much.
H
D
Our
organization
has
been
working
for
several
months
to
learn
with
the
Kankakee
Sheriff's
Department
is
planning
in
terms
of
incarcerating
US,
Immigration
and
Customs
Enforcement
detainees,
as
well
as
other
individuals
through
Freedom
of
Information
Act
requests.
We
have
collected
data
in
terms
of
total
detainees,
as
well
as
the
number
of
detainees
from
different
subgroups,
such
as
federal
prisons
dating
back
to
January
of
2017.
D
Recent
data
suggest
a
troubling
trend
is
emerging
and
underscores
our
desire
to
know
what
the
county's
plan
for
incarceration
as
well
as
revenue
generation,
is
now
and
in
the
future.
The
data
from
the
first
six
months
of
2017
shows
an
average
daily
inmate
population
of
500
adults,
with
a
slight
upward
trend
of
these
500
inmates,
around
100
each
day
were
ice
detainees
and
the
County
data
indicates
all
of
the
ice
date.
Detainees
are
from
out
of
the
county
of
note.
D
Is
that
it
on
any
given
day
almost
300
are
the
500
detainees
are
from
out
of
the
county.
They're
shared
with
this
includes
inmates
from
other
counties
in
Illinois,
as
well
as
some
from
Indiana.
The
county
has
shared
with
us.
The
agreement
with
ice
is
a
payment
of
$80
per
day
for
our
C
trainees,
but
we
have
not
received
for
the
proceeds
for
holding
other
inmates
from
out
of
the
county.
Now
data
we
have
just
received
as
part
of
an
october
foi.
D
A
request
shows
that
since
august,
the
number
of
ice
detainees
is
training
upward
and
reached
134
in
October
and
153
in
November.
This
represents
an
increase
in
monthly
revenue
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
between
July
and
November,
and
this
is
just
ice
detainees.
The
total
number
of
inmates
is
also
on
the
rise.
The
total
population
rose
six
to
600
for
in
November.
We
have
some
questions.
Is
that
is
the
county
plan
to
increase
revenue
for
the
county
by
adding
inmates
from
other
counties?
D
Does
an
increase
in
detainees
actually
help
to
balance
the
county
budget,
or
does
it
just
force
the
expansion
of
the
Sheriff's
Department,
with
no
impact
on
other
county
departments
or
overall
budget,
or
is
it
possible
that
it
just
puts
a
strain
on
the
County
Sheriff's
Department,
taking
a
different
tact?
Is
this
the
business
that
we
want
to
be
in?
How
is
the
economic
approach
different
from
a
private
person
that
profits
from
increased
incarceration
rates?
Is
this
a
business
that
we
want
to
be
in
from
an
ethical
standpoint?
So
we
ask
what
is
the
plan?
D
A
A
Have
no
communications
there's
no
presentations,
but
nothing
for
certificates
of
recognition
this
month.
So
we
moved
to
the
minutes
of
the
January
9th
meeting,
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
those
minutes.
Mr.

2018.
E
I
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I
voted
for
this
with
the
caveat
because
we
knew
that
there
were
issues
at
Pioneer
Park
as
far
as
the
building
is
concerned,
but
one
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
make
certain
and
I'm
sure
at
Danner's
probably
already
have
done.
This
is
that
the
voters
are
made
aware
of
this,
so
that
we
don't
get
a
lot
of
unexpected
calls
because
they
were
not
made
aware.
I
believe
that
those
that
are
registered
voters,
something
has
been
sent
out
to
their
residents,
to
basically
inform
them
of
this.
In
my
correct.

Appointment

Ralph
Mercier

These

whereas
the

committee
at
the
January,
11th
2018,
meeting,
discussed
and
recommends
funding
and
approval
of
the
attached
agreement.
Therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
county
of
Kankakee
will
use
$90,000
of
matching
tax
funds
for
the
purpose
of
matching
the
federal
funds
on
an
80
percent
federal
20%

Be
it
further
resolved

or
his
designee
be
authorized
to
execute
the
attached
local
agency
agreement
for
federal
participation
on
this
project,
the
same
to
be
attested
by
the
county
clerk?
Be
it
further
resolved
that
the
county
clerk
is
hereby
directed
to
transmit
five
certified
copies
of
this
resolution
to
the
district
office
of
the
Department
of
Transportation
at
Ottawa
Illinois?
E
A
E
A
E
H
A
E
E
A
A
E
H
E
K
A
M
A
A
N
N
O
I'm
not
sure
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
which
portion
you're
addressing
but
I
assume
it's
the
part
where
previously,
the
economic
Alliance
president
was
also
the
county.
Planner
Mike
banmal
served
in
two
two
roles,
so
he
was
a
county
employee
as
a
county,
employee
planner.
Also
he
was
a
county
employee
as
the
economic
Alliance
president,
when
Mike
Van
Melle
left
those
roles
were
split.
Delbert
is
now
the
county.
A
A
N
A
E
H
A
I
A
Is
correct?
The
intention
here
is
to
be
able
to
work
out
a
full
new
agreement
with
the
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau,
and
issues
in
terms
of
pension
will
be
part
of
the
discussion.
So
this
simply
extends
the
agreement
so
that
we
have
time
to
complete
all
those
discussions
and
arrives
a
conclusion.
What
to
deal
with
any
questions
that
are
arrived.
It
also
allows
us
to
move
into
Florida,
making
this
a
an
intergovernmental
agreement
where,
under
the
previous,
what
will
happen
is
we'll
move
into
an
intergovernmental
agreement,
so
they
did
under
the
previous.
A
M
M
A
That
they
would
not
be
an
employee
of
the
county
as
I
understand
it,
and
the
technical
aspects
are
the
legal
aspects
of
that
will
be
discussed
when
the
it's
a
new
agreement
is
put
in
place.
So
this
is
just
an
extension
right
now
we
can
go
into
the
pros
and
cons
of
whatever
new
agreement
is
reached
when
that
is
presented
to
first
to
committee
and
then
to
the
full
board.
Okay,.
E
K
E
P
A
K
Good
morning,
son,
okay,
good
morning,
you
have
two
items
before
you,
the
interfund
borrowing
and
then
second,
the
tax
anticipation
warrants
these
to
serve
as
our
lifeline
for
cash
flow
for
the
county.
The
uniform
borrowing
is
a
snapshot
as
of
11:30
the
juice
for
two
purposes.
One
is
to
record
in
the
official
document.
The
comprehensive
annual
financial
report,
or
better
known,
are
some
known
as
the
audit
report.
The
earned
audit
report
gives
a
snapshot
of
where
the
cash
balance
was
at
that
moment
in
time.
K
This
is
subject
to
change
every
year,
because
you
know
it
is
out
of
our
control
when
we
receive
federal
payment,
state
payments,
tax
distributions,
etc.
So
every
year
this
can
fluctuate.
So
this
is
a
snapshot.
We've
been
doing
this
every
year
and
it
also
leads
us
into
the
new
fiscal
year
with
gives,
from
the
county
board
authorization
to
continue
to
do
this
lifeline
activity.
A
Would
it
be
correct
to
say
that
the
snapshot
this
year
may
be
a
little
bit
confusing?
If
you
make
a
comparison
because
of
the
fact
that
there
were
some
revenues,
we
did
not
receive
in
timing
that
we
had
received
in
20:16,
so
actually
in
terms
of
our
financial
situation,
we're
making
some
significant
improvement.
Although,
if
you
looked
at
this,
it
would
be
difficult
to
tell
that.
That's.
K
Correct
yeah
one
example
is
our
property
tax
distribution
and
at
least
in
2016,
the
entire
distribution
you
know
had
taken
place
as
of
11:30
this
year
it
was.
There
was
also
some
into
summer
in
January.
Had
that
happen
in
a
similar
situation,
this
number
would
be
better,
so
yeah,
there's
there's
advances
it's
just
again.
This
is
a
timing
of
cash
record,
so
it
can
fluctuate,
it
could
fluctuate
better
or
worse
by
a
million
dollars
just
because
of
timing.
K
I
Don't
know
that
we
have
been
doing
this
for
quite
some
time.
I
also
know
that
we
are
trying
to
downsize
the
amount
that
we
in
a
farm
bomb.
But
what
raises
my
eyebrow
and
I
was
looking
around
I,
don't
know
if
I
saw
near,
but
the
auditor
I'm
looking
at
some
writing
saying
refused
through
the
barring
and
it's
kind
of
faint
to
me.
Is
it
380,000
above
last
year
or
whatever?
It
is
what
why
what's
that
concern?
I
B
A
K
B
B
K
K
F
A
Well,
III
I
think
if
we
understand
this
there's
two
elements
going
on
here,
one
in
terms
of
the
cash
flow
and
we
need
to
as
I
understand
it
have
this
in
regard
to
that
cash
flow
understand.
The
second
thing
that
is
going
on
is
in
terms
of
as
our
budget
has
improved,
the
need
for
this
type
of
borrowing
will
decline.
A
A
On
the
other
hand,
in
my
understanding
that
many
local
governments
have
attendance-
and
they
practice
not
just
a
tendency-
a
practice
of
this
type
of
interfund
borrowing,
simply
because
the
taxpayers
have
not
chosen
to
have
enough
taxes
imposed
to
create
that
kind
of
reserve.
These
are
different
funds
that
we
can
move
back
and
forth
with
no
penalty
really
to
the
fund.
B
Understood,
if
you
don't
mind
me
just
one
other
comment:
it's
true
I
understand
the
process
and
and
the
reason
behind
it,
I
just
want
to
state
my
concern
that
it's
ongoing
it's.
It
seems
to
be
authorized
by
the
Finance
Director
and
the
County
Board
Chairman,
and
we
vote
on
it
once
or
twice
a
year,
and
we
do
see
those
movements
but
I'm,
just
I'm,
just
concerned
that
it's
happening
without
that
it's
happening,
we're
proving
it
in
arrears.
N
Understand
and
I'm
a
new
board
member
and
I
understand
the
difference
between
cash
and
accrual.
It's
my
understanding
and
I
have
the
utmost
respect
for
mr.
McCarty
I
have
the
utmost
respect
for
mr.
McCarty
and
it's
my
understanding
and
I
like
to
hear
him
say
it
again
that
the
county
is
in
a
better
financial
position
than
in
previous
years,
and
the
trend
is
positive
and
that
we're
looking
at
a
cash
flow
thing
here,
which
is
a
requirement.
We
have
payroll
and
things
that
have
to
be
done.
N
A
K
So,
yes,
the
the
County
Board
is
making
significant
advances
overall
and
unfortunately,
you
know
the
cash
flow.
The
timing
of
cash
flow
can
sometimes
not
necessarily
always
reflect
that,
but
because
it
is
a
timing
issue,
as
this
report
is
potentially
compared
to
what
we
did
last
year,
so
unfortunately
that
part's
out
of
our
control
when
it
actually
arrives,
but
as
far
as
overall
benefit
and
gain
yes,
there's
there
significant
gain
again
this
year.
Yes,.
A
Q
A
It
once
a
year
we
need
to
make
this
resolution,
as
my
understanding
is
that
correct
mr.
McCarty,
he
in
order
to
meet
the
requirements
of
an
audit.
So
that's
why
it's
done
on
an
annual
basis.
It's
only
dealing
with
the
requirements
of
the
audit.
We
don't
need
to
do
it
every
month,
because
we
don't
have
a
full-scale
audit
every
month.
M
K
On
she,
the
the
current
interfund
borrowing
with
the
highway
department
last
year,
we
did
an
additional
amount
for
a
short
period
of
time,
and
then
we
returned
that
amount
with
an
additional
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
this
is
sheet
identifies
the
matching
tax
fund
for
30
and
fund
for
40.
Are
they
continuing
in
upon
borrowing
with
the
highway
department.
B
Thank
you
I
believe
the
ordinance
calls
for
an
emergency
and
I
absolutely
understand
that
payroll
meeting
payroll
is
an
emergency
I'm,
not
denying
that
it's
necessary,
but
is
there
a
document
that
says
there's
an
emergency?
We
need
to
do
that
or
is
that
this
document,
and
is
this
document
legitimate
without
the
auditors
signature.
L
The
Chairman
had
asked
our
office
to
research
that
issue
and
there
is
a
state
statute
which
does
not
seem
in
case
law,
which
does
not
seem
to
require
the
auditors
signature,
and
then
there
is
a
county
ordinance
that
seems
to
require
the
auditor
signature.
So
you
have
a
county
ordinance
that,
in
my
interpretation,
requires
the
auditor
signature
and
then
you
have
state
law,
we're
not
home
rule,
so
we
couldn't
be
I'm,
not
sure
that
we
can.
We
would
trump
state
law.
L
You
know
the
board
has
questions
on
that.
We
can
research
it
further,
but
I
know
state
law
does
not
require
the
auditor
signature
county
ordinance
seems
to
require
the
auditor
signature
and
just
as
a
point,
mr.
McCarty,
you
said
that
the
money
is
some
of
it's
paid
back
around
tax
time,
but
all
of
it
is
paid
back
honor
before
November
30th
the
last
day
of
the
fiscal
year
out
of
the
general
fund
back
into
those
special
funds,
because
that's
what
the
law
requires
correct.
That's.
L
I
So
that's
what
I'm
looking
for,
but
I
would
feel
uncomfortable
to
to
vote
on
something.
That's
auditor
has
not
signed
without
hearing
why
he
is
not
signing.
Maybe
the
other
county
board
members
might
want
to
trade
that
water,
but
I'm,
saying
that
I
can't
without
knowing
as
to
why
and
maybe
it
could
be
just
a
simple.
You
know,
concern
or
whatever,
but
nevertheless,
intelligence
much
dictate
that
we
need
to
before.
We
put
our
blessings
on
something
know
why
something
is
not
signed.

Ordinance
of
the
County
Board
of
Kankakee
County
Illinois
ordinance
authorizing
the
issuance
of
the
not
to
exceed
2.5
million
corporate
purpose
and
port
purpose
in
tax
anticipation,
warrants
2018
and
anticipation
of
the
collection
of
taxes
levied
for
the
year
2017
and
payable
in
the
year
2018
by
the
county
board
of
kinky
County
Illinois
for
corporate
and
tort
purposes.
All.
I
That
we're
using
you
use
the
terminology
where
there
is
no
money
in
the
treasurer
I'm
more
comfortable
with
the
word
insufficient
or
deficient.
But
when
you
say
no
money,
that
means
there's
just
none
in
there.
It's
you
know
it's
that
that
absolute
tends
to
bother
me
but
I.
Guess
if
that
Stern
it's
been
passed
by
the
state's
attorney
I
guess
it
should
should
work
better.
That
no
absolute
tends
to
tell
me
I,
don't
have
hey
yeah.
A
A
At
one
point,
we
of
course
last
year
had
three
million
dollars
in
tax
anticipation
warrants
and
we
were
informed
by
the
banks
that
we
were
only
going
to
get
two
million,
and
this
year
after
we
presented
the
chairman
and
the
finance
director
presented
our
financial
position
to
the
bank's,
they
were
willing
to
grant
a
warrants
that
were
2.5
million.
So
I
think
that
the
the
good
response
see
that
we
got
from
the
banks
is
a
signal
that
both
board
members
should
recognize
and
that
the
public
should
be
aware
of
any
other
discussion.
E
J
I
Mr.
Snipes
I
think
that
would
probably
be
kind
of
premature
to
say
that
he
doesn't
want
to
I
believe
that
an
individual
that
has
objections
to
something
may
have
concern.
I
think
it's
a
due
diligence
of
a
County
Board
to
basically
hear
those
objections.
That's
why
we're
here
for
but
to
say
that
he
doesn't
want
to
I,
don't
think
it's
a
fair
statement,
and
then
that
also
speaks
in
as
we
have
when
in
essence,
you
know
exactly
why
or
what
his
concerns
is,
and
so
he
gets
here
just
speak
for
himself.
J
A
Move
on
to
the
other
business,
we
have
some
openings
to
announce.
There
are
two
openings
on
the
Kankakee
County
public
buildings:
Commission,
one
opening
of
Kankakee
County
Regional
Planning
Commission;
four
openings
on
the
Board
of
Examiners
and
appeals;
a
commercial
contractor
residential
contractor
electrician
and
plumber;
one
opening
of
job
beans,
drainage,
district,
one
opening
on
the
manteno
drainage
district
number;
three,
one:
opening
on
the
manteno
drainage
district
number,
nine
one
opening
on
the
kinky
Valley
Airport
Authority
and
as
the
current
openings.
A
Heard
the
agenda
at
this
point:
we
need
to
enter
executive
session
for
a
motion
dealing
with
pending
litigation:
five
ILC
one
20/2
c11-
and
for
review
of
executive
session
minutes
five
lics
120
slice
to
see
21.
Can
we
have
a
motion
to
move
into
executive
session?
Mr.
Peyton
most
miss
trip
seconds.
All
of
that'll
be
a
roll
call
vote.
Mr.
E
E
A
A
A
H
L
Just
for
the
record,
before
a
vote,
the
January
13
2015
11
2015
July
12
2016
closed
session
minutes.
Those
will
remain
to
be
not
released
due
to
pending
litigation.
The
November
29th
2017
minutes
will
not
be
released
due
to
ongoing
collective
bargaining,
negotiation
and
January.
9Th
2018
will
continue
to
not
be
released
to,
depending
or
imminent
litigation
and
specific
employee
discussion.
A
A
J
J
I'll
make
it
broad
and
I
think
that
some
of
the
members
here
have
not
been
through
ex
parte
communications
and
I
think
it
would
be
apropos
if
the
state's
attorney
would
communicate
with
all
of
the
board
members
what
to
expect.
If
those
applications
are
forwarded
to
the
county
and
our
official,
we
can
do
that.
