Okay,

Okay,

Who

our
meeting,
say
aye
aye
motion
Carrie!
Thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
let
me
just
say
song:
we're
ready
to
go.
C
C
We
have
a
project,
a
military
project
and
Our
intention
is
to
make
Kankakee
County
a
veteran
friendly
County
by
have
by
promoting
services
and
connections
for
PTSD
and
PTSD
related
suicide,
as
well
as
awareness
to
animal
cruelty,
especially
for
service
dogs
most
but
most
importantly,
teaching
children
about
about
military
history
and
about
what
America
is
all
about.
This
is
called
the
Ray
Ali
Memorial
project,
and
this
is
actually
a
military
Memorial
that
will
that
will
highlight
in
the
front
a
World
War
II
veteran.
C
His
name
is
Raymond
Ali,
who
was
a
who
was
a
resident
of
the
area.
He
was
a
World
War,
II
veteran
of
the
battle
of
latex
golf,
the
the
image
and
human
element
of
reality.
Ray
Ali
is
because
we
we
are
losing
about
234
World
War
II
veterans
per
day,
that
is
per
day.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
please
say
a
prayer
for
that
234,
World,
War,
II
veterans.
We
want
to
honor
them
by
building
This,
World
War
II
to
all
military
all
wars
and
conflicts
Memorial
in
Kankakee
County.
C
We
have
a
we
have.
We
have
planned
on
finishing
this
this
year,
July
4th
of
July,
but
because
of
the
covet
and
many
other
delays
we
are.
We
are
looking
into
building
this
and
finishing
with
unveiling
the
4th
of
July
of
2023..
It
will
be
a
six
foot
tall,
bronze
statue
of
the
young
20
year
old,
Ray
Ali,
with
his
dog
Eleanor,
who
was
lost
to
see
one
of
the
first
animal
cruelty.
His
dog
was
thrown
overboard
by
a
by
another
sailor
at
left
to
die.
C
So
we
are
going
to
use
this
as
a
center
point.
So
I
just
want
to
make
clear
clear
that
this
project
we
have
is
a
Grassroots
approach
by
veterans
and
private
citizens
and
we
have
a
acquired
donation
of
a
land
already
by
a
private
citizen,
and
we
are
supported
by
the
mayor
by
mayor
Curtis
of
Kankakee
that
we,
we
are
going
to
start
producing
military
parades
and
education
for
children,
military
education
by
veterans
and
also
using
this
as
a
centerpiece
to
connect
different
services
like
PTSD
and
and
the
like.
C
D
D
And
thank
you
all.
I
am
Brian
zazada
I'm.
Also
a
veteran
United
States
Marine
Corps
was
over
with
the
multinational
peacekeeping
forces
in
Beirut,
Lebanon
and
right
at
the
beginning
of
Desert
Shield
before
Desert
Storm
I
would
just
like
to
to
Echo
JoJo
sessions.
Comments
in
that
I
think
this
is
a
very
worthwhile
cause.
I
can't
I'm
I'm
commandant
of
the
whole
thing
if
you
will,
and
so
the
buck
stops
with
me,
so
to
speak.
D
A
Are
any
other
comments
from
public
comment?
Okay,
let's
go
forward,
then,
with
the
you
have
received
electronically,
the
minutes
from
October
18th
from
our
meeting
at
that
time.
As
you
remember,
we
did
not
meet
in
November.
So
that's
why
these
are
the
last
minutes,
so
yeah
as
you
review
them
Miss
Polk.
Would
you
like
to
move
that
we
accept
them?
A
Yes,
okay?
Second,
so
the
minutes
have
been
moved
and
seconded
all
in
favor
of
accepting
them
say
aye,
please
any
approach
or
no
motion
is
carried
next
turn
to
the
county
clerk's
report
on
your
screen.
You
notice
that
it's
a
more
complex
report
than
it
usually
is
because
it
includes
not
only
November
but
all
of
the
six
months
before
then
I.
A
D
A
A
E
A
A
So
what
I'd,
let
you
know,
what
all
these
in
these
receipts
for
a
marriage
license
all
the
things?
What
kinds
of
services
do
you
provide
sure
and
you
can
do
that
in
January
easily,
because
you
know
what
they
are
yeah
and
we've
seen
that
income
and
the
disbursements
and
we've
seen
the
balance
and
we've
seen
the
six
months,
but
in
January
we'll
say
what
exactly
when
people
are
lined
up
to
get
their
passport?
What's
going
on
sure?
E
As
you
may
have
seen,
we
had
school
board
filings
in
our
office,
started
last
Monday
the
December
the
12th,
and
ended
at
five
o'clock
last
night.
Anybody
that
was
in
line
for
school
board
for
the
same
school
district
is
eligible
for
a
lottery
position.
We
had
two
people
that
filed
for
Bradley
unit
district
61
that
were
there
before
8
30,
and
we
did
have
two
people
that
filed
within
the
last
hour
last
night
between
four
and
five
o'clock,
so
they're
eligible
for
the
last
spot
on
the
ballot.
E
So
we're
going
to
do
the
lottery
here
in
the
interest
of
transparency
and
and
making
sure
that
anybody
who
wanted
to
watch
us
on
the
YouTubes
would
be
able
to
do
so.
So
I
have
two
envelopes
in
here.
One
of
them
has
a
number
one,
and
one
of
them
has
the
number
two
and
and
Mrs
Webber.
If
you
would
be
so
kind
as
to
pick
one
of
those
two
envelopes
to
be
the
result
and
whichever
position
is
drawn.
E
E
So
this
is
Weber
drew
the
number
one
so
Teresa,
Terry,
goldwitzer
and
Bradley
school
district
will
be
the
top
spot
on
the
ballot.
Daniel
Wilder
will
be
the
second
spot
and
for
Kankakee
School
District,
111,
Susanna
Barone's
will
be
the
next
to
last
spot
and
Barbara
wells
will
be
the
last
spot
just
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
tricks
up
my
sleeve.
E
G
A
Okay,
we
have
next
the
Assessor's
report.
Mr
Blair
is
coming
up
and
in
the
case
in
in
your
folder
in
your
screen,
you
have
the
assessors
materials
and
what
I
appreciate
about
Mr
Blair
is
what
he's
done
for
us
is
he's
provided
an
overview
of
the
whole
year
in
one
page?
So
thank
you
for
that
so
Ms
Foster.
Would
you
would
you
move
that
we
accept
his
report?
Write
the
motion.
A
H
Well,
good
morning,
folks
I'd
just
like
to
go
over
a
little
bit
of
what
we're
finishing
up
for
the
year
and
then
I'll
go
over
the
the
annuals
the
overview
of
the
annual
cycle
very
quickly,
and
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
those
at
that
time.
This
morning,
we're
having
the
last
of
the
board
of
review
hearings
downstairs.
H
H
If
the
board
of
review
were
to
lower
too
much
value,
then
we
we
would
be
subject
to
a
state
multiplier.
I.
Don't
think
that,
given
the
number
of
appeals
we
were
at
about
230
for
the
year,
I,
don't
think
that
we're
going
to
need
Equalization
at
the
at
the
board
of
review
level,
but
I'll
still
do
the
math
and
make
sure
then
my
next
goal
is
to
have
the
board
of
review
adjourn
themselves
for
the
year
next.
H
H
If
I
could
move
quickly,
I
know
I
know:
we've
got
a
couple
of
meetings
this
morning,
I'm
going
to
move
quickly
into
the
overview
of
the
functions
of
of
our
office
and
I
kind
of
broke
it
into
quarters
of
the
year
so
that
you,
you
could
see
what
happens
in
each
quarter
of
the
year,
and
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
repeat
from
what
I
just
said.
You
know
rolling
devnet
to
the
new
year
we
recalculate
Farmland
values
distribute
the
assessment
books.
H
We
begin
the
mapping
functions,
the
splits
and
and
the
parcel
splits
and
consolidations
accept
Homestead
exemptions,
starting
in
January
and
February,
entering
Property
Transfers
and
ownership
changes
into
into
the
devnet
system,
and
you
know
once
once
the
clerk
sends
in
the
final
abstract
documents
that
I
give
in
December.
By
about
February,
we
get
a
a
certification
from
the
state
that
that
the
abstract
is
finalized.
H
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
at
in
the
first
quarter
of
the
year
as
we
move
into
April
and-
and
you
know,
into
the
springtime
we
reconcile
the
sales
ratio
study
from
the
prior
Year
from
2022
receive
official
documentation
from
the
state
that
they've
they've
approved.
All
of
those
things.
Of
course,
tax
bills
go
out
around
that
time
in
May.
So
we
answer
a
lot
of
tax
bill
questions
to
the
to
the
public.
H
We
perform
necessary
tax
bill,
Corrections
such
as,
if
exemptions
weren't
applied
for,
but
the
person
did
qualify
for
it.
We
can
add
it
on
things
like
that.
I'll
hold
the
annual
Farmland
Assessment
review
committee
meeting.
That's
something
that
statutorily
needs
to
happen
every
year
and
I
do
that
sometime
in
June
and
then
in
June.
We
start.
We
start
collecting
Township
assessment
books
and
assessment
changes
so
that
I
can
get
all
of
that
in
and
and
I'll
get
into
that
in
just
a
minute
as
I
move
into
Equalization
in
the
summer.
H
So
then
we
get
to
the
summer
months,
July
through
September,
finish,
collecting
Township,
Assessor
value
changes.
We
finished
the
parcel
mapping
for
the
year
I
equalize,
each
Township's
value
to
33
and
a
third
percent
of
fair
cash
value
in
accordance
with
the
Department
of
Revenue
standards.
That's
actually
part
of
the
con
state
constitution
as
well
that
that
Assessments
in
in
Illinois
other
than
Cook
County
are
to
be
at
33
and
a
third
percent
of
fair
cash
value.
H
H
So
moving
to
the
last
quarter
of
the
Year.
Very
quickly,
we
finished
accepting
assessment
appeals,
usually
right
around
Columbus
Day
right
right
in
that
second
week
of
October
We
Begin
the
board
of
review
tentative
decision
process
where
they
they
review
the
evidence
submitted
by
the
taxpayer
and
evidence
submitted
by
the
Township
Assessor
and
issue
a
tentative
decision.
H
We
hold
the
final
hearings
on
board
of
review
assessment
appeals
and
that's
what
we're
doing
today
and
we've
done
each
Tuesday
for
the
last
month
or
so,
and
then
again,
it's
getting
right
back
around
to
where
we're
at
right
now,
which
is
delivering
the
final
abstract
to
the
county
clerk
and
then
holding
the
annual
meeting
with
the
township
assessors
to
kind
of
finish
the
year.
So
I
I
went
through
that
kind
of
quickly.
I!
A
H
And
I'll
be
going
through
each.
You
know
this
is
a
very
quick
overview,
I'll
be
going
through
this
month
by
month
with
you
folks,
as
we
get
to
those
those
parts
of
the
cycle.
This
was
just
informative
to
try
to
let
you
know
what
my
office
does.
It's
not
meant
to
be
a
complete
list,
either
by
the
way
we're
we're
busy
almost
every
day
of
the
year.
So
thank.
A
H
That's
actually
that's
a
reimbursement.
The
townships
give
us
a
reimbursement
of
the
postage
that
we
that
we
incur
for
mailing
out
the
assessment
change
notices
for
the
year
on
anything,
any
property
whose
value
changed
due
to
something
other
than
my
Equalization.
So
if
the
Township
Assessor
made
a
change
to
a
value,
we
have
to
notify
the
the
taxpayer
by
mail
and.
H
I
H
Well,
our
office
does
not
assess
property
itself.
Thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
that
up.
Our
our
office
does
not
actually
assess
the
property
Township
assessors
that
originate
the
values.
We
collect
those
values
and
measure
that,
against
the
sales
ratio
study
to
see
and
to
ensure
that
we
get
to
33
and
a
third
percent
of
fair
cash
value
each
year
on
the
aggregate
of
the
Township's
value.
So
it's
not
when
I
apply
an
equalization
factor,
it's
kind
of
across
the
board.
H
It's
not
cherry
picking,
one
person's
property
and
then
saying
another
person
doesn't
deserve
it.
I
can't
really
do
that.
That's
what
the
township
does.
The
township
is
able
to
go
parcel
by
parcel
and
value
a
property
one
property
at
a
time.
So
I
think
that's
a
very
important
point.
Thank
you
for
for
bringing
that
up.
Mr
dealer.
A
H
G
F
G
A
B
K
K
Kind
of
low
compared
to
what
we've
been
doing
but,
as
you
all
know,
we
are
a
product
of
the
academy.
Yes,
we
have
no
control
over
people
buying
selling
refinancing
mortgaging
and
right
now
we're
seeing
mortgages
come
in
at
eight
percent,
so
I
think
everyone's,
probably
going
to
slow
down
a
little
bit.
There's
still
people,
though,
who
need
to
buy
homes
as
you
can
see
the
state
stamp
where
it
says:
State
stamps
that
41
938.50
is
a
reflection
of
one
dollar
per
thousand
of
transfers
that
came
into
the
county
for
the
month.
K
So
we
collect
all
these
funds
and
then
we
kind
of
disperse
These
funds
to
different
entities
and
a
couple
of
them
go
to
the
state
of
Illinois.
Some
of
my
funds
go
to
the
gis.
Department
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
crosses
over
and
is
in
that
committee
too,
but
so
we
fund
the
gis
Department
through
our
recording
fees.
We
have
a
total
of
57
per
document,
that's
recorded
and
then
that's
broken
up
and
dispersed
County
general
fund
a
little
bit
to
the
County
Recorders
fund,
GIS
state
of
Illinois
Department
of
Revenue.
K
J
Me
that's
okay,
so
the
last
page
where
it
says
calendar
year
where
you
have
the
tables
at
for
each
year.
Yes,
that
last
one
for
2021
the
decimal.
Where
does
it
go?
It's
just
18
18
000.
yeah
yeah,
so
it
would
go
after
the
eight
but
shouldn't
we
have
that
in
there.
If
for
the
finance,
do
you
have
a
document
totals.
K
A
K
House
right,
so
we
electronically
we
receive
documents
electronically
through
our
vending
software,
as
well
as
through
a
third
party
vendor
who
is
a
facilitator
for
electronic
recordings
through
real
estate
companies,
title
companies,
lawyers
offices
and
they
oh
I'm,
sorry
they
can
submit
their
documents
electronically
to
us
and
we
receive
them.
We
record
them
and
then
there
electronically
sent
back
to
them.
K
K
A
K
Unfortunately,
not
so
just
a
little
history
in
first
and
foremost,
I'd
like
to
invite
anyone
and
everyone
to
come
into
my
office,
I'd
love
to
show
you
around
we're
very
proud
of
the
books
and
the
information
we
have
in
our
office
and
we'd
be
happy
to
give
you.
You
know
us
a
tour,
but
eventually
we
are.
Our
goal
is
to
have
a
little
bit
of
an
open
house,
because,
with
the
support
of
the
County
Board,
we
have
been
undergoing
a
project
of
re-imaging
all
the
grantor
grantee
books
from
1883
forward.
K
K
So
when
that
comes,
and
we
have
everything
reorganized,
we
want
to
have
a
little
bit
of
an
open
house
and
show
off
all
the
work
we've
been
doing
along
with
that
project.
We
also
under
when
a
12-year
back
scanning
project,
where
we've
imaged
12
years
of
microfilm
and
have
put
it
into
our
computer
system
and
when
my
staff
is
not
working
on
current
work,
we're
working
on
what's
called
back
log
and
we
have
completed
almost
50
000
documents.
So
we
had
172
000
documents
that
we
back
scanned.
K
A
Christmas
we'll
turn
to
our
the
seventh
item
on
the
on
the
report.
Is
the
animal
control
Carrie
miss
Larry
to
come
forward?
We
have
a
monthly
report,
so
Mr
Smith.
Would
you
move
that
we
accept
her
report?
Okay,
misspoke.
Will
you
second,
that
yeah
sure
will
so
you
have
in
your
screen
two
two
parts
to
the
report:
the
complex
first
side
with
all
her
totals
and
money
and
things
like
that?
Second
side
is
more
enumerating.
So
what
would
you
highlight
on
your
report.
L
We
continue
to
take
in
more
and
more
animals
each
day,
our
population's
still
High,
it's
just
it's
hard
to
get
animals
adopted
currently
and
the
shelters
and
rescues
are
still
currently
full.
So
it's
just
it's
just
hard.
We
have
a
large
population
at
our
facility
right
now
and
just
stuck
all
over
the
United
States.
It's
the
same
way.
All
of
them
are.
L
L
Have
done
really
well
on
cats
this
year
the
rescues
have
been
able
to
take
the
cats.
A
lot
in
the
past
has
been
opposite.
We've
been
stuck
with
cats,
but
this
year
it's
been
great
as
soon
as
we
get
cats
in
we
put
them
on
their
stray
hold,
we've
had
them
and
then
they're
out
the
door
right
away.
There's.
L
L
Lot
of
them
were,
a
lot
of
them
are
Behavior
the
so
they
don't
pass
the
assessment.
If
you
don't
want
them
in
your
backyard
or
your
neighbor's
house,
we
don't
adapt
them
out,
so
we
don't
want
them
out
in
the
population
if
they
have
any
kind
of
aggression,
food
aggression
to
humans
to
other
dogs,
and
things
like
that.
We
don't
want
the
mountain
population,
so.
L
A
L
A
L
Do
it
has
been
nice
that
we're
still
waiting
to
hear
back
from
a
slide
in
on
the
truck
that
for
the
22,
the
white
truck
so
I've
been
driving
that,
in
the
meantime,
rather
than
sitting
there
we're
still
waiting
here
on
a
slide?
And
last
I
heard
it
was
18
months
to
two
years
for
supply
and
demand?
It's
unfortunate
that
we
have
to
wait
that
long,
so
I
will
be
once
the
New
Year
rolls
over
I
will
be
talking
to
key
trucks,
see
if
they
can
manufacture
something
for
us.
A
The
last
thing
won't
be
a
report
right
now,
but
just
each
of
you
on
the
committee
has
a
copy
of
these
photos
that
Jasmine
took
when
we
had
the
open
house
on
November
4th.
So
this
is
only
an
A
Taste
of
what's
to
come
in
the
next
two
years
of
updating
a
report
of
how
is
it
going,
and
you
know
seeing
this
is
a
good
view
of
your
staff
and
all
the
workers
that.
L
Were
there
so
we
did
actually
meet
with
the
Architects
a
couple
weeks
ago
went
over
room
by
room
in
the
facility.
What
we
want
to
have
in
each
room
with
our
veterinarian,
a
shelter
man
manager
and
then
we
they
submitted
us
a
new
sketch,
which
is
nothing
really
has
changed.
Moves
at
Rooms
have
moved
around.
We
submitted
back
to
them
some
changes
and
we're
waiting
to
hear
from
them.
I
talked
to
them
recently.
L
L
A
L
F
L
F
L
A
G
L
Okay,
it
is
yep,
so
we
currently
actually
one
year
ago,
about
a
week
ago,
we
received
a
guinea
pig
in
a
box
that
was
taped
up.
He
currently
lives
in
our
facility
right
now,
so
he
has
his
own
cage
in
our
office.
I
was
built
a
shelf
for
him
and
he
is
spoiled
rotten,
so
that
would
be
considered
a
pocket
pet.
It's.
L
I
I
A
M
I
I
I
had
something
for
awac,
but
first
I
did
want
to
mention
that
some
dogs
are
bred
to
be
in
the
snow,
so
maybe
don't
call
Animal
Control
if
it's
like
an
Alaskan
Malamute
out
in
the
backyard
please
from
somebody
whose
wife
might
be
on
call
this
holiday
season.
So
so
anyway,
the
I
was
getting
phone
calls
and
actually
my
next
door
neighbor
came
across
the
street
to
talk
to
me
about
the
lack
of
an
emergency
vet
in
the
area.
I
They
have
to
drive
to
Mokena
in
the
off
hours,
I
I
kind
of
told
them
that
it
was
kind
of
a
private.
You
know
sector
issue
that
nobody
wants
to
do
that
here
locally,
but
I
thought
I
might
throw
it
to
the
to
the
awac
to
see
if
there
can
be
a
discussion
that
happened
about
oh
I,
don't
know
rotating
on
call
something
to
where
they
at
least
look
at
it.
