Cook County Board Creates Loan Program for Municipalities

8/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Cook County Board of Commissioners - Committee and Board Meetings
​July 27, 28, 2022


Finance Committee   July 27, 2022
  • The Commissioners recommended for approval an  ordinance  that authorizes the County to give loans to local government entities that are impacted by the expected late property tax bill issuance and collection.   The plan would set aside up to $ 500 million, but initially $300 million will be distributed.    The loans would go to municipalities that have credit ratings less than the County’s and would have difficulty going to the public for credit.  It would be for 0% rate.  It will cost the County $5 million.   The Commissioners had met previously with members of the Finance group and so there was little discussion.  (Item 22-3521)   The ordinance was approved in the Board Meeting.
  • Commissioner Suffredin moved to defer the proposed Elected Official Compensation Review Ordinance. This would require periodic review of the compensation of elected officials.  The Commissioners are waiting on a fiscal note from the Department of Finance.  The League of Women Voters of Cook County  (LWVCC) supported this ordinance, and their letter was entered into the record.  (Item 22-3931)  

Health and Hospitals Committee  July 27, 2022
  • The monthly report on the status of COVID was deferred.  The Commissioners asked for an update on Monkeypox as well as COVID. Mr. Rocha, Cook County Health (CCH) CEO said that 70% of the current COVID cases are the new sub-variants BA4 and BA5.  The CCH is recommending that everyone gets the booster shots and wear masks when in close contact of others.  There are 5 community centers in suburban Cook County where residents can get vaccines or treatment.  Over 1 million vaccinations have been given.  Vaccination rates for children are low, for children under 5 less than 15%.   Parents are reluctant to have their child vaccinated.  ( Item 21-0541)  
  • The Commissioners asked for an update on Monkeypox as some of them have gotten reports of residents not being able to get vaccinations.  Dr. Hasberg reported that it is now called MPV.   The CCH is following the CDC’s recommendations. The CCH has launched an education campaign to health providers and have updated their website with information.  They are doing testing and providing vaccinations.  They are also doing contact tracing. There have been 19 confirmed cases in Cook County.  People who have had close contact with a confirmed case can get vaccinated now.   150 have been given.  They have just started vaccinating people in high- risk groups, but who did not have  known contact.   They anticipate getting more vaccinations in the fall and then will ramp up the vaccinations to that demographic.  At the Board meeting a resolution was approved to have a meeting with CCH specifically on MPV. (Item 22-4699)
  • The Commissioners approved the quarterly report from CCH.  Dr. Ruben reported on the contact tracing program for Covid.    In order to reach communities that had low vaccination rates and reluctance to participate in contact tracing, the CCH developed a network of community- based organizations to engage people.     They anticipate that they will use the same network in their efforts for equity, trying to encourage residents to use medical resources for chronic diseases. (Item 22-1354)
  • The semi- annual report on healthcare disparities was received and filed.  Mr. Rocha outlined CCH’s plan to reduce healthcare disparities in minority areas.  He cited the primary issues of poverty and lack of health insurance in the South and Near West side communities.  They have awarded grants to community groups to work on such issues as worker protections, lead poison prevention, connecting people to resources, and improved public transportation.  The other major issue they want to investigate is why some people don’t utilize the medical system even when it is easily accessible. (Item 22-3674)
  • Commissioner Miller asked that going forward, she would like to see specific data for outcomes for minorities in the 11 strategic communities cited in the 2025 Strategic Plan.  She also wanted to see data for minorities that do not live in underserved communities. 

Cook County Board of Commissioners Meeting July 28, 2022
  • Several Commissioners spoke in support of the resolution for the Cook County Board to call on the Illinois General Assembly and U.S. Congress to prohibit the sale of assault style weapons.  The resolution was approved.  (Item22-4305)
  • The proposed County Commissioner vacancy in office ordinance amendments were referred to the Legislation Committee. This provides that a vacancy should be filled by appointment by a political committee unless the vacancy is for more than 28 months and then it should be filled at the next general election.   LWVCC is in support of this amendment.  (Items 22-4661, 22-4662)
  • The resolution to hold a hearing on the risks of data sharing with ICE was approved.  The object is to determine if County government data regarding residents is available to private data brokers. The Committee will also discuss the best practices for protecting the rights of all Cook County residents. (Item 22-2815)
  • Several collective bargaining agreements with Cook County employees were approved.  During the public speakers’ time, nurses from the CCH system spoke in favor of approval.  
  • Several more ARPA grants were awarded including funds for the Forest Preserve.

Cook County Commissioners Urge Stakeholder Unity not Finger Pointing to Deal with August Tax Bill Delay

4/27/2022

Cook County Commissioners Finance And Technology Committees
Joint Meeting on April 25, 2022


The special meeting was held at the urging of Commissioner Sean Morrison to bring the key stakeholders together to get their commitment to work together on getting the 2nd installment tax bills out no later than mid-November 2022.  Key were the chair of the Board of Review, the Chief of Staff of the Assessor’s Office, and the Chief Information Office, Bureau of Technology (BOT).  The County Clerk’s Chief of Staff and Treasurer also provided comments.

Board of Review (BOR):  Chair Larry Rogers stated he just received two days ago the remaining 70% of the required assessment information that his office needs to begin the appeal process for the 2021 assessments; that it will take his office 4-5 months at the earliest to process the appeals and get the information to the Clerk’s office to calculate the tax bill; which then goes to the Treasurer for printing, mailing, and collection.  Mr. Rogers stated that his office ran largely by paper until 2015 when it converted to a digital appeal processing system [not the Tyler Platform].  He emphasized that he ran a parallel paper system to work out problems before relying solely on the digital platform. The BOR is not on the new Tyler System. 

Assessor's Office (OA):  The Chief of Staff, Sarah Resnick, who stated that she takes full responsibility for steering the input of property assessment data to the new Tyler Platform, stopped the parallel input of underlying data such as square footage to the decades old Mainframe Platform in July of 2021 after finding that the transfer of detailed data was almost impossible between the systems causing many errors and re-inputs.  The Mainframe is the platform that the Board of Review has used for decades to obtain the needed information from the Assessor. The Chief of Staff contacted the BOR and the BOT to ask that they all work together to find a solution.  A successful interface was developed, but it is the reason for the delay; and it was done without the BOR. In the meantime, the underlying information was already on the Tyler system; and the interface was offered to the BOR in September of 2021.  However, it would require training of BOR technicians by the Assessor’s office; and the BOR declined, saying it has to be independent of the Assessor’s office. 

Bureau of Technology (BOT):  Tom Lynch was questioned as to his recommendation to run a parallel system between the new Tyler and the old Mainframe.  He said he did make the recommendation.  When asked if it was impossible to input the underlying data from Tyler to the Mainframe, he said it would be very difficult but not impossible.  He also stated that the BOR was not included in the transition to the Tyler Platform as were all the other Stakeholders because the BOR used a 2015 Platform that was modern.  He noted that not all systems can be replaced at the same time and that the best practice is to stagger rollouts.  He said the “legacy system” which is the mainframe has to be retired.  He also said that the interface is working.

Suggestions by Comm. Sean Morrison include: Increase Overtime; increase hearing staff; use retired staff on a contract basis; determine if an estimated tax bill for 2nd installment is possible. The Clerk’s Chief of Staff said that this is not a likely legal option but that he would investigate further.

Comm. Daley:  Asked Mr. Rogers if the vast majority of bills can go out and the remaining that have been appealed go out later.  Answer: No.  The BOR needs one finite set of data. He did state that it is a good idea to bring former employees back under contract.  However, with more help and more overtime, he does not believe that the five month delay in receiving the data can be made up. Daley also asked the Clerk’s chief of staff to contact the Finance Chief to see what can done to provide loans to small municipal taxing bodies if they are unable to get a bank loan.

Comm. Degnan:  Encouraged BOR to get off the legacy mainframe platform so that the current issue doesn’t perpetuate.

Comm. Lowry: Asked if all three Stakeholders agreed that the 2nd installment tax bills can be out in mid-November.  Answer:  Yes, it is possible; but no guarantee.  The Assessor’s office also stated that if it can get the information back from BOR in time, it can then meet the 2023 deadlines.

Comm. Britton: Asked if township assessors and assistant assessors could be trained to help the BOD process appeals.  Answer:  Would need the same system training as a new hire.

Several other Commissioners also commented or asked questions, all of which were duplicates of what is covered above.

​There were six Public Speakers Representing the Following Organizations: 
The Chicago Chamber of Commerce      Illinois Realtors local Government Affairs Office 
Western Spring’s Park District                Palos Fire Protection Force,
Scofield Fire Department                        Building Owners and Managers Association  
All were concerned about the delay in mailing the 2021 2nd Installment Tax Bills and its effect on their constituents and vulnerable Cook County homeowners.

Cook County Board Recognizes 100th Anniversary of LWV and Proposes 3% Retail Tax on Cannabis Sales

1/20/2020

Cook County Board of Commissioners
Committee and Consent Agenda Meetings

January 15, 2020


During the Consent Agenda Meeting the Board honored the League of Women Voters in recognition of its 100th anniversary on February 14, 2020.  President Preckwinkle and Commissioners noted the many suggestions from the League over the years to improve the operations and transparency of the government, as well as the presence of League observers at most Cook County Board and Committee meetings.

The following actions by the Committees are subject to Board approval at the January 16 Board meeting:
  • With the advent of legal sales and possession of cannabis in Illinois as of January 1, 
    • The Finance Committee passed a 3% retailer’s sales tax on gross receipts of sales of recreational cannabis.  Sales of cannabis for medicinal purposes are excluded.  Tax (which is on top of the normal sales tax) to be effective July 1, 2020.  Commissioner Suffredin noted that, based on the experience in other states that have legalized cannabis, the County can expect an increase in emergency room visits and in having to deal with more driving while under the influence cases, adding costs to the County’s health and public safety functions.  Thus, the 3% tax is more than justified.  Because the State collects the tax and then remits to the County, the County does not expect to receive any revenues until September or October.  Item 20-0658.
    • The Legislation and Intergovernmental Relations Committee passed a proposal to create a Cook County Cannabis Commission to analyze the impact of recreational and medicinal cannabis industries within unincorporated Cook County.  Commissioner Lowry will be the chair.  Item 20-0763.
  • The Health & Hospitals Committee passed a resolution for: 
    • (1) the Chair of the Independent Cook County Health (CCH) Board to meet with the Cook County President and Board to solicit input regarding the responsibilities, background, and attributes to consider with respect to recruiting and appointing a new CCH Chief Executive Officer, which will be done at a public meeting in the Board room within 30 days; 
    • (2) the Cook County Board to have “listening sessions” at several locations around the County so that the public can provide input; 
    • (3) the Cook County Auditor, with the assistance from professional auditing firms experienced in health care, to conduct a management audit of CCH; and
    • (4) such audit to be completed by July 1, 2020, so that its recommendations can be considered for the 2021 budget.  Item 20-0789.
  • The Business and Economic Development Committee passed a Substitute Amendment to the Real Estate Tax Incentive Program to waive the relatively new requirement that business receiving the incentive file annual affidavits of compliance.  Previously, the requirement was that such affidavits be filed every 3 years.  With the change, there had been a marked decrease in new businesses seeking the incentive.  The waiver is in place until 2022.  Several people spoke in support during public comments.  Item 20-0768.
  • This Committee also passed a resolution supporting a review of the small business and entrepreneur ecosystem in Cook County by an independent expert.  Item 20-0678

Cook County Board Business Conducted At Lightening Speed After  2 Hour Retirement Ceremony

12/20/2019

Cook County Board of Commissioners Meeting
December 19, 2019


The Board devoted the first 2 hours of their meeting to the honoring of retiring employee Martha Martinez, former Commissioner Jerry Butler, and the late Reverend Clay Evans. Testimonials lauded Martinez for thirty-four years of exemplary service.  Former Commissioner Jerry Butler received a touching tribute from the Board. HIs career as a popular vocal artist and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was noted. Commissioner Butler sang one of his hits, “Let It Be Me” to the delight of all present. The late Reverend Clay Evans was honored as an icon of the black community and for his work on civil rights with Dr. Martin Luther King.

Action Items:
  • Agenda Item 20-0016- The proposed amendment to the Inspector General ordinance regarding reports and public statements was referred to the legislative committee. It requires that the IG share a statement with the head of the affected department and not issue a public statement for ten days. If the department has a response, this must be attached to the public statement. The Civic Federation supported  this amendment during the public comment period.
  • Agenda Item 20-0735- The Board unanimously passed a resolution supporting federal universal background checks for firearms. It is hoped that this will add pressure for passage of gun control legislation in Washington.
  • Agenda Item 20-0721- The Board unanimously passed a resolution to support refugee resettlement efforts in Cook County. Several agencies testified to the challenge of working under current punitive federal policy.
  • Agenda Item 20-0437- Approved an intergovernmental agreement between the pension fund and Cook County. In 2016 the pension was 54% funded. $306.2 million will be contributed for 2020. This infusion of funds has now raised the percentage funded to 68%, one of the highest in the state.
  • Agenda Item 20-0732 - Changes in committee chairmanships were approved. These new assignments will give greater responsibility to the newer members of the Board.
  • Agenda Item 20-0658 - Proposed tax on cannabis was referred to the finance committee.
  • Agenda Item 20-1831- Board approved a commission chaired by Britton to create a new design for the county flag. The deadline is 2021 when the county celebrates its 190th anniversary. High school students will be asked to submit designs in a competition.
  • Agenda Item 20-0726 - Board approved a resolution to support Cook County Health’s construction of a new Provident Hospital. It also provides for the Cook County Board Health & Hospital Committee to hold a hearing to receive an update on the project.
  • Agenda Item 20-0712 - Board approved a resolution to discuss the Cook County Health Formulary Program. The resolution describes how insurance companies use “step therapy” in an effort to control drug costs. Step therapy is when patients first try the less costly drugs to see if they work. This can delay patients getting the treatment they need.
  • Agenda Item 20-0011 - Proposed ordinance regarding zoning for recreational cannabis was referred to committee.
  • Agenda Item 20-0579- Board approved authority for Public Defender to accept $500,000 grant to aid data analytics.

Commissioners Daley, Deer, Suffredin, Arroyo, Sylvestri, Gainer and Moore thanked Dr. Shannon (CCH) for his service to Cook County Health. Dr. Shannon was present and acknowledged their kind words.

No Expected New Taxes or Fees Projected for 2020 Cook County Budget

7/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Mid-Year Budget Hearings of the Finance Committee of the Cook County Board
July 17 and 24, 2019


Over these 2 days, the Finance Committee (composed of all 17 members of the Board and chaired by John Daley) met with each elected official, bureau chief and major department head to go over the expected revenues and expenses at the end of the 2019 budget year (Nov. 30, 2019), and what was expected for 2020.  

Highlights from these meetings:


Overall:  It is expected that the County will end this fiscal year in the black, and no new taxes or fees will be needed to balance the budget for the upcoming 2020 fiscal year.
  • Projections are that the General Fund will have a $14.9 million net favorable.  Currently, there is a projected deficit of $103 million in the Health Fund; however, Cook County Health has a plan to eliminate that deficit by the end of this fiscal year. 
  • Looking to the 2020 fiscal year, the current projections of revenues and expenses would result in a gap of $11.9 million for the General Fund and $6.8 million for the Health Fund, or a $18.7 million deficit.  Very small compared to past years.
  • Over the next several months, the Budget Department will be working with all areas to eliminate that deficit and produce a balanced budget from the President, as required by law.

 Cook County Health (CCH):  
  • Commissioners had many questions for CCH representatives.  Message was that CCH needs to do a much better job of providing information to Commissioners, who stated that they want to help CCH, but cannot do so without accurate information.  A separate hearing is being held on July 25 with CCH representatives, and they were told to provide clear and accurate information.
  • Plan to eliminate 2019 projected deficit of $103 million involves receiving funds from Medicaid to provide graduate training ($77.3 million in revenues) and not filling some positions ($26 million in reduced expenses).
  • CCH providing health services for more uninsured patients than in past several years; about 45% of the patients; Medicaid enrollment down across Cook County; State has been slow to process applications, but seeing an uptick.
  • Long-standing issue of CCH not getting full reimbursements from insurance companies for those patients who are insured continues; continuing issue of not coding properly.  More and better information wanted by Commissioners.
  • Commissioner Moore had questions about providers of County Care (the Medicaid HMO run by CCH) not being paid because those providers not coding properly according to CCH.

Chief Judge:  Asked to respond to Chicago Supt. of Police’s claim that too many people are being arrested for violent crimes and being released on electronic monitoring, Chief Judge Timothy Evans provided these statistics:
  • In the 15 months since judges began using the new assessment tool:
  • 37,233 people have come before the court
  • 30,466 have been released
  • only 70 have been subsequently accused of violating the order of release (less than .2%)


Sheriff:  Questions raised as to why, with significant reduction in daily jail population (from 11,000/d a few years ago to 5,600 to 5,900/d now) there hasn’t been more cost reductions in Sheriff’s budget for the jail. 

State’s Attorney:  
  • SA Kimberly Fox stressed that office using data to make decisions on staffing and prioritizing work.  Top priority are cases involving violent crimes, which are up 1% this year.  Convictions for crimes involving guns up 9% this year.
  • Now available on www.cookcountystatesattorney.org/dashboard is information regarding number of felony cases initiated, disposed of, and sentencing results, which you can get by year and by Commissioner district, along with other information.  This is updated every day.
  • Highest number of potential felony crimes by far is retail theft.  Largely because threshold for felony is $300 in Illinois, much lower than surrounding states.  To keep focus and resources on violent crimes, most of these lower value retail theft cases are instead being dealt with as misdemeanors.
  • SA Fox said that 770,000 prior convictions in Illinois for cannabis usage may be eligible for expungement under new law; 72% of these in Cook County.  Not sure how to staff to take care of this.


Public Defender:  While will not exceed budget for 2019, PD Amy Campanelli said that will be pushing for more money than President’s Office wants for 2020, in part to start an immigration unit with 4 new staff members.  These would represent those charged with crimes (whom they are representing anyway in State courts in Cook County) at Federal immigration detention hearings.  Cites statistic that have a 90% chance of no detention if have a lawyer and 90% chance of detention if do not.  Would not work past detention hearing, but leave to pro bono immigration attorneys to handle the rest of Federal cases.

County Clerk (elections):
  • More registered voters in Cook County than ever before.
  • New voting equipment tried in 3 townships in April local elections was very well received.  Will be used throughout suburban Cook County in 2020 primary and general elections.
  • Assured Commissioners that confident that election security in place.
  • In change from past practice, Clerk’s office will not allow people on ballot who do not have the requisite number of petition signatures.  Previously, allowed people on ballot unless someone successfully challenged.

County Clerk and Recorder merger in December 2020:
  • Working groups formed to deal with various issues that have to be addressed.
  • After merger, Clerk expects to be able to provide recorder services at 2 satellite locations closed by utilizing existing Clerk’s personnel through cross-training.
  • Both Clerk and Recorder said they understood the need for Recorder’s office to come into substantial compliance under Shakman cases prior to merger.
