Public Comment  
Michelle Bettag, St. Charles, reminded the County of the 0.75% retail sales tax  
referendum that will be placed on the April 1, 2025 voting ballot for Kane County  
citizens. She stated that Kane County's spending is out of hand. She explained that  
this retail tax on goods, services, and restaurants will effect the citizens that each  
County Board member represents, such as low-income residents. She reminded  
committee members to be fiscally responsible at these meetings.

Treasurer's Report (C. Lauzen)  
Monthly Report  
A.  
Treasurer Lauzen stated the monthly report was on file. He reported that the  
County's cash resources are starting to evaporate. He stated that the priorities of  
the treasury established by the County Board is safety first, liquidity, and return.  
(Committee Member Berman arrived remotely at 9:06 a.m. Berman would not be  
participating at today's meeting.) Lauzen explained that his staff has asked of  
the location of the accounts that the County bills are being paid from. He shared  
a table depicting the County's account assets and the actual-book value, current  
market value, and interest earnings. The total demand and investments within  
the actual-book value is $410,949,749.04, which is the County's cash within the  
bank. Lauzen stated that a year ago, this number was $440M, which is a  
difference of about $30M. Lauzen shared a breakdown of the County's cash  
locations across banks and County funds. He stated that once these cash  
balances are used, they will be gone. Assuming a 5% return on investment, the  
County will have $4.35M less to spend a year. If the County chooses to exhaust  
reserves, they will not have the ability to spend. Lauzen spoke on the Actual  
Performance Interest Earned Fiscal Years 2023-2025. He reviewed the Kane  
County Weighted Average Demand and Investment Yield. Lauzen explained  
that a year ago, Kane County was behind by 64 basis points, but are now ahead  
30 basis points. This calculates to be $1.2M more earned for the County.  
Lauzen reviewed Kane County - Portfolio Analysis - Summary. He shared that  
the yield on the portfolio is 4.72% for the duration of the bonds, which is 2.42  
years. Under Vectors, the County's Mortgage Backed Security yields 5.63% for  
4.47 years. Lauzen added that his money is guaranteed by the Federal  
Government. He shared a graph depicting Interest Earned Fiscal Years 2019 to  
2024. For FY2022, $5,769,429 in interest earned was accumulated, and in  
FY2024 $21,623,756 interest was earned. Lauzen stated that he has asked the  
County Board to aggregate this money and put it to use, but has not been  
successful. He explained that in two years the County has accumulated  
approximately $27M in interest earned. He stated that Kane County residents  
will naturally ask where this money is and how it has been utilized. Lauzen  
spoke on the Kane County's cashVest Progress Update from December 2024.  
He noted that the County has a 800% return of investment for paying cashVest  
to help monitor funds. He shared a picture of the Treasurer's Office staff and  
thanked them for their work. Lauzen addressed questions and comments from  
the Committee. (Madam Chairman Pierog arrived in-person at 9:13 a.m.)

Finance Director's Report (K. Hopkinson)  
Monthly Finance Reports  
A.  
Co. Vice-Chairman Lenert requested that the Monthly Finance Report be moved  
to after the New Business agenda items. The Committee conceded.  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated the monthly financial reports were on file. She  
explained that the Finance Department is closing out all the funds for the  
FY2024 Budget Book. All of these transactions will be posted as soon as the  
budget book is completed. Hopkinson stated that the County's audit firm has  
been onsite this week conducting field work for the 2024 Audit. The audit firm  
will be back on campus in March 2025 for final field work. Hopkinson thanked  
everyone across the County for their participation in the audit process.  
Hopkinson provided a presentation pertaining to the FY2024 Budget. She  
reviewed Revenues - All County Funds - 2024 Budget to Actual - by Revenue  
Category, which included all transfers in and fund balance utilization. The  
County used $35,180,978 in reserves, which leaves $103,908,010. Hopkinson  
stated that $60.8M of the fund balance was used by the Kane County Division of  
Transportation (KDOT). Regarding reimbursements, KDOT was $10M over the  
actual budget. Hopkinson reviewed the Expenses - All County Funds - 2024  
Budget to Actual by Expense Category, which included transfers out. She  
explained that Contractual Services are $40M under budget, and $24M was  
unspent by KDOT. Regarding Capital, $44M of the remaining budget is KDOT,  
$5.7M is Farmland, and $4.6M is the Building Management Department (BLD).  
Hopkinson shared the County's Revenues - All County Funds - 2024 Budget to  
Actual. Across all Department funds, the general government revenue is all part  
of the County's General Fund and is lower due to sales taxes. The Farmland  
Preservation is part of the County Board's budget, which did not receive any  
grant funding. Hopkinson reviewed the County's Expenses - All County Funds -  
2024 Budget to Actual by Expense Category. The remaining $46.3M of County  
Board expenses is Farmland Preservation. The Sheriff's Office was over budget  
by $3.5M from salaries. KDOT's remaining expenses include $850K in salaries,  
$19.3M in engineering services, and $43M in Road and Bridge Construction. In  
other County funds, the amended budget and Actual includes $14M in benefits  
for all general fund employees, and the remaining includes $10M ARPA and  
$8M in building improvements. Hopkinson addressed questions and comments  
from the Committee. Much discussion ensued.  
Hopkinson shared the Revenues and Expenses - General Fund - General  
Account - 2024 Budget to Actual. The General Fund houses the expenses for  
most of the employees of the County. However, KDOT, Kane County Health  
Department (KCHD), Kane County Animal Control (KCAC), and KaneComm are  
not included in the General Fund. Regarding revenues, other taxes are lower  
due to the over budgeting on sales taxes in FY2024. The charges for services  
from the County Clerk's Office, Recorder's Office, Circuit Clerk's Office,  
Information Technologies Department (ITD), and State's Attorney's Office have  
exceeded the budgeted charges for services. Pertaining to expenses,  
Countywide the amended budget and actual budget includes $14M in benefits  
for all General Fund employees, and $500K of the remaining is software  
licensing and computer repair. Hopkinson provided a break down of the  
County's revenues and expenses from the General Fund by department. She  
added that the General government revenue is all part of the General Fund,  
which is lower due to sales taxes. The ITD's has $422K of remaining expenses  
is salaries and $233K in contractual services. The Sheriff's Office was $3.5M  
over budget in salaries, $472K over in detainee medical/dental, and $250K in  
operating supplies. Hopkinson shared the financial information on the Health  
Insurance Fund. This fund is funded by all employee and employer  
contributions. She stated that all expenses from Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)  
is paid out of this fund. In 2023, the total fund balance was $7,442,723. In 2024,  
the total fund balance is $9,377,499. The fund is at the approximate 50% target  
fund balance, which is within the range that the County's brokers have advised.  
Discussion ensued on the utilization of the health insurance funding and the  
appropriate target fund balance.

2025. As of November 30, 2022, the case in the General Fund was $96.4M. As

Authorizing an Interfund Loan for the Payment of Office of Community  
Reinvestment Program Expenses from the General Fund in Instances Where  
Funding Agreements or Reimbursements are Delayed  
F.  
Co. Vice-Chairman Lenert explained that the $600K is a loan reimbursement for  
FY2025. Discussion ensued on the total amount listed on the resolution. Fin.  
Exec. Dir. Hopkinson explained that on January 27, 2025, the Federal  
Government issued a memo stating a pause would be out on federal funding.  
There was lots of confusion over the interpretation on which federal funds this  
pause would affect. As of January 28, 2025, a federal judge has now paused  
this action and federal funding is being distributed normally. Hopkinson  
explained that the County has for a long period of time provided an interfund  
loan/line of credit to a variety of departments for programs, while they waited for  
reimbursements. After reviewing multiple requests, it was found that the Office  
of Community Reinvestment (OCR) was the only department that has  
continually needed an interfund loan. Hopkinson stated that the County has  
never loaned OCR more than $250K. She explained that OCR will not be the  
only department affected by a potential pause in federal loan money, but the  
County will have to wait and review these situations as they come. Further  
discussion ensued.

it was. This resolution is to close out this fund.

County Board Member Gripe noticed that on all of these resolutions a single

Hopkinson stated the procurement cards are credit cards. Each individual card  
has a single purchase limit and a total purchase limit. Gripe asked if the County  
has ever paid interest on these cards. He added that paying interest would be a  
waste of money if the bills are not being paid on time. Hopkinson stated that the  
County's Auditor's Office has been diligent on paying these statements on time  
and disputing charges, if needed. Auditor Wegman stated that the County has  
not paid interest and all statements have been paid on time.
