The Administration Department oversees various financial duties.  Under the direction of the Deputy County Administrator, these responsibilities include: 

• County Budget
• Financial Reporting
• Asset Management
• Accounts Payable

County Budget 

Administration is responsible for overseeing the annual budget process, developing a balanced budget, and monitoring financial activities in accordance with approved budgets. Budget personnel manage the financial and fiscal administration of all County departments and collaborate with elected officials to ensure effective implementation of budgeting and planning initiatives.  

Financial Reporting 

Administration prepares quarterly financial reports for the Finance and Budget Committee. These reports include year-to-date revenue, expenditures, and fund balances for each county fund. 

Asset Management 

Kendall County has established an Asset Policy to effectively manage the acquisition and disposition of its insured and capital assets. Insured assets include property of any value that the department or office considers necessary to be covered by insurance. Capital assets encompass properties valued at $5,000 or more, such as new construction projects, major renovations, and specialized projects related to County facilities, vehicles, equipment, technology hardware, and software. The Administration Department is responsible for tracking and reporting of these insured and capital assets, as well as coordinating the disposition of assets that are excess, obsolete, or no longer serviceable. 

Accounts Payable 

Administration conducts the bi-monthly accounts payable check run, processing over 11,000 invoices annually. Accounts payable personnel review and verify invoices, prepare checks and electronic fund transfers, maintain accurate and current vendor records, and coordinate required vendor-related reporting.
