Finance staff report shows fund balances; board approves paying county bills; citizens raise PPE and tax‑notice concerns
Summary
The county finance report reviewed assets, fund balances and uncollected taxes; the board approved payment of bills. During citizen’s time, a volunteer fire department leader asked for PPE grant application details and residents raised concerns about misrouted tax notices and long‑term indebted properties.
County finance staff presented the financial report ending April 30, 2026, calling attention to bank and CD balances and an overall fund balance summary. The report explained that part of the month‑to‑month difference reflected pass‑through receipts the prior year and an unusually large semester payment to the school board; staff pointed out reserves and noted an estimated $4.8 million in uncollected county taxes after subtracting reserves for uncollected taxes.
The board moved and carried a motion to pay the county’s outstanding bills; the minutes record the motion as made by "Mister Roscoe" and seconded by Rick (recorded on the meeting minutes), after which the board approved payment.
During citizen’s time, Larry Atwood, president of the Sugar Grove Volunteer Fire Department, requested a copy of the county’s PPE grant application and distribution records for a state PPE award of roughly $100,000; staff said they would provide the application and distribution details. David Fulton and other citizens raised concerns that tax tickets had been mailed to incorrect addresses, causing unexpected delinquency notices.
Finance staff offered to provide fund‑by‑fund detail and clarified presentation page numbers for those using electronic packets.
