Good morning, Commissioners and Chairman Daly.

Cyril Thomas Comptroller.

For the four-month period ending March 31st of 2026, the general fund had a favorable net budget variance of 261.7 million.

It was comprised of a 219.4 million favorable revenue variants and a favorable expense variance of 42.3 million.

The favorable revenue variance is driven primarily by county sales tax, property tax, and cigarette tax receipts higher than forecasted.

The health fund had a favorable net budget variance of 27.7 million on a budget or cash basis.

It was comprised of a 3.8 million favorable revenue variants and a favorable expense variance of 23.9 million.

The accrual-based financial reports prepared by the health fund are a better indicator of its financial condition as enterprise fund.

State revenues update.

Through March 31st of 2026, the State of Illinois or the County, 98 million.

That included 88.7 million due to the general fund and 9.3 million due to the health fund.

The receivable was comprised of 17.2 million from AOIC, administrative office of Illinois Court, 0.4 million for rent and 80.4 million for federal pass-through and state direct grants.

In fiscal year 26, the Federal Government canceled $700,000 in one-time grants related to BED.

That concludes my report.

Does anyone have any questions?

Thank you.

Good morning, Commissioners.

Good morning, Chairman.

So as mentioned, year to date, the health system is $27.7 million favorable to budget, comprised of revenue favorability and expense favorability driven on the revenue side mostly by uh dish and uh directed payments being favorable and some unfavorability in terms of patient fees due to increased uncompensated care.

Um there's no past due capitation from the state and uh dish is uh has been received timely.

Any questions about any any of the members?

If not, roll call.

And please add Commissioner Gainer, and we did, but to all previous roll calls.

Yes, sir.

Sean, Commissioner Sean Morrison.

Thank you.

Umtains to that dish payment.

I know there was talk um that it is possible and expected that that that the dish uh reimbursements could actually become less and less with each year.

Is that is that still something that we're looking at?

The uh those decreases have been delayed for now.

Okay.

Through uh the end of the fiscal year, fiscal 27, actually.

Okay, through the end of 27.

Yeah, so yeah, correct.

All right, but so all right, you guys are on it.

The whole point is that's something that we would need to anticipate and monitor, you know, with the passing years and that kind of deal.

Yeah, that is that's correct.

Thank you for that update.

And Scott, I know you have mentioned it and we're waiting for word from the state uh whether or not uh we might explain just going to some detail for the public.

The RFP on the health plan.

Yes, yes.

Um so the the latest news there is expecting an update from the state literally any day now.

Thank you.

If no other questions, roll call.

Thank you, Chairman.

I will start the roll call again with the votes that were recorded.

And this mattered bill.

Did you have any did you want to go on to your resolution?

Relative to the first one.

Yes.

Thank you, Chairman.

Relative to the item, uh, the first item, which is the thriving communities gun prevention and reduction initiative.

Uh, just wanted to uh stress um that uh looking for an eye vote from all.

Um it's very important that we continue to uh address uh really an an epidemic which we're seeing that is more and more guns on the streets and throughout Cook County.

Um understand that uh many uh own guns in a lawful manner, but uh many do not.

And I think it's important that we as a board continue to uh shine a light on this epidemic, this important issue as we go forward um as we strive for safety for the residents of Cook County, young, old, and in between.

Thank you.

Thank you, Bill.

Uh Commissioner.

Any other questions?

Oh, I know the uh the next item they reach out, so I don't know if there's any questions from the uh nationwide.

If not, roll call, please.

And these two items.

I'm an I vote, but uh I want to just make it clear that we have gotten the advice and consent from counsel and other uh experts that that is an appropriate use of the ARPA funds.

So with that I'm fine.

You are aye on all items, correct?

Thank you, sir.

Uh Commissioner Scott.

Aye.

Thank you.

Commissioner Stance.

Aye.

Commissioner Trevor?

Aye.

Commissioner Vasquez.

Aye.

Mr.

Chairman?

Aye.

Chairman, 16 ayes, one absent vote for Commissioner Moore.

The item is approved.

Commissioner Naya.

Thank you, Chairman.

I'd like to move to accept the substitute for item 26-1251.

It's been moved by Commissioner Naya, second by Commissioner Dugner to accept the substitute for item 261251.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Oppose the motion carries.

Commissioner Anai.

Uh now I'd like to move to uh defer the substitute for item 26-uh 12 uh 51.

This is a resolution um that uh is updating um the retention bonus pay program.

Um just to give some background, we are going to be deferring it, but just wanted to just put it on the record that um I I had brought this uh the original uh language for the recruitment um and retention bonus back in 2022 is a pilot program um to ensure you know we kept our workforce um specifically after the gray resignation.

So the original language that was proposed and is on our agenda.

There were some concerns um uh that were raised by the administration.

Um we tried to address those concerns with the substitute.

Um we um specifically addressed um areas that might have conflicted with our resolution uh budget resolution um and some areas specifically with um you know ensuring that the Bureau of Uh Human Resources and the Budget Director were part of the conversation alongside some of the agencies.

So we did meet with Laura with the Bureau Chief Um Haddocks and also with the budget director.

Um we received language late last night, which is why we're not bringing um you know this forward today for discussion.

Um but we are look forward to working, you know, with the administration and seeing if we can find a compromise.

Um our goal is to ensure again that um agencies um are a part of the process um from the beginning to the end of the of the program.

I know Commissioner Dugnan, um I'm not sure if um she had any follow-ups to that.

Yes, she does.

Commissioner Degan.

Thank you, Chair.

Um so thank you for uh Commissioner Anaya for talking about the kind of administrative background and uh the narrative about what brings us here today.

I also just wanted to mention that the resolution as it stood in 2022 really included the budget director and the head of HR to opine on bonus retention decisions, and I think what the initial intention was was always to have the elected or appointed at the seat of the table as well in that decision making process to ensure that while budget looked at the dollars and HR looked at um the administrative portions of making sure countywide policy was uh um making sure that it was uh that it was streamlined countywide and that um it made sense countywide that having the uh separately elected or appointed to be able to participate to have a seat at the table um was really important.

And so I think we all agree that when decisions are made in a silo, if there are if there is agreement, then there's no issue.

Really the problems come in where there isn't an agreement.

And so to have the checks and balances to have this board say, hey, this is what we would like, to have the separately elected say, hey, if if if budget and HR make a decision, this is what the collateral consequence would be, is really important to have all three legs of that stool.

So really that's what the uh the background in this is, and we are happy to work with the administration to try to find language in collaboration and together.

So we are agreeing to um to defer it, but it is really a really small, very minor change.

I know that when we are on this board and there's a lot of discussion, it seems really big, but the intent on this really is in the micro sense, just to allow those three folks to come together to have a voice and to be able to participate in this process meaningfully.

So thank you.

Thank you.

And in our discussion, hopefully we could see what hasn't worked, if it hasn't worked, they elected our at the table, and many times you're at the table.

But when we ever need revenues from any of the elected totally separate, the elected to always take a pass.

So the motion has been moved by the commit commissioners and seconded voice vote, right?

Voice vote for the motion preferred voice vote.

All those in favor shouldn't probably be saying aye.

Oppose the motion carries.

Commissioner Lower.

Thank you.

Thank you, Chairman.

I now move to approve item two six-1032, a proposed contract between the Office of the Controller and RSM US LLP for professional auditing services in the amount of six million nine hundred fifty thousand three hundred fifty-four dollars.

I move to approve item two six-1014 proposed contract between the Cook County Merit Board and Industrial Organizational Solutions Inc.

out of Oakbrook, Illinois for law enforcement entry level and promotional testing services in the amount of 1,259,228.

And I moved to approve item 26-1064 proposed contract between the Department of Planning and Development and ICF Incorporated LLC out of Reston, Virginia for consultant services for community development block grant disaster in the amount of five million nine hundred and three thousand four hundred twenty-nine dollars and twenty-four cents.

It's been moved by Commissioner Lowry Sick by Commissioner Burton to approve the items as outlined by the commissioner and his motion.

Commissioner Naya.

Thank you, Chair.

I just have a question regarding the sheriff's item 26-1014.

Is Brian here, Brianta?

I'm sorry, and it's the sheriff board, as you said.

Yeah.

So just my question is in regards to so in the past, we have heard a lot that you know we do a lot of training.

You know, that oh, I think when I say we I may guess I'm talking about the sheriff's office, do a lot of training, and then those individuals get um either poached or go to other agencies.

Um can you walk us through like what the time frame of somebody getting trained is and is there any commitment that um some of the the those folks have to make to maintain within the department within a year, et cetera.

Like what does that look like?

Um the runner I'm Brian Town, I'm the executive director of the Cook County Sheriff's Merit Board.

Um I think that question probably could be addressed better by the sheriff's office, but from my understanding, um they're on probation for 15 months.

Um so they could be you know terminated at will within that period.

But I think they lose they tend to lose a lot of people later on in the process after the academy.

Okay.

Because this contract before us, it's going through the mayor board.

So what is the what is the role of you all um within that?

Is that that you all help get people trained or certified or we get them certainly?

Yeah, is that the process?

Yeah, certified.

So the application process, the background check, um, the certification by the merit board members, and then we pass their files over to the sheriff's office.

Okay, because it looks like we're pouring a lot into folks.

So I I would just encourage you all to also I'm sure you already collaborated with with the sheriff's office, but I mean I think that this is an issue that needs to be addressed.

I mean, we're talking about like, you know, um yesterday we had uh a lengthy conversation in our labor committee that talked about the workforce and one of the recurring issues continues to be that you know there's more people maybe bleeding out of uh being um you know within um the sheriff's office than what's coming in, um, and the fact that that creates some vacancies and some issues down the line.

So I think that if we can figure out a better way to collaborate, that would be really helpful.

Um again, I'm sure that you all do, but um there seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed, and this is it is a you know a big contract, so just want to make sure that again the money that is being invested is being used um wisely throughout the whole process.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

Please add Commissioner Moore to the roll call and all previous roll calls.

Uh Commissioner Sean Morse.

Chairman, thank you.

On that point, you know, the reason I love finances, we get to talk about all types of issues with the uh county, and my colleague just asked some uh keen questions based around retention rates as it comes to the sheriff's department.

I think and the the discussions we've had here over the last several years uh as it pertains to employee retention as well.

Umtrary to what people might think, there are certain positions and jobs within our county where I think we have personnel that are underpaid.

Um I think that certainly applies to many of them, whether it's a state's attorney or DA or but it also applies to the sheriff's department.

And we know that in law enforcement general throughout the country, uh the numbers and recruitment levels are down, and then once they're in there, they're also um uh going to other departments that are offering better pay.

Um and we have identified and discussed over the last few years at our sheriffs, our bailiffs, uh all the way across the board for us reserve.

Uh our law enforcement personnel are are in comparison to other departments uh of the same scale are underpaid.

And I think that that's something that the board uh should seriously look at.

Uh I think that the sheriff's office themselves should probably look at that.

And and I know that they are, but they should probably take a serious look at that and figure out if that's if that is a topic that they wish to discuss coming this coming budget season.

Um far be it from me, what the Republican wants to spend money, but yes, uh there are certain spots and certain government entities where I think that that there are areas that that we we probably need to increase those if we have a realistic expectation to recruit, train and retain quality personnel.

So if you guys will just put that mindful in your meetings and uh discuss that as a point because you have the opportunity now it's going to be coming up very shortly again.

So thanks.

But that's not for now.

Commissioner Stamps.

Thank you, Chair.

Um I was just curious uh when the contracts to the point that Commissioner Morrison was making relative to being underpaid.

I was just wondering where that fit in uh with contract negotiations when the contracts come up from whichever union is being represented.

I know that there's always a colour, but I was just curious as to what the conversation might sound like to make salaries comparable to what other salaries are looking like in cities that look like Chicago that may help to retain.

So that was that was one question.

But then the other question was I know that um oftentimes um particularly in education, uh, well, at least my experience in education, when there is a uh financial commitment, there is a commitment that the educator must make to years of service once that commitment of training is made.

So I was just curious if there's anybody from the Sheriff's Department that's here that might be able to speak to that as the gentleman said that the merit board would not really know that answer.

And I don't know if anyone from the sheriff's office is here.

There'll be probably but as you know, Commissioner, this is a separate board.

You are under and there's been discussion and having it separated from the sheriff's office in a separate budget in the past that we have not done that, but there's been discussion since they are a separate entity in the sense of a merit board uh doing that.

But Brian, I don't know if you could address any of the issues that Commissioner brought up or if you're you because the sheriff's I don't see anyone else from the sheriff's office, I'm glancing around.

But I think you're out you you went outline maybe more in detail what you do with the merit board?

With the merit board.

Yeah, we do entry-level testing, promotional testing, and discipline of sworn members.

We do um entry level um application process for new correctional officers and then promotional testing for all the sworn ranks within corrections, courts and police, and then we also do discipline for terminations at the jail.

So you approve the hiring.

Yes.

Correct.

That's what commissioner yes, so you approve the hiring.

And what within that hiring then an individual is hired today.

That information is transferred over we certify them to be hired.

And then those applicants are sent over to the sheriff's office, who then has their own process that could lead to hiring.

Separately.

Totally separate separately.

Yes.

And they must take from within that list.

Yes.

Okay.

Okay, thank you.

That's I think that's what it helps when uh we what you come up to explain the role of the uh individual boards.

Uh what I'm asking, and and I'm not sure if I'm asking the right entity, but what I'm asking is, is there when there's this onboarding or when they're taken on or approving these candidates, is there any commitment to serve?

Like, you know, you sign this and you must be on the force for two years or three years or or anything like that, or is it that we make this investment in their training and their onboarding, and then you know they leave.

I mean, is there any commitment to serve is is all I'm actually.

Okay, if you I don't think that he's could you answer that.

I'm not aware of that.

But we ask that's that is a request we have from the sheriff, and I I believe also it would be other departments or anyone else who does similar bone uh whether it that bonuses a bonus probably be part of it.

But more importantly, if we help for a master's degree and doctorates, what percent stay after they receive their degree and the county has helped them in in assistance on it.

Correct.

Is that uh Commissioner?

So thank you, Chair.

The Sheriff's Office has heard the your request, and it will be um if there's a follow-up you need um from the anyone from the sheriff's office who might be listening, let me know.

Okay.

Commissioner Aguilar.

Yeah, the follow-up on Commissioner uh stamp's uh questions.

I wasn't clear.

So when you're trained to trained, and we invest money in training the officers.

Um is there an incentive for them to stay along?

Because uh, you know, we invest money in the training and then they leave.

We need to do that.

So it's some somewhat of a risk.

You know, I mean we would put time and effort on individuals.

We hope that they stay on board for a while.

They certainly you know, serve the sheriff's sheriff's department.

Yeah, I mean I think I can not speaking for the sheriff's office directly, but there are avenues of promotion opportunities?

Yeah, opportunities go to the sheriff's police.

Um you can't apply for the for sheriff's police position outside of the sheriff's office, so you have to be a correctional officer.

So that's a huge incentive.

Um if we if they ever opened up that avenue to outsiders, you know, you probably see a lot more applicants for that, but we'd see applicants for correctional officer drastically decrease.

If the officers want to uh pursue a higher education, is there in a senate for them to get to get some kind of reward or maybe reimbursement or or um investment in their education?

Um there's obviously like ongoing, you know, internal training that they get.

Um I mean, I mean outside, say they want to go to a university outside.

Oh, that I'm not aware of.

I mean, if if it you know, I think it existed at some point, didn't exist, and I'm not I can't speak to the present if that if that happens, but it would probably be something that could be offered to all county employees.

Okay.

Thank you.

Commissioner Vasquez.

Oh, I'm sorry.

So this I think Brian, thank you for your presentation.

But again, I would say this would apply to anyone making a presentation.

It's not directed towards you.

I would begin by outlining your role in county government, how you your role in the county government in general, your role in the budget, and the process, if since you are sort of independent, say a separate entity.

But again, uh in the funding of it, that's important as well.

And that applies to anyone making a presentation going forward.

Sean, did you have a follow-up?

No.

There's uh there's been a motion on the floor by Commissioner Lowry, second by Commissioner Brittany to approve all these three items.
