.
We
kind
of
like
borrowed
or
rented.
So
that's
why
I'm
here
today,
so
I
can
get
some
help
from
the
Kankakee
County.
E
Good
morning,
Steve
good
morning
start
out
with
the
text:
ports,
sales,
tax
and
income
tax,
Etc,
no
real
change
or
slow
down
to
report,
yet
it
hopefully
never,
but
with
everything
we're
hearing.
As
far
as
economically
it's
kind
of
a
watch
and
wait,
the
first
another
pprt
came
in
extremely
high.
The
personal
property
replacement
tax,
the
bed
rental
numbers
are-
have
been
slowly
going
up.
Income
tax
still
coming
in
higher,
so
nothing
negative
to
report.
So
all
of
these
have
helped.
E
back
in
the
summer,
when
we
were
doing
projections
for
the
bonds,
the
animal
control,
bonds
and
and
talking
to
Moody's
and
not
knowing
when
or
if
the
economic
downturn
Could
Happen
I
went.
Conservative
you
know
for
year
end
and
all
the
numbers
have
just
continued
to
flow
and
increase
accordingly,
so
better
than
expected,
which
is
always
a
good
thing,
but
we'll
talk
about
you
know
more
specifically
the
the
total
next
month,
but
as
far
as
these
individual
things
that
are,
you
know
very
important.
E
All
right,
yeah
as
far
as
cash
flow,
looks
good
again
end
of
June.
The
July
area
would
be
our
toughest
as
far
as
the
two
three
payroll
months,
so
no
issues
everything
looks
good.
It
actually
continues
to
grow.
Some
from
all
this
flow
I
went
conservative
on
this
originally,
so
it's
all
all
positive
news
there
as
well
any
questions
and.
A
E
These
are
all
things
we're
watching
this
and
as
well
as
paying
down
the
the
bonds.
You
know
early
that
we've
discussed
over
the
last
few
months.
So
all
this
trend
is,
you
know,
we've
been
watching
to
make
sure
that
we
could
accomplish
that
with
cash
flow,
and
it
appears
that
you
know
everything's
still
flowing
in
the
in
the
plan
that
we've
set
forward.
So
very.
A
E
E
It's
up
it's
up
to
how
you
you
guys
want
to
do
it,
there's
questions
specifically
or
some
of
them
yeah
with
the
notes,
some
of
them
on
the
were
mileage
questions
or
suggestions
from
the
auditor's
office
as
far
as
what
they
believe
mileage
should
be
calculated
at
that
one's
mileage
that
was
mileage
and
then
the
new
board
way
about
Productions.
They
had
a
disagreement
with.
E
The
board
also
object
to
individual
distribution
of
pictures,
I
guess
the
the
process
of
picture
taking
and
then
also
a
disagreement
with
the
Chairman's
signature
on
some
of
them
here.
So
most
of
them
are
Administration
and
there's
one
Treasurer
related.
That
Nick
is
aware
of
as
far
as
credit
card
activities.
So
that's,
however,
you
want
to
do
it
if
there's
specific
questions
or.
A
E
F
Morning
is
this
sun
yeah
okay?
So
what
he
says
is
that
he
believes
that
auditor's
office
believes
that
the
mileage
should
be
calculated
on
the
lesser
of
the
distance,
either
from
the
board
member's
Home
Springfield
or
the
the
County
Board
office
to
Springfield.
So
you
should
calculate
which
would
be
less
and
that's
how
you
should
they
should.
These
should
have
been
submitted.
That's
the
point
of
the
mileage
ones.
Our
policy
does
not
state
that
our
policy
says
the
mileage
shall
be
reimbursed
established
by
the
IRS
publication.
F
463
and
I
have
that
it
just
it
does
not
designate
anything
about
calculating
a
lesser
from
the
person's
home
at
all.
It
just
says
mileage
and
in
fact,
in
one
section
of
the
IRS,
it
does
say.
Let's
see
as
an
example,
you
regularly
work
in
an
office
in
a
city
where
you
live.
Your
employer
sends
you
on
a
one-week
training
session
at
a
different
office
in
the
same
city.
You
travel
directly
from
your
home
to
the
training,
location
and
return.
F
G
You,
but
there
was
also
the
question
of
what
the
rate
is
I
believe
the
the
Office
of
the
auditor
had
objected
or
wanted
the
new
rate
paid
for
mileage
that
was
incurred
when
the
rate
was
a
different
number,
a
lower
number,
I
believe
and
so
I
believe.
What
we're
saying
here
is
that
we
we
reimburse
it
at
what
the
rate
was
when
the
time
it
was
occurred
is.
D
G
A
B
D
A
G
E
D
H
G
This
this
one,
if
you
I,
could
Mr
chairman
Yep
this
one
was
was
had
to
be
in
the
packet
because
our
the
when
the
board
member
submits
their
meeting
list
to
get
paid.
That
is
actually
a
claim.
I
had
to
go
through
this
process.
It
has
since
been
in
Mr
Kirks.
Who
can
speak
to
it.
He
wasn't
trying
to
get
paid
for
the
Committees
that
he
wasn't
a
member
of.
He
was
just
noting
for
the
record.
I
think
that
that
he
was
at
those
meetings.
G
So
I
would
ask
that
board
members
don't
put
all
the
meetings
that
they
attend,
just
the
ones
that
they're
going
to
be
paid
for,
or
else
it
has
to
come
to
this
committee
and
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear,
because
it
happened
this
time,
but
it's
happened
before,
and
we
just
assume
that,
but
the
official
record,
if
you're
at
the
meeting,
is
actually
the
video
in
the
minutes.
It's
noted
if
you're,
not
on
the
committee
and
you're
at
the
meeting,
so
I
would
ask
that.
I
I
A
E
Right
first,
one
Grant
Park
Fire,
Protection
District.
The
request
is
for
eleven
thousand
and
five
dollars,
which
is
the
remaining
balance
of
the
twenty
thousand
dollar
cap
for
non-cover
government.
It's
for
miscellaneous
equipment
leak
detector
on
some
other
items
that
they're
looking
for
for
new
fire
truck
vehicle.
E
E
B
E
B
E
Next
one
kinky
River
Conservancy,
Conservancy
District,
the
quote-
was
for
a
boat
repair
for
19
103.7
cents,
which
is
attached,
so
the
we
would
do
this
on
reimbursement.
Only
and
and
I
put
it
as
discussed
in
the
internal
meeting
that
the
chairman
to
put
the
not
dick
seat
at
twenty
thousand,
just
in
case
if
there
are
changes
or
overages
on
the
actual
repair
to
go
up
to
the
we're
so
close
to
the
cap.
Why
not
just
put
the
cap
in
there
potentially
for
this?
B
G
C
E
It
is
at
this
point
a
startup
category
business.
There
was
requests
originally
for
business
plan
and
then
you've
also
asked
for
if
there
are
activity
happening
going
on
that,
provide
us
information.
So
there
is
a
new
letter
attached
that
the
committee
has
not
seen
and
a
copy
of
a
flyer
that
was
provided
us
for
information,
as
well
as
the
public
commentary
that
you
heard
from
that's
miles
here
this
morning
on
this.
So
that's
that's
the
one
to
revisit.
D
Chairman,
it
was
appropriate
that
this
matter
was
table
for
the
lack
of
specificity
regarding
the
business
plan
and
the
other
criteria,
as
articulated
by
Mr
McCarty.
Additionally,
it's
my
understanding
that
Ms
miles
had
this.
This
particular
business
since
2008
and
I
may
be
incorrect.
In
that
date,
I
can
speak
to
the
issue
of
the
activity.
Monday
I
attended
along
with
Ben
and
and
Dale
the
ribbon
cutting
for
the
nikor
gas
line
in
Pembroke,
and
she
did
a
marvelous
job
overall
activities.
There
were
like
a
10.
D
D
D
A
A
D
E
So
the
next
one
is
a
request
from
the
kinky
County
recorder's
office.
This
would
be
lost
Revenue,
it's
online
access,
her
program,
an
activity
of
scanning
and
digitizing
documents
to
so
that
they
are
searchable
online.
Instead
of
just
in
the
office,
the
the
request
was
modified
from
fifty
thousand
dollars
down
to
twenty
six
thousand
dollars.
A
G
We
don't
have
to
do
reimbursement,
we're
not
necessarily
worried
about
her
okay,
I'm,
scounding
or
purchasing
something
else
he
shouldn't
shouldn't
be
doing.
But
the
thing
is
is
that
we
looked
at
her
special
funds,
our
computer
fund,
and
we
decided
that
it
could
carry
the
burden
of
the
larger
chunk.
So
we
just
split
those
two
amounts
around.
The
original
request
was
you
know,
50
for
marpa.
We
just
switched
them
because
they're
computer
fun
she's
managed
that
very
well
in
that
aspect.
So
there
was
no
need
to
do
it.
The
other
way
makes
sense.
E
K
E
G
E
A
H
B
L
Do
you
get
enough
sleep
last
night,
yeah
I
don't
have
much
to
announce
other
than
we're
taking
prepayments
on
taxes
and
starting
to
ramp
up
you
can
let
your
constituents
know
that
probably
can't
wait.
They
can
pay
their
taxes
early
if
they
want
to
pay
them
a
little
bit
at
a
time
it's
available
right
now,
other
than
that.
I
really
don't
have
anything
to
to
announce
questions
for
me.
Mr
Fairfield,.
L
You
explain
that
exactly
how
that
works.
I
can
so
your
taxes,
we
don't
know
what
the
taxes
will
be
till
roughly
May
1st
right,
because
we
wait
for
the
tax
calculations
to
come
from
the
clerk,
but
we,
but
for
the
for
this
exercise,
we
assume
that
your
taxes
will
be
the
same
as
they
were
the
year
before.
That's
how
we
do
it,
you
then
can
come
in
you.
Can
you
can
do
it
online?
You
can
come
in.
You
can
send
a
check.
You
can
pay
five
dollars
at
a
time.
L
You
can
pay
five
dollars,
one
time
25,
the
next
you
can
pay.
However,
you
want
as
many
times
as
you
want,
and
you
can
set
that
up
online
to
do
that.
You
can
come
in
and
do
that
and
you
can
mail
it
and
do
that
the
only
hitch
is
that
buy
due
date,
which
for
argument's
sake,
let's
say
is
the
end
of
June.
L
That's
the
only
catch,
and
then,
if
you
pay
more
for
your
taxes
were
to
go
down,
we
would
rebate
you
what
you
paid
more
and
if
your
taxes
would
go
up
by
a
small
percentage,
then
we
would
tell
you
you
owe
X
dollars
more
to
finish
out
your
taxes.
It's
actually
it's
really
seamless
and
it
seems
to
be
something
that
the
younger
crowd
likes
and
now
we're
starting
to
see
a
lot
of
senior
citizens.
L
L
L
A
A
Dear
auditor
Lee,
as
the
finance
committee
chairman
I,
write
to
ask
you
to
begin
attending
the
finance
committee
meetings
on
a
regular
basis,
beginning
January,
25th
2023..
The
interaction
between
elected
officials
and
relevant
board
committees
is
invaluable
for
our
constituents
and
I
commit
to
running
a
professional
committee
focused
on
substant
issues
in
the
spirit
of
transparency
and
to
provide
proper
oversight.
I
ask
you
to
once
again
provide
monthly
reports
to
the
committee.
Additionally
I
hope
to
understand
why
there's
a
lack
communication
between
your
office
and
other
offices
as
it
relates
to
rejected
claims.
A
Lastly,
is
my
sincere
wish
that
you
collaborate
with
this
committee
and
all
elected
and
appoint
County
officials?
Please
let
me
know
if
I
can
help
facilitate
that
collaboration,
Happy
New
Year
to
you
and
your
family.
Now
the
reply
back
I
got
was
congratulations
on
your
new
role
with
respect
no
happy
New
Year.
So
that's
where
we're
at
so.
C
K
Is
there
any
kind
of
recourse
at
all?
I
was
told
no
before
I
didn't
know.
If
anybody
had
looked
into
it
since
we
pay
him
to
be
our
to
to
assist
in
our
accounting,
he
doesn't
assist
in
our
accounting,
so
yeah
I
mean
if
we,
if
the
garbage
man
doesn't
pick
up
the
garbage
you're
not
going
to
pay
the
garbage
man.
G
No
I
haven't
Mr
Lee
hasn't
been
in
this
building
during
business
hours
as
far
as
I
can
tell
in
two
and
a
half
years,
so
I
haven't
had
the
pleasure
of
running
into
him
in
any
work
day.
So
I
do
know
that
he's
not
an
employee.
He
doesn't
have
to
come
to
work
as
the
state's
attorney
is
a
opine
in
the
past.
The
taxpayers
are
funding
an
office
that
is
Ghost
payroll
in
essence,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
matter
what
I
say
or
what
we
say
it
seems
to.
K
K
A
G
So
I
apologize
the
Sheriff,
let
me
start
at
the
beginning.
The
sheriff
did
find
the
rest
of
the
vehicles
that
we
were
looking
for
to
fulfill
the
the
requirement.
You
may
remember
that
if
you
do
it
on
a
three-year
cycle,
then
you
retain
enough
value
in
the
vehicle
on
trade-in
to
because
the
miles
are
not
through
the
roof,
then
you
can
go
out
and
buy
new
vehicles
based
on
that
that
trade-in
value,
if
you
will
or
the
auction
value.
So
in
this
case
we
had
already
budgeted
for
these
vehicles
and
capitals.
G
So
we
don't
need
to
approve
the
vehicles
he
needed
to
go
out
and
get
three
different
financing
numbers
and
as
I
look
through
I've
got
the
three
here.
If
anybody
would
like
to
see
it,
I'll
submit
it
to
the
chairman
for
part
of
the
record,
but
they're
the
there
was
a
the
lowest
bid,
was
3.59
on
12
quarterly
payments
so
and
that
came
from
People's
Bank,
so
the
other
ones
were
so
not
substantially
higher,
but
maybe
a
full
point
higher.
Roughly
so
a
local
bank
will
get
the
financing.
A
J
E
If
I
may,
Circle
back
to
arba
I
had
a
note
just
to
mention,
we
had
a
organization,
orenda
health.
We
have
two
applications
from
them
for
different
things
and
we
are
using
the
social
services
application
on
the
Social
Services
Program
side,
so
I
apologize,
I
I
had
the
note
right
here
and
didn't
even
look
at
it
when
I
was
up
there.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
the
committee-
and
that
went
on
the
record
for
this-
for
this
Finance.
G
And
it
deals
with
an
arbor
request
that
we
received.
We
received
a
request
from
the
Bourbonnais
Township
Park
District,
for
a
substantial
amount
of
money
for
the
diamond
Point
fields.
We
asked
them
for
a
business
plan
repetitively
and
they
refused
to
give
us
one.
So
it
was
never
even
brought
to
the
committee.
G
G
I
believe,
two
weeks
ago,
the
convention
and
visitors
bureau
offered
to
pay
3.2
million
dollars
to
Turf
all
the
fields
completely
on
their
own
and
the
Township
Park
District
rejected
that
offer
wow.
So
I
guess
it
was
never
really
about
baseball
and
these
kids
and
these
families
who
play
travel
ball.
It
was
more
about
shaking
down
the
CVB
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
I'll
put
that
on
the
record,
so
I
would
like
direction
from
the
committee
should
I
just
throw
that
request
in
the
garbage.
G
Quite
a
while
then
yeah
I
think
July
we've
been
asking
since
July
for
a
business
plan
and
they
wouldn't
produce
it.
So
now,
they've
rejected
the
money
from
the
CVB,
the
3.2
million,
to
do
the
whole
project,
which
is
a
complete
head
scratcher
and
should
kind
of
show
you
the
motives
between
the
park
district
and
the
village
of
Bradley.
So
excuse
me,
the
leadership
of
the
village
of
Bradley
and
the
conflict
of
their
Finance
directors
and
being
both
the
treasurer
for
the
park
district
and
the
finance
director
for
the
village.
