Description
Finance Committee Meeting 5/23/2018 9:00 AM
B

C
B
E
Good
morning,
mr.
chairman,
thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
start
out
by
recognize,
as
I'm
sure
everyone
knows.
Memorial
Day
is
rapidly
approaching
and
as
a
veteran,
we
always
like
to
stress
the
fact
that
Memorial
Day
is
not
for
us.
Memorial
Day
is
for
the
honored
dead
who
gave
that
full
last
measure
of
devotion,
and
they
are
the
ones
who
this
sacred
holiday
is
set
aside.
E
For
so
I
would
like
to
wish
everyone
a
safe,
Memorial
Day,
as
you
go
on
to
recognize
those
who
have
sacrificed
the
ultimate
sacrifice
in
the
name
of
freedom.
I
wanted
to
point
out
as
well
that
I
am
very
excited
about
hearing
what
takes
place
at
the
Finance
Committee
meeting
today,
I
did
get
a
chance
to
watch
the
executive
meeting
where
I
heard
for
the
first
time
about
the
juvenile
detention
center
in
that
level
of
detail
and
those
kinds
of
things
putting
the
county
in
a
strong
financial
position.
E
I
saw
part
of
the
kafir'
yesterday
evening
and
noticed
our
net
position
has
increased.
Last
year.
The
equity
and
the
general
fund
has
a
significant
increase,
still
a
deficit,
but
I
mean
lots
and
lots
of
positive
things
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
our
outside
auditors
and
when
they
present
the
kafirs.
So
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
in
that
spirit
of
progress
and
continuation,
I
wanted
to
kind
of
point
out.
E
The
fact
is
that
when
we
look
at
the
history
of
how
what
happened
happened
and
the
basis
on
which
it
happened,
it
was
all
born
out
of
sarbanes-oxley
and
sarbanes-oxley,
as
I'm
sure.
Everyone
here
knows
apply
to
external
auditors
who
are
also
performing
non
attestation
services.
That's
why
Arthur
Andersen
is
no
longer
big,
five,
okay,
and
so
what
happened?
E
I
can
go
into
a
lot
more
detail
if
there
are
any
other
questions,
but
I
am
deeply
concerned
because,
as
an
auditor,
we're
always
assessing
risk
and
if
we
are
going
to
perpetuate
something
that
continues
to
violate
the
state
statutes
and
it's
based
on
something
that
is
not
applicable
to
an
internal
audit
function
of
an
elected
official
girded
around
Authority
that
does
not
exist.
I
think
that
that
just
kind
of
opens
us
up
to
liabilities
that
are
something
that
I
can't
imagine.
E
Anyone
on
this
committee
or
the
full
board
we
want
to
be
exposed
to
so
I
feel
it's
incumbent
upon
me
to
explain
those
positions
and
to
kind
of
give
light
and
open
the
gateway
for
that
discussion.
Again.
I
am
very
excited
about
the
progress
that
has
been
made:
Department
of
Homeland
Security
out
at
the
jail
at
the
Sheriff's
Department,
the
fee
structures,
the
collections
that
have
taken
place
and
fees
collected
that
hadn't
happened
before
decisions
this
body
made
with
negotiating
union
contracts.
E
A
I'm
not
aware
of
any
presentation
that
we
have
today
so
I'll
move
to
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
the
April
25th
meeting.
I'll
need
a
motion.
Mr.
Washington
mr.
Stauffenberg,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
all
oppose,
like
same
motion,
carries
next
thing.
Treasurer's
office
is
mr.
Nick
African.
Oh,
you
have
copies
of
his
report.
I'll
need
a
motion
and
a
second
miss
Dunbar
Oh
motion
to
consolidate
and
approved.
Okay,
miss
Dunbar
and
mr.
C
Royce,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
all
opposed
likes.
A
motion
carries
good.
A
G
H
There's
been
some
challenges
with
the
new
tax
bill
format,
I'm
aware
of
some
of
them
we're
keeping
a
list
so
that
we
can
tweak
that
next
year.
If
I
should
be
here
and
the
reason
the
tax
bill
layout,
changed,
I
think
everybody
probably
I,
just
let
everybody
know
it.
So
we
could
save
about
two
cents
per
tax
bill
because
we
went
to
a
double
window
envelope,
so
we'd
have
to
print
an
envelope
and
by
not
printing
it
we
saved.
H
So
that's
why
the
format
had
to
change
to
accommodate
that
and
then,
as
you
probably
noted,
we
have
electronic
tax
bill
availability
now
for
people
who
wish
to
sign
up
for
it,
and
we
did
a
insert
sheet
this
year
to
explain
to
people
some
important
details
and
where
distribution
goes,
we
were
as
a
result
of
this
sheet,
we
were
called.
We
were
asked
to
present
last
night
at
the
Mary
Crest
Community
Association,
and
was
it
was
really
really
beneficial.
H
We
talked
a
lot
about.
You
know
obviously
I'm
the
collector
of
the
tax
and
I
distribute
it,
but
they
have
lots
of
questions
and
I
think
that
this
sheet
created
a
jumping-off
point
for
those
questions.
So
this
the
county
got
an
early
distribution.
As
you
probably
all
know,
we
were
given
the
opinion
from
the
a
from
the
Jim
row
that
we
needed
to
wait.
Tell
the
states
turning
excuse
me
until
bills
went
out,
and
so
we
did
that
and
then
we
wrote
the
check.
I.
H
H
It
is
for
the
taxpayers,
a
game-changer
when
a
person
approaches
your
desk
and
they're
a
senior
and
they
don't
have
a
senior
exemption,
and
you
can
push
them
to
the
side
and
say:
let's
get
your
senior
exemption
done
first
and
then
we'll
take
your
money
or
you
have
a
problem
with
with
the
past
due
payment.
Let's
get
you
across
the
hall
there
to
the
clerk's
office
is
just
so
much
better
for
the
people
and
I
see
it
every
day.
So
thank
you
again
for
making
that
happen.
Handy
specifically,
you
any
questions
any.
H
For
ten
years
come
on,
that's
right!
No!
That
was
stopped
last
year.
Just
so
you
know
we,
we
asked
the
state's
attorney
for
an
opinion
regarding
that
and
the
opinion
was
it
wasn't
real
strong
on
keeping
that
going,
and
so
we
didn't
do
it
last
year,
and
so
this
would
be
the
second
year
we
did
and
of
course
you
know,
I
still
will
see
how
things
go
and
deal
with
it.
Mr.
C.
I
Royce
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
and
Nick
kudos
to
you
and
your
staff
for
taking
on
the
move
of
the
treasurer's
office,
those
in
buildings
and
grounds
had
fought
for
a
lot
of
years
to
get
that
treasurer's
office
over
into
this
building.
So
thank
thanks
to
you
for
making
that
that
streamline
easier
and
another
thing
that
I
was
made
aware
of
by
people
in
my
district
that
you
took
everybody's,
that
the
owner
of
the
parcels
only
received
one
envelope,
but
they
had
all
their
parcels
in
the
same
envelope.
I
H
You
know
we
have
some.
We
have
some
people
that
have
over
50
parcels,
and
so
what
essentially
it
is,
is
over
five
parcels.
They
would
put
them
into
a
manila
envelope,
but
we
can
mail
up
to
five
in
this
in
the
envelope,
but
that
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
That
actually
brings
me
to
what
did
you
have
another?
No,
that's
it
one
of
the
challenges
on
the
tax
bill,
and
it
was
absolutely
my
fault
and
I
missed
it
instead
of
property
address.
H
So
if
it's
an
owner
of
multiple
parcels,
seven
address,
it
has
a
description
and
we
were
made
aware
of
that
right
away
by
Coles
apartments,
who
you
know
Hess
yeah,
so
Floyd's
office
called
right
away,
and
but
we
have
a
fix
for
people
too.
I
can
alphabetize
our
tax
rolls
and
then
give
them
lists.
So,
if
that,
if
that
comes
up
to
anybody,
send
them
my
way
and
my
my
office
staff
will
help.
It
won't
happen
next
year,
if
I'm
here,
but
send
them
my
way
if
they
need
help,
I
can
fix
it.
Mr.
A
J
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I,
do
think
that
the
new
tax
bill
does
have
a
lot
of
advantages,
and
it's
good
that
you
made
those
changes.
One
other
thing
that
was
brought
to
my
attention
is,
in
some
cases,
say
a
couple
who
are
landlords
we're
getting
two
sets
of
envelopes.
In
other
words,
some
of
the
properties
was
under
the
wife's
name.
Some
was
under
the
husband's
name
and
they
were
getting
two
sets
of
insults.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
a
big
issue,
but
the
issue
need
to
be
aware
of
it.
K
B
K
The
pleasure
of
being
a
property
owner
I've
never
seen
it
the
the
list
of
where
the
tax
distributions
all
go
on,
that
that
will
insert
that
you
put
inside
the
tax
so
that
it
was
great
to
see
it.
People
in
their
own
homes
can
see
where
their
tax
bills
divided
up
and
who's
getting
the
big
chunk
and
everybody.
You
know
it's
school
district
for
the
most
part,
wherever
your
ad
is
getting
the
big
chunk
in
the
county
as
a
smaller,
much
smaller
sliver
and
then
depending
on
municipality
and
all
that
stuff.
K
So
it
was
enlightening.
I
will
mention
that
you
know
the
messenger
gets
shot,
so
everybody
starts
yelling
at
the
county
when
they
see
that
the
total
that
about
the
school
district
in
that
aspect,
but
it's
helpful
for
people
to
know-
and
it
just
goes
to
show
that
you
know
you
see
people
at
a
lot
of
the
debates
for
some
of
the
countywide
offices.
And
if
you
go
to
a
school
board,
race
debate
and
there's
three
people
there.
K
H
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
that's
what
sort
of
the
impetus
for
this
bill
is
to
say
if
you
have
cancer
turns
here
here
you
perhaps
your
concern
should
be
based
on
the
amounts
people
get,
and
so
here's
what
everybody
gets
and
you
can
address
your
concerns
as
well,
and
you
notice
I
put
on
here
that
all
our
meetings
are
on
YouTube
as
well
to
try
to
get
some
more
viewership.
So
people
see
what
the
county
is
doing.
I
just.
A
H
A
A
L
Thank
you
very
much
if
you
would,
if
you
would
keep
Jim
lamotte's
family
and
your
thoughts
and
prayers.
Jim
was
a
former
county
board
member
chairman
of
ret
SB
board,
chairman
of
our
Merrick
Commission,
and
his
wife's
funeral
is
today
sober
and
try
to
go
there
and
anyway,
keep
them
in
your
thoughts
and.
L
L
And
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot.
That's
why
I
thought
it
wasn't
a
big
deal
to
switch
and
I
appreciate
Steve
and
the
auditors
letting
me
do
that.
A
couple
things.
First
of
all,
the
second
item
on
the
agenda.
We
are
going
to
bring
back
to
the
next
meeting
because
we
have
to
publish
in
the
newspaper,
so
we
will
do
that
at
our
next
meeting.
L
I
we
sent
out
the
report
for
the
sheriff's
committee.
I
believe
Diane
sent
it
to
the
entire
board.
If
there's
any
questions
on
that,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
I
can
tell
you
that
it
looks
like
right
now.
In
May
we
are
somewhere
housing
only
around
the
nine
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollar
mark
in
money
that
for
housing
only
not
any
reimbursements.
L
Federal
legislators,
local
legislators,
to
try
to
get
this
shell
built
out.
Obviously
our
you
know,
we
don't
want
to
burden
locally.
There,
take
the
risk
of
building
that
shell
out
and
then
something
going
south
because
they
don't
make
a
guarantee.
We
are
certainly
not
going
to
put
our
local
taxpayers
in
that
position
to
where
we
build
it
out,
it's
good
for
a
couple
years
and
then
BAM
it
might
be
gone.
L
So
we
continue
to
work
with
Senator
Duckworth's
office,
congresswoman,
Robin,
Kelly's
office,
congressman
Adam,
Kinzinger
--zz
office
locally,
with
Representative
Parkhurst
in
trying
to
get
things
done
both
at
the
jail
in
the
airport
so
and
our
numbers
right
now
we're
good.
Our
locals
are
a
little
high,
which
is
also
a
good
thing,
but
remember
we
are
responsible
for
them,
probably
first
and
foremost
so.
L
K
Chairman
wheeler,
thank
you
with
you
brought
up
a
bus
either
a
meeting
or
two
ago
what,
if
something
one
of
those
run
just
so
if
we
start
to
look
at
that
for
fourth
quarter
on
done,
because
we
know
we've
had
I've
been
stuck
behind
the
line
of
cars
at
the
exit.
What
it
broke
down
you
know
so
I
can
attest
it.
You
do
have
mechanical
issues
with
those
they.
L
Well,
the
buses
we
have
I
believe
back
in
the
day
in
2005-2006
were
around
seventy
thousand.
If
we
wanted
to
get
a
bigger
bus,
the
ones
we
drive
now
forever,
we
don't
drive
them,
though
the
ones
that
ice
brings
down
those
are
upwards
of
one
hundred
and
Todd
would
probably
know
no
more
specifics.
Yeah.
I
L
Have
a
twenty?
No,
it's
a
25-pair.
We
have
two
twenty
one
is
a
twenty-five
passenger
with
a
handicapped,
accessible
back,
and
then
we
have
another
one.
That
is
a
twenty
one
passenger
that
has
no
handicapped
accessibility.
So,
most
times
we
don't
well
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
to
keep
in
mind
is
we
don't
take
those
buses
every
trip?
We
only
take
those
25
and
21
passenger
buses
when
we
need
them,
otherwise
we're
taking
vans
right.
So
when
we
use
them,
we
need
them
right.
L
Not
just
taking
them
because
we
have
them
the
guy,
our
transport,
P
people
and
corporal
Joe
Hernandez,
corporal
Amanda
Capel
and
the
supervisor
of
our
transport
unit.
Lieutenant
Marlin
woods
a
great
job
in
in
utilizing
our
in
utilizing
our
vehicles
as
well
as
Jay
Hansen,
who
does
a
great
job
with
the
upkeep.
F
M
Good
morning
it's
one
of
the
safety
words
and
I
know
introduce
representatives
from
SK
do.
Hopefully
everyone
saw
their
email
last
night,
but
just
if
you
didn't
know
or
on
the
preface
just
some
exciting
news
excuse
me,
it's
been
a
real
blessing
to
be
able
to
discuss
this.
It's
been
at
least
ten
years
since
we've
had
positive
trends
that
we'll
be
getting
into
here
soon
in
my
18
years.
M
Here,
communicating
you
know
to
the
board
and
to
the
public
I've
never
been
able
to
say
we
had
a
two
million
dollar
fund
balance
change
in
a
positive
direction
in
one
year
and
that's
the
total
for
the
general
fund,
the
tort
and
a
pension.
As
a
summary
and
in
the
in
the
comprehensive
annual
financial
report
that
you
received
and
also
from
a
short-term
basis
but
extremely
important,
the
language
of
the
going
concern
is
no
longer
in
the
FY
17
annual
report.
M
So
we
had
that
for
three
years
recall
for
fiscal
year
was
14
15
and
16.
So
that's
a
very,
very,
very
positive
item
as
well,
so
so
I'm
holding
back
my
excitement.
If
you
can't
tell
so,
if
you
see
me
walk
around
with
a
smile,
the
guilded,
you
know
why.
So
it's
been
a
long
time
a
lot
of
work
and,
as
all
of
you
know,
so
without
further
adieu,
we'll
give
the
professional
courtesy
to
let
representatives
from
Smith,
cowling
Dykstra
know
him
go
first,
so
they
can
get
back
to
their
busy
schedule.
N

One
thing
that
was
new
this
year
is
the
Health
Department
and
ETS
be
board.
Financial
statements
have
always
been
presented
in
the
county
audit
report
as
separate
funds.
In
past
years,
they've
had
separate
audit
reports
issued
just
for
their
departments
this
year
we
combined
them
all,
and
we
just
did
one
big
audit
report
rather
than
separate
audit
reports.
N
There
was
gonna,
be
some
significant
increases
to
their
separate
audits.
If
we
continue
to
do
them
that
way,
so,
hopefully
to
maintain
the
cost
and
keep
control
over
that,
that's
what
we
decided
to
do
with
that
so
and
they
agreed
to
do
that.
So,
as
far
as
our
opinion
goes
on,
the
financial
statements
were
required
to
assess
risk
to
perform
our
procedures
and
then
give
an
opinion
on
whether
the
financial
statements
were
materially
correct
as
presented
to
us
and
they
were.
We
did
not
modify
our
opinion
for
the
financial
statements.
N
We
also
given
a
opinion
on
I,
don't
know
if
it's
an
opinion.
We
give
a
report
on
internal
control
over
financial
reporting,
also
on
compliance,
and
we
did
have
one
finding
an
internal
control
that
we're
still
finalizing
the
language
on
working
with
the
departments
on,
and
that
will
be
in
the
final
report
that
all
of
you
will
receive
and
then
and
we're
working
on
management's
response
with
that
as
well.
But
that
is
not
in
the
report
that
was
emailed
to
you
last
night.
So
look
for
that
to
be
coming.
N
N
We
will
be
issuing
also
a
management
letter
with
recommendations
in
full
transparency
and
as
an
assistance
to
you
whenever
we
come
across
things
that
we
think
could
be
improved
or
that
we
think
should
be
improved.
We
make
sure
and
communicate
those
to
you,
so
that
will
be
coming
addressed
to
the
Finance
Committee
and
to
management,
and
then
there's
also
required
communications
that
we
give
to
the
full
board,
so
that
will
be
coming
as
well.
N
We
we
had
one
compliance
finding
at
the
Health
Department.
It
did
not
result
in
a
modified
opinion
on
compliance
or
anything,
but
it
was
just
one
thing
that
we're
reporting
in
the
report-
and
we
didn't
have
anything
to
report
on
the
workforce
grants
Marcy
is
gonna,
go
into
the
financial
statement
highlights
and
Steve
kind
of
prefaced.
What's
coming
so
I'll
turn
over
to
Marcy.
N
O
You
for
having
us
again
this
morning,
as
Carmen
said
you
did
get
a
draft
emailed
to
all
of
you.
We
did
not,
and
of
saving
trees
did
not
print
that
150
pages.
For
you
again
this
morning,
we're
just
going
to
go
over
some
highlights.
One
thing,
I
would
encourage
you
to
do,
though,
when
you
get.
The
final
report
is
read
through
the
management,
discussion
and
analysis
at
the
front
of
the
report.
That
is
something
Steve
puts
together.
The
county
has,
to
put
it
together,
does
not
come
from
the
auditors.
O
It
will
give
you
a
lot
of
highlights
of
what
has
happened
and
some
information
for
the
future.
So
please
read
through
that.
It's
Steve
and
his
group
take
a
lot
of
time
to
do
that,
and
it
is
good
information
on
the
two
pages
that
we
did
pass
out.
I'm
going
to
touch
on
some
of
those
items
here,
as
Steve
has
indicated
your
general
fund
this
year,
and
we
gave
you
a
ten
year,
history
here
of
general
fund
pension,
the
highway,
which
those
are
considered,
your
major
funds
and
then
all
the
other
governmental
funds
put
together.
O
That
does
not
include
911
control;
it
does
include
everything
else
at
the
county.
So
if
you
see
that
top
line
there,
the
first
time
since
I
believe
it's
2011,
that
the
fund
general
fund
fund
balance
increased.
As
we
said,
it
is
still
a
deficit
of
2.6.
Last
year
it
was
4.2,
so
it's
exciting
to
see
that
you
guys
have
kind
of
turned
the
corner
and
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
and
they're
going
concern
in
a
few
minutes
here,
but
that
you
did
have
an
excess
in
the
general
fund.
O
If
we
exclude
the
tort
fund,
because
a
tort
is
combined
with
the
general
fund
in
these
numbers,
if
we
exclude
the
tort
fund,
your
excess
revenues
over
expenditures
in
the
general
fund
was
1.3
billion
dollars.
If
you
include
the
tort
you
at
1.6
overall,
the
governmental
funds,
which
is
this
whole
page,
is
moving
in
the
correct
in
the
right
direction.
Your
total
was
3.2
million
dollar
increase
over
last
year
in
all
of
those
funds.
So
you
guys
have
been
increasing
revenues.
You
know
out
of
the
inmate.
O
Revenue
obviously
has
gone
up,
but
you're
also
maintaining
control
over
expenditures
so
that
that
revenue
is
helping
build.
You
know
a
past
getting
closer
to
it,
but
as
their
fund
balance
overall
in
the
cash
flow
area,
which
you
don't
see
here
necessarily,
but
if
you
look
at
the
interfund
borrowing
a
note
12
of
the
draft,
and
it
will
be
no
12
in
the
final
which
I
said
you
have,
we
have
you've
got
yes
on
the
second
page.
Here
we
have
some
information
on
the
inter
fund
balances.
There.
O
One
thing
we'd
like
to
point
out,
and
we
came
over
and
talked
to
Monday
with
Stephen
Andy
and
Anita
to
go
through
our
final
kind
of
wrap
up
and
see
where
things
were
and
one
of
the
things
Andy
pointed
out
that
cash
flow
wise.
We
were
not
thinking
of,
as
there
was
$500,000
of
money
from
the
collector
fund
for
property
taxes
and
some
tax
penalties
that
came
in
in
the
first
week
of
December,
that's
recorded
as
revenue,
but
cash
flow
wise.
It
wasn't
in
your
cash
balances.
O
So
that's
one
of
the
things
when
we
were
talking
going
concern
we're
like
okay
in
the
past
that
has
been
in
cash
at
the
end
so
had
that
money
come
in
before
the
end
of
the
year,
you
would
have
had
a
half
million
less
of
interfund
borrowing.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind
when
you're
looking
through
numbers
there,
you
did
have
six
point:
nine
million
borrowed
at
the
end
of
the
year.
This
footnote
shows
six
point
six
and
then
you've
had
another
three
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
borrowed
from
what
is
called
an
agency
fund.
O
O
They
either
goes
into
the
TIF
funds
or
has
been
abated
in
the
Enterprise
Zone
funds
for
a
five-year
period,
so
that
money
hopefully
will
come
back
on
the
rolls
at
a
point
or
be
rebated
from
the
TIF
fund,
the
TIF
districts.
If
it's
not
spent,
it
comes
back
to
the
taxing
bodies,
I
believe
it
was
two
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars
that
the
Bradley
TIF
sent
back
to
you
recently,
so
that
money
they
said
it's
a
new
disclosure
that
you'd
not
seen
last
year.
O
As
far
as
the
going
concern
like
I
said
Monday,
we
came
over
and
talked
with
Steve
and
Andy,
and
at
that
point
we
did
still
have
the
going
concern.
Language
couldn't
excuse
me
in
our
report
and
we
were
talking
through
things
and
went
back
and
took
a
look.
We
said,
okay,
you
know,
let's
see
what
is
going
on
and
because
of
a
number
of
factors
we
decided.
O
It
was
time
to
remove
that
going
concern
there,
as
as
Steve
has
indicated,
some
significant
increases
in
the
general
fund
tort
funded
pension
first
time
in
a
number
of
years
that
there
has
been
that
increase.
You've
made
positive
steps
to
reduce
the
interfund
borrowing
over
the
next
few
years.
Steve
sent
over
to
us
his
projections
for
next
year
and
it
looks
like
there
will
be
about
2.6
million
dollars
of
interfund
borrowing
that
will
be
paid
back
if
the
budget
holds
true.
O
O
I
believe
that's
why
in
2014
we
started
the
going
concern
language
because
you
weren't
able
to
find
banks
at
that
point
that
wanted
to
loan
money
as
tax
anticipation
warrants
had
to
do
a
lot
of
bargaining
and
a
couple
of
banks
went
together
to
say:
ok,
we
will
help
this
situation.
You've
been
paying
down
and
taking
less
texts.
Anticipation
warrants
each
year
and
you've
been
moving
out.
The
dates
in
January
of
17
you'd
borrowed
three
million.
O
You
pushed
it
off
another
month
which
had
happened
the
year
before
also
borrowed
2.5
and
pushed
it
to
February
of
18.
So
our
understanding
is
that
the
banks
at
this
point
are
more
willing
to
work
with
you
for
that.
Those
loans,
like
I,
said
three
and
four
years
ago.
That
wasn't
the
case
so
again.
Another
indication
that
things
are
improving
contracts,
union
contracts
have
been
settled
during
2017
with
some
very
low
or
no
raises
very
immaterial.
Retro
pay
so
again
a
good
thing
that
helps
you
budget
for
the
future.
O
Here
you
also
had
in
May,
as
all
of
you
know
here,
the
agreement
with
Will
County
regarding
the
juvenile
detention
center
that
had
a
big
impact
we
were
able
to
record,
or
the
county
was
able
to
record
about
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
in
fiscal
17.
So
as
of
November
30th
of
17,
a
million
half
dollars
because
of
that
agreement
and
then
you're
going
to
be
receiving
in
cash,
a
million
and
as
of
1231,
you
still
had
about
three
million
dollars
of
credits
toward
future
rental
expense
over
there.
O
Any
money
that
is
left
at
22
I
believe
it
is
November
30th
of
22.
If
I
have
the
date
right,
you
will
receive
in
cash
if
there
is
any
money
left
there.
So
with
all
of
those
again,
as
I
said
before,
the
inmate
housing
revenue
continues
to
go
up
is
budgeted
to
go
up
and
there
have
been
some
steps
taken
to
help
control
that
over
time
at
the
correction.
So
with
all
of
those
things,
we
said,
okay,
it's
time
to
lift
this
and
move
forward.
So
that
is
a
positive
thing
again
kudos
to
everyone.
O
That's
been
working
to
get
those
things
done,
so
you
do
have
a
ways
to
go.
I
said
you
still
have
a
negative
fund
balance.
You've
still
got
the
interfund
borrowing,
but
you're
working
on
it
and
I
think
the
plan
that
is
in
place
will
get
you
I
believe
Andy.
If
I
remember
right,
Steve's
numbers
are
at
the
end
of
nineteen,
a
positive
general
fund
balance.
O
So
if
you
maintain
that
now,
three
or
four
years
ago,
that
goal
was
to
have
a
20
percent
positive
fund
balance
and
that's
in
the
footnotes,
you
know
that
that
was
the
goal
you
may
be
a
year
behind,
but
still
very
good.
So,
congratulations
to
all
of
you
for
making
those
things
happen,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
back
over
to
Carmen,
to
update
you
on
some
other
items
here.
N
At
the
beginning,
I
kind
of
told
you,
the
different
parts
of
the
audit
that
we
perform
and
one
other
part,
is
a
compliance
audit
that
we
do
perform
at
the
circuit
clerk.
The
state
requires
that
report,
so
that's
a
separately
issued
report
that
has
been
issued
in
draft
format
to
management
and
we'll
be
finalizing
that
in
the
next
week
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
for
the
opportunity
to
do
your
audit.
N
And
so
we
just
thank
you
for
that
opportunity,
and
we
thanks
for
the
thank
you
for
the
cooperation
from
all
of
the
different
departments
that
helped
us
get
this
done
timely
and
and
get
it
out
the
door
because,
as
you
can
see,
if
you
saw
in
the
email,
it's
a
large
report
with
a
lot
of
numbers
and
a
lot
of
information.
So
thank
you
again.
K
G
P
You,
mr.
chairman,
when
we,
when
it
does
come
back
next
month,
are
we
gonna
get
it?
We
received
this
at
4:35
last
night
and
I.
It
was
a
hundred
and
18
pages
and
I
didn't
print
it.
The
night
I
had
a
few
questions
about
it,
but
you
know.
Are
we
gonna
get
it
a
little
sooner,
so
we
have
time
to
digest
it.
It
should.
O
N
If
you
have
specific
questions
that
you
want
to
ask
to
us,
I
mean
feel
free
to
call
our
office.
If
you
have
questions
for
Steve
or
Andy
I'm
sure
in
between
you
can
call
them
as
well
I
mean,
and
if
you
want
to
ask
your
questions
today,
you
you're
welcome
to
do
that
too.
So.
Can
I
ask
a
follow-up
question.
N
P
M
O
Yeah,
it
certainly
will
not
hurt
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
they
look
at,
but
I'm
sure
lifting
a
going
concern
should
help
I
would
believe,
but
they
look
at
all
the
numbers.
Obviously,
the
increase
in
the
general
fund
in
that
should
help
also
I
would
think
that
they
would
go
up
but
I.
We
don't
work
with
the
bond
ratings.
D
M
Q
N
It's
it's
management
that
determines
to
put
that
language
in
the
footnote
and
we
as
auditors,
if
we
decide
that
there
is
issue,
is
an
issue
and
we
believe
the
language
to
be
in
there
and
management
doesn't
put
it
in
there.
Then
we
would
address
it
in
our
report.
So
it's
been
a
mutual
thing
to
include
that
language
and
management
propose
to
us
that
they
felt
because
of
these
increases
and
positive
direction,
that
they
would
want
to
consider,
removing
it
and
lifting.
And
then
we
concur.
N
O
All
of
that
type
of
thing-
and
they
said
then,
three
years
ago,
when
this
started,
the
t
aw
issue
was
a
big
concern,
because
if
that
money
had
not
come
in
what
were
you
going
to
do
and
it
was
going
to
be
letting
people
go
and
then
how
do
you
operate,
etc?
So,
like
I
said,
the
turn
I
think
has
been
made
and
that
borrowing
issue
is
net
out
there
at
this
point
in
time,
we
don't
believe
from
what
you
know,
Andy
and
Steve
have
indicated
and
what
the
numbers
are
showing.
O
So
it
is
somewhat
a
mutual
thing
like
Carmen
said,
if
we
believed
it
should
be
in
there
and
management
didn't
want
it,
because
the
financial
statements
and
the
footnotes
are
the
counties
we
can
recommend
and
we
do
prepare
them.
But
we
give
them
to
Steve
to
review
and
Andy
sees
them.
If
there
is
something
in
there
in
any
fashion,
that
they'd
say
no
you're
not
going
to
put
that
in
there,
then
we
would
have
to
adjust
our
opinion,
so
we
would
have
to
modify
that.
N
K
K
So
if
you
want
to
read
through
that,
when
you
have
time
I
distributed
this
to
the
media,
also
the
history,
all
of
that
stuff,
I'll
just
draw
attention
to
where
it
says
the
financials,
and
if
the
committee
has
questions
on
these,
we
can
go
through
it,
but
keiki
County
gets
five
and
a
half
million
dollars.
1
million
of
that
is
in
cash.
2
million
is
in
accounts
payable,
which
is
we're
paying
out
of
the
the
kitty.
K
This
committee
may
remember
that
it
was
a
30
year
agreement,
but
only
20
years
of
that
was
in
there
was
a
financial
arrangement
for
so
that
20
years
ended
in
December
of
all
November
30th
of
16,
and
so
that
whole
time
we've
been
negotiating
what
that
new
number
should
be.
Hence
we
didn't
pay
it
until
the
time
came
to
until
we
decided
what
the
number
should
be
so
so,
basically
we're
in
an
agreement
from
4:30
2018
to
11:30
of
22
per
the
schedule.
K
Will
counties
board
has
already
passed
this,
it's
1
through
their
executive
and
their
full
board,
so
when
our
board
approves
it
next
month
that
goes
into
effect
and
that
triggers
all
this.
You
know
the
financial
part
of
it
to
take
effect.
If
you
will
I
hope,
I
don't
perceive
any
problems
with
that
happen
and
get
the
full
board
executive
past
this
unanimous
yesterday.
K
So
really
at
the
end
of
the
agreement,
we
will
be
whenever
the
money
runs
out
or
at
the
end
of
eleven
thirty
twenty
twenty-two.
We
will
go
to
one
hundred
fifty
per
day
per
detainee
or
whatever
their
going
rate
is
they
may
raise
prices
between
now
and
then.
So
we
want
to
leave
that
in
there
in
case
they
go
to
160
as
it
stands
for
the
most
part
over
to
last,
since
well,
roughly
twenty
ten
we're
averaging
around
four
hundred
dollars
per
day
per
detainee.
K
Based
on
how
much
we
were
spending,
because
we
were
25
percent
holders
in
that
facility,
we're
no
longer
owners,
we
don't
own
the
building.
Nor
do
we
own
the
liability,
which
is
really
what
you
own,
if
you
don't
own
51%
of
any
building,
especially
when
the
revenue
is
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
year,
as
opposed
to
our
what
million
a
year
we
were
spending
roughly
Steve
yeah,
sometimes
1.2
1.3.
K
So
basically-
and
also
this
one
thing
has
changed
in
the
last
24
hours,
the
PBC
has
a
maintenance
fund,
that's
where
we
had.
If
you
remember,
we
had
drawn
money
out
of
that
to
do
courthouse,
work
and
things
like
that.
Other
types
of
infrastructure
week
ago
was
two
hundred.
Seventy
five
thousand
I
got
the
letter
that
the
PVC
and
Lowell
County
had
taken
out
what
60
grand.
So
it's
around
two
hundred
thousand
roughly
now
220
225
yeah,
so
that's
a
little
bit
lower,
but
they
should
not
be
taking
out
any
more
because
this
Agreement
ended.
K
As
of
you
know,
four
thirty,
so
that's
the
financial
side
of
it.
We're
able
to
predict
others.
Well,
I
should
mention.
There's
also
a
tort
fund
and
a
pension
fund
benefit
to
this
as
well,
because
we
were
in
for
25
percent
of
the
operations,
which
means
the
corrections
officers
pay
in
their
pension
and
liability
insurance.
Things
like
that
that
we're
on
the
hook
for
that
is
now
relieved.
So
some
of
the
things
you
saw
in
the
general
fund
impact
there's
also
a
pension
and
tort
fund
impact
as
well.
K
That's
in
our
favor,
but
we
do
have
a
continued
relationship
with
a
facility
with
in
Will
County
that
we're
glad
and
really
want
to
be
part
of
as
far
as
probation
and
the
chief
judge
and
the
entire
criminal
justice
system
here
wants
to
be
part
of,
they
run
a
good
operation
and
we
want
to
be
solid
customers
going
forward.
Hopefully
not
is
we.
Nobody
wants
to
have
to
send
a
juvenile
into
detention,
but
you
know
zero,
usually
only
the
ones
that
have
committed
some
type
of
heinous
crime.
K
K
We
wanted
to
just
focus
on
what
happened
up
until
2018,
where
the
general
fund
we
had
gone
from
16
from
a
four-point,
almost
nine
million
dollar
deficit
to
estimated
at
the
end
of
this
year,
it'll
be
a
nine
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
dollar
deficit,
roughly
in
a
total
fund
balance
of
a
positive
one
point
to
4
million.
Those
are
estimates
at
the
end
of
18.
It's
a
major
shift.
K
Now
Steve
was
going
to
talk
about
you
know
what
do
those
numbers
look
like
when
you
project
out
19,
20
and
21,
because
this
committee,
we
just
don't
operate
on,
what's
happening
today.
We
do
three
and
five-year
projections,
so
I
thought
it
was
important
that
finance
sees
well.
What
does
this
mean
for
us
going
forward
and
Steve
is
that
in
your
packet
and
information
yeah,
you
want
to
dress
that
now
to
let
them
know
what
the
next
three
years
look
like.
M
M
Yeah,
you
know
we
have
what's
in
front
of
it
is
just
the
the
detail
of
FY
18
would
take
some
time
on
or
if
you
just
want
to
review
it.
As
far
as
the
trend
that
all
the
department
heads
have
taken
a
look
at
and
including
the
1
million
dollar
payment
from
from
the
the
will
County,
the
new
will
County
and
Kinki
County
agreement.
So
if
we
take
and
extend
out
the
trend
so
in
going
forward
both
toward
pension
and
and
the
general
fund,
this
is
the
pace
that
we're
on.
M
If
you
will
not
only
for
fiscal
year
18,
but
if
we
can
continue
it
out
to
19
and
20
the
combined
general
plan,
our
combined
fund
balance
for
Jonathan
Horton
pension
will
be
close
to
5.5
million
dollars.
So
by
the
end
of
nineteen,
as
you
can
see,
the
general
fund
is
back
in
it
in
a
positive
range
as
well
on
its
own.
So
this
is
the
financial
progress
and
the
trend
that
we
have
going
right
now
and.
K
K
That's
the
the
general
goal
for
this
committee
to
consider
to
know
that's
what
we're
pushing
to
have
one
source
of
any
funding
we
need
and
then
hopefully,
once
we
get
back
to
that
2008
level,
because
we're
not
that
far
off.
You
know
as
far
as
fund
balances
we
we
are
our
own
Bank.
At
that
point,
we
don't
need
to
go
out.
Forty
AWS
until
we
have
you
know,
then
we're
at
nine
point
six
ten
million
dollars
as
far
as
overall
fund
balances.
A
For
those
of
you
who
don't
remember
or
we're
here,
the
difference
between
808
and
o9
was
because
of
an
arbitration
loss.
We
lost
an
arbitration
case
for
over
three
million
in
back
pay
and
the
arbitrator's
took
one
look
at
that
five
million
dollar
balance
and
ruled
in
favor
of
the
Union.
So
one
of
the
catch-22
situations
you
have
in
our
form
of
government
is
when
you
get
a
balance
and
you
come
up
to
a
labor
union
contract.
A
A
I
Mr.
surage
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
and
duly
noted
with
that
bit
of
history,
because
we
don't
want
to
repeat
ourselves.
If
we
can,
you
know
prevent
it.
I
mean
I,
see
a
question
on
the
the
will
County
payables,
the
two
million
have
we've
already
spent
it.
The
two
million
in
payables
I'm,
looking
at
your
cash
flow
analysis,
and
it
looks
like
April
18,
we've
already
spent.
The
two
million
in
February
and
March
is:
is
that
how
I'm
reading
that
that
page.
K
K
I
M
Q
Mr.
Mulcahy
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
this
might
be
answered
by
Andy
a
little
better.
You
Andy,
you
touched
on
as
our
fund
balances
begin
to
get
healthier
and
we
might,
instead
of
needing
to
inter
fund,
borrow
and
borrow
from
banks
that
we
might
be
just
using
one
source.
Would
we
go
to
banks
for
tea
AWS,
or
would
we
do
interfund
balancing
with
no
interest
payments.
K
My
my
intention:
wasn't
it
again:
it's
a
decision
for
all
of
the
Finance
Committee,
but
I
would
use
banks.
I
would
give
our
locals
the
shot
to
do
that
business
instead
of
borrowing
from
interfund
to
get
away
from
the
Interphone
practice.
All
together,
I
think
we've
all
found
it
distasteful,
but
we
were
in
survival
mode
because
we
really
could
not.
Even
we
could
not
even
operate
any
departments.
I
mean
run
an
election
record,
a
deed,
do
it.
Mary
would
have
shut
down
without
interfund
borrowing
and
I.
M
Well,
sometimes
you
try
to
make
it
flow
in
discussion
brings
a
different
flow
to
it,
which
is
fine,
not
the
to
go
back,
but
we
have,
like
I,
said
the
FY
18
information
and
trend,
both
revenue
and
expense
by
Department.
Some
of
you
may
have
already
thumb
through
it.
I
don't
know.
If
there's
any
questions
or
not
like
I
said,
we've
communicated
to
all
departments
to
get
their
feedback
on
their
trends.
So.
A
M
On
page
one
I
bolded
the
miscellaneous
income,
that's
where
the
we
expected
the
million
dollar
payment
once
all
the
new
idea
is,
is
completed,
we'll
plug
in
under
administration
there
at
one
time
payment
going
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
outline
the
highlights
that
for
you,
where
that's
going
to
land
and
then
for
the
sheriff
response.
The
other
big
item
is
the
rent
out
of
county
Reynold,
lying
on
page
four
of
the
revenue
they're
estimating
that
they're
near
attend
heading
and
the
paces
on
for
potentially
a
ten
million
dollar
year
for
the
inmate
rental
program.
M
M
We're
all
in
the
cash
flow
analysis,
now
the
NICTA
doing
distribution
early
May
for
the
three
million.
We
appreciate
that
it
did
allow
us
to
catch
up
a
lot
of
our
AP,
so
our
ap
numbers
definitely
changed
with
the
will
economy,
the
new
Will,
County,
IgA
and
then
getting
the
early
distribution
and
getting
our
vendors
were
within
sixty
days
and
even
in
May
in
previous
years,
we've
never
been
at
sixty
days
in
May.
It's
always
been
July
after
the
the
first
distribution
that
we
were
able
to
do
that
so
from
a
cash
flow
standpoint.
M
M
Be
extending
out
the
cash
flow
here
soon
we've
been
spending
all
of
our
time
on
this
year
and
there
and
the
kafir'
report,
and
although
you're
in
information
with
the
auditors
so
well
well
we'll
work
on
well
get
this
extended
out
here
soon.
So
when
we're
coming
up
close
to
here,
July
some
we'll
get
that
done.
M
P
I
You
I
was
gonna,
say
the
same
thing,
Steve
that
maybe
if,
if
it's,
if
you
need
to
do
this
daily,
you
know
if
you
worked
on
this
put
this
packet
together
this
morning.
Maybe
we
could
have
it
when
the
meeting
started
and
not
right
before
you
get
up
there.
It
is
a
little
tough
to
unless
you
know,
specifically
where
you're
looking
at
it.
It's
kind
of
tough
to
hear.
M
K
M
We
are
expecting
50,
approximately
55
thousand
dollar
credit
on
a
data
line
plus
a
$3,500
a
month
savings
going
forward,
it's
an
item
once
we
were
able
to
get
up
to
full
speed
and
as
part
of
our
audit
procedures,
you're
in
close
procedures
we
identified
and
got
after
AT&T.
It
takes
a
few
months
for
the
for
that
to
start
coming
through.
But
the
interesting
part
is
this:
is
the
additionally.
M
This
will
be
adding
to
a
twenty
three
thousand
dollar
credit
that
happened
the
beginning
of
last
year
why
this
account
has
been
unusual
with
AT&T,
but
they
started
billing
us
before
the
line
was
even
the
function
was
even
operational,
and
so
we
were
able
to
identify
that
it
had
bids
and
everything
on
it
and
and
my
time
that
credit
got
done
and
come
through
and
then
when
they
actually
started
doing
it
correctly.
Then
we
found
that
there
was.
They
were
billing
us
too
high.
M
So
we've
been
running
around
on
one
account,
but
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
it's
it's
a
large
dollar
amount
happy
to
find
that
and
work
with
AT&T,
but
it's
not.
This
is
getting
something
turned
around
with
AT&T
is
about
a
six-month
process
really
and
to
get
it
all
done.
So
we
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
we'll
we'll
be
seeing
that
show
up
soon
and
the
utility
in
the
utility
line
will
also.
You
know,
see
that
benefit
going
forward.
K
A
M
And
then
the
the
final
item
for
your
consideration
is
an
update.
Fiscal
policy
and
procedure
manual
is
came
to
existence
in
early
to
mid-2000s
to
bring
us
in
the
federal
grant.
Compliance
has
been
approved
by
the
board
and
updated
numerous
times.
The
current
update,
which
I
believe
you
have
a
copy
of
with
your
agenda.
M
There
are
changes
through
the
federal
federal
grant,
language
and
procurement
purchasing
when
items
are
purchased,
using
federal
grant
dollars
additional
restriction
and
guidelines
for
us
to
stay
in
compliance.
So
it
was
we
needed
to
update
this
document
and
go
back
to
the
full
board
for
approval.
So
it's
about
a
12
page
document,
so
it
was
pulled
out
the
items
that
have
primarily
have
changed
and
for
your
review
or
if
you
have
any
questions,
this
is
a
pretty
straight
board
right
from
the.
M
The
name
for
the
term
for
the
uniform
guidance
that
Durst
accept
our
federal
grants,
so
we're
bringing
that
for
recommendation.
The
state's
attorney's
office
has
reviewed
and
approved
the
changes,
and
so
it's
before
you
for
our
federal
grant
purposes
and
it's
mandatory,
because
if
we
did
not
do
this,
that
could
create
a
finding.
So
the
fact
that
it's
been
in
motion
and
done
that
it
made
it
through
this
year's
audit,
because
it's
in
motion-
and
you
know
it's
in
the
review
process-
and
now
it's
here
for
consideration.
M
A
P
You,
mr.
chairman,
again
Steve
I
I'm,
not
trying
to
slam
on
your
department
today,
but
we
received
this
at
4:02
yesterday
and
it's
11
pages
and
I
had
to
dig
through
the
online
files
and
find
the
existing
policy
because
we
were
provided
it
with
no
markups.
So
I
had
no
idea
what
had
changed
and
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
On
the
first
page,
page
1,
you
removed
the
statement,
fiscal
procedures
will
be
reviewed
annually
and
I
wondered
why
we
would
not
want
to
review
our
fiscal
procedures
annually.
M
K
You
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman,
those
recommendations
came
directly
from
the
documents
use
you
all
see
in
front
of
you
was
edited
and
the
changes
recommended
based
on
their
interpretations
of
the
the
legal
requirements
as
they
stand
right
now
as
to
address
another
set
of
comments
that
we
heard
earlier.
There
are
opinions
with
the
attorney
we're
looking
for
an
opinion
from
the
Attorney
General
on
one
central
issue.
Those
changes
were
not
accepted
by
the
state's
attorney's
office.
They
gave
them
to
us
and
said
these
are
what
the
auditor
would
like
us
to
change.
K
The
auditor
does
not
set
policy
for
this
committee
can
recommend
all
day
long
and
and
we
I
guess
so.
That's
where
we're
at
right
now.
There
is
no
to
your
question
that
that
that
line
was
removed
by
the
state's
attorney's
office,
and
if
there
is
a
specific
reason
I
would
say,
maybe
that
would
be
addressed
towards
the
state's
attorney's
office
because
they
didn't
explain.
They
told
me
that
they
removed
some
shells
and
wills
and
kind
of
cleaned
up
some
language,
minor
changes
and
then
the
only
major
changes
where
this
grant
management
part
of
it.
K
So
that's
I.
It's
about
the
the
excited
spoke
with
the
state's
attorney
this
morning
and
also
the
system
state's
attorney
Quinn.
To
make
sure
I
was
clear
on
the
documents
they
sent
us
and
their
non
position.
If
you
will
on
beyond
anything
else
that
they've
already
made
opinions
on
the
validity
or
non
validity
of
the
statements
of
the
auditor.
A
P
Thank
you.
Mr.
chairman,
the
only
other
question
I
heard
specifically
about
the
content
was
on
page
four.
It
says
the
payroll
manager
is
the
only
employee
with
administrative
access
to
Paylocity
which
I
understand,
but
what,
if
that
person
you
know,
gets
hits
back
hit
by
a
bus
or
something
like?
Do
we
not
have
any
kind
of
backup
on
that?
It
just
scares
me
that
in
county
government
only
one
person
has
access
to
it.
Mr.
K
K
M
You
know
additional
information
and
we
get
a
lot
of
support
from
our
departments
and
they're,
helping
in
gathering
that
and
providing
us
every
year,
and
specifically
chairman
Whelan
admin,
Department
Chris
and
Evelyn
Tracy
and
even
Nicole.
We
had
a
manifold
during
the
audit
process.
She
was
here
for
last
years
and
then
after
she
left
in
June
and
we
went
through.
We
had
some
questions
and
on
her
own
time
she
was.
M
M
The
county
clerk
has
number
of
pages
in
the
stat
assessment,
provides
information,
treasurer's
office
specifically
for
specific
information,
so
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
and
we
plug
a
lot
of
people
as
well
as
the
outside
auditors
bugging
people
as
far
as
trying
to
gather
so
we
appreciate
their
patience
and
their
cooperation
and
their
time
that
would
goes
into
the
report
as
well.
Mr.
K
I
did
have
one
question:
it's
something
that
recently
came
up.
Do
you
when
you
get
between
the
auditor's
office
and
the
finance
department?
Do
you
get
separate
piles
of
things
that
are
in
question
that
are
objected
to
versus
everything
else?
That's
just
approved
or
I
want
to
say
clean.
If
you
will
going
through
that,
you
just
need
to
be
entered
into
the
system.
Do
you
get
different,
segregated
piles?
If
you
will
there's
it
all
mixed
together,
everything
comes
down
to.
M
K
There
was
a
dialogue
that
happened
between
the
two
to
go
through
that
and
then,
if
there
was
still
an
objection,
then
it
would
come
before
this
committee
right
so
there
what
I'm?
There
are
some
situations
that
have
come
up
with
question
payments
on
reimbursements
or
payments
to
other
entities
that
have
been
processed
through
your
department
without
coming
before
this
board
and
before
this
committee,
and
knowing
that
there
was
a
question
and
it's
it's
causing
some
difficulty
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
ask
that
those
piles
be
separated
going
in
the
future.
K
If
your
in
your
opinion
would
help
mitigate
that
problem,
because
in
in
essence
it's
basically,
you
guys
are
having
or
not
putting
processing
in
for
checks
for
amounts
that
are
less
than
would
have
been
submitted
without
the
authority
of
this
committee,
but
you're
missing
it
in
the
big
pile
of
everything.
You
don't
know
what's
question
and
what's
not
so
I'm
wondering
with
that
help
yeah.
M
That
would
definitely
help
if
there's
a
question
and
if
we're
the
ones
that
need
to
bring
that,
because
before
we
were
not
the
ones
that
were
responsible
for
bringing
that
it
was,
the
auditor's
office
would
bring
the
questions.
But
if
that's
our
responsibility
then
we're
it
would
certainly
help
to
to
pull
that
so
that
that's
a
new
process
that
you
want
me
to
include.
We
will
add
that
in
its
I
we
need
to
figure
something
not
aware
that
it's.
K
Happening
it's
happening
is
the
fact
of
what
it
is.
It's
basically
either
the
intent
or
the
non
intent
is
it's
circumventing
the
approval
process
and
checks
are
being
cut
beyond
what
the
submitted
claim
was
or
below
or
what
it
takes
is
causing
friction.
People
are
upset
upset
with
you
and
you
guys
are
just
processing
burning
through
paperwork,
and
we
need
to
get
better
I.
Don't
want
to
think
it's
intentional
I
would
like
to
say
it,
so
we
can
do
it
as
a
process.
Improvement
yeah,
no,
will
in
any
way
yeah.
M
E
E
Most
of
the
deviations
you
see
are
due
to
the
timing
of
cash
as
to
when
we
either
received
cash.
In
again,
with
the
increases
at
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security
and
some
of
the
other
revenue
increases,
we've
received
the
early
tax
distribution
you're
able
to
pay
more
out,
as
you
continue
to
balance
being
able
to
meet
payroll,
I
am
RF
and
other
obligations,
vendor
payments,
etc.
E
So
that
is
pretty
much
the
crux
of
the
deviations
you
see
when
you
look
at
special
funds,
just
as
a
reminder,
fun
900,
which
is
payroll
clearing,
is
generally
the
big
one
in
that
fund.
That
makes
it
seem
like
we're
spending
a
ton
of
money
in
special
funds,
the
there's
one
payroll
wire
that
goes
out
and
then
from
an
accounting
standpoint.
The
entries
are
made
in
order
to
book
those
payroll
transactions
for
those
specific
individuals
to
the
correct
fund
out
of
the
payroll
clearing
fund.
E
This
past
situation
happened
simply
because
the
elected
official
opted
not
to
be
sent
that
analysis,
and
so
we
just
sent
it
on
with
what
we
were
willing
to
recommend
it
got
processed
through,
and
then
there
was
heartburn.
So
there
was
a
subsequent
meeting
that
we
were
able
to
agree
with
what
we
believed
was
accurate,
based
on
the
Illinois
compiled
statutes,
article
8
of
the
Illinois
Constitution,
IRS
statements
etc,
and
we
came
to
an
agreement
there,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
they're
still
upset,
but
we
try
to
handle
things
at
the
lowest
level.
E
These
meetings
are
recorded,
live,
and
you
know
it
could
be
an
embarrassment,
especially
for
an
elected
official
talking
about
something
that
could
be
handled
without
bringing
to
the
committee
the
only
time
we
would
recommend
it
come
to
the
committee
as
if
we
can't
reach
an
agreement
and
then
we'll
bring
it
to
the
committee
and
then
the
committee
can
decide,
because
again
we
only
recommend
the
authority
to
dispense.
Funds
from
the
County
Treasury
rests
with
the
board,
always
has
always
will
so.
E
There
is
no
argument
there
and
I
just
want
to
kind
of
clear
that
up,
and
let
folks
know
that
generally
that's
how
things
happen.
This
past
situation
was
a
deviation
from
that
process,
not
by
our
doing
and
so
we're
going
to
do
our
part
to
try
to
correct
that.
I
will
say
that
we
had
another
situation
where
the
state's
attorney
actually
paid
a
check
to
the
county
to
cover
his
employees,
who
he
believed
or
who
we
believed,
went
beyond
their
allowable
amounts
as
it
relates
to
the
per
diems
dictated
by
the
GSA
schedule.
E
So
I
want
to
point
that
out.
We
have
these
things
at
the
lowest
level,
and
that
is
evidence
and
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
state's
attorney
for
for
doing
that.
That
is
way
above
and
beyond
anything
we
would
ever
recommend,
but
he
felt
obligated
to
write
a
check
to
the
county
to
reimburse
those
expenses.
So
that's
what
I
would
say
about
that.
Are
there
any
other
questions
about
last
month's
report.
A
K
Miller's
our
bond
council
and
that
skill
set
does
not
exist
here.
They've
been
tied
to
the
will
County
juvenile
detention
center
ever
since
those
bonds
were
floated.
Those
were
the
original
attorneys
we
use
and
will
continue
to
use,
and
there
were
actually
clearing
up
the
last
part
of
that
agreement
for
us
up
there
right
now.
As
far
as
the
maintenance
fund,
the
other
one
was
somebody
that
the
previous
state's
attorney
used
to
handle
a
grievance
that
has
been
ongoing
since
that
time
period.
K
So
it
is
my
practice
at
this
point
to
work
with
the
appellate
prosecutor's
office,
specifically
David
hebben,
for
these
types
of
issues,
so
I
don't
hire
those
people
outside
of
this
area.
This
is
a
legacy
that
we're
still
dealing
with
and
if
this
issue
were
to
come
back
again,
which
it
still
could
I
would
venture
to
say
that
I
would
not
be
entertaining
any
a
counsel
from
outside
of
this
area
to
handle
that
it's
a
better
deal
with
the
Appel
oppressor
prosecutor's
office
and
we've
got
a
good
one.
There.
F
C
A
R
I
came
to
our
Community
Services
Committee
and
requested
that
the
department
was
able
to
add
a
part-time
clerical
person.
Currently,
we
have
a
part-time
that
person
we're
open
six
days
a
week,
so
that
person
only
works
three
days
out
of
those
six.
It
leaves
us
short-handed.
If
that
person
is
gone,
there's
no
one
to
cover.
We
often
find
ourselves
because
we're
open
all
day,
we
don't
for
lunch.
It
makes
it
a
little
bit
difficult.
R
It
makes
it
difficult
on
Saturdays
because
we're
extremely
short-handed
on
Mondays
and
Saturdays,
because
we
split
our
small
staff
throughout
those
six
days
and
we
find
ourselves
oftentimes
in
a
pickle
not
being
able
to
do
what
we
need
to
do.
There's
a
lot
of
clerical
responsibilities
with
the
rabies
and
I
think
it
would
be
beneficial
to
have
this
additional
employee.
The
current
part-time
employee
did
not
want
to
extend
her
hours,
so
I
felt
that
adding
a
an
additional
part-time
employee
would
help
us
meet
our
needs
and
did
not
be.
