Public Comment (Agenda Items)  
Kane County Resident, Kenneth Loebel, explained that his job as a financial advisor is  
to find and identify risks before they happen and bring that to the attention of his  
clients. After attending the Finance Committee meeting, he found that the County has  
big risks in their financial system with potentially utilizing surplus and reserve for  
salaries and benefits for positions. In corporate finance, there is working capital, which  
is used for day-to-day operations. Surplus and reserve funds are for emergencies. In  
his position, he is trained to pay attention to behind-the-scenes items that the average  
person does not. In today's economy, central banks are failing, which is causing  
countries to use the petrol dollar. As a result, the world could see a financial  
catastrophe that could be worse than the 2008 recession. Loebel asked the Committee  
for extreme stewardship of the tax dollars. The average tax payer is being squeezed at  
all levels; Federal, State, and locally. Unless you are a public employee or part of a  
union there are no wage increases, while everything else is increasing in cost. Loebel  
requested the Committee to keep the surplus funds for emergency purposes, or return  
that money back to the taxpayers. Do not use these funds for working capital. He  
predicted, in the next twelve months, a financial event will occur where the County will  
need every penny of surplus funds. The reality is that if the County is not prudent now,  
then there will be no one to blame but yourselves. Loebel noted that 187 banks are on  
the list to potentially fail in the near term. There has been trillions of dollars pulled out  
of the banking system. Additionally, two years ago, the repossession market was failing  
and the Federal Reserve needed to bring in millions of dollars every month for four  
months in a row. In essence, the countries' financial systems is on a crash course and  
being replaced with a quantum financial system. Loebel stated that prudence would  
dictate to reserve the surplus funds for emergencies to have them available in case of  
a financial crisis in the next few months. He asked the Committee to trust other  
committees and their decisions. Lastly, as a tax payer, if there are surplus funds and  
reserve funds, do not use these.  
Frank Esposito, 64 White Oak Circle, St. Charles, spoke on the potential of raising  
taxes. He noted that he has done his research on the County's website. He has seen  
that their are County jobs available. Upon looking into these jobs, he noticed that many  
employees work 30 to 35 hours a week. He would like to do a little more research as to  
why this is. Esposito stated at the last Finance Committee meeting, there were two  
items that were voted against, but he sees them again on this agenda. He questioned  
the reasoning behind this. He requested the Committee to seriously think about these  
two items and how they will affect the Kane County tax payers. Esposito stated that if  
the property tax increase is approved, the projected increase to his property tax would  
be $41.00. This does not seem like a lot of money, but there are people in this County  
that cannot afford even a $10.00 increase, because everything else is going up in  
price. Esposito urged the Committee to think of their constituents and what they are  
going through day-to-day.  
Brian Anderson, Sugar Grove, stated the County Board needs to be good stewards  
and fiscally responsible for the 540K people that live in Kane County. He stated that the  
reason the two resolutions were placed on this agenda when they were voted against  
at the Finance Committee meeting is because the County Chairman has the choice to  
place what she wants on the agenda. Anderson explained at the Finance Committee  
meeting, that he was delighted to see a 5-1 vote against the tax increase. He explained  
that Illinois faces the second highest gas tax in the nation and has multiple layers to the  
gas tax. Referencing the Department of Revenue, Kane County is charging four cents  
per gallon, which brings in approximately $9.6M of revenue annually. If the gas tax is  
raised to eight cents, the anticipated revenue would be $19,000,245. However,  
Treasurer Lauzen has found a surplus of $10M in interest. If the County leaves the gas  
tax alone and utilizes the $10M, then that equates to $19M. The tax does not need to  
be increased. In closing, Kane County constituents are asking for financial  
responsibility. As everything else is increasing out of the control of the Board, this gas  
tax is something they can control. Anderson stated that as of March 15, 2022, Madam  
Chairman Pierog stated that Kane County's gas tax would still be lower than Lake and  
DuPage's. He asked the Committee to send a prudent message, we are not going to  
raise the gas tax.  
Jim Whittington, 4N912 Greenwood Lane, St. Charles, stated he has been a Kane  
County tax payer since 1979. Referencing the first speaker, he explained that the  
County should use caution when dipping into reserves. However, this does not mean  
that the Board can just raise taxes. He pleaded with the Committee to be more prudent  
with expenses. There has to be ways the County can cut expenses. As pointed out  
before, public employees and those belonging to a union are receiving pay wage  
increases, but many others are not, and are now being faced with the reality of  
everything going up in cost. Whittington feels that the County's timing on raising taxes  
is wrong. Every constituent is reviewing their own household budgets on where they  
can cut cost. The County Board should be doing the same. The usual standard  
response from Board Members is to cut expenses to public safety. This tactic is to  
simply scare people, instead of looking into real ways expenses could be cut.  
Referencing the New York Times, Whittington stated that the Chairman of JP Morgan  
Chase, Jamie Diamond, is selling $1M shares of his stock. This is being done because  
he knows there will be a big drop in the market and wants to collect his profit now.  
Whittington explained that the JP Morgan Chase Chief Executive is as close as Wall  
Street has to a Statesman. On Friday, the Chief Executive sounded a major alarm  
stating, "This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades in  
regards to the bank's quarterly earnings." Additionally, the Chief Executive is preparing  
the nation's largest bank for a range of scary outcomes with other risks including high  
inflation and rising interest rates. Whittington went on to quote additional news articles  
from numerous financial experts. Several of these experts anticipate a full blown  
recession to hit next year. Whittington stated that Treasurer Lauzen has been clear at  
getting the Board a report depicting surplus funds in other areas that the County can  
use while cutting expenses.  
Michelle Buttag, St. Charles, stated that when things don't make sense there is usually  
a reason. Constituents need to look at the bigger picture as to why items are brought  
forth after it was voted down. Buttag spoke on the finances of the Board Members  
comparing them to Kane County residents' financial means. She stated that the gas tax  
has been on high alert for months as being an agenda item to get rid of gas powered  
vehicles and force upon electric vehicles. She mentioned that many Board Members  
seem to be blind to what is going on in the outside world. Buttag stated that the U.S.  
economy is horrible and being attacked on at least four different angles. The Country is  
being stretched very thin. There is no money to defend the nation. She voiced her  
thankfulness to those that are finally waking up to what is going on around them and  
the marching orders that are coming from the higher-ups. She asked the Board not to  
make deals with these people. Election time is coming and Kane County citizens need  
to be made aware to this. She asked the Committee to stop the spending. As citizens  
are focused on trying to keep our homes safe and protect their families. The Board  
should be doing the same for the County.  
Jon Gripe, 39W355 Ferson Woods Drive, St. Charles, stated that those that think the  
last few people were speaking on conspiracy theories need to do some investigations  
of their own to see what is coming in our near future. With that said, he mentioned that  
God was worshipped in this County Board room, but now has become a bubble that  
keeps information and sensibility from getting into this building. Gripe stated that  
creating debt is an easy thing to do. In the last three months, the U.S. Government has  
issued $1T of new debt. Gripe spoke on taxes. He believes in fundamental ideas, such  
as the little man can get ahead, elective officials do care what about what the voters  
think, tax increases are not guaranteed every time it looks like that's the only option,  
and that Board Members can change their minds. Those beliefs and his history as a  
community volunteer has led him to run for County Board. He wants to demonstrate  
that attending board meetings and going home frustrated isn't enough and he had to  
step up and voice his concerns. After speaking with approximately 300 Kane County  
voters, he found that many cannot fathom why any tax would need to be increased.  
While others believe it must be a necessity. After explaining that the County has $10M  
in assets to negate any need to raise taxes in the budget fund, that mysteriously moved  
over to the capital account beyond the reach of any operational use, many go crazy.  
Gripe reviewed the responses he has received from voters, such as inflation is horrible  
and doesn't the Board Members pay taxes. He stated that many residents are making  
plans to leave Kane County and Illinois for good. These citizens' confusion is  
compounded when the County raised assessed values on homes by 40% or more. He  
explained that the Board Members could vote anyway they deem fit no matter what  
their constituents want, think, or feel, but accountability is coming.  
Jean Meyer, 3681 W. Highland Avenue, Elgin, stated she is a Christ follower and  
patriot. She does not want any new taxes. She spoke on the increased median price  
ranges of homes in Kane County. She listed numerous Kane County cities and the  
increased prices of homes in the last nine months. She stated that property taxes are  
going up simply because the assessed evaluation is going to shoot sky high. Over the  
next few years, residents will be paying much more taxes, which should cover any short  
falls that the County may encounter. Meyer decided to do her own research and called  
the Kane County Treasurer's Office and County Clerk's Office. After these phone calls,  
she found that in fact this is how is works. Residents' taxes are increasing just because  
of the assessments. The Board needs to keep this in mind when they are wanting to  
increase other County taxes. Meyer reviewed the history of the British and the  
American colonies, taxed without representation. Board Members need to keep in  
mind that they are representatives of the County's taxpayers and would ask them to not  
raise any more taxes.  
Matt Rodewald, 275 South Street, Burlington, stated he is speaking on behalf of the  
administration at Central Community Unit District 301. He addressed the pending  
petition #4615. This petition is to build a solar farm adjacent to the central campus  
along Plato Road. Rodewald explained that the district has reached out to the  
Renewable Properties Lead Developer, Jeremy Price, about the possibility of pushing  
back and/or removing some solar panels that are directly adjacent to the grade school's  
playground. At this time, there has been no communication from the organization.  
Rodewald spoke about researched concerns surrounding electromagnetic fields (EMF).  
He explained that the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that distance  
between small children and EMFs is prudent. Based on this research, the District has  
tried to work with the business to no prevail. There is still hope that Renewable  
Properties is willing to compromise as a way to mitigate health concerns that have  
been raised by the community. The school district's first concern is the safety and  
well-being of the students.  
Madam Chairman Pierog requested that the Public Information Officer's (PIO) report be  
heard before the Monthly Finance Report and the FY24 Budget Update. The  
Committee provided a consensus to allow the PIO report to be heard first.

Monthly Financials (K. Hopkinson)  
Monthly Finance Reports  
A.  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson stated the monthly finance reports were on file. She  
highlighted the Grand Victoria Casino's (GVC) line items. She explained that the  
casino has a budget for external grants. However, this budget has not been  
spent down. Hopkinson has reached out to address this situation. The GVC has  
stated that a lot of this money has been rewarded, but has not been spent. This  
money should be spent in 2024.  
B.  
FY24 Budget Update  
Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson provided a FY24 Budget update. She noted that this  
presentation is similar to the one shown in the Finance Committee last week. The total  
General Fund budget is $122,418,212, which is approximately $779K less than FY23.  
Hopkinson provided the revenue highlights, which utilized a property tax increase of  
$2,447,509 and $9,676,550 use of reserves. On the expense side, it included a 3%  
wage increase for non-union employees, equity adjustments, vacant positions, and  
reduction in Sheriff's budget for both wages and detainee medical costs. The Special  
Revenue funds total appropriation is $271,946,432, which is $1.2M more that the FY23  
Budget. Hopkinson provided an overview of the contents that make up the General  
Fund. The FY24 revenue total is $122,418,212 and the expense total is $122,418,212.  
She noted that this is a balanced budget. She spoke on the major changes to the  
General Fund. She provided the Forecast and Reserve Target for the General Fund  
over the next four years. Hopkinson explained that the County has an excess amount  
of reserves because the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the Coronavirus Aid,  
Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) money that was given by the State of  
Illinois. This money was used to help pay for County salaries. Within the General Fund,  
Hopkinson stated that the largest line item is the Sheriff's Office salaries. As of October  
31, 2023, the County's General Fund reserve balance is $85,524,888. This is an  
abundance of more than 90 days of reserves. Hopkinson explained that at the end of  
this fiscal year on November 30, 2023, the County's 90-day reserve target is  
$30,182,354. This will leave the County with approximately $51M in excess of  
reserves. In FY24, the current General Fund projected amount is $72,331,191. This will  
include $9M in reserves being used to balance the budget. Hopkinson noted that the  
Building Management Department (BLD) will have exhausted all surplus reserves by  
2026. Hopkinson addressed questions and comments from the Committee. Discussion  
ensued on utilizing ARPA funds to help construct a new Public Health building.  
Hopkinson shared the numerous funds that are using reserves to balance the budget,  
such as the Insurance Liability and Illinois Municipal Retirement funds. She addressed  
the process in figuring out the calculations made when developing a tax levy under the  
Property Tax Law Limit (PTELL) using three different inflation rates, such as 5%,  
3.211864%, and 0%. She noted that the current budget does not use the 5%  
Consumer Price Incex (CPI) rate. The maximum tax extension amount before new  
property with a 5% inflation rate would be $60,619,261, which calculates to a maximum  
tax rate of .00318304. Depending which inflation rate the County chooses, the current  
year New Property Tax Extension revenue amount would be $676,223. The Current  
Year Maximum Tax Extension with a 5% inflation rate amount would be $61,295,475.  
This would be an annual change of 6.171%, which is an annual change in dollars of  
$3,562,854. Hopkinson addressed questions and comments from the Committee.  
Discussion ensued.  
Hopkinson reviewed the Estimated Interest Earned Allocation. Interest Earned is  
allocated across all funds in the County based on the amount of Cash/Investments in  
that fund. ARPA, CARES, and a few other funds are segregated into their own  
cash/investment accounts. She listed the Equity Adjustments by Office/Department  
across all funds. The total amount is $1,880,286. Madam Chairman Pierog stated that  
ASA Frank will be providing a formal presentation on the County's Interest Earned at  
next week's County Board meeting. However, ASA Frank provided information on how  
the County would be allowed to use interest earned for the budget. Hopkinson and  
Frank addressed questions and comments from the Committee. Much discussion  
ensued.  
Hopkinson addressed the possibility of utilizing a percentage of the Regional  
Transportation Authority (RTA) Sales Tax revenue to balance the General Fund and  
then reimburse the remaining funds to KDOT with a Motor Fuel Tax increase. She  
stated that the price of gas in developed by a multitude of items. She referenced  
Gasbuddy.com to show the average gas prices in Kane County. Typically, Kane  
County has a lower gas price than surrounding counties. Madam Chairman Pierog read  
aloud an e-mail pertaining to the oil companies and the profit margins. If the Motor Fuel  
Tax is increased it could potentially gain $6M for the County's General Fund and  
reserves would not have to be used to balance the budget. Discussion ensued.  
8.  
PIO Update (J. Mann)  
PIO Mann announced the Ribbon Cutting Event for the Bliss Road/Main Street  
Roundabout. This event will be held on Thursday, November 16, 2023 at 12:30 p.m.  
She noted that the project was the main feature in the Daily Herald newspaper. Mann  
listed numerous articles that have been published in the Kane County Connects  
Newsletter through October. Additionally, she has continued to work closely with the  
Kane County Health Department (KCHD) on advertising their Community Health  
survey. Mann has partnered with the Gail Borden Library, Elgin, to co-host a discussion  
on Emergency Communication Preparedness on November 17, 2023. She explained  
that she has been taking advantage of free seminars on Artificial Intelligence (AI). She  
attended a seminar with DuPage County that spoke on implications of AI on  
Government. She reminded the Committee that Daylight Saving Time is on November  
5, 2023. Lastly, Mann highlighted the annual employee Halloween Spooktacular event.  
Kane County Department of Transportation (KDOT) was the winner of the best  
Halloween table.  
Madam Chairman invited Fin. Exec. Dir. Hopkinson to present her monthly financial  
reports and the FY24 Budget update.

New Business  
County Board Vice-Chair Tepe stated it is important to bring up situations that are  
occurring about the Kane County Treasurer. There are enough situations that the  
County Board must do something about them. Tepe stated there are five key incidents  
the Board should know about. First, when the County obtains a new Treasurer a  
Transition Audit needs to be done within six months. However, it has not been  
completed. Second, it is important to complete a Check Reconciliation and that  
accounts be edited. The Check Reconciliation should be done by the Finance  
Department in conjunction with the Treasurer's Office. However, this has not been  
completed. This means that millions of dollars in transactions that have not been  
reconciled. Third, the Board knows about the banking relationship where the bank has  
fired us. Tepe explained that after speaking with bank executives, he learned that  
security and key things around the banking laws are the only reasons a bank would fire  
the County. Any new bank would have those same concerns. Fourth, there has been a  
police report filed about $11.2M that ended up available to an ex-employee through  
that employee's accounts. This employee filed the police report to protect themselves.  
This shows serious reasons that the County should control and secure accounts  
associated with the County's money. Lastly, it has been rumored that a $400K bond  
has gone missing. Tepe stated that the Board needs to order an external audit of the  
Treasurer's office that is overseen by the Finance Department and Auditor. In regards  
to the police report, the County Board should hire a private attorney to handle this.  
Tepe wanted to bring these five situations to the Board's attention to get the Board in  
order and involved.  
Madam Chairman Pierog stated that a request for an External Audit and that the Board  
should hire private counsel has been brought forth. She explained that no action could  
be taken at today's meeting. Madam Chairman stated she will speak to the State's  
Attorney's Office and will bring forth the decision made pertaining to the audit.  
Discussion ensued on the next steps to take on these issues.  
Madam Chairman Pierog introduced a resolution authorizing salary increase for the  
Director of the Office of Community Reinvestment. This is for informational purposes  
only at this time. Madam Chairman explained that one resolution was going to go out to  
cover all Director's salaries, but OCR Dir. Berger would like this resolution to be passed  
prior. Much discussion ensued. This resolution will be placed on the November 14,  
2023 County Board Meeting to be voted upon.
