We
have
a
quorum.
A
I
J
F
When
the
secretary
of
war
edwin
stanton
received
the
order
he
refused
to
carry
it
out.
He
said
that
the
president
was
a
was
lacking
in
judgment.
That's
not
what
he
said,
but
that's
the
essence
of
it
lincoln
was
told
that
stanton
what
stanton
had
said
and
replied.
If
stanton
says
that
I
lack
judgment
then
I
must,
for
he
is
nearly
always
right.
I
will
see
for
myself
and
as
the
two
men
talk,
the
president
quickly
realized
that
his
decision
was
a
serious
mistake
and
without
hesitation
he
withdrew
it
though
stanton
had
called
president
lacking.
F
F
It
can
be
infuriating
or
even
more
personal.
Have
you
ever
refused
to
listen
to
advice?
Proverbs
12
15
says
the
way
of
a
fool
seems
right
to
them,
but
the
wise
listen
to
advice.
People
may
not
always
be
right,
but
the
same
goes
for
us,
knowing
that
everyone
makes
mistakes,
only
fools
assume
that
they
are
the
exception.
F
L
A
L
L
L
A
A
Is
there
a
motion
on
these,
mr
carrico?
A
second
miss
parker,
we're
waving
the
reading
because
we've
got
a
lot
of
business
today.
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
you
know,
please
refer
to
the
proclamation,
that's
about
what
I
can
say.
So
with
that
we
can
do
a
voice
vote.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye,
those
opposed
same
sign
and
we
need
to
do
roll
call
on
purchases.
B
M
A
Lobster
motion
carries
motion,
carries
she'll,
be
back
certificates
of
appreciation.
I
have
linda
settle
in
the
county
clerk's
office,
10
years
dan
fritzer
in
the
sheriff's
department,
15
years,
shawn
lutke
in
the
highway
department,
20
years
and
ken
mccabe
in
the
sheriff's
department
25
years.
I
think
ken's
here
with
the
sheriff
in
the
back
yeah.
N
I
can't
tell
you
how
mad
chief
mccabe
is
right
now
so
post
covet
or
during
covet
whatever
it
is,
we
haven't
been
able
to
present
certificates
of
appreciation
for
years
of
service,
but
I
think
most
of
you
know,
chief
mccabe
has
been
with
us
now
for
25
years.
Prior
to
that
he
was
with
the
city
of
kankakee.
C
Thank
you.
It's
been
an
honor.
I
respect
the
job.
You
guys
do
every
day
it's
a
we've
been
through
some
tough
times.
I
say
some
of
these
years
have
been
like
dog
years,
but
you
guys
have
always
shown
up
and
done
the
job
and
you
know
we're
not
perfect.
We
make
mistakes,
but
we
help
each
other
out
and
that's
a
great
thing
about
working
in
this
county.
Thanks
thanks
chief.
A
E
Good
morning
do
a
sound
check.
First,
can
anybody
hear
me
yup?
Yes,
okay,
good
morning,
I
brought
those
financial
information
to
the
attention
of
chairman
wheeler
and
administrator
speckman
last
thursday,
and
then
chairman
wheeler
asked
me
to
do
this
short
presentation
with
you
this
morning,
so
the
first
column
represents
our
2020
and
how
that
will
look
financially
when
our
year-end
audit
financial
statements
come
out
at
the
next
finance
committee.
E
E
How
are
we
running
on
our
own
without
that
relief,
so
the
second
column
or
the
middle
column
on
the
screen
represents
what
2020
would
have
looked
like
with
all
the
changes
from
the
pandemic
and
including
still
including
the
cost
measures
by
departments,
but
without
any
federal
covered
relief
from
the
federal
government?
So,
as
you
can
see,
that
would
affected
us
quite
drastically
and
then
for
those
that
were
on
the
finance
committee
or
watch
the
finance
committee
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
E
I
remember
we
went
through
a
number
of
scenarios
and
the
finance
committee
set
the
ending
fund
balance
threshold
of
a
million
dollars
which
represented
a
level
that
would
trigger
any
operating
changes
to
the
budget.
If
we
were
to
drop
below
that,
so
you
could
see
if
we
would
not
have
received
open
release.
We
were
about
at
that
threshold
and
then
the
third
column
is
the
estimated
year-end
for
our
current
fiscal
year
2021
and
running
also
without
covet
release.
E
So
we
all
know
that
we
have
relief
coming
from
the
american
recovery
plan
is
coming
soon,
but
chairman
wheeler
administrator
specman,
and
I
thought
it
would
be
important
to
disclose
and
remind
the
board
what
changes
the
pandemic
has
caused
to
the
county's
normal
operations
without
any
relief
and
to
remind
everyone
that
the
federal
coven
relief
money
will
not
last
forever.
So
this
is
just
a
reminder
that
covet
has
impacted
the
county
and
its
normal
operations.
E
A
K
Thank
you
chairman,
but
the
I
mean
I
look
at
this
revenue,
but
the
effect
that
covet
has
had
on
this
county.
Much
of
the
sales
tax
revenue
was
drastically
reduced
because
a
lot
of
the
business
and
things
have
kind
of
closed.
My
question
would
be
given
the
the
the
balance
of
equity
if
the
sale,
if,
if
covert
now
becomes
a
non-issue
and
the
tax
base
began
to
raise,
because
people
could
begin
to
shop
again,
eating
do
do
etc,
etc.
K
E
Do
you
want
me
to
take
that
chairman,
please,
okay,
yeah!
Yes,
mr
snyder,
that's
been
taken
into
consideration,
we're
early
in
the
in
what
we're
seeing
in
the
sales
tax
numbers
we're
always
four
months
behind
in
what
we
know.
There's
a
variance
in
any
of
these
projections.
This
early
in
the
year,
you
know
of
a
couple
hundred
thousand
dollars.
You
know
so
obviously
that
couldn't
improve,
but
I
don't
believe
that's
enough
to
balance
us
back
out.
A
A
We
got
coveted
with
this
project
a
little
bit
if
that's
a
verb,
but
we
had
to
kind
of
hold
off
on
these
things
a
little
bit
face-to-face
meetings
and
the
like,
but
we
finally
have
now
the
space
needs
presentation
for
our
strategic
planning,
and
we
have
jason
dwyer
here
and
reagan,
pattison
from
white
and
company
and
jason's
back
here
at
the
mic,
he's
going
to
run
through
some
things
and
when
we
get
through
there'll
be
chance
for
some
questions.
Now
you
have
an
abbreviated
version
of
this.
A
I
think
we
sent
the
whole
thing
via
email.
Did
we
not?
Yes?
So
we
did
and
we've
got
like
five
hard
copies
upstairs
if
people
want
to
come
up
and
take
a
look,
but
you
should
have
all
the
information.
These
are
like
the
high
points
and
things
that
we
should
probably
pay
special
attention
to.
So
what,
with
that
jason.
O
Happy
to
be
here
today
again,
I'm
jason
dwyer
with
white
company,
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
overview.
This
is
the
full
report.
I
think
everybody's
got
an
electronic
copy
of
it.
I'm
going
to
touch
on
some
of
the
key
points
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
the
county
engaged
this
to
take
a
close
look
at
your
space.
These
projections
over.
O
So
you
can
see
on
the
screen.
We've
got
a
listing
of
the
different
groups.
We
worked
with
so
predominantly
focusing
on
the
core
county
government
functions
as
well
as
core
judicial
functions,
pretty
much
hit
all
the
primary
departments,
with
the
exception
of
groups
like
the
health
department,
regional
office
of
education,
and
we
didn't
look
at
the
sheriff's
facilities
and
jail
area
as
well.
The
only
component
of
the
sheriff
that
we
touched
on
the
space
needs
study
was
the
functions
of
the
sheriff's
office
that
directly
support
the
judicial.
O
So,
on
the
next
slide,
we
can
take
a
look
at
this.
Just
shows
you
a
map
of
current
facilities,
I'm
sure
everybody
knows
where,
where
your
facilities
are
at
on
the
left
side,
it's
kind
of
a
broader
view
touching
on
some
of
the
other
outlying
facilities
and
then
the
right
side,
the
ones
bounded
in
the
red
box.
The
other
part
of
our
assessment
was
to
take
a
look
at
the
facilities
themselves.
Now
we
weren't
doing
an
exhaustive
evaluation
of
you
know
the
roofs
and
the
mechanical
systems.
O
We
did
an
overview
of
the
conditions
of
the
facility,
but
really
with
a
focus
on
how
were
the
facilities
supporting
the
efficient
operations
or
the
operations
in
terms
of
a
modern
context
of
the
different
departments
that
we
were
interviewing
so
on
the
next
slide,
I
think
we've
got
a
listing
of
the
five
kind
of
main
facilities.
We
looked
at
this
building
here:
the
administrative
center
highway
department,
the
old
vac,
the
courthouse
and
the
court
annex
so
generally.
O
O
You
know
this
happens
in
a
lot
of
counties
that
you
have
situations
where
the
buildings
either
were
not
purpose
built
for
the
functions
that
are
going
on
in
the
building
or
in
the
case
of
your
old
historic
courthouse.
Just
it's
a
it's
a
different
era.
You
know
it's
not
built
for
modern
court
operations,
so
I'll
touch
on
that
a
little
bit
more
as
we
dig
into
the
presentation,
but
just
kind
of
an
overview,
I'd
say
in
general,
the
facilities
we
would
classify
as
fair,
fair
condition.
O
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
issues
relative
to
some
of
the
mechanical
systems.
Some
of
the
finishes
are
getting
dated,
not
that
those
are
critical
issues,
but
we
found
in
a
number
of
the
facilities
that
you
know
they
probably
could
benefit
from
some
air
quality
improvement
measures.
You
know,
that's
certainly
been
a
hot
with
kovac,
just
analyzing
different
situations
with
air
indoor
air
quality
and
then,
in
the
case
of
the
courthouse,
really
one
of
the
biggest
things
there
is.
O
O
So
one
of
the
big
things
we
look
at
is
we're
thinking
about
projections,
for
the
future
is
tying
the
assessment
to
population
increases.
So
this
data
is
from
your
kankakee
area,
transportation,
study,
the
cats,
2040
long-range
transportation
plan
and
what
you'll
see
in
this
graphic
is
there's
actually
been
a
slight
different
population
in
probably
the
last
10
years,
but
then
there's
two
kind
of
diverging
models
for
future
population
growth.
O
So,
as
we
looked
at
the
methodology
in
terms
of
how
to
do
the
projections,
we
opted
to
use
the
low
range
projection
model
at
this
point
just
to
be,
I
think,
a
little
bit
more
practical
about
what
the
impacts
might
be
for
population
growth
and
it's
pretty
limited
growth
over
the
next
20
years,
so
that
just
kind
of
sets
the
stage
now.
Certainly,
you
know
the
thing
about
studies
like
this
is
new
data
comes
into
play
at
various
times.
It
could
be
legislative
driven
situations
that
may
have
an
impact
on
staffing
or
space
needs.
O
So
I
don't
expect
you
to
read
all
this,
but
in
section
four
of
the
report
talks
about
how
we
think
about
space
standards,
so
we
look
at
it
as
sort
of
a
building
process.
So
if
you
look
at
this
room,
for
example,
we
start
with
a
net
space
standard
which
would
be
the
area
inside
the
four
walls
of
the
room.
What's
listed,
there
is
sort
of
standard
government
guidelines
for
spaces
for
different
types
of
rooms
and
functions.
O
So
if
you
think
about
a
department,
you
know,
let's
just
say
the
finance
department,
just
for
example,
we
would
aggregate
a
number
of
net
spaces
together,
add
a
little
bit
of
what
we
call
a
grossing
factor
to
account
for
circulation
and
other
things
that
need
to
take
place
for
that
entire
I'll
call.
It
office
suite
and
that's
a
department
gross
area.
O
So
all
the
space
standards
department
by
department
are
listed
as
a
department
gross
and
then,
as
you
think
about
that,
in
the
context
of
a
whole
building,
you
add
another
factor
to
account
for
exterior
walls.
Mechanical
spaces,
elevators
stairs
that
kind
of
thing
to
get
to
a
building
grows.
So
that
just
gives
you
a
framework.
All
of
our
assessment
is
based
on
department
growth
for
the
departments,
because
then,
if
you
push
and
pull
or
adjust
where
people
reside,
you
can
aggregate
those
together
and
then
think
about
how
that
would
translate
to
a
full
building.
O
O
You'd
have
in
a
traditional
modern
courthouse,
some
of
the
detention
components
and
security
components
you'd
have
in
a
modern
courthouse,
or
even
things
like
the
size
of
the
actual
courtrooms
themselves,
to
accommodate
litigants
in
the
well
spectators,
even
at
the
bench
itself
are
all
smaller
than
what
we
would
see
in
kind
of
modern
court
standards.
So
what
this
shows
is
what
we
call
court
sets
is
we
think
about
like
a
criminal
court?
Maybe
it's
got
a
jury
in
the
courtroom.
O
It's
got:
attorney-client
meeting
rooms,
on-floor
detention,
holding
kind
of
best
practice
methodology
for
court
design.
So
these
show
what
you
would
have
in
terms
of
court
sets
for
a
traditional,
modern
courthouse
and
when
we
get
into
the
part
talking
about
judicial
later,
you'll
see
how
that
has
a
big
impact
on
the
overall
space
needs
next
slide.
O
O
You
know
some
pictures
of
what
the
spaces
were,
so
you
have
a
sense
of
them
if
you're
not
visiting
them
regularly
and
then
a
lot
of
data
on
what's
the
function
of
the
department,
what
kind
of
adjacencies
are
important
you
know:
does
finance
need
to
be
close
to
you
know,
county
administration
or
who
needs
to
be
close
to
each
other
for
purposes
of
efficient
work
operations,
and
then
we
went
through
every
space
and
sort
of
documented.
What
the
existing
square
footage
is.
O
On
the
left
side,
we
focus
on
different
models
for
staffing
growth,
so
each
each
group
you'll
see
as
you
go
through
it
and
the
models
how
we
use
them
are
explained
in
a
section
before
this,
but
each
group
runs
a
couple
different:
a
projection
based
on
population
number
growth.
Maybe
it's
looking
back
at
the
last
10
years
of
projections
to
do
a
percent
growth
increase.
O
O
O
So
I'll
just
try
to
summarize
here
a
couple
of
the
specific
things.
So
the
first,
the
first
group
here
is
really
the
county
government
functions
and
I'll
say
by
and
large,
you
know,
based
on
our
assessment,
we're
not
showing
a
prediction
for
significant
staffing
growth.
You
know,
there's
a
limited
amount.
I
think
the
county's
done
a
nice
job
of
working.
You
know
within
efficient
means
based
on
funding
availability,
because
that
always
comes
into
play
in
every
county
that
we
work
with.
O
So
I
think
that
each
of
the
individual
departments
shows
modest
growth
and
a
lot
of
times
it's
tied
to
population.
A
lot
of
the
county
government
functions
are
in
direct
support
of
county.
You
know
county
population
and
so
forth,
so
we're
predicting
a
relatively
small
projection
and
staffing
increases
over
the
next
20
years
and
actually
on
the
space
needs
side.
O
We're
actually
projecting
a
reduction
in
space
needs,
and
the
reason
for
that
is,
as
we
think,
about
a
new
building
and
again
this
is
this
is
sort
of
modeled
in
a
little
bit
in
the
abstract.
If
we
look
at
all
the
spaces
in
a
building
that
was
purpose-built
for
the
function,
you
actually
can
gain
more
efficiency.
One
of
the
things
we've
found
with
this
building
is:
it's
got
an
inefficient
floor
plate
multi-level
that
drives
just
a
little
bit
of
inefficiency
in
terms
of
use
of
the
space.
O
I
think
the
county's
done
a
great
job
of
fitting
the
groups
and
programs
into
the
building,
but
if
you
thought
about
it
as
a
sort
of
a
new
purpose-built
building,
we
actually
believe
that
you
can
get
some
efficiencies
in
your
space
function.
Now,
if
the,
if
the
decision
is
to
to
stay
here
and
continue
to
make,
do
certainly
you're
not
going
to
just
eliminate
small
sections
of
square
footage,
but
that's
just
you
know
kind
of
the
methodology
for
how
we
look
at
space
space
needs
long
term
see.
O
O
Part
of
that
is
around
things
like
this
room
in
particular,
being
tight
and
just
the
issues
of
being
able
to
incorporate
technology
into
it
efficiently
being
able
to
have
proper
space
for
public.
We
took
into
consideration
things
like
the
potential
of
a
committee
room
for
different
types
of
operations,
simultaneous
meetings
and
a
lot
of
times
to
find
best
efficiency
in
buildings.
We
look
at
aggregating,
larger
meeting
spaces
under
one
department
and
we
usually
just
pick
one
a
lot
of
times.
It's
you
know
the
county
board
or
administrative
department.
O
So
it's
not
necessarily
that
that
group
needs
a
ton
more
space.
It's
just
aggregating
for
use
by
all
members
that
are
within
the
building,
so
yeah.
I
think
I
touched
that
too.
You
know
just
the
inefficiency
of
this
building
as
a
whole
in
terms
of
floor
plate
size,
I
think,
presents
a
couple
challenges
in
terms
of
how
the
building's
used.
So
next,
let's
switch
over
to
the
judicial,
so
kind
of
similar
in
terms
of
staffing
projections.
O
There's
a
couple
things
I
I
think
in
terms
of
you
know
case
load
plays
a
big
part
in
this
looking
at
case
load
projections
and
in
many
cases
there's
been
a
little
bit
of
drop
off
in
certain
levels
of
caseload.
We
haven't
seen
massive
spikes
in
caseload
that
tends
to
give
the
number
of
judges,
which
then
in
turn
drives
the
rest
of
the
system
for
staffing
now.
One
thing
I'll
highlight
here
is
that
I
think
a
lot
of
counties
right
now
are
trying
to
get
their
arms
around
a
little
bit.
O
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
new
legislation
relative
to
the
crime
bill,
and
you
know,
I
think
that
each
group
is
is
thinking
about
that,
a
little
bit
differently.
What
impact
that
might
have
on
staffing
so
we're
showing
a
little
bit
larger
increase
in
probation.
That
was
driven
largely
by
discussions
with
the
head
of
probation,
but
I
think
there
could
potentially
be
an
impact
with
public
defender
and
state's
attorney
as
well.
Those
projections
right
now
are
not
significant
increases,
but
this
is
where
you
know
newer
information.
O
Newer
legislation
can
have
an
impact
on
the
future,
and
I
would
just
say
that
this
is
something
we
put
a
footnote
to,
that
we
want
to
pay
attention
to
is
a
potential
down
the
road,
so
those
are
kind
of
the
high
points
I
guess
on
on
staffing
increases
the
biggest
thing.
If
you
look
at
the
space
needs
chart,
we
show
what
we
call
existing.
O
That's
really
just
what
you
have
in
terms
of
all
the
functions
right
now,
and
then
we
show
a
2020
space
projection
and
there's
a
significant
increase
that
we're
showing
right
there
now
really
what
drives.
That
is
what
we
call
right
sizing.
You
know
if
we
were
to
take
all
the
different
functions
that
are
being
done
in
the
courthouse
and
sort
of
built,
those
to
modern
court
standards.
Modern
square
footages
you'd
go
from
a
51
000
square
foot,
existing
department
gross
for
the
judicial
group
to
close
to
90
000..
O
So
that's
not
to
say
that
you
have
to
go
out
tomorrow
and
you
know:
build
a
brand
new
courthouse
per
se.
We're
just
highlighting
the
point
that
there's
a
deficiency
in
the
space
standards
based
on
modern
operations
once
that
initial
right
sizing
is
done.
As
you
look
forward
in
the
years,
it
continues
to
be
pretty
modest
growth
in
terms
of
overall
square
footage
down
the
road
so
kind
of
a
couple
other
highlights.
O
We
see
that
oftentimes
counties
will
look
at
things
like
moving
a
traffic
cord
or
something
that
tends
to
have
a
higher
volume
operation
out
of
a
core
courthouse,
putting
it
into
a
new
space
that
has
ample
space
for
that
kind
of
function.
Parking
usually
comes
into
play
there
too,
because
you
have
a
lot
of
people
coming
to
court.
O
Another
big
point
in
the
courthouse
is
the
circuit
clerk
in
terms
of
her
spaces,
they're
just
fractured,
there's
a
couple
different
suites
around
very
tightly
packed
into
those
spaces
and
a
little
bit
disjointed
in
terms
of
not
being
aggregated
all
into
one
area.
So
again,
I
think
that's
just
a
factor
of
doing
the
best
you
can
to
make
do
with
the
spaces
you
have,
but
it
kind
of
highlights
the
point
that
there's
some
inefficiencies
because
of
a
you
know
kind
of
historic,
another
era
courthouse.
O
So
those
are
really
the
high
points.
Like
I
say,
all
the
detail
is
is
in
the
full
report.
What
what?
Typically
happens
at
this
point,
you
know
our
studies
sort
of
concluded
with
the
overall
space
needs,
and
then
the
next
step
is
usually
to
look
at
a
couple:
different
scenarios
and
a
lot
of
that's
tied
to
you
know
what
some
of
the
highest
needs
are.
O
P
A
O
O
Another
another
big
point
with
that
that
we
touched
on
in
the
report
would
be
things
like
air
quality
improvements
and
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
that
we've
been
involved
in
a
lot
of
people
have
been
doing
to
introduce
different
systems
and
measures
into
existing
buildings.
Things
like
uv
light
into
hvc
systems
or
bipolar
ionization
is
a
mechanism
to
help
you
know,
take
down
potential
virus
that
might
be
in
the
air
and
so
forth.
O
So
you
know,
while
we
didn't
specifically
address
parameters
related
to
the
current
covet
situation,
a
lot
of
those
kind
of
best
practices
are
things
that
would
make
a
lot
of
sense.
You
know
as
sort
of
protective
measures
that
could
be
for
this
situation
or
any
future.
You
know
coven-like
situation.
Q
Q
O
I
I
don't
know
how
much
acreage,
as
I
said.
I
I
think
the
way
we
looked
at
this
is
that
high
range
model
was
trying
to
take
into
account
the
airport
or
the
ileana,
and
I
think
that
we
haven't
seen
that
there's
been
significant
steps
forward
to
drive
a
different
projection
model
at
this
point.
But
what's
what's
nice
about
the
way
the
projections
are
done?
Q
O
A
All
right
anything
else,
this
is
a
lot
to
digest.
It's
a
lot
yeah.
It
is,
and
once
you
get
into
the
full
document,
it's
it
affirmed
some
suspicions.
We
had
a
lot
of
those
because
we've
had
two
courthouse
studies,
the
update,
confirmed
those
and
then
we
never
really
took
a
look
at
this
building
per
se.
You
know
and
then
blow
it
up.
Sometimes
you
don't
want
to
look
in
that
mirror
because
it's
yeah,
it's
not
good,
you
know,
but
you
know
the
hvac
systems.
A
If
you
go
to
the
courthouse,
you
look
and
you
can
see
the
the
the
discoloration
around
all
the
vents.
You
know
I
mean
there's,
there's
air
quality
issues
there
that
are
just
obvious,
but
the
space
part
about
it.
It
shouldn't
be
anything
new
and,
in
case
everybody's
wondering
we're
not
talking
about
190
million
courthouse
we've
seen
that
movie
here.
That's
not
what
we're
talking
about
at
all
we're
talking
about
functionality,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
and
there's
no
supposition
that
we're
going
down
that
road
again.
So.
Q
O
Well,
right
now,
we've
kind
of
set
the
bench
line.
Certainly
you
know
recognizing
that
not
everybody's
had
a
chance
to
read
146
pages
or
so
and
then
in
the
time
period,
if,
if
there's
more
feedback
or
questions
that
come
from
that
we're
happy
to
respond
to
that.
As
I
said
this,
this
really
just
sort
of
sets
a
baseline,
and
then
you
know
you
could
look
at
modeling
off
of
that.
O
O
So,
as
you
think
about,
let's
just
say
you
decide
that
you
know
20
years
from
now,
you
want
to
be
looking
at
a
new
facility
for
the
courts
or
something
you
always
want
to
think
about
that
with
an
eye
toward
you
know,
how
do
you
continue
to
expand
that
operation?
This
is
a
snapshot
in
time.
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
legislative
impacts.
Things
can
change
over
time.
O
R
Is
this
something
that,
since
this
doesn't
address
kobe
directly,
if
we
wanted
to
do
a
and
change
it
to
a
coba
type
study,
could
we
use
some
of
the
funds
that
are
going
to
be
available
to
to
pay
for
that,
because
I
think
we
allowed
60?
Was
it
60
000
in
the
building
committee?
For
this
study?
I
think
it
was
something
like
that.
A
A
Well,
we
know
those
rules
too.
That's
what
these
subcommittees
of
executive
are
going
to
be
doing.
Okay,
that's
what
we're
doing
with
our
subcommittees
to
be
able
to
go
through
data
like
this
data,
like
the
requests,
the
things
that
the
courts
are
telling
us
all.
The
department
heads
the
community
and
distilling
that
down
into
the
action
plan.
So
it's
yes,
but
there
can
be
other
specific
studies
and
really
engineering
projects
to
address
hvac
and
installing
those,
I
want
to
say,
uv
germ
killing.

H
A
A
M
A
A
A
A
A
A
2201,
basically,
changes
to
prohibit
the
county
to
be
able
to
have
zoning
ordinances,
restrict
restricting
mobile
homes
or
manufactured
homes
anywhere
in
the
county
rural
areas.
Basically,
this
would
take
away
our
ability
to
regulate
that
part,
and-
and
so
there
the
the
thought
was
is
that
I
believe
it's
around
110
120
in
taxes
a
year,
it's
like
taxed
as
personal
property.
A
That
is
nowhere
near
enough
to
cover
off
police
and
fire
in
these
rural
areas
and
they're
scattered
all
over
with
no
zoning
or
concentration
dell.
Am
I
missing
anything
there?
It
basically
takes
all
authority
away
from
the
counties
and
lets
people
do
whatever
they
want
wherever
they
want
in
the
rural
areas.
As
far
as
manufactured
homes
go.
S
A
R
A
U
V
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I'm
going
to
have
to
apologize,
though,
because
I
do
have
a
10
o'clock
meeting
that
I'm
going
to
have
to
get
to.
I
was
hoping
that
these
items
would
come
up
a
little
bit
sooner
in
the
agenda.
So
I
know
nick
is
on
the
call
and
he
will
keep
me
posted
on
some
of
the
discussion
and
andy.
I
know
you
will
as
well,
but
I
do
have
a
prior
10
o'clock
commitment
that
I'm
gonna
have
to
get
to.
Okay,.
A
V
A
Q
A
G
A
A
So
is
there
a
motion
on
this
to
accept
this
resolution,
as
presented
mr
smith,
a
second,
mr
swanson,
we'll
start
off
with
discussion
and
reminder,
first
time
we'll
go
through
everybody
that
wants
to
talk
second
time
we
go
back
through
and
and
so
I'm
just
please
be
respectful
with
each
other.
Mr
featherling.
R
Q
A
A
K
K
Whether
or
not
I
mean
it
would
be
insensitive
of
us
if
we
were
to
put
something
out
in
pembroke
and
with
not
sufficient
enough
police
protection
that
will
cause
more
chaos
than
what's
out
there.
So
in
the
areas
that
are
on,
I
mean
that
are
incorporated,
we
will
still
derive
the
tax
from
if
they
put
it
in
mantino
bourbon,
because
there's
a
tax
is,
if
you
go
to
the
store,
the
county
still
if
they
got
a
sales
tax,
we
get
a
portion
of
it.
K
However,
when
it
goes
into
unincorporated
areas,
if
we
don't
have
adequate
police
protection,
you
can
almost
guarantee
that
there's
going
to
be
some
some
adverse
conditions,
that's
going
to
come
in
that
particular
area,
and
if
the
police
had
to
respond
you're
talking,
probably
a
good
20
30
minutes.
I
would
not
see
that
that's
that
is
being
beneficial
in
any
unincorporate
unincorporated
area.
So
I
will
continue
for
the
purpose
of
just
saying:
we
need
to
find
it's
a
revenue
generator.
K
We
also
have
to
consider
the
moral,
the
ethics,
the
public
safety
issues
that
are
all
involved
in
this,
and
this
is
the
recreational
part
of
it.
We
taxes,
I
mean
those
taxes
are
being
generated
and
they
have
come
here
and
the
school
district
was
the
recipient
of
what
732
thousand
dollars
of
that
money
or
whatever,
which
we
was
able
to
put
in
team
court
and
things
of
that
nature.
K
So
I'm
saying
we
we
do
receive
revenues
from
these
particular
areas
already
as
a
benefit
of
them
having
this
recreational
marijuana,
but
I
don't
want
us
to
get
into
the
marijuana
business
that
we're
going
to
put
it
anywhere
and
not
consider
the
safety
I
deal
with
it
from
the
school,
the
school
issue,
when
some
of
these
kids
come
to
school
with
that
on
their
on
their
clothes
and
and
and
they're
kind
of
ashamed.
We
don't
look
at
the
whole
aspect
of
what
we
do
so
to
put
one
here.
K
W
B
Yes,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
very
much.
I
concur
with
both
mr
snipes
and
mr
huss.
I've
been
contacted
by
people
out
at
diversity
and
they're
concerned
that
their
area
would
be
a
target
area
for
that,
and
the
police
being
able
to
get
there
in
a
timely
manner
might
be
a
consideration
for
that,
and
then
mr
hess.
I
also
know
of
people
who
committed
suicide
and
have
other
problems
because
of
this
gateway.
Drug
young
people
are
affected
more
by
it
long
term
than
older
people,
so
I
just
will
vote
no
on
this.

Three
states
attorney
jim
roh
spoke
to
a
group
of
senior
citizens
in
bonfield
a
couple
years
ago
at
a
breakfast
sponsored
by
county
board
member
darryl
smith,
when
he
was
asked
his
opinion
on
the
legalized
sale
of
recreational
marijuana
in
the
county.
He
was
clear.
He
said,
be
careful
where
you
get
your
money.
Z
The
cost
of
ignoring
that
teaching
is
expensive
to
people
to
human
services,
to
the
county,
justice
system
and
costly
to
me
and
to
my
soul
because
of
these
ideas,
I
cannot
support
the
approval
of
legalized
sale
of
recreational
marijuana
in
unincorporated
kankakee
county,
because
I
think
the
potential
costs
far
outweigh
the
potential
income.
Therefore,
making
it
unprofitable,
there
will
be
other
less
expensive
ways
to
accumulate
funding
for
our
county.
Thanks.

The
absolute
misinformation
that
I
just
heard
spewed
forth
out
of
absolutely
no
basis
of
scientific
knowledge
is
so
troubling
to
me.
If
anybody
can
find
one
conclusive
study
from
our
gov,
our
very
own
government
that
says
that
marijuana
is
a
gateway
drug.
I
would
be
happy
to
change
my
stance,
but
there
are
no
conclusive
studies.
There
are
zero.
AA
That
being
said
on
the
state
level,
marijuana
is
legal
for
recreational
use
and
if
there's
one
person
that
lives
in
your
district,
you
have
no
right
to
tell
them
that
they
cannot
open
that
type
of
business.
These
businesses
cost
millions
of
dollars
to
open
and
to
operate
and
nobody's
going
to
come
to
this
area
and
propose
spending
millions
of
their
own
dollars
to
open
one
of
these
businesses
if
the
demand
is
not
there.
Furthermore,
every
single
study
done
nationwide
has
shown
that
places
that
open
dispensaries
in
result
have
a
lowered
crime
rate
in
those
areas.
AA
That's
because
these
places
are
highly
secured.
Having
been
to
many
dispensaries
myself
that
there's
usually
off-duty
police
officers
hired
by
the
facilities
to
protect
them
once
you
get
inside
your
id
is
scanned
multiple
times,
you're
not
allowed
to
purchase
anything
or
be
in
the
building
above
and
beyond,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
don't
have
a
choice
of
what
other
people
do
to
their
bodies
and
the
drug
war.
The
most
dangerous
thing
about
marijuana
is
being
caught
with
it.
AA
AA
Drugs
are
not
a
it's.
It's
not
it's
a
public
health
issue.
This
is
a
health
issue.
It's
not
a
we
over
criminalize
these
things
and
because
of
this
another
great
fact
to
check
because
of
our
war
on
drugs,
we
have
more
people
in
the
prison
system
in
the
united
states
than
any
country
on
earth.
We
are
number
one
per
capita.
We
imprison
more
people
than
every
country
on
earth
and
it's
over
acid
nine
backwards
old
views.
I
I
have
to
say
many
of
you.
People
grew
up.
AA
I
sympathize
for
you
because
you
grew
up
watching
movies
from
our
government.
That
said,
you're
going
to
get
stoned
and
go
shoot
your
friends
reefer
madness.
That's
it
was
a
propaganda
film
by
our
government
to
dissuade
marijuana
in
in
public
and
we've
absolutely
destroyed,
so
many
lives
in
the
name
of
protecting
each
other
and
the
misinformation
out.
There
is
just
absolutely
asinine
and
to
vote
that
other
people
should
not
be
allowed
to
control
what
they
put
in
their
own
bodies.
That
makes
me
question
the
integrity
of
people
voting
against
this.
AA

She
knows
a
person
personally,
and
forgive
me,
mr
collins,
for
speaking
from
personal
experience,
but
this
woman
a
pharmacist,
knew
of
a
case
where
someone
was
on
norco
and
oxycontin,
and
this
woman
was
able
to
come
off
of
these
drugs,
which
are
incredibly
difficult
to
come
off
of
cold
turkey
or
any
other
way
and
use
medical
marijuana
and
be
able
to
live
a
more
fruitful
life
because
she
was
not
doped
up
on
these
other
harmful
drugs
and
even
drugs
that
come
from
pharmacies
that
are
approved
by
the
fda.
All
drugs
have
side
effects.
AB
All
drugs
are
going
to
do
something
to
our
bodies.
Aspirin
makes
our
stomach
bleed
two
teaspoons,
so
they
tell
us
so
everything
is
going
to
have
some
sort
of
effect
on
us.
I
don't
believe
in
doing
anything
for
money.
I
believe
god
provides
us
all
the
money
that
we
need
to
perform.
What
we
have
to
do
if
there
is
a
need,
god
provides
and.

Twenty
percent
for
mental
health
and

abuse
care,
so
the
persons
who
believe
that
this
is
a
gateway
drug.
There
is
a
buffer
of
prevention
for
these
persons
who
are
suffering
from
substance
abuse.
There
is
a
something
in
place
to
take
care
of
these
before
these
incidents
reach
catastrophic
proportions.

enforcement,
and
there
is
law
enforcement
at
these
pharmacies.
I
heard
that
they
could
that
off-duty

officers
are
there
and
driving
by
I've,
seen
them
outside

A
AC
AD
AD
One
of
the
things
that
I
tried
to
deal
with
myself
is:
where
is
an
alternate
revenue
source,
because
we
can't
make
it
with
the
money
we're
coming
in
anybody
that
pays
much
attention
to
the
finance
meeting.
You'll
see
that
we're
in
mr
mccarty
bless
his
soul.
He
puts
a
good
light
on
a
dire
situation
if
you've
looked
carefully
at
the
bed
rental
program
that
we
currently
operate
and
see
the
trends
and
what
directions
that's
going,
there's
going
to
be
something
down
the
road.
That's
gonna
hit
us
in
the
face,
that's
just
my
opinion.
AD
AD
AD
AD
That's
why
I'm
going
to
support
this,
and
I
want
to
remind
the
board
that
anywhere
they
cite
this
place.
If
we
even
get
one-sided
doesn't
mean
we're
going
to
get
one
side
anywhere.
They
cite
this.
It
has
to
go
through
pga
to
be
approved
for
signing
and
it
has
zba
yes,
yep
special
use
and
it-
and
there
has
been
stipulations
put
upon
these
places
where
they
can
be
where
they
can't
be,
and
I'm
sure
if
the
sheriff
knows
where
they're
at
he
does
a
good
job
he'll
make
sure
that
there's
patrolmen
around
it.
R
I'd
like
to
talk
about
armed
security
involved
in
these
things,
they
hire
off-duty
policemen
to
work
in
there.
They
hire
people
to
be
secure
outside
and
they're.
I
don't
we
grow
it
in
the
county.
Here
we
have
a
facility
in
the
county
that
grows.
It
doesn't
make
much
sense
that
you're
going
to
let
them
grow
up,
but
they
won't
let
them
sell
it.
R
R
Now,
I'm
not
saying
it,
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
is
going
to
come
out
of
this
county
for
sure,
because
we
don't
know,
we
don't
know
where
it's
going
to
come
from,
but
the
sales
tax
thing
that
was
mentioned
is
wrong,
but
I
think
mr
snice
mentioned
that
the
sales
tax
is
coming
here,
whether
it
goes
into
towns
or
not.
It's
only
about
a
small
teeny
percentage
of
what
it
would
normally
be
for,
like
a
loaf
of
bread.
Isn't
it
andy
our
ordinances.
R
That,
when
it's
sold
in
the
towns,
we're
not
going
to
get
anything
compared
to
what
it
would
be
on
the
outside
of
right
on
the
line
of
can't
compete
or
in
an
unincorporated
area
next
to
a
town,
that's
probably
what
will
end
up
being
happening,
but
with
the
millions
of
dollars
that
are
not
millions,
but
I'm
saying
lots
of
money.
I've
heard
millions
of
dollars,
I
don't
know
for
sure
they're
going
to
be
giving
out
the
state's
giving
out
150
new
licenses.
I
believe
they
said
this
year
sometime.
R
I
don't
remember
whether
it
was
this
year
or
the
end
of
the
year.
I
believe
that
they're
going
to
be
pretty
much
everywhere
and
the
money's
going
to
go
down
considerably,
but
they're
going
to
be
close
by
no
matter
which
way
you
look
at
it.
So
if
it's
regulated
to
where
you
could
go,
buy
something,
and
it
tells
you
exactly
what
it
is,
how
strong
it
is,
what
it
is
and
everything
else
is
not
like
the
same
as
buying
it
from
the
guy
down
the
street
who's
spraying.
R
AA
The
only
thing
that
creates
criminals
when
it
comes
to
drugs
is
prohibition.
This
has
been
shown
time
and
time
again
throughout
our
history
throughout
all
of
history.
The
only
thing
black
markets
cannot
exist
when
a
substance
is
legal.
Unless,
like
the
state
of
illinois,
we
tax
it
so
much
that
it
actually
encourages
a
black
market,
which
is,
I
don't
know
that
anybody
realizes
this,
but
the
black
market
for
marijuana
is
so
much
incredibly
higher
now
because
of
our
taxes.
AA
So,
in
my
personal
opinion,
marijuana
should
be
as
legal
as
bubble
gum.
You
should
be
able
to
go
to
the
store
and
buy
it
until
you
can
show
me
that
it
has
caused
one
death
in
this
country
or
anywhere
on
earth
by
using
it
it's
as
dangerous
as
as
anything
else
that
causes
zero
death.
We
know,
and
please
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
be
responsible
elected
officials
if
you're
making
these
decisions
even
based
on
revenue.
AA
AA
Every
study
ever
done
shows
that
prohibition
leads
to
higher
crime
rates,
higher
incarceration
rates
and,
like
I
said,
the
most
dangerous
thing
about
marijuana
is
being
caught
with
it.
Its
prohibition
literally
kills
people
and
has
killed
more
people
than
the
drug
itself
ever
has
we
do
grow
it
in
our
county?
AA
AA
AA
AA
The
idea
that
any
elected
official
would
sit
here
and
tell
another
person
that
first,
that
you
live
in
a
free
country.
Second
of
all,
that
that
free
country
has
the
highest
incarceration
rate
on
earth
because
of
a
failed
drug
war.
By
the
way
the
trillion
dollars
that
we've
spent
on
the
drug
war
has
in
check.
This
is.
Google
searches
has
led
to
zero
reduction
in
crime
rates.
AA
Nothing
we've
blown
trillions
of
dollars
in
taxpayer
money
to
do
nothing,
and
I
I
I
would
be
ashamed
to
sit
on
a
board
or
or
even
to
vote
against,
telling
my
neighbor
what
they
should
be
allowed
to
do
on
their
own
property
in
their
own
body.
Like
we
said,
I
forget
who
said
it
earlier,
our
body
is
our
temple.
It's
my
temple
get
out
of
it.

Those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
and
by
the
way
that
motion
will
include
the
vote
coming
out
of
executive
session.
So
it's
the
last.
It's
there's
a
vote
coming
out
of
this
on
the
real
estate.
So
are
we
acceptable
with
that?
The
motion
in
the
second,
because
we
don't
have
to
wait
till
the
end
to
vote
on
something
we're
just
discussing
so
it'll,
be
just
a
moment.
A
A
A
John,
that
says,
sale.
There
is
no
thing
on
there
about
the
land,
the
access
agreement,
it
just
says
the
purchase
of
sale.
Okay,
do
you
find
that
as
a
scrivener's
issue?
Could
you
think
that
is
something
we
can
substitute?
Yes,
I
believe
it
is.
Okay,
all
righty,
just
drawing
your
attention
on
the
agenda.
It
says
the
board
chairman
to
sign
an
agreement
for
the
sale
of
county-owned
land.
A
That
is
going
to
be
just
it's
going
to
be
the
access
agreement,
as
noted
as
discussed
in
our
executive
session
access
and
due
diligence
agreement
with
make
sure
I
got
the
right
entity
that
we're
agreeing
with
here,
jdrc
acquisitions
and
illinois,
limited
liability
company
by
cresco
labs
illinois
limited
liability
at
sole
member.
So
it
looks
like
we
have
everybody
back.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
access
and
due
diligence
agreement?
Regarding
this
parcel,
I
need
a

yeah.

A
A
motion
on

this

we'll
go
with

and
then
mr
eck
off
a
second,
it's
really
procedural,
it's
just
where
we're
gonna
put
it,
how
we're
gonna
handle
it
with
our
internal
policy.
So
any
any
questions
on
that
very
simple
all
right.
I
think
we
should
do
roll
call
on
this,
because
it's
financial,
we're
not
spending
money.
AE
A
It's
they
don't
cost
ten
thousand
output,
ten
thousand
dollars
per
camera,
as
might
have
been
indicated,
because
we're
also
purchasing
all
of
the
computers
and
the
equipment
and
the
dash
cam
stuff
to
go
in
the
cars
as
well.
So
hopefully
people
realize
that
we
can't
just
use
gopros
and
other
things
that
were
suggested
for
the
the
ten
thousand
dollars
and
we
get
new
ones
about
every
three
or
four
years.
I
believe
so.
A
A
Video
footage
and
so
forth,
yeah,
I
believe
it's
about
20
grand
a
year,
because
you
have
to
be
able
to
store
all
of
that
and
also
the
software
package
to
redact
certain
parts
of
it
like
innocent
bystanders
and
things
like
that.
You
have
to
be
able
to
block
them
out
so
and
then
also
the
the
staff
time
we
talked
about
as
well,
because
the
staff
time
as
well,
because
people
see
that's
what
we
missed
without
jason
being
over
here.
A
He
would
already
come
out
of
the
door
and
told
me
to
turn
my
mic
on,
but
the
staff
time
to
be
able
to
to
provide
that
to
those
that
are
want
to
see
it
that
are
incarcerated
or
their
lawyers
or
their
family
or
whoever.
So
it's
it's
not
going
to
be
free,
as
nothing
is
in
this
world
right.
So,
mr
hunter.
A
H
Q
A
A
T
A
Q
T
AD
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
miss
drakoff.
I
I
understand
your
position
me
being
in
a
rural
district
by
moving
that
to
20
would
basically
cut
out
representation
or
increase
the
population
of
that
rural
district
to
one
representative
having
to
cover
maybe
30
or
40
square
miles,
and
my
representative,
my
the
people
I
represent,
like
to
know
me
and
I
like
to
know
them,
and
so
I
will
not
be
supporting
this,
but
and
that's
my
reasons
to
give
the
rural
areas
now.
AD
T
AF
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
concur
with
mr
siroy.
I
too
have
a
rural
area
and
the
people
have
been
calling
for
representation
and
it's
nice
to
know
that
they
can
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
and
that
they
do
know
us
and
that
we
are
available
to
them,
and
we've
heard
so
many
comments,
even
today
about
representation
in
their
district.
They
want
to
keep
that.
Y
Asked
maintain
the
28th
in
my
district
when
I
first
moved
to
the
area,
I
didn't
even
know
the
state,
the
representative
that
was
representing
that
area
and
also
the
community,
could
never
have
the
opportunity
to
vote
and
support
someone
that
lived
in
the
area.
So
I'm
asking
that
we
maintain
the
28th
thank.
A
A
A
AA
Like
to
bring
a
few
things
up
first,
when
I
ran
for
county
board,
I
ran
so
under
saying
that
my
number
one
goal
was
to
eliminate
my
own
position.
That
being
that,
I
wanted
to
downsize
our
county
board.
I
couldn't
from
a
citizen's
perspective.
I
could
not
see
why
we
needed
28
people
to
represent
a
county
of
110
000
people.
AA
All
I
could
see
that
doing
is
lowering
representation
for
our
citizens
and
from
a
fiscal
standpoint,
when
our
members
are
paid
a
per
diem
and
we're
expected
to
sit
on
committees,
I
don't
see
how
going
to
28
members
would
save
any
money
from
a
fiscal
standpoint,
also
keeping
in
mind
that
county
board
members
are
probably
one
of
the
lowest
paid
elected
positions
in
our
county.
I
think
that
we
give
a
lot
of
bang
for
buck
to
our
citizens.
AA
I
think
that
we
should
note
that
we're
looking
at
record
low
voter
turnouts
in
the
last
few
local
elections,
so
to
say
that
54
is
an
overwhelming
majority
in
the
first
places.
Just
doesn't
statistically
make
any
sense,
and
especially
when
you
factor
in
that,
so
many
few
people
are
getting
out
there
and
voting
and,
as
I
said
in
the
redistricting
committee,
I
think
the
reasons
for
that
is
that
we
teach
people
how
to
treat
us
and
that
government
is
so
complex
and
there's
so
many
things
being
voted
on
at
all
times.
AA
There's
constantly
elections
being
ran.
Anybody
that
has
proposed
the
idea
of
shrinking
government
in
any
form
is
naturally
should
be
saying.
Yes,
it
took
me
getting
here
and
seeing
what
we
provide
to
people
to
realize
that
28
definitely
provides
better
representation
and
that
downsizing
wouldn't
save
any
money,
and
I
would
challenge
the
p.
AA
I
I
I
would
also
say
that,
even
if
mr
eckhoff
said
that
he
was
providing
a
voice
to
the
people
of
his
community
that
voted
to
downsize,
if
a
majority
of
people
vote
to
do
something
you're
not
obligated
to
to
provide
that
for
them.
Our
role
as
elected
officials
is
to
do
what's
best
for
individuals,
not
for
groups
it.
It
you've,
never
taken
an
oath.
That
says
you're
supposed
to
vote
on
behalf
of
large
group,
and
I
would
task
anybody
to
show
me
where
that's
the
case.
A
So
one
one
thing
is:
is
the
the
vote
I
believe
it
was
in.
The
consolidated
election
was
well
over
80
percent
in
favor
of
the
downsize,
but
the
vote
in
2010
was
54
were
in
favor
of
28
single
member
board
districts.
So
we've
had
two
referendums.
That
said
opposite
things,
just
so
we're
having
full
disclosure
here.
There's
not
it's
not.
Everybody
overwhelmingly
said
this.
Well,
they
overwhelmingly
said
this
and
then
they
also
said
this,
so
we've
got
both
ends
of
the
scale
there.
So
I
just
want
to
make
point
of
clarity.
K
K
K
That's
my
story,
I'm
sticking
to
it
and
you
know
I'm
a
conservative.
If
it
can
save
you
money,
you
know
I'll
be
crying,
but
in
this
case
it
is
the
wrong
thing
for
you
to
do
because
of
the
quality
of
the
members
of
this
board,
and
don't
expect
me
to
say
it
again,
I'm
just
saying
it
because
it's
the
truth,
this
time.
A
So
is
there
any
other
thoughts
on
28
versus
20.?
All
right?
Let's,
let's
go
through
with
a
roll
call
vote.
High
means
you
want
20,
nay
means
you
want
28..
Is
that
so,
if
you're
voting,
if
you
vote,
I
you're
going
down
to
20.,
does
that
make
sense
a
naval
means
stay
where
we're
at
roll
call
vote.
Please.
AB
A
A
A
Plan,
sorry
about
that
28
single
member
districts
codifying
the
current
life
insurance
that
the
board
members
have
gotten
for
forever.
That
was
never
voted
on
as
compensation
which
we
should
have
and
we're
doing
that
correctly.
Now
the
compensation
of
chairman
at
60,
000
liquor,
commissioner
3500
board
members,
75
per
meeting
and
paper
maps
for
the
public
and
and
other
board
members,
if
you
so
choose
to
be
able
to
submit
versions
of
maps
to
be
considered.
AD
A
Second,
that
okay
going
board
members
pay
going
from
70
dollars
where
it
is
to
75.
Excuse
me
going
back
down
to
70
where
it
is
now.
It
was
74
back
about
six
years
ago
it
was
100
back
in
2000,
so
we're
going
down
staying
where
we're
at
basically
board
members.
So
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
at
70
dollars.
Mr
hess.
W
K
A
A
As
we
talked
about
it
in
the
committee,
that
is
not
a
compensation
issue,
it's
a
reimbursement
issue,
and
yes,
okay,
that's
why
we
didn't
vote
on
it
in
committee.
Was
it's
a
it's,
not
a
compensation
issue
per
se?
It's
a
reimbursement
that
we
all
decided.
We
were
going
to
forego
reimbursement
on
mileage
back
then,
except
for
those
that
were
leaving
the
county
on
official
business.
A

Mr
fairfield

A
M
W
G
A
Correct
and
for
some
reason,
as
part
of
a
reapportionment
includes
this
step,
but
normally
this
happens
way
down
the
road,
but
for
some
reason-
and
I
believe
me-
I
argued
with
the
state's
attorney
on
this
one-
I
never
win
that
argument
by
the
way,
but
you
know
it's.
It's
he's
trained
to
argue
so,
but
in
this
case
you
know
obviously
he's
right.
We
need
to.
We
need
to
do
it
now
and
if
things
change,
we
can
change
it
before
the
next
election
if
we
needed
to
as
well
so
collins.
AA
I'd
just
like
to
point
out
that
many
people
who
just
voted
to
give
themself
a
raise
and
a
few
short
sentences
ago
voted
not
to
take
tax
money
from
legal
business
in
a
marijuana
dispensary,
and
you
should
probably
if
you
voted
against
a
dispensary
and
voted
to
give
yourself
a
raise
in
the
next
breath.
You
should.
A
Mr
collins,
that's
not
your
name
to
the
current
conversation,
I'm
sorry,
that's
kind
of
out
of
order.
We
need
to
keep
those
comments
germaine
to
the
board
district
here,
please,
the
the
other
side
of
it
is
now
we're
back
to
the
original
vote.
If
you
will
so
comments,
suggestions
on
this
full
measure,
as
described.
H
Mr
huss
hi
mr
solomon
aye,
mrs
polk,
I'm
sorry,
mr
spock,
mr
snipes

H
A
Motion
carries
so
what's
next
on.
This
is
we're
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can
with
the
redistricting
committee,
we're
going
to
get
28
single
member
districts
drawn
different
versions
for
them
to
consider.
In
the
meantime,
we'll
open
up
the
ability
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
submit
maps
we'll
announce
when
that
day
starts
and
ends.
If
you
will
that
time
period,
hopefully
it's
I
want
to
shoot
for
a
week
from
now
is
when
we're
able
to
get
that
out
there
in
a
couple
of
days.
A
It's
not
and
then
the
second
thing
is
the
federal
voting
rights
act.
So
you
have
one
and
then
you
have
one
a,
but
the
state
law
says
we
have
to
consider
one.
The
federal
law
says
we
have
to
consider
the
other.
It's
it's
not
easy
and
we've
got
some
more
work
to
do
so.
That
redistricting
committee
will
come
back,
they'll
recommend
a
map
to
the
board
and
then
we'll
we
have
to
have
this
all
done
for
the
june
meeting.
A
Now
the
state
may
at
some
point
say:
hey
here's,
some
legislation
that
allows
you
wait
till
september.
They
haven't
done
that,
so
we
we
can't
stop.
We
have
to
keep
going
based
on
the
last
census.
I
did
get
an
email
saying
that
our
numbers
went
down
to
around
108
000.
I
did
see
that,
but
that's
not
official
from
you
know,
direct
to
us
from
the
census
bureau
was
an
amalgamation
of
what
I
saw
for
northern
illinois.
A
It's
not
going
to
have
a
profound
impact,
but
it
will
have
an
impact
depending
on
where
people
left
from.
So
if
you
moved,
you
know
from
one
part
of
the
county
to
another
or
left
the
state
altogether.
You
know
we
we've
got
some
other
data
points
that
we
can
look
at.
Housing
starts
from
2010,
we've
got
all
of
those
we
can
kind
of
see,
but
we
can't
really
see
where
people
moved
if
they
were
renting.
A
So
I
just
want
to
mention
that
there's
still
more
work
to
be
done,
this
board
will
have
something
to
consider
for
the
june
full
board
meeting,
if
not
it'll,
take
a
special
meeting
before
the
end
of
the
month.
Do
everything
I
can
to
get
to
that
point.
So,
mr
snipes,
you
have
a
question
yeah.
I
have
a
point
of.
K
Order,
I
didn't
want
to
disrupt
until
we
got
to
the
end,
but
under
that
executive
number,
three
that
we
voted
on.
That
should
have
been
a
motion
for
reconsideration
and
I'm
seeing
that
it
was
an
ordinance
allowing
the
establishment,
because
the
prior
board
has
taken
the
action
on
this.
It
would
have
been
a
motion
to
reconsider
to
overturn
the
action
of
the
board
promotion.
K
A
K
But
the
person
that
should
have
brought
that
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
no,
it's
not
appropriate.
That
is
that
is,
according
to
robert
rules
of
order,
if
you're
going
to
change
some
action
that
on
the
board
that
has
already
happened,
it
says
the
person
proposing
a
change.
That
person
must
have
voted
with
the
prevailing
side.
Who
was
the
individual
that
wanted
to
upset
the
original?
It
doesn't.
K
K
A
K
K
You
stated
that
you
don't
need
to
be
a
motion
for
reconsideration.
Is
that
what
and
you're
saying
that
we
can
just
simply
look
at
any
laws
and
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
what
they
were.
We
can
just
go
in
and
move
them
the
action
of
the
county
board.
Yes
and
there's
no
order.
You
can
just
do
it.
No
because
the
united
states
executive
committee
is
only
an
arm
of
the
county
board,
so
the
county
board
itself.
D
Robert's
rules
talk
when
it
talks
about
reconsideration
and
that
you
have
to
have
somebody
that
would
that
made
that
motion
before
that's
when
you
bring
it
up,
similarly
like
within
the
same
that
same
setting,
what
happens
is
now
is
that
it
was
a
pri.
It
was
a
prior
board
and
you
had
you
had
a
the
action
was
to
repeal
a
final
ordinance.
You
don't
have
to
have
the
same
people
that
are
on
on
the
board
that
voted
for
it
in
the
past
to
raise
that,
as
the
chairman
did
say,
what
happens?
D
A
A
A
Through
the
normal
28
hours
well,
I
would
hope
to
give
them
longer.
Okay,
but
like
a
week,
but
you
know
it's
just
we
have
to
get
the
maps
done.
We
couldn't
start
the
work
on
the
map
until
the
board
said
right
how
many
people
right
that's
kind
of
central
to
first
person:
okay,
okay,
thank
you!
Moving
on
no
other
old
business
new
business.
If
we
can
get
that
title,
please.
