Roll Call  
An in-person quorum was not established as of 9:10 a.m.  
Chairman Pierog spoke on the importance of establishing an in-person quorum at  
Committee meetings in order to conduct County business. She stated that remote  
attendance is to be used for emergency purposes, such as illness and/or childcare  
issues. She urged all County Board Members to be in-person at meetings to conduct  
the business of the County.  
Due to the lack of an in-person quorum, Chairman Pierog moved to the Pledge of  
Allegiance.

Monthly Financials (K. Hopkinson)  
Monthly Finance Reports  
A.  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated the monthly financial reports were on file. She  
explained that the audit of the County's federal funds has been completed and  
received a clean opinion for FY2023. Hopkinson reported that the Finance  
Department had a kick-off meeting to install financial forecasting software. She  
noted that this will take several months to install. This software will help collect  
the County's financial data. As part of the budget process, Hopkinson stated that  
the property tax levies will be brought forth at the October's Finance Committee  
meeting. She noted that the Supervisor of Assessment's Office has provided an  
update on Equalized Assessed Evaluation and New Construction actual dollar  
amounts. The total amount these will bring in is $24,232. This amount does not  
include a property tax increase. This update will be calculated into the FY2025  
budget. Additionally, the Kane County Division of Transportation (KDOT) has  
recommended changes to their 2025 draft budget. KDOT would like to decrease  
one fund by $2.5M, and increase spending in another fund by $335K. Hopkinson  
stated that these changes will be reflected in the FY2025 budget. Lastly, she  
explained that the Finance Committee members requested information on the  
number of County employees. This information has been e-mailed to the entire  
County Board. Hopkinson addressed questions and comments from the  
Committee. Pierog requested broad-based numbers on the County's spending  
and where the spending has occurred.  
8.  
PIO Update (J. Mann)  
PIO Mann provided an update on the monthly activities of her office. She reported that  
yesterday, Tuesday, October 2, 2024, was the Dauberman Road Extension Project  
ribbon cutting. She thanked County staff for their help on the event. Mann stated that  
the County's community outreach continues. She explained that the last County blood  
drive provided the American Red Cross with 23 pints of blood. She spoke on the  
community becoming more comfortable with coming to County buildings and utilizing  
services. Mann stated that the Secretary of State and the Illinois Tollway will be coming  
to the Government Center next year to provide their services. Additionally, Mann gave  
a speech before the Women in Business group for the Geneva Chamber of Commerce  
about the functions of County government. Lastly, she assisted in organizing a  
POW/MIA event that took place at the Veterans' Memorial at the Kane County  
Government Campus. (Committee Member Gumz left at 9:16 a.m.)  
9.  
Old Business  
County Clk. staff Pollock explained that early voting began on September 26, 2024 at  
the County Clerk's Office in Geneva and Aurora. He noted that all voting information  
can be found on the County Clerk's website and on flyers that are available at the  
office. He explained the differences between the voting time frames. Pollock  
encouraged the Committee and constituents to follow the County Clerk's social media  
for the latest voting information and locations. He spoke on a flyer that was mailed out  
to voters that includes a QR code on the three ways to vote and locations. He handed  
out to the Committee a daily report that shows the amount of people who have voted  
early and requested mail-in ballots. He spoke on the lack of comparison between  
voters in 2020 and 2024. Pollock introduced County Clerk Executive Assistant John  
Gaglione.  
County Clk. Exec. Asst. Gaglione asked the Committee to seek those that want to be  
an election judge. He requested that those interested need to apply to Kane County.  
He spoke on the changes that the office has made to improve the experience of voters,  
such as providing online training for election judges. (Committee Member Allan arrived  
in-person at 9:27 a.m. - An in-person quorum was established) Gaglione invited the  
Committee to the Clerk's Office for a tour of the voting area. Pollock addressed  
questions and comments from the Committee. Discussion ensued.  
Once an in-person quorum was established, the Committee moved back to approving  
the remote attendance requests.  
10.  
New Business  
Proclaiming Operation Green Light for Veterans in Kane County, Illinois  
A.  
VAC Supt. Zimmerman provided additional information on this proclamation. He  
spoke on the green lights that will be displayed outside of select County  
buildings.  
ITD/BLD Exec. Dir. Fahnestock stated that the challenge with these green lights  
would be electricity. He explained that the County has been looking into  
purchasing devices that are solar-powered. He finds it reasonably acceptable for  
the County to provide these green lights outside of the County Government  
Center and the Third Street Courthouse, but not fiscally responsible to do the  
entire County. Fahnestock addressed questions and comments from the  
Committee. Chairman Pierog requested the cost of this project. Discussion  
ensued.
