Finance Committee Meeting 6/18/26

The Kankakee County Board Finance Committee convened on June 18, 2026, to discuss various financial and procurement matters. Key procurement activities included the opening and review of bids for roofing projects at the County Highway building (801 South Skyler gas station), the I Can regional office of education, and the County Health Department. Langlois was the sole bidder for these projects, with bids ranging from approximately $113,100 to $420,250. The committee moved to accept Langlois as the lowest responsible bidder after review. Additionally, the committee reviewed monthly claims and payments, including a significant payment to NextEra Energy Services for gas supply. The meeting also featured a detailed audit report presentation highlighting the county's financial position, internal control improvements, and ongoing management of ARPA funds. No new debt was issued during the fiscal year, and the county continues to pay down existing bonds. The committee approved the monthly claims and financial reports by roll call vote and discussed ongoing capital projects and cash flow status, including insurance reimbursements for storm damage. No new business was introduced, and the meeting was adjourned following the approval of motions related to procurement and financial oversight.
