5. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

Chairman Cronin made the following remarks:

In my remarks this morning, I’ll address the subject matter discussed in our 8 a.m. Finance Committee Meeting. I want to thank staff for putting together a comprehensive timeline and memo, outlining relevant statutes and county Ordinances.

The way I look at it, the facts are simple… and the facts are clear.

On October 22, 2019 this Board passed an Ordinance which established the County Cannabis Retailers’ Occupation Tax at 3% from cannabis sales made in a municipality located in the County. It further directed that …quote “Copies of this Ordinance shall be certified by the Clerk and sent to the Illinois Department of Revenue prior to October 30, 2019.”

In DuPage County, we don’t pass ordinances generating new taxes very often. I would say it’s a remarkably rare and special occurrence. This was an incredibly remarkable and important action. The Clerk was specifically directed by the Ordinance to ensure the action of the Board was recorded with the Illinois Department of Revenue so that the new tax could be collected. There is no record, no recollection, receipt or even a simple email indicating the Clerk completed her duty as a duly elected county official.

The Deputy Clerk maintains the office did send the ordinance to the state. He does not know to whom, or when, nor did the office follow up with a contact at the state Department of Revenue to ensure this rather remarkable action was accurately recorded by the state of Illinois. It just sounds like some phantom occurrence. He says that is standard procedure in the Clerk’s office, unless the Board were somehow to tell the Clerk how to do her job. Standard procedure when you have documents, precious cargo that means millions of dollars to the County of DuPage, standard procedure sometimes is not enough.

It is not, nor has it ever been, the practice of this County Board to tell another duly elected County Official how to do their job. I do not check up on Treasurer Gwen Henry to make sure she sends out the property tax bills accurately. Mr. Johnson’s supposition that the Clerk’s statutory duty suddenly, somehow became the County Board’s duty is preposterous.

Believe what you will, the paperwork the Clerk was supposed to file, was never recorded with the Illinois Department of Revenue. And according to the memo Mr. White wrote for Member Chaplin…anyone and everyone except for the Clerk is to blame…including but not limited to, the mailroom at the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The fact is, that the day our Finance Department staff learned of this situation, they acted to immediately and properly file the ordinance with a specific individual in the correct division of the State Department of Revenue. They saved their emails, their tracking numbers and they called to confirm receipt. In other words, they acted professionally. They did what they were supposed to do.

We believe the estimated amount of revenue lost is around $3 million dollars. Our State’s Attorney believes that we cannot recoup those dollars as they were simply never collected.

So, what do we do now? Well, it’s no doubt this was a very serious and egregious error. I start by suggesting that the Clerk starting today should establish a log that records it filings with any and all government agencies particularly the Department of Revenue so they can provide and open and transparent record of all transactions that the Clerk was supposed to handle from the day she took office through the balance of her term.

If the Clerk failed to perform the duty of her office with respect to this significant multimillion dollar item, what else are we missing? Let’s face it, we wouldn’t be here today, immersed in this discussion about all of this if this process had worked the way it’s supposed to work. The ordinance, the law, the certification of sending is very clear.

We talked in length with our Finance committee about the sending legal obligation. This phantom person that supposedly mailed it and that there is no accompanying documentation. There is no proof that it ever occurred. I guess I would just like to offer this thought: I would humbly suggest that this may be the smoking gun. How does the clerk certify? When the Clerk certifies an ordinance, how does that happen? She’s legally obligated to certify and send IDOR.

We know that the ordinance was adopted on October 22, 2019. In pursuant to that ordinance, she was to certify and send to IDOR by October 30, 2019. However, when asked to produce by our State’s Attorney that certification, the only certified copy she could produce, and it’s in your packet for all of you to see, is dated September, 2021. Nearly two years after the ordinance was adopted. Where is the certified copy from October 2019? So, the auditor is here at the Finance Chairwomen’s request to provide some hope and explanation for the beloved Clerk, he says there are no documents. Well, he is exactly right. There are no documents because she can’t produce them, because you can’t produce a document of something that was never done. So, there is a real problem here, there is no certified copy of the ordinance that was adopted on October 22, 2019, and the only thing the Clerk is going to produce is a copy dated September 2021. So, I suspect we haven’t heard the last of what the consequences are. Certainly, the easiest to understand… the consequences of the lost revenue. Anyone of us could speculate about what those $3 or 4 million dollars could have gone to help a needy person or virtuous cause in this county. But we don’t have it because somebody didn’t do their job. It’s not easy for me, but that is our responsibility to call out the truth and to put partisan petty politics and silliness to the side and perform our responsibilities.
