Description
Community Services Committee Meeting 1/16/2018 9:00 AM
A
B
Welcome
and
thank
you
very
much
Sally
for
coming
today.
Clady
each
of
you
could
come.
It's
been
kind
of
a
busy
time.
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
on
January
16th
Community,
Services,
Committee
Todd
is
on
call
for
helping
school
buses
get
out
of
ditches.
He
couldn't
be
here
today.
It's
only
public
comment.
Oh.
A
A
A
C
B
Now
is
there
any
public
comment:
I
seen
a
1/4,
a
public
comment,
so
let's
go
to
the
next.
The
approval
of
the
minutes.
You've
received
technical
technology-wise,
the
minutes
from
the
December
19th
meeting.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
those
minutes,
tinker
tinker
moves
and
mr.
Vickery
seconds
all
in
favor,
say
aye,
please
all
opposed,
say:
aye
motion
carried
I
understand
this
guy,
a
voice
can't
be
here
today,
so
we
still
have
our
monthly
report.
Excuse
me:
oh.
A
B
A
A
A
B
D
Think
the
just
quickly
the
the
trend
over
the
past
year
has
shown
that
our
revenue
has
been
up
from
the
previous
year
that
you
carried
through
through
December
and
our
euthanasias
are
continue
to
be
down,
while
the
adoptions
and
transfers
tend
to
be
up
or
holding
study.
So
you
know
we're
really
happy
about
those
measures
that
we're
trying
to
take
to
go
in
the
right
direction.
I
can't
guarantee
that
it'll
happen
every
month,
but
we're
we're
striving
for
that
for
sure.
A
D
Call
that
we
get
we
respond
to
good.
If
we
get
a
call
today
we
respond
to
it.
If
we
get
a
call
tomorrow,
we
respond
to
it.
I
know
there
was
one
animal
in
particular
that
kind
of
blew
up
social
media
I
tried
to
address
it.
Of
course,
when
you
put
things
down
via
Facebook
on
me,
what
one
person
writes
and
the
other
person
reads:
never
it's
like
that's,
not
how
you
know
you
intend
something
or
they
read
it
differently.
D
I
was
really
I
tried
to
address
it
by
stating
you
with
this
really
blowing
up
on
social
media.
Please
understand
that
we
have
been
to
this
call
sheriffs
been
there
that
the
animal
had
what
was
by
law
even
by
our
ordinance,
because
we
we
did
pass
a
shelter
ordinance
and
by
ordinance
they
were
in
line
with
that
and
I
know.
A
lot
of
people
were
still
really
unhappy.
They
wanted
more,
they
wanted
more
I
can
tell
you
that
this
is
was
not
a
friendly
dog.
This
is
a
dog
that
we've
been
dangerous.
D
We
reported
that
to
the
area
that,
where
this
dog
lives
into
their
little
community
because
they
have
a
management
system,
not
sure
why
they're
allowing
the
dog
to
stay
there
so
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
children
in
that
in
that
area,
but
that's
their
choice.
We
did
advise
them
and
my
concern
and
I
and
I
really
didn't
feel
that
it
would
behoove
me
to
try
to
converse
this
further
on
social
media,
because
people
hear
what
they
want
to
hear
and
and
I
do
truly
appreciate
their
concern.
D
And
you
know
if
the
animal
had
nothing
absolutely.
We
want
those
eyes
and
ears
out
there
communicating
with
us,
but
because
this
dog
is
so
protective
I
have
to
think
that
all
the
people
that
kept
going
by
also
kept
this
dog
outside,
where
maybe,
if
he
things
were
quiet,
he
would
have
went
in
to
the
sheltered
area
where
there
at
least
was
some
heat
and
some
bedding
for
him.
Okay,
I
feel
truly
bad
for
the
dogs
out
there
us
that
nobody's
seen
that
probably
are
struggling
suffering.
Yes,.
E
E
D
F
A
follow-up
that
probably
falls
under
the
new
animal
abuse,
ordinances
and
and
the
things
that
we're
funding
on
the
state's
attorney
side
too,
for
us
to
be
able
to
take
that
extra
step
without
the
municipality.
If
it's,
if
in
fact
that
they
can't
be
reached
or
they
don't
respond
and
there's
still
evidence
of
abuse,
we
work
with
the
state's
attorney's
office.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
the
case
as
I.
D
D
Think
we
would
I
think
if
you
know
if
we
truly
felt
if
somebody
was
sending
us
a
picture
or
sending
us
a
video
and
saying
I,
can't
reach
anybody
in
my
municipality
there's
no
one
available.
No
one
will
go.
There.
Wasn't
a
situation
like
that
in
one
of
the
villages
and
they
said,
police
had
been
out
there
multiple
times,
but
they
weren't
really
seen
because
the
animal
would
either
be
around
this
corner
or
that
corner
I
myself
went
by
there
just
on
my
own
and
luckily
I
have
an
officer
that
takes
that
route.
D
So
you
know
we
weren't
opening
our
eyes
and
ears
when
and
where
we
can
to
try
to
prevent
that
type
of
thing
and
the
law
that
that
talks
about
the
extreme
weather
on
us
on
the
state
level.
What
people
sometimes
don't
understand?
They
think
that
it's
it's
a
quick,
you
can
go
get
them.
The
law
only
applies.
D
G
I
appreciate
your
response
and,
looking
into
all
of
them
and
like
you
said,
social
media
can
go
crazy,
either
way
and
I.
Think
there's
always
going
to
be
those
people
that
are
very
passionate,
I
mean
I,
I,
see
I'm
from
both
sides.
You
know
where
we've
had
pigs
that
lived
outside
all
winter.
You
know
this
winter
we
haven't
had
any
coincidentally,
but
you
know
where
we've
had
pigs,
but
they
qualify
under
what
the
ordinance
is,
but
there's
people
that
believe
that
an
animal
should
never
be
outside.
G
Well,
my
husband
believes
that
an
animal
should
never
be
inside.
So
you
know
it's.
You
know
our
dog
comes
certain
part
of
the
house
and
that's
it
and
you
know
it
just
is,
but
he
has
what
he
needs
when
he
is
outside
and
he
is
by
breed
an
outdoor
dog
he's
a
working
class
dog,
so
they
live
outdoors
they'd
rather
be
outside
than
inside,
but
so
I
appreciate
I
certainly
understand
people's
concern
when
they
see
it.
But
I
also
appreciate
that
at
least
year
that
we
do
have
that
ordinance.
G
D
I
could
follow
up
on
that
that
shelter
guideline
that
we
passed
as
an
ordinance
for
the
county
probably
only
applies
to
unincorporated
I,
can't
necessarily
enforce
that
in
in
the
villages
so
I
you
know.
Certainly
if
anybody's
got
an
ear
with
the
villages
or
municipalities,
you
know
a
suggestion
that
maybe
they
could
look
at
their
own
ordinance
and
look
at
ours
and
see
in
places
that
they
can
at
least
maybe
make
them
similar
I.
D
Don't
many
of
the
village
in
villages
and
municipalities
look
and
update
their
own
animal
section
of
their
their
village
or
municipal
ordinance
and
Sally
I,
appreciate
and
understand
both
sides
of
that
as
well.
I
grew
up
on
a
farm.
Our
dog
was
allowed
into
the
the
mudroom
area,
didn't
generally
come
in
the
house,
but
I
nor
the
cats.
However
I
was
probably
the
one
of
six
that
got
away
with
breaking
that
rule
of
getting
my
dog
or
cat
inside
the
house
with
me
on
numerous
occasions,
and
yes
might
my
own
pets
I
want
them
indoors.
D
You
know
they
can
they
go
outside
and
play
as
much
as
they
want,
but
I
want
to
keep
them
indoors.
Where
they
can
be
safe
and
warm,
but
well
we
want
people
to
abide
by
the
law.
We
also
can't
just
as
not
being
able
to
go
in
someone's
home
for
a
multi
pet
permit.
We
also
can't
violate
someone's
rights
in
other.
You
know
the
way
the
laws
and
ordinances
are
written.
B
D
Yeah
it
you
know
the
actual
kennel
area
the
animals
stay
warmer
than
we
do.
They
really
do.
The
the
pets
are
good.
They've
got
blankets,
we
upfront
as
humans.
We
sit
with
blankets
and
coats
and
scarves,
and
it's
you
know
the
building
is
just
so
old
and
inadequate.
You
know
it's.
It's
we're
sitting
right
on
top
of
a
concrete
slab,
we're
cold
most
of
the
time,
but
the
pets
are
warm
and
that's
really.
The
back
I'll
gets
really
cold
mm-hmm.
So
we're
really
careful
as
to
what
dogs
we
put
back
there.
D
You
know
a
northern
breed.
A
very
heavy
coated
breed
might
enjoy
that
cooler
back
Isle
as
opposed
to
a
thin
coated
breed,
and
that's
certainly
something
you
need
to
think
about
when,
when
the
state
law
defines
says
adequate
shelter
without
any
emotion,
define
adequate,
adequate
is
objective
and
on
the
type
of
animal,
the
environment,
a
lot
of
different
factors
and
that's
hard.
So
stakes
on
a
state
level
that
would
be
we
have
for
years
and
years
wanted
to
see
shelter
better
to
find
keep
trying
before.
B
D
B
D
We
do,
and
you
know
that
the
social
media
can,
you
know,
I'm
grateful
for
it.
For
the
most
part,
sometimes
you
try
to
get
out
there
and
educate
and
I
think
it's
just
really
folks
truly
being
sincerely
passionate
and
not
wanting
to
see
an
animal
suffer,
but
they
do
have
to
realize
that
there
are
guidelines
and-
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there-
mimicking
that
hey
folks,
you
know
these
are
the
guidelines
and-
and
sometimes
we
can
only
go
as
far
as
though
as
the
law
allows
us
to
and.
E
B
B
B
Dancing
my
speeding
in
question.
Second,
any
questions
about
the
report.
My
question
was
I
wonder
what
the
fees
going
up
is,
that
is
that
reflected
in
the
income.
Can
when
did
the
fees
start
going
up
this
January
first
Oh?
So
there's
no
reflection
in
them
at
this
time.
Any
other
questions
about
the
report,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed,
say
aye.
The
motion
is
carry
for
next
to
number
five
to
carry
glare
the
here's
his
his
report
is
attached.
Also,
it's
a
motion
to
a
previous
report.
B
A
I
I
I
I
Had
the
board
of
review
come
back
in
and
sign
the
final
abstract
reports
that
are
needed
from
my
department
once
that
was
done,
I
delivered
the
final
abstract
documents
to
Bruce
Clark,
and
it
was
one
of
his
last
official
acts
as
County
Clerk
to
sign
those
reports
that
he
needed
to
sign
and
get
it
off
in
the
mail
for
the
county.
I
know
that
was
completed.
I
I
According
to
the
calculations
that
we
had
in
the
system,
we
lost
about
six
million
dollars
just
a
little
over
six
million
dollars
of
assessed
value
due
to
the
assess
the
appeal
process.
That's
that's
a
pretty
low
number,
usually
it's
more
like
10
to
12
million.
So
six
million
was
a
low
reduction
number,
but
we
did
have
about
and
sixty-two
appeals
off
the
top
of
my
head,
which
is
a
low
number
again
as
well.
I
So,
along
with
that,
like
I,
said,
I
got
I
got
a
couple
of
questions
from
the
Department
of
Revenue
about
some
reductions
in
our
abstract.
I
did
reconcile
those
questions
with
them.
Last
week.
I
am
expecting
to
get
the
final
certification
or
the
certification
of
the
final
abstract
could
be
as
early
as
today,
but
sometime
maybe
this
week
last
year,
just
as
comparison,
we
got
it.
I
I
think
I'm
February
3rd,
so
anytime
in
the
next
week
or
two
I,
would
expect
to
have
that
and
know
that
we're
not
gonna
get
any
state
equalization
factor
at
this
level,
but,
like
I,
said
with
six
million
dollars
of
reduction.
There's
really
no
reason
that
we
would
get
any
equalization
factor
from
from
the
state.
I
did
also
schedule
our
new
year
role
with
dev
net
to
shift
from
2017
to
2018.
That's
gonna
happen
tomorrow
afternoon.
I
We
will
be
in
2018
for
the
assessment
year
once
that
happens,
we
do
update
the
calculations
for
the
farmland
values
for
2018,
we'll
do
that
right
away,
probably
at
the
end
of
this
week,
probably
Thursday,
and
we
will
then
start
to
generate
the
books
to
distribute
to
the
townships
so
that
they
can
begin
their
assessments
for
the
year
of
2018.
This
is
all
routine
and-
and
it's
basically
on
the
same
schedule
as
it
has
been
in
the
last
cut,
so
nothing
nothing
earth-shattering
there.
I
They
have
to
tell
us
whether
or
not
something
has
changed,
so
we
will
be
printing,
those
and
mailing
those
out
to
those
exempt
entities
pretty
shortly
here
and
also
just
wanted
to
bring
up
to
the
committee
that
we
will
also
be
performing
some
document
destruction
as
a
matter
of
routine
each
year.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
room
downstairs,
so
I'm
gonna
try
to
stay
on
top
of
that,
a
little
bit
better
than
we
have
in
the
past.
We
have
that
that
application
ready
to
go.
It
may
even
go
in
the
mail
today.
H
I
B
H
B
I
I
Prices,
the
farm
assessments
are
done
through
the
farmland
assessment,
technical
advisory
board,
with
some
advice
and
and
discussion
with
the
Department
of
Revenue.
They
come
up
with.
What's
called
a
P
I
value
of
P
I
assign
Monteux
activity
index
is
what
P
I
stands
for.
So
it
is
not
the
agricultural
economic
value.
It's
not.
I
I
I
F
A
question
about
the
the
border
review
process
and
the
six
million
as
you're
saying
the
perception
may
be
that
a
lot
of
it
is
because
of
P
tab,
and
you
know
major
industrial
reassessments
and
then
the
smaller
portion
may
be
private
citizens
having
their
properties.
You
know
challenging
that
assessment.
Would
that
be
a
correct
assumption
or
is
it
just
the
opposite?
Yeah.
I
They
have
to
exhaust
their
local
remedy,
which
is
board
of
review
when
that
that
entity
that
larger
entity
files
their
appeal,
they
don't
typically
have
the
appraisal
in
hand
at
that
time
and
because
they
don't
our
Board
of
Review,
really
has
nothing
to
act
on,
so
they
don't
typically
make
any
changes
at
our
level
through
Board
of
Review
on
a
large
industrial
or
commercial
entity.
So
the
six
million
that
we
are
seeing
as
a
reduction
is
largely
due
to
residential
property.
I
At
this
point,
once
they
go
to
P
tab,
P
tab,
everything
starts
over
again,
you
don't
have
to
use
the
same
evidence
that
you
did
at
the
local
jurisdiction,
so
by
then
they'll
have
their
appraisals
and
they'll
be
ready
to
go
that
that
could
be
two
years
down
the
line.
So
that's
a
great
point:
six
million
dollars
is
almost
exclusively
residential
and
some
light
commercial
that
can
be
resolved
at
the
local
level.
Sure.
F
And
then,
when
P
tab
decisions
are
made
its
applied
in
that
six
million
of
whatever
year
it's
applied.
So
let's
just
say
there
was
a
decision
made
in
2017
for
some
that
went
through
the
two-year
process
of
P
tab.
They
did
the
reduction,
then
it
would
hit
us
at.
That
point
is
that
is
that
correct?
It.
K
You
chairman
the
like
the
mayas
building,
look
at
that
okay,
my
building
and
they
tow
it
down.
They
took
a
building
down,
and
so
when
they
told
the
building
down,
there
appears
to
be
no
building
to
assess
just
land.
So
now
they
put
a
building
back
up.
So
it
brings
it
back
on
our
rolls,
probably
at
a
new
rate
or
I.
I
Will
be
discussing
that
matter,
specifically
with
that
Township
assessor
and
in
Bourbonnais,
but
yeah.
It
would
be
my
understanding
that
we
would
take
that
building
value,
probably
the
improvement
value
down
to
zero
and
then
have
to
put
the
new
building
on
as
as
new
construction.
Yes,
because
that
old
building
was
completely
removed.
That
would
that
would
seem
to
be
appropriate.
H
J
I
Itself,
the
building
permit
is
one
guide
to
what
the
value
of
property
is,
but
but
I
would
caution
to
be
a
little.
Careful
cost
doesn't
always
equal
value,
so
that
is
one
indicator
of
value,
but
it's
not
the
only
indicator
of
value.
If
you
were
to
look
at
market
trends,
you
look
at
an
income
approach
or
something
like
that.
It
may
be
markedly
different
than
what
was
actually
listed
on
the
building
permit
so
and
also
remember,
on
building
permits.
G
The
building
permits
only
for
the
structure
and
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
property
they're
only
they're
only
charging
the
contractor
or
the
whoever's
doing
the
the
project
or
the
the
building
itself.
That
is
only
for
the
actual
structure
itself
and
the
cost
of
building
that
structure,
not
for
the
property.
Correct.
I
Are
you
speaking
about
land,
correct
I
would
assume,
even
though
I've
never
prepared
one
myself
and
I
I
can
easily
ask
that
question.
I
would
assume
you
are
correct.
It's
the
improvements
itself
and
not
land
I
mean
if
they're
occupying
multiple
acres
of
land.
That
would
be
in
addition
to
what
was
constructed
on
it.
I've
heard
the
building
permit
yeah.
K
Just,
for
example,
the
Meijer
there
was
a
area
that
was
not
really
developed
with
just
a
man
and
they
put
a
gas
station
on
there.
Then
they
have
their
building
that
they've
totally
redone.
When
do
we
see
I,
guess
the
the
from
the
intangible
to
the
tangible
value,
that's
going
to
kind
of
reflect
our
overall
kind
of
what
is
gross
assets
of
the
county.
If
that
make
sense,
are.
I
You
speaking
about
when
that
value
would
have
would
appear
on
the
abstract,
correct.
Typically,
that's
done
when
the
village
would
or
this
entity.
If,
if
it's
something
in
the
unincorporated
area,
when
we
get
a
certificate
certificate
of
occupancy
from
that
date,
forward
is
when
we
would
typically
assess
the
structures.
So
until
you
know
the
building
permit
coming
out
is
is
nice,
but
that
doesn't
mean
the
work
is
done
once
once
it's
able
to
be
occupied,
that's
when
we
typically
assess
property
in.
K
I
I
would
assume
that
would
be
actually
at
the
discretion
of
the
authority
which
issues
the
occupancy
permit.
So
when
they're,
when
they're
building
inspectors
and
so
forth
go
out
and
they
say
that
it's
fit
for
occupancy,
that's
what
we
would
use,
but
what
their
threshold
is
is
probably
I
would
assume
it
would
be
different,
depending
on
who
you're
asking
and
what
kind
of
building
might
be.
G
He's
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Yes,
there
are
specific
guidelines,
whether
it's
a
home
or
business.
There
are
guidelines
that
have
to
be
followed.
You
know
like
the
inside
of
a
home
could
be
a
hundred
percent
ready.
But
if
there's
no
stairs
leading
up
to
the
home,
I
mean
it
may
sound
silly,
but
I
mean
something
even
like
that
so
well
there.
Yes,
there
are
definite
just
like
the
guidelines
we
were
talking
about
earlier
with
miss
Boudreau
for
animal
control.
H
I
Abatements
typically,
and
not
typically,
they
all
happen
in
the
clerk's
office.
So
I
want
to
be
very
careful.
How
I
address
that
and
I
don't
know
if
Dane
would
be
prepared
to
talk
about
that
today
as
well.
My
understanding
is
it's
a
it's
a
tiered
system
where
and
I'm
not
exactly
sure
the
first
year
I
think
there
are
no
taxes
paid.
I
The
next
year
is
a
20
percent
paid
than
40
60
and
80
you
get
up
to
a
hundred,
but
from
my
perspective
and
I,
do
want
to
make
this
clear
when,
when
an
assessment
is
created,
the
fact
that
it's
an
init
in
an
enterprise
zone
has
no
bearing
on
the
value
itself.
We
value
it
as
if
there
are
no
abatements
or
exemptions
on
the
property,
so
it
would
go
in
the
tax
roll
at
a
hundred
percent
of
whatever
the
Assessor
thought
it
was
should
be
valued
at
and
then
the
abatement
would
happen
down
down.
B
Great,
thank
you.
Anyone
else
well
I've
been
reading
it
on
the
Tribune,
the
qualms
of
the
Cook
County,
Assessor's,
Office
and
I
come
to
appreciate
you
all
the
time,
because
the
integrity
I
see
and
the
Assessors
that
we
have
in
the
county.
So
the
only
question
I
have
is,
do
you
have?
Did
you
have
them
all?
Did
you
get
them
all?
So
there
was
someone
in
Pembroke
to
then
that's.
I
Still
an
unresolved
situation,
and
it's
really
part
of
it.
A
big
part
of
that
is
because
the
education
authorities
that
we
use
the
Department
of
Revenue
typically
and
the
Illinois
property
assessment
Institute
don't
really
have
classes
in
January.
So
when,
when
that
Assessor
chose
not
to
rerun,
even
though
it
seems
like
he
may
be
willing
to
be
reappointed,
the
first
opportunity
would
happen
in
February
and
actually
the
the
discussion
we
had
was.
It
may
be
best
for
him
to
take
a
class
which
actually
doesn't
happen
until
said,
I
think
it's
February
27.
I
I
If
he's
unable
to
get
himself
completely
qualified,
then
like
we
spoke
last
time,
the
the
township
officials
have
some
avenues
that
they
can
use
and
if
they'd,
like
my
guidance
on
some
different
ways
that
that
can
be
done,
we
can
do
that,
but
it's
certainly
up
to
the
townships
themselves.
To
determine
what
they
want
to
do
with
that
and
I
want
to
make
that
very
clear
and.
I
Boots
on
the
ground-
and
we
really
appreciate
their-
you
know,
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
I'm
most
proud
of
with
our
department
is
the
great
relationships
we
have
with
all
of
the
township
Assessors
that
are
currently
in
office
and
I.
Think
that
even
was
strengthened
a
bit
when
then
Tony
took
over
Norton,
you.
I
B
K
One
other
words
so,
therefore,
when
we
look
at
one
of
the
new
buildings
and
things
are
being
built,
especially
when
all
girls
are
being
demolished
because
I'm,
assuming
that
with
old,
older
building
or
older
structures,
if
they
are
on
the
business
in
or
the
accounting
in,
they
take
a
pre
appreciation
for
the
building,
which
means
what
they
built
it
for
now.
What
they
consider
it
to
be
worth
is
a
variable
of
a
difference.
K
I
So
you
can
tell
a
little
bit
what
depreciation
exists
in
the
market
to
your
point
of
whether
or
not
it's
a
plus
to
the
county,
while
I'm,
not
an
economic
development
guy
but
I'd
have
I'd
have
to
say
that
it's
going
to
be
something
that
the
county
as
a
whole
will
benefit
from
all
the
way
down.
The
line
I'd
have
to
say
that
that
must
be
true.
H
I
That's
something
that
I
can't
substantiate
sitting
here
right
now,
but
I
will
tell
you
that
one
of
my
colleagues
near
the
Peoria
Peoria
area
in
Fulton
County,
told
me
that
about
30
percent
of
his
abstract
was
farm
related
value.
It
was
not
non-farm
residential
commercial
industrial.
So
when
you
get
down
in
this
other
portions
of
the
county
of
the
state,
excuse
me
those
counties,
I
would
assume,
are
very
heavily
involved
in
in
farmland
being
controlling
the
abstract.
I
F
You,
the
it
is
purely
to
mr.
Vickers
point
I
just
had
to
do
this
analysis
on
capital
purchases.
It
is
purely
a
tax
issue
on
the
depreciation
of
those
capital
assets
buildings
with
the
new
the
new
tax
plan
that
was
passed
by
Congress.
You
can
depreciate
that
asset
entirely
in
the
first
year
where
it
used
to
be
only
10%
per
year.
So
it's
spurring
a
lot
of
capital,
development
and
growth.
It's
one
of
the
geniuses
of
that
tax
plan
and
that's
not
a
partisan
statement.
If
you're
looking
at
it
from
a
purely
economic
development
standpoint.
J
F
B
F
H
B
A
B
I
B
C
A
L
Ma'am
chairman
board
members
good
morning
morning,
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
on
the
monthly
report,
just
we're
an
FYI
those
fees
compared
to
the
same
time
period
up
a
year
ago
about
10%
higher,
not
necessarily
attributed
attributable
to
any
specific
thing.
We
had
a
little
bit
a
bit
of
a
bump
in
passports,
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
in
marriage
licenses
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
in
tax
redemptions,
so
across
the
board
about
10%
higher
than
what
it
was
the
same
time.
L
A
year
ago,
next
thing
I'd
like
to
touch
base
on
if
you'll
indulge
me
is
our
voter
registration
contract.
I
know
several
months
ago
we
had
spoken
to
all
of
you
that
we
were
investigating
upgrading
our
voter
registration
software.
The
company
that
we
talked
to
is
a
platinum
technology.
We've
looked
at
their
software,
they've
done.
You
know
a
couple
of
presentations
here
we
went
down
to
Sangamon
County,
where
they've
got
it
up
and
running
they're
very
pleased
with
it.
We
asked
them
to
provide
us
with
the
contract.
L
The
contract
that
they
provide
us
is
approximately
twenty
five
hundred
to
three
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Less
than
what
we're
paying
for
our
current
vendor
now
not
to
diminish
the
work
that
our
vent,
our
current
vendor
is
doing,
but
we
believe
that
this
software
will
provide
us
with
a
more
efficient
solution
for
processing
the
voter
registrations,
especially
with
the
the
increasing
numbers
of
what
we're
going
to
be
getting
online
through
the
state
boards
website
through
Eric
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
a
moment
and
with
automatic
voter
registration
through
driver's
license
facilities.
L
I
don't
know
that
we
have
a
good
handle
on
what
we're
gonna
be
getting.
It's
gonna
be
an
addition.
You
know
what
percentage
increase,
but
clearly
it's
going
to
be
more
so
for
us
to
be
able
to
efficiently
process
those
jurisdictions
are
being
able
to
process
that
are
using
this.
Software
are
taking
what
we
can
do
in
a
month's
time
and
getting
it
done
in
a
couple
days.
L
So
we've
we've
taken
this
contract.
We
signed
it
to
the
state's
attorney
to
review.
They
had
a
couple
of
issues.
Minor
issues,
as
far
as
languaging
is
for
the
language
concerns
as
far
as
protecting
the
county
in
case
of
liability
they've
sent
those
concerns
to
platinum.
A
platinum
had
no
no
concerns
at
all
with
the
the
corrections
there.
The
suggestions
that
the
county
made
the
contract
that
you
have
before
you
that
I
that
was
in
your
pack
and
I
gave
to
you-
is
the
revised
contract
in
the
state's
attorney.
B
A
K
K
B
F
As
a
note,
it's
below
the
thirty
thousand
dollar
threshold,
even
though
it
is
a
services
contract
and
not
necessarily
a
brick-and-mortar,
it
doesn't
need
to
be
bid
out
because
not
every
but
we're
still
below
the
threshold,
even
if
it
was
something
that
was
to
quality
peers.
Now
are
we
approving
this
to
be
sent
to
finance
or
reproving
it
to
be
sent
to
the
full
board?
I
think
we
can
send
it
to
the
full
board,
because
it's
not
it's
already.
F
B
K
L
M
L
Current
the
answer
to
both
is
at
one
there's
no
problem
with
us
getting
out
of
our
current
contract.
We
can
provide
them
with
X
number
of
days
notice,
I,
believe
it's
30
days,
notice
that
we
will
no
longer
be
using
their
software,
we'll
still
continue
to
use
their
software
through
the
primary.
Not
one
of
those
things
that
I
want
to
interject
prior
to
an
election
is
a
new
voter
registration
software.
A
L
Things
going
with
that,
the
second
one
will
the
software
the
hardware
work
for
it
for
almost
all
of
our
hardware.
There
should
be
no
change.
The
one
machine
that
I
would
like
to
upgrade
would
be
the
one
that
we
have
up
in
front
for
our
early
voting.
That
computer
is
possibly
one
of
the
oldest
in
the
building,
so
it
was
one
of
those
things
that
we
were
looking
to
upgrade
at
some
point
this
year
anyway,.
B
L
F
C
K
C
L
If
I,
if
you'll
be
so
kind
to
indulge
me
just
a
few
other
things
that
like
to
touch
base
on
I
did
mention
talked
about
Eric,
that's
our
electronic
voter
registration
updates
that
we
get
from
the
state
we
get
those
twice
a
year.
We
did
get
our
most
current
Eric
dumped
in
between
Christmas
and
New
Year's.
L
We're
currently
going
through
those
we're
down.
In
the
two
weeks,
two
and
a
half
weeks
that
we've
been
processing,
those
were
down
to
about
two
thousand
left
to
go.
It
is
a
time
consuming
process,
probably
about
forty.
The
registrations
that
we
get
through
this
through
the
State
Board
are
ones
that
we've
already
gotten
the
updated
registration
on,
but
we
have
to
examine
them
too
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
the
most
current
information.
L
Some
other
election
dates
a
like
to
touch
base
on
just
for
your
information
tomorrow
is
the
last
day
for
anybody
to
withdraw
their
candidacy
for
the
general
primary
election.
Thursday
is
the
last
day
that
anyone
can
file
to
be
a
write-in
candidate
on
February.
2Nd
is
the
day
that
we
have
to
have
development
ballots
out
to
our
military
and
overseas
voters.
L
Otherwise
we
get
in
big
trouble
with
the
the
Department
of
State,
but
we've
always
hit
our
dates.
So
February
8th
is
our
first
day
for
early
voting,
so
we'll
be
open
core
for
ballot
casting
in
the
county
on
February,
8th
and
then
one
other
thing
that
I
know
we've
talked
about
this
a
couple
years
ago
for
the
date
of
the
primary
election,
because
we
have
so
many
different
election
calls.
I
would
like
to
basically
close
the
office
down
to
all
nine
election
functions.
Two
years
ago
you
gave
us
our
blessing
to
do
that.
L
J
K
A
B
B
L
L
B
L
B
J
I
B
Turning
next
to
old
business,
do
you
recall
any
old
business
from
last
minutes,
yeah,
okay,
then
we
turned
to
an
important
new
business
right.
This
marker
would
do
on
it
speak
to
that
a
minute.
Well,
let's
ask
if
you,
if
you
have
your
packet
open
the
application
for,
is
this
veterinarian
person?
Oh
and
explain?
First
of
all,
why
is
there
an
opening
and
then
we'll
go
for
that.
E
Recently
we
had
a
resignation
from
the
animal
welfare
Advisory
Committee
and
we
then
opened
up
the
applications
for
a
new
member
to
join
us
and
I
am
very
excited
to
see
that
doctor
Federer,
who
I've
known
for
many
years,
applied
to
be
on
the
committee,
and
you
can
see
by
her
qualifications.
She
is
highly
qualified
and
I
can't
endorse
her
any
more
than
I
am
right.
Now
she
is
excited
to
be
even
considered
to
be
on
this
committee.
We're
excited
to
even
have
her
join
us,
and
that
brings
us
to
two
bets
on
our
committee.
E
Dr.
Federer
has
been
in
our
community
for
a
long
time.
She's
worked
not
only
a
County
West,
but
also
at
aroma.
Many
other
people
in
this
community
have
used
her
as
a
veterinarian.
She
serves
on
many
boards
and
community
organizations,
and
I
will
say
that
she
is
going
to
be
a
huge
asset
to
our
committee
and
I'm
excited
and
I
can't
endorse.
Like
I
said
her
any
more
than
I
am
right
now,
I,
just
so
I'm
over
the
moon.
They
have
her
well.
E
B
B
Last
one
I
asked:
let's
take
the
hold
first
then,
and
now
I
guess
it
all.
In
favor
of
that
motion,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
aye
in
motion
carried
when
I
asked
Julie
how
how
things
were
going
with
her
committee
and
she
said
you're
doing
a
good
you're
doing
a
fine
job
of
agreeing
on
what
you
can
agree
on.
So
that's
what
you
would
say
to
your.
E
So
the
team
members
are
showing
up.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
several
people
from
different
shelters
and
just
a
few
people
that
are
just
animal
lovers,
have
been
coming
to
the
meetings
and
we
do
have
a
public
comments
and
we
do
limit
those
I
do
watch
that
time
and
but
we
do
we're
sticking
to
the
plan
and
that's
what
I'm
happy
about
and
Julie
has
brought
that
website
up
and
it's
interactive
with
a
community
for
them
to
not
only
check
their
own
pets
as
far
as
rabies,
shots,
but
also
information.
E
One
of
our
biggest
goals
is,
as
we
are
talking
about.
What
is
the
map
for
Animal
Control?
Many
people
are
thinking
that
OS
Animal
Control
is
for
everybody,
so
we're
trying
to
educate
people
the
community
of
what
actually
is
covered
with
Julie's
area,
not
municipalities,
but
outlying
areas,
and
so
we're
it's
educational.
It's
interactive,
we're
gonna,
get
our
GIS
map
up
of
what
is
covered.
E
The
other
thing
that
we're
doing
is
just
working
with
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
that
we
have
right
now
is
the
selling
of
animals
and
wildlife
through
social
media
and
with
the
they
have
a
sort
of
a
animal
thing
out
at
the
County
Fairgrounds,
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
sales
out
in
the
parking
lab
that
we
feel
are
not
the
best
way
to
do
that.
So
we're
going
to
we're
looking
into
that
with
the
state's
attorney's
office
as
well.
So
we've
been
pretty
busy
in
the
few
months
we've
been
active
in.
B
E
F
Bird,
very
briefly,
I
don't
have
a
question
no
I'm
just
kidding
the
real
brief
I
hear
a
lot
of
the
downstream
communications
about
what
animal
control
does.
How
is
it
going
from
the
public
trying
to
get
something
accomplished,
going
back
the
other
direction
and
having
assess
our
ordinances?
Is
there
any
background
discussions
going
on
what
were
we
should
be
doing
and
vetting
how
we
could
get
that
accomplished
being
whatever
roadblock
established
as
presented
its
own?
Yes,.
E
F
A
E
F
F
F
B
E
I
just
have
one
more
comment:
we
are
working
on
public
relations
piece
to
get
the
information
out
to
the
public,
but
we're
not
ready
and
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
that
hasn't
been
cleared
through
mr.
wheeler
and
with
mr.
Rowe
as
well.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everything
is,
as
should
be
before
we
roll
it
out.
B
B
Here's
your
benefits
job
and
the
different
rates
were
available.
They
could
do
whatever
in
whichever
anyway
they
wanted
to
so
there.
You
are
okay,
good
discussion,
everybody
thank
you
for
coming.
Is
there
any
other
business
that
you'd
like
to
talk
about
today?
It's
our
motion
to
adjourn,
look
sevens
mr.
Snipes.
Second,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed,
say,
aye
motion
carried.
