The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission accepted the consolidated financial report after staff reviewed March–June statements and explained two funds that typically run deficits because services are performed before reimbursement (ISER and workforce development).

Staff explained that the financial statements are generated from the Munis system and that the county auditor’s office usually posts supporting statements by the 10th of each month. For the period under review staff said the auditor’s office had not uploaded statements by Aug. 28 (staff pulled a report on Aug. 28 and said the auditors posted material the following day), and that July statements were still not available when the RPC prepared its documents. Commissioners expressed concern about timeliness; one said the board took action to shift workload to address the slowdowns and hoped timely reports would resume.

Staff also flagged two expense variances in the bills review: a $1,147,843 increase on a client assistance expense line (account 502049, fund 2075) tied to additional reconnect assistance that month, and increased repairs/maintenance and equipment spending in Head Start (fund 2104) as start‑up money was expended for new facilities. Apart from these items staff characterized the accounts as routine.

The commission voted to accept the consolidated financial statements by motion and voice vote. No detailed roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting minutes; commissioners urged staff to monitor the auditor's upload schedule and to follow up where needed.
