COMMITTEE BUSINESS
⮚ Alliant Mid Year Review – Moved to the end of Committee Business.
⮚ Discussion of Publishing Meeting Recordings for Committees to County Website– Mr. Koeppel indicated that this is an item that would be a policy decision of the Board. Currently only Board Meeting recordings get posted on the website. Member Prochaska noted that he preferred all the additional transparency items be posted on the website first before staff tackles this item. Member Gengler agreed, he also asked about amending the Policy. There was consensus from the Committee wait until other updates are done to make this decision.
⮚ Discussion to Purchase Operating System Deployment Software not to exceed $15,495 – Mr. Kinsey explained that this is an additional unbudgeted cost needed to supplement the existing system as the County has had many employees working remotely. Member Gilmour asked how many employees are working from home. Mr. Kinsey explained that at the peak of the pandemic just over 100. Currently around 45. Mr. Koeppel explained while there was no guarantee of reimbursement from the CURES Funding from the State due to the pandemic but there is a strong possibility. There was consensus from the Committee to send this item to Finance because it is an unbudgeted expense.
⮚ Alliant Mid-Year Review – Dan Mackey and Dane Mall from Alliant explained that market trends are increasing however with the County not having many Worker’s Comp or Property and Liability claims due to the pandemic and other safety factors. ICRMT is giving the County a $50,000 credit if renewal is done with ICRMT. As of now Alliant is projecting a 5% increase in premiums. Ms. Johnson has submitted the renewal documents and an exact number will be available at the end of October. Another factor is that the Forest Preserve has gone on it’s own so that may positively impact the County’s renewal.
