6. Monthly Financials (J. Onzick)

Monthly financial reports were included in the agenda packet. Referencing a PowerPoint presentation, Finance Exec. Dir. Onzick shared an overview of an ordinance authorizing a 2% average wage increase for the non-union employees of the County’s elected and appointed officials and for Animal Control, as well as a 2% wage increase for department heads. The ordinance also amended the Board of Review salaries specified in the County Code. In addition, the ordinance authorized a budget adjustment to fund the wage increase for the non- union employees and department heads, as well as for the union employees of the Judiciary & Courts, Court Services and KDOT. A budget adjustment for wage increases was unnecessary for the State’s Attorney’s special revenue funds, the Veterans Commission, and Drug Court Special Resources Fund since the budget for a wage increase was already built into their adopted budgets. Onzick reviewed the source of funding for the wage increases.

7. Monthly Community Outreach Report (R. Nagel)

Referencing a presentation, Kane County Connects (KCC), Community Outreach Coordinator, Nagel reported for the first time in the history of KCC readership for the e-newsletter was down last month about 1,100-1,200 due to suspended e-mail accounts. Numbers for the Page Views, Facebook, and blog have continued to rise. The suspended e-mail accounts will affect all Kane County e-newsletters. The newsletters and page views have grown each year by 15%-20%. Nagel discussed his strategy to regain some of the lost subscribers.

11. Committee Reports

Human Services Chair Surges thanked each party involved in the termination of the IPBC. He asked for guidance on how the Board would like the healthcare provider’s information presented at the upcoming meeting. Group Alternatives should receive revised pricing from each provider early next week. Lauzen reviewed a timeline for going forward.

Agriculture Chair Kenyon reminded the committee that next week’s County Board meeting will be Government Day for the 4H people. He encouraged the Board to pick a young person to shadow them.

In reference to Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) correspondence that was distributed to the Board, Chair Lauzen reported 18-20 counties have come forward with an offer to help with this matter. He felt the IMRF's action to lower the expectation of their performance was premature.

Lauzen shared his suggestions regarding any complaints, noting that if an issue comes up, he should be included in the communication. The collective standard should be 100% transparency. If someone has a policy difference, it should be made in the form of a resolution and presented at the appropriate standing committee.
