Description
Kankakee County Board Meeting 11/12/2019 5:30 PM
A

So
before
we
do
the
rope
I
just
want
to
mention
coming
over
here,
the
library
we
need
to
have
a
larger
crowd
or
hoped,
but
so
we
do
have
some
logistical
technical
challenges
so
bear
with
us
I
think
our
team,
especially
Kevin
Duvall
Jason
Shayne,
and
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this.
So
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
try
something
new
here,
so
please
forgive
us
for
a
few,
maybe
technical,
missteps
along
the
way,
even
though
I
don't
expect
that
those
will
be
happening.
B
B
C
C
B
A
Present
we
have
a
quorum
alrighty
under
public
commentary,
carve
out
15
minutes
in
total
for
this.
So
please,
you
know
be
brief.
If
you
may
be
combined
with
other
people
around,
you
they'd
be
appreciated.
We
have
a
long
meeting
tonight,
but
we
will
extend
the
discretion
of
the
board
if
we
get
to
the
15
minutes.
So
we
have
first
up
have
kenmin
Joey
from
Kankakee
microphones
right
in
the
middle.
D
Good
afternoon
all
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
Ken
mange
I
am
the
president
of
the
Northern
Illinois
anglers,
Association
and
Secretary
of
the
Illinois
kinky
River
Basin
Commission
I
am
here
tonight
to
express
the
the
positive
feeling
that
both
of
these
groups
have
for
the
expansion
of
the
kinky
River
Conservancy,
District
I
think
that
some
of
you
may
know
about
that.
Some
of
you
may
not
Conservancy
District
currently
is
centered
in
moments
with
a
ward
of
five
people.
D
D
Signers
of
the
petitions
are
people
who
live
in
the
affected
area.
655
people
signed
petitions
to
express
their
support,
for
this.
Only
330
were
really
needed,
so
about
double
of
what
was
needed
for
that
I
think
we
should
express
our
appreciation
to
the
to
those
people
because
they
will
see
a
slight
increase
in
their
property
taxes,
not
I,
think
they're
talking
about
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
$20
a
year,
$400,000,
home
and
I
believe
that's
an
estimate
that
is
close.
All
of
us
will
benefit.
I
do
not
live
in
that
area.
D
I
did
not
sign
a
petition
because
they
don't,
but
I
will
benefit
from
this,
as
well
as
everyone
in
this
room,
very
one,
boh
skanky
County,
the
current
board
members.
You
can't
keep
your
River
Conservancy
District
have
expressed
their
support
of
expansion,
even
though
that
means
that
they
lose
some
power.
They
see
the
greater
good
and
understand
that
and
know
that
it's
going
to
be
good
for
everyone
involved.
D
So
as
we
move
forward,
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
realize
that,
in
my
opinion,
we
are
at
a
historic
turning
point
in
managing
the
river.
Everybody
knows:
what's
happened
in
that
past.
For
over
a
hundred
years,
there
have
been
issues
have
been
squabbles
with
folks
in
Indiana
and
Illinois,
and
and
so
on
that
it
seems
to
be
coming
to
an
end.
There's
a
spirit
of
cooperation.
There's
a
real
plan.
You'll
see
some
presentations
here
in
a
few
minutes
about
those
plans.
D
I've
seen
most
of
that
myself
already
I
can
tell
you
that
that
it
makes
sense,
and
by
moving
forward
with
everyone
in
the
same
direction,
we
can
actually
get
something
done.
You'll
notice
word
plan
is
being
used
not
to
work
study
these
folks
that
you're
going
to
see
presentations
from
studied
the
studies
and
all
the
way
back
to
the
1800s.
D
It
doesn't
need
to
be
studied
anymore.
They
put
together
a
plan
as
long
as
we're
all
pulling
in
the
same
direction.
This
is
going
to
get
better.
It's
causing
real
issues
with
flooding
now
and
that's
what
has
raised
this
issue
too
about
the
heat.
So
the
small
piece
of
this
is
the
expansion
of
the
concern
seed
district,
so
that
there
are
local
people
with
local
money
available
to
make
things
happen
locally,
all
pulling
in
the
same
direction.
D
E
E
That
comes
in
from
the
state
at
one
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
three
hundred
that
funding
has
remained
the
same
for
fifteen
years.
It
has
not
gone
up.
The
state
of
Illinois
has
not
given
us
any
more
money
that
money
also
funds,
well
septic,
Solid,
Waste,
vector
body
art
in
tanning
that
the
Health
Department
is
involved.
With.
With
those
inspections,
the
non
grant
funded
amount,
then
for
the
rest
of
the
budget
from
the
437,000,
is
approximately
two
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
unfunded.
E
That
is
offset
then
by
the
fees
that
we
charge
through
the
licenses
and
a
few
other
fees
and
that
the
Environmental
Health
Division,
the
Food
Program,
represents
70%
of
the
work
load
of
the
work
that
has
done
in
environmental
health,
and
that
includes
all
original
inspections
for
the
food
program.
Re-Inspections,
follow-ups,
nuisances,
fires
and
foodborne
illness
investigations.
E
The
total
cost
then,
based
upon
that
two
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
unfunded,
divided
by
the
number
of
facilities
that
we
have
the
cost
for
a
facility
to
break-even,
would
be
five
hundred
and
sixteen
dollars.
Then
that's
what
we
would
need
to
charge
for
each
facility
and
we
are
not.
We
are
asking
for
a
$50
increase
that
would
bring
the
high
categories
up
from
350
to
400
300
for
the
medium
to
350
and
200.
E
For
the
lows
to
250
the
lows,
the
mediums
and
the
highs
are
based
on
the
menu
items
at
350
dollars
for
a
high
today
that
comes
out
to
a
dollar
a
day
that
the
restaurant
pays
for
its
license
a
dollar
a
day
based
upon
what
they
then
are
charging
us
as
a
consumers.
When
we
go
out
to
eat
the
last
increase
was
five
years
ago
so,
each
year
the
cost
continued
to
go
up
for
us,
our
salaries,
our
utilities
and
all
that.
But
the
licenses
did
not
go
up
for
those
five
years.
E
We
don't
race
them
every
year.
We
just
have
been
looking
at
them
approximately
every
five
years
and
adjusting
as
we
go.
The
time
involved
to
do.
The
inspections
has
increased
twenty
percent
this
year,
because
the
state
of
Illinois
had
changed
the
way
the
inspections
were
done
and
adopted
the
FDA's
food
code,
which
became
more
of
instead
of
looking
for
point
violations.
They
want
us
to
do
a
risk-based
inspection
so
that
increased
the
inspection
time
by
20%.
So
it's
taking
more
time
to
do
that.
E
The
current
expenses
for
the
environmental
health
budget,
then
at
the
two
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand,
the
unfunded
our
revenue
comes
in
at
232,
so
we're
looking
at
a
twenty
eight
thousand
dollar
deficit.
If
this
approval
is
approved
tonight
that
would
bring
us
to
break-even
at
the
200
base,
achill
II,
just
a
little
under
250,
seven,
eight
hundred
I'm.
Alright,
with
that,
so
I
respectfully
ask
you
to
vote
yes
to
support
the
work
that
the
environmental
health,
the
environmental
health
staff
does
each
and
every
day
to
promote
and
protect
the
public's
health
and
yours.
E
F
Basin
Commission
and
a
member
of
moments,
anchor
club
auxilary
I'm
here
tonight
to
talk
about
expanding
the
Conservancy
District
and
what
that
could
do
is
mean
right.
Now
we
get
about
$9,000
a
year.
Would
expand
it
greatly,
so
we
could
get
some
projects
done.
That
would
help
reduce
flooding,
open
up
the
river
for
boating
swimming
and
so
forth
and
help
improve
the
fishing.
G
We
represent
people
from
throughout
the
Chicago
metro
area
and
people
from
a
variety
of
faith,
traditions
joined
by
our
common
bond
of
love
of
neighbor
and
concern
for
justice.
We
write
to
you
today
to
continue
opposing
the
detention
of
immigrants
and
the
Jerome
combs
Detention
Center,
and
to
ask
you
to
end
this
policy.
G
The
recent
visit
by
congressman's,
Garcia
and
other
elected
officials
was
not
quote
garbage
for
a
quote
circus,
as
sheriff
Downey
described
it,
but
rather
a
light
into
a
world
that
is
hidden
from
us,
no
matter
how
sheriff
Downey
and
others
may
want
to
paint
this
condition
the
conditions
at
this
Detention
Center.
You
cannot
deny
the
fact
that
it
remains
a
prison.
H
H
Your
sheriff
can
tell
you
how
much
money
you're
making
every
month
off
these
bodies,
but
he
can't
provide
statistics
about
whether
those
held
here
are
serious
criminals
or
whether
they
have
just
skated
through
a
stop
sign
on
an
icy
road.
As
elected
board
members,
you
believe
Kankakee
needs
these
incarcerated
bodies,
economic
reasons,
but
you
can't
tell
community
members
how
much
money
is
being
spent
to
take
care
of
them
or
how
many
of
them
have
families
and
young
children
or
how
many
have
been
here
for
a
generation
or
more?
H
How
many
are
low-income
and
can't
afford
a
lawyer
and
how
many
are
fleeing
violence
at
my
seat,
I
meant
to
grab
this
picture
is
a
picture
of
my
grandparents
who
were
born
or
both
born
in
Sicily,
and
came
here
in
the
early
nineteen
hundred's,
and
if
they
were
alive
today
they
would
surely
be
in
your
county
jail.
They
were
dirt
poor.
Thank
you.
They
were
dirt
before
they
had
grade
school
education.
They
were
dark-skinned
Italians,
they
spoke
very
little
English
and
they
did
not
obtain
legal
status
until
they'd
been
in
this
country
for
many
years.
H
That's
how
it
worked
back
then,
and
while
my
grandparents
knew
discrimination
and
hatred,
they
also
knew
how
to
build
a
strong
neighborhood,
get
good
jobs
and
raise
a
family
that
continues
to
give
back
to
this
to
this
country.
Money
is
being
used
to
persuade
you
that
using
people's
bodies
in
this
way
is
moral
and
lawful
and
I
urge
you
to
think
about
the
lives
and
the
well-being
of
families
and
the
suffering
of
those
in
your
county
jail.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
I
I
You
got
it
right.
Thank
you
good
evening,
I'm
Beth,
Lange
I'm,
a
member
of
a
Jewish
synagogue
in
Evanston,
and
our
our
congregation
is
a
member
of
the
Chicago
religious
Leadership
Network,
and
the
Jewish
Council
on
urban
affairs
I'm,
proud
to
be
here
today
with
people
from
these
two
coalition's
and
in
partnership
with
connect
Kankakee
many
of
us
are
advocating
for
national
immigration
reform.
I
I
Sheriffs
and
Ogilvie
and
Stevenson
counties
are
being
sued
for
violations
of
the
Illinois
trust
Act
that
prohibits
law
enforcement
from
doing
the
work
of
ice.
The
suits
are
on
behalf
of
three
clients
who
were
stopped
for
minor
traffic
violations
were
released
on
bond,
but
the
sheriff's
offices
broke
the
law
and
held
them
for
ice.
I
At
the
same
time,
immigration
detention
centers
have
faced
numerous
civil
and
human
rights
violation,
complaints,
including
allegations
of
substandard
medical
care,
sexual
and
physical
abuse
and
exploitative
labor
practices.
Yet
the
current
administration
has
sought
to
further
expand
immigration.
Detention,
in
contrast
to
the
law
that
considers
immigration
violations
to
be
strictly
civil.
That
is
non
punitive,
a
merely
preventative
in
nature.
Why
am
I
citing
the
fact
about
civil
immigration
policy,
because
you,
the
county
board,
have
adopted
a
convenient
narrative
to
justify
your
support
of
incoming
ice
funds
to
detain
individuals
in
your
county
jail?
I
Your
claim
you're
supporting
the
law,
but
it
is
a
policy,
not
a
law,
to
detain
individuals
with
immigration
violations.
You
are
choosing
to
detain
people
I
urge
the
board
to
ask
questions
about
the
sheriff's
plans
to
expand
your
facility
to
detain
people
for
civil
immigration
violations.
You
can
oppose
ice
presence
in
your
community
and
I
have
abstracts
of
the
reports
I've
cited
to
enter
into
the
public
record.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
tonight.
I
A
J
While
I
would
like
to
share
the
concerns
that
several
others
have
had
regarding
the
morality
and
ethics
of
detaining
folks
on
behalf
of
ice
in
our
county
jail,
I
worry
that
any
moral
argument
here
is
unfortunately
lost.
So
instead,
I'd
like
to
address
the
financial
aspects
of
the
current
arrangement,
in
particular,
I'm
wondering
how
the
county
plans
to
balance
its
budget
in
the
event
that
a
Democratic
presidential
candidate
is
elected
and
the
number
of
ice
detainees
drops
dramatically.
J
K
My
name
is
Rosanna
Chavez
I'm,
a
sophomore
at
BBC,
HS
I'm,
part
of
the
Youth
Advisory
Council,
also
part
of
team
court
and
I
also
have
done
activities
with
the
it's
been
a
partnership
between
key
the
US
National
Institute
of
Health.
Did
a
national
survey
called
smarter
in
the
future
that
found
that
one
and
fourth
twelfth
graders
said
they
would
try
marijuana
or
increased
their
use
of
the
drug
if
marijuana
was
legalized
what
and
for
what?
If
that
was
your
child?
K
This
is
what
youth
across
the
nation
are
saying.
But
if
we
look
at
the
kangy
County
High
School
students,
they
were
asked
in
the
2018
Illinois.
Do
you
survey?
How
much
do
you
think
people
risk
harming
themselves
if
they
smoke
marijuana
56%,
responded,
no
risk
or
slight
risk.
That
means
our
youth
already
think.
Marijuana
is
not
that
bad,
and
do
we
really
want
the
message
that
our
government
and
leadership
think
marijuana
isn't
that
dangerous.
K
We
are
here
today
as
student
leaders
who
care
about
how
this
decision
will
impact
our
brothers
and
our
sisters.
The
normalization
of
marijuana
leads
to
a
false
idea
that
marijuana
is
not
that
dangerous
and
that
it's
okay
for
teens,
when
in
reality
it's
only
OK
for
those
who
apply
who
for
those
who
are
21
and
older
commercialization
of
marijuana,
leads
to
the
wrong
guy.
K
That
marijuana
is
safe
in
Anchorage
Alaska
school
suspensions
from
marijuana
increased
more
than
one
41%
from
2015
to
2017
after
legalization
since
2012
the
percentage,
the
percentage
of
Colorado
suspensions
for
marijuana
has
risen
and
marijuana
remains
the
top
of
fences
in
school.
The
fact
that
I
can
walk
into
my
high
school
bathroom
and
see
students
hitting
their
dad
pen
or
after
school
doing
little
sales
I
think
that
should
be
something
that
is
worrisome
for
all
of
us.
K
Moving
on
the
issue
of
teens
the
teen
brains,
the
chain
brain
grows
three
times
in
your
lifetime,
the
first
time
during
utero
and
the
second
time
when
you're
2
to
4
and
the
last
time
is
in
your
teen
years
as
the
brain
grows.
It
is
more
vulnerable
to
addiction,
which
is
why
your
mother
probably
did
a
smoke
or
do
drugs
while
she
was
pregnant
with
you.
Introducing
alcohol
and
drugs
is
not
a
good
idea
of
routines.
K
The
risk
of
addiction
is
way
much
greater
in
teens,
for
example,
what
an
11
adults
who
use
marijuana
will
become
addicted.
The
ratio
increases
to
one
in
six
teens
and
the
marijuana
industry
knows
this,
which
is
why
they're
targeting
me
and
my
friends
and
they're
not
only
hoping
to
addicted
for
life,
there's
the
seating
and
doing
so.
K
In
fact,
a
recent
study
found
that
the
impact
of
using
cannabis
was
worse
on
teenage
thinking,
skills
memory
and
behavior
more
than
underage
drinking,
drinking
alcohol
and
smoking
weed
at
a
young
age
is
known
to
cause
problems
with
learning
attention,
decision-making
and
academic
performance.
This
study
found
these
problems
increased
as
cannabis
use,
increased
and
the
facts
were
long
lasting.
Unlike
those
of
alcohol,
our
future
teachers,
legislators
and
our
future
leaders.
They
should
think-
and
they
should
know
that
marijuana
is
not
okay
routines
and
it's
up
to
us
to
make
sure
that
it's
known.
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
as
he
said
my
name-
is
Trent
wills
from
moments,
Illinois
and
I'm.
Also
here
to
talk
about
the
Marijuana
Act.
We
have
seen
this
in
other
areas
where
marijuana
has
been
legalized,
such
as
Colorado,
Washington
and
California,
like
big
tobacco
of
the
past.
Big
marijuana
knows
that
it
needs
a
lifelong
addicted
customer
to
get
a
profit.
They
want.
Addictive
industries
generate
the
ship,
the
share
of
their
profits
from
addicts,
not
casual
users.
This
means
that
creating
addicts
is
the
main
goal
and,
as
every
good
tobacco
executive
knows,
this
means
targeting
teens.
L
Like
my
friends.
If
this
sounds
familiar
it
should
the
tobacco
and
alcohol
industries
follow
similar
patterns
while
selling
their
illegal
substances,
and
we
know
how
the
stories
end.
Money-Hungry
industries
targeting
the
vulnerable,
will
stop
at
nothing
to
increase
attics
in
it
addict
addictive
addictions
for-profit.
Why
do
we
want
to
repeat
this
with
marijuana?
Why
would
we
want
to
let
them
take
advantage
of
us.
Aren't
lies
more
important
than
dollar
bills.
Don't
let
wealth
bind
you
of
my
peers,
health.
L
These
photos
are
some
examples
of
how
the
industry
targets-
students,
pot,
tarts,
P,
ot
tarts,
made
to
resemble
the
popular
breakfast
food.
Pop-Tarts
adults
aren't
the
main
audience
who's
eating
pop-tarts
are
they?
They
are
clearly
targeting
kids.
Look
at
these
breakfast
cereals
and
candies
that
are
very
popular
among
teens
captain
munch,
chronic
toast
crunch
fruity
luby's
keep
cat
Munchie
Munchie
ways
again.
The
industry
wants
our
youth
a
stated
before
the
industry
wants
to
target
youth.
Why,
though,
it's
the
same
tactic
as
big
tobacco
and
alcohol
industries?
They
are
targeting
the
vulnerable
and
developing
teen
brain.
L
M
I
am
here
representing
the
Katy
County
Health
Department
and
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
discuss
the
cannabis
ordinance
that
you'll
be
voting
on
later.
I
wanted
to
use
this
time
to
touch
on
some
of
the
communities
in
Illinois
who
have
already
chosen
to
opt
out
of
allowing
cannabis
and
or
allowing
the
dispensaries.
These
include
DuPage
County,
Libertyville,
Lisle,
Plainfield,
Morton,
Wilmington,
Bloomingdale,
machina
and
Naperville.
M
Many
of
these
communities
we
know,
are
to
be
affluent
or
prosperous,
which
I
think
is
what
many
of
the
communities
in
Kankakee
County
would
like
to
be
label
that
if
they
are
not
as
well,
the
Mokena
village
administrator
is
quoted
to
say
they
chose
to
opt
out
in
order
to
maintain
the
overall
health
and
welfare
of
the
village
and
states
have
already
legalized
cannabis.
A
majority
of
communities
chose
to
already
to
auto
70%
of
Colorado
74%
of
Michigan
and
78%
of
California.
M
Do
not
allow
dispensaries
in
their
communities
reasons
for
opting
out
included
the
thriving
illegal
market,
the
negative
impact
of
school
and
workplace
performance
and
the
decrease
in
community
and
public
safety
that
is
found
in
communities
that
chose
to
opt
in
so
I.
Just
ask
you
to
take
these
points
into
consideration
before
making
your
decision.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
Good
evening
board
members
and
everyone
else
so
I'm,
gonna
kind
of
continue
on
with
this
conversation
about
the
important
decision
that
the
board
is
gonna,
be
faced
with
on
deciding
whether
or
not
to
allow
dispensaries
to
establish
in
unincorporated
Kinki
County.
So
there
are
many
concerns
that
continue
to
arise
as
we
study
communities
who
have
allowed
recreational
marijuana
within
them.
The
increased
crime
rates,
the
increase
in
air
admissions,
traffic
accidents
and
fatalities
related
to
marijuana
and
against
popular
belief.
There
is
an
increase
in
black
market
activity.
N
According
to
the
youth
survey,
marijuana
use
among
Kinki
County
teens
continues
to
rise,
even
among
eighth
graders,
and
to
put
this
in
perspective,
we
are
already
looking
at
nearly
one
in
four
Kankakee
County
high
school
seniors,
who
reported
using
marijuana
with
develop
30
days
prior
to
taking
that
survey,
and
although
the
legal
age
to
purchase
this
21,
we
expect
those
numbers
to
mimic.
That
of
other
states
who
have
legalized
and
continue
to
raise
as
dispensaries
begin
to
pop
up
and
the
use
of
cannabis
continues
to
be
normalized.
N
Your
decision
on
this
topic
will
undoubtedly
shape
perceptions
by
our
younger
people.
I.
Ask
you
to
contemplate
what
message
you
want
to
send
to
them
again.
I
understand
that
the
bill
passed
at
the
state
level
is
for
those
21
and
up
to
legally
purchase
cannabis
products,
but
what
we
have
already
seen
marketing
like
Trenton
mentioned
before
that
are
aimed
directly
at
teens.
He
mentioned
pot
tarts,
like
he
said,
peyote
tarts,
there's
also
things
like
Keith
Katz
captain
and
most
of
them
was
significantly
high
THC
level,
some
over
30
or
40%.
N
We
expect
to
see
these
exact
same
things
showing
up
in
our
communities,
I
believe
at
the
very
least,
a
review
of
these
policies
and
how
they'll
impact
our
use
in
our
community
and
whether
or
not
they'll
make
them
safe
to
healthy,
healthier
is
something
to
be
considered
as
you
make
this
important
decision.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
O
P
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Kate
Reed
and
I
also
want
to
continue
this
conversation
about
the
impact
of
marijuana
on
our
youth
and
on
our
communities
has
been
stated
earlier.
One
in
four
youth,
according
to
am
on
a
national
survey,
called
monitoring
the
future
high
school
students
said
that
they
would
either
start
using
or
increase
their
use
if
marijuana
is
legalized.
So
now,
as
we
are
having
this
local
conversation
about
encouraging
commercializing
youth
addiction,
do
we
want
to
send
that
message
to
our
students?
P
My
office
is
located
in
our
alternative
school,
so
I
look
into
the
faces
every
day
of
those
who
will
be
impacted
most
by
these
decisions
that
you,
as
our
public
servants,
make
that
impact
so
many
lives
when
we
did
a
focus
group
with
our
students
about
marijuana,
one
of
the
students
said:
if
that's
what
our
government
once,
why
would
anyone
not
use
marijuana
so
to
them?
They
don't
understand
that
it's
up
for
those
above
21
to
them.
It's
a
letter
of
endorsement
from
our
local
government
encouraging
youth
addiction,
and
why
does
that
matter?
P
Because,
according
to
the
National
Institute
on
Drug
Abuse,
one
in
six
high
school
students
who
use
marijuana
will
go
on
to
develop
a
marijuana
use
disorder
and
that
has
lifelong
implications.
Decreased
IQ,
decreased
lifelong
earning
potential,
decreased
productivity,
there's
so
much
progress
being
made
in
Kankakee
County
to
become
a
thriving
community
and
I.
This
community
and
I
am
so
encouraged
by
the
progress
being
made
and
I
think
this
would
be
one
of
the
easiest
ways
to
combat
all
of
that
progress
to
become
a
place
where
our
youth
can
flourish.
P
People
over
profit,
because
I'm,
someone
who
had
a
family
member
killed
by
someone
driving
high
on
marijuana
and
I,
don't
want
other
youth
to
have
to
sit
in
those
courtrooms
and
those
funerals
like
I
have
so.
Thank
you
public
servants
for
thinking
about
the
lives
of
the
decisions
that
you
make.
Thank
you
thank.
A
Q
A
To
make
sure
that's
legal
because
I
don't
know,
if
you
can,
you
can't
say
the
time
you
just
you
just
have
to
say
five
minutes
extension
for
all
of
them
that
that's
how
we
get
five
minute
extension.
Is
there
a
second
mr.
Kinzinger,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye.
Those
opposed
motion
carries
Kaleigh.
Please
keep
that
in
mind.
We
have
a
five
minute
extension
for
everybody:
Kaylee
Mikkel,
Rath,
Bourbonnais,.
R
Good
evening
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
my
name
is
Kaylee
McDowell,
Rath
and
I'm.
A
student
at
Olivet,
Nazarene,
University
I,
would
like
to
work
with
youth
and
young
adults.
Specifically,
I
am
passionate
about
those
who
have
developed
an
unhealthy
dependency
to
drugs
and
alcohol,
as
I
have
witnessed
the
effects
of
this
being
the
child
of
a
cocaine
addict
and
an
alcoholic.
Both
of
my
parents
claimed
marijuana
as
their
gateway
drug.
R
The
revenue
that
cannabis
would
bring
in
is
a
big
consideration
for
allowing
these
dispensaries,
but
do
we
know
for
sure
how
much
our
community
can
expect
can't
expect,
and
is
it
worth
it?
We
have
heard
talans
project
to
receive
two
hundred
thousand
to
an
upwards
of
six
hundred
thousand
in
revenue
per
dispensary,
but
we
feel
that
this
is
wishful
thinking.
Based
on
our
estimates.
We
are
projecting
that
this
this
to
be
much
lower.
R
R
We
can't
just
consider
the
potential
revenue,
though
we
must
consider
the
cost.
According
to
CDC
for
every
one
dollar
raised
for
alcohol
or
tobacco
taxation,
we
spend
$10
in
societal
costs
associated
with
these
substances,
alcohol
and
tobacco.
Our
money
drainers,
not
money
makers,
neither
249
billion
dollars
worth
of
alcohol,
only
made
16
billion
in
US
revenues
and
314
billion
dollars
worth
of
tobacco
only
made
33
billion
in
US
revenues.
Neither
of
these
brought
in
even
a
third
of
what
states
paid
for
them.
R
The
670
point,
5
million
projected
annual
costs,
is
based
on
stats
such
as
the
one
hundred
and
fifty
one
percent
of
marijuana
related
traffic
deaths
in
Colorado
from
2013
to
2017.
This
happened
because
Colorado
agreed
and
put
231
million
dollars
towards
increased
drug
activity,
drugged
driving
fatalities.
If
money
were
put
towards
the
increase
ER
visits,
they
could
have
avoided
the
50
2%
increase
of
those
visits
which
followed
normalization
in
Colorado
from
2012
to
2016.
R
I
say
they
say
this,
because
there
are
other
considerations
other
than
the
revenue
think
about
the
greater
costs
such
as
what
has
already
been
mentioned:
the
workplace,
injuries
among
part-time
employees,
increase
drug
use
it
more
opioid
abuse,
which
is
already
a
crisis
in
the
community.
Why
would
we
want
to
take
steps
backwards?
R
Money
from
the
community
is
needed
for
things
such
as
drug
driving,
awareness
campaigns,
drug
prevention,
programs,
pesticide
control
and
other
agricultural
oversight,
mechanisms
and
long
term
health
impacts
to
say
that
we
wouldn't
see
a
negative
impact
in
our
community.
If
this
much
pot
was
sold
in
the
community
is
naive
at
best,
especially
when
we
know
the
cost
to
society,
statewide
has
more
than
the
revenue
by
looking
at
state
data.
Why
would
this
be
any
different
at
the
local
level,
Thank
You.
S
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Cassie
Appleton
and
I
am
a
senior
Social
Work
student
at
Olivet,
Nazarene,
University
and
as
a
future
as
a
future.
Social
worker
I
am
here
tonight
because
I
am
concerned
that
the
commercialization
of
marijuana
in
our
community
will
impact
the
community
and
clients
I
hope
to
serve
in
the
future.
S
Cannabis
is
an
addictive
substance
that
is
misunderstood
and
there
are
addiction,
profit
ears
that
are
targeting
youth
in
their
marketing
in
order
to
gain
those
customers
for
life,
for
their
own
profits
and
as
public
servants.
You
have
a
responsibility
to
protect
our
youth
and
create
a
safer
and
healthier
community.
S
Tonight
I
ask
that
you
choose
to
opt
out
of
allowing
the
commercialization
and
normalization
of
marijuana
in
our
community.
If
this
is
not
on
the
table,
I
ask
that
you
consider
a
moratorium
until
we
can
better
understand
the
impact
that
normalizing
and
commercializing
marijuana
will
have
in
our
community.
The
potential
risks
are
great,
including
increased
duis
increase
usage
among
youth
and
adults.
Increased
crime,
increased
hospitalizations
and
many
more
wouldn't.
S
Wouldn't
it
be
worth
it
to
be
sure
of
the
impacts
before
we
proceed
tonight,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
limit
the
local
damage
by
opting
out
the
opportunity
to
send
a
message
to
our
community
that
getting
high
is
not
a
fun
or
safe
activity.
We
have
the
opportunity
tonight
to
put
people
over
profits
and
to
keep
our
communities
safe,
healthy
and
productive.
S
We
have
that
opportunity
to
opt-out
of
retail
sales
of
marijuana
in
our
community.
We,
as
youth,
are
doing
what
we
can
to
keep
our
community
safe,
healthy
and
productive,
and
we
hope
and
pray
that
you
as
public
servants
will
do
the
same.
Thank
you
for
considering
the
lives
impacted
by
this
decision.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
that
concludes
public
comment.
We've
extended
it.
There
was
two
left,
but
does
the
board
want
to
move
on
or
two
the
one
here?
The
last
two
motion
motion
to
move
on.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
continue
on
with
the
agenda
say
aye,
those
opposed
same
sign
all
righty.
Thank
you
all
for
your
comment.
Moving
on
vacancy
an
appointment
tonight,
we
have
a
couple
of
gentlemen
who
are
going
to
be
asked
for
your
approval
to
be
appointed
to
the
board.
A
The
first
is
Chad
Miller
to
fill
the
unexpired
term
for
district
25
for
for
district
25
on
the
kakie
county
board.
Is
there
a
motion
to
accept
this
cold
neck
off?
Second,
mr.
burned?
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
topic?
Already,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
Those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
if
you
want
to
join
us
Chad
and
get
sworn
in
real,
quick.
A
Chad's,
a
returning
board
member,
he
moved
out
of
his
district
and
you
still
wanted
to
come
back.
So
thank
you
for
your
service.
The
next
one
is
the
appointment
of
Craig
long.
They
will
fill
the
unexpired
term
for
district
9
on
the
Kankakee
County
Board.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
there?
Mr.
has
a
second
mr.
Smith.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
one?
Any
questions
I
mean
at
all.
Mr.
Byrd,
hello,.
A
And
when
this,
when
I
first
mr.
long
was
running
for
the
seat
anyway,
so
the
appointment
was
somewhat
easy.
I
do
that
he
was
interested,
obviously
because
he
was
running
for
the
seat,
so
we
did
check
that
out.
I
did
have
the
state's
attorney's
office
looking
at
it.
I
have
a
memo
from
Delbert
skimmer
horn
on
the
the
permits
that
were
pulled
and
I
can
tell
you
from
my
perspective
about
what
the
state's
attorney
weigh
in
he
chooses,
but
anything
over
20
acres
is
a
farmer
and
it's
regulated
by
the
state
of
Illinois.
A
It's
not
regulated
by
the
county
as
far
as
occupancy
or
any
of
that
other
stuff
I
pulled
a
permit
on
the
building
which
allows
him
to
do
what
he
wants.
He
could
live
in
the
chicken
coop
if
he
wanted
to
that's
state
law,
it's
a
farm,
we
don't
regulate
farms,
so
that
is
really
the
extent
of
it
all.
The
other
things
are
superfluous
to
them
to
the
discussion.
So
as
far
as
the
county
board
remember,
his
driver's
license
says
the
address.
He
lives
in
the
headdress,
so
that's
the
you
can
represent
the
district.
A
A
Welcome
aboard
so
before
we
get
into
the
the
further
down
the
agenda.
I
just
want
to
announce
one
opening
on
the
kinky
Valley
Airport
Authority,
it's
something
that
came
in
between
executive
committee
and
now
so
I'm
announcing
it
now
to
fill
the
unexpired
term
of
apology
Toby.
So
so,
when
I
make
that
announcement,
hopefully
an
executive
committee
will
have
somebody
to
to
join
that
board
cuz.
They
need
to
keep
business
moving
so
under
presentations.
A
Tonight
we
have
a
couple
here:
Scott
pilaf
is
the
executive
director
of
the
Kankakee
River
Basin
Yellow
River
Basin
Development
Commission
Skagen
come
on
up
please
and
yeah.
Scott
he's
gonna
your
microphones
right
up
here.
So
we're
put
you
on
the
stage.
Is
that
Alright?
It's
good
to
see
you
so
Scott
is
a
former
state
legislator
for
Indiana
and
he
accepted
the
position
of
the
executive
director
when
new
commission
was
formed
state
of
Indiana,
and
he
can
explain
a
little
bit
about
that.
A
U
You
chairman,
wheeler
members
of
the
board,
I'm
very
grateful
for
your
invitation
to
speak
for
a
few
minutes
here
this
evening.
I
really
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
preparatory
things
before
the
main
event
of
Bob
R&C
vash
bake,
making
their
presentation
about
our
work
plan
for
the
Kankakee
River
I
want
to
report
that
the
partnership
between
the
state
of
Indiana
in
the
state
of
Illinois
on
this
issue
has
never
been
stronger
after
the
2018
flood
in
the
Indiana
legislature,
it
was
acknowledged
at
the
highest
levels
of
Indiana
state
government
that
something
needed
to
change.
U
U
We
needed
to
figure
out
a
way
to
engage
an
entire
region
to
support
a
major
endeavor
and
we
needed
to
be
able
to
reach
across
the
state
line
and
having
served
in
the
Indiana
legislature
for
two
decades.
Not
everything
worked
out
the
way
I
wanted
it
to,
and
many
things
did
not
go
extraordinarily
well,
but
in
this
case
I
think
on
the
Indiana
side
of
the
state
line.
They
got
it
right.
U
We
already
are
often
running
the
new
Commission
was
established
under
Indiana
State
law
on
July
1st.
The
very
first
action
that
we
took
was
to
invite
two
representatives
from
Illinois
to
become
members
of
our
commission.
Chairman
wheeler
has
joined
us
and
we
were
very
fortunate
to
have
not
only
his
expertise
but
his
skills
at
consensus-building.
U
In
our
group,
we
promptly
adopted
a
long-term
40
year
work
plan
that
was
developed
by
Christopher
B,
Burke
engineering
and
you'll
be
hearing
some
of
that
in
the
moment,
and
we
also
embraced
a
few
basic
principles
very
early
on
the
first
one.
Is
that
we're
gonna
target
all
of
our
energies
right
off
the
bat
to
stop
sending
sand
to
Illinois?
U
U
We
are
going
to
move
forward
with
reconstructing
the
stream
banks
towards
ensuring
that
sediment
does
not
continue
to
float
downstream,
as
the
increased
velocities
of
waters
have
resulted
in.
The
other
thing
that
we're
gonna
do
is
look
for
ways
that
the
river
can
breathe
and
we're
already
setting
the
example
on
that.
The
Commission
owns
a
property
in
Newton
County
and
into
Indiana
in
a
partnership
with
the
Indiana
Department
of
Natural
Resources.
We're
going
to
turn
about
400
acres
of
what
is
currently
farmland
over
into
flood
storage.
U
So
there's
many
years
of
this
type
of
work
to
be
done
in
the
future,
but
we
wanted
to
show
right
off
the
bat
that
it
is
a
priority
to,
rather
than
send
water
right
downstream,
to
find
ways
where
we
can
contain
it
better
within
the
existing
floodplain
and
then
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
for
ways
where
we
stop
sending
water
to
the
channel.
So
quickly.
I've
been
very
grateful
for
the
interactions
I've
had
with
our
friends
in
Illinois.
U
I
think
we
have
an
outstanding
opportunity
for
for
building
on
this
partnership,
particularly
as
I
hear
about
that
you're
looking
for
ways
in
order
to
improve
the
stream
for
the
greater
good
down
here
in
Illinois,
so
I
certainly
want
to
applaud
for
the
work
that
you've
done.
I
want
to
tell
you
that
me
years
in
government,
it's
not
very
often
that
you
come
across
the
state
line
somewhere
and
get
a
warm
welcome
and
I
just
want
to.
U
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
assure
you
that
whenever
you
need
me
back
over
here
to
talk
about
what
we're
doing
in
Indiana
and
also
to
receive
your
ideas
to
take
back
for
your
efforts
here
in
Illinois,
I
will
be
very
happy
to
do
that.
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman
I,
yield
back
the
balance
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
coming
and
I
did.
I
did
lie
to
you
when
I
said
he
was
gonna,
be
done
by
6
o'clock,
even
though
I
was
pretty
sure
he
wasn't
gonna
be
so
he
wasn't
came
to
office
kidding
the
next,
as
Scott
had
mentioned,
that
the
we
have
Bob
Barr
in,
say,
Bosh
Beck
want
to
make
sure
these
two
gentlemen
have
been
doing
quite
a
bit
of
work
for
quite
a
long
time.
A
But
in
this
this
realm
that,
if
the
board
remembers,
we
authorized
money
to
go
towards
a
work
plan,
not
another
study
but
a
work
plan,
and
we
finally
have
the
result
of
that
and
we're
going
to
tonight.
I
asked
them
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
Indiana,
but
more
so
what
that
means
for
us.
What
and
what
are
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
here
and
again
it's
just
the
start
of
the
conversation.
It's
not
the
end.
So
please,
gentlemen,
for
yours.
V
It
is,
as
Scott
said,
a
pleasure
to
be
here.
We
have
spent
a
number
of
years
working
on
the
Kankakee
in
Indiana
and
it
was
nice
to
come
across
the
border
and
come
to
Illinois
and
see
what
we
could
do
to
work
on
the
river
as
a
whole
I'm,
a
river
scientist
Siavash.
Who
will
talk
to
you
in
just
a
second
as
an
engineer
we
collaborate
on
these
type
of
issues
to
kind
of
give
you
the
whole
piece.
V
I'm
gonna
go
a
little
quickly,
I'm
in
a
layout
of
the
history
and
what
you
really
I
hear
about
is
what's
in
that
plan,
and
how
do
we
intend
to
put
that
plan
to
work
and
see
if
ash
is
going
to
do
most
of
that,
for
you
so
I
want
to
tell
you
briefly
what
our
charge
was.
What
Indiana
told
us
that
we
needed
to
do
and
they
want
to
just
define
the
root
causes
of
the
erosion,
as
Scott
said,
where's
the
sand
coming
from,
and
what
can
we
do
about
it?
V
They
wanted
us
to
communicate
the
extent
of
the
risk
with
some
flood
pulse
increasing,
and
why
was
it
increasing
and
how
much
would
we
may
be
expected
to
continuing
these
identify
strategies
for
addressing
that
and
develop
a
work
plan
for
actually
implementing
solutions?
Adaptations
mitigation
that
we
could
use
to
solve?
Some
of
these
issues,
you're
familiar
with
I,
believe
the
basin,
and
you
can
see
why
Illinois
is
very
interested
in
what
Indiana
is
going
to
do
to
their
portion
of
the
river.
V
We
have
most
of
the
watershed
in
Indiana
tremendous
effect,
though
on
the
state
of
Illinois,
so
in
Illinois
as
soon
as
we
came
across
and
we
had
the
benefit
in
Indiana
of
a
number
of
representatives
from
the
state
of
Illinois
coming
over
and
talking
about
issues
that
they
were
seeing
and
they
told
us
sand
load
was
increasing.
Scott
said
that
was
right
at
the
top
of
the
list.
More
sand
bars
were
developing
in
the
river
in
places
where
they
hadn't
seen
before
channel,
and
the
moment'
area
particularly
was
shifting.
Why
was
that
occurring?
V
Flooding
is
increasing
and
Momence
an
aroma
park
and
through
those
areas,
what
could
be
done
about
that
dredging
and
tree
removal
that
had
historically
been
done
in
Indiana,
where
ongoing
concerns,
because
the
potential
for
potentially
increasing
flow
and/or
sediment
coming
into
Illinois,
the
history
of
the
river
has
a
lot
to
do
with
these
problems,
and
many
of
you
have
lived
around
this
river
and
know
this
river
and
are
familiar
with
some
of
these
images.
But
in
Indiana
the
river
looks
like
this.
V
That
straight
line
is
the
river
completely
straightened
reduced
by
almost
two
thirds,
so
it's
much
straighter
and
steeper
than
it
ever
was
before.
As
it
comes
across
the
border
into
Illinois,
it
hits
a
small
remnant
of
what
was
the
grand
Kankakee
Marsh
moments,
and
that
remnant
is
all
that's
left
really
of
the
grand
Kankakee
Marsh,
because
once
you
get
past
moments,
the
river
changes
changes
right
about
here
becomes
a
much
broader,
steeper
River
and
it
doesn't
have
much
of
any
trouble
transporting
the
sand
from
that
point.
V
What
we
found
when
we
were
studying
this
surprised
is
in
a
number
of
ways:
Scott
again
mentioned
the
sand
and
the
sediment
coming
in
every
place
that
you
see
you
read
on
this
image,
and
here
you
see,
Indiana
Illinois
is
right
here:
every
place
in
red
is
an
unstable
slope,
think
sand
source,
unstable
sources
in
Illinois
a
couple:
little
dots
right
there
at
this
scale.
You
almost
can't
see
them.
The
other
thing
that's
hard
to
show
on
a
map
like
this
is
in
Indiana
our
unstable
slopes.
Look
like
this
in
Illinois,
your
unstable
slopes.
V
So
these
are
gone.
This
one
has
shifted.
This
area
that
was
here
in
1973
is
now
gone,
and
this
island
is
literally
shifted
a
little
bit,
so
the
islands
are
there,
but
they're
actually
decreasing
in
size
in
some
places.
Now
it
may
be
a
function
of
the
increased
flow,
let's
see
if
a
she's
going
to
about
that
in
just
a
second,
but
that's
something
that
is
a
little
bit
alarming,
believe
it
or
not,
because
if
it's
already
able
to
start
moving
those
as
it
continues
to
go
up
that
will
change
as
well.
V
This
map
shows
you
every
place
where
there
isn't
a
levee
or
a
berm
like
structure
in
Indiana,
everything
in
red
and
every
one
of
these
yellow
dots
is
a
tributary
coming
in,
so
the
river
can
move
outside
of
its
banks.
It's
not
completely
living,
but
what
this
gives
us
is
an
opportunity.
Scott
said
to
let
breathe
a
little
bit
more.
So
that's
what
we
were
looking
at.
V
W
Evening
everybody,
it's
really
a
pleasure
to
be
here
and
and
to
speak
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
work
we
have
done
for
Kankakee.
What
are
the
things
I
wanted
to
go
over.
First
is
the
extent
of
flood
risk
we
see
in
the
Kankakee
County.
You
can
see
some
of
that
there's
some
blow
out
of
area
near
aroma
park,
another
one
by
moments,
everything
red
dot.
W
If
you
can
see
it
is
a
structure
or
some
sort
of
a
housing
that
is
in
the
floodplain,
and
there
are
yellow
lines
which
show
the
road,
and
this
is
also
in
our
plan,
which
is
on
line
and
and
and-
and
you
can
also
look
at
it
later.
But
but
the
important
point
is
that
we
see
several
clusters
or
homes
in
the
floodplain
and
and
are
suffering
from
that
one.
The
key
point
is
that
they
are
in
the
floodplain.
W
This
is
verdicts
we
expect
flooding
to
happen,
but
the
news,
the
I
guess
the
bad
news
is
that
what
we
believe
everything
which
we
are
seeing
is
that
there
is
increase
in
in
flooding.
That's
can
be
increased
in
rainfall
and
increase
in
flow.
That's
coming
so
this
situation,
you're
seeing
are
be
expanding
somewhat.
That's
how
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
geez.
You
have
to
address
those
changes
in
terms
of
rainfall.
W
This
some
of
you
may
have
seen
this
on
the
right.
You
see
the
percent
change
in
total
annual
precipitation
falling
in
heaviest
1%
of
events.
So
if
you
have
a
top
1%
of
the
events
and
into
a
couple
of
inches
or
more,
you
are
seeing
about
42
percent
increase
in
precipitation
that
we
are
seeing
annually
in
Midwest
really
significant,
and
this
is
this
is
happening
last
4050
years.
This
is
what's
happening
in
the
past.
We're
not
talking
about.
What's
gonna
happen
in
the
future.
W
W
Has
been
heavily
increasing
over
time
and
that's
why
you
do
remember
things
from
50
years
ago.
Was
it
like
this
and
now
you
seem
much
more
events,
because
the
situation
has
changed
over
those
50
60
years
of
up
there,
and
what
is
telling
us
is
that
some
of
the
management
strategies
that
we
may
have
in
the
past
may
not
work
anymore
with
this
kind
of
system.
A
A
A
W
And
I
both
have
some
issues
of
staying
the
place
is
that
on
so
in
terms
of
flow
increases,
this
isn't
moments.
We
have
gauging
stations
moments.
What
they're
measuring
is
the
elevation
of
the
water
and
also
velocity
over
so
to
you
in
a
result,
is
how
much
flow
is
going
through
your
streams
and
if
you
look
at
1915
through
2050,
so
we
have
a
hundred
years
of
data
that
we
are
looking
at.
You
see
a
very
significant
trend
in
increasing
peak
discharge.
W
These
are
the
highest
peak
discharge
observed
each
year
and
we
are
seeing
significant
increase
in
moments.
We
have
77%
increase
in
those
flows
over
the
past
100
years.
I
want
to
ask
a
quick
question.
You
know
you
have
this
discussion
about
climate
change
and
what
causes
it
and
what
happens
and
I'm
not
interested
in
that,
because
I
see
so
many
other
issues
here
that
are
important
to
discuss,
but
how
many
of
you
think
this
trend
is
gonna.
Go
this
way.
W
It's
gonna
be
either
the
same
or
higher
due
to
trauma
change.
So
what
is
changing?
What
we
have
seen
is
a
trend
which
is
very
much
increasing
and
we
expect
that
to
increase
further
based
on
what
we're
seeing
so
again,
our
strategies
have
to
recognize
that
this
is
what
is
coming
to
to
the
Kankakee
at
aroma
park.
There's
two
major
tributaries,
one
is
Kankakee,
one
is
Iroquois
River.
This
is
what
is
coming
from
Iroquois
river
as
it
joints
in
aroma
park
in
here.
W
This
is
a
station
on
Chebanse
on
Iroquois
River
and
again
you
see
a
very
significant
increase
in
peak
discharge
is
very
similar
to
what
we
saw
in
Momence
again,
88%
increase.
These
two
streams
joined
together,
go
through
the
aroma
park,
Kankakee
and
then
finally,
to
Wilmington
and
there
we
are
seeing
22%
increase
over
the
flow
over
the
last
100
years.
122
percent.
That
means
whatever
we
have
been
seeing
100
years
ago,
is
more
than
doubled
within
things.
Obviously,
this
has
a
consequences
in
what's
happening
and
what
you
are
experiencing.
W
So
why
are
this
peak
flows
and
and
and
and
and
rainfall,
increasing,
of
course,
the
rainfall?
We
know
what
is
increasing?
Let's
discuss
what
peak
discharges
and
as
those
volumes
that
we
seen
increasing
so
what
that
has
to
do
with
some
of
that
has
to
do
with
the
rainfall,
of
course,
but
we
are
also
seeing
other
issues
and
one
of
them
is
uncompensated
urban
development
in
Indiana
and
I'm
sure
in
Illinois.
There
are
detention
requirements
and
some
of
that
is
going
to
be
compensated
because
of
those
peak
discharges.
W
But
in
many
cases
the
volume
is
still
increasing.
Kankakee
River
watershed
is
heavily
at
agricultural
80,
something
percent
or
85
percent
of
it
is
agricultural,
and
what
you're
seeing
is
that
as
rainfall
are
increasing
the
intensity
and
and
the
density
of
those
drainage
tiles
are
increasing.
We
have
more
and
more
farmers,
both
in
Indiana
and
Illinois,
trying
to
get
rid
of
water
as
quickly
as
possible.
W
What
this
does
is
short
circuits,
basically
pretty
much
the
whole
direction
of
how
rain
goes
into
the
ground
and
those
that
it
sends
it
quickly
into
the
stream,
and
so
all
three
of
these
factors
are
responsible
and
that's
why
we
need
to
trigger
all
three
of
them
if
we
want
to
get
out
of
this
rut,
somehow,
how
does
those
increases
affect
our
management
strategies?
Well,
controlling
flooding
in
a
traditional
structural
ways
that
we
have
done
in
the
past
is
no
longer
feasible.
W
We
discussed
that
in
Indiana
saying
that,
because
one
of
the
suggestion
was,
we
can
be
have
the
speaker
levees
along
the
thing
make
it
bigger
larger,
really
is
a
moving
target.
First
of
all,
you
cannot
fit
all
that
water
into
a
small
corridor.
Secondly,
you
displace
the
problem
into
somewhere
else
in
this
case
Illinois.
So
that's
not
a
solution.
We
cannot
do
those
things
with
a
moving
target.
Strategies
have
to
be
cognizant
of
continued
increase
in
fluctuations
of
flow.
That
means
that
we
are
thinking
management
versus
elimination
of
the
hazards.
W
Nature
based
solutions
can
better
scope
with
this
changing
climate,
and
we
have
examples
of
that
kind
of
nature
based
solution
using
the
what
Mother
Nature
does
and
we
have
implemented
some
of
the
pilot
project
in
in
Indiana
which
we're
hoping
that
most
of
those
projects
look
like
that
and
finally,
minimizing
the
impact
of
agriculture
and
urban
development
is
really
our
prime
importance
for
us
to
look
at
as
we
go
forward.
Strategies
have
to
address
that
as
well,
something
in
the
United
States
have
not
been
happening
in
the
past.
W
We
have
been
doing
a
lot
with
the
urban
areas
or
not
in
the
agriculture
impacts.
Are
the
same
so
whatever
the
recommendations
of
this
plan?
First
of
all,
addressing
that's
kind
of
a
changes
given
the
climate
change
we
have
addressing.
Those
problems
has
to
be
taken,
a
different
role,
different
different
paths,
and
we
are
doing
that
through
two
major
strategies,
adaptation
and
mitigation,
and
we
have
not
really
talked
about
adaptation
that
much
out
all
with
time.
When
we
look
at
engineers,
particularly
me,
our
type
of
people
coming
speaking
to
you
is
always
about
mitigation.
W
Doing
this
project
do
that
project.
We
also
need
to
understand
adaptation,
meaning
that
things
are
changing
when
need
to
understand
that
if
you
are
living
in
the
floodplain,
probably
you
should
expect
flooding,
and
so
the
question
is
that
how
do
I
cope
with
that
and
that's
a
type
of
strategies
versus
before
so
are
we
gonna
eliminate
the
flooding?
We
are
not
able
to
do
that,
particularly
in
the
large
river
system
like
this,
but
we're
not
gonna
just
throw
our
hands
off.
W
We
have
to
do
some
things
as
much
as
we
can
to
reduce
those
stressors
in
the
system.
Try
to
at
least
keep
a
hold
of
that,
so
that
doesn't
get
worse,
but
we
have
to
do
all
that
without
adverse
impact
to
others,
and
that
is
one
of
the
major
things
we
adopted
very
early
on
for
the
work
plan
and
Indiana
100%
bought
into
it.
We
cannot
expect
trance
train
our
problems
to
other
people.
W
We
talk
about
no
adverse
impact
in
our
plan
and
we
have
discussed
that
several
times,
and
so
what
does
that
mean?
Association
state
floodplain
managers.
They
find
that
an
approach
that
ensures
that
action
of
any
property
owner,
public
or
private
does
not
adverse
the
impact
property
rights
of
others
a
lot
of
times.
We
talk
about
property
rights
or
I.
Have
the
product
I
have
the
right
to
do
this
right
to
do
that,
one.
W
So
those
people
who
are
impacted,
they
have
a
property
right
and
I
think
we
have
to
think
about
that
and
the
2019
technically
work
plan.
All
of
those
is
absolutely
consistent
without
no
adverse
impact
measures
remains.
Do
not
show
you
this
quote:
do
you
want
to
those
downstream,
as
you
would
have
those
upstream
do
unto
you,
which
is
the
same
thing,
but
we
have
seen
into
our
neighbors
in
in
the
Bible
perso.
So
it
is
the
same
thing.
It
is
exactly
the
same
thing
when
we
talk
no
adverse
impact.
That's
what
we're
talking
about.
W
We
cannot
send
our
problems
to
others,
so
they
recommended
adaptation.
Strategies
are
talked
about
strategic,
strategically,
protect
the
critical
facilities,
infrastructure,
homes,
business
upfront,
flooding
through
perimeter
protection,
not
really
River,
levees
River
levees
impact
others,
whereas
if
we
need
to
protect
something
as.
W
Critical
facility
that
we
may
need
to
do
that
locally
adverse
impact
development
standards
for
urban
areas,
higher
standards
that
would
make
sure
that,
when
we
allow
development,
is
not
impacting
some
other
area
negatively
adopt
new
standards
for
from
drainage,
they're
literally
drain
projects.
We
are
talking
about
this
already
state
some
states
state
of
Michigan,
starting
to
when
they
do
digit
improvement.
There
also
add
ponds
or
regional
ponds
next
to
those
things.
W
This
is
something
we
need
to
adopt:
working,
Indiana
and
Illinois
if
we
want
to
see
impacts,
reduced,
developed
community
of
specific
flood
response
plans
now
that
we
know
we're
gonna
get
flooded.
How
do
we
reduce
the
misery
from
people?
How
do
we
know
what
roads
flooded
ahead
of
time
so
that
we
can
close
them
for
our
responders
and
also
pro
for
our
population
and
also
adopt
some
communities
specifically
flood
resilience
plans?
W
That
means
very
much
things
that
happens
in
this
board
and
it
and
the
communities
is
that,
where
do
we
not
allow
development
to
go
in?
Where
do
we,
basically
cheap
or
storage
of
the
flood
pains?
The
flood
pains
are
there
to
store
if
we
fill
them
out.
You're
going
to
increase
flooding
elsewhere,
so
those
are
type
of
things
and
those
strategies
have
to
be
in
that
we
can
help
you
with
those
plans.
We
have
several
of
these
type
of
plans
or
they've
finished
and
done
for
Indiana.
So
there
are
examples
we
can
share
with.
W
You
can
see
how
they
look
like
in
Taiba,
intense
advising
soil
health
and
cover
crops
and
because
they
keep
the
water
in
the
on
the
farmland
and
finally
conduct
a
detailed
assessment
of
work
plan
for
the
entirety
of
Iroquois
and
Iroquois,
where
why
is
that
important?
Just
to
put
some
numbers
I
know,
most
of
you
maybe
haven't
thought
about
this.
We
always
blame
Kankakee
for
all
the
problems.
We
have
that's
a
theme.
That's
that's!
Okay.
W
However,
if
you
look
at
the
numbers,
what
you
see
an
aroma,
Park
area,
six
mile
pull,
is
result
of
what
is
coming
both
from
Kankakee
and
from
Iroquois
look
at
the
numbers.
This
is
Kankakee
River
above
Iroquois
River
230,000,
sediment
load
tons
per
years
of
sediment
22,000
cubic
feet
per
second
of
discharge.
Iroquois
River,
almost
double
that
coming
in
there.
So
most
of
the
sediment
and
most
of
the
water
is
coming
from
Iroquois,
yet
we
don't
have
half
or
1/10
of
studies
or
knowledge
of
what's
happening
in
Iroquois
River.
W
We
absolutely
need
to
have
our
hands
around
that
miracle
River.
What
kind
of
strategies
do
we
take
in
Iroquois
River,
so
that
we
can
reduce
the
flow
and
sand
and
sediment
there's
more
sad
coming
from
Kankakee,
true,
but
a
lot
of
silt
and
clay
coming
from
from
Iroquois
and
based
on
all
the
studies?
We
have
a
lot
of
stuff
that
are
in
the
six
mile
cool
are
silt
and
clay
just
for
that
one.
There
are
studies
that
show
that
mitigation
strategies
Kankakee
watershed.
Basically,
what
that's
not
mentioned.
W
X
W
Sand
coming
here,
the
better
you
can
manage,
what's
coming
to
you,
also
creating
room
for
the
river
meaning
that,
as
that
breeding
room,
having
the
additional
storage
that
can
be
accessed
by
the
river,
that
is
again
a
a
you
know:
big
benefit
for
the
Illinois
portion
in
terms
of
restoring
transport
capacity
of
some
areas
in
Indiana
or
not
passing
the
sediment
correctly
sediment
coming
moving
to
the
stream
is
a
natural
thing.
It's
always
gonna
happen,
but
we
don't
want
to
see
sludge
of
sediment
coming
down.
W
Constructing
new
storage
areas
along
the
laterals
impacted
river
storage
in
laterals
and
same
thing
has
to
happen
in
Illinois
and
Indiana,
meaning
that
we
have
about
these
laterals.
Up
to
now
we
have
been
sending
so
a
quick,
quick,
let's
go
into
the
main
Kankakee.
Well,
it
goes
someplace
else.
We
need
to
store
some
of
that
and
in
place,
and
probably
addressing
real
and
gully
erosion
around
Iroquois
river
in
Iroquois
way.
We
saw
a
lot
of
erosion
happen
in
some
areas.
W
The
work
plan
in
contains
maps
contains
tables
mild
by
mild
recommendation
along
the
river
in
Indiana
and
Illinois
of
what
to
be
done.
In
this
example
of
some
of
those
maps,
you
see
that
these
are
areas
of
needs.
Extreme
bank
stabilization.
This
is
in
Momence
area
area
that
probably
could
have
an
enhanced
logjam
removal
access,
because
log
jam
do
catch
over
there
so
quickly
other
alternatives
that
was
considered,
but
we
did
not
commend
them
because
we
figured
out
that
it
would
have
adverse
impact.
W
You
need
to
watch
for
this
in
its
area,
I'm
glad
that
you
have
a
good
partner
in
Indiana
there.
They
are
trying
to
minimize
those
impacts,
but
things
change
along
the
way.
So
you
have
to
be
vigilant
looking
at
those,
so
you
don't
get
any
of
these
things.
Dredging
in
Kankakee
and
Yellow
River
is
negatively
impacts.
W
Other
people
and
doesn't
solve
the
problem
modification
to
control
section
down
Stephen
moments
may
help
the
people
upstream
of
moments,
but
but
all
transfers
the
problem
down
down
and
you
can
take
it
that
what
to
do
more,
converting
verbs
modification
of
converting
burbs
of
flood
control,
levees,
making
them
larger
clearing
trees
from
banks,
speeds
up
the
water
coming
down.
We
have
to
be
careful
about
that
increasing
tile
drainage
to
reduce
from
flooding.
W
We
cannot
do
that
without
compensation,
construct
the
improvement
of
ditches
and
increased
flooding
and
firm
improvements
along
the
tributaries,
all
the
things
that
we
did
not
recommend,
and
so
we
have
reasons
and
the
work
plan
talks
about
why
we
did
not
recommend
them.
So
a
couple
of
implementation
considerations.
W
There
is
absolutely
a
need
for
sustainable
funding,
I'm
glad
that
the
the
thinking
about
expanding
the
Conservancy
District,
because
some
of
these
proposed
solutions
do
need
finding
Indiana
has
put
together
funding
Illinois
needs
to
do
same
need
for
continuing
education.
Some
of
the
things
we
are
talking.
Many
of
these
strategies
are
talking
about
adaptation,
things
that
are
not
as
familiar
for
everybody
I
think
it's
continued.
W
Education
may
be
helpful
to
remind
stakeholders
that
this
is
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
and
also
need
for
continued
participation
representation,
which
is
happening
more
to
ensure
that
recommended
work,
plan.
Components
in
Indiana
are
implemented
correctly
and,
secondly,
to
learn
about
and
been
against
any
kind
of
negative
the
impact,
any
suggestions
that
would
negatively
impact
you.
So
those
are
important.
My
last
slide,
if
you
take
about
notes
most
of
the
problems
that
you're
faced
along
the
streams
in
Midwest
Indiana
Illinois,
are
flooding
erosion
and
stream
stability
and
sediment
aggregation
in
the
streams
oftentimes.
W
The
root
causes
of
these
are
in
the
watershed
rat
and
the
stream
itself.
What
is
coming
from
the
watershed
is
impacting
us
that
means
increased
flow
due
to
climate
change,
increase
flow
due
to
those
unwise,
Urban,
Development
and
increase
in
flow
due
to
farmers
or
drainage
boards
response
to
increased
runoff.
W
Sometimes
also,
we
see
some
of
those
misses
steps.
They
are
trying
to
fix
some
problem.
One
location
gets
transfers
their
problems
to
elsewhere.
So
again,
those
are
reasons
for
these
things.
So,
given
this
changing
climate,
we
have
to
resort
to
adaptation
and
mitigation
with
no
adverse
impact
adopt
some
of
those
smart
growth
resilience,
strategies
that
are
in
our
resilience
plans
and
also
look
for
sustainable
funding.
So
sorry
for
hearing
up
but
I'm
sure
I
know
that
your
your
schedule
is
very
tight,
so
I
try
to
give
you
a
summary.
A
This
is
for
the
board.
Is
there
any
any
immediate
questions?
No,
that
the
the
links
for
this
full
work
plan.
All
the
documents
really
extensive
mapping
is
all
now
on
our
website.
Others
links
on
there,
so
it
also
links
to
the
Kankakee
and
yellow
ribbon
base
and
development
Commission's
website
as
well.
A
So
you
can
see
they
try
to
keep
up
with,
if
you're
interested
by
River
what
they're
doing
over
there,
because
the
hope
is-
is
that,
while
this
is
not
our
plan
to
execute,
it
would
be
our
Conservancy
District
if
they
expand
all
the
way
through
the
Kankakee
River.
The
hope
is,
is
that
they
would
adopt.
This
is
their
guideposts
as
the
yellow
ribbon
Kankakee
and
Yellow
River
Basin
Commission
is
done
as
well.

You
can
I
get
a
motion
to
combine
and
accept
the
reports
as
presented
mr.
feather
Ling.
Second,
mr.
Snipes,
that's
a
voice
vote.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
same
sign.
The
few
poems
motion
carries
do
something
a
little
different
as
we
promised
a
kind
of
a
state
of
the
county.
Thing
I'd
asked
the
committee
chair
people
who
to
talk
briefly
about
some
things
that
went
on
within
their
committees
during
the
year
and
maybe
discuss
some
challenges
that
they
see
upcoming.
So
we
with
you
know
it's
gonna
be
a
long
night.
A
Y
Welcome
to
you
all
my
name
is
George
Washington
Jr
I
am
the
chairman
of
the
building
the
Highland
buildings
committee.
Tonight
I
will
try
to
give
you
a
picture
of
how
the
many
committees
function
in
operating
of
the
county
I
serve
as
chairman
of
the
highway
and
building
committee.
Highway
department
is
headed
by
our
highway
engineer,
mark
Rogers
and
that
capacity
mark
works
with
all
of
the
Township
controller
commissioners
and
setting
up
bids
and
issuing
such
a
bit.
Y
Contentious
bidders
upon
the
return
of
those
bids
mark
brings
them
to
the
next
time
a
and
baling
building
committee
meeting
or
opening
with
at
many
of
the
road
commissioners
present
for
that
test.
Approval
as
possible
after
and
before
the
release
of
the
bids,
the
lowest
responsible,
bidder,
mark
and
staff
go
over
the
final
numbers
for
verification.
Y
Mark
then
sees
to
the
timing
and
ordering
of
materials
for
each
bidding
job,
including
County
highways
and
bridges
upon
the
completion
of
those.
Those
mark.
Lengths
of
pay
estimate
to
the
committee
for
approval,
headed
by
West
Andrews,
is
the
building's
committee.
Buildings
grew.
Although
Wes
is
new
to
the
county,
he
succeeds
a
head
of
building
and
grounds
that
did
excellent
work.
Maintaining
all
the
city
buildings
Wes
has
shown
that
he
and
he
can
and
has
carried
throughout
with
the
same
excellence
of
work.
Y
Y
Y
Various
instrumental
activities
in
inserting
the
new
lot
system,
both
at
the
at
180
90s
Court,
also
add
your
own
call
center.
He
regularly
researches
replacements
items
for
our
air
handling
systems
and
all
other
items
pertaining
to
maintaining
of
all
the
buildings
under
his
responsibility
and
the
county.
Just
as
an
offshoot
about
the
highway
operations,
we
didn't
know
it,
there's
only
been
a
35%
increase
in
the
motor
fuel
tax
for
all
of
the
state
from.
Y
1929
through
92
2019
35
cent
increase.
That
tells
you
the
difficulty
that
has
grown
in
the
in
its
entirety,
over
maintaining
the
roads,
the
highways
and
roads
throughout
each
county,
motor
fuel
tax
sales,
tax
and
registration
fees
and
diesel.
Fuel
fees
go
to
make
up
a
total
amount
of
funds
that
are
used
to
maintain
our
highways,
but
with
the
increase
in
the
quality
of
operation
of
automobiles
and
trucks,
and
so
on.
That
is
fast
becoming
the
inability
for
the
state
to
provide
more
funding
for
those
roads.
O
You
mr.
chairman
monthly
agenda
of
the
Finance
Committee
includes
regular
reports
from
the
treasurer
the
finance
department,
the
Sheriff's
Department
and
the
auditor's
department.
Sometimes
the
county
administrator
would
give
a
report.
Other
business
may
also
appear
on
the
agenda.
Information
from
these
departments
is
vital
to
the
decisions
committee
is
required
to
make.
As
chairman.
O
O
There
are
many
factors
which
make
a
report
on
the
finances
of
2019
very
positive,
going
through
the
major
financial
decisions,
and
events
of
2019
provides
much
good
news.
Still.
The
year
began
with
some
concern
as
the
federal
government
shutdown
stopped
payments
for
federal
bed
rentals,
while
expenses
for
those
persons
incarcerated
continued,
a
bright
note,
came
as
approval
by
the
Finance
Committee
to
seek
7
million
dollars
in
tax
anticipation
warrants
led
to
learning
that
there
were
large
banks
willing
to
loan
the
county
money
for
the
tax
anticipation
warrants.
O
This
was
an
important
signal
that
those
banks
recognized
improvements
in
the
county's
finances,
while
it
was
not
until
April
that
the
county
received
its
last
payments
for
expenses
that
had
been
occurred
during
the
shutdown
County
reserves
were
large
enough
not
to
need
the
full
amount
of
the
ta
WS
t
aw
s
actually
issued
were
for
only
2.5
million
the
same
amount
as
the
previous
year.
Those
ta
WS
came
from
local
banks,
People's
Bank
to
Homestar
Bay.
A
second
positive
came
when
the
county
was
able
to
repay
those
ta
WS
early
saving,
almost
$10,000
in
interest.
O
The
second
concern
early
of
the
year
came
as
the
need
a
speculum,
the
County
Administrator
reported
on
the
impact
of
the
new
$15
an
hour
minimum
wage
law.
It
will
research,
spreadsheet,
showed
the
committee
and
the
public
of
the
new
law
would
have
limited
impact
for
a
couple
of
years.
However,
in
the
years
after
that,
we
start
to
require
very
large
increases
in
expenses
for
wages.
O
O
O
C
O
At
the
end
of
this
year,
November
will,
with
a
positive
balance
of
almost
1.5
million
fund,
balance
for
all
three
funds
will
improve
to
a
positive
four
point:
eight
million.
This
is
a
3.6
million
improvement
for
that
year.
In
the
span
of
two
years,
we've
seen
a
6.2
million
positive
change
in
front
balance.
All
of
this
occurred
while
repaying
the
county
highway
department,
1.5
million
interfund
borrowing,
a
major
recognition
of
improving
finances,
came
in
September
when
our
bond
rating
agency
upgraded
our
rating
from
ba
3
to
be
a
2.
O
In
addition,
the
agency
upgraded
our
outlook
from
stable
to
positive
much
of
this
improvement
as
a
result
of
increased
revenue
from
such
sources
of
contract,
with
federal
marshals
for
money
received
from
an
agreement
ending
our
partial
ownership
of
the
juvenile
detention
center
in
Wolfe
County,
but
there
were
also
managerial
changes
that
have
resulted
in
either
savings
or
increased
productivity
example.
In
August
committee
approved
a
new
credit
card
system
to
start
the
December
1st
2019,
with
a
zero
percent
Interest
option.
Another
example
is
the
work
done
to
keep
health
insurance
costs
at
a
minimum.
O
One
decision
of
the
Finance
Committee
this
year
was
to
improve
to
upper
only
a
new
fiscal
policy
and
procedures
manual.
This
recommendation
is
before
the
full
board
tonight.
Development
of
this
manual
was
the
result
of
the
auditors.
References
to
the
duties
of
his
office
as
prescribed
by
state
law.
Vagueness
in
the
state
statute
led
to
a
request
to
the
Attorney
General
for
definition
of
accounting.
O
The
Attorney
General
after
many
months
responded
by
stating
the
county
needed
to
make
the
determination
of
the
definition
of
accounting.
A
careful
process
began
to
create
a
manual
that
will
obey
state
law,
while
ensuring
the
requirements
of
federal
accounting
standards
for
grants
were
fulfilled.
Clearly,
significant
revenue
is
received
by
the
county
from
federal
grants.
This
revenue
includes
not
only
the
US
federal
marshals
contract
but
grants
for
transportation
for
the
courts
and
for
several
other
departments
to
ensure
a
proper
audit.
O
The
new
manual
could
not
be
implemented
until
December
1st
2019
at
the
start
of
a
new
fiscal
year
months
of
research
and
work
done
at
the
finance
director
and
the
County
Administrator,
and
preparing
recommendations
to
the
committee.
At
its
October
meeting,
the
Finance
Committee
recommended
this
new
manual
to
a
full
count
board.
The
board
will
vote
on
that
document
tonight.
This
document
will
obey
State
statute,
while
ensuring
federal
counting
standards
for
grants
are
maintained
in
the
short
term,
this
year's
decisions
leave
the
county
in
excellent
shape
the
budget
for
next
year.
O
Fiscal
20
is
balanced
at
36
million
four
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
thirty
nine
dollars.
This
will
mean
an
estimated
three
million
three
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
three
dollars
in
the
general
fund
fund
balance
for
the
three
major
county
funds.
The
fund
balance
will
be
seven
million,
fifty-five
thousand
five
hundred
and
seventy
one
dollars.
There
is
a
good
chance.
The
county
will
not
need
any
tax
anticipation
warrants
for
fiscal
year.
Twenty
five
ance
director,
however,
did
share
with
the
finance
committee
a
long-term
projection
through
the
year
2024.
O
Z
Good
evening,
every
want
to
try
to
get
this
going
here,
so
we
can
yeah
I
want
to
start
out
I'm
the
chairman
of
PCA,
which
is
that's
the
short
expression
we
use
kind
of
slang,
around
airplanes.
Only
agricultural
committee.
We
handle
all
the
cases
from
the
CPAs
only
Board
of
Appeals,
which
I
was
on
for
15
years.
We
take
two
cases
from
that.
Z
We
just
discuss
them
at
the
county
board
level
and
we
recommend
they
should
make
a
recommendation
in
the
county
board
what
we
decided
at
our
meetings
at
that
particular
time,
so
I'm
going
to
start
with
some
planning
accomplishments
this
year
and
let
you
know
what
we
have
doing.
We
had
that
hazard
mitigation
plan,
which
is
updated,
the
county
hazard
mitigation
plan
to
help
for
the
without
from
Regional
Planning
Commission
as
a
written
task
force.
It's
not
fully
approved,
but
most
of
the
work
is
done.
Our
planning
objects,
the
objectives
and
the
projects.
Z
Z
We
never
know
what's
coming
around,
so
it's
like
a
few
years
ago,
if
you
would
have
said
we
were
going
to
have
40
wind
farms
and
zba
meetings
and
we
are
going
to
have
not
went
funds
and
made
solar
farms
and
we're
going
to
have
to
win
fire
boots
coming
into
the
county,
possibly
in
short
term.
It's
really
hard
to
keep
up
it's
hard
for
mr.
skimmer
Hornet
when
you
keep
up
with
what's
going
on,
but
he
really
stays
on
top
of
everything.
Z
Also,
in
the
planning
we
have
the
census
coming
up,
it
will
be
reviewed
and
just
you
know,
take
care
of
that
and
be
incorporated
as
future
plans
are
considered
for
the
county,
and
it
has
a
lot
to
do.
It's
only
changes
and
it's
filling
in
and
things
and
probably
it
doesn't
interest
many
people
comprehensive.
An
economic
strategy
update
is
due
every
five
years
and
will
be
updated
in
2020.
Z
You
know,
do
are
some
of
the
things
we
started
out.
I
started
out
with
my
first
meeting
at
the
PGA.
I
was
the
chairman
of
the
PGA,
which
is
kind
of
unusual
for
me.
I
work
with
the
zoning
staff
on
some
things
that
really
stood
out
in
my
mind
and
that's
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
here
for
a
couple
of
minutes,
the
Agri
tourism
ordinance
came
out
with
his
only
Board
of
Appeals.
I
actually
was
chairman
at
that
meeting,
took
care
of
that
case
and
then
I
came
to
PGA
and
I
was
chairman.
Z
There
do
it
there.
It
was
a
nice
situation
for
me,
but
I
really
thought
that
was
an
important
part
of
our
County
is
bringing
the
youth
and
the
college.
Students
and
people
want
to
go
out
to
dinner.
We
have
some
places
where
you
can
go
eat
on
a
farm
and
people
open
up
their
farms
to
the
community,
and
but
people
come
in
all
the
time.
So
we
made
it
ordinances.
We
put
ordinances
in
place
to
make
it
easier
for
them
to
fall
into
a
category.
Z
Z
A
few
of
the
farmers
in
the
area
have
already
been
kind
of
doing
that
with
their
equipment
and
opened
up
their
farms
and
there's
slow
time
of
the
year,
so
they
can
show
kids
and
people
what's
going
on
currently
right
now
we're
in
the
process
of
reviewing
and
updating
the
ordinance
for
the
wind
farms.
We
had
some
presentations
by
a
couple
of
different
companies
to.
Let
us
know
about
the
different
changes
in
the
industry
and
our
ordinance
was
written
ten
years
ago
by
mr.
Z
Z
C
Z
They're
talking
about
going
up
to
600
feet
to
the
top
of
the
tips
of
the
blades
with
the
newer
equipment
that
they
have,
they
have
generators
that
produce
two
or
three
times
the
power
that
they
did
when
they
built
the
wind
farm
south
of
here
in
Fort
County
and
coming
in
Kankakee
County,
so
they're.
Its
explanation
is,
we
need
to
have
them
higher
and
we're
gonna
have
less
of
them
to
create
the
same
amount
of
power,
which
is
a
great
idea,
but
we're
still
working
on
that
at
pza.
But
that's
something
else.
Z
Z
There's
quite
a
bit
of
a
review
process
by
staff
goes
to
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
for
public
hearings,
they're
all
the
places
where
we
usually
hold
them
in
larger
places.
So
we
can.
We
had
him
at
her
sure.
We've
hadn't
been
up
here,
not
actually
on
this
stage
right
here
we
had
one.
So
we
have
to
go
places
where
more
people
can
come
and
be
heard.
That's
the
public
hearing,
part
of
there's
only.
Z
The
text
amendments
and
there's
only
Gordon
is
coming
up
for
220,
there's
quite
a
few
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
be
changed
and
adjusted
and
they'll
be
coming
down.
The
pipe
I
call
it
TVA
to
the
County
Board
whenever
mr.
skimmer
horn
sees
things
that
he
thinks
and
he
feels
as
though
we
need
to
address.
We
address
them
as
promptly
and
quickly
as
possible.
Okay,
we're
now
I'm
gonna
go
talk
about
some
building
accomplishments,
so
we
had
commercial
permits.
Z
Non-Commercial
permits
were
also
seeing
the
really
gathering
speed
with
the
economy,
need
economy
gets
better,
people
spend
more
money
on
their
properties
and
so
we're
a
640
for
permits
issued
for
non-commercial.
That's
that's
a
lot
of
projects
without
within
the
county.
The
number
of
permits
issued
is
slightly
below
average,
but
the
general
revenue
created
by
them
is
above
average,
and
we
still
have
three
months
to
go
into
nineteen
in
building
Department.
There
are
eight
community
solar
farms,
one
utility
solar
farm
being
proposed
for
Kankakee
County
they've,
already
applied
for
their
special
use
permits.
Z
We've
already
heard
the
public
hearings
they've
already
been
presented
to
the
County
Board
and
approved
now.
They're,
just
gonna
be
getting
their
building
permits
and
that's
gonna
cause
a
lot
of
work
over
there
to
building
apartment
with
them,
and
the
only
thing
that
concerns
me
about
that
type
of
thing,
as
I
believe
they're,
probably
all
going
to
come
in
at
the
same
time.
Z
So
they
can
build
them
in
the
summer
next
year,
when
we
heard
all
the
cases
that
there's
only
Board
of
Appeals,
they
were
all
set
for
their
drawing,
they
had
to
drawing
the
8.
Does
it
parties
were
selected
and
then
we
went
throughout
the
county
and
we
know
where
they're
going
to
be
known
anything.
So
whenever
we
talked
with
him,
they
always
seemed
like
they
were
planning
on
next
summer.
Z
The
county
received
a
grant
which
is
interested
in
me
from
the
Department
of
Natural
Resources
to
purchase
for
structures
on
the
Kankakee
River
floodplain.
The
properties
have
been
damaged
several
times.
We
purchased
one
along
interstate,
57,
I'm
sure
people
know
the
red
house
that
was
right
next
to
the
highway
there,
that
always
flooded
that
we
had
to
demolished
and
removed
and
graded
the
lot
out
to
absorb
some
water
and
stand
in
its
natural
flooding
State
there.
It
could
become
usable
properties
for
people
a
lot
around
on
and
enjoy
so,
but
there's
four
more
properties.
Z
We're
going
to
be
doing
that.
I.
Don't
know
this
for
sure
all
this
year
or
whether
it's
going
to
take
some
time,
but
we
will
be
reimbursed
as
we
go
along
the
way
we
take
when
we
tear
them
down.
We
take
them
all
the
way
down
to
the
foundation
down
to
the
dirt,
to
the
ground,
it's
great
it
all
out
and
it
becomes
a
natural
habitat
with
the
trees
that
were
there
and
everything
to
keep
the
river
flowing
and
absorb
a
little
bit
of
stuff.
Z
And
then
I
talk
about
the
GIS
for
a
minute.
This
chia
staff
is
working
with
the
Census
Bureau
there
they
come
in
and
they
go
over
the
maps
and
the
GIS
staff
works
with
them.
So
we
get
an
accurate
census
and
where
people
are
it's,
it's
pretty
important
to
the
census
to
know
where
people
do
that,
and
you
know
where
they
belong.
So
we're
going
to
see
how
that
goes.
The
gix
objectives
and
projects
coming
up
is
the
arrow
photography.
We
talked
about
that
a
couple
meetings
ago.
Z
It's
probably
going
to
include
OB,
oblique
imagery
and
it
will
be
gathered
and
it's
expected
to
be
available
to
the
public
by
mid-summer.
220,
that's
a
major
thing
for
that
project
and
the
gif
staffs
will
be
tasked
with
creating
distribution
of
new
data,
boundary
maps
and
update
our
system,
but
new
information,
as
assessment
census
comes
in
and
the
numbers
progress,
and
then
our
staff
will
continue
to
work
with
the
9-1-1
system
to
obtain,
implement,
maintain
the
end
new
ng
911
system
for
the
cop.
AB
14
County
Board
members
of
the
Community
Services
Committee
realized
that
the
committee's
focus
is
all
about
you,
your
records
of
birth,
marriage,
passport
voting
and
your
death.
Your
pappad
properties
assessed
value,
your
legal
ownership,
records
of
your
property
and
your
pet,
and
your
public
welfare
and
safety,
as
illustrated
by
these
five
areas.
AB
The
smoothness
and
accuracy
is
so
important
in
continuing
service
on
the
united
states
census
committee.
Secondly,
county
assessor,
Eric,
Blair
and
his
staff
are
on
track
to
complete
the
assessment
cycle
on
time.
For
the
fifth
consecutive
year,
they've
scanned
some
property
record
cards
to
improve
the
Deaf
net
system
so
that
any
property
you
own
is
correctly
evaluated
and
assessed,
and
not
only
that,
but
there's
an
efficient
process
in
place
for
appealing
that
assessment
report.
AB
His
key
and
his
staffs
goal
is
to
maintain
that
timely
assessment
cycle
and
work
with
technology
so
that
you'll
have
access
to
the
data
yourself.
Third
area
is
County,
Recorder,
Laurie,
guideway
and
her
staff.
They
main
maintain
the
safety
and
accuracy
of
your
property
ownership,
history
and
current
records,
and
importantly,
guard
against
fraud
relative
to
your
property
records.
They
have
digitized
the
grant
or
grantee
books
representing
them
on
paper
that
will
last
100
years
and
they
have
seven
books
done
already.
It's
a
five-year
project
that
they're
continuing.
AB
They
also
are
imaging
the
books
in
their
offices.
They've
started
with
1987
that
have
come
to
current
and
they're
now
on
1986
going
backwards.
Their
goals
for
the
next
year
is
this
five-year
project
of
digitizing
and
imaging,
but
her
staff
would
like
to
have
50
years
on
the
computer
and,
as
they
finish
the
program,
it
is
their
goal
in
the
recorders
office
to
know
that
whoever
comes
to
use
their
services
is
comfortable
and
finds
exactly
what
they're
looking
for.
AB
Fourth,
animal
control,
director,
Julie
Boudreau
and
her
staffs
goals
are
to
provide
public
safety,
bite,
investigation
and
Prevention
and
animal
welfare.
She
says
since
last
December
the
animal
control
officers
have
investigated
three
hundred
and
fifty-one
animal
bites
and
exposure
cases
and
from
those
351
issued
315
citations
for
non-compliance.
AB
Along
with
that,
they
investigated
1142
incidents
avoid
about
animals,
they
have
upgraded
their
technology,
so
the
public
has
better
access
to
your
records
and
what
is
on
their
record
and
since
training
and
ongoing
education
is
vital
to
their
department.
They're,
dedicated
officers
and
shelter
manager
have
attended
numerous
workshops
and
training
events,
including
emergency
animal
management,
preparedness
for
animals
in
disaster
situations
and
equine
cruelty,
investigation
and,
finally,
chairman
of
animal
will
welfare
Advisory,
Committee,
tinkerer
Parker
and
her
committee
members
strive
to
promote
and
encourage
the
safety
and
humane
treatment
of
all
animals
and
particularly
pets.
AB
The
committee
has
recommended
the
approval
of
an
ordinance
prohibiting
the
sale
of
dogs,
cats,
puppies
and
kittens
at
the
local
swap
meet,
as
recommended
in
ordinance
change
relative
to
inhumane
and
cruel
treatment
of
animals,
and
has
proposed
an
amendment
to
the
ordinance
on
reckless
dog
owners.
The
committee
will
collaborate
with
Kankakee
County,
Sheriff's
Office
and
the
new
Animal
Control
administrator
as
the
County
Animal
Control
transitions
to
work
together
with
County

for
the

the
safety
of
both
the
animals

The
first
department
is
the
Judicial
Department.
It's
under
the
direction
of
Chief
Judge
Michael
Kramer
on
June
12,
2009
teen
junk
river
advised
the
committee
that
the
current
public
defender
will
be
retiring.
As
of
September
1st
2019,
he
said
due
to
the
increase
in
cases
he
will
be
filling
the
vacancy
with
a
full-time
public
defender.
The
state
of
Illinois
will
cover
approximately
two-thirds
of
the
salary
of
the
new
position.
AC
AC
AC
Therefore,
the
department
had
had
no
obligation
to
be
in
the
office
on
any
given
day,
meaning
he
was
not
always
present
as

this
potentially
just
potentially
created
to

judiciary,
as
well
as
other
county
offices
transition
to
full
time
assistant
public
defenders,
one
full-time
public
or
one
full-time
assistant
is
more
productive
than
two
part-time
positions.
It
makes
it
more
available
to
the
clients,
judiciary
and
other
entities
eight
hours
a
day
five
days
a
week.
AC
This
availability
means
quicker
resolution
to
cases
expediting
cases
through
the
NT,
increased
client
contact
and
increased
availability
with
State's
Attorney's
Office.
It's
anticipated
that
the
current
backlog
of
cases
can
be
decreased,
increased
accountability.
The
creation
of
a
full-time
public
defender
as
well
as
full-time
assistance,
creates
an
increase
in
accountability,
specialty
courts.
The
county
has
been
at
the
forefront
undressing
these
issues.
The
drug
court
program
has
been
in
place
since
1995.
There
is
a
domestic
violence
court,
a
Veterans
Court
that
provides
counseling
as
opposed
to
incarceration.
AC
Next
is
the
circuit
clerk's
office,
headed
by
sandy
Cianci,
as
of
now
due
to
budget
restraints
and
nutrition,
that
the
circuit
clerk's
office
is
now
staffed
with
35
full-time
and
two
part-time
employees
down
from
50.
From
fifty
years
ago,
the
traffic
and
criminal
Assessment
Act
became
effective
on
July
1st
2019,
which
completely
reestablished
the
fine
and
fee
structure
for
all
civil
traffic
and
criminal
cases.
While
these
challenges
have
been
great,
they
have
been,
they
have
adjusted
and
concrete,
sell.
The
work
I

is
a
slow
process

is
still
moving
forward.
AC
A
meeting
will
be
scheduled
with
the
administrative
office
of
the
Illinois
courts,
court
view
and
tyler

about
finalizing

for
filing

The
next
step
will
be
for
criminal
cases.
July
1st
2019
misdemeanor
cases
were
reassigned
to
the
traffic
call,
which
is
already
one
of
the
largest

If

a

clerk
could
be
assigned
to
the
Traffic
Division
to
assist

in
keep
him
up
with
a
demand.
AC
They
were
working
hard
on
the
backlog
of
cases.
The
court
calls
were
changed
by
the
judiciary
to
accommodate
increases
in
the
felony
courtrooms,
which
brings
us
to
the
state's
attorney
mr.
Jim
Rowley
state's
attorney's
office
has
charged
over
820
felonies
to
our
grand
jury
in
2019.
There
are
three
remaining
grand
jury
proceedings
scheduled
for
this
year.
The
final
number
of
felony
projected
to
close
at
1,000
for
2019.
AC
This
is
among
the
largest
of
felony
crimes
charged
in
Kankakee
County
and
nearly
in
clearly
30
years.
Since
it
had
been
tracked,
the
state's
attorney
felony
caseload
has
nearly
doubled
since
2016
to
the
state's
attorney
non-bio
defender
program.
We
have
diverted
274,
first-time
nonviolent
offenders
out
of
the
criminal
justice
system,
so
they
could
make
restitution
in
their
community
and
avoid
felony
conviction
on
their
background
at
no
cost
to
the
taxpayers.

into
every
school
in
the
county.
In
the
partnership
with
a
circuit
clerk's
office,
we
have
they
assisted
in
excess
of
1000
individuals
in
our
community
to
obtain
expungement
and
or
sealing
of
their
criminal
background.
AC
This
empowers
them
to
in
pain,
employment,
housing,
and/or
tuition
assistance,
so
they
could
return
to
being
a
productive
member
of

Over

we
served

are
on
pace
to
match
that
number
in

We
have
also
obtained
funds
to
occasionally
provide
relocation,
transportation
and
temporary
housing

otherwise
be
unable

complete
over

The

management
provided
by

department
includes
all
specialty
courts
such
as

The
probation
department
receives
salary
reimbursement
from
the
state
for
all
its

the

was
increased
significantly
by

2019
for
the
first
time,
and
Department
salaries
are
fully
funded
by

As
a
result
of
the
increased
funding,
the
department
has
developed
a
pretrial
supervision
unit.

This
unit
will
provide
the

daily
with

reports
to
assist

Earlier
this
year,
sheriff
Donnie
was
able
to
negotiate
and
obtain
a
four-year
extension
of
the
contract
with
the
US
Marshal
Service.
It's
happy
to
announce
that,
after
a
few
years
of
budget
restraints,
the
fleet
of
vehicles
are
now
back
up
to
date.
If
we
can
stay
on
that
schedule
of
new
purchases,
it
will
help
cut
the
maintenance
cost.
Just
last
year
we
spent
around
one
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
on
maintenance,
which
would
mean
three
new
vehicles
with
staffing
levels
back
up
to
49.
AC
It
shows
an
increase
in
the
presence
of
on
the
street
and
has
made
a
response
time
for
emergencies
much
quicker.
The
board
has
also
made
resources
available
to
read,
be
able
to
retain
accreditation
to
the
MCC
8xi,
which
I
had
to
ask
him,
which
means
the
National
Commission
of
Corrections
health
care,
along
with
the
increased
and
staffing
and
based
on
cost,
that
he
approved
by
the
board
and
increased
fees
resulted
in
more
revenue.
AC
At
crown,
he
coordinates
with
the
local
police
departments,
the
ambulance,
crew,
the
Sheriff's
Department,
the
State
Police.
It
is
something
you
know
it's
coming
up
and
made
prime
time
it's
something
he'll
be
starting,
probably
in
the
middle
of
April.
Something
like
that.
You
should
go
see
that
technology
technology
advance
continued
use
of
iPads
laptops,
cloud-based
services,
just
to
streamline
report
writing
process
and
offense
efficiency.
All

to
the
current
are
now
computerized.
AC
A
A
The
pike
in
the
capital
bill
I
will
say
that
we
worked
in
lockstep
with
with
representative
Parkers
and
the
successful
effort
and
everyone
on
either
side
of
that
discussion
will
admit
you
need
each
other.
We
got
that
permit
and
there
is
the
entrance
that's
being
constructed
if
you've
driven
it's
close.
A
That
will
relieve
a
lot
of
pressure,
but
then
people
don't
really
realize
that
we
took
an
unfunded
own
engineered
upgrade
for
the
intersection
around
50
and
armored
Road
from
a
concept
to
a
fiscally
constrained
project
that
exists
in
the
capital
bill,
which
does
a
lot,
but
we
did
in
eight
months.
That's
unheard
of
that
never
happens
where
Bernie
Parkway
took
twenty
some
years.
I
mean
this.
It
just
doesn't
happen
like
this
and
we
did
it
together,
but
we
needed
assistance.
A
You
know
you
have
to
be
able
to
access
those
people
that
control
the
wallet,
so
I
will
be
asking
for
reauthorization
of
that
next
year.
Just
as
a
to
let
you
know,
because
we
need
workforce
money,
we
we
have
other
needs.
We
need
River
money,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
want
to
continue
with
in
this
area
that
are
beyond
our
checkbook
capabilities.
So
we
we
have
forced
a
smoke.
Free
Illinois
act,
moving
the
smoking
areas
away
from
the
public.
First
time
we
declared
an
agricultural
disaster
area.
A
A
Maybe
the
tail
might
have
wag
the
dog
a
little
bit
on
that
one,
because
some
people
came
to
help
on
a
state
level
and
help
our
farmers,
which
was
the
ultimate
goal,
and
then,
in
my
opinion,
we
reappointed
the
best
supervisor
of
assessments
the
county
has
ever
had.
That
would
be
Eric
Blair
he's
right
over
there
and
he
I
can't
understatement.
A
I
can't
understate
what
he
has
meant
to
this
county
and
also
what
he's
meant
to
a
lot
of
Assessors
around
the
state
of
Illinois.
When
you
start
looking
at
how
these
solar
farms
and
wind
farms
are
assessed
in
these
different
types,
he's
really
involved
in
the
state
level
and
a
seen
as
a
leader
in
there,
so
we're
lucky
to
have
him
here
and
I'm
sure
he's
probably
gonna
want
to
pay
increase
now
so
well.
We
took
care
of
that.
A
Actually,
this
year
too,
so
some
of
some
challenges
we
have
with
an
outdated
and
costly
computer
system
for
the
courts
that
we're
still
paying
on
a
bond.
It
is
an
albatross
around
our
operations
there.
Anybody
that
works.
There
will
be
able
to
tell
you
that
we
have
space
needs
that
our
criminal
justice
buildings
and
that's
mainly
the
courthouse-
we
have
expense
creep.
As
other
people
have
mentioned,
we
gain
expenses
by
six
to
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
just
by
breathing.
A
Basically,
you
have
labor
contracts
and
the
cost
of
electricity
and
insurance,
and
all
that
goes
up.
That's
just
the
start
of
the
year.
You
know
what's
going
to
happen,
and
then
I
did
want
to
mention
that
from
2015
to
now
the
cash
that
we
have
on
November
30th
is
improved
by
8.2
million
dollars.
We
had
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
bank
as
of
November
30th
2015,
that's
right
before
that
that
last
budget
year
I
just
want
to
give
some
comparison.
600
grand
is
really
nothing
in
the
terms
of
government.
A
It
was
that's
like
the
lights
are
almost
off
in.
In
reality,
our
ta
W
is.
We
went
from
4
million
in
15.
Now
we're
not
looking
like
we're
going
to
need
loans.
The
Interphone
borrowing
has
been
taken
reduced
by
five
point:
five,
eight
million
dollars,
and
next
year
we're
probably
going
to
wipe
away
another
1.9
million
that'll
leave
us
roughly
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
left
in
the
interfund
borrowing,
which
is
normal.
You
know
people
do
that
they
take
as
I
say,
from
the
vacation
fund
to
pay
the
water
bill.
A
That's
normally
government
when
you're
not
taking
tax
revenue.
Our
accounts
payable
has
been
reduced
by
two
point:
five:
nine
million
dollars
since
2015
I
mean
that's,
that's
our
30-day
number.
It's
amazing
general
fund
balances,
this
Steve
mentioned
was
six
point:
two
million
dollar
turnaround
and
general
fund
balance
and
then
we're
total
fund
balances
of
nine
point.
Three
seven
we
thought
this
was
generational
will
be
worked
on
this
stuff
back
about
three
and
a
half
years
ago.
Four
years
ago
you
know,
if
you
put
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
good.
It's
gonna.
A
Take
you
a
while
to
not
have
to
borrow
money
from
yourself
and
anybody
else
will
give
it
to
you.
So
I
would
like
to
thank
personally
the
department
heads
the
employees,
our
labor
partners.
They
understood
where
we
were
at
and
we
all
work
together
when
we
had
increased
revenue,
we
just
didn't
go,
spend
it.
We
realized
that
we
had
to
get
to
a
place
to
function
really
financially
solid
and
make
good
decisions.

There
a
motion
to
approve
on
the
floor
go
with
Miss
Dunbar
over
here.
I,
keep
forgetting
you
guys
over
there
apology,
mr.
Peyton
I'm.
Sorry
sorry
about
that.
Is
there
any
questions
on
that.
We've
already
heard
a
little
bit
of
a
description
of
public
comment:
alrighty
that'll
be
a
voice
vote.
All
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
and
those
opposed
same
sign,
Hey
alrighty
looks
like
was
that
mr.
heck
off
and
mr.
burr
those
were
the
days
I'm.
Sorry,
mrs.
ooh
cool.
R
A
A
Want
to
make
it
clear
that
the
since
we
have
to
opt
out
the
motion
is
to
restrict
not
to
have
okay.
So
if
there
is
a
motion
be
made
you're
making
a
motion
to
not
have
dispensaries
in
the
county,
it's
a
little
bit
confusing
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear
on
that.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
this
mr.
feather
Ling
and
a
second
from
mr.
Carrick?
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
sorry
about
that
I
knew
I
was
going
to
do
that
I
said
want
to
be
liked.
The
big
show.
A
AE
Will
use
that
microphone
I
want
to
go
on
record.
I
am
morally
against
the
cannabis.
We
have
a
drug
problem
in
Kankakee.
We
have
a
drug
problem.
Opioid
problem
in
Illinois
I
heard
some
good
arguments
tonight
very
good,
but
this
problem
was
not
brought
on
by
Kankakee
County
of
legalizing
marijuana.
This
was
brought
to
this
county
by
the
people
who
are
in
Springfield
those
that
were
elected
and
ran
on
legalizing
marijuana,
so
it
can't
come
back
to
us.
What
we
have
to
do
now
is
how
are
we
going
to
enforce
us?
O
You
mr.
chairman
I'm,
going
to
indicate
my
opposition
to
having
the
marijuana,
so
I
would
be
supporting
the
motion
that
is
here,
and
my
support
comes
from
the
standpoint
that
part
of
the
issue
that
we
have
to
decide
is.
Do
we
want
to
see
this
as
another
source
of
revenue
and
that's
really
kind
of
the
issue
before
us?
But
there
are
real
problems
in
estimating
income
to
the
earth
example.
California
made
a
testament
first
year
they
had
it,
they
get
a
million
dollars.
O
Q
O
T
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
first
of
all,
I
started
I'm
a
parent
to
teens
in
the
manual
I,
don't
smoke
marijuana,
but
one
thing
comes
January.
First,
marijuana,
alcohol,
tabacco,
description,
opioids
and
guns
are
all
legal
in
Illinois,
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
and
there
are
people
who
are
against
alcohol,
but
I
don't
hear
anyone
talking
about
the
dangers.
Alcohol
present
prevent
presents
locally
on
weekends
and
weeknights
from
there's
accidents,
we're
talking
about
a
legal
product
and
as
a
parent.
T
It's
my
job
to
educate
my
children
and
be
there
and
I
don't
smoke
it
they
don't
and
that
marijuana
is
going
to
be
in
the
schools,
whether
we
allow
dispensaries
or
not.
But
it's
about
the
role
of
government
in
regarding
a
legal
product
being
sold
legally
over
heavily
regulated
within
the
state
to
adults
that
wish
to
purchase
it.
This
is
a
government's
role
to
dictate
what
a
person
can
and
cannot
do.
I
know:
we've
talked
about
certain
rights
being
infringed
upon
on
the
board.
Why
are
we
infringing
ourselves
on
that?
Someone's
right?
T
You
may
have
anxiety,
pain
issues
who
don't
have
medicinal
license,
but
wish
to
go
and
go
to
a
heavily
regulated
facility
to
purchase
I
understand
the
arguments
on
both
sides.
I'm
looking
at
I
have
more
of
a
business
side
of
it
will
government's
role
in
the
free
market,
so
I
will
be
supporting
that
we
do
him.
This
pastors.
X
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I,
would
reiterate
mr.
burns
comments.
It
just
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
to
say
no
to
a
legal
business
like
this
in
our
county,
we're
just
asking
people
to
spend
their
money
elsewhere.
We're
gonna
have
to
deal
with
the
effects
of
like
a
legalization,
whether
we
are
earning
tax
dollars
from
a
legal
product,
whether
we
have
it
in
our
County
or
not.
We're
still
going
to
be
spending
that
money.
So,
as
I
said,
I
will
not
be
supporting
the
ordinance
and.
Q
I
am
going
to
support
the
prohibition.
I
believe
that
we
do
need
to
stand
up
with
our
youth.
The
panacea
for
all
government
fields
is
not
the
legalization
of
drugs.
In
this
case
marijuana.
If
we're
going
to
get
into
this
business,
we
may
as
well
start
legalizing
prostitution
and
collecting
the
tax
on
it.
Some
things
are
just
totally
immoral
in
either
case
now
the
government
either
becomes
a
push
or
pimp.
AD
Q
Q
AD
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman,
one
of
the
things
that
I
keep
hearing
from
some
of
my
fellow
board
members.
We
can't
turn
away
the
money
well
in
looking
at
the
state
of
Illinois
proposed
distribution
centers
originally
when
they
came
out,
kakie
County
wasn't
even
in
the
running
now.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
our
legislature
got
changed
our
individual
in
Springfield
that
we
hired
to
do
stuff,
but
as
of
a
week
ago,
there's
only
one
license
even
being
proposed
for
Kankakee
County
as
a
whole.
AD
AD
Put
if
there's
going
to
be
one
and
you're
all
that
concerned
about
a
paltry
tax
revenue
that
I've
heard
statistics
bounced
around
here,
which
mirror
what
I'm
been
reading
to.
If
we
saw
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
revenue
come
in
in
the
county's
portion,
that
is
three
and
a
half
percent.
You
know
you
guys
do
the
math,
it
ain't
worth
the
issue,
put
it
in
one
of
the
metropolitan
areas.
AD
AD
Y
Here
many
things
that
are
being
stated
tonight
about
being
Christian,
and
so
am
I,
but
I
also
believe
that
it's
incumbent
upon
parentage
to
make
sure
that
their
children
are
not
participating
or
that
they're
taught
and
trained
not
to
participate.
I
watched
for
many
many
years
and
as
attendance
in
churches
and
organizations
of
discipline
have
gone
down
from
the
youth
has
gone
down.
These
incidents
and
situations
with
youth
being
pawns
and
being
involved
in
in
different
types
of
drugs
has
gone
up
now.
I
am
NOT.
Y
A
big
proponent,
I
have
never
used
marijuana
and
matter
of
fact,
when
I
was
a
kid,
I
found
this
that
someone
had
and
burned
it
up,
but
we
may
have
well
look
at
it
in
terms
of
no
matter
what
the
paltry
sum
is.
There
were
a
few
years
and
I've
been
here
33
years
there
was
some
real
for
years
that
we've
had
that.
That
paltry
sum
would
have
made
a
significant
difference
in
our
funding
that
we
had
to
borrow,
sneak
and
cheat
in
any
kind
of
way.
AF
So
I
know
I
spoke
my
opinion
at
the
last
meeting
and
and
I'm,
of
course,
not
in
favor
of
having
dispensaries.
Most
of
that
is
based
on
facts
from
sources
like
the
CDC
and
the
DEA.
On
top
of
my
30
years
of
experience
being
behavior,
health,
professional
cannabis
use,
disorder
is
just
that
it's
a
diagnosable
disorder
people
become
addicted.
It's
something
that
that
as
a
behavioral
health,
professional,
we
we
do
diagnose.
AF
It
affects
your
brain.
People
can
exhibit
psychosis
and
symptoms
of
hallucinations
paranoia
and
anxiety.
It
exacerbates
other
mental
illnesses.
We
know
that
from
behavior
from
studies
from
data
from
reliable
sources
like
the
CDC
Samsa
and
again
on
top
of
years
and
years
of
experience
and
I,
can't
I
can't
justify
creating
a
problem.
Perpetuating
a
problem
just
to
have
the
money
to
put
back
into
rehab,
so
I
will
be
voting
to
opt.
A
AG
AG
It's
right
there
in
their
face.
So
I
don't
think
it's
fair
to
blame
this
board
when
we're
trying
to
look
at
a
revenue
source
for
the
problems
of
society.
It
wasn't
this
board
who
voted
to
legalize.
It
I've
been
sitting
on
this
board
long
enough
to
watch
two
failed
sales
tax
increases
to
support
our
public
safety
operations
to
I've,
had
to
walk
past
sheriff's
deputies,
picketing
our
board
meetings
and
our
meetings
because
they
were
fearful
for
losing
their
jobs.
I
live
in
a
rural
area,
I
live
in
an
unincorporated
area.
AG
Sheriff's
police
are
vital
in
my
area.
I
live
in
so
a
one
cop
shop.
Do
you
call
it
and
if
something
happens
wrong?
And
you
don't
have
Public
Safety
to
answer
the
call
or
it's
20
minutes,
30
minutes,
it's
a
bad
deal.
So
what
I'm
saying
and
the
only
reason,
I'm
saying
it
for
years-
we've
been
looking
for
another
revenue
source.
This
board
can't
raise
your
property
tax.
We
can't
raise
your
sales
tax.
AG
We
can't
we're
not
a
home
rule
where
we
can
say
well:
everybody's
got
to
get
a
sticker,
here's
another
revenue
source,
that's
not
our
design,
that's
falling
in
our
lap
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
wise
to
turn
a
blind
eye
to
a
sales
tax
that
we
can
get,
which
would
be
a
use
tax.
Now
you
don't
want
it
you
want
to
spend
it,
don't
use
it
I'm,
not,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
smart
financially
to
turn
an
Iowa.
It's
not
the
problems
of
this
board
again
for
what
society
has
driven
at
us.
AG
V
AH
AH
Will
not
have
decisions
driven
by
revenue
I've
been
in
business
for
forty
some
years
have
made
good
decisions
and
bad
decisions,
bad
decisions
generate
and
lose
revenue,
good
decisions
generate
and
make
revenue,
but
you
make
decisions
based
on
facts,
thoughts
and
morality.
I
will
be
supporting
this
resolution.
Thank.
T
You
again,
mr.
chairman
and
Taylor
I
feel
like
Kevin
Bacon.
A
foot
was
talking
crowd.
I
have
a
question
is
what
is
the
projected
revenue
we've
talked
about,
the
revenue.
Has
there
been
a
study
or
any
kind
of
research
done
in
regards
to
potential
one
or
two
dispensaries
since
we're
talking
about
unincorporated
one
or
two
potential,
we're
not
talking
being
inundated,
it's
not
to
be
like
mattress
stores
around
the
unincorporated
King
County,
while.
A
Nobody
has
inquired
with
specifics
to
the
county
about
anything
like
any
locations.
I
have
talked
to
some
of
the
people
in
that
industry
and
they
estimate
between
two
and
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
depending
on,
if
there's
another
location,
if
it's
medical,
if
whatever
there's
lots
of
your
fans
maybes
in
that,
but
that's
that's
the
estimate
if
there
is
one
right
up
in
Will
County.
If
there's
you
know
one
in
Iroquois,
County
I
mean
all
these
are
impacting
factories,
so
there
is
there's
not
a
number
there
to
command.
AE
Thank
you,
I
do
have
a
question
just
for
clarification.
This
is
just
for
County.
This
does
not
include
municipalities
and
villages.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
my
concern
is.
How
are
we
going
to
enforce
this,
and
it
has
been
my
concern
I
to
work
with
students,
mr.
Suri
and
I
do
know
there
is
a
problem
with
drugs
in
the
school
I
feel
that
we
do
need
the
revenue
to
support
the
additional
services
from
our
Sheriff's
Department
for
this,
because
we
don't
know
how
this
is
going
to
be
enforced.
AE
I've
had
many
questions
asked
of
me:
how
are
you,
how
are
they
going
to
handle
this?
I
really
don't
know,
but
we
do
need
the
support
of
the
Sheriff's
Department
and
if
the
revenue
will
help
bring
in
more
Public,
Safety
I
would
have
to
agree
because
again,
I
agree
with
mr.
serwe.
We
did
not
want
this.
This
was
something
that
was
brought
on
to
us
by
the
state
of
Illinois.
We
have
to
deal
with
it
now.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Q
I
think
we
need
to
get
to
the
point
that
we
even
tell
the
state
of
Illinois.
No,
we
are
residents
of
the
state
of
Illinois
and
we
have
a
voice.
This
particular
drug
or
the
the
first
I
think
it
was
a
1940.
Not
school
in
1914
was
the
passage
of
the
Harrison
Act.
That
was
the
first
act
to
criminalize
drugs.
Q
Congress,
then
in
1970,
supported
and
passed
what
they
call
control
Susteren
Act
of
1970,
so
the
federal
government
has
not
approved
anything.
The
problem
is
is
that
if
they're
called
by
a
federal
agent,
they
may
or
may
not
get
arrested,
even
if
they're
in
the
state
of
Illinois
but
I
know
if
they
go
across
the
state
line
of
a
current
of
a
state
that
does
not
support
it,
they
will
be
arrested
by
federal
and
can
be
charged
federally
I'm,
not
here
to
play
this
football
game
of
weather
night.
Q
We
need
revenue
we
have
since
and
come
out
of
the
waters.
Excuse
me
without
legal
acid
or
being
a
legalizing
in
this
fiscal
year,
so
I'm
not
looking
for
just
any
revenue
source.
We
have
to
understand
that.
It's
not
always
about
the
revenue,
there's
a
moral
and
ethical
value
that
we
must
place
on
teens
when
we
do
things
because
it
has
an
impact
of
one.
The
community-
and
this
is
one
of
those
there
was
a
song
I-
want
to
be
your
high.
R
Q
A
O
O
Revenue
that
we
would
get
from
this
would
go
into
the
general
fund,
and
then
it
just
becomes
a
matter
of
fighting
between
different
departments
in
terms
of
who's
going
to
get
it
clearly.
I
would
think,
because
I've
been
on
the
same
board
as
you
have
that
the
public
would
have
voted
for
Public
Safety,
but
if
they
chose
not
to
vote
for
Public
Safety
I'm,
not
sure
what
this
board
would
do
when
they
were
asked
to
choose
on
how
to
allocate
new
money.
AD
I'm
not
answering
your
question
the
your
completing
two
different
issues
here
tonight.
Last
month
we
voted
to
pass
the
tax
resolution
to
take
the
three
and
a
half
percent.
If
and
when
there
becomes
a
dispensary
in
Kankakee
County.
This
resolution
is
solely
for
whether
or
not
we
want
it
in
the
unincorporated
part
of
Kankakee
County,
and
with
that
I'll
shut
up
and
say
the
the
ordinance
is
a
yes
for
me
already.
A
Anybody
else,
second
time,
all
righty.
Are
we
ready
to
do
a
boat
all
righty?
Now
again,
if
you
vote
yes,
you
were
voting
to
not
have
dispensaries
in
the
county.
It's
unincorporated
area
of
the
county,
yes
means
no,
that
clear.
Let
me
say
it
again,
so
people
YES
on
this
resolution
we're
adopting
the
fact
that
we're
not
going
to
have
dispensaries
in
the
unincorporated
areas.
Y
Y
AG
B
AG
B
C
C
B
X
AA
C
C
AA
AA
C
A
Carries
13
to
12,
so
the
county
has
chosen
to
not
have
dispensaries
in
the
unincorporated
areas
of
the
county.
The
only
thing
that
could
change
at
is
the
citizens
referendum,
so
I
just
want
to
mention
that
and
that's
what's
in
the
state
law,
so
the
citizens
want
it.
They
can
start
a
referendum
party.
Moving
on,
let's
see
here,
I
lost
my
place
here
under
finance
that
we
read
180.
B
Under
the
record,
please
resolution
the
County
Board
of
Kankakee
County
Illinois
authorized
from
the
County
Board
Chairman
or
his
designee
to
sign
an
agreement
with
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
of
Illinois
for
medical
insurance
for

and

qualify

insurance
already.

A
A
You
may
remember
that
we
ordered
some
trucks,
but
then
they
said
they
weren't
going
to
make
them
well
now
they
might
make
them
so
so
we're
gonna
go
with
a
not
to
exceed
number
and
while
work
out
the
details,
so
we
don't
have
to
come
back
to
the
board
again
and
so
the
State
Attorney's
Office
just
up.
That's
this
to
us
this
afternoon.
So
they're
aware
the
obviously
the
change
so.
B
I
A
I'll
leave
the
the
intricate
details
to
Anita,
because
she's
the
accountant,
not
me,
but
basically
the
directive
I
gave
about
what
seven
months
ago
was
to
anything
that
is
accounting
needs
to
go
to
the
auditor's
office,
which
I
said
as
early
as
I,
think
March
of
2017
and
anything
financial.
That's
your
job
is
board
members
you're
in
charge
of
the
finances.
The
auditor
is
in
charge
of
the
counting.
So
we
codify
that
we
did.
A
lot
of
you
know
trying
to
poke
holes
in
it
going
back
and
forth.
Does
this
qualify?
A
Does
that
not
qualify
the
credit
card
policy?
I,
don't
know
what
that
was
in
there
as
well.
That
was
part
of
the
the
changes.
Yes,
so
the
I'm
trying
to
think
what
other
really
processes
we
went
through,
but
that
was
the
major
test
comply
with
the
state
law.
Keep
your
your
the
board's
responsibility
to
run
the
finances
in
your
hands
and
then
have
the
accounting
go
into
his
hands,
but
also
we
had
to
in
order
to
comply
with
federal
single
audit
standards.
Q
That
being
said,
I
just
have
a
few
comments
and
then
I'm
the
first
one
is
on
page
7.
It
says
all
friends
will
be
sent
back,
I
need
the
word.
Children
and
I
know
there's
another
one:
a
girl
kind
of
look
over
at
a
glance
just
to
check
out
there.
It's
just
some
of
the
language
I
think
it
was
one
other
one
I
caught
it
up
on
that
I
just
needed
that
to
be
put
up
in
there,
then
also
with
the
credit
card.
What
gets
me
is
that
they
have
a
critic.
Q
They
are
issued
a
credit,
but
a
dollar
amendments,
or
that
just
so
they
can
have
a
credit
card
in
there
for
that,
and
because
it's
theirs
that
if
they
want
that
increase,
they
would
have
to
go
to
the
finance
office
to
get
that
increase.
Oh
that's!
Just
for
the
purposes
of
letting
them
have
a
car
in
their
possession
correct.
AI
AI
Currently
they
call
the
auditor's
office
and
the
limit
is
up
to
like
say
$500
whatever
is
necessary
for,
however,
many
days
are
going
to
be
gone
for
per
diems
and
gas
or
whatever
it
happens
to
be,
and
then
when
they
return,
it's
put
back
down
to
$1
that
limits
the
exposure
to
the
county.
The
only
reason
we
change
that
in
this
policy
is
because
we're
moving
a
lot
of
the
accounting
into
the
auditor's
office.
So
when
Andy
talks
about
some
segregation
of
duties,
what
we,
what
we
removed
from
the
auditor's
office,
is.
AI
Bookwork,
all
of
the
entry
of
the
expenses,
all
of
the
review
of
all
the
expense
reports
that
all
goes
to
the
auditor
and
then
on
the
finance
side.
The
finance
department
will
increase
and
decrease
the
limits,
so
so
you've
got
90%
of
it
in
the
auditor's
office.
But
if
you
think
about
it,
you
don't
want
to
have
one
person
or
two
person
be
able
to
request
the
card,
determine
the
limit
increase
it
receive
the
statement.
Do
the
journal
entry
pay
the
bill
and
audit
the
expense
report?
That
would
be
frightening
right.
AI
Q
It
does
and
I
know,
I
know
we
say
we
want
to
Audigier,
but
I
thought
that's
what
we
have
a
heart
of
the
firm
on
the
outside,
but
whatever
that
process
is
I'm
good
with
it
as
long
as
it
is
feasible,
because
I'm
looking
here
that
adjusting
adjusting
journal
entries
are
gonna
have
to
be
made.
Some,
it
looks
like
there's
some
there's
some
intense
duties
and
I'm
only
saying
to
people
in
that
office.
Q
So
at
some
point
and
I'm
they're
gonna
be
increasing
this
office
with
at
least
at
least
one
additional
personnel,
because
of
some
of
this
is
tedious.
I
have
a
degree
in
accounting
and
I'm,
looking
at
several
stuff
that
is
being
required
in
this
document
and
for
two
people.
Yes,
yes
and
one
person,
that's
a
tedious
test.
So
I
was
that
going
to
be
accomplished.
A
Sure
sure
and
I
ask
that
same
question
back
in
2017
late
in
the
year
of
Anita
and
I
asked
for
an
analysis
of
all
the
other
auditor
offices
that
are
in
the
kind
of
classification
of
County
that
we're
in
that
are
subject
to
that
desire.
State
law
where
the
accountant
is
the
auditor
is
also
an
accountant,
and
the
results
are
clear.
A
On
the
average
for
a
hundred
thousand
people
population
1.92
employees
in
the
auditor's
office,
the
budget
per
capita
is
1.2,
so
we're
right
at
those
numbers,
basically
a
little
bit
shy
on
there's
some
outliers
like
Macon
County.
They
just
gave
all
the
finance
HR
everything
to
their
auditor
County
work
and
give
it
away
it
can't
be
taken
away.
Just
like
we
can't
take
accounting
away.
We
knew
we
had
to
give
it
back
how
we
were
going
to
do
that
in
what
accounting
was.
Was
the
issue
so
into
your
statement
about?
We
have
an
outside
auditor?
A
Yes,
we!
Yes,
we
do,
but
it's
against
Accounting,
Standards
and
really
any
any
sensible
practice.
They
can't
be
part
of
your
internal
controls.
No
outside
accountant
can
be
part
of
your
internal
controls,
which
management,
which
is
us
it's
up
to
us,
to
establish
that
that's
what
this
book
is.
Is
our
internal
controls
guideline
very
well,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
knew
we
didn't
take
this
lightly.
This
work
was
done
in
the
background.
A
You
look
at
the
finance
office,
there's
2.2
employees
that
worked
on
everything
to
do
with
finance
and
all
their
accounting
work
that
they
were
currently
doing
right
now,
2.2
employees,
so
we're
right
right
in
that
area,
I'm
not
allowed
per
union
contract
to
give
half
employees
there's
no
part-timers
allowed.
So
it
we
think
with
the
auditor
not
doing
purchasing
anymore,
not
doing
the
majority
of
the
credit
card
work
anymore.
There
should
be
more
than
enough
time
to
accomplish
these
tasks.
A
Q
A
C
B
G
B
X
B
A
Q
AI
A
A
A
A
Do
we
need
to
mention
I
think
we
need
to
mention
help
apartment
in
that
endeavor
because
it
was
posted.
The
draft
is
posted
from
the
Health
Department,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody
knew
that
we
didn't
have
it
at
the
last
meeting.
It's
a
separate
corporate
fund,
so
you
know,
but
we
still
have
to
approve
it
with
our
budget.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
here
that
was
the
case.
All
righty
roll
call
vote
please.
Mr.
B
B
A
O
A
And
then
what
we're
going
to
do
is
if
you
want
a
paper
copy,
let
us
know
it's
all
online,
because
usually
we
get
big
old
stacks
of
these
and
half
of
them
would
be
left
on
the
table
because
most
people,
a
lot
of
people,
are
using
the
electronic
version.
So
if
you
want
it
just
shoot
us
an
email,
let
us
know
or
tell
us
before
you
leave
we'll
get
you
a
paper
copy.
Absolutely
sorry,
I
didn't
mention
that
before
that
was
part
of
the
attorney
all
right,
190.
Q
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
borrowing
less
and
finally
paying
back
based
upon
the
budget
numbers
in
Onslow
based
upon
testimony.
You
all
spoke
today
concerning
the
county
is
now
from
2008
the
ask.
Well
that
happened
back
when
we
had
all
of
the
you
took
that
deep
surge,
so
those
funds,
especially
in
the
highway
department,
I,
am
looking
at
going
to
be
now
paid
back
so
those
for
our
streets
at
some
point
about
next
couple
of
years
or
that
as.
A
AC
B
AE
B
A
A
This
you
may
remember
that
the
state
we
had
done
this
already
one
time
state
said
you
can
go
up
to
3%
in
the
municipalities,
and
so
we
passed
that
at
the
Finance
Committee,
and
so
we're
just
need
that
codified
here.
So
we
can
win
and
in
fact
or
if
one
goes
into
municipality,
we
get
our
3%
there.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
on
the
floor?
Mr.
Tolin,
mr.
Dunbar,
any
other
questions
discussion
on
that?
There's
roll
call
it.
