Approval of the Revised Audit from Janet Brown, CPA
Mayor Kernc stated it was her understanding we only reported the monies we paid into the projects from the grants, not the monies which went from the federal government directly to IDOT. Based on that criteria, we did not need to complete a single audit. Kernc stated upon submitting information to GATA, the submission was rejected. Kernc then contacted State personnel and was informed the Village must also report the money that IDOT pays directly to the contractor. Any amount over $750,000.00 requires a single audit. Therefore, we immediately pulled our audit and contacted Janet Brown to complete a single audit for the Village. Janet Brown is currently working on the revision which will add approximately 7 additional pages to the original audit. Once the revision is complete, it will be placed on the agenda for discussion and approval. This item is passed until revised audit is completed.
Discuss and Approve Employee Sick Benefits and IMRF Sick Benefits for Village Employees
Village Clerk Lori Holmes explained the current sick policy and explained for those employees accumulating additional sick days beyond what the current policy reads, employees have the ability to transfer unused sick days to IMRF to accrue service time. Commissioner Denise Brown explained the plan. After discussion, decision was made for Village Attorney John Gallo to speak with the IMRF representative for additional details of the plan to assure there is no additional cost to the Village if offering this plan to Village employees. This item is passed until more information is obtained.
