PUBLIC COMMENT  
Madam Chair invited public comment.  
Board Member David Young read the first paragraph of the Trust Act, specifically  
Section 1644, Title A, and pointed out that no state or local government agencies and  
immigration authorities can restrict communication regarding an individual's immigration  
status. He asked whether the Kane County sheriff can cooperate with the federal  
agencies or not. More recently, he stated that Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a  
lawsuit against Illinois and Chicago that challenged the Trust Act. He suggested the  
board read the Trust Act and stated that Illinois Governor Pritzker supported the  
deportation of undocumented and violent convicted criminals.  
Treasurer Chris Lauzen discussed his understanding was that the board's and  
chairman's function was to set performance standards and maintain them. He  
presented a PowerPoint of his office's two-year results and shared the earnings that  
the county had received over that period of time.  
Resident Jim Littleton talked about the amount of taxes he has paid over the years and  
stated the county also needs to trim its administrative "bloat", citing examples from the  
county's web site. He stated the committee structure has contributed to duplication  
and should be streamlined. It was difficult for residents to pay another tax.  
Susan Webb-Kmiec agreed more efficiency was needed but also believed the  
(referendum) tax is a small price to pay to live in such a beautiful area.  
Brian Anderson, Sugar Grove, recalled at the January 29th Finance Committee  
meeting a board member asked the board to stop and not sign on with the firm of  
Barry-Dunn, which was in the midst of a $7.2M Dollar lawsuit. He suggested the board  
re-review the 8 bidders again, but furthermore, recommended they review each of the  
county's departments by line item and come up with a freeze plan and be financially  
frugal.  
Resident Wilma Van Arragon reminded the board of last month's board meeting about  
poverty and thanked the board for supporting the proclamation. She explained how  
she has worked with various life-saving agencies that support helping those in poverty,  
believed in helping society and taking care of each other.  
Deb Fisher, an Aurora retired resident, does not like paying taxes. However, she spoke  
about her positive dialog with Members Gumz and Bates on how the proposed sales  
tax increase would support public safety in the county. She was willing to pay her fair  
share because it was the quality of services being received.  
Mark Adamian, Elburn, spoke to the county's budget, the fact that costs go up for  
services, etc., and the fact that Americans are misunderstanding capitalism versus  
economic systems. He explained the difference between communism and socialism.  
As for taxes, he reiterated taxes pay for the schools and with good schools comes  
more residents. He suggested hiring a forensic accountant.

Authorizing an Interfund Loan for the Payment of Office of  
Community Reinvestment Program Expenses from the General  
Fund in Instances Where Funding Agreements or  
Reimbursements are Delayed  
Member Iqbal opposed this resolution because the department was asking for a  
loan from the County Board in order to keep the program running. He voiced  
concern about the grant running dry given the current economy and believed no  
further money lending should proceed. Finance Dir. Hopkinson explained the  
request was a renewal by the board. Also, this request was for $600,000 and it  
has always existed in the Office of Community Reinvestment as well as in other  
departments. (Gumz returns). Discussion of the process followed by Hopkinson.  
OCR Director Scott Berger confirmed his office does have access to lines of  
credit through on-line portals for all of the programs.

Authorization to Approve Agreement with BerryDunn for Strategic  
Planning Services  
D.  
Member Gumz discussed that from the public's perspective, it sounded as if the  
strategic plan was to spend more/create more, which was not true. She  
believed the benefit of the plan outweighed the costs; the plan would show  
where deferrals could be made, where strategies could be made and planning  
for the future. Other members felt the principal of BerryDunn did not address  
how they would save the county money. Questions followed as to: 1) whether  
BerryDunn would report to a steering committee or the full board, 2) whether the  
elected offices would be included in the project, and 3) when the last strategic  
plan was adopted (2006).
