The presenter told the committee the chart of accounts — the foundational configuration for the new financial system — is close to being finalized and that data conversion work is moving smoothly. \"That's really the foundation for the rest of the entire financial system, and we are very close to having that finalized,\" the presenter said, adding the project team holds regular check‑ins with vendors and project staff.

On risks, staff said they are evaluating whether the inventory module is needed, distinguishing inventory from asset management, and are actively managing change across departments. The presentation noted active communications with departments and weekly or biweekly check‑ins to prepare users for process changes.

A prominent risk item discussed was the office of the county auditor. The presenter said the county auditor \"really has not been engaged very much in the process to be honest,\" and characterized that limited participation as a major project risk. Committee members expressed concern and asked staff to continue outreach to improve engagement. The presenter also said the treasurer’s office is providing time for project work amid a busy property‑tax season.

Committee members were reminded the finance go‑live is scheduled for Nov. 1 to allow the system to be operational before the new year; staff listed goals for the coming month including completing spreadsheets, process documentation, and crosswalks between old and new account structures for data conversion.

Committee members asked staff to continue efforts to increase participation from the auditor’s office and to report back on progress.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Executive Committee 6/9/25","oneSentenceSummary","IT staff reported progress on the county’s ERP (financial) implementation — chart of accounts nearing completion and data conversion under way — but said the county auditor’s office has not consistently engaged with the project, creating a material risk to the November finance go‑live schedule.","taxTitle","McLean County, Illinois","taxId",2553,"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},6206168,"County approves $34,400 impact study to evaluate Aegis records management replacement",256,617000,873000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3765708-0fc5ef087a1e5fd3ce607c6e2c443b22&start=617&end=873","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3765708-0fc5ef087a1e5fd3ce607c6e2c443b22/thumbnail_617000.jpg","/articles/6206168/McLean-County/Illinois/County-approves-34400-impact-study-to-evaluate-Aegis-records-management-replacement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206168-699243b8e9907b3b1caa8ee1bb8487c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448583&Signature=hEybhIUgTWYx-HxDU4EywpHiy28xGIGN1lxzuFu~HjqXg23lv5xJDwLPSuv-05mNFT4jlf257j-bGmbRWEi7uYQj9ZKRNshx1zHFxXOxunown57MR9YSBLye3OLJ8JlF1vujHfougMwQGPDJ2MT6xdwo74V6BJUcN9UGK9yI69UACfTYpHxD-9rTQKiwJg0tsmenD6J-Im39zBttiBv3JrL9sDCA8PJ4vxF7UVXyhiMleat6IDq6TJEM2yPg9nEknGLRq41iD9wPrANxhdE-mhYNltbV6UzGWP0SKfsr8b2YVildRxyon-vYf1VDDaQPaGPgb~~HXz5ZV7z2CbjMPw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The McLean County Executive Committee approved a change order with Mission Critical Partners to conduct an impact study on the county’s planned Aegis records management replacement, at a fixed price of $34,400 to be paid from a shared sales tax fund.

Tony Nelson (Information Technologies) turned the item over to the department’s lead where the presenter described the county’s integrated justice ecosystem and said the study will lay out three options: continue with the current vendor (Caliber Public Safety), implement Caliber and later replace it, or stop implementation now and move immediately to an alternative vendor. \"We sought out three different proposals… Mission Critical Partners has been our partner through the entire Aegis replacement up to this point,\" the presenter said.

County staff reported the current records management system (RMS) implementation was scheduled to go live on July 22, with the CAD replacement following on July 29; staff told the committee that stakeholders have raised interest in exploring newly available vendor alternatives since the original selection. The impact study is intended to assess technical, operational and schedule risks across RMS, the jail management system (JMS), the courts management system (CMS) and the computer‑aided dispatch (CAD) integration.

The presenter said the $34,400 fixed‑price engagement was the lowest of three proposals; staff recommended proceeding because a vendor change at this stage could generate large downstream costs and schedule impacts. The committee approved the change order by voice vote.

Committee members and presenters framed the study as an insurance policy to understand tradeoffs before making a potentially costly vendor change that would affect multiple justice system modules.","McLean County authorized a $34,400 change order to Mission Critical Partners to produce an impact study on replacing or continuing the Aegis records management system; the study will analyze effects on RMS, JMS, CMS and CAD integrations ahead of July go‑live dates.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":42,"_43":80,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6206175,"McLean County committee approves Home Sweet Home Ministries shelter village and funds crisis outreach advertising",1108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3765708-0fc5ef087a1e5fd3ce607c6e2c443b22&start=873&end=1108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3765708-0fc5ef087a1e5fd3ce607c6e2c443b22/thumbnail_873000.jpg","/articles/6206175/McLean-County/Illinois/McLean-County-committee-approves-Home-Sweet-Home-Ministries-shelter-village-and-funds-crisis-outreach-advertising","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206175-fc41165343208fffd0d2d57606be0065/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448583&Signature=NrMRH184K-LpOY059ZSftmQfnjA9KZhp1EAQSMxkR38jVTAFkeUUB-6kJfQgkvrvEaQTMsiGUBp~g3kXaUqdGuEqpVTE4uq5AdG96P0w~aH~5ouWu17kfCY5ToL7uGQsNxT9xOoM-YbywZjiq84Z8RFs06aqceYv-i98qx2SwL4slSNnXufjMivAkCTQnMKhOM9Gx1GS09CIQOf6536jLOXEBuKVu8aOBAEsXP3afWe34fqoEDuO1oaxRQoSvPtuOePMyegQ2wgl~sVU14QzK0iNvknYjSmLFuiVXuLiyCj~mpiclt8ObKxJuDHun0Dn0uK-pkfv99G7yJMVvhXKTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The McLean County Executive Committee voted to approve awarding a request for proposals for a non‑congregate shelter project to Home Sweet Home Ministries and approved related advertising contracts to promote local crisis services.

Marina Landreth, presenting under the Behavioral Health Coordinating Council, told the committee the department released the RFP as part of the Mental Health Action Plan’s 2025 strategic priorities and received a single proposal. Landreth said four independent evaluators and reference checks recommended moving forward with the Home Sweet Home submission; the committee approved the award and staff will bring a contract to the board for finalization in July.

Matt Burgess, CEO of Home Sweet Home Ministries, described the project as a 48‑unit shelter village the organization is calling \"The Bridal,\" designed to provide temporary shelter plus on‑site behavioral health supports. \"We have chosen to name this shelter village The Bridal, as as a nod both to its location… but also to indicate its purpose, and that's to be a bridge for people, coming inside to get out of homelessness and into a permanent housing arrangement,\" Burgess said.

Project specifics presented to the committee include:
- 48 sleeping units: 40 single units and 8 double units for couples; larger end units are designated for doubles.
- Individual sleeping units of about 80 square feet, furnished with a small bed, mini‑fridge and microwave, and basic storage.
- A centralized clubhouse with five offices (three intended for partner agencies), common living space and limited on‑site cooking; a separate bathhouse with seven ADA‑compliant shower/restroom stalls; and a locked perimeter with controlled access.
- On‑site, 24‑hour staffing with a minimum of two staff present at all times.
- An off‑leash dog area and partnerships with the local humane society for animal care (including vaccinations).
- Storage arrangements for residents’ belongings (95‑gallon rolling bins kept behind locked doors at Eastview Community Center) and on‑site deck lockers or similar storage features.
- Laundry machines intended primarily to launder linens between occupants; partner facilities are being explored for residents’ personal laundry needs.

Burgess said the village’s model emphasizes reducing barriers to services: residents will not be required to be sober to access a sleeping unit but drug or alcohol use will not be permitted on the premises; staff will use on‑site behavioral health partners to connect residents to care. \"We will not be permitting drug and alcohol use on the premises, but we will not be requiring sobriety as a condition of seeking our services,\" Burgess said.

Burgess and Landreth said the village will prioritize people identified as harder to engage in the current shelter system and estimated average stays of about three to six months based on program experience and local housing availability. They also said the project will not serve households with minor children.

Home Sweet Home listed a broad set of local service partners committed to recurring on‑site services, including Chestnut Health Systems; the Center for Human Services; the Center for Youth and Family Solutions; Project Oz; MidCentral Community Action; PATH; and The Salvation Army. Funding for operations is expected to be braided from multiple sources: county grant funds currently requested, corporate giving (including existing support from State Farm), local township support, state programs such as Home Illinois, HUD Continuum of Care funds, and other grants or donations.

As part of the same Behavioral Health Action Plan work, the committee approved several advertising contracts to raise awareness of crisis resources and reduce unnecessary emergency room visits. Contracts approved included transit and wrap advertising with Hawk Transit Advertising (motions carried), a print contract with Panagraph Publishing/Lee Enterprises for $21,137, and a contract with Marcus Media Group for $25,760. Landreth said ads will be produced in English and Spanish and will highlight in‑person behavioral health urgent care and crisis resources such as 988.

The committee approved the RFP award by voice vote; Member Cline joined before the final tally and confirmed she voted in favor.","The Executive Committee approved awarding an RFP to Home Sweet Home Ministries for a 48-unit non‑congregate shelter called \"The Bridal,\" and approved a multimedia crisis‑services advertising campaign in English and Spanish to promote local behavioral health resources.","actionData","errors"]
