# Will County Special Finance Committee Meeting November 10, 2026 Pt.  2

The Will County Board Special Finance Committee met November 10, 2026, to review proposed FY2027 budget reductions. A caucus proposal targeted a 2% reduction and included reducing the Copperfield building allocation from $750,000 to $500,000 for generator-related improvements, reducing the real estate liability fund estimate from $4 million to $3.5 million, and reducing county office building professional-services planning funds. The proposal also contemplated using $1 million in cannabis-fund revenue, not adding three proposed positions in the coroner’s office, assessor’s office, and land use, and applying further reductions across departments. These were presented as proposals, not adopted budget actions; committee members requested written calculations and time to review the effects, including impacts on existing contracts and services. The committee agreed to schedule another special finance meeting at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday to continue review before the full board meeting.

Members discussed the assessor’s system-analysis budget and an existing $520,000 contract for the PAM/KMA system and customizations, raising questions about how proposed line-item reductions would affect payment obligations. Existing employee labor agreements and their scheduled wage increases were also noted as constraints on budget planning. Separately, a FY2026 budget-transfer item was moved and seconded and passed by roll call; the transcript does not specify the transfer amount or purpose. No new vendor selection or contract award was identified.
