Board approves treasurer depository updates; staff pay requests presented, FY25 GAAP report approved

Winnebago County board members approved a resolution to update the treasurer's named depositories and accepted the county's FY25 GAAP report, while the treasurer read personnel pay requests into the record for staff in the treasurer's office.

The treasurer told the board there had been a bank name change effective Dec. 8 and that she had been moving funds into short-term instruments to capture better interest rates: "I have gotten some really good interest rates at different places in the county," she said, noting placements in "7 month CDs." The board moved to approve the depositories resolution and signed updated signature pages as requested.

Separately, the treasurer presented pay increase requests for two staffers. The transcript records the treasurer stating, "I hereby request an all other wage increase of $2 for Samantha Sony based on her review," and also announcing a request for an approximately $2.48 increase for Angie Worth to be effective in an upcoming pay period (the treasurer mentioned pay period "11/01/2025 or 11/17/2025"). The board did not record a separate roll-call approval of those individual wage requests in the meeting transcript; they were entered as requests for implementation by payroll and accounting staff.

The board also approved the FY25 GAAP report after a motion and voice vote. The meeting record shows the motion to approve the GAAP report and subsequent "Aye" responses; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

What happens next: The treasurer will implement updated depository designations and proceed with paperwork for bank name changes; wage requests will be processed through payroll and may require additional administrative steps as indicated by staff.
