Community Services Committee Meeting 9/19/2017 9:00 AM

E
This
reflects
the
cost
study
that
was
done
and
then
refreshed
november
of
2016..
The
new
law.
The
new
statute,
allows
a
three
cost
study,
that's
done
within
the
last
three
years,
and
then
an
analysis
done
based
on
page
counts
and
different
doctypes.
So
that's
how
we
arrived
at
this
number
and
based
on
just
a
standard
document
of
an
average
of
15
000
documents
a
year
which
we'd
love
to
see
more
we're.
Looking
at
about
a
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollar
increase
into
the
general
fund.
E
So
we
just
need
a
lot
of
recordings:
everybody
buy
a
house
or
land
or
something,
no,
so
we're
pretty
excited
and
pretty
positive
about
this
we've
already
kind
of
started
talking
with
some
of
our
regular
customers
that
have
been
coming
in
and
they're
pretty
excited
too,
because
there's
no
more
county
pages
for
them.
It's
a
flat
fee.
You
come
in
with
your
whatever
recording
it's
57,
it'll
be
easier
for
them,
because
most
rejections
in
my
office
are
because
they
didn't
send
the
right
amount
of
money.
E
So
there's
that
delay
in
getting
the
document
recorded
because
of
that,
so
we
still
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
on
our
end.
We
still
have
to
count
those
pages.
We
are
still
accountable
for
those
pages
when
we're
scanning
them
in
and
creating
history
when
we're
making
it
our
repositories.
So
our
work
isn't
gonna
change.
E
It's
gonna
just
be
easier
for
the
title:
companies,
the
realtors,
the
attorneys
and
whoever
is
recording
their
documents,
so
you'll
see
that
these
are
all
based
on
flat
fees
or
predictable
fees,
as
the
legislation
approves
any
questions
on
that
we're
very
excited.
This
was
a
lot
of
work,
and
this
was
a
lot
of
collaborative
effort
with
the
realtors
association,
the
title
industry,
the
banking
industry
and
we've
been
doing
this
for
about
two
years
now,
so
we're
pretty
excited
that
this
has
finally
come
to
fruition.
E
F
E
So,
and
just
so,
you
know
nationally,
other
states
are
doing
a
whole
state
flat
fee
where
their
legislature
is
making
the
fee
decision
for
them.
So
illinois
we're
we're
kind
of
breaking
the
glass
ceiling
per
se
and
we're
showing
them
that
we
can
pass
legislation
and
do
this
a
county-by-county
basis
and
make
it
conform
to
the
constituents
of
the
county.
E
A
E
I
had
a
great
opportunity
to
work
with
eric
in
the
assessor's
office
to
do
an
insert.
So
many
of
you
seen
this.
We
have
it's
been
awesome.
I
was
receiving
messages
over
the
weekend
and
text
messages.
Our
office
was
very
very
busy
with
both
people
in
person
and
over
the
phone
partially
because
of
the
little
equifax
issue
that
was
going
on.
People
were
scared.
This
might
have
been
a
scam,
it
is
not
a
scam.
It's
and
because
the
800
number
is
on
here.
E
So
we
got
a
lot
of
calls
saying:
why
isn't
your
phone
number
on
there
so
I'll
be
probably
putting
the
press
release
out
just
to
help
people
understand
this
is
legitimate.
This
is
for
your
protection.
It's
a
free
service.
We
do
not
sell
your
information
and
it's
very
simple.
I
know
many
of
you
in
here
have
already
signed
up
property
fraud.
Alert
is
a
free
service
through
my
office
that
anytime,
something
is
recorded
in
your
name.
You'll
get
a
notification
either
by
email
or
a
voice
message
telephone.
E
So
and
it's
a
good
thing,
because
people
who
have
a
lot
of
property-
sometimes
you
know,
know
they
have
it,
but
if
all
of
a
sudden
something
is
out
of
their
portfolio
because
it
was
transferred,
maybe
illegally,
because
there
are
people
out
there
that
do
that.
This
is
a
faster
notification
to
you
that
there's
been
a
transfer
done
in
the
recorder's
office.
You
may
have
known
you
refinanced
or
transferred
property,
or
if
you
didn't
you're,
going
to
find
out
what
happened
and
it
does
happen,
it
happened
in
kankakee
county.
C
A
H
E
Well,
there'll
be
some
documentation,
there'll
be
assignments
or
changing,
of
ownership
of
mortgages
and
stuff,
like
that,
not
quite
as
quickly
as
everything
else
has
been
going
on
for
them
personally,
for
people
who
have
bank
accounts
with
them,
but
eventually
it'll
get
caught
up
and
so
we'll
see
a
little
spike.
In
assignments.
A
I
So
we
did
get
through
the
supervisor
of
assessments,
level,
which
is
a
chance
for
myself
to
to
make
any
changes
to
values
as
appropriate,
such
as
wind
turbine
valuation.
Things
like
that
we
got
those
things
entered
into
the
system
and
then
I
completed
equalization
very
very
quickly
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
on
target
with
the
dates
that
I
was
sort
of
predicting
there
all
year,
long
that
I'd
like
to
publish
second
tuesday
of
september,
and
we
did
that
for
the
third
year
in
a
row.
I
So
that
was
a
really
big
thing
for
us.
Then
we
moved
on
to,
of
course,
like
I
just
said,
publication
and
and
notification
of
assessments-
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
to
thank
my
staff
for
all
the
hard
work
that
they
did
because
as
we
were
preparing
to
publish-
and
we
were
printing
the
notices,
I
had
sort
of
an
untimely
death
in
the
family
and
I
was
gone
for
a
week
and
they
stepped
up
really
big
and
took
care
of
things.
I
I
I
approached
jake
about
putting
the
intelligent
mail
barcode
on
our
assessment
change
notices,
one
last
time,
as
we
still
had
the
program
from
neopost,
and
they
were
willing
to
go
ahead
and
work
through
that
with
me,
so
that
we
could
get
the
best
rate
possible
on
the
postage.
So
that
was
that
was
a
big
help
from
the
auditor's
office,
and
that
was
a
good
thing
and
as
laurie
mentioned
too,
when
the
assessment
change
notices
went
out,
there
was
a
small
insert
there
about
the
fraud
protection.
It's
a
good
thing
for
the
public
to
know
about.
I
So
everything
went
smoothly
there.
We
did
use
a
vendor
to
fold
and
stuff
the
notices
and
and
get
them
in
the
mail
for
us
had
no
real
hiccups.
There.
Everything
went
out
right
along
with
the
publication
that
tuesday,
wednesday,
thursday
12th
13th
and
14th
of
september.
So
we
were.
We
were
good.
The
things
that
we're
waiting
on
right
now,
I'm
waiting
for
the
department
of
revenue
to
issue
our
tentative
equalization
factor.
I
I
did
submit
all
of
the
preambles
and
things
from
the
newspaper
as
they
requested
and
once
I
did,
that
they
acknowledged
receipt
of
those
things,
and
I
actually
answered
a
couple
of
questions
yesterday,
so
I
think
I
think
we're
moving
along
in
the
right
direction.
There
and
everything
should
be
fine.
I
I
anticipate
really
no
problems
from
our
tentative
level.
A
D
I
Absolutely
a
great
question,
but
it
also
jogged
my
memory
on
one
other
thing,
chairman
lear
did
by
excuse.
Excuse
me:
vice
chairman
leader,
did
alert
me
to
the
idea
that
there
was
some
legislation
out
there.
I
was
aware
it
was
out
there,
but
I
wasn't
sure
if
it
was
gonna
get
signed,
it
did
get
signed
starting
next
year.
The
the
threshold
for
the
freeze
is
65
000
of
income,
not
55
000..
So
on
january
1
we'll
have
you
know,
the
seniors
will
will
have
a
little
bit
of
a
higher
threshold
on
their
income.
I
To
answer
your
question
about
the
the
difference
between
an
assessment
and
how
the
freeze
affects
it,
assessors
do
value
property
without
any
thought
to
exemptions
on
the
property,
so
they
value
it.
Irrespective
of
the
exemptions.
Exemptions
are
granted
later,
so
the
assessor
is
going
to
continue
to
assess
the
property
at
its
hopefully
at
its
fair
cash
value,
and
then
that
senior
freeze
exemption
is
a
flexible
amount.
I
What
it
is,
what
it
does
is
it
looks
at
the
base
year's
value
versus
the
current
day's
value,
and
the
exemption
is
the
amount
of
the
difference
between
the
base
and
the
current
year.
So,
as
the
assessment
goes
up,
that's
actually
the
point
of
the
freeze
as
it
started
in
2000.
I'm
sorry
in
1993
was
to
stabilize
the
bill.
I
J
I
still
have
to
get.
I
have
not
gotten
my
assessment
in
the
mail
for
the
last
two
years.
I
don't
know
where
it's
going,
but
I
haven't
gotten
it.
But
my
question
is
for
the
seniors:
do
they
have
to
apply
every
year
for
that
senior
freeze,
because
a
lot
of
times
I
think
they're
forgetting
and
if
they
don't
it's
not
something
that
just
is
automatic
is
to
my
understanding.
I
I
Unless
it
is
your
quad
year
or
general
assessment
year,
which
happens
every
four
years,
and
I
I
believe
you're
in
kankakee
township,
sir
right
kankakee
township's
assessments,
the
general
assessment
year
will
be
next
year,
so
everyone
in
kankakee
township
will
receive
a
notice
whether
their
value
changed
or
not,
but
in
those
off
years
those
other
three
years.
You'd
only
get
a
notice
if
your
value
actually
changed
due
to
something
other
than
just
my
equalization.
At
my
equalization
level.
As
far
as
the
senior
freeze
goes,
you
are
correct.
I
If
they
do
forget
and
the
bill
comes
out
in
the
following
spring
and
and
it
looks
like
it,
took
a
big
jump
or
something
like
that.
The
statute
requires
us,
then,
to
go
ahead
and
do
a
certificate
of
error
if
they
come
in
and
file
for
the
freeze
after
the
fact.
So
we
can
still
correct
the
bill
and
make
sure
that
the
senior
gets
benefit
of
that
freeze,
even
if
they
forgot
during
the
calendar
year
that
they
were
intended
to
to
apply
so.
J
A
A
I
have
also
witnessed
this
firsthand
his
pursuit
of
his
pursuit
of
additional
knowledge
and
experience
gleaned
for
many
to
provide
the
best
possible
decisions
and
implementations
of
policy
for
kankakee
county.
In
this
time
of
financial
uncertainty
for
public
bodies,
the
local
real
estate
tax
system
has
provided
stability
to
many
levy
bodies
which
depend
upon
this
revenue
stream.
A
This
only
amplifies
the
importance
of
having
a
chief
county
assessment
officer
who
can
navigate
the
prop
the
property
tax
cycle
with
professionalism
and
a
high
degree
of
knowledge.
You
have
such
an
individual
and
eric
blair
on
my
beha
on
behalf
of
my
own
office
and
the
organization.
I'm
a
part
of
I
wanted
to
express
my
positive
acknowledgement
of
his
county
official
appointment.
He
is
truly
one
of
the
most
up-and-coming
leaders
in
this
field
within
the
state
of
illinois
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
the
community.
A
I
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
the
acknowledgement,
but
I
also
would
like
to
say
that
gary
twist
has
been
a
really
great
confidant
for
me,
as
I
try
to
you
know,
administer
things
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
tighter
here
than
we
have
maybe
in
the
past,
and
do
a
little
bit
better
job,
so
those
words
coming
from
him
meant
a
lot
to
me
as
well.
So
thank
you
to
this
committee
and
the
entire
board
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
to
lead
the
department.
I
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
B
A
K
For
the
last
few
months-
and
I
know
in
our
comprehensive
report,
we
indicated
that
we
were
in
the
process
of
putting
county
board
proceedings,
the
county
board
resolutions
on
a
search
engine,
and
we
have
successfully
completed
that
and
here
to
show
some
of
the
benefits,
and
some
of
the
transparency
is
dan's.
Going
to
walk
you
through
how
we
now
can
search
county
board
records.
We
put
records
from
1979
to
current
and
dan
will
explain
a
unique
way
that
he
did.
L
Good
morning
everybody
bruce
said
current
and
I
I've
got
to
admit
that
we
we
don't
have
august
on
there.
Yet,
however,
we
were
in
the
process
of
microfilming
our
county
board
documents
for
the
past
30
some
years
and
the
company
that
we
work
with,
provided
us
the
ability
to
have
digitized
images
of
those
for,
in
essence
about
75
to
80
cents
per
month.
L
It's
a
great
deal,
so
what
we
can
do
with
those
images
is
that
we
put
them
on
our
website,
so
this
is
now
publicly
accessible,
we're
doing
a
soft
roll
out
of
it.
So
I
guess
it's
a
little
bit
harder
now,
but
if
you
were
going
to
look
for
county
board
documents
for
a
particular
month,
it's
on
our
website
everybody's
got
this
as
their
homepage
on
their
computer
right,
keycountyclerk.com,.
L
L
C
L
L
L
L
G
K
No,
I
think
what
this
does
is
this.
This
is
an
archive
system
that
allows
just
to
go
back
because
we
get
a
lot.
This
is
a
dual
purpose.
This
gets
a
lot
of.
We
get
a
lot
of
requests
to
search
and,
as
you
recall,
we
had
an
old
paper
vision
paper
flow
system
that
was
pretty
archaic.
It
was
slow
to
search.
K
So
if
the
state's
attorney
wanted
to
look
at
or
the
planning
department
wanted
to
find
a
record,
they
had
to
send
a
request
to
felicia,
or
if
you
wanted
to
find
a
record
you,
you
know,
you
had
to
send
a
request
to
felicia.
A
couple
of
days
would
go
by
as
time
permits.
So
what
this
allows
you
to
do
is
go
back
in
time
and
pull
up
those
resolutions
that
you
need
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
continue
to
do
searches.
We
will
do
those
searches
but.
G
G
K
K
J
L
You
know
I
don't
know
once
I
mean
I
can't
upload
augusts
until
september.
You
know
you,
you
approve
everything
in
september,
so
once
excuse
me
once
once
we
get
that
approval
at
the
full
county
board
meeting
for
each
month.
I
can
upload
that
the
previous
months,
within
a
matter
of
minutes
once
I
get
those
files.
K
K
K
It
just
picked
up,
we
just
picked
up
some
microfilm
and
we
oh
records
were
microfilm
prior
to
that
yeah.
You
know
at
some
point
in
time.
You
can,
you
know,
go
back
and
hopefully
put
the
whole
system
on
there,
but
what
we
do
with
microfilm
is
we
keep
those
records
off-site,
even
though
the
archives
in
springfield
is
filled
up,
we've
still
worked
out
an
arrangement
to
keep
an
off-site
storage
of
the
records
because
those
are
permanent
records
and
we
have
them
going
back
to
1853
some
of
the
original
records.
K
K
K
K
L
L
State
legislation
allows
us
to
do
it
on
sunday
as
well,
but
to
go
to
those
nursing
homes
and
physically
bring
a
couple
judges
there
and
vote
the
people
that
that
are
reside
there.
We
usually
ask
that
they,
you
know.
Let
us
know,
you
know
how
many
people
are
gonna,
be
participating
in
the
process.
With
this
new
legislation,
though,
if
somebody
is
there,
we
will
have,
we
will
have
the
ability
to
provide
them
the
time
to
register
and
vote
at
that
same
time,
so
they
would
have
the
same
rights.
Basically
as
anybody
else.
L
The
you
know
the
challenge
it
creates
for
us
is
that
you
know
normally.
We
know
exactly
how
many
ballots
to
send
out
there.
So
if
we've
got
50
participants,
we
can
send
out
55
ballots,
but
with
the
grace
period
now
we
you
know
may
have
to
accommodate
for
an
additional
25
or
so
ballots.
So
it's
just
an
inventory
issue
really.

Okay,
moving
on
to
new
business,
we've
covered
the
letter
of
commendation.
I
would
like
to
make
the
committee
aware
that
the
kankakee
county
animal
welfare
advisory
committee
will
be
meeting
tuesday
september
26th
at
10
a.m.
Following
executive
committee
here
in
this
room,
do
we
have
any
updates,
mrs
parker?
Mrs
dunbar?
Do
we
have
any
updates
from
that
committee.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Yes,
we
do
chairman
wheeler
and
I
met
last
week
to
put
together
an
agenda
for
the
first
meeting
and
there
will
be
we're
gonna,
be
setting
our
foundation
and
our,
hopefully
our
outcomes
and
goals
for
the
year
as
well
as
our
meeting
dates.
We
may
have
to
change
those
dates
to
accommodate
a
few
of
the
members
that
cannot
attend,
but
I
think
we're
set
and
we're
ready
to
go
all.
