Adams County board receives clean audit, approves $30,000 transfer; ambulance billing backlog discussed
Summary
The finance committee reported a clean FY24–25 audit and the board approved a $30,000 intra-departmental transfer to cover outside counsel for the public defender by roll call (17–0). Committee members also discussed a backlog in ambulance billing and plans to correct clerical errors with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services.
The Adams County Board’s finance committee reported a clean audit for fiscal year 2024–25 and the full board approved the audit and related motions during the June 9 meeting.
Tim Finley, reporting for finance, said the audit "resulted in what's called a clean audit opinion," concluding the county’s basic financial statements "presented fairly in all material respects" for the year ended Nov. 30, 2025. The chair asked for a motion to approve the audit; the board approved it by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a budget-neutral transfer of $30,000 to cover outside-counsel expenses in the public defender’s office. The transfer passed on a roll-call vote recorded as 17 in favor, four absent; the clerk read the roll call during the vote.
Finance and public-health committee members also discussed ambulance billing and collections. Staff reported clerical errors had produced a backlog in claims processing and that efforts were underway to process the backlog through the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, with an expectation of improvement toward year-end if corrective steps remain on course.
No additional appropriations were approved at the meeting. The board scheduled committee meetings and indicated continued monitoring of accounts receivable and the ambulance-billing situation.
