Budget/Levy
Mr. Austin stated that they will have a flat levy and it will not increase from last year. Mr. Austin explained that the EAV was good this year. This time last year, in an Ambulance fund, they were negative $2 million and this year, there is a 1.3 million change. Once we get to November 30th of this year, they will be at about $500,000 negative in that balance. That is a $1.5 million turn-around. He explained that this is because of the management staff and the change in the Ambulance Board. This was key to having this flat tax levy. He also explained that the County General’s fund shows we are still eating up reserves to the point where we don’t have a lot of reserves left in the General fund account. This next year, the focus will need to be on the reserve funds in County General and Capital Expenses. He stated the finance committee worked hard at getting departments to plan better for capital expenses.
Mr. Kerkhoff asked how we would get more money to add to reserves.
Mr. Austin stated that things from the Ambulance Department, the IMRF going up and other things took away the opportunity to build reserve. If the trend of those staying stabilized continues, we won’t have to do a lot to raise more revenue.

Executive Committee
Committee Report (Mr. Austin)
Resolution-
a. LeaseAgreementAuthorization(AttachmentD-1)
Mr. Austin made a motion to approve the lease agreement authorization.
Mr. Obert seconded the motion.
Mr. Austin explained that this is a lease purchase agreement and that we are getting into a lease purchase agreement for a larger expense of capital equipment. Mr. Austin asked Mr. Simon when we own the vehicles.
Mr. Simon stated we own them on day one of possession. He stated it is similar to traditional options. They purchased 4 ambulances and the cots that go on the ambulances. He explained that instead of trying to do large expenses segmented out, we can do a larger bulk at better pricing and pay over time. They closed on the lease option in November so that when the first payment is due in 2021, it does not hit during our cash-crunch time. He stated May of 2021 is when we will take possession.
Mr. Austin asked Mr. Simon if this will put us at a good spot for cash flow and that the only reason this is possible is because the cash-flow position of the department has changed a lot. Mr. Austin also asked him to monitor it very closely to make sure we are sold what we were told we should get.
Mr. Simon stated that this was the first time he thinks that they did a true specified and bidding process and that there was competition and hungry for that business. Mr. Bellis asked if we are retiring 4 units to use the new ones and if we are going to have to replace more.
Mr. Simon stated that they have looked at the major pieces of equipment they need in the department. They built at 10-year plan for these pieces of equipment.
Mr. Austin stated that they are building the capital expense in the department’s budget instead of the general fund.
Mr. Reich stated that we are being proactive and we are fortunate that we are aligned to get those.
