ATTEST: SHELLY HUGGINS, CITY CLERK STEVE FRATTINI, MAYOR The latest figures (as of 12/31/2025) for the open claims on the min/max insurance were received and are as follows: 2024 A claim from 2024 has been reopened as an employee is seeking a settlement. 2025 Currently there are six (6) open claims for 2025. The minimum loss for 2025 is $304,852. The city has paid $72,775 which leaves $232,077 before hitting the minimum loss amount. The year to date incurred as of 12/31/2025 for 2025 is $243,486. That leaves $61,366 for the city to incur before going over the minimum. Any overage (up to the maximum of $466,244) will have to be budgeted for in the 5/1/27-4/30/28 fiscal budget. 2026 Currently there is one (1) open claim for 2026. The city is still waiting on a further instruction from IMRF on how to proceed with the next phase of the IMRF audit. Our contact there has been great through the whole process! The preliminary budget is done. Carl has reviewed it, but to date 3/19/26 Carl, the Mayor and I have not been able to meet. This is mainly due to a software issue that has tied up a ton of my time this week. As soon as the three of us meet, a meeting with council will be scheduled to go over the budget. The budget must be passed at the April 13th meeting. All TIF payments were processed on this council meeting. Fund GL Account Bank Account Balance General Fund 100-000-11001 768022 (BOH) $2,824,461.44 Water Fund 200-000-11001 4002519 (FS) $1,430,354.27 Bank of Herrin (Water Payments) 200-000-11203 5001994 (BOH) $2,028.56 Meter Deposit Fund 200-000-12300 5100561 (FS) $15,973.53 Meter Deposit MMDA 200-000-12301 1703640 (FS) $446,225.86 Sewer Fund 300-000-11001 4001892 (FS) $1,471,840.58 Library Fund 400-000-11001 4001001 (FS) $173,969.30 Motor Fuel Fund 600-000-11001 768030 (BOH) $1,687,644.20 City Infrastructure 950-000-19104 5012880 (BOH) $351,026.49 TIF Funds 970-000-19107 4001628 (FS) $2,932,405.79 Downtown TIF 971-000-19108 4006325 (FS) $2,518,239.27 TIF III 972-000-19108 5035961 (BOH) $81,727.92 TIF 4 973-000-19108 5037840 (BOH) $118,372.53 TIF 5 974-000-19105 5041058 (BOH) $9,044.93 ARPA Funds 980-000-19115 5033837 (BOH) $178,444.00 Employee Health Benefit Fund 995-000-19110 5008956 (BOH) $1,321.79 K-9 Fund 996-000-11003 5027845 (BOH) $15,653.10 Police Equipment Fund 996-000-11006 5013763 (BOH) $49,115.65 Animal Control Donations 996-000-11008 5032083 (BOH) $32,073.78 Police Administrative Tow Fee 996-000-11010 5032261 (BOH) $31,442.50 Fire Station Account 996-000-11013 5039037 (BOH) $107,041.89 Pension Bond Reserves 996-000-11014 5039096 (BOH) $448,878.72 Herrin Police Forfeited Funds 996-000-19116 5034663 (BOH) $5,948.74 Police Evidence Account 996-000-19119 5034833 (BOH) $26,707.43 New Equipment Fund 996-000-19120 2276880 (FS) $97,175.24 Bonds 2016 Bond Beltz Lift Station 790-000-19112 5031532 (BOH) $30,342.06 2021 Bond Refinance 790-000-19114 5037832 (BOH) $553,395.90 2022 Pension Bond Account 790-000-19115 5039045 (BOH) $125.95 2023 Fire Station Bond Account 790-000-19116 5039894 (BOH) $180,555.80 Grants (Active) CDAP Housing 660-000-12030 4000209 (FS) $100.00 The following tax money has been received as of 2-19-26: MFT ($47,212.92), Replacement ($5,057.88) Sales ($263,397.86), Home Rule ($284,953.92), Use ($11,527.64), Income ($125,495.55), Telecom ($9,427.96) Gaming ($28,260.45), Cannabis ($1,428.11), and Auto ($48.22)  HERRIN FIRE DEPARTMENT 1609 South 13th.
