Public Comment (Agenda Items)  
Kane County Resident, Susan Webb-Kmiec, spoke on the County's Housing Ready  
Plan for Communities. Ever since she moved here, she and her husband have been  
impressed with the Fox River Valley area. She spoke on how well everything runs  
within the townships, cities, and County. Like many, she has found herself taking this  
service for granted. Webb-Kmiec explained that she took the time to learn about local  
governments and how they operate. She stated that a great deal of work goes into  
making it appear effortless. In looking over today's meeting agenda, she became  
interested in the resolution under Development on the Consent Agenda. Affordable  
Housing continues to be a big issue in our country. She stated that the implementation  
of these plans will need to be well thought out to protect the integrity of the  
communities while making housing affordable for those less fortunate. She listed off a  
number of people these plans could potentially help. Webb-Kmiec explained that many  
residents are not in support of this. Currently, she lives off of S. 7th Street and Prairie  
Street in St. Charles. There are many apartments on that side of town that have  
income-based rent. There has never been an issue with these tenants. However, the  
housing market crisis is getting worse. According to the Kenan Institute for Private  
Enterprise, housing costs have become increasingly untenable for renters and buyers  
alike. Over 40% of renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of  
their income on housing costs. Webb-Kmiec stated that as the communities continue to  
grow, the workers must be able to live here. She read over the resolution and was  
impressed that there was an actual plan. She commended the Board on their due  
diligence in proceeding with their 2040 Plan: Healthy People, Healthy Living, Healthy  
Communities.  
Madam Chairman Pierog moved forward in the agenda to Executive Session. The  
Committee obliged.  
7.  
Monthly Financials (K. Hopkinson)  
Monthly Finance Reports  
A.  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated the monthly financial reports were on file. She  
explained that the Finance Department is about to close out the end of year  
2023 financial statements. To note, the County's General Fund will have less  
revenue than expenses. Within today's Consent Agenda, there is the Sheriff's  
Adult Corrections' Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which includes  
retro-active pay dating back to December 2022. This will cost the County's  
General Fund over $900K, and will be recorded in the 2023 expenses.  
Hopkinson stated that moving forward, the monthly financial reports will include  
the tracking of unearned revenue. Unearned revenue is where the County has  
cash, but does not have it recorded as revenue due to not having a set expense  
to spend the cash on, such as the funding from the American Rescue Plan Act  
(ARPA). Hopkinson shared some activity highlights of the Finance Department.  
The 2025 Budget Book is nearing completion. The 2025 Budget Process  
Kick-off has begun, and the department has been looking into various  
automations to assist with transparency and efficiency.  
Madam Chairman Pierog moved forward in the agenda to the PIO Update. She  
stated that Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson can continue with her FY2025 Budget Plan  
later in the meeting.  
Hopkinson presented the FY2025 Budget Plan. She reviewed the General Fund  
- Forecast and Reserve Target with the assumption of a 3% increase to  
revenues and expenses and a $3M transfer to the Capital Projects fund each  
year from 2026 to 2028. In order to fund the 2025 budget, the County would  
need to use $11M of the General Fund's balance. She noted that the numbers  
presented in this presentation is based on the assumption that there would be  
no significant changes in revenue and expenses. She presented the General  
Fund sub accounts with the same assumption. By 2027, in order for the County  
to balance the budget, the County would deplete the reserves in excess of the  
90-day target to a negative $586,646. Hopkinson shared a graph that depicted  
the mentioned information. She spoke on the County's recent history of interest  
earned. She stated the interest earned fluctuates with the market and is a  
source of revenue for funding capital projects and reserves. The estimated  
interest earned for 2023 is approximately $13.5M. Hopkinson reviewed her  
suggested 2025 budget priorities regarding revenue, expenses, and the  
utilization of the General Fund balance of $11M. She stated that on January 12,  
2024, the Illinois Department of Revenue reported that the FY2025 Consumer  
Price Index (CPI) under the Property Tax Extension Law Limit (PTELL) is 3.4%.  
She recommended that the County's investment income on specific funds be  
transferred to the Capital Projects Fund, estimated at $1M-$2M. Hopkinson  
spoke on County departments/offices' vacant positions budgeting guidance.  
After discussion with the Finance Committee, she suggested that County  
departments/offices with 50 or less employees be allowed one vacant position,  
and offices with 151 or more employees will be allowed four vacant positions for  
the fiscal year. (Committee Member Gumz left at 11:17 a.m.) Hopkinson  
suggested sticking to a 2.5% pay increase for non-union personnel and to set up  
an contingency budget for union personnel. She reviewed the 2025 Budget  
Calendar. She recommended that the County's offices/departments submit their  
Mission and Outcomes form by mid-March, before the actual budget is worked  
on. She stated the goal would be to have the County Board adopt the FY2025  
budget by October 2024. Hopkinson addressed questions and comments from  
the Committee. Much discussion ensued. (Committee Member Sanchez left at  
11:24 a.m.) The Committee provided additional suggestions pertaining to the  
FY2025 budget.  
8.  
PIO Update (J. Mann)  
Public Information Officer (PIO) Mann introduced Office of Emergency Management  
(OEM) Dir. Buziecki.  
OEM Dir. Buziecki announced that at 11:00 a.m., today, the State of Illinois will conduct  
their annual Tornado Alarm. He wanted to make everyone aware so no one believes it  
is a real emergency.  
PIO Mann provided a monthly update on the activities of her office. At the next County  
Board meeting on March 12, 2024, the Board will be hosting the 4-H students. On  
March 27, 2024, Kane County Government Center will be hosting a blood drive. Her  
office continues to publish articles on Kane County Connects and all social media  
platforms. Mann introduced Christian Smith. Smith is a new reporter at the Beacon  
News and has been assigned to cover Kane County. Lastly, she announced that  
Sunday, March 11, 2024 is Daylight Saving Time. She reminded everyone to turn their  
clocks forward one hour.

Approving Compensation Rate for American Rescue Plan Program Coordinator  
Positions and Budget Adjustments  
3.  
Committee Member Sanchez motioned to amend this resolution. He stated that  
they planned to have all American Rescue Plan Act (APRA) staff, under the  
Program Manager, be paid $31.00 per hour, including benefits. However, Kane  
County has implemented a new Compensation Policy and the $31.00 per hour is  
at the top of the set range for like positions. After multiple conversations with  
Human Resources and Finance, Sanchez stated that it may be more wise to not  
shoot for the 75% percentile, and keep the hourly pay at $29.25. Within the  
resolution, he explained that anywhere that mentions $31.00 is to be replaced  
with $29.25. Additionally, strike the WHERE AS clause stating, "WHEREAS,  
establishing the hourly rate of $31.00 per hour the American Rescue Plan  
Program Coordinator positions are within the graded salary range for the  
Compensation and Position Management Policy established by Resolution  
23-541, but will be above the 75th percentile for the range; and". Committee  
Member Bates seconded the amendment. Motion carried unanimously by roll  
call vote.
