of
November,

we've
been
doing
with
the
new

the
four

in
place
last
year
as
well.
D
We've
taken
in
just
a
little
over
a
million
so
far
this
year.
So
we're
pleased
by
that.
We,

about
the
last
week,

I'm
happy

Thank

Mr.
McCarty,
you

a
packet
available
start
to
through
some
of
the
miscellaneous
financial
reports,
and
discussion
will
be
open.
G
Good
morning
of
update
information
for
you
this
morning,
let
you
know
that
our
2018
Kaffir
report
will
be
here
for
review
at
the
May
meeting
and
we'll
try
to
get
that
out
to
as
soon
as
it's
available
to
do
so
for
your
review.
We
do
have
a
May
31st
deadline
with
the
SEC
reporting
for
the
bond
website
for
bond
investors
called
Emma
amongst
other
reporting
requirements,
so
we'll
be
moving
that
along
here
soon.
So
we'll
have
that,
for
you,
review
start
out
with
the
miscellaneous
update
reports
start
out.
G
A
G
G
G
I
want
to
preface
the
this
cash
flow
update,
we're
heading
into
we'll,
be
our
normal.
You
know,
has
been
our
normal
and
will
be
the
the
the
lowest
cash
on
hand.
Time
coming
up
approximately
around
the
may
tenth
payroll,
but
preface
this
we're
we're
sitting
today
with
before
this
week's
payroll
at
about
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
and
put
that
in
perspective.
G
Just
a
few
years
ago,
after
our
ta
W
said
we
had
one
in
December
and
then
we
started
in
January
getting
the
tea,
a
double
use.
That
was
our
dollar
amount
balance
after
the
TA
W
deposit,
and
we
had
basically
survived
between
December
and
made
a
June
area
with
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
and
make
that
stretch
so
coming
into
having
to
make
three
and
a
half
million
dollar
stretch
for
a
few
weeks
as
compared
to
four
or
five
months
is
so
much
better.
So
I
preface
that
and
I
can
say,
with
a
smile.
G
Yeah,
the
the
pressure
comparison
is
not
even
a
comparison
at
this
point,
so
you
know,
and
likewise
the
accounts
payable
because
of
we
had
managed
that
that
amount
of
money
for
so
long
the
accounts
payable,
was
always
the
highest
when
you
get
that
late,
April
and
May,
because
after
it's
three
payrolls
I
mean
so
our
highest.
You
know
if
you
look
at
the
end
of
March
845,000
approximately
was
in
the
system
as
the
snapshot
at
the
end
of
the
month.
G
We
we
saw
as
high
as
three
point
eight
million
in
the
in
the
system
and
as
of
its
highest
time
a
few
years
ago,
and
and
that's
why
the
vendors
it
got
stretched
out,
it
grew
and
it
stretched
out
to
120
plus
day,
so
we're
currently
heading
into
these
few
weeks,
still
at
30
to
45
days
and
our
normal
vendors,
and
we
have
you
know
per
statute
60
days.
You
know
a
60
day
window,
so
we're
well
within
our
limitation,
and
you
know
if
we
depending
on
timing,
you
know
cash
flow,
the
the
snapshot.
G
G
You
know
our
lowest
timeframe
here
around
the
may.
Tenth
payroll
but
it'll
be
a
very
short
lived
situation
and
it's
mainly
about
timing.
You
know
we
we
get
about
30
percent
of
our
deposits
between
the
first
and
the
fifteenth
of
the
month
and
70%
of
our
deposits
from
the
16th
to
the
end
of
the
month.
So
that's
why
you
know
sometimes
the
early
part
when
those
pets,
the
first
payroll,
hits
in
that
first
section.
G
We
can,
you
know,
sometimes
see
the
lowest
cash
flow
timing,
so
so
I'll,
just
disclosure
sharing
that
this
you
know,
maybe
the
last
time
we
have
to
talk
about
numbers
is
low
from
a
cash
perspective
as
things
continuing
to
improve
and
we're
seeing
improvements
every
day.
So
I
don't
want
to
you
know,
but
too
much
of
a
negative
spin
other
than
just
a
share.
G
G
That's
why
that
number
is
so
large
so
and
then
we'll
go
to
approximately.
You
know
what
the
estimate
is
at
this
point
looking
forward
and
we'll
continue
to
watch
all
that
as
well
as
and
watch
and
everything
and
you
know,
continually
update
this
on
trend
going
forward.
But
that's
why
really
the
the
bed
rental
transport
line
is
kind
of
up
and
down
because
it
all
is
related
to
when
the
feds
shut
down
and
then,
when
those
timing
of
those
payments
actually
got
caught
back
up.
G
A
G
G
Property
tax
extension,
the
purpose
of
the
limitation
model
yeah,
that's
basically
our
tax
cap,
that's
what
it's
also
commonly
referred
to.
You
know:
there's
a
lot
of
information
as
specifically
have
questions
that
might
be
best
to
talk
to
Eric,
Blair
or
Dan
Hendrickson.
It
originates
in
the
assessor's
office,
gets
the
County
Clerk's
office
and
then
ends
up
in
the
treasurer's
office
when
the
tax
bills
go
out.
So
this
the
information
goes
through,
you
know,
then
we
look
at
the
the
amounts
for
the
budget
and
we're
were
goes
through.
G
The
the
process,
the
you
know,
there's
a
review
process
for
the
review
process
and
you
know
coming
out
so
sometimes
what
the
original
estimates
can't
change
depending
on
the
board
of
review.
But
so
everything
is
very
similar
to
to
what
we
budgeted
and
the
the
highest
percentage
as
we
identified
when
we
did
the
levy
request,
isn't
it
was
for
BAC,
which
got
a
8.2
percent
year-over-year
change
from
tax
or
2017
to
this
one
textured
2018
collected
in
2019,
so.
A
G
A
A
motion
to
approve
the
claim
acceptance
by
mr.
Sorenson
any
questions
on
the
motion.
This
is
a
conference
that
mr.
Lee,
attended
and
I
think
his
practice
is
this.
He
requests
the
Finance
Committee
approve
all
these
claims,
rather
than
and
just
submitting
them
without
any
suggestion.
So
that's
why
we're
this
has
been
brought
to
our
attention.
A
B
I
A
H
You
that
guess
is
probably
two
answers:
I
can
guesstimate
that
the
hotel
is
part
of
it
part
of
the
registration.
Sometimes
that
is
the
case
for
these
conferences.
The
other
thing
is
it
comes
here
because
the
auditor
can't
approve
his
own
bills.
You
can't
audit
his
own
work.
If
that
makes
sense
all
right,
so
we
have
to
check
in
to
make
sure
all
the
substantiation
and
documentation
this
came
off
at
a
previous
meeting,
so
we
understanding
it
to
somebody
else.
Who's.
H
For
mr.
McCarty,
okay,
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I
had
to
kind
of
ask
you
a
couple
of
questions
about
a
situation
that
came
up
around
year-end
close
and
sorry.
I
didn't
alert
you
them
before.
He
started
to
let
Steve
get
away
from
us,
but
it
had
to
do
with
the
the
changes
that
we
do
to
the
budget
every
year.
At
the
end
of
the
year.
We
do
take
our
our
contingency
budget.
If
you
will
and
fill
the
holes.
If
somebody
slightly
over
budget,
we
we
tend
to
fill
in
those
budget
holes.
H
G
H
The
end
of
the
year,
okay
and
then
just
this,
because
this
has
come
back
up
again
and
I-
want
to
make
sure
the
committee
remembers.
You
know
what
happened
for
those
members
who
weren't
on
the
board.
Then
we
took
a
snapshot
of
what
we
thought
were
his
budget
was
that
morning
actually-
and
the
auditor
didn't
present
anything
to
us
at
the
meeting
at
the
Finance
Committee
meeting,
which
he
chose
not
to
attend
but
didn't
present
anything
saying
that
he
had
more
expenses
coming
in.
So
we
let
that
ride
that
day
and
adjusted
the
budget.
H
The
question
that
I
had
was
was
we
had
those
those
expenses
come
in
and
made
him
over
budget?
But
then
we
also
received
some
reimbursements
from
911
for
doing
their
auditing
work
for
doing
their
finance
work
and
for
doing
their
payroll.
Is
that
that's
a
regular
thing
that
always
happens
usually
on
a
monthly
or
quarterly
basis?
I,
don't
know.
How
frequently
is
that
correct
employer,
and
so
we
allocate
those
percentage-wise
to
different
departments,
and
so,
when
those
were
allocated
by
the
treasurer's
office
by
Diana,
she
put
the
normal
amounts
in
and
then
she
went
on.
H
H
Take
a
small
portion
of
what
went
into
finance
and
plug
that
hole,
so
he's
not
over
budget,
and
so
Steve
did
a
journal,
voucher
and
move
that
money
over
to
zero
out
that
budget
and
I
want
to
make
sure
the
Finance
Committee
knows
that
was
done
with
the
authority
vested
in
me
because
it
didn't
change.
The
final
number
of
the
budget
had
just
moved
money
between
one
fund
and
another.
H
It's
come
up
because
the
the
auditor
had
went
to
our
outside
auditors
who
were
doing
the
audit
right
now
and
raised
the
question
and
thought
it
was
something
that
was
I
wasn't
there,
but
maybe
miss
appropriate
for
them
to
look
into.
They
did
in
an
internal
many
investigation
if
he
will
talk
to
Steve
talk
to
Anita
talk
to
me
and-
and
that
was
determined
that
by
the
outside
auditor,
wasn't
anything
that
was
egregious
anything
that
was
systemic,
anything
that
was
illegal
well
within
our
purview
and
I
went
the
auditor.
H
He
said
that
he
agreed
that
it
wasn't
systemic
and
there's
systemic
and
there
was
not
a
pattern
of
abuse
or
any
other
instance
that
he
could
appoint
to
where
it
had
happened
before
so.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
committee
knows
that,
because
it
has
now
come
up
again
and
in
recent
comments
and-
and
it
may
come
up
and
through
other
avenues
through
the
media.
We're
being
asked
questions
about
this,
so
I
want
to
give
the
committee
a
chance
to
know
this
is
things
that
go
on
behind
the
scenes.
H
H
So
I
want
to
make
sure
this
committee
has
a
chance
to
ask
any
questions
of
us
while
we're
here,
because
the
last
thing
I
want
to
do
is
to
see
any
questions
that
may
come
out
in
the
media
regarding
this,
because
it
seems
that
that
what
we
did
was
fine
two
weeks
ago
or
three
weeks
ago
with
everybody,
but
maybe
not
fine.
Now
so
I
want
to
make
sure
and
we're
here
Steve's
here
you
can
answer
any
of
this.
A
A
H
We
will,
when
the
when
the
outside
auditors
are
here
to
present
the
final
budget.
Ask
the
questions
at
that
point
as
well.
They
come
in
to
produce
the
final
budget
they're,
not
at
the
opinion
that
this
was
a
substitutive
issue,
that
it
was
something
that
was
gonna
appear
in
as
an
audit
finding,
because
it
was
a
one-off
that
wasn't
just
somebody
forgot
to
write
on
a
sticky
note
journal
voucher
done,
/,
okay,
chairman
wheeler,
that
was
that
was
it.
A
F
F
Haven't
really
gone
down,
I,
don't
know
if
that's
a
good
thing
or
bad
thing,
but
our
our
local
numbers
seem
to
be
steady
right
around
260,
give
or
take
depending
on
the
day
after
a
weekend.
We're
averaging
about
265
is
the
through
March,
as,
as
the
number
says
on
our
sheet
that
you
should
have
all
been
emailed
prior
to
the
criminal-justice
meeting.
So
any
questions
on
that.
A
A
F
$400,000,
each
year
for
a
total
of
two
million
dollars
over
five
year
period,
it
is
effective
through
September
of
2023
and
the
majority
of
those
dollars.
80
percent
approximately
80%
are
for
contractual
health
care,
drug
treatment
and
mental
health
treatment,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
you've
heard
a
lot
of
people
talk
about,
including
our
coroner
with
with
the
opioids
and
and
the
grants
that
he's
received
a
lot
of
grants
that
are
out
there.
F
Don't
involve
treatment
and
that's
problematic,
because
that's
what
people
need
I
mean
the
education
is
great
and
and
and
bob
has
done
a
great
job
with
the
with
the
education
and
the
training
and
things
like
that.
But
these
individuals
need
treatment,
and
so
this
grant
I
think
is
going
to
address
some
of
that.
It
won't
cover
all
of
it,
but
it'll
cover
some
of
it,
but
24.
The
other
20%
of
the
grant
is
basically
administration
costs.
H
Yeah
it'sit's:
this
has
been
a
process.
We
knew
we've
had
it
for
a
while,
but
being
able
to
gear
up,
for
it
is
been
daunting,
I
guess,
because
it's
a
basically
doubles
the
drug
court
right,
which
is
a
good
thing,
actually
gets
people
into
treatment
and
out
of
jail.
But
it's
there's
a
lot
of
service
providers,
a
lot
of
paperwork
that
has
to
be
done.
Do
you
remember
that
the
amount
was
it
500
a
year
600
a
year,
four.
H
H
We
have
with
the
budget
can't
support
that
right
now
and
as
much
as
we
would
like
to,
we
couldn't
maybe
down
the
road
we
could,
and
so
the
ask
is:
is
we
realize
we
need
to
put
in
front
of
the
committee,
because,
even
though
we're
getting
reimbursed
we're
gonna
be
spending
the
money,
and
so
that
was
kind
of
an
afterthought
like
wow?
We
need
to
get
the
committee
to
approve
this
because
we're
just
running
trying
to
say.
F
It's
very
I
mean
just
the
treatment
alone,
both
drug
treatment
and
mental
health
treatment.
I,
don't
know
that
the
average
person
out
there
on
realizes
the
the
lack
of
mental
health
treatment
that
we
have
available
to
to
people
who
need
it
is
Jail,
so
kind
of
turned
into
that
quasi
mental
health
facility.
Now,
and
so
this
will.
This
will
help
a
lot
with
both
drug
drug
treatment
and
mental
health
treatment.
Mr.
H
C
I
H
One
thing
I
do
need
to
mention
is:
is
that,
along
with
that
motion
to
approve
it
also
needs
to
allow
the
County
Board
Chairman
to
sign
the
sub
contracts
with
these
providers?
So
that
needs
to
be
an
assumption
made
by
those
who
made
the
motion
because
we
don't
want
have
to
come
back
and
have
each
one
contract
ago.
Mr.
A
B
F
F
F
They
are
also
offering
financing,
so
we
are
getting.
Some
financing
quotes
that
we
will
bring
before
this
committee,
hopefully
within
the
next
month,
or
maybe
two
but
I
can
tell
you
that
what
we
did
instead
of
having
the
coroner's
office,
bring
you
a
quote
for
their
radios
in
our
office.
Bring
you
a
quote
for
our
radios.
We
did
combine
them
so
that
we're
just
doing
one
payment
on
a
lease
instead
of
two
different
ones,
provided
you
approve
it.
So
that's
all
I
got
any.
K
F
F
F
Are
they
doing
this
for
the
revenue?
Are
they
doing
it
to
get
people
to
support
them
because
they
allowed
this
legalization
or
they're
going
to
allow
it?
If
they
do
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
all
I
know.
Is
you
know
that
the
best
the
advantage
we
have
in
Illinois
right
now
is
that
there's
some
history
there?
F
I'm
at
a
loss,
I
mean
I,
just
I,
don't
know
where
somebody
would
look
at
that
where
a
legislator
would
look
at
that
and
say
hey
what
a
great
idea
it
makes
no
sense
to
me
like
I,
said
if
it's,
because
they
want
to
tell
people
hey
we're
bringing
in
X
amount
of
million
dollars
because
we've
in
taxes
and
we're
regulating
it
well
they're
not
regulating
if
they
don't
regulate
it.
It's
it's.
You
don't
even
need
a
symposium
to
understand
that
you
can't
regulate
that
they're
still
gonna
be
illegal
grows.
F
They're
still,
gonna
be
I
mean
the
stories
were
unbelievable.
What
you
heard
now
I'm
sure
there's
another
side
of
those
who
want
to
legalize
it,
but
I
think
the
most
important
thing
for
us
is:
if
you're
spending
for
for
every
dollar
you
take
in
I
mean
I.
I
was
never
very
good
at
math
in
high
school,
but
that
doesn't
seem
like
a
very
good
choice.
F
K
A
A
B
A
M
Morning,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
committee,
let
me
begin
by
just
letting
folks
know
that
Friday
is
walk
a
mile
in
her
shoes
with
KC
Casa,
so
I'd
like
to
invite
everyone
at
noon
to
the
kankakee
Park
District's
rec
center
to
participate
in
that
you
know
many
of
you.
Some
of
you
may
know
that
I'm
involved
with
KC
Casas
so
would
definitely
like
to
invite
people
to
attend.
I
did
want
to
note
that
I
made
a
few
present
presentational
changes
to
the
claims
report
is
much
shorter,
as
you
may
have
noticed.
M
Simply
because
you
know,
like
I,
said
some
of
the
presentational
changes
I
made
and
then
wanted
to
present
some
information
in
the
section
where
we
have
the
charts
and
so
forth.
I
didn't
I!
No,
if
you
have
those
in
front
of
you,
but
with
some
of
the
major
expense,
General
Revenue
Fund
and
special
revenue
funds
that
we
have
so
that
you
can
kind
of
see
that
those
funds
generally
represent
anywhere
between
75
and
92
percent
of
the
monthly
expenditures.
M
So
I
thought
it
was
important
to
kind
of
see
how
those
are
trending
and
so
that's
presented
in
there.
As
well
other
than
that,
just
to
kind
of
clarify
one
of
the
questions
that
was
asked
earlier,
what
we
generally
do-
and
it
just
dawned
on
me-
that
we
should
probably
submit
the
the
credit
card
journal
vouchers
to
the
finance
committee
as
well,
because
the
mileage,
so
so,
what
we've
done
is
what
was
born
out
of
the
last
episode
about
claims
that
come
from
me
as
the
county
auditor
are
generally
cash
disbursements.
M
The
last
one
was
that
that
kind
of
caused
a
little
bit
of
debate,
was
a
seven
dollar.
Thirty,
two
cent
slice
of
pizza
along
with
mileage,
and
so
what
I
decided
to
do
was
to
bring
my
claims
whenever
there's
a
cash
disbursement
to
me
to
the
finance
committee,
and
we
only
claimed
mileage,
you
know
I,
don't
even
do
meals
or
anything
like
that
and
the
credit
card,
so
the
hotel,
the
registration
is
on
the
credit
card,
and
that's
why
that's
not
in
this
particular
packet,
because
this
is
a
cash
disbursement.
M
It's
a
reimbursement
for
my
mileage
for
driving
my
personal
vehicle,
so
we
will
start
submitting
those
credit
card
journal
vouchers
as
well.
Anything
that
is
from
the
auditor's
office
will
bring
it
to
the
committee.
I
did
not
think
about
that
before
so
I
do
apologize
for
that.
So
anyway,
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
there
may
be
at
this
time
or
clarify
anything.
N
N
M
M
We
spend
the
majority
of
our
time
with
the
administrative
things
that
has
kind
of
been
placed
on
the
office
with
how
the
claims
process
works
and
the
enhancements
we've
made
to
the
reporting
with
the
quarterly
report
and
the
claims
report
specifically
and
then
the
ongoing
the
continual
the
continual
auditing
activities,
so,
to
the
extent
that
we
are
able
to
perform
the
internal
audits
that
we
have,
we
perform
them.
Okay,.
N
M
They're,
not
that
specific,
they
just
say
that
they
shall
be
audited,
there's
not
a
timeframe
as
to
when,
in
terms
of
the
periodicity
and
to
the
extent
that
we
audit
different
things
such
as
our
decentralized
accounts
or
any
other
audits,
that
we
do
compliance
audits
or
what-have-you.
We
use
professional
judgment
in
that
regard.
Okay,.
N
N
A
H
Couple
quick
questions
at
home:
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman,
you
know
I.
Thank
you.
Mr.
Lee,
for
I
just
want
to
have
a
couple
questions,
hopefully
to
to
clarify,
as
we
start
to
migrate
accounting
into
your
office
for
12:1
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
at
least
our
point
as
far
as
what
we're
doing
and
how
we're
looking
at
things.
So
I
look
at
the
emphasis,
a
matter
because
you
know
obviously
I'm
concerned
and
also
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
compliant
and
the
things
that
we
should
be
doing.
H
You
know
we,
the
statement
is
made
in
there
that
we
neither
certified
nor
attests
to
the
completeness
of
this
report
for
the
period
covered
and
that's
an
ongoing
statement.
That's
within
the
emphasis
of
matter
within
your
monthly
and
quarterly
z--
and
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
who
attests
for
the
completeness
and
the
of
the
reporting
I
mean
it
to
me.
That
would
be
the
auditor
and
I'm
trying
to
make
sure
that
are
we
thinking
of
this
wrong?
M
Excellent
question,
mr.
chairman,
so
the
reason
we
put
that
in
there
is
it
started
last
year
when
there
was
an
email
for
me
where
I
was
inquiring
as
to
why
numbers
were
unusual
and
unexpected,
specifically
in
the
claims
report
and
I
never
got
a
response,
and
so
we
have
to
disclaim
things
that
we
don't
know
what's
happening
because
we
do
not
control
the
accounting
process
and
that's
where
they
came
from
and
it'll
continue
until
we
we
have
that
information
well,.
H
I'm
a
little
bit
confused,
then,
because
all
financial
information
is
in
the
computer
system
and
if
an
audit
trail
is
established,
be
at
that
computer
system.
What
more
do
you
need
to
say
that
these
are
the
numbers
that
this
is
in
the
system
to
be
able
to
report
on
these
monthly
reports
are
based
on
the
numbers
that
are
in
the
system,
so
it
doesn't
the
the
wherefore
and
the
why
to
to
me
is
not
necessarily
part
of
an
audit
process,
as
are
these
numbers
accurate,
well.
M
That's
correct,
I
think
I
think
when
it
comes
to
what's
in
the
computer,
says
so,
for
example,
the
stamps
that
go
to
the
state
treasurer
or
the
other
state
of
Illinois
from
the
recorders
automation
fund.
We
never
see
those
claims,
but
they
end
up
in
this
report.
So
we
have
no
opinion
on
that,
and
so
we
disclaim
that
we
have
no
control
over
the
accounting
entries
or
the
process
that
generates
that
wire.
That
goes
to
the
state,
so
we're
not
going
to
endorse
it
in
any
way.
We
disclaim
it.
H
H
Another
question
I
had
was
is
there's
been
a
lot
of
comments
that
that
you
feel
that
you
are
the
Comptroller
are
act
as
the
Comptroller
for
the
county
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
provide
the
committee
because
as
we
go
forward,
if
that
is
the
case,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
compliant
with
that
we're
in
the
auditor
statues
to
say
that
the
auditor
is
the
comptroller
for
the
county.
So.
M
That
term
you'll
notice
that
I
use
to
frame
the
position
and
character
is
similar
to
that
of
a
comptroller,
and
you
can
look
to,
for
example,
the
city
of
st.
Louis,
the
elected
comptroller
there,
who
has
an
internal
audit
division
and
who
also
does
the
general
accounting
for
the
city
of
st.
Louis.
That
would
be
a
position
that
you
would
look
to
for
an
example.
M
It's
an
easy
term
for
people
to
understand.
It's
obvious
that
the
title
of
auditor
gets
people
confused
because
they
don't,
generally
speaking,
separate
external
auditing
practices,
which
is
where
your
independency
standards
with
the
generally
accepted
governmental
auditing
standards,
come
from
and
internal
audit
practices
and
what's
outlined
in
the
state
statutes.
So
that's
why
I
use
that
term
just
so
that
it's
easy
for
people
to
kind
of
grasp,
because
when
you
take
the
compiled
statutes-
and
you
put
the
term
auditor
on
it,
an
example
would
be
historically
in
the
state
of
Illinois.
M
The
auditor
of
public
accounts
which
that
office
was
abolished
with
the
1970
Constitution
was
both
the
comptroller's
office
and
what
is
now
the
Auditor
General
of
the
state
of
Illinois
office.
However,
the
Auditor
General
does
post
audits,
which
makes
them
the
independent
Lea
appointed
auditor
and
they
opine
on
the
financial
statements
presented
by
the
Comptroller
of
the
state
of
Illinois.
So
that's
why
I
try
to
differentiate
that
term?
Okay,.
H
E
M
H
M
H
H
The
question
came
up
earlier
as
far
as
like
the
budgetary
change
that
was
made
at
the
end
of
the
year,
I'm
sure,
as
you
have
access
to
the
data
you
are
constantly
aware
of
where
you're
at
in
your
budget.
At
all
times,
you
were
able
to
pull
that
report
right
out
of
milk
and
know
where
you're
at
on
expense
and
revenue.
H
M
So
to
answer
the
question,
because
I
think
this
is
leading
towards
what
my
comments
have
been
in
the
December
meeting.
As
you
did
know,
the
schedule
was
changed.
I
had
a
scheduling
conflict
which
didn't
allow
me
to
stay
for
that
whole
meeting.
As
you
know,
the
executive
committee
meeting
went
for
a
little
a
little
while
I
did
not
know
that
the
committee
was
going
to
present
a
number,
so
I
did
not
refute
that
at
the
meeting.
M
That
issue
and
in
my
email
to
the
outside
auditor
I,
stated
that
it
was
immaterial
to
the
financial
statements,
but
the
process
is
improper
because
the
ability
to
do
that
should
not
even
exist
without
my
knowledge,
because,
as
by
statute,
the
auditor
is
the
general
accountant
of
the
county,
and
so
that
was
my
position
on
that
and
I
stand
by
that
position
and
that's
the
explanation.
Okay,.
H
So
when
you
know
you're
out
you're,
obviously
very
aware
of
the
statutes
regarding
your
office
and
of
the
County
Board
and
I'm
sure
that
that
knowledge
is,
it
is
also
where
it
relates
to
claims
and
things
kind
of
goes
to
all.
The
offices
that
submit
claims
through
your
office
correct,
you
would
have
to
know
their
statutes
and
who
has
authority
and
who
is
available
to
do
certain
things
through
all
these
other
offices.
Is
that
a
fair
assumption
to
make
well.
M
H
We
want
to
get
this
straight
since
Mike
roof
has
left
that
a
person
in
their
office
is
signed
off
on
their
claims.
That's
not
neither
a
veteran
or
the
superintendent,
so
that
is
a
violation
of
state
law,
but
rather
than
just
try
to
you
know,
call
the
newspaper
and
get
everybody
uptight
about
everything.
Can
you
help
me
fix
that
with
the
VA
C
and
make
sure
that
they
have
somebody
sign
it?
That
is
a
superintendent.
Well,.
M
The
VA
C
is
you've
stated
in
other
meetings.
Mister
chairman
has
their
own
Commission
and
their
Commission
I
would
suspect,
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
that
I
can
get
into
the
legalities
of
it,
but
I
would
suspect
that
their
Commission
needs
to
appoint
a
superintendent.
That
is
a
veteran
in
order
to
ensure
that
that
doesn't
happen
since
they're
super
or
their
acting
superintendent
or
whatever
the
title
of
the
person
running
the
BAC
right
now
is
is
by
delegation
of
the
Commission
I
would
assume
signing
their
claims.
M
You
know
from
our
perspective,
you
know
those
those
claims
have
have
always
been
well
I'm,
gonna,
say
well,
the
BAC
superintendent
was
a
veteran.
You
know
the
superintendent
side.
The
claims
now
that
it's
not
a
veteran,
that's
something
that
will
have
to
be
looked
into
further
and
I'm
willing
to
do
whatever
I
can
do
to
opine
on
the
issue
from
an
audit
standpoint,
but
I
think
you're
getting
into
legal
territory
that
the
state's
attorney
will
need
to
weigh
in
on
well.
H
I
H
Had
to
look
into
that
to
make
sure
we're
doing
things
right,
I,
don't
see
anything
wrong
with
them
or
any
illegalities
that
they're
doing
I
think
it's
just
a
mistake
that
we
need
to
clear
up
and
so
but
again
to
to
have
some
statutes
matter
more
than
others,
where
it's
the
County
Board
statutes
that
are
much
more
important
than
everybody
else's.
I
would
like
to
look
at
everybody
equally
for
the
spirit
of
running
things
more
efficiently
and
better,
and
so
no
that's
I
did
find
the
claims.
I
did
pull
the
claims.
H
That
is
the
case
that
cannot
be
delegated
from
the
superintendent
to
anybody
else
per
the
statute.
It
has
to
be
the
superintendent,
so
that's
all
we
got
to
do
is
have
them
signed
the
claims
and
that's
I'm
asking
we
could
we
could
do
that
in
a
more
private
manner,
but
it
seems
that
everything
has
to
be
brought
to
committee
into
the
newspapers
rather
than
having
discussions
like
they
used
to
happen
in
the
days
gone
by.
So
that's
all
I
ask
is,
maybe
we
start
to
address
this
stuff
in
a
more
civil
manner
instead
of
here.
H
H
M
M
H
Whatsoever
they
just
say
that
I
did
it
and
believe
me,
anybody
can
call
as
me
yeah.
There
are
proxies
that
happen
out
there,
so
I,
just
the
only
thing
we
need
to
do
is
make
this
better.
Somehow
and
you're
gonna
get
accounting
on
12-1
and
we're
developing
the
policies
and
procedures
to
do
that.
But
the
gamesmanship
has
to
stop,
and
you
have
my
commitment
and
I
think
you
have
the
board's
commitment
to
want
to
do
things
right.
We're
the
ones.
H
Who've
always
tried
to
make
things
more
transparent
and
open
and
broadcast
meetings
and
try
to
bring
things
to
the
forefront,
but
it
seems
that
we're
always
being
portrayed
as
the
bully
and
somebody
else
is
being
portrayed
as
the
victim
and
I
would
suggest
that
it's
not
that
way
at
all.
So
that's
all
I
have.
M
A
O
Morning,
everybody
so
I
believe
Judge
cunning,
Tonopah
criminal
justice
to
briefly
Telegraph
some
of
this.
These
changes,
but
state
legislature
did
change
how
fees
and
fines
are
going
to
be
assessed
in
our
court
system,
both
on
the
criminal
side
of
things
and
in
a
civil
side
of
things,
beginning
July
1st.
So
what
this
ordinance
is
in
front
of
you
does
is
allows
the
court
system
to
still
collect
the
fees
and
fines
as
outlined
in
those
changes.
It's
a
little
ambiguous
I'll,
be
upfront
about
the
questions.
H
O
E
O
There
is
a
significant
impact
on
some
funds.
There's
this
very
little
impact
on
others.
So
I
can
walk
you
through
what
those
will
be,
but
the
short
version
is
some
have
been
greatly
impacted,
while
others
have
not.
One
thing
that
I
know,
judge
cunning
tane
is
particularly
passionate
about.
Is
the
teen
court
fund
that
went
away
in
the
statute.
Change
I
did
put
throughout
the
criminal
side,
which
we
believe
begins
on
page
7,
if
you're
looking
at
that
a
five
dollar
fund
for
each
criminal
case
to
hopefully
maintain
the
teen
courts
funding
level.
O
A
H
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I
to
that,
to
that
end,
I
did
receive
some
communications
from
some
of
the
lawyers
through
the
Bar
Association
and
through
you
know,
obviously,
through
the
the
judges
that
they
would
like
to
see.
The
teen
court
continue
and
obviously
we
can't
we
don't
have
the
crystal
ball.
As
you
said,
we
don't
know
what
that's
going
to
generate.
These
are
fees
that
typically
either
don't
get
paid
or
would
get
waived
anyway.
So
we
can't
really
expect
anything
but
I
believe
we're
spending
around
30
grand
a
year
for
teen
court.
H
Yeah,
so
we
I
would
ask
that
the
Finance
Committee
may
either
look
at
a
budget
amendment
and
definitely
to
put
it
in
next
year's
budget
to
continue
supporting
that
endeavor,
because
it
saves
us
a
lot
of
money
in
the
long
run
with
keeping
people
back
out
of
the
system.
So
it's
unfortunate
the
state's
not
a
partner
in
this
anymore,
but
it
just
is
what
it
is.
O
A
K
O
A
E
O
O
It
says
255
dollars
to
the
county
general
fund
to
be
distributed
as
follows:
those
six
items
the
board
has
discretion
on
I
would
caution,
however,
though
it
that
is
a
good
chunk
of
what
the
Circuit
Court
Clerk
is
going
to
rely
on
for
her
operations
and
her
budget
that
we
have
right
now
in
the
fees
currently
raised.
Those
we
can't
raise
it
over
that
255.
That's
the
cap
that
the
statutes
set.
You
can
move
those
six
numbers
around
to
try
and
get
a
different
allocation
within
255,
but
for
that
section
is
255.
It
changes
throughout.
O
E
O
K
O
K
O
P
A
B
O
So
as
you're
well
familiar
with,
there
is
a
wind
farm,
ETF
built
I,
believe
on
the
south
side
of
the
county.
We've
been
negotiating
back
and
forth
with
them
on
the
on
a
conclusion
of
that
contract
for
them
to
repair
the
roads
that
they've
used
throughout
that
construction
process.
We've
consulted
with
outside
counsel
and
the
conclusion
has
been
a
mark
and
probably
a
better
address
how
that
process
looked.
But
the
conclusion
is
that
they're,
just
gonna
provide
as
a
check
and
Mark
and
his
team
are
going
to
do
that.
O
A
Q
Yes,
the
the
settlement
was
just
for
just
over
a
million
dollars.
There
was
nine
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars
for
construction.
There's
some
warranty
repair
work.
We
have
to
do
on
the
previous
phase.
There
is
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars
for
engineering
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
because
they
want
to
have
a
warranty
release.
They
want
us
to
release
them
from
the
warranty
of
this
project
and
then
they
are
reimbursing
us
for
our
outside
legal
funds.
Right.
O
It's
like
I
mentioned
we
did
have
to
consult
with
outside
counsel,
who,
frankly,
address
promote
the
original
Road
use
agreement
when
the
project
began
and
he's
been
fantastic,
working
with
our
office
as
well
as
Mark,
and
this
is
his
template,
his
contract,
that
he
wrote
up.
So
it
came
from
our
own
Council
to
write
this
and.
Q
So
that
is
why,
in
my
highway
improvements,
expenditure
I
only
had
a
hundred
thousand,
because
we
normally
do
construction
out
of
my
County
MFT
and
our
matching
tax
fund,
so
I'm
changing
that
from
a
hundred
thousand
to
1
million
one
hundred
thousand
and
then
the
revenue
side
I
didn't
have
that
revenue
coming
in,
because
I
did
want
the
wind
farm
to
actually
do
the
work,
but
because
they're
writing
as
a
check
we
had
to
have
it
come
in
in
another
account.
Okay,.
A
A
E
J
O
O
I
O
O
Not
a
statutory
issue,
it's
a
contract
issue
right.
So
absolutely
we
could
force
the
issue.
I.
Think
the
downside
to
doing
that
route
is
just
time
in
court
to
enforce
it
and
twisting
their
arm,
and
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
control
that
mark
will
have
in
this
process
that
he
wouldn't
have
had
had
EDF
been
the
one
to
deliver
the
road.
So
there
are
benefits.
O
Q
I
B
A
O
B
H
R
This
is
calculated
state
by
state
and
United
Healthcare
in
the
state
of
Illinois
spent
less
than
eighty
percent
so
needed
to
give
a
rebate
back
to
all
entities
that
had
we
received
our
rebate
and
in
total
you
can
see
it
was
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
six
dollars
and
61
cents.
We
received
it
last
October,
but
I
wasn't
aware
of
it
until
one
of
our
employees
went
to
their
accountant
who
mentioned
it
and
asked
about
the
rebate.
So
then,
by
the
time
I
called
United,
Healthcare
and
tracked
it
all
down.
R
This
is
why
I
didn't
know
cuz.
It
was
sixty
five
hundred
dollars
so
by
the
law.
There
are
Department
of
Labor
regulations
that
explain
how
you
separate
that
out
and
we,
the
county
itself,
retained
seventy
five
percent
of
that
amount,
because
we
pay
75%
of
our
premiums
and
then
twenty
five
percent
of
it
needs
to
get
rebated
back
to
our
employees.
So
that's
fifty
sixteen
hundred
and
twenty
six
dollars
to
our
employees
that
were
enrolled
in
that
plan
in
2017.
R
There
is
a
Department
of
Labor
regulation
or
part
of
their
explanation
of
how
to
do
it
that
allows
that
if
it
costs
more
to
track
down
and
send
checks
to
people
that
are
no
longer
employees,
you
don't
have
to
do
that.
So
for
a
five
dollar
and
thirty
nine
cent
rebate,
I
left
those
people
off
right
or
would
be
slightly
less
than
five
dollars.
Probably
so
the
amount
that's
going
to
be
rebated
back
to
each
employee
will
be
five
dollars
and
thirty
nine
cents.
