5. Monthly Community Outreach Report (R. Nagel)
Referencing a PowerPoint presentation not included in the agenda packet, Community Outreach Coordinator Nagel shared Kane County Connects (KCC) readership statistics. He provided an overview of the property tax prepayment story and read correspondence from citizens.
Supv. of Assessments Armstrong further explained the IRS advisory memorandum on the prepayment of property taxes. He noted the 2017 Assessment Certification will be completed early this year.
Chair Lauzen felt the KCC article made sense; he prepaid his taxes as well. He pointed out that not every county had the ability to take prepayments.
6. Monthly Financials (J. Onzick)
Monthly financial reports were included in the agenda packet. Finance Exec. Dir. Onzick noted they were preliminary reports. There were no budget concerns to report. In terms of the overall county budget performance, it is too early to comment. Postings to revenue, expenses, and adjustments for FY17 will be made through the end of January. Onzick discussed other areas of concern. The preliminary audit fieldwork with Baker Tilly will take place next week. He announced the county received a notice that the Recovery Zone Bond program will be undergoing a routine audit by the IRS. Onzick did not anticipate any problems.
Chair Lauzen asked each committee chair to share thoughts on anything of importance that would have been discussed at the Finance Committee meeting in December. In response, Admin. Chair Allan shared her concerns over the list of bills presented at Finance. Auditor Hunt stated the list had already been prepared and could be sent to the Board later in the morning.
