Committee approves May bills and reviews county budgets, grant reimbursements and aid balances
Summary
At the June 11 meeting the circuit-wide committee approved May bills for LaSalle, Grundy and Bureau counties, discussed county general-fund balances and reimbursed grant figures, and noted an overpayment to a juvenile placement provider that is being reimbursed.
The circuit-wide committee voted to approve May 2025 bills and reviewed semiannual budget expenditures and grant reimbursements at its June 11 meeting.
Staff presented the May bill totals included in committee packets: LaSalle County bills totaled $3,604.95, Grundy County bills $994.79 and Bureau County bills $299.14. The committee approved payment of the bills by voice vote after a motion by Bill James and a second from Georgia. The chair recorded the motion as carried.
Staff also reported county budget and account balances used for probation services. The Aid for Dependent Children account balance was reported as $241,782.09. Staff said juvenile residential placements were limited to Focus House at the time of the report; Focus House’s daily cost was reported as $250, and staff noted the provider is reimbursing the circuit for an earlier overpayment.
On semiannual budget details, staff provided county-by-county expenditure and income summaries for December 2024 through May 2025. For Bureau County staff said $4,406.68 had been expended against a $31,000 allocation for a line item, leaving a reported balance in the range of $27,043.32. For Grundy County staff reported general-fund probation salaries expended to date of $223,003.41 and other semiannual realized income figures. The transcript included additional numeric entries and some county names that were unclear in transcription; staff-presented packet figures should be consulted for exact line-item accounting.
Staff also reported grant reimbursements realized in the first six months of the fiscal year: Adult Redeploy reimbursements of $87,549.39; Juvenile Redeploy reimbursements of $360,114.83; and Problem-Solving Court/treatment-alternative-court reimbursements of $128,993.12. Committee members discussed upcoming fiscal-year work and the AOIC annual-plan schedule; staff said the new county fiscal year begins July 1 and that AOIC’s annual-plan timing has shifted to July, which affects preparation schedules.
The committee confirmed next steps are completion of grant closeouts and preparation of budgets for the 2026 county fiscal year. The committee adjourned after setting its next meeting for July 9 at 10 a.m.
