Kendall County has three referendum questions on the ballot, two of which have to do with county positions. Voters will be asked if they want to eliminate the county auditor and recorder positions. The third question asks whether voters want to support a $9 increase in the yearly telephone service surcharge, to pay for KenCom’s 911 emergency dispatch service. Here’s how those three questions will read:

Kendall County
1. Shall the elected Office of Kendall County Auditor be eliminated effective December 1, 2012?

2. Shall the elected Office of Recorder of Kendall County be eliminated effective December 1, 2012 and the functions and duties of that office continue to be performed by the Kendall County Clerk?  

3. Shall the County of Kendall impose an additional surcharge of up to $0.75 per month per network connection to the existing $0.75 surcharge (total not to exceed $1.50 per month) which surcharge will be added to the monthly bill you receive for telephone or telecommunications charges, for the purpose of improving a 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System?
