Wallace and Elizabeth Hernandez) Senate Bill 1652 (Sen. Andy Manar - Pat McGuire - Iris Y. Martinez - Melinda Bush - Don Harmon, Laura M. Murphy, Omar Aquino, Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, Linda Holmes and Steve Stadelman) Purpose The state’s unprecedented fiscal challenges require a full weighing of outstanding vouchers and the ramifications of the $12 billion-plus unpaid bill backlog. House Bill 3649/Senate Bill 1652 seeks to provide a more accurate accounting of bills being held by each state agency and the late interest penalties the state is accruing. Background: After appropriations are made and services are provided, each state agency sends bills to the Comptroller for payment. However, if vouchers for payment are held at the agency level due to a lack of appropriation or processing delays, these liabilities remain largely hidden from the Comptroller. The state’s Prompt Payment Act, which assigns a 1% per month penalty to bills that are 90 days past due, applies to a currently unknown number of the bills being held by the agencies.

    Gregg Mandsager City Administrator City Hall, 215 Sycamore St. Muscatine, IA 52761-3840 (563) 264-1550 Voice/TT City Administrator Report to Mayor & City Council 2019.08.18, Edition No. 352 WEEKLY UPDATE: • Emergency Management: This is to notify who that LMI will be in the process of updating sirens in your communities. They initially plan on this upcoming Monday, August 19, 2019 pending any threat of severe weather. Brian Wright, Muscatine Co. Emergency Management ([email protected]). • DPW/Curb Cuts: In the past Roadway Maintenance has sawed curb cuts and removed pavement for contractors at no charge. The reason we did this was to control the depth of the saw cut to ensure that the remaining concrete was not broken along the saw line. Doing this is time consuming and costly to the department and there are contractors within the city that can provide this service. The department is planning to cease providing this free service and directing all contractors to contact a local contractor with the proper sawing equipment to have them do the work. The city Right of Way inspector would inspect the saw cuts and removal to make sure that it meets specifications. • Bi-State: Please see the attached July 2019 Public Officials Directory. This document is also available on their website, www.bistateonline.org, in a module on the left-hand side of the home page or under Documents, Administration. • Tourism: Roger Brooks and Destination Development have a number of interesting articles, emails or short reads on tourism and downtown development.

  • End of Session Report for the First Legislative Session in Four Years, an Agreement Was Reached on a Full-Year Budget by The
    End of Session Report For the first legislative session in four years, an agreement was reached on a full-year budget by the end of the regular spring session. On May 31, 2018, both the House and Senate chambers completed approval of a package of legislation for fiscal year 2019, which begins July 1, 2018. Although additional unpaid expenses remain for pension and health insurance benefits from prior years, the fiscal year 2019 budget package does reflect this year’s spending and revenue to be balanced at around $38.5 billion. A little over half of this spending and revenue is dedicated to pensions, debt payments, Medicaid, and health insurance for state workers, which are all expenses that in large part are set by federal mandates and prior state laws. Some highlights of the fiscal year 2019 budget include reduced spending throughout state agencies, nearly 40% of which are through cuts to both the Department of Corrections and the Department of Human Services. Pension costs are also estimated to be reduced by up to $445 million, 85% of which is estimated to be the result of voluntary buyouts regarding automatic 3% annual benefit increases. Some spending increases involve the compensation costs of individuals providing social services. Additionally, colleges and universities received a two percent increase in funding along with a new state scholarship program to encourage students to attend school in Illinois with universities being asked to match state funding for the program. Early childhood education and Kindergarten through 12th grade schools received the five percent increase in funding that was envisioned in the education funding formula enacted last year.
