Public Comment (Agenda Items)

Llona Steele, Geneva, thanked the County Board on the great work being done and for

the leadership of Madam Chairman Pierog in providing ways that are fiscally

responsible that address concerns and issues in the County. She spoke on the Public

Health resolutions regarding the authorization of an agreement between Kane County

Health Department (KCHD), Copley Memorial Hospital, Inc., and Aurora Public Library

for Naloxone vending machines. She explained that a long-time friend, who was a

retired physician, went to help a state that was suffering from an opioid situation. He

has continued to combat this issue and has shown favor for readily available Naloxone.

Steele was pleased to see that the County has addressed mental health. Referencing a

previous resolution, she spoke on the Credible Mind for Behavorial Health 360

Program. She commended the KCHD for the work done to help residents. Steele

stated that Kane County has a population of approximately 514K, while the State of

Wyoming has 581K. She noted that the Kane County Board is doing the work of the

entire State of Wyoming. She would like the County Board to understand how valuable

they are to the Kane County residents they are serving. She has been impressed with

the work done for residents, such as the Longmeadow Parkway becoming toll-free.

Kane County resident, Adam Pauley, spoke in support of the Pride Month Proclamation

and the Naloxone resolutions. He stated that the Pride Month Proclamation is a

celebration of the rights and freedoms that exist in America. As mentioned, the

American Flag is a symbol that unites all Americans. Pauley explained that when the

Committee votes on this proclamation, today, they are voting in favor of the American

flag and the rights and freedoms. Regarding the Naloxone resolutions, he stated that

the Opioid Epidemic has been an ongoing issue and one that he holds close to his

heart. He spoke on the loss of his sister from an opioid overdose. According to the

Centers for Disease Control (CDC), every five minutes someone has a fatal overdose

in the United States. Pauley spoke on the life-saving drug, Naloxone. He thanked

KCHD Exec. Dir. Isaacson and staff for their work on combating this issue. He reflected

on the loss of his sister and countless others. As government leaders, they are

responsible for the deteriorating conditions that are happening. Only through deliberate

action, can the course be reversed and the community be healed. Pauley stated that it

is too late for his family to be hole again, but so many families have the chance with the

opportunity to have this life-saving drug readily available.

Michelle Bettag, St. Charles, stated she is not in agreement with the finances of the

County. She spoke on the large Visa credit card statements that come around on

January 1, every year, due to the overboard spending of the holidays. She stated that

Kane County has been excessively spending for that past couple years. Bettag blamed

Madam Chairman Pierog for the large projects that the County cannot afford. She

reported that Illinois has a 16.9% tax percent, which is the highest tax percent

compared to income of the country. Kane County is listed within the top ten U.S.

counties with the highest property taxes in 2023. Bettag spoke on the incompetence of

several Board Members, while few are making adequate financial changes. She stated

that spending is hard to cut. However, when the agendas of Washington D.C. and

Springfield are influencing the County, that changes the dynamics of the County.

Bettag stated that it is the County Board's number one job to balance the annual

budget and be fiscally responsible. In the past, she asked Board Members to visit

Geneva business owners and ask about their financial struggles. Bettag explained that

these struggles will continue to occur in all parts of the County, due to high taxes. She

requested that the Board talk to residents on their feelings about the proposed tax

increases. She urged the Board Members to look into the County spending. Bettag

stated that if she were in the Board's position, she would be meeting with the County's

financial experts in order to fully understand the financial crisis.

Public Comment (Non-Agenda Items)

(Committee Member Allan arrived remotely at 9:32 a.m.)

Brian Anderson, Sugar Grove, spoke on the State of Wyoming's tax statistics. He

encouraged everyone to listen to the Kane County Special Finance meeting on July 30,

2024. During that meeting, there was massive frustration from both political sides.

Anderson stated that in any corporation, there are quarterly and annual reviews in

order to see how the company is performing for their shareholders. In the case of Kane

County, these reviews are the 514K residents. Anderson spoke on the County Board's

task of being fiscally responsible. He spoke on the lack of financial information several

of the County Board members did not have at the Special Finance meeting, which they

should have had months ago. He reminded the Committee that last year, three days

before Thanksgiving, the budget was finally approved. He quoted County Board

Vice-Chairman Tepe, "This is the first time we are thinking about these situations".

Anderson stated that the County Board should be thinking about the budget on a daily

basis. He spoke on the Board's lack of fiscal responsibility. During this special meeting,

Anderson recalled hearing about budget cuts. He spoke on the main items that are in

the control of any business: labor costs, payroll, and health care. In Kane County,

these items are skyrocketing in price. Anderson asked the Committee to look into each

department's expenses, such as overtime.

Kane County Resident, Ed Marth, reflected on past meetings that he attended. He

spoke on the lack of increases to the County's taxes in 13 years. He stated that

planning for the future is necessary, in order to know what to expect and how to deal

with it. He spoke on the Project 2025. He listed numerous consequences of not being

vigilant. Marth stated that government and laws are not for intruding or mandating the

will of others, except for public safety, health, and education. Support of those that cast

this dark shadow is a real and present danger to people in every city and town and

should not be dismissed. Marth stated that we are always in a season where progress

is needed. He wishes for the County Board to continue to do their best.

Brenda Englehardt, St. Charles, reflected on the County Board meeting where

members voted in favor of the Climate Action Plan. She thanked the Board for this

vote. She explained that as her time as a teacher, she learned that young people are

concerned with climate. She mentioned, as a Kane County citizen, when she reviews

her annual tax bill, she is not shocked because she understands where the costs are

coming from. She reminded everyone that the County collects 4% of the total tax bill.

Englehardt thanked the Board for continuing to do the work they have been asked to

do by those citizens who care about the environment. At the mentioned County Board

meeting where the Climate Action Plan was voted upon, she witnessed the members

being accosted and disrupted with misinformation and with people whose goals were to

point out error and political gain. Englehardt thanked the County Board for the

environmental progress. She stated that there is no credible science that denies

climate change or its trajectory. This County Board took action by passing the Climate

Action Plan, which moves to reduce greenhouse emissions in areas, like

transportation. In addition, the County Board has approved solar fields and

implemented a green building policy. Englehardt stated that the big things that the

Board does, needs to be shared. Lastly, Englehardt thanked the Board for standing in

the face of those who set out to disrupt and respond in fear and for supporting Kane

County, as she continues to support the County Board.

Monthly Financials (K. Hopkinson)

Monthly Finance Reports

Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated that monthly financial reports were on file. She

commented on the County's annual audit. The County filed it's 2023 Audit

Report and it has been shared publicly on the County's Finance webpage.

Hopkinson reported that the audit received a clean opinion. The Audit

Communications Letter, which is a required letter that audit firms must send to

their clients, stated no issues were found. She noted that this letter is also

posted on the County's Finance webpage. Hopkinson reported that the 2022

Audit Report and 2024 Budget Document was submitted to the Government

Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and has received awards. She thanked

her staff and the audit firm for their work. Regarding the audit firm, a Request for

Proposal (RFP) was issued due to the expiration of the County's current audit

firm's contract. She stated that two proposals were received. These proposals

will be reviewed by an evaluation team and a new audit firm will be chosen to

conduct the FY2024 Audit. As mentioned at the Finance Committee meeting,

the County has partially defeased a portion of the Longmeadow Toll Revenue

Bond. The County funded approximately $18M, received a $17.5M grant from

the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and utilized

interest-earned that had accumulated in the Longmeadow Fund. Hopkinson

reported that the County will no longer need to make principle or interest

payments on the debt until 2028. By then, she hopes that the County receives

the additional $12.5M to entirely defease the bonds. Hopkinson thanked the

County's bond counsel, financial advisor, trustee, and Treasurer's Office who

worked on funding the escrow closing. Regarding the FY2025 Budget,

Hopkinson mentioned that a Special Finance Committee meeting has been

scheduled for Monday, August 12, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. The purpose of this special

meeting is to review the proposed FY2025 Budget. She stated that the County's

General Fund is reflecting an approximate $29.5M deficit, which is about a

quarter of the total expenditures in that fund. The Finance Committee will

continue to meet to identify ways to solve the deficit. Hopkinson addressed

questions and comments from the Committee. Discussion ensued.

Review of Committee 2025 Goals and Objectives

Chairman Pierog presented the Kane County Committees' FY2025 goals and

objectives. She noted that a handout has been given to the in-person Committee

Members summarizing the Committee goals and objectives. She requested that the

Committee look over these goals and objectives for any changes or edits. She

explained that in the new fiscal year, the Committee Goals and Objectives will be

included on each Committee agenda. This will be an active agenda item that the

Committee will continue to work off of. Pierog stated that any changes that need to be

made, should be sent to County Board Executive Assistant Tallitsch, as soon as

possible. She mentioned that a copy of the handout will be put in members' mailboxes

for those attending today's meeting remotely.

FY2025 County Board Office Budget Presentation

Chairman Pierog presented the FY2025 County Board Office Budget. She

shared a table comparing the County Board Office's revenues and expenditures

from 2023 to the proposed FY2025 budget. She spoke on the two forms of

revenue that the County Board Office collects: Liquor Licenses and Gathering

Permits. She reviewed the COB's expenses regarding salaries, contractual

services, and commodities. The anticipated total FY2025 Budget revenue is

$132,500 and the expenditures are $1,343,061. Pierog provided information on

the increase of contractual services. Pierog asked Board Members for their

opinion on how much should be put into the Conferences and Meeting - Board

Members Fund. After these discussions, Pierog decided to spilt the difference

and allot $12K for conferences and meetings for Board Members. She noted

that this is a significant increase from the $3,500 that was asked for in FY2024.

She spoke on Resolution 20-98, Governing of Expense Reimbursements for

County Board Members, which was passed in March 2020. In the resolution, it

states that each Board Member could have annual expenses for

reimbursements of no more than $750.00, first come, first serve. Pierog asked

the Executive Committee if an amendment should be made to this Resolution

20-98 to give Board Members more opportunities to travel on behalf of Kane

County. She reviewed those that voted in favor of this resolution. Pierog

addressed questions and comments from the Committee. Much discussion

ensued. Pierog stated that she did not hear any Committee concerns about the

$12K for Conferences and Meetings - Board Members. She noted that this

amount would be a placeholder, until further discussions and decisions are

made about the allotted amount for Board Member travel expenses. With the

Committee's consensus, Pierog explained that she would reach out to an expert

consultant to help with best practices on fiscal responsibility for travel and

conferences for Board Members.

Preliminary County Board Agenda:

Chairman Pierog asked the Committee if there were any resolutions that needed to be

pulled from the Consent Agenda.

------------------------------------------------ CONSENT AGENDA ------------------------------------------------

American Rescue Plan

Authorizing the Use of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Revenue Loss

Recoupment Funds to Fund the Transitional Housing Program for the Kane

County Sheriff’s Office

Committee Member Sanchez motioned to amend this resolution. He stated that

the last WHEREAS clause should read, WHEREAS, the ARPC recommends

that the Kane County Board authorizes the use of SLFRF Revenue Loss funds

in the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) to fund the

Transitional Housing Program for the Kane County Sheriff's Office, to be spent

during the ARPA period of performance and in accordance with the ARPA, the

Final Rule, and related guidance issued by the United States Department of

Treasury, and any other Federal, State, or local laws and regulations.

Committee Ex-Officio Tepe seconded. Discussion ensued. Motion carried

unanimously by roll call vote.

(Committee Member Allan arrived in-person at 10:16 a.m.)

Sheriff Hain provided a presentation on the Transitional Housing Program. He

stated that the Kane County Sheriff's Office has been working on reducing

recidivism, crime, and jail population, the biggest obstacle has been re-entry

housing. Over the past few years, many submissions were submitted to the

American Rescue Plan (ARP) Committee on how to best serve these residents.

In July 2024, the ARP Committee approved the allocation of $795K to purchase

and accommodate a re-entry living and training structure located at 131 W.

Illinois Avenue, Aurora. Hain reviewed the demographics of those who would be

accepted into this re-housing program, such as all males, non-violent offenders,

and those returning from the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). He

spoke on the financial structure and sustainability of this program. Additional

revenue will assist in offsetting expenses, such as Alcohol Anonymous (AA)

meetings and advertising fees for the billboard that sits on top of the structure.

Hain reviewed the additional uses this location could provide the County, such

as vocational training rooms and addiction treatment meetings. Hain addressed

questions and comments from the Committee. Discussion ensued.

Committee Member Molina stated that she reached out to Aurora Alderman

Mike Saville to ask his thoughts about this Transitional Housing Program being

established in his ward. Saville's had concerns lied with the permitting and

zoning of the building. Molina explained that this building is located on a

residential street. There are questions on whether this would meet the permitting

and zoning special use for this property and discussions should be had before

voting upon this resolution. She stated that Alderman Saville has requested that

the County allow the City of Aurora more time to have these conversations with

the County's legal team and Sheriff. Saville requested that this resolution be

tabled for 30 days to allow these conversations to occur. Molina stated that as

good neighbors, the County should move forward in tabling this resolution for 30

days. Sanchez suggested that this resolution move forward in order to keep this

project on the ARPA timeline. He explained that adding another 30 days, may

put this program at risk. Molina stated she would like these conversations to be

had before this resolution is moved forward. Molina motioned to postpone the

first resolution for 30 days, Bates seconded. Further discussion ensued. Motion

was withdrawn.

Committee Member Ford motioned to amend this resolution to include language

"is approved subject to receiving any evaluating comments from the City of

Aurora." Committee Member Davoust seconded. Discussion ensued. Motion

passed by an 11-3 vote, with one present. Further discussion ensued regarding

who will be in charge of having these discussions with the City of Aurora.
