Monthly Financials (K. Hopkinson)  
Monthly Finance Reports  
A.  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated the monthly financial reports were on file.  
(Committee Member Davoust arrived in-person at 9:05 a.m.) She highlighted the  
increase of the County Board's Liquor License's revenue for FY23. This year,  
there were 37 issued liquor licenses, compared to 34 last year. The Farmland  
Preservation fund budget was $6.2M in revenue. The actual to date revenue is  
approximately $600,070. There are a few easement transactions that are in  
progress that will not close until the end of the year, which affected the revenue  
totals. As for expenses, the County Board has had one item of concern. Under  
Personnel Services: Employee Benefits, 99% of the allotted budget will be used.  
Last year's budget, did not include additional County Board Members enrolling in  
the County's health care benefit package. A possible budget adjustment may be  
needed to address this. Madam Chairman commended Hopkinson for her work  
on the FY24 Budget.  
8.  
PIO Update (J. Mann)  
Public Information Officer (PIO) Mann provided a presentation on last month's  
activities. She assisted in hosting the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) training for  
Railroad Safety Week at the Kane County Government Center. She thanked OEM  
Acting Director Mensching for assisting with the invitations. Mann spoke on the  
importance of railroad safety. Kane County Connects was highlighted on the Village of  
South Elgin's FaceBook page displaying Kane County's Veteran's Assistance  
Commission staff receiving statewide awards. Mann reviewed the numerous articles  
that were published in Kane County Connects over the past month. She shared that  
Kane County Connects was mentioned on a television broadcast for the work of a  
government staff aiding in the return of a lost Marine Corp. Aviator bracelet to an  
Alabama family. Mann provided a brief background of the article. Additionally, WBBM  
News Radio featured Kane County's Shredding 'n More Recycling Event that took  
place on September 30, 2023. Mann listed activities that several Board Members  
including herself participated in over the past month. She announced on October 13,  
2023 at 1:00 p.m., Kane County is hosting a Special County Board meeting to flip on  
the switch to the Judicial Center's solar field. Finally, Mann mentioned that the Kane  
County Volunteer Garden received a State Service Award for volunteerism. She stated  
that hundreds of pounds of food have been donated to the Batavia Interfaith Food  
Pantry since the creation of the garden in 2022. Mann addressed questions and  
comments from the Committee. Discussion ensued.  
9.  
Old Business  
Madam Chairman Pierog addressed the request from Committee Member Molina  
seeking a one-page explanation on how to manage their Committee departments'  
budgets. This is currently in the works and Pierog is hopeful to distribute the  
explanation later this week. Pierog addressed the diligent work on the FY24 budget.  
She requested that all department heads/elected officials look into their budget and  
plan out items/services needed for later years to lessen the burden on the FY24  
budget.  
Committee Member Kious thanked the County Board Members for their participation on  
the Facilities Master Plan Survey. Discussion ensued.
