Government At Work

TUESDAY, JULY 24—
9:30 a.m. – McHenry County Board, Finance & Audit Committee –
Meeting in the County Board Conference Room, County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The Committee is to consider a number of resolutions including:
Resolution Authorizing Monthly Transactions for the Delinquent Tax Program... The County is to receive $184.38 as the amount due after other expenses were distributed for a parcel of property for which $650 in taxes were collection. The balance was for fees paid to the County Clerk, Recorder/Secretary of State, and the agent handling the matter.

The Committee is to accept an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Solid Waste Enforcement Grant in the amount of
$41,622.49.

Other matters are being present the Committee for approval—Resolution authorizing the Symantec Software Maintenance and Support Agreement renewal. Also for consideration by the committee is a Resolution authorizing entering into an agreement with Andy Frain Services, Inc. for security Services for the McHenry County Administration Building.

Other matters to be considered by the Committee include reports from the Auditor, Contingency Reports, Economic Development Corporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Comfort for the occupants of the Department of Transportation building on Nelson Road can expect some measure of comfort with a grant of $1,160 from the Illinois Department of Commerce Economic Opportunity.

Currently the building lacks automated control features to coordinate and reduce heating and air-conditioning usage of the building space. The grant money is to be used toward making the building energy efficient. This is not to exceed a projected cost of $35,700 to add automation to the HVAC systems at the McDOT Office building. It is estimated this will provide an annual energy saving of about $4,800 per year. Perhaps the most important aspect of this project is the comfort it will provide for the occupants.

Software Maintenance and Support Agreement Renewal
The Committee is to consider a $35,057 contract with Zones, Inc. of Auburn, WA. This maintenance and support contract covers technical support and subscriptions to the Symantec software platforms from September 27, 2012 through September 26, 2013. This system enables archiving of County email and file system content.
