Heather, a Peoria County staff member, said the month's report includes rollovers and purchase orders that rolled from prior years into FY25. \"So you'll see that the fiscal 25 budget has increased due to that by about $18,700,000,\" she said.

She noted three line items with negative amounts — storefront doors, the PCAPS HVAC unit, and the highway fleet remodel — explaining those projects were budgeted for FY25 but will likely roll under construction management contracts with Core and PJ Harris, which creates accounting offsets reflected as negative line balances in the report.

Heather also described the FY24 and prior purchase order encumbrance rollovers: some purchase orders remained on contract but were not expended because projects were incomplete or goods were not received by year-end; the ARPA fund showed the largest roll-forward amounts, followed by capital projects. She said the year-end close process ran on March 14 and that Administrator Sorel reviewed and approved the rollovers per county policy adopted previously.

The nut graf: carrying forward appropriations and encumbrances preserves funding for in-progress capital projects but increases the active FY25 budget; several projects will be managed through ongoing construction-management contracts.

Accounts payable and purchase activity were also noted: staff reported about $5.6 million in payments for February 2025 were listed in the packet for committee review; no specific payment questions were raised at the meeting.

No committee resolutions or formal votes were taken on these rollovers; staff presented the information for oversight and asked the committee to raise any questions for follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Peoria County Finance Audit and Legislative Affairs Committee","oneSentenceSummary","Staff told the committee that previously approved rollovers and unexpended purchase orders increased FY25 capital budgets by about $18.7 million; several project line items show negative amounts pending construction-management contracts.","taxTitle","Peoria County, Illinois","taxId",2551,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6108969,"Committee to revisit proposal to transfer half of estimated general fund surplus to Long Term Care Services Fund",175,721000,896000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2765179-2e43b9f916c044e5c16c3421290b8eac&start=721&end=896","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2765179-2e43b9f916c044e5c16c3421290b8eac/thumbnail_721000.jpg","/articles/6108969/Peoria-County/Illinois/Committee-to-revisit-proposal-to-transfer-half-of-estimated-general-fund-surplus-to-Long-Term-Care-Services-Fund","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6108969-bdc4d5ab05183819bf9b00a3a7113854/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184210&Signature=ht3N1rTnbpGjFzkRZ~i1eJ0aDH6AKDGGo7-5PL-a-SBBQQXD-cKYyalEj96vNIRdSp~Njpqyles7FawRFGiAygY4Y0gL36ol1XekMSs2UK-X7TKs-0YE4KkptbtmH7ldsVYcHbP0isVxbLl1ujSReZDiiIeTn7K5aB3VQQk4HT28MrbxWYTrzAVClUreaBjNEpos6-7dbuYxVO1wCAZ1wECNRW83KtTM5I2OpvUSASseUkklnU0tfUn8PlomjXXxb1gOTYP4XutFnIfCfOEh0sKGw-BxrEMBWAqtF221BrV45hWbQhWYFgftDeDKvV4rBYdMRcY4yvUD71Pobx53Yw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Heather, a Peoria County staff member, told the Legislative Affairs Committee the Long Term Care Services Fund balance was about $3,000,000 with interest recorded through November of $47,000. She said a policy adopted in December 2023 would direct the board to transfer 50% of any general fund surplus to the long-term care fund.

Under those assumptions and using the staff estimate of an approximate $1.8 million general fund surplus from the unaudited FY24 close, Heather said a 50% transfer would be about $900,000. She presented two illustrative paths: making the transfer this year and accruing interest, or postponing the transfer and retaining a higher balance until later; she provided a projection that, with the $900,000 transfer and projected interest, the fund balance would grow over time.

The nut graf: the planned transfer is set by county policy and would materially affect the Long Term Care Services Fund balance and debt coverage; the committee asked for fuller figures at the April meeting before making a final decision.

Heather suggested the committee revisit the question in April when more finalized FY24 numbers are available. The chairwoman asked to place the item on the April agenda so members could review updated projections and discuss whether to continue with the 50% transfer policy this year.

No formal vote was taken; the item was scheduled for additional discussion in April.","Heather, a county staffer, presented options tied to a December 2023 policy that would transfer 50% of a general fund surplus to the Long Term Care Services Fund; the committee agreed to place the item on the April agenda for further discussion.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6108974,"Peoria County reports FY24 unaudited year-end, cites PBRT shortfall and $1.8 million preliminary general fund surplus",367,343000,710000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2765179-2e43b9f916c044e5c16c3421290b8eac&start=343&end=710","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2765179-2e43b9f916c044e5c16c3421290b8eac/thumbnail_343000.jpg","/articles/6108974/Peoria-County/Illinois/Peoria-County-reports-FY24-unaudited-year-end-cites-PBRT-shortfall-and-18-million-preliminary-general-fund-surplus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6108974-43a4500895b71deba61d5fd96ce8edea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184211&Signature=c5yyZ0mmiYWRPFFrOqBTIKjJOEu2Ih4cMu5dcOqxS-pg-wo8b0cYiaKJFoLFEQGV~qiwQUpoFPCfk44pwGsHoOY55w5H2AD5LMZaAxHSdSBLnbX42c6xEFd7eSZB4xwp~pl46M4wnCDF3Zcs2ej8mjj9fLYXs7jec02qqvS~K3sI3RWv9~ShBGCPygBfLrE18xP4tB-sciV7-5XrkB9wMn~m9D8SaSZvJ2FKaXG-Leyv-owShH5kEGyZI2O5dKZVauRhB5uZcmvkByDQMWu6VZhyUfV~68rdEnim2fKsjfBmAqzNWrl51BPm8hfjxI3vPrSDwxYXKPvx4-o4qMsQ9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peoria County finance staff presented an unaudited FY24 year-end and an early January 2025 update to the Legislative Affairs Committee, saying total revenues across all county funds were 94.8% of budget and expenditures 74.1%.

Julie, a Peoria County staff member, told the committee the general fund was 98.8% received and 90.3% spent. \"From a high level revenue across all funds, intergovernmental revenue, we have PBRT, which was below budget expectations by 15.5%, which is 7,700,000.0 received across all funds,\" Julie said, citing a state adjustment to correct an error in the PBRT formula. She said the general fund's share of that hit was $957,000 and the total across all funds was about $1.4 million less than planned for FY24.

The nut graf: the shortfall in PBRT and other revenue variances affect near-term budgeting decisions and potential transfers between funds, and staff said they are monitoring revenues that may also be lower in FY25.

Julie outlined other revenue changes the committee should note. She said local use tax has trended downward because of recent legislative changes that change distribution mechanisms, though increased sales tax categories (supplemental and public facility sales taxes) offset some of that decline. \"For FY24, we did have an increase of all these combined categories by 1.1% or $168,000 above what we were expecting,\" she said.

Charges for services varied by office. Julie said a misbudgeted revenue line linked to a program that began in June 2023 produced only $122,000 in FY24 (about 40.4% of budget), and she said the budget has been reduced for FY25. She also said circuit clerk fee revenue fell 13.7% compared with 2023 and 10.4% compared with 2022 after state legislation waived fees for people who qualify for public defender representation. Federal detention revenue, tied to the average daily population of federal inmates, was down by about $267,000.

On the positive side, Julie said county clerk and chargers offices collected about $220,000 more in charges for services, and late property tax receipts recorded in December were $242,000 above expectations (totaling $997,000). She reported that expenditures across all funds were below budget and that personnel expenses across funds were at about 95% of budget (94.8% in the general fund), producing approximately $1.9 million in savings attributed primarily to vacancies.

Julie said that as of Dec. 31 all funds met or exceeded the county's fund balance policy and that the county's current conservative estimate of a general fund surplus is $1.8 million; she cautioned the final number will be known after audit timing and adjustments.

Votes at a glance: the committee approved the minutes at the start of the meeting on a motion by committee member Linda, seconded by Eden; the chair called the vote and reported it was unanimous (tally not specified in the record).

The committee took no further action on the financial report at the meeting; staff said they will continue monitoring PBRT and other revenue sources for FY25 and report back as needed.","County finance staff told the Legislative Affairs Committee that overall revenues were near budget but a state PBRT adjustment and fee waivers reduced some receipts; staff estimated a conservative $1.8 million general fund surplus pending final audit.","actionData","errors"]
