Public Comment (Agenda Items)  
None.  
Monthly Financials (K. Hopkinson)  
Monthly Finance Reports  
A.  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated the monthly financial reports were on file. She  
informed the Committee that the monthly financial reports will entail more  
in-depth statistics, history, and information, such as detailed trend analysis. This  
will be for all Committee monthly financial reports. This information will take a  
closer look at the history of financial trends of various costs. Hopkinson  
explained that the Select Tax Revenues will be color-coded to make the charts  
easier to read and make the information more meaningful. She reported that all  
tax revenue is on trend, except the Personal Property Replacement Tax. This  
tax is distributed by the State to local governments based on estimates. The  
State warned all local governments that their estimate calculation process needs  
to be updated. This makes budgeting this type of revenue difficult. After  
reviewing this month's reports, it showed that the County is below last year's  
revenue, but above budget for FY23. Additionally, the financial reports will  
include graphs of all the County's tax revenues. Hopkinson spoke on the ability  
to report on the County's Cannabis revenue. In the past, Kane County could not  
report on this tax. However, Kane County now has five dispensaries, which,  
according to State law, makes this a reportable tax revenue. Hopkinson stated  
that the County has two cannabis revenues; local tax and a share of the State's.  
The local share goes into the County's General Fund. The revenue from the  
State's share is deposited into a Special Revenue Fund to be used for  
prevention and law enforcement training. Hopkinson spoke on the collective  
bargaining agreements (CBA). The County currently has seven CBAs that are  
expired and in negotiations. Hopkinson stated that the Finance Department will  
start to build a packet of trend information, such as salaries and energy costs.  
Hopkinson addressed comments and questions from the Committee. Discussion  
ensued.  
Committee Member Bates asked the Committee if the Employee Recognition -  
Celebrating Milestones could be heard next. The Committee agreed.  
8.  
PIO Update (J. Mann)  
PIO Mann provided a presentation on events around the County. She shared  
photographs of events that she hosted or participated in over the last month. She  
highlighted the articles that were published in the Kane County Connects Newsletter  
and that were shared on social media. Mann addressed questions and comments from  
the Committee.

Employee Recognition - Celebrating Milestones  
A.  
HRM Exec. Dir. Lobrillo presented the Employee Recognition - Celebrating  
Milestones. She thanked staff for their dedication to the County. She recognized  
Kane County employees that have served for 10, 20, 30, and 40 years.  
Each elected official/department head introduced their employees and provided  
a brief employment history on each.  
Lobrillo dismissed all those attending for the Employee Recognition celebration  
to the auditorium for a reception.

Committee Member Surges asked for clarification on this resolution. Committee  
Member Allan stated that the Chinese Mutual Aid Association is an outreach  
program that the County's Workforce Development Division has found. They will  
provide funding for employment to the County's residents.  
OCR Dir. Berger explained that this is a $75K allocation of State of Illinois  
funding. Each local workforce area has received an award amount. One of the  
goals of the program is to work with the State of Illinois' welcome centers that  
work with the immigration population to better integrate them into the  
community. In Kane County, there are two Illinois Department of Human  
Services Welcome Centers. Berger explained that his office has reached out to  
both agencies, the Chinese Mutual Aid Association and World Relief, intending  
on implementing the use of this state allocation to compliment their work and  
help the immigrant population gain employment. Surges requested that  
additional information be provided to County Board Members before the final  
vote at the County Board meeting on December 12, 2023.
