also thanked Member Dailey and her contact in working though Medicaid cases, noting that several large credits are anticipated to be reversed in the County’s favor.

➢ Heddington Oaks 2021 Financial Plan Ms. Musselman summarized activity for Quarter 2 of the Financial Plan.

• The RSM Phase I Medicare bad debt evaluation is approximately 75% complete, with final claims numbers still be to verified.

• Finance staff has been working in conjunction with the State’s Attorney’s Office to file legal action on several cases in an effort to collect accounts receivables. Collection goals will be further broken down to provide context between cash collections and pending and/or ongoing cases in court.

➢ Legislative Update

Federal Mr. Sorrel advised that Peoria County’s final allocation via the American Rescue Plan Act totals $34.8 million, to be distributed in two equal tranches. He stated that the first tranche of $17.4 million was received one week ago, and the second tranche will be available to the County no sooner than one year from now. He noted that there are six eligible uses for the funding as per interim final guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury, those being 1) support for the public health response to the virus; 2) replacement of public sector revenue losses; 3) water and sewer infrastructure; 4) addressing the economic impacts of the virus; 5) premium pay for essential workers; 6) broadband infrastructure. State Mr. Sorrel advised that there is an anticipation that budget implementation bills will begin to appear by early next week. Mr. Sorrel remarked that a component of the Energy Omnibus Bill includes local zoning authority for the siting of both wind farms and solar farms. He noted that the County’s regulations are less restrictive than the proposed legislation, making the state Bill more restrictive than what is required at the local level. He advised that he will continue to work at the negotiating table for modifications, in concert with the County’s legislative consultant and lobbyist. He emphasized that the legislation does not eliminate local zoning authority, but does create more restrictive standards and regulations. Joint Resolution

➢ FY2021 appropriation in Peoria City/County Health Department budget to reflect FEMA Public Assistance funding (joint with County Health Committee)

A motion to approve was made by Dr. Blair and seconded by Ms. Groves Allison. Ms. Hendrickson advised that the Health Department applied for and has been approved to receive up to $500,000.00 in FEMA Public Assistance funding which will be utilized for contractual services, and specifically for COVID-19 vaccination costs. She stated that the Health Department requests a budget appropriation in the amount of $500,000.00 to increase spending authority for the additional funds. Ms. Cordis Boswell advised that the FEMA application includes a proviso in which a contact with a service provider must be established and in place. She remarked that Advanced Medical Transport (AMT) is the area’s sole source provider for the required services, and further clarified that AMT is the underlying contract which enabled the Health Department to apply for the FEMA funding. The motion to approve carried unanimously (14-0; Mr. Rand absent) Adjournment The meeting was adjourned by Chairperson Fennell at 2:26 p.m.

APRIL 30, 2021 MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT

4


To: Finance, Audit, and Legislative Affairs Committee Chairman Fennell and Committee Members

From: Randy Brunner, CFO and Julie Kusturin, Assistant CFO

Date: June 21, 2021

Subject: Monthly Financial Report – Results through March 31, 2021

The report can be broken down to three main sections, General Fund Analysis, Major Revenues Analysis, and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance reported on All Funds. This report includes an analysis of the General Fund by department and by major revenue sources and uses. Since April is the 4th month of the fiscal year, revenues and expenditures are expected to be at or around 33.3% of the budget. Categories that fall above or below this threshold have been identified to help draw out possible areas of concern. Major Revenue Sources which have a significant impact to the budget have been identified and are reflected in the reports individually to show where the revenue is compared to the budget and where the current revenue is predicted to be in comparison to the last four years. Finally, the last section of this report shows the change in fund balance for all funds and the current fund balance compared to the fund balance policy set by the County Board. Funds that fall below the set fund balance policy reserve have been highlighted in red to draw attention to the funds that do not meet the requirement. For detailed financial reporting specifically relating to Heddington Oaks, please reference the most recent monthly financial reports which are reported to the Health Committee and can be located within the Health Committee packet. We believe this information provides a high level, yet solid base to the counties monthly financials and we welcome your feedback. If you have any specific questions regarding this report that you would like addressed during the monthly committee meeting, we kindly ask you to please email [email protected] or call 309-672.6067. Your advance notice is appreciated and will aid in discussion. MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTS This Monthly Financial Report provides an overview of the Peoria County financial activities for the period ending April 30, 2021, four months of the activity representing 33.3% of the fiscal year. GENERAL FUND ANALYSIS (Pages 6-7)

Current Year Revenues by Department (Page 6)

• Total General Fund Revenues to date are 31.0% of budget compared to 25.0% at the same time last year. ➢ Department 001, General County (29.8%): Property tax

distributions will not hit the financials until June. General County revenues outside of property tax revenues are tracking at 42.32% of the annual budget, which is favorable for April.

➢ Department 014, County Treasurer (1.3%): This department reports about 97% of the annual budgeted revenues in Period 13 and has historically met or exceeded the revenue budget.

➢ Department 025, Regional Office of Education (0.0%): Grant funds are received in two installments during the fiscal year.

Current Year Expenditures by Department (Page 6)

• Total General Fund Expenditures to date are 29.6% of budget compared to 30.6% at the same time last year. ➢ Department 001, General County (35.3%): Expenditures for this department will always be inflated due to

the transfer schedule for bond payments. Sufficient funds are transferred in advance to cover principal and interest payments until other revenue sources (property taxes and federal rebates) are received.

mailto:[email protected]


➢ Department 002, County Administration (36.0%): Expenditures for the Smart Mobility Lab, a carryover from

the previous year, were paid in March and a budget appropriation was approved in May by the County Board. ➢ Department 003, County Board (33.4%): Annual dues that were paid in January 2021 brought one-line item

to almost 100% and is skewing the overall department expected expenditure to budget. ➢ Department 013, Sheriff Merit Commission (60.1%): Expenditures for this department fluctuate with the

hiring of sheriff officers. ➢ Department 027, County Elections Commission (41.7%): Software maintenance and lease annual

expenditures were paid in January and March which is skewing the overall department expected expenditures to budget.

Current Year Revenues and Expenditures by Sources and Uses (Page 7):

➢ Property Taxes 31400 (0.0%) will be received beginning in June through December. *Heddington Oaks accrues property tax revenues monthly since it is an Enterprise Fund.

➢ Other Taxes 31400 (0.0%) is below budget in this report due how the county recognizes revenues from penalties on property taxes during P13 and not throughout the year.

➢ Licenses and Permits 32000 (30.3%) is below budget in this report due to revenues being cyclical in nature and are expected to increase later in the fiscal year.

➢ Fund Transfers In (12.7%): Transfer from the Keystone fund for Economic Development is done in P13. The other transfer is grant related and is reported quarterly.

➢ Contractual Services (33.6%): Expenditures for the Smart Mobility Lab, a carryover from the previous year, were paid in March and a budget appropriation was approved in May by the County Board. Additionally, the County is incurring COVID19 contractual expenses which have not been budgeted.

➢ Fund Transfers Out (35.6%): Expenditures for this use category will always be inflated due to the transfer schedule for bond payments. Sufficient funds are transferred in advance to cover principal and interest payments until other revenue sources (property taxes and federal rebates) are received. The Fund Transfers are adjusted in June and December after sufficient receipts for property taxes and the federal rebates are received.

MAJOR REVENUES ANALYSIS (Pages 8-10): 2020 is behind us and may we all be hopeful for Fiscal Year 2021. The fiscal year is young yet and major revenues will continuously be monitored and updated monthly to reflect the FY2021 anticipated revenues. Early revenue activity for sales tax, income tax, and personal property replacement taxes gives us great confidence that the County should expect to meet revenue budget expectations this fiscal year for these revenues. With increased government aid from the most recent coronavirus stimulus bill, continued unemployment benefits, the region operating in the “Bridge to Phase 5”, and now in June we are Phase 5, changes to the online sales tax collections, and consumer confidence have all been to blame for the positive revenue receipts year to date for Peoria County.

➢ Income tax is trending above budget by $593,912 or 34.3%. The favorable revenue variance is primarily due to the continued impact of four factors: high paying professional jobs remaining employed during the pandemic, weekly supplements of unemployment benefits, corporate taxes from companies that do well in the digital economy, and the elimination of the 5% discount from the LGDF fund and the lowered income-tax refund rates on July 1, 2020. In 2021, three of the first five months have been the highest income tax receipts for that month for the last 24 years that the county has been tracking this revenue.

➢ Personal Property Replacement Tax (All Funds) revenues fluctuate year to year and PPRT is trending above budget expectations by $1,846,583 or 86.1%. The County budgeted this revenue low in FY21 because the revenue historically significantly declines the year to two years after a major economic downturn. Unlike other economic downturns, the COVID19 pandemic caused an unusually high May distribution of 161% higher than May 2020 due to two related reasons. Because of the pandemic, the State changed the 2019 tax-

36


return due date from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020, following the IRS’s initiative. As a result, most businesses did not remit final tax-return or extension payments in April 2020, shrinking the PPRT distribution significantly in May 2020. For tax year 2020, the due date for individual income taxes was extended to May 17, 2021; however, the corporate tax-return due date for 2020 remained the same as usual: April 15, 2021. Therefore, PPRT distributed in May 2021 includes final tax-return and extension payments by c-corporations, trusts and estates, and partnerships. Recently, these payments Statewide amounted to $700 million to $1 billion in April, which gets split between PPRT and corporate income-tax revenue for the General Fund.

Some industries have benefited from the pandemic, while others were hit hard by the lockdowns. The tech sector, finance, insurance, telecommunications, biotech, logistics, and pharmaceutical industries have soared while hospitality, tourism, retail, and small businesses have suffered. Based on the tax-revenue collections, it appears that these thriving industries have made much more money in 2020 than in 2019, which has more than offset the losses from not-so-fortunate sectors. The 2020 final tax payments that came in April 2021 are much higher than tax year 2019 or 2018. Additionally, firms have submitted much higher quarterly estimated payments since mid-2020. The May PPRT distribution in 2021 benefited by these higher estimated tax payments. The flip side of this story is that the upcoming August PPRT distribution will be much smaller than what it was last year. Be prepared to see an 80% decrease in your August PPRT.

➢ Sales Tax Combined: Based on current year receipts and estimating future revenues, current data predicts the

total combined sales taxes will meet and/or exceed budget expectations in 2021. The Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act was effective January 1, 2021. This act required out of state online merchants to tax Illinois consumers based on their tax rate at their delivery address instead of collecting the 6.25% use tax. This change will shift revenues from the Local Use Tax line item to Sales Tax, Supplemental Sales tax, and Public Safety Sales Tax. The 2021 budget reflects the expected sales tax revenues and the shift from favorable local use taxes. The full impact of the Level the Playing Field act is not able to be predicted with a high level of certainty due to the significant difference between how the two tax types are collected. The pandemic has also changed consumer behavior to depending more and more on online retail shops, which should have a favorable impact to Peoria County sales taxes. Another factor that will marginally impact the County will be the population change from the 2020 US Census. We expect that our County population will decline and will negatively impact the local use tax revenues. However, since our population is based on unincorpated population, the impact will be marginal. Further analysis will follow the release of the census figures.

o Local Use Tax was budgeted significantly below the actual revenues in previous years due to the impact of the census change and the significant shift of revenues from local use tax due to the January 1, 2021 implementation of the Leveling the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act. Local use for January through March have been on average 3.91% higher than revenues for 2020 and it is too early to predict with high accuracy where this revenue will be in 2021. After several more months of data, we should be able to better understand the impact of the Level the Playing Field for Illinois Retail Act.

o Sales Tax in January was 90.5%, February was 100.3%, and March was 114.6% higher than the 2020 receipts. In the second half of 2020, sales taxes on average were 46.8% higher than the same months the preceding year due to early implementers of the Level the Playing field act. With the January through March receipts being exponentially higher than 2020, this line item could perform even better than our conservative budget expectations. We are looking forward to seeing how this revenue trends in FY2021.

o Supplemental Sales tax is also impacted by the Level the Playing Field act. The January tax receipts were 14.34%, February was 43.27%, and March was 72.98% higher than 2020. We remain optimistic in how this revenue will perform in FY2021.

o Public Safety Sales tax is also impacted by the Level the Playing Field act. The January tax receipts were 13.35%, February 9.68%, and March was 63.12% higher than 2020 receipts. We remain optimistic in how this revenue will perform in FY2021.

➢ Charges for Services are estimated to meet budget expectations. Revenues received for Federal Detention in the

Sheriff’s office and favorable revenues in the County Clerk’s office is credited to offset the decline in revenues in other offices due to lighter foot traffic in the courthouse and the impacts of the local economy.

➢ Property Taxes are accrued in Heddington Oaks on a monthly basis, but revenues are not received until June of 2021.

STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE FOR ALL FUNDS (Pages 11-12): Special Revenue Funds

➢ Fund 033, County Highway is currently at 11.3% fund balance, about 12.7% below the fund balance policy. This fund receives a significant portion of annual revenues from property taxes, which will be collected in June 2021. The fund should be back to fund balance policy when property tax revenues are received.

➢ Fund 042, IL Municipal Retirement is currently at (-4.1%) fund balance, about 12.1% below the fund balance policy. This fund receives a significant portion of annual revenues from property taxes, which will be collected in June 2021. The fund should be back to fund balance policy when property tax revenues are received.

➢ Fund 043, FICA is currently at 5.6% fund balance, about 2.4% below the fund balance policy. This fund receives a significant portion of annual revenues from property taxes, which will be collected in June 2021. The fund should be back to fund balance policy when property tax revenues are received.

➢ Fund 054 Mortgage Foreclosure Fund is currently at 2.7% fund balance, about 13.3% below the fund balance policy. Fees and charges have been received below budget expectations.

➢ Fund 091, C.O.P.S Fund is currently at (-9.2%) fund balance, about 9.2% below the fund balance policy. Grant revenues have not been accrued and the fund is expected to be at or above the fund balance policy by the close of the fiscal year.

➢ Fund 207, Circuit Clerk Automation Fund is currently at (-7.4%) fund balance, about 23.4% below the fund balance policy. This fund is dependent on charges for services and collections were down in 2020 due to the closing of the Courthouse due to the Shelter in Place order to slow the spread of the Coronavirus. If revenues do not perform well in 2021, action will need to be taken to address the negative fund balance.

Enterprise Funds ➢ Fund 175, Heddington Oaks Fund is currently at (-112.2%) net position. Heddington Oaks is an Enterprise

Fund that uses the full accrual method of accounting that measures net position and not fund balance. Net position differs from fund balance because it includes the Net Investment in Capital Assets. The Heddington Oaks building is depreciating faster than the debt is being paid off, which lowers the overall net position. The unrestricted net position is $35,414, which is about 22.8% below the fund balance policy. The Heddington Oaks facility has struggled in recent years to have a resident census mix that is sufficient to cover the facilities expenses. The Peoria County Board has made the difficult decision to close the facility and the Nursing Home served its last resident in August 2020. For detailed financial reporting specifically relating to Heddington Oaks, please reference the most recent monthly financial reports which are reported to the Health Committee and can be located within the Health Committee packet.

Internal Service Funds

➢ Fund 082, Risk Management Fund is currently at (-64.9%) fund balance, about 72.9% below the fund balance policy. Fund balance was replenished in FY20 and is budgeted to replenish more fund balance in FY21. Annual risk management fees are paid in the first quarter of the year and significantly impacts fund balance on a short-term basis until revenues are received. This fund receives a significant portion of annual revenues from property taxes, which will be collected in June 2021.

The House came closer than the Senate to adjourning May 31st but needed until after 3:00 am in the morning of June 1st before they ended spring session. Meanwhile the Senate needed all of June 1st as they were unable to adjourn until after 5pm. Both chambers left open the possibility to return over the summer as work continues to finalize a few major pieces of legislation.

This spring session, which featured a hybrid approach of remote committee hearings and in person legislative action, saw over 7,000 bills introduced and over 600 approved by both chambers. Absent from that list is the massive energy bill that, should legislators return prior to veto session, will be a prominent factor. Also, only the Senate was able to pass the elected school board bill for the city of Chicago, which has turned into a very hot political issue.

Among the bills passed, the Democratic supermajorities were able to push through the controversial remap legislation, a trailer bill to the criminal justice reform act, an ethics omnibus package and a bill that would allow bars and restaurants to sell to-go alcoholic beverages as well as give free drinks to patrons who are vaccinated as part of a drink and a shot push to increase the number of adults who receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Legislation

Budget

SB 2800- Budget Appropriation Bill- Passed Both Chambers

FY 2022 budget appropriates approximately $42.2 billion in state spending. $2 billion of which is allocated to pay down debt. Around $650 million of the budget will come from the closing of various corporate tax loopholes. The Governor initially wanted that number to be $900 million. Also, this bill contains various capitol project appropriations that were reappropriated from the capitol bill passed a few years ago. Please note that some of the dollar amounts may have been changed. SB 2017- Budget Implementation Bill (BIMP)- Passed Both Chambers Although a 10% cut to LGDF was proposed, the Local Government Distributed Fund distribution formula was held level with the previous fiscal year. Due to the closure of the various corporate tax loopholes LGDF could receive and uptick in the actual dollar amount. However, the diversions to the Personal Property Replacement Tax (PPRT) continued with nearly $350 million being diverted this year. That number is up from the $311 million that was

diverted in FY21. These dollars have continued to grow since the state begin raiding this fund around 10 years ago.

Guiding Principles

TEMPORARY NATURE OF FUNDING

Care should be taken to avoid creating new programs or add-ons to existing programs that require ongoing financial commitment.

Use of FRF funds to cover operating deficits caused by COVID-19 should be considered temporary and additional budget restraint may be necessary to achieve/maintain structural balance in future budgets.

Investment in critical infrastructure is particularly well suited for use of FRF funds because it is a non-recurring expenditure that can be targeted to strategically-important long-term assets that provide benefits over many years. However, care should be taken to assess any on-going operating costs that may be associated with the project.

115

Guiding Principles

SCANNING AND PARTNERING EFFORT

Local jurisdictions should be cognizant of state-level ARP efforts, especially regarding infrastructure, potential enhancements of state funding resources, and existing or new state law requirements.

Consider regional initiatives, including partnering with other ARP Recipients. It is possible there are many beneficiaries of ARP funding within your community, such as schools, transportation agencies, and local economic development authorities. Be sure to understand what they are planning and augment their efforts or create cooperative spending plans to enhance the structural financial condition of your community.

116

Guiding Principles

TAKE TIME AND CAREFUL CONSIDERATION

Use other dedicated grants and programs first whenever possible and save FRF funds for priorities not eligible for other federal and state assistance programs.

Whenever possible, expenditures related to FRF should be spread over the entire qualifying period (through December 31, 2024) to enhance budgetary and financial stability.

Adequate time should be taken to carefully consider all alternatives for the prudent use of FRF funding prior to committing the resources to ensure the best use of the temporary funding.
