DISCUSSION  
11.A. County Coroner Budget Discussion  
DuPage County Coroner, Judith Lukas, provided committee members with background  
information on the Coroner's Office and the services which the office and staff provide. Coroner  
Lukas stated that the last time there was an increase in headcount for Deputy Coroners was in  
2008, while the number of cases has increased by 73% since then. The cases have also become  
more complex and require more investigative work. Coroner Lukas is asking for an amendment  
to Chair Conroy's FY2026 recommended budget, to include one additional headcount and to  
increase the personnel budget line by $150,000 for the Coroner's Office. Chair Garcia stated that  
the board will take this request under consideration.  
11.B. County Clerk Budget Discussion  
Prior to the County Clerk Budget Discussion, Chair Garcia stepped down from her seat and Vice  
Chair Cahill took over the meeting.  
DuPage County Clerk, Jean Kaczmarek, notified committee members that the Clerk's Office will  
not be able to pay for expenses for the remainder of FY2025, nor will the office be able to pay  
for FY2026 expenses, with the funds that have been allocated for both fiscal years. Deputy Clerk,  
Adam Johnson, shared with the committee members various expense lines that do not have  
sufficient funding available. Deputy Clerk Johnson stated that the Clerk's Office wishes to work  
with the Finance Department to address these shortfalls. Committee members were given time to  
provide comments on the Clerk's budget.  
Once discussion was over, Chair Garcia resumed her seat.  
12.  
OLD BUSINESS  
Member Evans mentioned that The Community House is seeking funding in the amount of  
$25,000 to continue to pay for their Community Engagement Coordinator. The funds will be  
taken out of ARPA interest. By a show of hands, committee members gave their consensus to  
move forward with placing this item on a future agenda for approval.  
13.  
14.  
NEW BUSINESS  
Member Childress had a question related to funding for the Clerk's office and how that can  
impact voters. Staff will need to review the shortfalls to make a determination.  
ADJOURNMENT  
The meeting was adjourned at 10:14 AM.
