Members of the McLean County Board.
From: Craig Nelson, Director of Information Technologies
Joseph Weter, Director of Application Services
Re: Veoci Renewal

Information Technologies respectfully requests approval of the attached renewal term from
Veoci. This virtual emergency operations software has provided the central command and
response environment utilized by the Emergency Management Agency since 2022. EMA
director Cathy Beck has requested this renewal be approved.
The renewal term is 08-01-2026 to 07-31-2027. The total is $20,194 and is a $992 increase over
last year.
Our civil attorney examined the renewal and recommended several improvements to the original
contract terms with Veoci. Ultimately, they determined that, because EMA is satisfied with the
present arrangement, renegotiating now may not be beneficial.
This is a planned expense budgeted within the Fiscal Year 2026.
We respectfully request approval of the renewal and will be happy to answer any questions you
have.

McLean County Board.
From: Craig Nelson, Director of Information Technologies
Matt Berger, Assistant Director of Information Technologies
Re: Consolidation, Renewal, and Expansion of County backup solution through Joint Purchasing Master Contract

Information Technologies respectfully requests permission to purchase Cohesity DataProtect and Cohesity
FortKnox under the terms of a Joint Purchasing Master Contract (JPMC) contract negotiated between the
Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) and Carahsoft Technology Corp.
County policy 116-8 specifies “If, in the opinion of the department head and/or County Administrator, it is
advantageous to McLean County to purchase items through joint purchasing programs, as provided in 30 ILCS
525, the department head then shall not be required to request quotations for items with a cost in excess of
$1,500 or more or to request competitive bids for items with a cost in excess of $30,000.” Additionally, the
State of Illinois procurement law (30 ILCS 525/4.2) Governmental Joint Purchasing Act specifies “Any
governmental unit may, without violating any bidding requirement otherwise applicable to it, procure supplies
and services under any contract let by the State pursuant to lawful procurement procedures…”
The State of Illinois has signed a Participating Addendum for Cloud Solutions through NASPO ValuePoint.
Artic Wolf is distributed by Carahsoft as part of its Cloud Solutions portfolio. Illinois Contracts with NASPO
can be found at this link: https://www.naspovaluepoint.org/participants/participant-results/?state=Illinois.
The resulting contract price from Carahsoft is $92,212.87.
Cohesity DataProtect is the backup solution for the County’s O365 data (e-mail, Teams and SharePoint).
Cohesity FortKnox is backup solution for County data that is not in O365.
The two products purchased through Carahsoft cover off-site Disaster Recovery, aligning with the Facilities and
Infrastructure Strategic Priority Area.
This consolidates purchases made by the County throughout the year into a single purchase with coverage dates
coinciding with the expiration of support of the backup appliance in the County’s datacenter.

To: The Honorable Members of the McLean County Executive Committee and the Honorable
Members of the McLean County Board.
From: Craig Nelson, Director of Information Technologies
Matt Berger, Assistant Director of Information Technologies
Re: Expansion of Contract for Arctic Wolf coverage

Information Technologies respectfully requests permission to expand the coverage of the
County’s managed SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system to cover new
systems that have come online since the beginning of our contract with Arctic Wolf.
When we began our contract with Arctic Wolf, we did not have any systems running in
Microsoft’s or Azure’s cloud IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). We have since begun deploying
systems in these environments and this expansion is to provide coverage of those environments.
The cost for this expansion is $455.00 through the remainder of year 2 of our term (through
2027-03-31) and $553.16 for year 3 of our term (through 2028-03-31).
We respectfully request approval of this agreement and will be happy to answer any questions
you have.

MEMORANDUM
July 16, 2025
To: The Honorable Members of the McLean County Executive Committee and the Honorable
Members of the McLean County Board.
From: Craig Nelson, Director of Information Technologies
Matt Berger, Assistant Director of Information Technologies
Re: Purchase of Wireless Access Points through joint purchasing contract

Information Technologies respectfully requests permission to purchase wireless access points
under the terms of the intergovernmental joint purchasing agreement. County policy §116-8
states “If, in the opinion of the department head and/or County Administrator, it is advantageous
to McLean County to purchase items through joint purchasing programs, as provided in 30 ILCS
525, the department head then shall not be required to request quotations for items with a cost in
excess of $1,500 or more or to request competitive bids for items with a cost in excess of
$30,000.”
The MHEC contract vehicle provided by HPE is through the Midwestern Higher Education,
contract MHEC-12152020. The contract and amendment are available at:
https://mhec.org/what-we-do/contracts/technology/hewlett-packard-enterprise/
https://mhec.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/HPE_MHEC12152020_0_compressed.pdf
The County’s existing wireless access points are reaching end of support at the end of this
calendar year.
This purchase is for hardware only. There will be a future RFP brought to the County Board for
the installation of these access points. Due to industry concern for the availability of the required
access points, the current instability of hardware pricing, and the beneficial nature of purchasing
hardware separately from installation labor, IT feels that it is most beneficial to bring these two
items to board separately.
The total cost for this purchase is $186,678.00. We respectfully request approval of this agreement
and will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Status

Status Summary:
During June, the project team remained paused in many areas while the Treasurer’s Office
focused on the first tax installment payments.
RISK ALERT: The Auditor’s continued delay in performing tasks is making issues worse:


The Auditor has not reviewed and approved the correction steps for converted balances
for 2025 and 2026. Those balances were missing Control Account entries.
o The Auditor has been provided with scenarios to review and offered time with
the vendor’s experts to review.
o Until the corrected conversion is verified, 2025 cannot be closed and 2026 views
do not show correct balances. (=red for Data Conversion & Fiscal Close)



The Auditor was asked to make decisions on Capital Asset accounting to complete
configuration and for the Data Conversion.
o Not configuring the system for assets increases the backlog of payments to
review. (=red for Capital Assets)
o Without decisions about accounts, the Capital Asset conversion is further
delayed. (=red for Data Conversion)

Finance Project Status

End of June 2026

Page 22 of 169



Monthly closes have not occurred for the months in 2026. This allows for new data
entry mistakes if people charge new activity to earlier months in 2026 (that should be
closed.) (=red for Fiscal Close)

Some progress during June occurred as Departments were trained on the new year budget
process, and worked on their budget requests. Training also occurred in the area of grants and
some Departments plan to set up grants received in July in the new system.

Progress Achieved in June:


2 “official” working meetings with Tyler – both were Status meetings.



Worked through Grant Accounting setup with more Departments to show how their actual
awards will be set up. (=green for Project & Grants)



Completed the Invoice & Vendor attachments conversion.



Reports development continued and new needs are being met. (=green for Reporting)

Project Risks


Waiting for input from the Auditor about accounts to use for Capital Assets. This area
remains red because the setup is still not complete. (= red for CA)



Bid Management work on hold due to competing priorities – we’ll try for July. (= red on BM)



Use of General Billing and Accounts Receivable for grants (and other areas) is still not
complete. With grants coming in July, setup is beginning. (= yellow for GB).

Goals for Next Month


Auditor approval of the last steps for data conversion, allowing the close of 2025.



Auditor will close 2025 and begin closing the months of 2026.



Auditor will choose the setup for Capital Assets, so that the Capital Assets conversion can
proceed. (=red for CA)



Revisit Bid Management and General Billing to improve procedures and system use.



Clean up of early entries in revenue that were reversed but still require posting. We are
waiting on answers from Support. They will have a $0 impact on the journal but need to be
completed. (=yellow for AR)

Finance Project Status

Task
What Account (Objects) should be used for each Type/Sub-Type?
- The Auditor has a spreadsheet from Feb 2026 to complete.
Add Manufacturer code VALU
8 combinations of Org1-Org2-Org3 values need to be mapped for
conversion
Add 8 Funding Source codes.
Who will act as backup for the Asset Review? Need two people set up
in security for this role.
What should happen with accounts that start with 3 and have the
words "DO NOT USE" in them? Should these be deactivated after
coming forward, or is this a warning to other users that only the Auditor
should use them? Which funds should have access to them?
Funds can be classified by Fund Type and CAFR Type. Current settings
should be reviewed and possibly changed.

Tyler's expert suggested 3 for Custodial Funds and 4 for Enterprise
Funds. (These clash with our existing numbering scheme - so we might
want to keep our scheme and adjust the names.)
Procedures and practice in running the monthly close.
2024/01 has an unposted journal. What is this?
What user roles should have permission to override the Account
Period?
*** This is what keeps people from hitting past months ***
- Many users have this ability now (and will need to hit period 13 !!!)
*** so maybe we need to just understand that people CAN hit closed
periods. Those show up again as open journals and can then be
reviewed and corrected as needed.
Org Short Descriptions need to be Committees for the Committee
report. Updates to 310 Orgs needed.

Status Summary:
In June, the project team continued the pause most work due to the new Go-Live date (pushed
back to October 1) and the busy season for the Treasurer’s office due to the first tax
installment.
However, the gears of progress have re-started – the project team began meeting again at the
end of June to configure Time & Attendance and begin testing Timeclock functions.

Progress Achieved in June:


3 “official” working meetings with Tyler.



Timeclocks are connected to the network and ready for testing.



Meeting schedule created for the new timeline, featuring two more parallel payrolls in July
and August – then training in September.



Mappings were created for the conversion of past paycheck deduction and pay codes,
which are necessary for the conversion of paycheck history.



Signed a contract to extract Applicant Information from the County’s current system.

HR/Payroll Project Status

End of June 2026

Page 25 of 169

Project Risks


Ongoing effort is needed to update employees in both the old and the new system,
requiring dual entry of all employee changes. This must continue until the new system is
running payroll.
o The HR team has taken over updates from May forward.
o The Treasurer’s office is still responsible for updates from mid-March to May.
(=yellow in Payroll)



Training for time sheet entry must be planned and created. Although the delayed date
helps, there are still videos and materials needed. (=yellow in Time Entry)



Training on Employee Access and Expenses must also be planned and delivered. (=yellow in
Employee Access and yellow in Employee Expenses)



Reporting needs by Payroll and Departments must be explored further. The team will need
to gather the reports that Departments use and prepare for their equivalents. (= yellow in
Reports Analysis.)

Goals for Next Month


Finish the Data Conversion of departed employees, which is necessary to bring in payroll
history. (=yellow in Data Conversion)



Plan for training of time entry.



Test punching timeclocks.



Develop Employee Expense templates



Build interfaces that will occur on a regular schedule:


Timesheets imports from Highways, Health Dept, METCOM, RPC and County Clerk (for
election workers) (=yellow in Time Entry)



Import the Applicant pool from the old applicant system. (=yellow in CON)



Yearly interface to load Benefit Enrollments from Employee Navigator (=yellow in 3RD)

MEMORANDUM
July 6th, 2026
To: The Honorable Members of the Executive Committee of the McLean County Board
From: Samantha Herrell, Assistant Director of Behavioral Health Coordination
Re: Request approval of updated contract with ISU for the 9th Annual Behavioral Health Forum.
The Department of Behavioral Health Coordination is requesting approval of an updated contract
with Illinois State University. ISU is the chosen venue for the forum for 2026.
ISU increased their pricing for rental space and equipment at the start of their new fiscal year, July
1st. We were aware of this incoming increase.
The original contract approved by County Board in January 2026, totaling $13,141.68 did reflect a
projected estimated 5% increase to prepare for this update. The new contract is $13,450.37, making
it an increase in cost of $308.69 for the venue and rental equipment. No other notable changes.
No other changes were made.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
July 6, 2026
To: The Honorable Members of the Executive Committee of the McLean County Board
From: Kelley Amigoni, Director of Behavioral Health Coordination
Re: Implementation of Strategic Stewardship and Enhanced Engagement Framework
The purpose of this memo is to provide an update on the newly implemented Strategic Steward Process for
grants. This framework has been designed to strengthen oversight, optimize data collection, and enhance the
overall experience for organizations receiving funding.
Key components of the framework are monthly progress reporting and targeted 1:1 introductory advisory
sessions (with subsequent sessions as needed). The information in this report has been provided by
organizations in their monthly status updates and 1:1 check-ins. Financial information is based on invoiced
totals through the end of June 2026.
This dashboard ensures real-time tracking of fund utilization, allows for early detection of project roadblocks,
and ensures rigorous financial accountability.
Thank you for your consideration.

To the residents of McLean County:
For the eighth consecutive year, I am pleased to present McLean County’s Popular Annual Financial Report
(PAFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, prepared by the Auditor’s Office. This report provides
a summary of the County’s revenue, spending, and financial condition. The report also includes supplementary information on local economic conditions, major accomplishments by the County government,
and other reference information for your usage in contacting your Board Members or individual County
departments. My goal in producing this report is to communicate the County’s financial operations in a
straightforward and easy-to-read format so that you may obtain a better understanding of McLean County
government.
The information in this report is derived from McLean County’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
(ACFR) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which was audited and received an unmodified
(clean) opinion. The CAFR is a highly detailed financial report that is prepared in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). McLean County has received GFOA’s Certificate of Achievement in
Financial Reporting for the CAFR for 40 consecutive years. The financial schedules presented in the PAFR
have been summarized and combined from assorted financial statements in the CAFR. The PAFR omits the
financial statements on discretely presented component units and fiduciary funds, which are included in
the ACFR. Anyone who is interested in reading the December 31, 2025 ACFR can find the report under the
Financial Reports link on the County Auditor’s website at www.mcleancountyil.gov/auditor. Copies of prior year CAFRs, PAFR, and Quarterly Financial Reports are also available through the link.
REPORT SUMMARY
This report is for your use in understanding the operations of McLean County government and is not intended to replace the CAFR. It is simply a means of increasing public confidence in the County government. It is an honor to serve as your Auditor and I encourage questions, concerns, or feedback as to the
contents of this report or the operations of my office. Feel free to contact me at my office—309.888.5150,
by e-mail [email protected], or by stopping in at my office in the Government Center—Room M102-A.
Respectfully submitted,
Michelle L. Anderson
McLean County Auditor

Profile of McLean County, Illinois

McLean County is located in central Illinois, situated very near the geographical center of the State of Illinois. In area, McLean County is the largest County in the State, comprising just over 1,100 square miles,
making it similar in size to the State of Rhode Island in total land. McLean County recorded a population of
171,141, making it one of the largest 15 counties in Illinois (out of 102). McLean County’s highest concentration of population are the twin cities of Bloomington-Normal, with Bloomington serving as the County
seat. McLean County was established on December 25, 1830, and was named in honor of John McLean, a
twice elected United States Senator from Illinois. Before being established, it was part of Tazewell County.

The County operates under the County Board form of government according to the mandates of the State
of Illinois, in addition to the eight independently elected County officials. The Board is comprised of a 20member board, two representatives being elected from each of ten districts, and serving four-year terms.
The Board is both the legislative policy maker and the supervisor of County Administration. The County
Administrator is the chief administrative officer and prepares and recommends the annual budget, implements policies and procedures, manages daily operations, and oversees appointed departmental directors.
The eight independently elected County officials are the Auditor, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Coroner, County
Clerk/Recorder, Sheriff, State’s Attorney, Regional Superintendent of Education, and Treasurer. The Regional Superintendent of Education is a component unit of the State of Illinois, as such, their financial information is not presented in this report. Elected officials serve four year terms.
The County provides a full range of services. This includes administration of justice and public safety, including the operation of a 455 bed adult detention facility and 26 bed juvenile detention facility, construction and maintenance of 368 miles of County roads and 87 bridges, administration of public health services
and programs, operation of a 150 bed Nursing Home, operation of a 2,200 acre recreation area, collection
of taxes for over 200 taxing districts, administration of elections, and general administrative services. For
additional information about County departments
and the vital services that the County provides for
its citizens and businesses, visit the County’s website at http://www.mcleancountyil.gov. McLean
County operates with over 800 full-time equivalent
employees, with over half of those being employed
within a public safety function. McLean County’s
assessed value of taxable property was
$6,584,612,751 for 2025.

Property Taxes—Where do your property taxes go?

Where do your property taxes go? While the County issues property tax bills each year and is responsible
for collecting the payments, only a small portion is retained by the County. The vast majority of property
taxes are remitted to other governmental agencies within McLean County. There are over 200 taxing districts located, at least partially, within McLean County. Depending on the location of a real estate parcel,
property taxes for that parcel will be collected for a combination of separate taxing districts.
The following is a chart that presents the breakout by governmental type for a typical tax bill. The chart is
for illustrative purposes only, based on an average of all tax bills in McLean County. As noted above, each
real estate parcel pays property taxes to a varying combination of taxing districts, based on location, and
the actual breakout will vary.

Property Taxes—Breakout by Governmental Type

As shown in the chart above, the largest component of a typical tax bill goes to school districts and community colleges.
This PAFR presents an overview of McLean County’s finances only. The other governmental districts shown
above are separate legal entities and operate independent of McLean County. Therefore, in order to determine how your property taxes are spent by each district that you pay taxes to, you would need to separately
review financial reports for each district.

Revenues—Where does the Money Come From?
McLean County receives its funding from a variety of sources, with intergovernmental revenue

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

McLean County Board
McLean County, Illinois
Bloomington, Illinois
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of McLean County, Illinois, (the County) as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the County's basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
July 1, 2026. Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of
the Public Building Commission, as described in our report on the County's financial statements. This
report does not include the results of other auditors' testing on internal control over financial reporting or
compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors. The financial
statements of the Public Building Commission were not audited in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the County's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's internal
control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.

McLean County Board
McLean County, Illinois

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County's financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH
MAJOR FEDERAL PROGRAM, REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE, AND REPORT ON THE SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF
FEDERAL AWARDS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE

McLean County Board
McLean County, Illinois
Bloomington, Illinois
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited McLean County, Illinois's (the County) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the 0MB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct
and material effect on each of the County's major federal programs for the year ended December 31,
2025. The County's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of
the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements referred
to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year
ended December 31, 2025.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements
of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under
those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the
Audit of Compliance section of our report.

We are required to be independent of the County and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the County's compliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of
laws, statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the
County's federal programs.
CLAglobal.com/disclaimer

McLean County Board
McLean County, Illinois

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on the County's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect
material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from
fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually
or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on
compliance about the County's compliance with the requirements of each major federal program as a
whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
•

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•

Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the County's compliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.

•

Obtain an understanding of the County's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and
report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the County's internal control over
compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement
of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant
deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less
severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.

Page 59 of 169

McLean County Board
McLean County, Illinois

Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of
the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.
Report on Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by the Uniform Guidance
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the County as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the County's basic financial statements. We have
issued our report thereon dated July 1, 2026, which contained unmodified opinions on those financial
statements. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements
that collectively comprise the basic financial statements. The accompanying schedule of expenditures
of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the Uniform Guidance
and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

NOTE 1

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) includes the
federal award activity of McLean County, Illinois (the County) and its discretely presented
component unit, the Emergency Telephone Systems Board, under programs of the federal
government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information in this Schedule is
presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). The County financial reporting entity, as defined in
Note 1 to the basic financial statements, consists of the activities of the County and its'
discretely presented component units. Because the Schedule presents only a selected
portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the
financial position or changes in net position of the County.

NOTE 2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual or modified accrual
basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles
contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable
or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent
adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as
expenditures in prior years. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where
available.
The underlying accounting records for some grant programs are maintained on the modified
accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis, revenues are recorded when
susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. Available means collectible
within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
period. Expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred. The accounting records for
other grant programs are maintained on the accrual basis, i.e., when the revenue has been
earned and the liability is incurred.

NOTE 3

The attached ordinance authorizes the transfer of budgeted funds from the Salary and Benefits
line to the Contractual Services line item within the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.
The approved budget included funding for a risk management position. Following a review of
operational needs and available service options, staff have determined that risk management
responsibilities can be more effectively provided through a contracted professional service rather
than by filling the vacant position. This approach will provide the County with access to
specialized expertise while maintaining continuity in the administration of risk management
functions.
Because the position has remained vacant, sufficient funds are available within the Salary line to
support the contractual costs. The proposed transfer reallocates existing appropriations and does
not increase the overall departmental budget or require additional funding.
Approval of the ordinance will allow the County to engage contracted risk management services
and ensure continued oversight of insurance, claims administration, safety initiatives, loss
prevention efforts, and related risk management activities.

MEMORANDUM

To:

Honorable Chair Laymon and Members of the Finance Committee

From: Cassy Taylor, County Administrator
Re:

Ordinance to Transfer funds from Insurance Program to Jail Medical Services

The attached ordinance authorizes the transfer of funds from the Tort Judgment/Insurance program
budget to the Tort Judgment/Jail Medical program budget for the current fiscal year. This request
is budget neutral.
During the year, the County realized savings in insurance premium expenditures, resulting in
available appropriations within the Insurance Program budget. At the same time, Jail Medical
Services has experienced higher-than-anticipated costs related to medical services.
The proposed budget transfer will utilize available funds from the Insurance Program to address
anticipated shortfalls in Jail Medical Services. The transfer will not adversely affect the County's
insurance coverage or the operation of the Insurance Program and will ensure that adequate
funding is available to provide required medical care to inmates housed in the County Jail.
Approval of this ordinance will allow the County to maintain compliance with its obligation to
provide necessary medical services while making effective use of budgetary savings realized
elsewhere in the budget.

RE:

Loan from County to the Village of Hudson

The Village of Hudson is facing a financial dilemma due to an administrative error which occurred
in the Office of the County Clerk during the property tax calculation and extension process for taxyear 2025. As a result of said administrative error, the Village’s 2025 tax levy was erroneously
extended against 612 parcels that exist outside the Village. The total amount of the Village’s 2025
tax levy extended against those 612 improper parcels equals $81,560.04—meaning that the taxable
property within the Village was undertaxed by that amount. The owners of taxable property within
the Village now collectively owe arrearages in that amount.
The $81,560.04 in arrearages will not be collected until 2027, at the same time that tax-year 2026
taxes are collected. The Village represents that the outstanding $81,560.04 equates to
approximately 10% of its annual budget. Therefore, the County is considering providing the
Village with a short-term no-interest loan of $81,560.04. If approved, the $81,560.04 in arrearages
will be intercepted and retained by the County in 2027 in satisfaction of the debt.
The following is a proposed intergovernmental agreement between the County and the Village
which would provide for the short-term loan under consideration.

Thank you,

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
FOR TEMPORARY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
This intergovernmental agreement is entered into by the COUNTY OF MCLEAN (“County”)
and the VILLAGE OF HUDSON (“Village”) on the date set forth below.
WHEREAS, in 2025, the Village, a municipality located within McLean County, Illinois, filed
with the McLean County Clerk’s Office an ordinance which provided for a 2025 tax levy to be
extended against all taxable property within the Village, payable in 2026; and
WHEREAS, due to an administrative error which occurred during the tax-year 2025 tax extension
process, the McLean County Clerk’s Office extended the Village’s tax levy against an additional
612 parcels outside of the Village; and
WHEREAS, the total amount of the Village’s tax levy extended against those 612 additional
parcels comes to $81,560.04; and
WHEREAS, the inclusion of those additional 612 parcels in the tax extension caused the Village’s
tax levy to be underextended against the taxable property within the Village; and
WHEREAS, the owners of the taxable property within the Village now collectively owe
arrearages of taxes in the total amount of $81,560.04 (the “Tax Arrearages”); and
WHEREAS, section 14-41 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/14-41) provides a remedy for
instances such as this, whereby the County Collector shall send a notice that arrearages of taxes
are owed by the affected taxpayers and, provided said notice is sent on or before October 1 of that
year, the arrearages of taxes may be added as a separate line to the tax bills for the following year;
and
WHEREAS, because the arrearages of taxes cannot be collected until 2027, the Village will
temporarily be without $81,560.04 in budgeted revenue;
WHEREAS, the County and the Village are units of local government and are therefore authorized
and encouraged to cooperate with each other to obtain or share services and to exercise, combine,
or transfer any power or function, in any manner not prohibited by law, including their use of
credit, revenues, and other resources to pay costs and to service debt related to intergovernmental
activities, pursuant to Section 10 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution of 1970 and the Illinois
Intergovernmental Cooperation Act (5 ILCS 220/1 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the County and the Village have determined that it is in the best interests of the
citizens of their shared community that the Village have sufficient funds to operate in accordance
with its budget; and
WHEREAS, the County and the Village wish to enter into an intergovernmental agreement
providing for a loan of $81,560.04 from the County to the Village.

The EECBG award was originally received in 2024 and funded two primary initiatives: the
comprehensive LED lighting retrofit at the Health Department Building and the development of a
Community Energy Strategic Plan (CESP). The LED retrofit project has been completed, while the
CESP is currently being finalized by the Ecology Action Center (EAC).
In April 2026, the County and EAC were informed by IEPA that adoption of the completed CESP is
anticipated as part of the grant requirements and should occur prior to the conclusion of the grant
period. To accommodate completion of the plan, the local adoption process, and any remaining
eligible project activities, EAC requested an extension of the grant period.
On June 1, 2026, IEPA formally notified the County that the extension request had been approved.
The approved extension will revise the project completion date from June 30, 2026, to September
30, 2026, allowing additional time for completion and adoption of the CESP. The grant
amendment does not increase the grant award amount or require additional County funding.

MEMORANDUM
To: McLean County Board
From: Amy Hopper, Behavioral Health Program Manager, McLean County Health Department
Date: July 2026
Subject: Change Order Request – Chestnut Health Systems Opioid Use Prevention and
Community Support Program

This memorandum requests approval of a Change Order for the Chestnut Health Systems –
Opioid Use Prevention and Community Support program, funded at $110,000.
This program supports McLean County’s opioid overdose prevention efforts through community
education, naloxone distribution, trauma-informed trainings, rural outreach, and coordination
with local prevention coalitions. The program also strengthens primary prevention messaging
and expands access to overdose prevention and treatment resources across the county.
Chestnut Health Systems is requesting a budget revision to reallocate funds from contractual
and training/education categories to telecommunications and benefits to better support
program staffing and operations. The agency is also updating its fringe benefit rate from 26% to
30% effective July 2026, along with minor updates to travel and contractual budget narratives to
reflect current reimbursement rates and inclusion of website-related costs supporting
prevention education.
These adjustments align budget categories with current program needs while maintaining
alignment with the approved scope of services.

Request for Budget Revision
Please use this form for any non-discretionary line-item transfer requests related to the
following:
1. Moving funds to a category not previously approved.
2. Transfers exceeding 11% of the allowable variance.
Note: Transfers to Indirect Administrative Costs must not exceed the 15% cap of the total
approved budget.
Please complete the information below along with the accompanying budget
revision Excel worksheet.
Name of Agency and Program:
Chestnut Health Systems
Person Making the Request:
Nadia Klekamp
Date of Request:
June 23, 2026
Reason for Budget Revision:
• Please provide a detailed explanation of the reason(s) for this budget revision.
• How will this revision positively impact the program and its objectives?
Please complete the attached Budget Revision Excel worksheet.
We are requesting approval for a budget revision to reallocate a portion of funds originally
designated for contractual, training & ed to the telecommunications and benefits category.
Redirecting these funds will help ensure that our primary staff trainer for opioid education
has reliable access to a work phone to support program delivery and communication. Our
agency’s benefits rate is increasing from 26% to 30% starting July 2026.
We are updating the budget narrative for the travel category to reflect the update rate
change of mileage reimbursement from $0.655 to $0.725 per mile.
In addition, we are updating the budget narrative for the contractual category to include
website hosting and domain costs. The website provides in-depth parent and community
education resources that support primary prevention and help prevent opioid-related
overdoses. These revisions will strengthen program implementation and expand access to
prevention resources while remaining fully aligned with our project goals and approved
scope of work.
