Scott Killinger said the item today is the project program. On your screen you can see the final tally for the projects this year.

We did Crest Hill last month. Today, I’m asking you to approve on the Consent Agenda, the remaining 9 projects.

The grand total ends up being $118,899 of the $150,000 budgeted. As you know, some of them come in lower than expected.

On the Consent Agenda, all of those items are here. They are listed and then there are Memos for Jon to sign and then I get them over to accounting. I was hoping we would have a quorum today, because I need to get them to accounting before the end of the month, otherwise the money expires.

By the way, just to note, this one is dated 2021 and that is incorrect. Kris pointed that out to me so I’ve already corrected that one. I don’t think there’s any others that are like that.

Jon, if you are ready you can get a Motion to do the Consent Agenda. That’s all I have today.

Bill Lamb made a Motion to approve the Consent Agenda. Robert Howard seconded the Motion.

Chairman Dykstra asked if there was any discussion on the Consent Agenda or the Agenda as a whole.

Bill Lamb asked, what happens with the budget since we’re unable to dispense the other, do we lose the $32,000?

Chairman Dykstra said I believe we do lose it, it’s not a roll-over bucket.

Scott Killinger said it does not roll-over. Yes, unfortunately we lose that money. Again, we do the best we can. I can’t always anticipate things coming in under budget. This year we kind of did things a little different. We awarded some in May and some in June. As late as December, I knew of some that were dropping out, so we did these last two, 21- 10 and 21-11 to at least use some of the funds. I do my best to use up as much of the money as we can. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out to be $150,000 and it does not roll-over. The County Board funded $150,000 for 2022,so we will do another program starting our next meeting. So, anybody that knows of any projects, you can start to submit them to Dawn or myself and we’ll start putting them together.

Chairman Dykstra asked, any other questions or comments?

No response.

Roll Call Vote was taken. Motion passed unanimously, 11-0.

Chairman Dykstra said I will be expecting to get those. Dawn, I will email you a different address to use to send those. I know you’ve been sending those to our Frankfort office, so I’m going to change that and I will give you another address.

Dawn Tomczak said great, thank you.
