Description
Community Services Committee Meeting 7/18/2017 9:00 AM
A
B
A
After
receiving
none
we'll
move
on
to
the
approval
of
the
june
20th
2017
community
service
minutes,
I
need
a
motion
to
approve
mrs
polk.
Mrs
parker,
with
a
second
all
in
favor
opposed
motion,
carries
I'd,
look
for
a
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda
to
allow
the
old
business
to
come
before
any
of
the
new
business.
Can
I
get
a
motion
to
allow
that
mrs
parker,
mrs
dunbar,
with
a
second?
Can
I
get
a
all
in
favor?
A
C
Thank
you
for
your
flexibility,
mr
chairman
and
the
committee.
I
have
a
meeting
that
I
have
to
be
at
for
9
30..
So
that's
why
I
asked
to
go
first.
It
shouldn't
be
that
it
should
be
very
brief.
C
A
Set
first
by
mr
victory,
second
by
mr
payton,
all
in
favor
of
mrs
parker,
mrs
dunbar,
with
mr
wheeler
forming
the
subcommittee
to
sort
through
applications.
I
guess
you
would
say
and
bring
back
record
and
bring
back
recommendations
for
this
committee.
I
need
a
voice
vote
with
all
in
favor.
Aye
opposed
okay
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
wheeler.
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
move
on
to
our
regular
scheduled
recorder's
office.
Mrs
gad
boyce.
A
D
E
Want
to
be
on
the
record
good
morning
again,
there
was
supposed
to
be
discussion
about
the
raising
of
the
recorders
fees
based
on
the
legislation
that
was
passed.
I
know
that
the
state's
attorney's
office
has
the
language
written.
We
were
hoping
the
governor
would
have
signed
that
by
now.
As
of
this
morning,
we
still
have
no
signature.
It
is
on
his
desk.
E
We
have
three
different
entities,
also
helping
with
us
pushing
to
get
that
going.
E
We
don't
know
of
any
potential
hold
ups
as
to
why
it's
not
being
signed
so
just
for
your
information,
but
that
language
will
be
coming
so
that
you
all
will
be
have
an
opportunity
to
review
it.
It
does
have
to
be
on
public
notice
for
four
weeks
before
it
can
be
enacted.
So.
F
A
I
think
we're
gonna,
I
think,
we're
gonna.
I
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
pending
increase
of
the
recorder's
fees
if
and
when
signed
by
the
governor,
mr
payton,
mrs
dunbar,
all
in
favor.
Oh
I
get.
We
have
to
have
a
we're,
not
we're
spending
man,
okay,
all
in
favor
all
opposed.
E
Thank
you,
okay,
other
than
that
we've
been
a
very
busy
office,
as
you
can
see
by
the
numbers
that
have
been
coming
in
and
just
to
date.
Actually,
as
of
yesterday,
we've
had
over
forty
thousand
dollars
in
state
stamps.
E
E
So
good
things
there
and
we're
staying
on
top
of
it
and
contin
continuing
our
backlog,
and
I
failed
to
do
this
at
the
last
committee
meeting,
but
always
know
that
if
you
ever
want
to
come
in
and
better
understand
what
we
do
in
my
office,
any
one
of
us
would
be
more
than
happy
to
take
you
through
the
process
to
see
it
and
better
understand
what
we
do,
because
it's
a
pretty
important
job
for
each
and
every
one
of
us
who
are
property
owners
or
landowners
or
homeowners.
B
B
B
B
A
H
Good
morning,
folks,
how
are
you
this
morning?
How
are
you
good?
I
just
have
a
few
things
to
go
over
with
you
this
morning.
Some
of
these
things
have
been
lingering
for
a
couple
of
months,
because
I
know
you
can't
hear
me.
H
Some
of
these
have
been
pending
for
a
couple
of
months,
because
I
I
don't
believe
we
had
a
may
meeting
and
then
I
wasn't
able
to
be
here
last
month
in
june,
so
kind
of
bear
with
me
for
a
moment
here
just
wanted
to
update
the
committee
that
we
did
reconcile
our
2016
sales
ratio
study
with
the
department
of
revenue
and,
along
with
that,
I
was
able
to
finalize
the
percentage
change
required
for
each
jurisdiction,
and
I
believe
that
is
in
your
packet.
H
So
if
you
would
just
kind
of
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what's
going
on
with
with
assessment
values,
going
either
increasing
or
decreasing,
you'll
note
in
the
percentage
change
column
all
the
way
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
that
that
grid,
most
townships
or
jurisdictions
are
are
going
to
see
an
increase
of
a
couple
percent
or
so
for
the
non-farm
weighted
values
and
the
county
as
a
whole
looks
to
go
up
2.11
percent
this
year
through
equalization.
H
When
I
get
to
that
point,
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
let
the
committee
know
that,
as
far
as
assessments
are
concerned,
I
I
think
the
the
market
seems
to
be
strengthening
and
that
kind
of
piggybacks
off
of
what
lori
just
said
with
you
know
her
intake
of
of
fees
from
the
recorder's
office.
So
I
think
the
market
is
trending
a
little
bit
upward.
It's
a
good
sign
for
the
community.
H
Okay,
also
in
the
last
couple
months,
I
did
receive
the
the
updated
productivity
index
values
per
acre
for
farmland
and
I
did
schedule
a
farmland
assessment
review
committee
meeting
here
in
this
building
tomorrow
afternoon.
So
I'll
be
going
over
that
with
the
farmland
assessment
review
committee
and
with
that,
what.
H
It's
well
1
30.
On
the
second
floor,
just
adjacent
to
the
the
recorder's
office.
H
And
that's
really
a
fairly
routine
meeting
that
we
go
through
each
year
to
approve
the
use
of
the
already
certified
pi
values
given
to
us
by
the
department
of
revenue,
but
as
part
of
that
meeting,
because
there
is
some
concern
with
farmland
owners
throughout
the
community
and
really
throughout
the
state.
We're
going
to
have
some
discussion
on
solar
energy
as
well.
H
I've
been
working
at
the
state
level
on
solar
energy
valuation
and
all
of
the
things
that
are
are
a
concern,
and
that
was
going
to
be
a
part
of
my
talk.
This
morning,
too,
I'm
going
to
be
headed
next
week
to
bloomington
to
talk
with
a
group
of
supervisors
of
assessments,
as
well
as
a
renewable
energy
expert
at
the
illinois
state
university,
so
that
we
can
better
understand
the
projects
coming
in
potentially
in
2018
and
beyond,
with
with
solar
energy
utility
grade
projects.
H
H
H
But
I
expect
that
to
wrap
up
here
in
the
next
two
to
three
weeks
and
I'd
have
all
of
the
numbers
from
the
townships
and
then
I
can
go
ahead
and
equalize
and
we
can
get
ready
to
publish.
So
we
look
like
we're
basically
on
the
same
course
as
we
were
the
last
couple
of
years
and
and
I
look
forward
to
keeping
that
timeline
very
tight,
just
just
as
I
have
the
last
couple
of
years.
H
So
with
that
I'll
open
it
up
to
any
questions.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
for
me,
I'd
be
happy
to
talk.
I
You,
mr
chairman,
good
morning
eric
the
there
was
a
lot
that
went
into
effect
just
recently
about
the
the
solar
energy.
Where
individuals
can,
I
guess,
tap
into
the
solar
energy
project.
Do
you
have
any
information
regarding
that
information.
I
H
And
actually
that's
it's
good
that
you
brought
that
up.
That's
part
of
the
discussion
next
week
in
bloomington
it.
I
believe
that
bill
covers
all
kinds
of
things,
from
from
tax
credits,
to
the
companies
that
are
constructing
the
projects
to
to
what
they
consider
to
be
a
utility
grade,
project
which
is
important
to
us.
H
One
thing
I
neglected
to
mention
is
that
I'm
working
with
a
group
of
supervisors
of
assessments
throughout
the
state
to
potentially
propose
some
legislation
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
standardized
when
we
go
to
value
these
things
for
assessment
purposes,
but
I
would
have
more
information
on
that
bill.
Sir,
probably
next
month
after
I
meet
in
bloomington
next
week,.
I
Okay,
I
know
they
said
it
already
passed,
I
know
so
it
should
be.
I
guess
that
in
this
pilot
state
of
of
infantry,
as
far
as
getting
kicked
off
the
ground.
C
J
J
Yeah
and
we've
assembled
a
a
report
that
dan
passed
out
a
comprehensive
financial
and
services
report.
You
know
over
the
course
of
many
many
meetings
over
this
when
you've
been
on
on
committee
and
even
over
the
past
years,
I've
presented
and
discussed
the
various
office
functions
that
we
do
talked
about.
Some
of
the
budgets
talked
about
some
of
the
issues
in
in
bits
and
pieces
in
the
county
clerk's
office
as
they
relate
to
the
you
know
particular
meeting
that
we
were
that
was
being
held.
J
Well,
you
know
we
could
write
volumes
on
some
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about,
but
what
we
have
assembled
is
some
information
that
we
put
together
those
functions
that
maybe
will
help
you
better
understand
and
track
some
of
the
responsibilities
of
the
office,
and
we
put
this
all
together
in
one
concise
report.
J
J
Yeah
and
ryan's
been
a
great
addition
this
summer,
so
dan
hendrickson
was
the
source
of
much
of
this
material
and
is
a
wealth
of
information
in
terms
of
some
of
the
stats
that
we
pointed
out,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
everything,
we'll
let
you
I'll!
Let
you
digest
it,
and
maybe
next
month
we'll
come
back
and
have
a
test
or
something.
J
Four
and
five,
it
kind
of
shows
the
county
clerk's
history
of
revenue
over
expenditures.
What's
nice
about
this
report,
is
it
gives
you
a
10-year
perspective
on?
You
know
some
of
the
functions
some
of
the
volume
some
of
the
dollars
spent?
J
I'll,
let
you
I'll
be
slow.
We've
also
ryan
generated
some
us
some
statistics
nationwide,
and
you
can
see
how
we
compare
here
in
kankakee,
county
to
stats
nationwide
in
illinois
and
nationwide.
I
think.
J
I
was
impressed
on
page
six
to
you
know
after
some
figures,
if
you
look
on
the
in
under
vital
records,
this
was
my
thing.
I
wanted
to
know
how
many
records
we
had
in
the
vault
of
birth,
death
and
marriage
records.
How
many
paper
records
we
have,
and
I
want
you
to
know.
We
have
403
401
records
in
the
in
that
office
plus
now
they're
all
paperless.
So
you
know
we're
over
20
some
thousand
records
electronically.
So
we
we
don't
want
to
lose
any
any
birth
or
death
or
marriage
record.
So.
J
You
know
we
are
progressing
with,
and
dan
can
speak
to
to
some
of
this
after
I
point
out
a
few
things,
but
we
are
progressing
with
our
our
image
project
to
put
resolutions
on
online,
and
this
report
too.
I
think
dan's
going
to
put
this
on
the
website
too
available
for
everybody.
J
We
are
on
page
15,
you
know
we
talk
about
some
of
our
training
programs
that
we're
really
wanted
to.
You
know
make
people
aware
of.
We
had
a
programs
and
we
can-
and
we
will
continue
that
program.
This
fall
where
we
work
with
schools
and
partner
with
the
schools
to
have
an
election
program
where
students
in
the
middle
grade
schools,
can
vote
on
election
equipment
and
and
see
democracy
in
action
based
on
some
of
the
issues
in
their
schools.
J
J
J
On
page
24,
we
talk
about
some
of
the
work
that
we
do
in
the
tax
redemptions
and
extensions.
J
Extension,
tax,
extensions
from
a
historical
perspective:
if
you
look
at
the
pie
chart
to
what,
at
the
top
what
it
was
current
year,
2016
extensions
and
what
it
was
10
years
ago,
and
that
you
know
that
portion
hasn't
changed
a
lot
a
lot.
It's
pretty
consistent.
So
in
terms
of
who
gets
what
that's.
J
And
then
the
the
last
page
backs
up
some
of
the
actual
figures
with
the
percentages.
So
it's
a
little
bit
to
unders
better
to
understand
in
terms
of
the
volume
that
we
do
so
I'm
pleased
to
present
you
this
report
and
you
know,
for
information
for
your
purposes.
It
kind
of
puts
together
in
a
concise
fashion,
of
what
we
do,
what
it
costs,
the
volume
that
we
do
and
hopefully
that'll
be
a
little
more
information
for
you.
I'd
like
maybe
dan
to
to
comment
on
some.
K
Well,
I
I
believe
that
you
touched
on
all
the
all
the
talking
points
that
I
was
going
to
to
mention.
Certainly
I
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
should
be
a
point
for
all
of
us
to
look
at
is
the
amount
of
increase
in
early
voting.
K
That's
going
to
be
a
trend
that
is
not
going
to
subside
so
making
sure
that
there's
adequate
space
and
time
for
those
to
take
care
of
those
early
voters
is
critical.
A
K
Election.
Okay,
I
think,
if
you
look
on
the
data
there,
we've
got
data
going
back
further,
but
you
know
it
used
to
be
that
you
had
to
have
a
reason
to
vote
absentee
yeah
and
when
that
went
away,
things
started
to
to
exponentially
increase
yeah.
I
see
the
spike
in
that
right.
A
J
We,
I
think
dan
had
just
dropped
me,
a
note
that
he's
going
to
meet
with
schools
this
later
this
week.
K
On
thursday,
we'll
be
meeting
with
dr
murphy
and
we'll
be
going
over
the
the
preliminary
steps
for
the
school
election
project
really
critical,
you
know
it's
it's
one
of
those
things
that
you
do
to
for
our
seventh
and
eighth
graders
throughout
the
county
to
you
get
them
in.
I
don't
wanna,
use
the
word
indoctrinated
but
introduced
to
the
process
so
that
they
can
understand
that
you
know
the
importance
of
voting,
because
what
they're
voting
on
for
them
there.
There
is
some
significance
to
it.
J
You
know
we
and
if
you
read
that
report
you'll
see
that
you
know
we
did
a
study
and
we
found
that
the
students
that
participated
in
the
program
had
a
higher
rate
of
voting
and
actually
that
that
study
was
recognized
both
at
the
election
center
and
in
international
recognition.
J
In
terms
of
the
work
that
you
know
that
we
have
done
with
schools
in
kanke
county,
so
yeah,
a
lot
of
people
have
participated
in
that
and
there's
been
some
good
partnerships.
So
anything
else,
ryan,
mr
vickery.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
bruce
the
early
voting
that
has
some
cost
to
it.
J
Well,
the,
as
you
know,
in
in
2016,
we
had
mandates
to
provide
not
only
for
same-day
registration
but
extended
hours
for
early
voting,
where
the
eight
days
before
the
election,
I
think
we
were
open
up
open
the
total
of
91
hours.
We
have
to
go
until
7
p.m.
J
The
week
before
we
have
to
do
saturday
hours
14
hours
over
the
weekend
and
sunday
hours
and
monday,
the
tough
part
of
it
is
is
we're
open
until
seven
o'clock,
the
monday
before
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
office
closes
at
seven
o'clock.
It
means
the
office
closes
about
nine
o'clock
because
you
got
to
process
all
of
those,
and
then
you
know
back
at
the
office
at
4
30
in
the
morning.
So
with
that
is
a
is
a
cost
in
terms
of
overtime
cost.
We
do
have
early
voting
sites.
J
You
know
we're
mandated
for
the
permanent
early
voting
site
in
the
county
clerk's
office.
We
have
temporary
sites
in
in
two
locations.
We
do
that
to
help
with
the
volume
of
turnout
in
the
precincts,
because
we
have
consolidated
those
precincts
to
make.
For
you
know,
we've
saved
some
money,
other
costs
associated
with
early
voting,
I
mean
just
strictly
the
volume.
J
K
The
extent
of
the
early
voting
hours
you
know,
the
ballots
that
are
here
as
opposed
to
the
ballots
are
at
the
polling.
Place
is
pretty
much
a
wash,
but
the
the
amount
of
time
that
that
you
know
we're
required
to
be
open.
The
there
is
an
actual
cost
to
that.
Yeah.
J
K
Time
that
we
spend
out
at
the
satellite
locations,
you
know,
but
it's
a
cost
that
we
believe
is
worth
the
the
expense
that
we
have
in
order
to.
You
know
provide
that
service
to
the
public.
J
J
So
you
know
there's
also
advertising
costs
we're
required
to
publish
a
newspaper
publications
every
week
before
you
know
within
four
the
four
weeks
before
the
election,
so
publication
costs
are
pretty
significant
in
terms
of
advertising
that
we
are
open
for
early
voting.
I
Speaking
along
the
lines
of
advertising,
do
we
utilize
the
daily
journal,
the
hero,
the
city
news?
What
are
we
generally
advertising
as
far
as
that's
concerned?
Well,.
J
What
we
try
to
do
is
we
try
to
you
know.
My
goal
is
to
reach
as
every
voter
in
in
kinky
county
every
person
in
kinky
county
and
not
everybody
reads
the
journal
or
not.
Everybody
reads
the
moments
progress
reporter,
but
what
we
try
to
do
is
is
publish
at
least
the
notice
of
of
election
to
let
people
know
in
in
all
the
papers.
Now
that's
a
little
costly,
but
it
does
reach.
J
You
know
many
people,
however,
when
it
comes
to
complete
information,
we've
consolidated
information
into
our
voter
guide
so
that
we
put
all
the
information,
the
polling
places
into
one
voter
guide.
We
have
that
voter
guide,
the
journal
publishes
that
and
we
have
that
voter
guide
available
at
the
at
the
office
for
people
to
pick
up-
and
you
know
we
try
to
get
that
out
to
as
many
places
as
we
can.
I
Okay,
now
do
we
utilize
the
public
access
channel,
which
is
free,
channel
4
here
to
put
things
on.
J
You
know
what
we
have
done
in
the
past.
We
have
used
that
and
we've
used
the
mantino
channel,
the
it's
been
it
it's
been.
We
did
use
comcast
to
put
results
on,
but
it's
less
reliable
because
it
doesn't
meet.
I
mean
it
doesn't
reach
all
the
people
in
the
county.
What
we
do
is
our
website.
J
We
have
used
a
tool
that
the
we've
partnered
with
the
daily
journal
to
send
out
social
media
in
terms
of
voting,
how
to
vote
with
the
new
poll
pads
and
that
is
emailed
out
to
too
many
people.
Social
media,
I
think,
is
the
big
thing
that
we
try
to
use.
J
But
we
try
to
reach
you
know
the
radio
is
really
instrumental
in
terms
of
getting
messages
out
about
voting.
So
we
try
to
touch
all
forms
of
media
to
get
that
message
out.
But
if
you
have
any
other
ideas
you
know
we
would
certainly
welcome
that.
We've
gone
as
far
as
even
putting
posters
in
libraries.
J
You
know
because
people
get
their
information
in
different
in
different
fashions
and
formats.
J
We
do
use
mobile
apps
on
our
election
night
reporting
it's
mobile
friendly,
so
we
are
attuned
to
you,
know
mobile
applications
for
putting
out
information,
and
I
think
we've
had
some
good
responses
from
people
that
have
viewed
our
website
with
their
mobile
phone
in
terms
of
voting
online
or
with
their
cell
phone.
You
know
for
probably
four
or
five
years
you
know.
We've
I've
talked
to
really
people
that
have
done
that
in
different
in
pilot
projects.
J
Everyone
counts,
as
a
was
a
company
that
initiated
that
in
some
countries
hawaii
a
few
places.
I
don't
see
that
happening
in
in
my
future.
D
J
J
We
are
attuned
to
you
know.
Issues
of
cyber
security
and
dan
is
is
fully
on
top
of
that
on
that
issue,
but
thank.
D
J
G
G
First
of
all,
I
do
want
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
going
to
ask
to
table
one
of
the
agenda
items
on
the
new
software.
I
have
a
couple
I.t
questions
or
bugs
to
work
out,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
all
okay
before
I
go
ahead
and
present
it
to
the
committee,
so
hopefully
I
can
bring
it
back
next
month.
You.
B
G
So
I'm
excited
about
it
and
I
hope
that
we
can
do
it.
It
will
certainly
bring
in
an
opportunity
for
the
community
be
more
engaged
in
online
with
with
our
our
software
and
with
our
website.
So
I'm
excited.
I
hope
I
can
bring
it
back
next
month,
but
are
there
any
questions
on
the
report
for
me
today.
A
M
G
The
the
bites
are
up
significantly
we've
seen.
I
think
I've
reported
for
the
last
couple
months
that
we've
seen
a
lot
of
of
dog
on
dog
aggression,
which
then
you
know
you've
got
people
intervening
to
try
to
stop
it,
which
can
sometimes
result
into
a
bite,
but
our
bats
have
just
you
know:
we've
been
dealing
with
bats,
usually
august
and
september
are
heavy
bat
months.
G
Excuse
me,
but
we've
been
seeing
them
for
the
last
few
months,
and
I
can
tell
you,
since
the
since
june
28th
we've
had
three
positive
bats
in
kankakee
county
for
rabies.
Two
dogs
have
been
put
on
a
six-month
quarantine.
G
They
had
to
be
boosted
immediately.
One
dog
had
lapsed
by
only
a
few
days,
but
had
only
had
one
rabies
vaccine
and
I
called
down
to
speak
with
dr
austin
at
idph.
She
they
referred
me
to
the
head.
Vet
at
the
department
of
ag
spoke
with
dr
ernst.
A
couple
of
times
even
tried
to
plead
the
case.
A
little
bit
for
the
dog
that
had
only
been
out
of
you
know
expired
by
a
few
days,
but
he
said
no,
luckily
they're
able
to
do
that
at
home.
G
Otherwise
they
would.
You
know
the
the
worst
case
scenario,
which
is
the
preferred
is
to
put
the
animal
down.
These
are
loved
animals.
These
are
family
members,
but
it
it
just.
You
know
it's
that
that
reminder
there
that
you've
you've
got
to
keep
your
pets
vaccinated.
Rabies
is
out
there.
G
I
think
I
reported
that
last
month,
while
we're
only
seeing
bat
rabies,
we
are
in
a
center
spot,
where
coming
from
the
north
and
up
from
the
south
and
over
from
the
east,
we've
got
both
raccoon
and
skunk
rabies
coming
our
way.
So
I
have
spoke
with
the
health
department
to
see
if
they
wanted
to
do
a
press
release
on
that.
I
think
they
indicated
they
would
usually.
I
leave
that
in
the
health
department's
hands.
If
they
want
my
assistance,
then
I'm
certainly
there
for
that.
F
G
Know
we're
responding
to
calls
as
they
come
in
loose
dogs,
welfare
checks.
You
know
when
you
get
your
extreme
temperatures,
either
hot
or
cold.
It's
going
to
bring
a
need
for
us
to
get
out
there
and
intervene
on
why
people
aren't
doing
the
right
thing,
but
a
lot
of
times
it's
it's
dogs
running
at
large
pit
bulls
by
no
guests
are
the
number
one
dog
in
the
shelter,
probably
nationwide,
and
you
know,
probably
a
decade
or
so
ago
it
was
everything.
Was
a
lab
or
lab
mix
back
in
the
70s.
G
You
had
your
you
know.
You
had
different
decades
have
brought
the
dobermans
the
shepherds,
the
well.
The
pits
are
here
and
they're
here
to
stay
and
they
can
be
really
wonderful
dogs,
but
any
dog
if
it's
over
bred
and
overpopulated
and
poorly
bred
becomes
sometimes
a
nuisance
or
not
the
nicest
dog
in
the
neighborhood
and-
and
I
it
doesn't
matter-
I
mean
chihuahuas
right
now
are
the
same
way.
G
California
is
overrun
with
chihuahuas,
and
we
we
see
so
many
chihuahuas
where
17
years
ago
we
hardly
seen
little
dogs
at
all,
and
so
it
doesn't
really
matter
whether
you
have
all
choirs
or
all
labs
or
all
pit
bulls.
When
you
have
an
over
abundance
of
any
one,
you
have
a
hard
time
placing
them
so.
F
G
Some
somewhat
I've
we've
even
seen
the
village
bradley.
Let
us
go
a
little
more
often.
We
still
certainly
have
that
hurdle
of
being
able
to
promptly
respond
to
the
citizen
when
they
call
us
and
they
still
aren't
letting
us
really
handle
cats.
Unless
you
know
one
is
maybe
hit
by
car
or
something
you
know
real
urgent
of
that
nature.
G
M
L
G
As
you
know,
the
the
big
puppy
mill
that
was
in
our
area,
that
was
that
we
intervened
on
in
2015,
is
still
an
ongoing
court
case.
G
However,
that
prompted
stricter
ordinances
for
us
on
that
kennel
license
and
hopefully
will
discourage
folks
from
wanting
to
have
such
a
big
operation,
at
least
in
our
neck
of
the
woods,
and
if
they
do
want
to
do
that,
then
we
want
them
to
do
best
practice.
You
know,
I
hope
people,
I'm
not
a
hundred
percent
against
somebody
that
wants
to
be
a
responsible,
reputable
breeder.
G
There
are
a
lot
of
breeds
out
there
that
we
all
love
and
are
near
and
dear
to
our
hearts.
We
probably
you
know
many
of
us
could
say:
there's
one
breed
over
another,
that's
just
a
real
favorite
for
whatever
traits
that
they
have,
but
it's
that
that
ability
to
do
that
responsibly
for
the
all
the
right
reasons
and
not
irresponsibility
for
all
the
wrong
reasons,
and
that
happens
way
too
much.
G
I
just
wanted
to
make
one
notation
that,
while
our
you
know
the
numbers
that
we
animals
that
we've
handled
they're
up
for
the
month
and
up
for
the
year,
our
euthanasia
rate
stays
about
the
same
and
again
we're
not
euthanizing
happy
healthy
animals,
animals
that
can
be
put
up
for
adoption
or
transfer
to
other
organizations.
G
Our
euthanasia
numbers
come
from
animals
that
are
surrendered
to
us,
requested
by
an
owner
to
provide
that
service.
If
that
animal
is
old
and
sick
or
injured,
or
you
know
whatever
reason
that
they
want
that,
and
yes,
there
are
times
if
they
come
in.
If
we
feel
that
maybe
we
can
intervene,
we'll
ask
them
that,
but
ultimately
it
is
still
their
decision,
and
I
have
to
respect
that.
I
I
certainly
can't
can
say
that
that
doesn't
happen
very.
G
Very
rarely
would
somebody
come
in
and
want
us
to
put
a
healthy
young
adoptable
animal
down,
and
you
know
the
the
bats
again
are
up,
but
really
what
were
the
numbers
that
drive?
Our
euthanasia
are
rabies
observation
animals
involved
in
bites
that
people
have
decided.
I
don't
want
to
take
that
liability
anymore,
severely
sick
or
injured
animals.
G
You
know
animals
that
pose
a
threat
to
put
back
out
into
the
community
with
aggression
and
the
resources
that
that
we
certainly
don't
have,
and
don't
want
to
take
on
that
liability
of
putting
that
animal
back
out
there
and
having
it
hurt.
Someone
there's
too
many
really
really
good
animals
out
there
that
that
we
can
work
hard
to
try
to
find
homes
for.
G
Anything
else
on
the
report.
Okay,
I
wanted
to
just
brief
you
and
I
apologize
that
I
didn't
do
this
last
month.
I
think
we
were
pretty
busy
with
the
advisory
committee
and
this
was
just
an
oversight,
but
I
do
apologize.
G
G
I
did
speak
with
lynn
up
in
hr
and
chairman
wheeler
and
they
said
yes
go
ahead
and
fill
the
position
because
it
was
already
an
established
position
and
it
would
have
put
a
hardship
on
the
department
and
caused
overtime
of
employees
at
higher
rate.
So
I
did
fill
that
position
with
another
part-time
individual
and
I
wanted
to
make
the
committee
aware
of
that.
So
we
were
happy
to
find
somebody
so
quickly
and
then
the
last
item
I
have,
I
think
you
have
a
copy
of
the
the
letter.
G
G
It
must
go
to
the
board
the
season's
starting
to
wind
down
and
I'd
like
to
come
back
at
some
point
and
talk
to
the
committee
about
that
process
because,
as
we
all
know,
things
happen
either
really
slow
down
in
springfield
or
they
happen
overnight
and
there's
not
an
opportunity
to
come
and
talk
to
the
committee
and
then
wait
and
talk
to
the
full
board
the
next
month.
G
G
This
is
one
piece
of
legislation
that
I
hope
we
can
support
and
it
has
passed
both
the
house
and
the
senate.
It
amends
or
creates
language
that
says
if
an
animal
has
been
seized
or
forfeited
under
the
humane
care
for
animals
act,
in
other
words,
for
somebody
that
hasn't
provided
owners,
duties
or
cruel
treatment,
or
that
they
do
not
get
to
get
their
animal
back.
I
mean
yes,
it
seems
to
make
sense.
Well
you
just
forfeited
it
or
it
was
seized
by
court
order.
G
However,
sadly,
and
one
of
my
colleagues
actually
down
in
springfield,
it
happened
twice
and
I
believe
it
was
the
same
animal
and
some
sometimes
one
incident
can
spur
legislation.
You
know
that
will
act
and
this
individual,
the
animal
was
taken
away
from
them.
Some
family
member
somebody
came
in
adopted,
the
animal
gave
it
back
to
him,
and
so
this
language
says
that
it's
not
only
illegal
for
the
individual
that
lost
custody
of
their
animal
to
to
have
it
back.
G
It
also
puts
penalties
on
the
person
that
would
come
in
and
adopt
it
and
give
it
back.
So
you
know,
I
think,
when,
when
these
folks
can't
be
responsible
for
a
pet-
and
it's
been
shown
that
through
the
humane
care
for
animals
act
and
it's
gone
through
the
proper
process,
they
don't
deserve
that
animal
doesn't
deserve
to
go
back
through
that
situation.
G
I
recognize
that
that
animal
probably
does
love
that
person.
However,
you
know
they
need
to
take
better
care
of
the
animals.
We've
got
several
animals
that
come
in
to
us
for
different
reasons
and
oftentimes.
You
know
we're
asked
why
don't
you
transfer
them
locally
to
the
local
shelters
and
we
do
at
times,
but
sometimes
we
feel
it's
in
the
animal's
best
interest
to
get
it
out
of
the
area
and
away
from
an
opportunity
for
somebody
to
do
that,
and
and
people
say
that
to
us
all
the
time.
G
Well,
I
can't
I
can't
afford
to
redeem
my
animal,
I'm
I'm
just
gonna
send
a
family
member
in
to
adopt
it,
no,
no
you're,
not
so
anyway.
This
is
what
this
legislation
is
like.
I
said
it's
passed
both
the
house
and
the
senate,
we're
hoping
that
it
will
be
sent
on
to
the
governor
and
that
the
governor
will
sign
this.
G
So
I'm
asking
the
committee
for
the
support
or
permission
to
send
this
letter
on
behalf
of
the
county
of
kankakee,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
from
what
I
understand
this
may
need
to
go
to
the
full
board,
and
I
think
that
gives
us
an
ounce
of
time
because
it,
I
think
he
has,
until
the
end
of
august,
to
act
on
this.
G
B
I
Snipes
is
there
a
law
or
a
statute
or
an
ordinance
in
place
that
limits
a
elected
official
to
advocate
on
behalf
of
their
cause
to
the
state?
Is
there
any
such
rule
in
place
that
will
prohibit
it,
and
the
reason
I
ask
that
is
because
I
don't
want
just
I
mean
I
can
see
in
cases
where,
if
it
was
irresponsible
and
it
would
bring
the
county
into
disrepute
or
or
make
us
liable
for
something,
but
any
issues
that
are
just
advocacy
or
lobbying
on
promotion
right
of
of
your
equity.
I
Is
there
anything
that
would
prohibit
us
in
legally
for
making
it
happen?.
A
I
Yeah,
what
I
was
looking
at
is
that
there
are
times
where
she
alluded
to
what
they
call
a
time
frame
and,
and
so
sometimes
you
can't
get
it
to
the
board,
and
I'm
saying
if
it's
something
that
is
just
a
cause,
but
it
doesn't
really
kind
of
really
affect
the
board
other
than
you
just
want.
Our
additional
support
in
those
times
are
there
rules
of
something
that
kind
of
prohibit
an
individual
from
doing
that
when
the
when
the
time
span
is
critical
or
times
of
the
essence,.
A
M
I
I
think,
that's
something
that
can
be
looked
into
in
terms
of
a
process
as
far
as
an
employee
lobbying
on
behalf
of
the
county
in
terms
of
individual
opinions
in
terms
of
individual
elected
officials,
I
think
there's
a
great
likelihood
that
an
individual
elected
official
would
have
almost
total
freedom
in
terms
of
what
lobbying
they're
going
for
appointed.
M
G
Yeah
and
I'd
like
to
bring
back
maybe
a
little
proper
bit
of
language
that
the
committee
could
look
at
and
we
could
pass
on
to
the
board.
Maybe
it's
as
simple
as
a
process
of
being
able
to
send
out
a
mass
email
to
board
members
when
something
is
so
time
sensitive
that
there
is
not
a
lot
of
time
to
go
through.
You
know
a
two-month
process.
L
A
A
G
And
it
does
move
so
quick.
I
mean
there
are
times
there's
stuff
out
there
and
I,
by
the
time
I
get
to
the
committee,
and
I
want
to
report
that
there's
all
these
bills
out
there.
Some
of
them
have,
you
know,
died
as
fast
death.
Some
of
them,
you
know,
have
moved
on
or
been
amended
so
much
that
it
the
integrity
of
the
beginning
of
the
bill.
Isn't
there
anymore?
G
So
it's
it's
a
very
fascinating
process.
That's
for
sure.
A
A
Seeing
none
thank
you
have
a
good
day.
You
too,
okay,
I'm
gonna
bring
back
old
business
if
there's
any
other
old
business
for
this
committee.
Is
there
any
other
old
business
for
this
committee?
A
L
A
So
I've
been
looking
for
a
motion
to
adjourn
mrs
dunbar,
mr
victory.
All
right,
all
in
favor
have
a
great
day.
Everybody.
