Finance Committee Meeting 10/27/2020 9:00 AM

Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
had
something
real
short
to
show
the
board.
It
was
a
result.
I
had
the
the
state
of
the
county
address
that
I
made
with
various
partners
over
at
the
chamber
of
commerce.
They
had
a
virtual
breakfast.
How
do
you
have
breakfast
virtually?
I
guess,
but
anyway
we
each
had
breakfast
together
separately.
How
about
that?
So
the
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
that
I
talked
to
people
after
the
meeting.
They
didn't
really
realize.
F
So
I
thought
I'd
emphasize
them
here,
I'm
not
big
on
victory,
laps,
but
there's
some
things
that
we've
done
this
year
that
have
been
substantial.
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can't
really
see
that
and
I
apologize
those
at
home.
I
hope
you
can.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
that
you
know
I
congratulate
actually
bradley
on
their
budget
surplus
their
in
their
previous.
It
was
in
the
paper
today,
their
previous
budget
year.
They
had
an
audited
surplus
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Roughly
ours
audited.
F
Surplus
last
budget
year
was
2.4
million,
so
we're
willing
to
help
them
out
if
they
want
to
get
to
that
level.
I'm
just
kidding
so
it
was
I
I
just
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
we
had
a
fantastic
last
year.
This
year
has
been
extremely
challenging
for
various
reasons,
but
we
had
that
number
in
the
budget
this
year
to
try
to
accomplish
that
again
in
a
plan
to
do
so,
but
obviously
covet
happened.
F
F
F
Then
we
really
fell
off
the
cliff
and
we
lost
10
million
in
revenue
in
a
course
of
a
year,
and
we
didn't
recover
from
that.
Until
obviously,
we
started
this
shift.
The
the
big,
the
big
thing
to
note
was
is
those
two
big
red
lines
in
the
middle.
That
was
when
we
amended
the
budget
on
the
floor
of
the
full
county
board
meeting,
or
else
that
was
that
that
second
red
line
would
have
went
down
about
another
million
and
a
half
dollars.
F
So
if
we
remember
that
as
a
board,
we
came
in
with
a
budget
and
it
would
have
been
much
worse
if
we
wouldn't
crafted
an
alternate
budget
and
presented
it
on
the
floor
of
the
county
board.
Meeting
that
day,
it
ruffled
some
feathers,
but
it
ended
up
passing
unanimously
once
we
saw
the
validity
of
those
numbers
and
it
worked
so
as
we
started
to
climb
back
out
of
this
hole,
there's
big
chunks
and
and
there's
your
tread
water,
those
last
two
green
lines.
F
A
G
D
D
G
H
Good
morning,
everyone,
okay,
we'll
start
out
with
the
miscellaneous
financial
reports
discussion.
First,
we
saw
a
slight
increase
with
sales
tax,
although
overall
you
can
still
see
that
we're
running
a
lot
less
than
a
year
ago.
So
we're
just
continuing
to
watch
that
come
in
october,
we
received
the
july
retail,
so
we're
still
a
number
of
months
behind.
As
far
as
you
know,
the
coveted
months
and
things
so
watching
that
very
close,
just
to
see
what
kind
of
you
know
trend,
you
know
continues
on
that.
H
The
one
area
that
continues
to
on
a
normal
upward
trend
that
hasn't
seen
any
fluctuation
at
all
is
the
use
tax.
So
we're
appreciative
of
that
actually
is
even
it's
coming
in
even
higher,
so
it
could
indicate
a
transition
from
brick
and
mortar
to
online
sales
with
covid.
Obviously,
we've
been
seeing
that
slowly
over
the
years,
but
this
may
have
a
situation
may
have.
You
know
impacted
that,
and
the
online
activity
comes
through
the
use
tax
area.
H
The
inmate
bed
rental
did
have
an
uptick
this
year,
as
I'm
sure
the
sheriff
will
will
update
us
here
in
a
little
bit.
Income
tax
has
had
some
down
months
but
has
been
trending
up
here,
the
last
few
months
and
fy
21
budget,
just
because
of
the
situation
we're
in
and
not
being
able
to
really
identify
enough
trend
to
feel
comfortable
with.
H
So
you
know,
conservative
was
the
the
approach
and
we'll
continue
to
watch,
and
hopefully
you
know
we're
we're
in
the
range
going
forward
there
so
and
then
bradley
bourbon,
a
kankakee
bradley
is
now
collecting
their
additional
tax.
I
chose
to
leave
it
off
because
of
the
covet
situation
so
that
we
could
continue
to
watch
apples
to
apples.
If
you
will
from
you
know
previous,
so
it
does
break
out
the
original
versus
the
new
online.
H
So
I'm
still
watching
to
see
how
our
trend
follows
with
you
know
the
trends
of
the
local.
You
know
to
see
what
we
can
learn.
You
know
from
that,
so
I
will
eventually
bring
in
the
new
bradley
information,
but
right
now
I
chose
not
to
bring
it
in
just
so.
We
can
keep
our
eye
on
apples
to
apples
in
this
coded
situation,
so
we'll
work
on
getting
that
information
as
well.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
specific
questions
on
any
of
those
before
we
move
on.
H
For
the
cash
flow
I
brought
in
for
the
first
time
second
time
actually
this
year,
the
last
time
we
did
estimates
with
when
public
originally
started.
There
are
those
three
options,
but
this
one's
just
trending
normal
trend,
estimates
and
looking
out
you
know,
with
budget
information
trend,
wise
and
and
our
first
look
out
to
what
may
and
june
of
next
year
will
look
like,
which
is
usually
our
two.
H
H
So
I
believe
that
at
this
point
with
what
we
know
that
we
will
not
have
to
do
a
taw,
so
that's
the
good
news
we
will
have
to
continue
to
watch
and
hopefully
you
know
things
won't
take
an
unexpected
turn
down
any
more
than
they
already
have
for
us.
But
so
you
know
I
watch
this
daily
and
obviously
monthly.
We
keep
an
eye
on
it
and
you
know
I
watch
the
trends
very
close
and
we'll
continue
to
watch
this
and
continue
to
look
at
those
months.
H
A
I
There
was
some,
mr
chairman
hunter.
That's
right.
I
had
a
conversation
with
a
couple
of
commissioners
with
respect
to
the
sales
tax
that
911
paid
to
walmart,
and
I
think
that
may
be
some
mistake
with
respect
to
them
paying
sales
tax,
and
I
wanted
to
reference
that
you'll
see
it
on
it's
a
bill
of
357
and
you
see
that
there
is
a
sales
tax
in
the
amount
of
27
22..
I
The
911
board,
or
the
ceo
over
there
regarding
not
necessarily
cease
and
desist,
but
they
should
not
be
paying
the
sales
tax,
as
is
indicated
in
this
particular
bill.
So
I
I
would
move
that
a
communication
be
sent
to
9-1-1
board
regarding
those
items
and
comments
that
I
just
made
with
respect
to
the.
J
H
H
This
came
down
unapproved,
but
911
owes
a
general
fund,
that's
the
first
segment,
so
the
general
fund
is
not
on
the
hook
for
the
sales
tax
and
she
is
aware
that
that
to
pay
the
911
fund
back
the
sales
tax
and
is
working
on
that
side
of
it,
because
ultimately,
the
sales
tax
is
is
due
back
to
the
911
fund,
who
is
ultimately
responsible.
You
know
for
this
expense,
so
it's
more
of
a
procedural
thing.
H
I
My
question
and
ron-
and
I
discuss
this
as
well
as
yourself
in
principle-
9-1-1-
would
be
tax-exempt
and
you
know
that's
why
I
was
wondering
why
we
were
we're
assessed
the
the
sales
tax,
but
you
know
I
understand
the
the
rationale
as
explained
by
mr
mccarty
and
if
it's
appropriate,
I'll
withdraw
my
motion
in
that
regard.
Is
it
appropriate.
A
D
D
D
H
Mr
chairman,
yes
I
didn't
realize
it
was
a
group,
the
verizon
wireless.
This
is
the
second
time
this.
This
is
a
different
month,
but
the
second
time
this
verizon
wireless
bill
for
animal
control
has
showed
up.
I
was
going
to
ask
the
committee
to
add
where
all
this,
not
only
this
one
but
any
previous
one,
because
apparently
this
is
an
ongoing
situation
or
if
the
committee
wants
to
bring
back
every
single
month
of
running
verizon
wireless
bills.
H
H
C
F
The
other
issue
was,
is
the
auditor
was
demanding
to
know
every
phone
number
that
came
to
and
from
all
of
those
phones,
and
the
sheriff
does
not
want
that
information
out,
because
it
is
public
safety,
related
people
calling
other
neighbors
dogs,
barking
people
reporting
dog
fighting
rings.
I
believe
that
kind
of
stuff,
so
he
the
exemption
for
law
enforcement,
exists.
I
A
I
D
G
A
B
A
E
A
H
H
Highlights:
okay,
the
the
general
fund,
as
also
this
thing,
was
balanced
at
just
over
34
million,
the
total
of
the
debt
service
and
special
revenue
funds,
totaled
19.7
million
the
highway
funds,
the
group
of
them
by
themselves
total
28.2
million
and
the
health
department
and
911
funds,
9.7
million.
So
the
total
of
all
appropriation
in
the
entire
document
totals
91.8
million
dollars
in
total,
so
you're
aware
of
that,
the
the
general
fund
budget,
both
revenue
and
expense
at
balance,
number
is
2.3
million
less
than
the
fy20
budget.
H
H
H
Most
everything
is
fairly
close
or
flat
other
than
basic
salary
increases.
You
know
whether
it's
a
non-union
or
union
contract,
etc.
The
only
notable
one
the
health
insurance
is
increased
about
378
000
over
the
fy
20
budget
amount.
As
far
as
revenues,
I
think
we're
all
aware.
Like
sales
tax,
you
know
the
pprt
tax,
the
bed
rental,
those
types
of
things
there
are
some
increases
in
revenue.
H
As
far
as
we
will
cover
this
at
a
future
meeting.
The
corporate
levy
use
tax
is
up
because
of
its
trend
and
the
percentage
I
I
still
went.
Conservative
that's
about
a
200
000
increase
on
a
conservative
trend
of
what's
actually
happening
there.
The
electric
aggregation
is
up
nearly
300
000
from
a
change
in
that
agreement
and
one
of
the
few
departments
that
actually
are
showing
higher
revenues
at
this
point
is
the
recorder
fees
about
35
000
higher.
H
Although
it's
trending
much
higher
the
conservative
amount,
I
was
about
35
000
increase,
most
all
are
running
pretty
close
to.
Even
there
are
a
few
that
are
showing
less
court
related
ones
for
the
most
part
because
of
the
closure.
There
is
showing
a
decrease
right
now,
obviously,
for
the
year,
because
of
the
courts
being
closed,
we'll
see
how
that
trends
out.
You
know
as
we
go
here,
go
forward,
so
those
are
some
of
the
the
highlights.
H
E
E
H
You
know,
for
the
most
part,
there
was
just
a
few
departments
that
had
unique
requests.
You
know
those
were
communicated
specifically,
you
know
with
chairman
wheeler
and
that
communication
gone
back
and
forth.
There
were
a
few
increases,
but
those
were
already
done
at
the
board
level.
The
one
that
comes
to
mind
was
like
for
planning
department,
a
new
software
that
was
a
there,
was
an
increased
revenue,
but
also
there
was
an
increase
in
fees
that
covered
that.
H
So,
for
the
most
part,
there's
not
a
lot
of
new
information
new
in
there
and
everybody
was
very
cooperative
with
and
understanding
of
where
we're
at,
and
you
know
I
think,
for
the
most
part
for
all
of
us
that
have
been
through
what
we
went
through
the
last
four
or
five
years
ago.
We're
very
grateful
that
it's
stable
right
now
and
not
not
dropping
off
the
cliff
again.
So
I
think,
with
with
experience
and
stuff
it's
it's
everybody's
satisfied
and
happy
that
we're
at
least
that
stable,
so.
E
H
Yeah
we
communicated
out
their
bottom
line
number
to
everybody
asked
for
their
input.
We
reviewed
all
the
grants
they
have
received
and
had
a
chance
to
input
on
all
their
special
funds.
So
yeah,
all
of
this
information
has
been
out
to
the
departments
and
have
come
back
and
a
lot
of
the
special
funds.
You
will
see
that
are
same
as
fy20.
H
E
Mr
chairman,
one
more
question:
thank
you
revenue
bonds.
I
have.
We
looked
at
reissuing
those
or
doing
something
with
those
I'm
looking
at
the
interest
rates.
Maybe
we
don't
have
that
capability,
but
certainly
when
I
see
what
we're
paying
and
with
the
increased
financial
stability
of
the
county,
we
should
be
able
to
do
something.
Has
anybody
reviewed
those.
H
H
F
Just
to
to
kind
of
close
out
what
what
ron
was
asking
there,
this
is
the
first
year
that
well
in
the
last
two
or
three
where
we
don't
have
any
surplus.
So
it
was
a
really
easy
conversation
that
I
could
end
with
no
this
time,
and
then
I
hate
to
to
do
that.
But
and
then
you
know
a
few
people
will
call
back
every
three
or
four
days
to
see
if
the
answer
is
still
no,
but
it
really,
there
is
no
room
for
anything
next
year.
F
So
while
it
might
not
have
been
the
answer
that
some
wanted,
that's
what
the
answer
that
we
had
to
give,
because
there
just
wasn't
anything
to
move
around,
and
so
it's
it's
about
all.
We
can
say
you
know
it's
normally.
We
can
try
to
squeeze
another
10
grand
20
grand
here
and
there
when
you're
dealing
with
a
surplus
of
2
million,
but
we
just
didn't
have
that
ability
at
all.
So.
H
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point,
if
I
may
just
add
to
that
for
department,
heads
and
the
board
members
for
next
year's
budget.
There
is
no
contingency,
there's
no
any
extra
money
outside
of
each
department
and
what
is
budgeted.
So
it
is
a
very
tight
budget
and
we'll
have
to
keep
very
close
eye
on
any
additional
requests
added
things
you
know
and
where
the
revenues
are
as
we
go
through
fy21,
because
we
could
easily
go
negative
just
because
of
how
tight
and
how
lean
the
budget
is.
At
this
point.
A
F
F
I
F
So
there
the
county
board
did
step
up
and
pay
our
part
of
the
usually
it's
the
20
right,
the
match,
yeah
the
match,
part
of
it,
so
the
the
20-
and
sometimes
that's
substantial
money-
80
100
grand,
but
if
it
our
approach,
has
been
where
it's
diversion
and
other
things
where,
in
the
end,
it's
a
good
financial
decision
because
there's
less
burden
on
the
system.
If
we
keep
people
out
of
the
system-
and
so
you
spend
a
little
bit
upfront
to
save
a
lot
on
the
back
end
with
keeping
kids
on
the
right
path.
F
So
we
made
that
decision,
and
that
was
and
we're
happy
to
do
so
now.
The
communication
part
of
it
we've
got
people
on
staff
here
I'll,
say:
ben
wilson
is
one
who
bird
dogs
grant
opportunities
and
we
shoot
those
out
to
people
as
we
see
them,
and
then
all
of
their
state
associations
continually
send
them
updates
on
what
grants
are
available.
A
I
A
K
Well,
I
was
worried
that
you
were
going
to
amend
the
order
right
before
me.
That
was
going
to
put
me
later
in
the
day.
So
thank
you.
Whoever
didn't
do
that.
I
just
have
a
few
things
to
go
through
one.
This
is
off
the
subject
of
the
treasure,
but
I
think
I
speak
for
everybody
on
the
first
floor
and
probably
lori
as
well.
K
In
the
second
floor
that
the
door
guards
downstairs
have
been
doing
a
phenomenal
job
and
it's
it's
been
very,
very
busy
trying
to
pull
out
people
who
are
just
going
to
the
treasures
office
moving
them
aside,
sending
them
with
voting
down.
There
they've
been
doing
an
excellent
job,
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
number
two,
our
online
collection,
was
up
about
10
this
year.
K
K
Tax
sale
is
on
wednesday,
thursday,
the
12th
of
november,
and
we
probably-
and
I
have
a
call
out
to
quality
inn.
We
probably
are
going
to
move
it
as
a
result
of
covid.
It's
typically
in
this
room,
but
there's
about
35
people
that
attend,
and
I
think
that
probably
will
violate
we.
We
won't
be
able
to
fit
within
the
covid
restrictions
to
be
able
to
do
it
in
this
room.
Unfortunately,
so
there'll
be
a
all.
K
Yeah
tax
b-
oh
you
might
be
thinking
of
the
of
the
typical
tax,
the
auction
sale
yeah.
That
was
done.
That
was
done
with
sealed
bid.
This
is
the
live
tax
buyer
auction,
where
they're
bidding
on
a
lien
for
unpaid
taxes
and
people
probably
saw
that
we
published
taxes
in
the
paper
about
a
week
ago,
so
we're
moving
down
through
the
tax
cycle
as
soon
as
tax
sale
ends
on
the
12th.
K
That
will
be
a
thursday
on
that
following
monday,
we
will
start
back
up
with
the
choices
payment
program,
which
has,
I
think,
people
I
wish
some
people
would.
You
know
out,
there
could
talk
about
it.
Maybe
they
are
telling
their
neighbors.
I
think
it
saved
a
lot
of
people,
especially
during
this
time
of
covet
by
splitting
up
their
payments,
so
you'll
be
able
to
start
paying
on
your
taxes
for
next
year,
beginning
november
16th.
K
K
I
hope
that
goes
the
way
that
this
is
gone,
because
we
were
all
obviously
very
worried
about
what
would
happen,
and
I
think
that
the
taxing
bodies
in
this
county
should
all
be
very
grateful
for
the
hard
work
that
the
taxpayers
have
have
done
to
make
this
work
based
on
what
we
know
has
happened
this
year.
So
I
would
entertain
any.
J
Questions.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Mr
africano
you've
done
a
wonderful
job.
How
many
people
took
part
in
your
choice,
payment
plan-
I
you
know
you
changed
the
name
on
me
because
I
wanted
it
to
be
called
the
africano
layaway
tax
plan,
but
you
changed
the
name
how
many
people
took
advantage
of
that
this
year,
and
I
thought
that
was
a
great
idea.
You
did.
K
I
think
we
were
we're
up
we're
not
at
a
thousand
but
we're
just
under
that,
and
it
was
funny
because
I
got
a
we
were
on
a
email
chain
from
from
my
association,
and
so
I
see
everything
that
comes
through
and
the
treasurer
in
lake
county
who's
new
was
asking.
You
know,
I
don't
think
anybody
does
payment
plans
anymore.
You
know
how
many
people
still
do
them
and
we
were
one
of
the
few
people
that
just
started
doing
payment
plans.
K
K
K
in
the
old
days
it
was
18
based
on
1
000,
because
you
couldn't
pay
a
partial
payment.
You
had
to
pay
all
or
nothing.
So
it
was
a
zero-sum
game.
So
then
you
had
someone
paying
atten
18
on
a
thousand
now
you're
burying
people
in
interest
and
there's
no
chance
they're
behind
the
eight
ball
next
year.
Further
behind
the
following
year.
Now
they
lose
their
property.
This
is
a
way
to
say:
yeah
I
get
it.
You
can't
make
a
thousand
dollar
payment,
but
you
paid
800.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
He
was
the
sheriff
said
he
was
going
to
come
and
talk
to
us.
They
were
going
to
get
a
couple
of
vehicles.
This
came
out
of
his
criminal
justice
meeting
and
pay
for
it
out
of
animal
control
funds.
So
it's
not
a
general
fund
expense.
Typically,
we
head
nod
those
anyway
saying
yeah
it's
time
and
but
I
don't
necessarily
think
it's
appropriate
to
have
a
vote.
We
don't
have
numbers
in
front
of
us
but
know
that
he
can
move
on
move
on
those
because
that's
not
out
of
the
general
fund.
F
C
A
F
F
Right
so
I'll
just
read
along
the
the
bottom.
If
we
were
when
we
started
out
this
program,
we
were
with
one
company
in
2015,
1.67
million
dollar
premium.
Just
on
the
liability
side.
There
was
a
contentious
situation.
If
you
remember,
if
you're
on
the
board,
then
when
we
switch
companies
and
saved
about
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
that
has
borne
out
if
you
look
at
from
our
2016
policy,
was
1.095
million
for
liability.
F
Our
renewal
this
year
is
1.083
million,
so
in
that
time
period
we're
doing
very
well
in
our
liability,
and
you
know
that
we've
had
some
big
claims.
The
other
side
of
it
is
included
in
that
1.083
is
the
pbc
public
building
commission.
If
you
remember,
we
brought
them
in
to
our
policy
mid-year
because
they
had
a
renewal
of
60-some
thousand
and
of
this
number.
F
The
pbc
has
to
be
segregated
out
because
that's
obviously
the
public
building
commission.
It's
not
right.
Now,
it's
all
of
our
buildings,
but
includes
health
department
and
the
jail
complex
and
then
once
those
bonds
are
retired,
those
become
our
property
from
the
pbc,
but
that
was
going
to
be
in
the
60s.
I
believe
the
renewal
was,
and
it's
right
around
50.
we're
waiting
on
the
health
department
number
about
1200
bucks,
but
we're
48.
So
we
estimate
right
around
50
000.
unlike
previous
years.
F
They
would
get
the
bill
and
then
bill
us,
and
then
we
send
the
money
to
them
and
then
they
send
it
in
now.
It's
all
our
policy
and
we
drove
down
costs
through
that
economy
of
scale.
So
it
was
a
very
good
decision
for
the
board
to
do
that
for
in
terms
of
saving
us
money,
ultimately,
because
it
was
our
bill
to
pay,
because
there
are
buildings
when
the
bonds
are
paid.
The
other
thing
a
part
of
this
is
our
work.
Comp
came
in
at
7,
17,
8
20.
F
F
I
think
we're
going
to
get
a
big
check
come
next
year
because
we
haven't
had
the
workforce
we
had
the
previous
year,
if
that
makes
sense,
so
expect
that
we'll
be
bringing
something
back
here,
mid-year
because
I
think
they're
going
to
have
to
pay.
They
also
gave
us
a
coveted
credit
of
41
000,
so
really
if
in
in
the
end
last
year
we
were
1.749
million
for
work,
comp
and
liability
this
year,
1.765
million
and
that
kind
of
explains
everything.
F
F
F
F
A
G
G
F
Yes,
we
may
actually
get
a
reduction
on
the
liability
based
on
the
fact
that
we
have
reduced
populations
at
our
at
our
jail
because
they
based
liability
on
head
count.
So
we
had
a
reduced
head
count.
They
were
not
aware
of
that.
So
that's
another
that
may
come
back
a
little
bit
lower
after
they
get
back
with
us.
A
G
A
A
B
A
A
I've
seen
this
done
in
highway
department
a
number
of
times
and
usually
people
that
open
the
vids
have
to
look
around
quite
a
bit
in
order
to
see
what
the
numbers
are
all
right.
We
have
a
cover
page
here
with
the
name
of
the
firm
belson
steele
and
named
contact
person
david
dillon,
and
then
we
have
a
proposal.
F
F
It
allows
us
to
be
able
to
negotiate
with
a
qualified
bidder
if
you
will
for
our
our
services
so
that
we
expect
that
to
be
over
30
000,
but
this
so
it's
an
rfp
to
start
with,
I'm
not
sure
you're
going
to
find
a
line
in
there.
That's
going
to
have
a
a
dollar
amount,
but
if
it
does,
then
that's
a
negotiated
dollar
amount
to
come,
we're
working
with
all
the
other
municipalities
to
put
this
together,
but
the
first
step
was
to
see
per
the
the
request
for
proposal.
F
F
I
don't
think
we
need
the
second
action
here.
We
could,
if
you
wanted
to
to,
to
recommend
or
to
well
we're
not
going
to
read
everything.
I
think
it
needs
to
that
recommendation
needs
to
come
from
the
planning
department
right.
Would
you
all
agree?
Yeah?
Okay,
we
open
the
bid
here
so
tomorrow
they
can
do
the
homework
if
you
will,
or
today
they
can
for
tomorrow.
So.
