B
A
For
roll
call,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
vac
for
helping
us
get
our
flag
situation
straightened
out.
We
had
them
sitting
back
in
the
corner
and
the
american
flag
always
needs
to
be
in
the
superior
position
with
limited
space.
We
kind
of
came
up
with
something,
so
I
wanted
to
thank
them
for
their
their
assistance
there.
So
we
could
we'll
call
please.
A
We
have
a
quorum.
Thank
you.

we
could,
could
we
get

approved
mr
hunter
evergreen

he
he's

for
all
meetings
and
then
also,
mr
smith,
until
he's
fully
recovered
as
well
shouldn't
be

long
term.
So
is
there
a
motion
on
that?

We
had

little
presentation

Mr

had
a
few
words.
I
guess,
then
maybe
you
might
make
an
introduction
when

done

I
appreciate
that.
F
All

stand

as
the

You
know
plaque

the
citizens
of
this
county.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
everything
and
I
learned
a
lot
with
you
tell
me.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
a
little
hoarse
coming
off
of
a
cold
but
feeling
a
lot
better.
I
want
to
just
thank
the
board
for
all
their
support.
All
these
years.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
staff.
I've
got
a
wonderful
staff
at
the
county,
highway
department
that
works
hard
and
and
has
been
very,
very
dedicated
to
public
safety.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
jimbo
karczyk.
He
was
my
my
mentor.
E
E
E
A
Thanks
so
mark
has
come
promised
to
come
back
and
plow
some
snow
for
us
every
once
in
a
while
when
he
feels
lonely
not,
he
said
I
think
he
said
you're
on
your
own.
No,
but
no.
I
really
appreciate
it
mark
for
everything
I'll
miss
the
impromptu
conversations
as
you're
running
through
the
office
to
go
into
anita's
office
and
discuss
the
issue
of
the
day.
So
it's
we
do
appreciate
everything
and
we'll
miss
you
under
certificates
of
appreciation.
A
15
years
we've
got
john
higginson
courts,
bernice
jarrett
corrections,
jasper
jones
corrections,
bill
perkins
in
the
coroner's
office
and
then
for
25
years.
Todd
schlondorff
went
corrections,
so
I
don't
think
they're
here
today,
but
we
got
the.
As
always,
we
got
the
the
finest
certificate
that
money
can
buy
and
we'll
get
that
over
to
them,
but
we
do
appreciate
it
minutes
of
the
last
meeting
february.
2022
is
your
motion,
ms
parker,
mr
payton,
with
a
second
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye.
C
Chairman
and
members
of
the
county
board,
your
committee
on
county
claims
would
beg
leave
to
report
they've
examined
the
following
claims
presented
and
recommend
payment.
The
clerk
is
hereby
authorized
and
directed
to
issue
orders
to
the
several
claimants
total
claims
of
six
million
two
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
two
hundred
sixty
three
dollars
and
twenty
cents.
A
C
A
A
G
A
Can
read
it
yeah?
Do
we
have
trouble
reading
his
comments
a
lot
of
times?
Okay?
So
we've
requested
that
in
writing
from
our
finance
committee
chairman
to
please
type
out
his
comments
so
focus
on
accordingly,
and
usually
that's
maybe
one
or
two
or
three
per
finance
committee
meeting
we
go
through.
Would
that
be
a
fair
estimate?
A
Okay,
that
that
there's
an
issue
that
he
has
an
issue?
Excuse
me,
so
we
the
voice.
The
motion
carried.
Does
that
work
acceptable,
the
motion
carried
yeah
because
that
was
during
the
question.
Okay,
just
don't
have
to
redo
that
again,
thank
you
under
consent
agenda.
Is
there
anything
that
needs
to
be
pulled
off
and
discussed
after
this.
H
C
Appointment
of
bruce
pearlberg
to
the
regional
planning
commission,
the
reappointment
of
william
hemm
to
the
bourbon,
a
fire
protection
district,
the
reappointment
of
art
alice
argellian
to
the
bourbon,
a
fire
protection
district
declaration
of
surplus
equipment
show
bus
numbers,
10
and
11..
The
repeal
of
stipulation
listed
in
resolution.
2019-08-13-124.
A
A
A
A
A
A
So
that
is
correct.
So
we
need
to
have
that
motion
if,
if
so
choose
to
agree
with
pza
and
zba,
just
making
sure
that
that's
clear
so
this
the
motion
will
be
to
concur
with
pza
and
zba.
You
can
make
the
motion
otherwise
too,
but
that's
the
proper,
the
way
that
it
would
come.
So
is
there
a
motion
on
that
side
of
things?
I
I
I
The
current
frontage
as
it's
drawn
as
they
purchased
it
from
the
neighboring
landowner,
is
50
feet
in
width
and
as
it's
a
newly
created
lot
on
124
or
the
zba
voted
to
deny,
based
on
a
distinct
lack
of
hardship
under
number
one,
the
hardship,
it's
an
entirely
self-created
hardship
at
one
point.
Just
for
this
committee.
I
During
the
the
testimony
and
commentary
the
owner
of
this
subject,
property
did
indicate
he
will
reach
out
to
the
neighboring
property
owner
to
purchase
more
property,
and
so
that
also
then
leads
into
that
lack
of
of
hardship
where
they
created
this
lot
very
recently
that
just
didn't
fit
our
our
ordinance.
So
they
can
go
back,
purchase
a
additional
front
edge
and
then
it
will
fit
our
ordinance
and
then
they
won't
need
that
variance.
G
I
I
A
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
this
is
zba
case
21-13.
This
is
mr
andrew
m
lee
jr,
owner
and
applicant.
This
one
is
zoned
i2
underlying
zoning
out
in
diversitech.
It
does
have
a
special
sorry,
a
pud
as
part
of
that
that
zoning,
but
in
this
instance
we're
talking
about
a
special
use
permit
for
an
amusement
facility.
So
that's
a
an
assembly
use.
So
mr
lee
owns
the
the
subject
property
and
actually
this
the
property
adjacent
he's
constructed.
I
The
aerial
does
not
show
it,
but
he's
he
initially
constructed
a
steel
structure
for
his
bounce
house
and
outdoor
toilet
portable
toilet
operation.
He
subsequently
petitioned
the
county
to
utilize
a
portion
of
that
space
for
indoor
event
space.
So
that's
where
that
assembly
use
comes
in
on
214.
The
zba
unanimously
voted
to
approve
the
conditions
for
the
special
use
permit
and
then,
at
the
february
pca
meeting
we
had
a
subsequent
vote
for
to
accept
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
recommendation.
I
I
I
This
is
a
use,
and
when
we
talk
about
zoning,
this
is
the
use
of
the
site
in
relation
to
neighboring
properties
uses.
We
still
have
subsequent
building
codes
and
fire
codes.
That
would
apply
to
this
to
make
sure
that
it's
safe,
if
anybody
were
in
the
building
that
they
would
be
able
to
safely
exit
or
you
know,
have
appropriate
bathroom
facilities
that
would
meet
the
americans
with
disabilities
act
and
things
along
those
lines.
So
this
is
what
we're
here
for
today
is
to
talk
about.
A
All
right
any
questions
on
that
one.
I
think
the
committee's
only
concern
was
like
you
know,
late
night
noise
and
I
think
that
falls
under
other
ordinances,
because
this
is
in
the
county,
so
there'd
be
complying
with
all
of
our
other
ordinances
as
part
of
this
as
well.
So
I
think
that
was
really
the
only
concern
I
remember
from
pza.
Am
I
correcting
that?
Okay,
mr.
I
They're
not
from
my
understanding,
they're
not
applying
for
a
a
liquor
license
under
that
they're.
You
know
the
way
that
and
I'm
not
an
expert
on
liquor
licenses,
but
you
know
facilities
like
this.
If
you
host
a
party,
they
can
do
byob
without
requiring
a
liquor
license
from
my
understanding,
that's
not
something
that
we
necessarily
regulate,
but
that
that
conceivably
could
be
part
of
this.
So
this
is
a
operation
of
like
any
other
facility
within
you
know.
I
If
you
rent
space
to
people-
and
you
say
you
want
to
have
a
bridal
shower
and
have
champagne
at
it,
that
would
be
something
that
I
believe
would
be
allowed,
but
you
know
they
would
operate
within
those
parameters
where
it
would
be
inside
it
wouldn't
spill
out.
People
wouldn't
be
parking
on
the
streets
and
interrupting
the
neighbors.
A
They
could
apply
that's
for
sure,
but
as
as
it
was
mentioned,
I
don't
think
you're
gonna
see
bounce
ounces
with
liquor.
You
know
so,
although
that
might
be
a
good
time,
but
you
know
for
a
while
so
but
no
it's
I
they
could
apply
down
the
road
and
they'll
be
subject
to
everything
else,
which
includes
our
building
codes
and
fire
codes.
So
it's
all
wrapped
up
into
the
same
conversation.
A
C
A
C
A
I
I
Say
cliff
notes
for
this
is
I
say
this
every
time
fundamentally,
the
just
the
the
difficulty
in
public
transportation
is
trying
to
maximize
and
leverage
our
dollars.
We
spent
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
every
year
in
public
transportation
in
kankakee
county,
and
that
comes
from
about
170
000
on
the
section
5311
side,
and
then
we
receive
a
1.2
million
grant
on
downstate
operating
assistance
and
we're
never
quite
able
to
maximize
that.
I
I
will
say,
though,
recently
this
board
took
action
to
work
with
our
partner
showbus
we're
actually
going
to
get
a
grant
from
the
age
guide,
which
is
formerly
the
area
agency
on
aging,
so
we'll
be
able
to
further
maximize
some
of
our
dollars
by
using
some
of
those
senior
funds.
Ideally
we'd
like
to
maximize
this
and
do
about
two
million
dollars
in
transit
every
year.
It's
just
it's
a
very
difficult
business
to
be
in,
but
this
these
funds
are
are
made
made
available
to
us
and
we're
trying
to
maximize
them
every
year.
I
I
just
it's.
It's
a
little
unfortunate
we're,
never
quite
able
to
to
really
do
that.
Two
full
two
million,
but
we're
kind
of
working
at
it.
Making
the
system
better
so
yeah,
we'll
we'll
spend
around
166
000
in
5311
and
then
about
550
of
the
dope
funds
and
and
this
year,
hopefully
some
more
of
that
up
to
that
1.2
million
number
and
the
the
one.
I
guess
the
maybe
the
main
cliff
note
for
this
board.
15
000
of
cash
comes
from
key
county
for
the
system,
so
there
there
is
this.
A
So
15
grand
it'll
be
roll
call,
but
the
no
that's
all
right.
I
know
what
you
meant:
the
we're
in
at
15
000
if
we
were
to
put
a
hundred
thousand
and
we'd
get
another
100
grand
and
match,
but
obviously
we
don't
have
that
right
now
and
the
system
supports
what
we're
doing
so.
You
know
there's
there's
some
things
like
that.
Don't
forget
that
we
got
the
grant
for
the
the
bus,
barn
and
we're
looking
for
that
location
right
now.
We
have
some
pretty
solid
ideas
where
to
go.
A
I
And
if
I
could,
chairman
to
the
the
bus,
barn
and
then
three
six
additional
vehicles
and
the
state
announced
cvp,
so
consolidated
vehicle
procurement
got
announced
yesterday
and
the
reason
I'm
really
saying
this
is
our
5310
partner,
so
we're
section
5311
rural
transit.
We
do
have
those
non-public
system
partners
in
in
kankakee
county
kctc.
I
You
know
the
utilized
boston
good
shepherd
manor
that
the
that
application,
if
this
can
make
to
make
it
to
the
public,
would
be
great
that
application
was
released
yesterday
so
on
any
of
our
partners
that
are
doing
rural
transit
in
kaneki
county
that
aren't
necessarily
public
rural
transit,
they'll
they're
going
to
be
able
to
apply
for
those
those
buses
too.
So
that's
it's
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
we're
happy
that
they
were
able
to
announce
it.
Yesterday,
yeah.
I
So
well,
we
received
a
carissa
allotment.
That's
the!
I
don't
even
know
what
chris
stands
where
I
apologize,
I'm
not
even
gonna
make
it
up.
We
received
funds
under
under
arpa.
For
chris
there
was
an
allotment.
Then
we
received
a
second
allotment
and
we've
been
utilizing
those
funds.
I
would
say
that
in
the
state
of
illinois,
I'm
not
trying
to
be
too
critical
of
this,
but
we've
offset
our
downstate
operating
assistance
dollars,
which
is
a
statutory
obligation
of
our
general
assembly
to
give
funds
to
transit.
I
We
used
those
federal
dollars
and
then
we
didn't
spend
the
dope
money
I've.
You
know
as
far
as
we're
concerned
that
should
have
been
an
additional
offering
right.
That
would
be
the
the
ideal
scenario,
but
based
on
the
match
requirements
I
mean
some
of
some
of
our
matches
are
65
35.
Some
are
80
20,
some
are
50
50..
It
really
becomes
kind
of
a
very
complicated
equation,
so
we
were
able
to
use
arpa
funds
for
transit
in
the
previous
year.
I
I
think
if
there
are
some
some
holdover
funds,
we'll
continue
to
use
them,
but
right
now
the
way
we're
billing
is
just
directly
to
the
5311
section,
5311
and
then
downstate
operating
system.
So
we've
gotten
funds.
I
don't
know
that
we'll
get
any
more
funds
now
if
other
entities
wanted
to
utilize
funds,
certainly
as
a
system
where
we're
happy
to
talk
about
that.
I
If
I
know
that
got
brought
up
at
the
last
meeting,
if
other
entities
want
some
of
the
townships
want
to
look
for
vehicles,
cvp
is
available
now,
so
this
would
be
a
time
for
them
to
be
applying
for
for
vehicles
on
their
own
and
not
necessarily
tied
to
arpa
but
tied
to
available
assets
within
the
state
of
illinois.
So
I
mean
it's
a
it's
an
opportune
time.
You
know-
and
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
not
necessarily
in
partnership
with
us.
Maybe
it's
a
vehicle.
Maybe
they
want
to
contact
us
and
ask
to
schedule.
A
Right,
even
if
it's
state
pastor,
so
we
can't
use
our
local
money
as
the
local
match
for
the
federal
transportation
money.
It's
against
the
law.
Yeah.
Believe
me,
a
lot
of
people
wish
we
could,
because
we
could
do
so
much
more.
You
know,
but
we're
always
missing
that
that
that
gap
you
know
on
the
front
end
the
twenty
percent
on.
I
C
A
A
So
in
this
case
it
just
went
up
a
penny
and
I
said
lock
it
in
at
that
point,
four:
four:
nine.
That
was
a
penny
more
than
the
top
of
our
range
out
of
committee,
but
I
can't
tell
you
where
it's
at
today
it
could
be
lower,
it
could
be
higher,
but
we're
not
going
to
get
back
down
to
the
31
cents
anytime
soon
and
by
the
way
we
have
that
31
cents
until
october,
so
where
the
everybody
else
is
paying
70
and
75
we're
at
35
cents
in
terms
for
31.
A
A
No
I'm
just
kidding,
so
this
is
a
formality
of
this
is
we
have
to
set
the
pay
for
the
county
engineer,
so
this
is
that
that
formality
and
sending
this
and
I
died.
Is
there
a
motion
poor
per
this
document
in
the
back
here
and
by
the
way?
What's
the
reimbursement?
Again,
it's
50.
If
we
pay
up
to
90
correct.
E
A
J
A
H
J
A
A
A
A
A
G
A
You
know
those
types
of
things,
but
it
could
be
used
for
air
circulation
in
a
school
or
filtration
or
a
food
bank
program
that
they
do
so
if
they
are
just
looking
for
air
conditioning
for
a
church,
then
that's
not
eligible
for
the
supreme
court
of
the
united
states,
but
if
it
was
money
for
their
food
pantry
program,
then
that's
eligible,
because
it's
not
about
proselytizing
faith.
Does
that
make
sense?
Okay,
so.
A
Like
in
this
case,
mac
is
this:
is
it's
a
reimbursement
if
they
get
the
project
and
they
would
submit
a
receipt
to
us,
the
the
air
quality
and
circulation
project
and
we're
saying
we
would
reimburse
up
to
ten
thousand
dollars?
Okay,
so
so
they're
asking
other
municipalities
with
students
that
are
from
their
towns
to
do
the
same?
Okay,
then
I
can't
say
which
ones
I
just
know
one
for
sure
and
it's
not
on
the
front
end.
That's
the
important
thing,
so
we
can
get
into
that.
A
A
C
F
A
B
A
H
A
C
A
A
If
the
board
said
don't
do
it
or
if
they
feel
uncomfortable
with
doing
something
like
that
to
show
that
support,
so
I
will
wait
until
executive,
but
you
guys
could
tell
me
head
nod:
do
we
want
to
make
that
statement
and
then
get
it
on
order,
because
it
may
be
that
long
before
we
get
it
anyway
about
80
bucks
roughly,
is
what
they
cost.
It's
the
ones
that
won't
tear
up
in
the
wind.
So
is
there
any
thoughts
there?
Mr
kirkster,
I
saw
your
hand
up.
K
Yes,
I
I
deeply
appreciate
the
the
fact
that
that
you
brought
this
that
you
brought
this
up.
I
think
it
is
one
thing
that
we
need
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
for
those
those
for
those
people
over
there.
But
as
far
as
the
flag
is
concerned,
we
could
we,
if
it
would
be
it
more
convenient
and
more
expedient.
A
So
I
don't
know
how
the
committee
feels
about
that.
I
called
a
local
vendor
to
make
something
as
you
were
describing
and
they
can't
so
I
don't
that
that
was.
It
was
to
either
make
a
flag
or
something
like
that
that
we
can
hang
on
the
building
and
they
don't
have
the
colors.
They
still
don't
yeah.
So
there's
a
lot
of
those
out
there
that
aren't
the
right
color
scheme
right,
because
everybody's
trying
to
capitalize
on
it.
I.
K
A
A
A
D
Yeah,
I
think
we
had
a
substantial
discussion
yesterday
with
kirkster
carol
you
and
myself,
and
I
thought
it
was
a
good
idea,
and
I
think
somebody
used
the
word
solidarity
and
I
think
we
need
to
support
that.
You
know
as
as
you've
described
it.
I
don't
think
to
any
person
would
have
any
issue
with
that.
When
you
take
a
look
at
the
the
horrendous
conditions
that
that
the
folks
are
being
subjected
to
over
there.
D
You
know
it
kind
of
reminds
me
of
of
of
hitler
and
in
terms
of
what
he
did
to
to
poland
and
and-
and
you
know
back
in
the
day,
but
I
I
think
it's
a
good
insight
on
your
part
to
show
some
support,
and
I
haven't
heard
anybody
in
the
community
voice.
Any
adverse
comments
about.
You
know
something
that
which
you're
you're
considering.
A
G
G
A
All
right,
it
sounds
like
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
now
then.
So,
no,
I
don't
think
there's
there's
enough
people
here
and
we
can't
vote
on
it.
So
I
can't
do
anything
there's
enough
people.
That
said
they
don't
want
to
do
it
in
this
room
under
the
way
that
I
presented
it.
So
we
have
to
wait.
We
have
to
wait.
I
I
can't
I
can't
act
unilaterally,
so
we'll
have
to
go
to
a
vo2
executive
on
just
what
we
do.
A
D
I
understand
that,
but
I'd
be
willing
to
help
you
with
the
80
expenditure
and
I'm
not
hearing
the
adverse
comments
about
what
we
can't
do.
You
know
and
I'm
not
asking
you
to
do
something
unilaterally,
but
but
I'm
sure,
if
you,
if
you
poll
the
the
attendees
that
I'm
sure
we
could
come
up
with
80
bucks.
A
A
We
will
make
sure
an
executive
committee.
We
have
the
authority
to
fly
it
on
our
flagpole.
I
just
want
to
get
it
on
order
now,
because
I
don't
want
anything
wait
another
month.
Unfortunately,
I
think
we're
going
to
be
seeing
this
situation
protracted
for
a
long
period
of
time.
So
I
expect
us
to
probably
buy
more
flags
as
this
one
gets
tagged.
K
A
G
A
G
The
comment
is
not,
in
contrast,
that
is
in
addition
to
that.
I'm
just
saying
that
there's
opportunity
that
we
want
to
allow
the
people
outside
just
a
county
board
to
come
together,
and
if
we
have
t-shirts
that
we
buy
ourselves,
it
is
no
cost
to
anyone
else.
Certainly
they
are
not
we're,
not
in
opposition,
we're
just
saying
we
want
to
take
it
even
to
another
level.
When
we
had
hands
across
america
we
did
something
in
the
county,
but
we
allowed
the
people
to
come
together
and
that
solidarity
tends
to
bring
people
together
and
it.
