Description
Community Services Committee Meeting 6/20/2017 9:00AM
A
B
D
I'm
also
prepared
to
present,
although
I
don't
have
enough
copies
for
everybody,
a
rough
draft
of
some
bylaws
that
would
that
could
govern
this
advisory
board
that
you
could
look
at
and
discuss
and
yourselves
and
with
us
and
get
back
any
changes
or
accept,
as
is
so
if
you'd
like.
I
could
pass
those
out
now
and
I
think
that's
all
I
have
to
say
except
that
on
behalf
of
all
the
non-profit
shelters
in
the
area
and
the
advocates
that
are
a
member
of
the
shelter
coalition
they're
eager
to
have
you
guys.
A
A
A
B
B
E
F
For
the
third
time
good
morning
good
morning,
are
there
any
questions
on
either
report
this
morning?
Okay,
very
good!
With
that,
just
a
little
update
for
you,
I
think
I'm.
When
did
we
meet
march
two
months
april,
whenever
okay,
so
since
then
house
bill
3036
has
passed
both
chambers,
so
we
are
awaiting
the
governor's
signature
with
that
I've
already
started
working
with
the
state's
attorney's
office.
To
start
writing.
F
F
Talking
right,
it
just
will
not
be
a
predictable
fee.
It'll
just
be
a
p
increase.
Okay,
that's
the
difference,
perfect.
Okay,
any
other
questions
on
that.
Okay,
just
some
other
things
to
keep
you
updated
on.
What's
going
on
in
the
recorder's
office,
we
continuously
work
on
backlog
in
terms
of
imaging
the
microfilmed
images
that
are
in
all
those
drawers
so
that
they're
accessible
and
ready
for
public
viewing,
either
on
my
public
computers
or
from
your
home
or
office
or
wherever
you
may
be.
F
If
you
need
some
information
so
right
now,
we
are
working
on
1987.
there's
a
total
of
15
268
images
for
1987..
So
far,
we've
done
4795
completely
image
indexed
and
have
accessible
to
the
public.
Every
day
we
work
on
that
when
we
don't
have
daily
work
to
do
so,
it
keeps
my
office
continuously
busy
and
moving
forward
and
we
average
about
two
to
three
hundred
images
a
week
so
that
we're
imaging
and
then
on
top
of
that,
then
we
have
to
put
it
in
the
system
and
index
it.
F
F
F
The
legislation
is
very
specific
about
its
immediate
once
he
signs
it
into
law,
but
for
public
information
it
has
to
be
public.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
it
has
to
be
published
for
the
public
to
be
aware
that
this
will
be
coming.
There's
a
process,
that's
involved
with
banks,
title
companies
and
attorneys.
You
just
can't
flick
a
switch
and
change
a
fee.
F
F
Unfortunately,
no
it
requires
the
governor's
signature.
Yes,
so
I
would
encourage
associations,
like
the
chairman's
association
to
possibly
you
know,
show
some
support
for
signing
that.
I
know
our
association
is
doing
the
same
thing.
We
have
the
title
companies
we
had
the
banking
industry
and
the
realtors
association
working
in
support
of
all
of
this.
So
we
have
some
really
nice
partners
in
the
industries
that
are
encouraging
support.
A
B
H
F
A
F
Okay,
so
you
see
a
change
in
an
increase
it's
because
there
is
more
changing
and
happening.
We've
had
some
very
very
nice
commercial
transactions
and
some
farmland
transactions
both
april
and
may,
and
even
as
current
as
this
month.
So
I
think
right
now,
I'm
at
about
23
000
in
state
stamps
for
the
month.
B
I
F
Sheriff's
sale
there's
so
many
variations
as
to
if
a
property
goes
into
foreclosure
things
that
could
happen
and
how
it
can
transfer
and
no,
we
don't
track
that.
I
tracked
foreclosures
from
the
month
notice
the
foreclosures
that
are
filed,
but
no,
I
don't
track
the
last
part
of
it.
That
would
be
almost
impossible.
F
F
B
A
K
K
If
you'll
indulge
me
some
of
the
things
that
we've
been
working
on
since
last,
we
met
we've
begun
microfilming,
the
county
board
records
from
1979
to
the
current,
in
addition
to
having
those
records
archived
on
film,
we're
also
getting
those
scanned
into
a
digital
format,
we're
going
to
take
those
digital
formats
and
put
them
onto
our
website,
so
that
they're
accessible
to
the
public
and
by
the
time
that
we're
all
done
with
that
people
could
go
in
for
a
given
month
and
see
the
minutes.
The
agenda,
the
resolutions.
K
And
it
will
be
google
searchable.
So
if
you
don't
know,
for
example,
what
month
something
transpired
you
can
put
it
into
google
and
it'll
search
through
all
the
documents
that
we've
got
out
there,
we're
anticipating
that
being
done.
We've
got
four
months
out
there
right
now,
just
as
a
test,
but
we're
anticipating
that
being
done,
probably
by
the
end
of
july
and
accessible
to
the
public
within
two
or
three
weeks
after
that.
K
Host
our
website
the
cost
for
doing
that.
Actually,
we
save
the
county
some
money
by
doing
that,
it'll
be
a
few
dollars,
but
we
get
better
service,
more
storage
for
less
money,
so
monies
that
are
coming
from
this
aren't
coming
out
of
the
general
fund.
They
are
coming
out
of
our
automation,
fund,
okay,
voter
registration.
K
Anybody,
that's
going
to
be
out
the
friendship,
festival,
friday
or
saturday
come
by
stop
by
and
see
us
we'll
be
out
there
the
whole
day.
So
we're
also
going
to
be
working
with
olivet
to
be
out
at
bears
camp
we've
done
that
in
years
past.
So
we'll
do
that
again,
we're
probably
going
to
be
contacting
the
schools.
We've
done
that
historically,
during
their
fees
days
to
see
if
they
want
us
out
there
to
provide
voter
registration
services.
K
Some
schools
have
got
you
know:
we've
got
our
process,
lined
up
how
we
want
things
to
go,
that's
fine!
We
will
be
out
there
another
time
other
invite
us
and
we
have
varying
degrees
of
success.
Sometimes
the
parents
are.
I
want
to
write
my
check
and
get
out
and
don't
want
to
wait,
but
you
know
sometimes
it
provides
a
service
to
somebody
that
you
know
we're
in
line
might
as
well.
Do
it?
K
Also,
if
you
haven't
noticed
when
you
get
downstairs,
we
have
a
poster
on
our
board,
encouraging
voter
participation.
We
re,
we
researched
a
company
called
electricity
which
is
provided
by
the
center
for
technology
and
civic
life.
They
provide
voter
registration
materials
free
of
charge,
we're
going
to
use
that
to
kind
of
promote
voter
registration
both
in
the
office
and
on
our
facebook,
page
through
social
media,
again
no
cost
to
the
county.
K
E
K
K
So
even
in
a
worst
case
scenario,
we
have
backups.
We
were
able
to
experience
one
of
those
backups
with
the
april
election
when
we
had
a
power
outage
at
one
of
our
polling
places.
I
don't
remember
if
we'd
relayed
that
with
you
without
electricity,
we
can't
really
function
with
the
the
poll
books,
but
we
did
have
paper
copies
of
the
poll
books
that
we
were
able
to
go
back
to
is
it
emergency
is
an
emergency
parachute
in
essence,
and
we
didn't
miss
a
beat.
K
B
A
I
Dan,
I
had
a
question
in
regards
to
like
when
you're
at
bears
camp
and
when
you're
at
the
friendship
festival.
Are
you
and
no
I'm
not
necessarily
volunteering,
but
are
you
looking
for
volunteers
to
help
when
you're
there
doing
register
voter
registration,
or
you
just
use
people
in
your
office
down
there
and.
K
M
K
H
Thank
you
again,
mr
chairman,
in
regards
to
the
hacking
thing,
there's
a
whole
industry
out
there
right
now,
that's
working
on
security
issues.
I
happen
to
have
a
family
member,
that's
working
on
that.
So
I
understand
okay.
So
it's
a
it's
a
very,
very
big
industry
on
the
security
issues
right
now,
I'm
kind
of
new
to
this
committee
and
we
approve
these
fees
all
the
time.
I'd
I'd
like
to
know
what
they
are
just
can
we
go
down
that
list
and
and.
L
L
Birth
certificate
certified
copies
redemption
fees,
of
course,
anytime,
that
in
the
county
clerk's
office,
when
somebody
comes
in
and
pays
their
sold
taxes,
we
collect
that
redemption
fee.
It
was,
we've
moved
it
up
to
83
dollars,
so
you'll
see
a
bump
in
the
prior
month
of
income,
increased
income,
miscellaneous
public
services.
So
that's.
L
L
L
L
There
is
a
redemption
automation
that
that
charges
for
certain
types
of
collections
uncertain
taxes,
postage
reimbursement
includes
when
we
pay
postage
for
tax
buyers
when
that
is
redeemed,
that
is
a
reimbursement
and
public
health
state
treasury.
That's
a
state
mandated
fee!
That's
what
we
mail
that
that's
what
we
send
to
springfield!
That's
required.
L
The
the
the
death
fee
is
from
on
death
certificates
and
that's
distributed
to
the
corner,
to
training
a
third
to
us,
and
then
the
domestic
violence
is
on
attack
done
on
marriage
licenses
interests
earned.
We
have
a
sweep
account
at
the
end
of
the
month,
so
we
pick
up
a
little
interest
and
I'll
I'll
drop
in
your
mailbox,
a
breakdown
that
gives
every
detailed
certificate.
A
L
Just
kind
of
know
what
they
are,
and
you
know
that's
a
that's
a
good
point.
I'm
glad
you
bring
that
up,
because
it's
the
county
board
committee
that
that
directs
the
form
to
be
reported
for
all
committees,
and
so
you
know
at
one
time
I
think
one
of
the
county
board
members
asked
that
the
raffle
license
be
included
and
I
see
down
there
yeah
you
see
that
down
at
the
bottom
and
that's
a
recent
addition
within
a
couple
of
months.
L
B
A
J
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
you'll
see
on
the
may
report.
You'll
see
a
blank,
probably
both
on
the
month
iptip
building
fund
and
the
yearly
on
the
report
that
I'm
having
signed.
I
did
put
the
same
amount
from
april
april.
I
was
just
not
able
to
get
those
numbers.
The
the
department,
the
treasurer's
department,
didn't
have
those
numbers
for
me
yet.
So
I'm
sure
there
is
some
interest
for
that
month.
But
since
I
didn't
you
know,
wasn't
able
to
get
the
report,
I
could
not
pass
that
on.
J
J
You'll
see
the
bytes
are
up
for
a
total
really
in
the
month
and
as
a
total
for
the
year,
we've
had
a
lot
of
bats
early
that
we've
been
sending
as
far
as
bite
reports
it
you
know
if
they
have
even
been
exposed.
That's
considered
something
that
that
we
send
to
be
tested,
so
it's
it's
counted
as
in
our
bite,
numbers
we've
had
a
really
weird
beginning
of
the
year,
the
instances
of
dog
on
dog
attacks.
J
I
think
I've
reported
this
in
the
last
couple
months
have
have
been
extremely
high,
probably
on
a
weekly
basis.
We
are
responding
to
calls
on
dogs
getting
loose
and
going
and
being
aggressive
with
other
dogs
oftentimes.
That
involves
people
that
you
know,
try
to
intervene
and
and
stop
that,
and
then
somebody
ends
up
getting
bitten
as
well.
M
J
We
certainly
don't
have
any
other
contractual
agreements
like
we
do
with
buckingham.
We
have
been
able
to
respond
to
buckingham
calls.
Okay,
you
know
when
a
citizen
has
that
need,
and
they
call
us
we're
really
happy
to
be
able
to
just
promptly
respond
to
their
need
and
we
are
working
on
getting
out
to
buckingham
to
get
a
a
vaccination
clinic.
J
They
had
asked
about
that.
We
want
to
be
able
to
provide
that
for
them
for
their
community
in
a
microchip
clinic
and
and
let
their
you
know
just
remind
their
citizens
out
there
that
that
we're
there
for
them,
whether
they
have
questions
about
their
own
pets
or
concerns
about
you
know
other
can
other
pets
that
you
know
may
be
misbehaving
in
the
neighborhood.
J
So
we're
real
happy
to
do
that
and
you
know
again,
you
know
we
continue
to
be
hopeful
that
other
communities
will
see
the
value
of
that
service,
and
you
know
come
on
board
with
that.
But
our
revenue
is
up
both
months
and
you
can
see
then
for
the
year
we're
we're
up
about
five
thousand
dollars
in
may
compared
to
last
year.
J
That's
I,
I
suppose
good
and
bad.
That
means
that
there's
more
calls
that
were
going
on,
you
know
we're
being
called
out,
but
that
can
also
mean
that
there's
you
know
a
higher
activity
of
animals
being
loose,
and
some
of
that
is
driven
by
those
those
dog
on
dog.
You
know
aggressive
attacks,
and
so
it's
you
know
we're
while
we're
happy
for
the
the
revenue
we're
not
happy
that
we're
out
there
on
more
calls,
because
that
generally
means
problems.
I
If
they
don't
pay
the
fee,
then
they
relinquish
the
rights,
but
are
they?
Are
they
liable
to
pay
any
fees
to
you?
Then,
because
you
picked
up
their
animals
and
now
you're
responsible
for
them,
and
they
didn't
come
up
with
the
bond
money
that
they
needed
by
a
certain
date
or
do
you
ever
collect?
That
is
that
possible.
J
In
my
past
experience
most
of
the
time
we
end
up
shouldering
the
responsibility
of
housing
and
caring
for
the
animals
and
court
cases
generally
when,
when
you're
dealing
with
that
type
of
a
thing
where
you've
impounded
animals
and
there's
pending
criminal
charges
and
you're
applying
for
security
funds
is
what
that's
called
it
gives
the
the
owner
an
opportunity.
You
have
to
go
in
front
of
a
judge
and
you
have
to
say
this
is
what
the
costs
would
potentially
be
for
the
next
month
to
care
for
these
animals
involved.
J
If
the
judge
grants
that
the
animal
owner
has
five
business
days
to
post
that
money,
with
with
the
the
courthouse
with
the
circuit
court
money
that
animal
control
could
potentially
draw
off
of
to
care
for
the
animals,
it's
been
my
experience
when
that
happens.
Generally,
that
money
does
not
get
posted.
J
The
individuals
haven't
been
able
to
properly
care
for
the
animals,
so
they
really
don't
have
the
money
to
generally
post
that
and
it
it
certainly
could
come
down
when
the
the
case
is
heard,
that
a
judge
could
ask
for
some
compensation
as
as
part
of
the
sentencing.
But
generally
that
doesn't
happen.
J
Certainly
you
know
we'd
like
to
see
that
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
Citizens
think
that
that
were
gaining
a
lot
of
revenue
when
we
bring
animals
in
and
adopt
them
out,
and
I
think
across
the
board.
The
non-profits,
as
well
as
as
government
agencies,
know
that
there's
not
really
money
to
be
made
in
adoption,
so
the
burden
is
yours,
the
burden
is
ours.
You
know,
I
think
a
state's
attorney
had
asked
me
in
the
last
several
months.
You
know
why.
Why
do
we
want
a
bar?
J
And
why
do
we
want
to
house
these
these
large
animals?
Isn't
it
just
better
to
let
somebody
else
handle
aboard
them
so
to
speak,
and
I
said
well,
I
can
tell
you
in
the
last
couple
years,
when
we
had
the
big
equine
case
that
just
kept
developing
more
and
more
started
with
three
and
ended
up
with,
I
think
15.
J
we
probably
paid
over
twelve
thousand
dollars
to
someone
else
to
care
for
those
animals,
so
it
I.
I
don't
really
feel
that
it's
in
our
best
interest-
and
I
think
there
was
an
individual
that
thought
that
that
we
gained
that
we
made
back
revenue
from
that
when
we
then
adopted
them
all
out
and
we
don't.
We
transfer
them
on
to
other
equine
centers
and
we
we
get
nothing
we're
generally
in
the
hole
on
all
of
those
kind
of
services,
and
it's
it's
okay.
I
mean
revenue
wise.
No,
it's
not,
but
that's
not.
J
Why
we're
doing
it
a
recent
case
where
security
posting
was
filed.
You
know
the
case
is
still
open.
So
certainly
I
can't
talk
about
that.
But
public
records
says
this.
Money
was
ordered
by
the
judge.
It
wasn't
paid.
The
animals
were
forfeited.
I
suppose
we
could
have
tried
to
adopt
them
all
out.
We
get
concerns
that
sometimes
friends
or
family
members
may
try
to
come
back
and
adopt
those
animals
back,
and
then
they
end
up
getting
back
to
the
person
where
this
all
stemmed
from
and
there's
actually
legislation
out
there.
J
I
haven't
looked
lately
to
see
where
that's
at,
but
a
law
that
says
it
would.
It
would
be
a
crime
for
anyone
to
take
an
animal
that
was
forfeited
or
taken
by
an
animal
control
and
give
it
back
to
the
individual,
because
some
some
of
my
colleagues
have
had
that
type
of
thing
happen.
So
all
of
those
animals
were
just
transferred.
We
held
them
for
oh
gosh,
I'm
trying
to
think
a
month
or
better
two
months
and
those
animals
were
all
transferred
to
another
organization
to
shelter
partners.
J
For
the
most
part,
bats,
raccoons
possums-
those
are
the
three
you
know
biggest
animals
that
we
get.
We
are
not
going
out
for
nuisance
animals.
There
are
either
animals
that
have
potentially
are
a
public
threat,
a
raccoon
or
a
possum
out
during
the
day
where
that's
not
normal,
they're,
usually
stumbling
around
we'll
get
calls
there's
a
lot
of
children
around
and
most
of
those
have
distemper
that
chance
of
having
rabies
is
always
there.
J
We,
I
attended
a
rabies
workshop
here
just
a
couple
weeks
ago,
and
it
was
very
interesting
for
the
veterinarian
to
point
out
that
rabies
is
coming
from
the
east
raccoon
rabies
skunk
rabies
is
coming
up
from
the
south.
Raccoon
rabies
is
coming
down
from
the
north
and
we
sit
here
and-
and
it's
closing
in
so
you
know
that
message
to
vaccinate
our
domestic
pets
and
leave
the
wildlife
alone
is
important.
J
A
little
bit,
I
I
think
we've
got
a
couple
of
people
that
have
been
consistently
giving
and
some
people
will
will
come
in
and
they'll
they'll
want
to
donate
and
we'll
say:
where
do
you
want
your
your
funds?
How
do
you
want
your
funds
to
benefit?
Do
you
want
them
to
benefit
the
daily
operation
or
the
building
fund
and
generally,
if
they
say
they
won't,
they
want
to
help
support
the
building
fund.
J
N
That
has
now
grown
up
a
little
bit
and
they're
moving
in
little
packs
across
the
street
and
then
individuals
walking.
But
if,
if
her
kids
feel
threatened,
she
will
still
stand
there
and
look
at
you
or
whatever.
So
I
mean
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
control
then
we'll
work
in
this
I
mean
the
city,
I
know
don't
like
paying
anything,
but
some
kind
of
way
we
got
looking
for
the
public
safety.
So
any
suggestions.
J
You
know
we
do
respond
to
the
calls
if
they
are
a
threat
out
there.
You
know
if,
if
the
animal
doesn't
appear
sick
or
injured,
we're
not
just
out
picking
them
up
as
a
nuisance,
type
of
call
that
type
of
call
would
have
to
go
through
a
licensed
person
through
dnr
they
charge
for
their
services
they're
effective
with
what
they
do.
J
We
really
don't
want
to
spend
our
our
time
trying
to
concentrate
on
the
wildlife.
It's
not
good
to
take
a
wildlife
and
just
move
them
to
another
area.
They
could
have
diseases
that
could
then
be
introduced
to
areas
that
that
don't
have
that
disease.
So
that's
never
a
good
idea
or
they're
a
newbie
in
in
the
woods
and
they're
getting
pushed
out,
and
what
do
they
do
they
end
up
on
the
street
get
hit
by
a
car?
Those
those
aren't
the
right
answers.
J
Certainly,
I
think
that
message
is
out
there
that
we
need
to
try
to
to
coexist
and
and
cohabitate
with
the
wildlife
generally,
your
raccoons
and
and
your
possums
are
nocturnal
they're
not
coming
out
during
the
day.
If
you
see
one,
that
is,
if
it's
stumbling
around
will
certainly
help
in
that
instance,
but
the
city
they
may
need
to
reach
out
to
to
dnr
and
ask
for
some
assistance
or
guideline
with
that.
N
N
Yeah,
if
it
was,
we
would
be
in
trouble,
but
the
potential
for
you
know
someone
getting
harmed
is
is
a
is
a
is
a
concern
because
you'll
see
six
eight
of
them
in
a
tree.
You
know
and
individuals
trying
to
get
into
their
house.
You
know,
but
you
know
feel
they
feel
threatened
by
this
raccoon.
So
what
do
they
do?
Call
9-1
to
the
one.
J
Are
extremely
extremely
protective,
they're,
very
good
mothers
and
they're
gonna
do
what
they
need
to
do
to
protect
their
young.
You
know
it's
it's!
That
spring
is
the
season
where
we've
got.
You
know
moms
and
babies
out
there
of
all
species,
and
you
know
it's
it's
best
to
maybe
just
go
back
in
and
give
them
a
little
time
to
move
on,
make
a
lot
of
noise.
We
had
a
lady
called
the
other
day
that
one
was
in
her
garage.
J
H
H
J
Sure,
in
the
winter
time
things
are,
you
know
they
freeze
quicker,
so
they're,
not
the
smell.
Isn't
there
as
much
in
the
summertime.
Your
garbage,
if
it's
not
well
secured,
is
certainly
going
to
draw
those
animals-
and
you
know,
keeping
things
tidy
and
secure
and
picked
up
around
your
home
will
help.
A
J
You
know
there's
certainly
always
concern
with
things
going
too
high,
but
this
was
quite
a
bit
of
difference
from
the
actual
cost
to
the
department.
Now
this
study
was
done
in
2013,
so
you
know:
we've
gone
on
several
years,
falling
quite
a
bit
under
that
actual
cost
to
the
department,
so
we
felt
that
it
that
it
was
time
to
address
all
of
the
concerns
and
the
shortcomings
with
the
fee
study
that
was
done.
J
The
studies
showed
that
we
were
falling
about
twenty
dollars
and
fifty
one
cents
under
the
actual
cost
to
the
department.
So
the
increases
that
I'm
suggesting
or
recommending
is
to
increase
twenty
dollars
to
both
the
the
general
public
from
empowerment
and
the
municipality
from
picking
up
from
a
holding
pen
during
regular
business
hours.
J
We
can
do
in
a
shelter
situation,
so
in
that
empowerment
fee
includes
the
fact
that
we
give
distemper
kennel
cough.
You
know
rabies
is
given,
but
certainly
not
by
us.
That's
done
by
the
veterinarian,
deworming
d
fleeing
you
know
there.
They
come
in
loaded
with
ticks.
So
those
are
some
of
the
additional
things
that
go
into
that
empowerment
being
that
intake
fee.
So
that's
my
recommendation
today.
H
G
J
I
would
probably
say
it's
certainly
probably
more
dogs
than
cats,
but
we
do,
you
know
bring
in
you
know
the
cats
tend
to
go
up
really
high
during
the
spring
and
summer,
but
overall
it's
more
dogs
than
cats
that
are
out
there
running
at
large
and
you
know
being
picked
up
and
sadly,
more
dogs
get
reclaimed
than
cats.
We
we
are
thrilled
when
a
cat
gets
reclaimed.
In
a
month
there
have
been
years
that
only
one
cat
has
gotten
reclaimed
by
an
owner
in
a
year.
J
It
has
never
I've
never
ever
understood
why
our
kennels
will
be
full
with
with
wonderful
cats
that
you
know
have
had
owners
and
you've
got
people
coming
in
looking
for
their
cats,
but
we
don't
have
their
cats,
but
we
don't
have
the
owners
to
the
cats
that
are
there.
We
we
do.
We
have
seen
that
increase
a
little
bit
and
we're
really
happy
again.
I
think
microchipping
helps
you've
got
that
microchip.
It's
not
a
hundred
percent.
Sometimes
you
go
back
and
people
have
moved.
J
J
N
A
J
Thank
you.
I
just
had
a
couple
little
updates
wanted
to
share
with
the
committee
our
bark
event.
The
raise
the
wolf
event
was
very
successful.
We
had
a
great
time
the
comedians
were
funny
as
comedians
are.
Sometimes
there
were
a
couple
little
shock
factors,
but
I
think
that's
what
a
comedian
does,
but
overall,
I
think
it
was
a
really
great
time
was,
you
know,
very
well
attended.
I
don't
have
final
numbers
from
bark.
I
do
know
a
report
that
was
sent
out.
J
The
other
day
shows
that
the
bart
fund
is
90,
000
plus
dollars.
So
you
know
that's
growing
and-
and
we're
certainly
happy
for
that.
Also
the
several
of
our
staff
members,
the
first
week
of
june,
attended
the
prairie
states
animal
welfare
conference.
This
is
the
top
regional
conference
in
the
state
of
illinois.
J
G
You
know
this,
we
all
know
the
the
history
here
where
this
started.
Why
we
put
this
together
or
or
had
the
intent
to
put
this
together
and
I
received
differing
different,
I
guess
outlines
of
different
committee
structures
from
different
angles.
I
believe
diane
arthur
gave
me
one
that
was
very
helpful.
G
So
the
first
thing
was
is
to
determine
you
know
you
need
a
number
of
people.
You
need
not
an
even
number
of
people,
because
you
will
vote
on
different
things
from
time
to
time.
You
know
so,
once
we
had
a
couple
of
board
members
being,
you
know
on
board
to
help
out
and
help
structure.
This
then
we
had
to
figure
out
who
else
needed
to
be
there,
and
the
first
thing
was
is
on
everyone
that
I've
found
you
need
a
licensed
veterinarian,
so
that
needs
to.
G
We
would
look
for
that
individual,
you
know,
but
let
me
let
me
circle
back
on
the
the
make
up
a
little
bit,
but,
first
of
all,
in
my
mind,
we
had
to
have
a
mission.
What
is
the
mission?
What
is
the
goal?
What
is
the
object
of
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
and
and
the
mission
that
I'm
throwing
out
there,
because
this
is
a
while?
It's
not
an
official
county
board
subcommittee
that
is
subject
to
open
meetings,
because
we
don't
have
a
quorum
of
county
board
members
there.
G
We
want
to
run
this
in
a
professional
manner,
so
the
mission
would
be
to
provide
a
platform
for
input
and
assessment
of
current
and
proposed
county
policies
and
to
make
recommendations
to
the
kanke
county
community
services
committee
for
policies
relating
to
animal
welfare
and
ordinance
enforcement.
Now,
whether
that
means
analyzing
new
ordinances,
existing
ordinances
will
leave
that
committee
up
to
do
its
work.
G
We
don't
want
to
tell
folks
what
to
do,
but
we
want
to
make
it
structured
and,
under
that
guideline
the
the
respect
factor
has
to
be
in
place
that
people
have
differing
opinions.
This
is
a
way
to
flush
these
out
and
to
be
able
to
start
with
is
an
example.
You
know
we
want
this,
as
there
may
be
an
individual
in
this
committee.
That
has
say
I
want
to
have
something
come
forward
for
consideration
and
there
needs
to
be
an
assessment
of
okay.
Well,
what
is
the
statute
on
this?
G
What
is
our
current
ordinance
on
this?
How
do
we
achieve
okay?
It
conflicts
with
the
ordinance
that
we
have
do.
We
need
to
change
the
ordinance
or
conflicts
with
the
statute.
How
do
we
get
the
desired
outcome
within
that
framework?
So
again
it's
it's
respecting
the
process
and
being
able
to
figure
things
out.
The
other
thing
was
a
meeting
schedule
as
it
starts
off
with
right
now
I
head
down.
It
meets
bi-monthly
here
at
the
county
building,
that's
we'll
figure
it
out.
G
We
want
this
to
be
a
place
where
people
come
and
discuss
what
what
groups
might
be
doing
outside
of
this
committee
to
celebrate
the
successes
and
also
how
compliance
is
being
followed
within
the
local
community
and
elsewhere
within
the
state
or
around
the
nation.
So
that
being
said,
you
know
act
as
a
work
group
aimed
at
building
a
consensus
for
attainable
goals.
The
old
80
20
rule
may
apply
we
make.
G
Hopefully
we
can
agree
on
80
of
the
things
and
then
we'll
work
on
the
other
20
as
time
goes
on,
don't
let
those
be
deal
breakers.
The
one
thing
that
is
going
to
be
required
or
a
couple
things
is
that
there
has
to
be
an
application
to
the
board
and
to
the
chairman
for
the
appointment.
That's
going
to
be
required,
so
those
applications
are
on
our
website.
You
can
email
me
and
I
will
get
you
the
application
back,
but
they
need
to
be
filled
out
and
submitted.
G
One
of
the
goals
that
I
talked
to
julie
about
is
is,
I
think,
a
deal.
We
need
to
establish
a
ride-along
program
for
the
committee
members,
so
maybe
it's
it's
your
month
to
do
ride-alongs
and
if
they're,
you
know
for
someone
who
may
not
be
in
a
conflict
of
interest
but
be
under
strict
guidelines.
Liability
will
work
with
the
state's
attorney
to
make
sure.
Okay,
you
gotta
sit
in
the
car.
G
If
there
are
things
that
are
a
problem,
we
want
to
talk
about
it,
but
we
also
have
to
be
a
rule
of
law
type
committee
also,
and
if
some
things
need
to
change
we'll
talk
about
that
and
if
they're
in
conflict
with
state
statutes,
then
we'll
figure
out
again.
How
do
we
get
to
where
we
want
to
go
robert's
rules
of
order?
That's
has
to
be
followed.
You
know
everybody
has
a
time
to
speak
and
be
recognized
by
the
chair.
G
G
Work
to
do,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
be
able
to
follow
up
on
what
we're
talking
about
in
a
professional
manner,
but
fully
discuss
all
proposed
animal
control
ordinances.
If
julie
sees
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed
like
we,
we
have
done
in
the
past.
This
will
be
the
starting
point
for
that
to
bring
it
in
and
talk
about
it
to
get
everybody's
input,
because
we
don't
want
to
feel
like
we're
rolling
over
the
top
of
people,
but
we
want
also
know
that
people
to
know
that
we
have
a
certain
set
of
guidelines.
G
We
have
a
problem.
What
do
we
do
to
fix
it
within
the
constraints
of
the
law
and
then?
Finally,
this
all
individuals
on
this
must
be
a
resident
of
kankakee
county.
This
is
our
area,
so
we're
gonna
have
only
residents
from
the
area.
So
going
back
up
to
the
makeup.
The
veterinarian
there's
three
slots
on
here
for
shelter
operators,
whether
it's
board
members,
I
would
prefer
to
have
different
shelters.
I
would
hope
that
they
could.
You
know,
pick
somebody
to
throw
out
there.
G
It
could
be
somebody
that
works
in
the
kennel.
It
could
be
somebody
that
is
a
staff
member.
It
doesn't
just
each
place
could
be
represented.
There's
three
of
those
two
kanke
county
board
members,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
three
at
large
appointed
by
the
chairman.
So
the
street
position's
there
and
then
a
non-voting
member
would
be
julie.
G
The
animal
control
director
there
is
a
guide
post
of
of
what
the
way
the
operations
work
again,
not
a
voting
member,
not
somebody
who
can
control
the
discussion,
but
someone
to
be
able
to
provide
that
background
and
the
connection
to
the
state
statutes
and
what
we
have
locally.
So
with
that
there
is
a
room
in
there
for
the
committee
to
do
a
lot
of
things
that
they
so
choose
to
do,
but
there
are
only
a
few
things
that
I
have
to
have
as
far
as
structure
goes
and
those
appointments
will
come
from
the
chair.
G
They
will
come
from
the
county
board
and
we
will
provide
all
the
resources
necessary
to
facilitate
these
discussions,
which
is
use
of
this
room.
The
agenda's
use
of
diane's
time
and
then
julie's
is
all
into
to
move
down
this
path.
So
while
it's
not
an
official
committee,
it
would
be
more
like
the
blessing
of
community
services
to
say
yeah,
we
kind
of
agree
with
this
path.
We
agree
with
this
makeup
and
they
will
come
and
report
to
us
from
time
to
time
and
we'll
build
them
into
the
agenda.
G
B
N
No,
I
think
it's
a
a
great
opportunity
in
the
right
direction.
Certainly
the
young
man
that
spoke
this
morning
is
interested
or
his
committee
is
interested,
so
I
would
probably
encourage
them,
as
as
they
pilot
this
program
to
put
in
their
applications
and
consider
being
a
part
of
the
committee
as
well.
N
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
hope
that
with
this
committee
that
all
the
ordinances
will
be
provided
to
all,
so
they
can
be
studied
reviewed
before
going
into
this.
I
think
it
would
be
well
in
our
advantage
that
we
all
knew
what
they
were,
that
we
can
refer
to
them
in
discussion
in
the
committee.
If
that
could
be
a
possibility.

G
A
J
I
just
have
one
comment:
I
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
say.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
the
committee.
Thank
you
to
all
of
those
that
that
care
passionately
about
the
animals.
I've
I've
been
in
this
position
for
quite
a
while.
I've
worked
on
the
other
side
in
the
veterinary
field
for
several
years
as
well,
and
even
before
I
was
involved
in
animal
control.
J
There
was
always
a
riff
or
a
break
or
a
wedge
in
between
the
animal
control
department
and
the
private
organizations
and
the
public's
perception,
and
it's
time
that
our
little
neck
of
the
woods,
our
community
comes
together
and
does
what's
best
for
not
only
you
know
the
animals
but
the
people,
the
community
as
a
whole,
and
I
look
forward
to
this
opportunity
and
to
to
finally
be
able
to
say
you
know
those
that
are
are
here
now
that
we've
done
it.
We've
we've
come
together.
J
A
I
I
appreciate
you
julie
for
being
on
board
with
all
this,
because
you
know
you've
been
doing
this
a
long
time
and
you
know
the
ins
and
outs,
and
now
you
get
to
share
that
a
little
bit
with
everybody
and
maybe
hear
some
other
sides
of
other
things.
So
I
appreciate
you
being
so
open-eared
and
open-armed.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yeah
good
things
are
happening.
Okay,
moving
on
to
oh,
oh
yeah,
we
need
to
vote
all
those
in
favor
all
right,
all
opposed
great.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
moving
on
to
new
business.
