Finance Committee approves consent agenda, accepts treasurer reports and OKs three-year appraisal contract

McLean County’s Finance Committee on Dec. 3 approved routine business including the consent agenda, accepted the county treasurer’s monthly financial reports and authorized a three-year professional appraisal contract for valuation work at the Rivian plant.

The committee voted by voice to place the consent agenda on file, which included minutes from the Nov. 5, 2025 meeting and recommended approval of bills and transfers to the County Board. Member Loeffler made the motion to place the consent agenda; Vice Chair Friedrich seconded, and the motion carried.

The committee then considered the County Treasurer’s monthly financial reports. County Treasurer Becky McNeil summarized key figures — year-to-date vouchers of $15,380,734, shared sales tax receipts above last year’s November amounts and fund equity of $21,277,000 — and the committee voted to accept and place the reports on file after brief questions about forthcoming supplemental fund-level detail.

Under the Supervisor of Assessments’ items, the committee approved a three-year professional services contract with Thomas White Pickett and Associates to continue mass appraisal valuation work on the Rivian plant. Staff said the contract was budgeted and would continue while construction and additions at the site continue. Member Rosamundoza moved the contract; Member Loeffler seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote.

Each action was approved by voice; the transcript records the motions and seconders but does not record roll-call tallies or abstentions. No formal amendments to the motions were offered, and no actions were tabled or postponed. The committee adjourned with its next meeting set for Jan. 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
