Please
help
us
to
focus
on
each
other's
qualities
and
on
our
Common
Ground.
Instead
of
our
differences,
we
give
thanks
for
giving
us
the
capability
and
patience
to
see
things
from
different
perspectives
and
the
ability
to
respect
those
who
have
different
points
of
view
help
us
to
always
respect
the
Sacred
Space.
Where
our
missions
meet
to
improve
our
communities,
we
ask
that
you
would
guide
our
thoughts
and
actions
to
bring
you
glory.
We
thank
you
for
your
goodness.

say:
aye
aye
aye,
those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
thank
you
under
consent.
I
just
mentioned
the
first
item.
It
should
say
May
9th
instead
of
February
9th,
that's
a
typo
on
there
beyond
that
is
there
any
other
item
that
needs
to
come
off
to
be
considered
separately.
Once
you
look
through
there
momentarily.
A
A
We
also
have
to
pull
the
Dave
horn
item.
They
mixed
up.
The
trustee
That
was
supposed
to
be
expired,
so
they
sent
us
the
wrong
paperwork
for
the
trustee
that
was
expired
next
month.
We'll
fix
that
one
with
the
correct
person
so
we're
it's
not
he's.
Still
there
I
just
we
forgot
to
mention
that
we're
pulling
that
from
the
agenda,
I
apologize
for
that.
It
just
happened
this
morning.
So
sorry
about
that,
that's,
okay,
the.

A
A
F
Might
be
easier
to
go
to
the
top
anyway,
we
can
probably
get
started
because
that's
a
little
hard
to
read
up
there
anyway,
you
should
have
the
full
text
in
your
packet.
Maybe
on
your
screens
there,
okay,
current
zoning
ordinance
places
some
variances
into
a
which
are
usually
relatively
minor
variances
into
a
category
where
they
are
approved
or
denied
by
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals.
F
So
you
have
your
public
hearing,
the
zoning
board
votes
on
it
and
it's
done
and
we
felt
that
not
having
the
checks
and
balances
of
going
all
the
way
to
the
County.
Board
was
just
not
good
government
and
we
really
needed
those
checks
and
balances.
So
we've
altered
the
ordinance
to
to
amend
that
section
of
it
to
make
all
variances,
regardless
of
what
type
go
all
the
way
to
the
county
board
for
final
approval.
A
All
right
is
there
any
other
questions
about
that.
It
was
pretty
pretty
cut
and
dried.
It's
we
do
use
EBA
as
a
recommendation.
Citizens
board
they
vote.
We
have
to
establish
if
we
go
against
their
own
findings.
In
fact,
we
have
to
establish
our
own,
so
they're
a
valuable
part
of
the
process,
but
it
shouldn't
end
in
certain
cases
at
zba.

Okay,.
A
I
guess
it'd
be
appropriate.
Mr
carrico.
Is
that
a
motion
that
you
would
make
being
our
representative
on
that
board
and
the
chair
he
makes
that
motion
to
approve
is
our
second
we're
with
Mr
Hunter
on
that
one
with
a
second
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
understands
this,
because
this
is
really
kind
of
our
request.
A
as
we're
spending
money.
We
want
to
know
that
it's
having
an
impact
in
the
certain
areas
that
aren't.
Why
would
you
fund
and
the
things
that
are
working?
That's
when
you
go
start
knocking
on
the
doors
for
the
Nickels
so
and
in
this
case
I
think
they're
dimes
these
days.
So
the
is
there
any
questions
about
that.
I
want
to
make
sure
this
is
a
total
health
department,
County
Board
partnership
here
and
a
lot
of
enthusiastic
people
behind
this.
A
To
get
this
going
it
could
it
could
the
tool
could
translate
all
the
way
from
somebody
walking
into
one
service
provider
for
the
whatever
they
do,
and
then
it
they
can
find
out
that
a
lot
of
their
issues
are
jurored
for
either
substance,
abuse
or
or
lack
of
Transportation
or
lack
of
a
job
or
whatever
else
this
plugs
them
into
those
people
that
actually
do
that.
It's
a
referral
system
and
it's
it's
a
huge
step
in
this
community
cannot
describe
how
much
this
could
mean
to
us
if
it
works
like
it
should
so.
A
They
see
the
value
and
they're
going
to
run
with
it
over
the
next
three
years
and
then,
if
we
keep
doing
it
after
that,
it's
a
ridiculously
low
amount
of
money
that
we
may
need
not
even
have
to
ask
all
of
the
community
providers.
We
could
just
pay
for
them,
16
grand
that
that's
really
not
a
lot,
if
you're
connecting
all
of
the
social
service
providers
so
and
then,
if
it
doesn't
work,
why
would
you
spend
the
money
right?
So
that's
what
we'll
know
in
26..
A
A
A
and
maybe
even
after
a
little
bit
if
it's
people
that
have
graduated
to
get
them
into
vocational
training
or
whatever
else,
Training
Center
KCC
the
whole
deal
the
whole
Spectrum.
So
things
that
really
drive
down
the
cost
of
what
the
taxpayers
have
to
pay
for
in
the
county,
which
is
80
percent,
is
Public
Safety.
A
So,
if
you're
able
to
attack
that
which
we
know
a
lot
of
the
public
safety
is
where
we
have
those
mental
health
interactions,
whether
it's
mental
health
substance
abuse,
lack
of
training,
lack
of
skills,
all
those
things
mixed
together,
we
can
address
that.
It
actually
impacts
people's
tax
bill
along
with
other
people's
lives.
So
I
think
that's
what
we're
looking
to
do
and
did
am
I
missing
anything
there.
John,
okay,.
E
A
C
A
D
A
I
think
it's
a
good
idea,
yeah
thanks
for
bringing
that
up,
even
though
they're
kind
of
doing
that
internally,
we
still
should
announce
it
here,
so
one
one
opening
as
a
trustee
on
the
moments
Fire
Protection
District.
So
if
there
is
somebody
else
that
wants
to
apply
obviously
the
same,
that
would
apply
because
she's
the
same
word
twice.
If
there's
two
people
that
come
to
executive
committee
and-
and
one
motion
comes
out
of
that,
so
so,
if
it's
three
same
same,
is
there
any
new
business
today?
C
C
What
what's
conversation
the
conversation
that
we
had
when
when
you
spoke
with
Elizabeth
Monroe,
and
she
told
you
at
that
time-
it
wasn't
her
office
that
to
forward
it
to
the
to
the
the
other
office
regarding
section
9V
of
the
Illinois
state
constitution,
no,
no
update
through
a
ceiling
process.
As
far
as
I
know.
