So
it
just
was
supposed
to
be
a
surprise
and
that
gentleman
got
called
out
so
we'll
we'll
we'll
take
that
next
month.
I'm
gonna
expect
him
to
know
in
10
minutes
because
that's
probably
a
worse
kept
secret,
but
I
will
say
that
we
appreciate
Bob
Gessner
if
we're
going
to
honor
him.
He
needs
to
be
here
for
that.
So
that's
we
appreciate
the
work
that
he
does.
We
have
certificates
of
appreciation
15
years
in
Corrections,
Tyler,
Fox,
Adam,
Granger,
Brant,
kimery,
Alex,
Ramirez
and
Chad
Ruckman.

A
A
F
A
A
There
was
someone
else
that
was
interested
that
was
imminently
qualified
just
like
everybody
else
was
that
we
we
actually
had
a
problem
this
time.
Okay,
we
had.
We
had
four
applicants
that
were
qualified
for
three
seats,
which
is
just
the
opposite
of
what
we
usually
have
is
we're,
usually
two
applicants
short
of
what
we
need
you
know,
so
it
was
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
applicant
doesn't
slip
through
our
fingers
for
the
next
time.
A
Okay,
thanks
and
by
by
I,
don't
think
it's
by
Statute
I
think
it's
actually
by
the
adoption
of
the
referendum
that
there's
one
County
Board
member,
that's
appointed,
and
so
this
is
set.
There
has
to
be
a
doctor
and
I
think
there's
some
state
law
in
there
as
well.
John
could
correct
me
there,
but
I
think
it's
a
a
mixture
of
the
two
I
believe.
That's
the
way
that
that
goes.
G
Yeah
good
morning,
my
statute,
the
Board
of
Health,
originally,
was
eight
I.
Think
at
some
point
during
the
history
of
the
health
department
in
the
county
they're.
Maybe
the
statute
was
changed
to
allow
one
more
individual
and
at
that
time
they
did
elect.
So
the
the
current
Board
of
Health
is
served
by
nine
members.
Two
have
to
be
a
doctor,
one
has
to
be
a
dentist
and
then
one
is
the
board
liaison
and
County
Board
representative,
when
the
population
of
a
county
gets
high
enough,
which
we
are
not
at.
G
A
B
A
D
The

A
H
I
A
E
A
A
I
A
We've
no
48
hours.
That's
why
I
asked
John
yeah
yeah
it's!
It
is
a
substance!
That's
why
you
know
I
had
to
ask
all
right
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
pass
on
that
one
for
right
now:
I
apologize
to
Mr
De
Young,
but
it's
really
in
effect
the
business
can
get
done
because
he's
duly
appointed
as
serving
chair,
okay.
A
D
A
A
D
Amending
an
ordinance
of
the
County
Board
of
Kankakee
County
Illinois
for
the
establishment
of
the
Kankakee
County,
Enterprise
Zone
and
the
boundaries
thereof
in
Kankakee
is
amended
and
resolution
authorizing
the
execution
of
an
amended
intergovernmental
agreement
to
add
new
territory,
delete
territory
and
amend
benefits
to
the
king
key
County
Enterprise.
So.
A
J
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
I
guess
for
thatification
the
board
the
the
way
this
works
is.
We
have
an
acting
ordinance
that
we
work
off
of
as
an
Enterprise
Zone.
Each
of
the
jurisdictions
passed
that
when
we
make
any
amendments
to
the
Enterprise
Zone,
we're
asking
you
to
do
is
to
amend
that
existing
ordinance.
Essentially,
it's
an
override.
The
second
part
part
of
this
allows
chairman
wheeler
to
sign
the
executed
intergovernmental
agreement,
which
is
a
required
companion
document.
J
K
Yeah,
excuse
me
the
idea
for
this
came
about,
because
you
know
we
did
an
analysis
of
you
know
the
housing
market
in
Kankakee
County
and
the
lack
of
home
construction
that's
taking
place
in
the
county
over
the
last
15
years.
If
you
know
most
of
you
have
been
around
here
for
a
while
remember
the
early
2000s,
we
were
building
seven
800
homes
a
year
in
Kankakee
County
and
in
2008
that
stopped
and
we
went
down
to
one
year.
K
We
didn't
build
any
houses
and
in
the
last
10
to
15
years,
we've
averaged
under
100
homes
being
constructed
in
Kankakee
County.
We're
trying
to
you
know,
try
to
kick
start
that
and
see
if
there's
some
way
that
we
can
potentially
get
the
housing
market
back
in
business
here
in
the
county.
We
looked
at.
You
know
as
different
ideas,
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
was
the
potential
expansion
of
the
Enterprise
Zone.
K
If
you
remember
back
in
the
80s
when
early
when
the
Enterprise
Zone
was
first
established,
it
was
established
for
the
you
know
in
order
to
try
to
bring
jobs
here
and
to
try
to
get
business
to
come
here
and
locate
here,
and
it
worked,
I
mean
without
the
Enterprise
Zone.
We
wouldn't
have.
You
know
different
manufacturing
facilities
that
are
here
different
distribution
facilities
that
are
here
and
while
we
did
give
some
tax
incentive
benefits
in
order
to
get
them
here.
K
Those
companies
have
been
here,
hiring
people
and
paying
now
the
full
load
of
their
real
estate
taxes
over
the
past
25
30
years-
and
you
know,
Kankakee
County-
has
turned
into
a
you
know,
a
county
that
you
know
had
no
jobs
to
a
county
that
now
has
more
jobs
than
we
have
people
to
fill
them,
and
that's
a
good
thing.
So
we're
looking
at
the
idea.
K
Is
it
possible
to
maybe
use
those
same
type
of
benefits
in
order
to
try
to
stimulate
the
housing
market,
and
so
we
worked
with
the
different
communities
to
see
if
they
had
any
interest.
Kankakee
County
has
two
Enterprise
zones,
and
this
is
only
affecting
one
Enterprise
Zone.
It's
the
Kankakee
County
Enterprise
Zone,
which
consists
of
moments:
Manteno
Grant,
Park,
Hopkins
Park
in
the
county
of
Kankakee,
and
we've
gone
around
to
each
one
of
those
communities
and
talked
to
them
about
the
possibility
of
expanding
the
Enterprise
Zone.
K
Not
only
the
area,
but
also
the
benefits
that
the
benefits
that
were
being
received
by
the
manufacturers
to
potentially
be
able
to
be
received
by
the
Home
Builders
and
the
homeowners
who
buy
new
homes
and
the
idea
was
met
pretty
well.
We've
gone
to
all
these
different
communities
get
done
presentations
right
as
of
right
now,
moments,
Mantino
and
Hopkins
Park
have
approved
the
expansion
on
the
Enterprise
Zone.
It's
here,
obviously
to
the
county
today
for
your
review
and
approval,
and
then
it's
going
to
be
voted
on
next
Monday
night
in
Grant
Park.
K
If
it's
approved,
what
this
will
do
is
it'll
give
the
economic
incentive
for
people
to
build
new
homes,
there'll
be
no
sales
tax
on
the
building
materials
that
they
purchase
for
the
new
homes,
they'll
be
reduced
or
potentially
no
building
permit
fees
for
the
new
homes
that
they
build
and
the
real
estate
tax.
This
could
be
laddered
in
over
the
course
of
five
or
six
years,
depending
on
each
municipality
and
how
each
one
of
them
wants
to
arrange
it.
K
But
it's
an
idea
that
just
you
know
it
worked
for
the
manufacturing
and
worked
to
bring
jobs
here
it
worked
for
that
sector.
We
were
hoping
that
we
could
potentially
take
it.
You
know,
take
it
to
another
level
and
use
it
for
residential
to
see
if
it
would
work
to
try
to
stimulate
the
residential
Market.
One
thing
that
is
nice
is
if,
for
some
reason
it
doesn't
work,
it
also
doesn't
cost
us
anything.
You
only
give
sales
tax
abatement
on
products
that
are
bought.
K
So
if
people
don't
come
here
and
don't
buy
anything,
it
doesn't
cost
us
anything
to
do
it.
If
they
don't
come
here
and
get
building
permits,
it
doesn't
cost
us
anything
to
give
them
a
free
building
permit
because
they're
not
doing
it,
and
we
also
have
realized
that
this
has
gone
on
now
for
almost
15
years.
So
it's
not
like.
We
went
through
a
little
cycle
as
you
know,
and
we're
going
to
come
back
and
it's
going
to
kick
back
in.
You
know
right
now.
The
15-year
cycle
is,
you
know,
nothing's
really
been
changing.
K
We
have
just
not
been
building
many
homes
and
we're
using
this
to
try
to
entice
a
potential
larger
Builders
to
come
in
here
and
develop
communities
and
develop.
You
know
areas
where
we
can
turn
some
of
our
commuters
that
are
coming
in
here,
taking
our
jobs
and
turn
them
into
residence,
and
that's
why
this
process
has
been
started.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
and
I
guess
it's
very
important
to
know
when
we
were
tasked
with
this.
This
came
out
of
a
few
meetings
with
the
economic
alliance
with
our
executive
committee
and
talk
about
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
housing?
How
are
we
going
to
react
to
companies
saying
people
come
to
want
to
come
work
here,
but
they
don't
have
anywhere
to
live
our
vacancy
rates
super
low,
and
so
how
do
we
make
housing
available?
J
And
so
out
of
that
we
started
pitching
this
idea,
and
one
of
the
things
chairman
wheeler
brought
forward
was
the
idea
that
what
about
not
just
new
housing
and
what
about
addressing
some
of
our
vacancy
issues
within
our
community
and
so
the
planning
staff
at
that
time
took
on
to
address
vacancy
within
the
county.
So
we've
done
a
survey
and
assessment
of
vacant
properties
vacant's
a
very
interesting
term,
but
we're
talking
about
properties
that
dilapidated,
ordered
up
don't
appear
to
have
somebody
living
there.
J
If
somebody
owns
and
pays
the
taxes
and
just
doesn't
live
there,
that's
not
a
vacancy
we're
talking
about
properties
that
need
to
be
addressed
and
properties
that
potentially
could
be
converted.
So
a
second
component
of
this
outside
of
new
construction
is
the
idea
that,
if
you
expend
50
of
the
value,
the
current
fair
market
value
of
the
property
in
Redevelopment
costs,
you
could
also
qualify.
So
you
know
flip
is
not
a
four-letter
word.
J
So
it's
50
of
the
current
fair
market
value
of
the
property
expended
in
renovation
costs
would
trigger
this.
So
what
we
do
not
want
is
any
time
anybody
within
the
Enterprise
Zone
buys
anything
for
their
home
to
be
incorporated
a
one
section
of
new
gutter.
We
don't
want
an
Enterprise
own
application
for
that.
We
want
it
to
be
impactful,
so
we
chose
50,
because
that
is
a
standard
that
we
utilize
for
redevelopment
costs
within
the
IRC
and
IBC.
J
It's
what
we
use
for
flood
plain
numbers,
so
we
essentially
take
the
value
of
the
structure,
and
if
you
invest
more
than
half
of
that
back
into
that
structure,
you
would
get
the
incentive
the
same
way.
You
would,
if
you
had
a
vacant
lot
and
wanted
to
build
a
new
home.
So
it's
a
way
to
kind
of
spur
two-fold
housing
within
Kankakee
County.
We
hope
that
it'll
build
our
new
housing
stock
availability.
J
It
entice
a
Regional,
International
Builder,
give
them
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
to
to
come
into
our
community
because
they've
been
relatively
reluctant
I
know.
Some
of
you
have
seen
the
billboard
when
Ryan
was
in
town.
Ryan
was
working
on
some
takeout
they're
they're
no
longer
doing
that
that
project,
because
they're
the
margins
aren't
there
for
them,
and
so
this
would
allow
that
little
bit
of
margin.
We
think
but
also
allow
people
to
get
into
housing
from
from
an
affordable
housing
standpoint.
J
It
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
a
new
2,
000
square
foot
home,
and
so
when
we
looked
at
our
map-
and
this
is
what
I
want
to
point
out
to
the
group-
the
gray
area
with
the
red
hash
on
the
on
the
map
is
the
current
Enterprise
Zone.
And
so
we
worked
with
each
of
the
jurisdictions
it's
the
Hopkins
Park
area.
J
So
we
worked
with
the
the
Mayor
Hopkins
Park
and
said
what
areas
are
currently
subdivided
with
lots
that
have
water
and
sewer
available
or
close
to
adjacent
that
you
think
you
would
want
to
add,
and
the
mayor
came
back
and
we've
done
several
iterations
of
this
map.
But
this
is
the
final
where
you
know
the
mayor
said:
hey
this
area,
you
know
our
Zone
would
be
great
and
if
you
want
to
roll
to
the
next
one
Kelly,
so,
okay,
that's
Grant.
Park.
J
J
So
that
way
we
could
add
all
of
the
acreage
we
wanted
to
add,
and
the
mayor
very
graciously
said
you
know
we'll
remove
some
area
from
North
Manteno
just
to
get
this
project
rolling.
So
that
way
the
other
communities
involved
can
have
additional
acreage.
Since
that
happened,
we
have
a
fifth.
We
had
a
15
mile
cap
when
we
started
this
project.
J
The
state
has
extended
that
to
a
20
square
mile
cap,
so
we
have
an
additional
3
35
3
500
Acres,
available
to
us,
so
we
we
will
be
able
to
if,
if
new
projects
come
up,
add
new
territory.
I
will
say
this.
Typically,
what
we
would
do
is
delete
territory
in
one
area.
We
want
using
it
in
ad
territory
if
we
needed
it.
We
can
always
have
that
flexibility,
but
this
additional
five
square
miles
just
gives
us
even
more
flexibility
in
the
Manteno
area.
J
There
are
other
areas
that
have
already
been
brought
up
to
our
attention,
so
this
is
a
an
ever-evolving
thing.
We
really
hope
that
this
works.
Frankly,
we
really
hope
this
works
in
the
county,
Enterprise
Zone.
We
hope
that
the
river
valley
enter
president
would
be
able
to
adopt
it
at
some
point,
but
this
is
kind
of
our
snapshot
in
time
of
what
the
map
is.
J
This
is
what
went
to
the
hearing
and
and
the
goal
for
us
is
to
offer
a
variety
of
housing
stock
for
people
using
a
tool
that
we
used
very
well
to
develop
commercial
development,
commercial
Industrial,
Development
and
use
it
just
for
residential.
It's
it's
not
that
foreign
from
a
state
standpoint.
Other
communities
are
getting
into
this
one
of
the
first
Enterprise
zones.
A
Alrighty,
so
it
questions
from
the
group.
I
just
want
to
remind
those
in
pza.
They
remember
the
maps
that
had
all
the
red
dots
on
it
where
we
went
around
the
county
and
looked
for
the
either
abandoned
or
distressed
or
again
the
vacant
first
defining
vacant.
What
does
that
mean?
You
know
so
we're
those
that's
how
we
built
a
lot
of
this
area
of
where
is
the
opportunity
for
Workforce
housing?
A
That's
in
the
rural
areas,
because,
as
mentioned
the
river
valley
is,
is
not
which
is
kinky,
Bradley,
Bourbonnais,
correct
and
Hershey
is
and
her
sure
they're
not
participating
in
this.
It's
just
these
other
areas
that
we
have
mentioned.
So
where
can
we
have
the
biggest
impact
one
question
I
had
before
we
go
to
the
group
is:
can
you
use
C
Pace
on
residential,
or
is
that
only
on
Multi.
A
Pace
is
an
incentive
we
voted
in
here
for
Energy
Efficiency
and
it
pays
it's
basically
like
a
self-imposed
assessment
on
your
property,
where
you
access,
lower
Capital
access
to
Capital
lower
than
Banks
can
give
you
basically
for
energy,
efficient
type,
roofs
windows,
that
kind
of
stuff
it
fills
out
a
capital
stack.
So
that's
why
I
asked
now,
if
someone's
coming
in,
to
do
10
of
these
yeah.
J
This
is
this
is
a
concerted
effort
where,
where
everybody's
looking
to
to
see,
how
do
we
fix
this
Regional
kind
of
national
housing
crisis?
How
do
we
address
this
lack
of
available
housing
stock?
In
so
many
different
tranches?
I
mean
we're
talking
about
the
south
of
a
hundred
thousand
to
north
of
350.
000
were
missing
in
all
markets,
and
so
how
do
we
address?
J
And
it's
it's
a
hard,
it's
a
hard
single
tool
to
make,
and
this
is
why
we
have
a
lot
of
team
members
involved
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
conversations
about
this,
but
this
one
we
would
like
to
again
get
get
past
here.
Final
passage
for
Grant
Park
on
Monday
and
then
submittal
to
the
state
of
Illinois
for
their
approval,
questions.
L
M
J
We
have
a
couple
lists
that
the
city
that
originated
with
the
city
that
we
got
through
Dr
Crawford
at
the
land
bank,
I,
don't
believe
we
have
the
full
list
again.
It
depends
on
how
you
define
it's
been
a
problem.
Vacancy
Ida
defines
it
differently
than
we
Define
it
yeah.
The
our
list
that
we're
working
off
of
is
a
county-wide
list
for
non-municipality
properties.
That's
the
one
that
Dell
and
his
team
put
together
in
driving
around
and
making
sure
we
had.
J
Every
I
mean
we
were
going
through
and
Crossing
off
sections
on
the
map
to
make
sure
we
covered
every
every
stretch
of
the
county,
and
it
took
us
quite
a
bit
of
time.
To
put
it
together.
We
do
not
have
I,
wouldn't
say
I
would
say
we
do
not
have
a
a
comprehensive
list
from
the
city
just
and
for
for
maybe
a
two-minute
aside,
because
this
Zone
does
not
have
a
single
parcel
in
the
city
of
Kankakee.
J
In
order
to
add
any
Parcels,
we'd
have
to
add
the
city
of
Kankakee
and
and
the
the
bigger
part
of
that
is.
No
two
zones
can
cross,
so
any
area
within
the
Kankakee
Zone
would
have
to
be
deleted
and
added
from
the
river
valley,
Zone
and
added
to
the
county
zone.
So
I
think
that
our
our
efforts
here
is
to
put
together
I,
don't
want
to
say
a
pilot,
because
we
think
this
really
can
work.
J
We
put
together
our
program,
we
let
everybody
see
how
it's
working
and
then
we
make
a
pitch
again
in
a
year
or
18
months
to
the
the
river
valley,
Zone
to
say:
hey,
you
know:
do
you
want
to
build
an
extra
100
homes
that
you
didn't
build
last
year,
because
that's
what
we
did
and
then
they
would
be
allowed
to
take
on
and
then
I
would
be
back
here
as
we're
a
member
of
that
zone
as
well
doing
doing
this
presentation
again.
Okay,.
M
Thank
you
and
my
second
question
with
resp,
yeah
and
I
appreciate
all
the
incentives
that
are
being
provided
with
the
Enterprise
Zone,
but
another
question
that,
with
respect
to
strategies
and
initiatives
that
you're
trying
to
pursue
regarding,
do
you
have
any
developers
in
mind
or
have
they
been
coming
forward?
Anything
on
the
wedding
list
in
terms
of
Developers
for
macro
projects,
we've.
J
Spoken
with
a
regional
and
two
Nationals,
we've
had
them
in
the
alliance
office
to
talk
through
kind
of
how
you
Mass
properties
and
I
will
tell
you
one
of
the
biggest
obstacles
we've
seen
from
them.
Is
you
have
to
be
north
of
150
available
parcels
in
order
to
make
it
work,
and
then
they
don't
really
want
to
be
building
the
roads
at
this
point,
and
we
didn't
have
the
tool
when
we
spoke
with
them.
As
far
as
trying
to
to
subsidize
some
of
that
front-end
expense.
J
The
mayor
has
been
very
involved
in
some
of
these
developments
over
the
years
where
I
mean,
if
you're
spending
a
million
dollars
before
you
can
sell
the
first
lot
and-
and
you
know
so,
they're
they're
having
trouble
with
that.
You
know
that's
as
an
example
Ryan
likes
to
build
by
an
existing
neighborhood
when
we
had
Scott
down
from
Ryan.
J
He
said
that's
great,
but
if
you
give
me
50
Lots
by
the
time,
I,
essentially
Market
myself
and
get
my
projects
rolling,
I've
run
out
of
lots,
and
then
you
know
like
that:
that's
the
energy
we
spend.
We
need
to
then
sell
that
other
100
Lots
once
that
ball
is
rolling,
and
so
we
need
to
be
able
to
mass
because
they're
going
to
want
to
build
50
homes
a
year
when
they
come
in.
They
want
to
do
150
over
three
and
that's
the
type
of
you
know
gravity
they
need.
J
In
order
to
make
that
you
know
coming
to
town
make
sense
they
need
yeah.
They
need
to
make
the
money,
obviously,
but
getting
some
of
those
incentives
in
place
to
help
them
with
defraying
some
of
that
cost
of
of
subdividing
land.
We
have
some
available
property
within
our
community,
but
we
don't
have
what
the
some
of
the
western
burbs
saw,
where
you
just
had
swaths
of
lots
with
the
sticks,
sticking
out
of
them
and
nobody
to
build
on
them,
and
so
they're
they're,
going
through
those
properties
and
doing
projects
like
that.
N
A
O
J
We
tried
to
pick
areas
that
we
thought
made
sense
from
an
infrastructure
standpoint
from
a
contiguity
standpoint.
We
didn't
want
to
add
stuff
that
was
too
far
out
right,
I
mean
I
haven't
had
a
direct
conversation.
Maybe
the
mayor
said
more
conversations
about
this,
but
I
haven't
you
know,
cornered
somebody
to
say:
hey.
Are
you
willing
to
build
200
homes
on
your
your
property,
but
they're
there
there
seems
to
be
a
willingness
to
to
sell
property
for
development
in
in
the
Manteno
area.
J
I
I
haven't
seen
many
roadblocks
as
it
relates
to
I,
can
tell
you
on
the
industrial
side.
When
we
we
meet
with
people,
we
say
we
need
X
number
of
Acres.
Typically,
we
can
find
acreage
available
in
those
areas
that
are
that
are
willing
sellers.
Some
of
them
are
already
listed
for
sale
with
Brokers
too
so.
O
In
other
words,
if
you
have
someone
come
in
there,
that's
willing
to
build
150
homes,
let's
say
or
200.
How
does
the
inner
structure
happen,
then?
Is
that
something
that
they
go
back
to
the
city
with
and
say
we
need
help?
Is
there
going
to
be
an
extra
tax
or
how
does
that
all
work
I
mean
to
build
a
subdivision?
You
need
Road
sidewalks,
sewer
electricity,
everything.
So
how
does
that
work
after
someone
comes
in
and
says
they
want
to
build
200
homes.
J
So
we've
a
developer:
when
we
get
this
live,
we
call
the
national
we
bring
them
to
town.
We
say
we
have
these
Parcels
available
at
thirty
five
thousand
forty
thousand
an
acre,
here's
the
the
plan
that
was
proposed
in
2003
that
never
came
to
fruition
because
we
have
some
of
those
preliminary
preliminary
plants
they
would
have
to.
You
know,
look
at
their
costs
on
that.
We
would
say:
here's
our
incentives
on
on
the
finished
product,
not
necessarily
on
the
infrastructure
side
of
it.
J
We
would
potentially
be
able
to
incentivize
them
on
sales
tax,
on
billing
materials
for
all
public
infrastructure.
They
shouldn't
be
paying
taxes
on
to
build
roads,
and
then
they
would
be
able
to
then
even
build
the
home,
which
formerly
nobody
has
done
locally
with
that
with
that
incentive
as
well,
and
that
that
we
hope
that
margin
makes
it
a
little
easier
for
them
to
stomach
that
investment
on
and
then
I
mean
frankly
locally.
The
banks
are
scared,
I
mean
in
there
and
rightfully
so
they
don't
loan
out.
J
J
We
worked
when
I
was
at
a
former
stop
at
the
time.
It
was
Lennar
and
we
did
150
in
three
years
and
they
were
able
to
capitalize
it
and
they
were
the
only
ones
the
local
Builders
just
couldn't
get
the
banks
to
lend
them
the
million
to
or
whatever
it
was
going
to
take
to
finish
the
road,
Water
and
Sewer.
So
really
it's
about
getting
the
tool
in
place
and
then
being
able
to
appropriately
sell
it.
I
can
tell
you
they
were
telling
us.
H
Have
a
lot
of
this
in
my
districts,
probably
one
of
probably
most
not
anybody.
I
did
a
lot
of
research
on
this
and
I
was
excited
when
I
saw
how
areas
respond
most
Builders
come
to
town,
they
come
from
somewhere
else.
They
bring
their
guys
from
somewhere
else
and
they
buy
the
material
somewhere
else
doesn't
really
help
Mom
very
much,
but
they
start
buying
concrete
and
asphalt.
Lumber
Windows
things
like
that
locally
within
the
county
here
and
you
got
all
your
lumber.
H
Companies
that
accelerate
all
local
businesses
have
to
hire
more
people
to
deliver
materials
and
supplies,
and
it
really
seems
to
really
work
out
really
well,
if
you
put
it
on
paper.
So
when
I
wasn't
a
proponent
at
first
I
went
to
a
meeting
and
I
got
informed
and
I
did
my
homework
and
I
really
think
it's
a
good
idea
for
the
areas
that
we
had
marked
and
at
one
time
we
had
3
500
Lots
Mr
Nugent.
We
had
3
500
Lots
on
the
books
in
Manteno
at
one
time
didn't
we
well.
K
You
know,
and-
and
those
are
kind
of
the
lands
that
we
are
trying
to
add
to
this
Enterprise
zone
is
the
ones
you
know
immediately
surrounding
the
community.
Like
Ben
said
we
don't
want
to
go
too
far
out,
so
the
ones
that
had
there
was
interest
in
back
in
2007
2008.
We
want
to
add
those
properties
in
anticipation
that
you
know,
eventually,
maybe
somebody
will
come
and
want
to
do
something
there
again.
K
You
know
that
the
whole
the
whole
landscape
for
home
construction
has
changed,
I
mean
you
know
back
15,
20
years
ago
there
was
a
lot
of
local
builders
that
were
building.
You
know
five
ten
homes,
those
people
are
for
the
most
part
out
of
business,
I
mean
if
you
don't
get
a
large
Builder
coming
in
doing
you
know
a
development
other
than
that
you
you've
got
a
handful
of
Builders
throughout
the
whole
County
that
are
building.
You
know
five
ten
homes
a
year,
so
you
got
to
have
some
incentive
to
attract
those.
K
H
K
Think
it
applies
it
does,
it
does
apply,
you
don't
pay
sales
tax,
it's
just
that.
Let's
say
somebody
bring
buys
their
Lumber
in
Cook
County.
They
don't
pay
sales
tax
in
Cook
County,
but
so
I
mean
we
don't
lose
anything
because
of
it,
because
we're
not
getting
it
anyway
right,
you
wouldn't
have
got
it
anyway,
right.
J
Into
that
before,
yeah
there
so
the
way
the
exemption
is
structured,
it's
a
it's
a
sales
and
use
tax,
so
any
jurisdiction
in
which
we
have
reciprocal
use
tax,
which
the
state
would
collect.
6.25.
We
don't
get
any
use
tax.
We
get
that
on
our
backside,
formulaic,
but
the
it's
it's
tax
exempt.
So
if
you're
obligated
to
pay
sales
tax
or
use
tax
in
Illinois,
it's
example,
it
doesn't
matter
if
you
buy
it,
50
counties
away,
it's
just
exempt
from
that
activity,
and-
and
that's
the
that
that's
just
the
way.
J
It's
structured,
there's
not
a
way
for
anybody
to
say,
but
we
want
to
not
do
this
or
that
it's
a
it's
an
entitled
benefit
where
everyone
would
get
it
and
that's
actually
why
it
works.
So
well
in
that
it's
not
picking
and
choosing
anybody
who
wants
to
use
this
if
you're
in
those
areas.
If
you're
in
that
yellow
area
that
red
area,
you
will
be
able
to
utilize
this
to
improve
property
values
that
will
improve
our
tax
base
and
we'll
move
forward
with
more
taxes.
So,
fundamentally,
we
give
up
a
little
bit.
J
A
That's
one
of
the
I
mean
I
think
that's
what
we're
going
at
spread
the
tax
base
out,
instead
of
piling
more
on
the
current
people
that
are
paying
taxes.
That's
the
the
numbers
that
we're
trying
to
impact
here.
It's
not
that
we
want
people
to
come
experience,
Kankakee,
County
and
all
the
glories
found
within
that's
part
of
it,
but
it's
also
to
spread
the
tax
base
out.
So
it's
not
so
much
lumped
on
those
that
are
paying
them.
So
any
other
questions,
Mr
Hunter.
Second
time.
J
J
So
as
it
relates
to
this,
when
we
do
our
development
long
in
our
long-range
Transportation
plan,
we
have
three
buckets
for
road
development
and
I'm,
just
gonna
work
on
tier
one.
We
look
at
those
and
grade
those
projects
and
we
utilize
development
opportunities
as
a
component
of
the
score.
So,
if
somebody's
proposing
a
large
development,
we
would
use
that
in
our
our
scoring
process
and
then
that
project
then
moves
up
or
down
related
to
that
as
a
component
of
their
score.
J
They
get
scored
on
capacity
and
congestion
and
safety
and
all
of
these
other
things,
but
we
do
utilize
development
as
a
component
of
our
score.
So
it's
not
a
large
component,
but
I
would
say
as
we
look
to
developing
these
areas.
Well,
we
don't.
We
don't
want
to
invest
a
ton
in
infrastructure
on
the
public
side
to
make
a
development
happen
too
far
from
town.
We
don't
want
to
build
a
road
to
service,
a
single
subdivision.
J
We
want
a
subdivision
to
be
directly
adjacent
to
town
or
to
be
on
an
existing
Road
and
that
becomes
a
water
conversation,
a
sewer
conversation,
a
natural
gas
conversation,
electricity,
conversation,
Broadband
conversation
where,
ideally,
the
developments
are
happening
where
we
have
existing
infrastructure,
and
so
that's
why
we
looked
when
we
we
did
this
map.
When
we
talked
to
the
titles
we
said,
what
do
you
got
and
they
said?
Oh,
you
know
one
block
away
from
where
we
currently
are.
We
really
like
more
development
and
that
made
great
sense
to
us.
J
They
just
extend
the
road
a
little
bit
and,
and
then
their
police
and
their
fire
and
their
water
and
their
sewer
are
serving
that.
So
we're
not
really
using
from
an
mpo
standpoint,
a
lot
of
development
as
a
big
part
of
the
score,
we're
more
focused
on
safety,
congestion
reduction
and
upcoming
greenhouse
gas
reduction.
A
A
A
Do
you
have
a
motion
to
approve
Mr
Hess
was
the
on
the
motion,
the
second
Mr
Fairfield,
any
questions
about
this
we're
just
continuing
on
through
the
whole
legislative
session
we
did
a
tow
dip
in
the
water
with
our
lobbyist.
We
had
very
good
results,
so
we
were
going
to
continue
on
with
the
current
legislator
group.
So
as
any
questions,
yes,
sir.
P
P
E
P
You
now
SAQ
is
the
acronym
that
stands
for
what,
because
I'm
when
I
read
through
this,
it
doesn't
let
if
somebody
else
was
to
look
at
this
we're
talking
acronyms,
but
they
don't
know
what
that
is
that
what
it
is
so
for
the
record
we
can
State
what
SAQ
is
I
do
know
it's
a
lot
of
group
that
helps
us
or
whatever
the
problem.
The
the
problem
that
I'm
focusing
on
is
that
and
when
you
get
to
the
month
past,
the
chairman
and
Willow
doesn't
need
to
be
paid
within.
P
A
E
Got
to
resolve
this
well,
the
consultant
is
SAQ
Consulting,
that's
a
corporation
that
serves
as
the
lobbyist
and
the
consultant
for
the
county
and
they're
the
ones
that
were
approved
approximately
I
think
six
months
ago,
the
CO
as
far
as
the
compensation
goes,
they
get
paid
four
thousand
dollars
a
month.
They
give
a
statement
each
month
and
then
the
the
they're
due
to
be
paid.
E
That's
I'm
not
sure
what
the
I'm
not
sure
what
the
agreement
was
if
it's
30
or
45
days,
I'm
assuming
it's
I'm,
assuming
it's
30
days,
so
that
the
the
agreement
should
be
amended
in
that
the
designee
will
be
paid
within
30
days
and
within
the
parentheses
that
should
be
stricken
instead
of
45.
It
should
be
30..
Thank
you.
A
Do
we
have
the
the
the
sheet
that
had
all
the
estimates
in
their
packet?
Okay,
you,
you
all,
should
have
the
estimates
in
your
packet
now
this
was
run
by
the
courts,
so
you
see
the
increases
there
and
it
is,
you
know.
Obviously,
it's
not
substantial
in
terms
of
a
overall
budget,
but
it
is
an
increase
and
then
so
you
know
what
we're
doing
here.
So
any
questions
about
those
numbers.
A
It
would
take
effect
on
the
first
of
the
new
budget
year
as
to
not
impact
this
year's
budget,
because
we've
already
got
we'd
have
to
do
budget
amendments
and
all
that
other
stuff
this
year.
This
would
just
take
take
effect,
I
believe
on
the
first
of
December.
That's
what
it
is
yeah,
that's
what
it
should
be
any
questions.
Oh,
please,
all
righty,
you
probably
should
do
a
roll
call
vote.
Mr.
B
D
A
Aye
Mr
carries
under
arpa
lost
Revenue
on
the
consent
side.
We
could
get
all
the
titles
right
into
the
record,
I
believe
and
then
we
could
run
through
each
one,
Voice
vote
them
and
then
roll
call.
The
whole
thing
together
is
that
okay,
so
we're
not
roll
calling
every
single
time.
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it
all
right.
If
we
could,
we
read
that
whole
section
under
even
under
Social
Services.

A
So
again,
it
would
be
a
motion
to
combine
and
approve
we'll
go
through
Mr
Hunter.
Second,
with
Mr
law,
we'll
go
with
Ms
Foster
on
this
one
you've
already
had
one
there
so
we'll
go
through
and
either
approve
disapprove.
Whatever
we
vote
for
individually
with
a
Voice
vote
and
then
whatever's
left
we'll
do
roll
call,
because
we're
spending
money
any
questions
about
that.
Okay,.
A
A
P
P
P
P
A
P
A
Alrighty
we
haven't
ridden
the
record.
We
have
a
motion
to
combine
and
approve
that
is
in
control
of
the
floor.
So
the
first
one
is
the
County
highway
department.
Steve
is
here
in
case
there's
any
questions,
but
you
see
in
your
packet
that
that
is
the
for
the
traffic
signals
on
the
Armor
Road
Project,
so
the
the
Opticon.
So
they
can
turn
the
the
flashing
lights
on.
That's
part
of
what
we're
doing
and
that's
out
of
arpa.
A
The
second
item,
which
has
been
in
the
record
right
in
the
record:
it's
the
Animal
Control
building
and
we
need
a
motion
to
approve
this
one
to
start
with,
we'll
go
with
Miss
Weber
and
Miss
Monday
with
a
second
that
has
been
clearly
laid
out
in
the
committee
meeting.
We've
talked
with
board
members
who
have
met
with
me
individually.
A
The
consensus
was
that
to
use
the
non-property
tax
derived
Revenue,
that
we
got
from
covid
money
basically
found
money
to
cover
off
the
cost
overruns
in
terms
of
Labor
and
in
materials
that
everybody's
experiencing.
So
that
was
the
general
gist
of
this
is
to
a
cover
for
that,
and
then
we
should
see
no
more
adjustments.
We
have
the
contingencies
you
know
taken
care
of,
so
we
have
money
in
there
in
case
we
like,
we
said
we
run
into
something
in
the
ground.
We
got
to
remove
within
reason.
A
L
P
P
P
P
Meetings
here
the
question
is,
why
do
we
need
an
additional
million
or
a
plus
when
we
already
have,
and
we
say
that
it
was
not
going
to
ever
cost
any
more
than
the
1.5
million?
No,
we
didn't.
Oh,
yes,
we
did.
We
say
this
cost.
It
was
saving
the
taxpayer
dollars
and
I'll
go
back
and
review
your
communication
to
this
particular
board
when
we
were
saving
the
taxpayers
dollars
by
going
through
offer-
and
we
did
in
those
those
cost
is
1.5
million
from
the
Opera
fund
and
the
rest
will
be
coming
from
the
fees.
P
A
P
No,
it
should
have
been
the
first
time
it
was
two
questions
or
whatever.
If
this
money
is
coming
out,
I
of
any
Opera
funds
until
the
other
individuals
that
we've
already
approved
have
been
paid
I
will
be
reserving
any
type
of
vote
and
voting.
No
until
such
time
as
we
pay
the
individuals
that
we
have
already
approved
in
the
past
that
hasn't
gotten
one
dime.
Have
you
read?
Did
you.
A
P
I
did
I,
went
to
the
people
themselves
and
I
said
354
million
of
354
000.
You
claim
you
gave
the
nwacp
when
these
people
referred.
They
keep
telling
me.
I
ain't
got
one
dime.
We
don't
have
the
money
to
spend.
I
said
we
approved
it
in
March
on
March
14th.
We
still
haven't
received
it
four
months
later.
So
yes,
I
did
do
my
due
diligence.
A
P
A
H
Q
Funds
we
get
up
to
four
calculations
one
a
year.
We
use
our
annual
completed
audit
to
to
do
the
calculations.
This
is
number
three:
it
moves
from
the
the
arpa
funds
over
to
Lost
revenue
and
it
doesn't
restrict.
It
actually
opens
up
the
money
as
far
as
what
the
board
can
use
it
for,
and
so
this
is
number
three
transfer
number
three
that
we've
done
since
the
beginning.
When
startup
funds
arrived
there'll.
A
Okay,
so
we
need
a
motion.
Mr
eckoff,
a
second
Miss
Parker,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye.
Those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
it's
more
of
a
functionary
step.
The
last
item:
New
Vision
food
pantry.
It's
been
right
in
the
record.
You
have
the
information
in
your
packet,
so
we'll
start
with
a
motion
to
approve
and
I'll
start
with
Mr.
We
have
to
get
a
motion
on
the
floor.
First
motion
to
approve
Miss
Andrade.
Second
Miss
Foster,
Mr
Hunter.
Do
you
have
a
question.
M
D
R
A
Correct
naac
is
part
of
this
because
they
are
data
certified
there
needs
to
be
a
data
certified
partner
in
the
Endeavor.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we
tried
to
get
those
folks
partnering
with
smaller
folks,
as
far
as
in
terms
of
organizations
Charities
to
partner
on
these
types
of
projects,
any
other
questions
for
Mr,
McCarty,
Mr,
Snipes,.
P
I
know
that
we
approved,
if
it's
someone
who
doesn't
feel
like
it's
on,
but
I
guess
it
is
now
in
March
14th.
This
County
Board
voted
for
7
500
with
the
Morningstar
7
500,
with
New
Vision.
As
far
as
rental
assistance
was
concerned,
and
then
it
was
51
000
in
the
food
pantry.
Now
that
was
approved
by
this
County
Board
under
the
whatever
that
current
contract
was,
which
meant
that
that
money
should
have
been
distributed
to
them.
P
Now
we
have
a
amended
motion
which
it
comes
four
months
later,
so
these
people
who
are
going
through
the
summer
as
far
as
the
food
is
concerned,
it's
coming
out
the
pockets
of
the
of
the
church
and
other
folks
donations
that
they
receive
and
and
they're
five
once
103
entity.
So
the
supplemental
food,
even
though
they
feed
them
all
year,
is
definitely
during
the
summer,
because
kids
are
out
of
school.
So
from
March
of
when
we
approve
this,
they
should
have
had
a
check
by
April.
P
P
P
Have
not
got
money
so
we're
amending
the
resolution
four
months
later.
It
wasn't
done
in
April.
It
wasn't
done
in
May.
It
wasn't
done
in
June,
it's
now
before
us
in
July.
So
the
thing
is
they.
The
resources
have
not
been
expended
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
when
we
amend
this
contract
they're
getting
the
money,
that's
what
I'm
asking
for
so
that
the
people
can
be
benefited.
Q
Steve's,
like
hey
Mr,
McCarty's,
actually
Mr
Snipes
It's.
This
amendment
is
actually
more
beneficial
to
recipients.
The
original
resolution
said
reimbursement.
Yes,
it
made
them
spend
the
money
first
before
we
provided
the
money.
This
now
gives
them
half
of
the
food
up
front
on
this
23
and
then
the
second
half
in
24
22
000.
Q
P
F
A
P
D
D
Mr
snipe
to
your
vote.
Please
thank
you.
Mrs
Weber
aye
Mrs
Parker,
aye,
Mr,
Fairfield,
aye,
Mr,
Kirko,
aye,
Mr,
Echo,
aye,
Mr,
Swanson,
aye,
Mr,
featherling,
aye,
Mr,
Donnell,
Mr,
Miller,
aye,
Mr
long
aye,
Mr,
kirkstra,
hi,
Mr,
Hunter,
aye,
Mr,
Hildebrand,
Ms,
Foster,
aye,
Mrs,
Andrade,
aye,
Ms,
armor,
Mr,
Ashcraft,
hi,
Miss,
Monday,
aye,
Ms,
ripman,
Nick,
Emmy,
Mr,
Scanlon,
Miss,
Turner,
Mr,
Wheeler,
hi,.
A
Motion
carries
so
we
you
see
how
that
breaks
down,
look
forward
to
having
this
moving,
get
the
freezer
installed
and
and
that
I
will
call
out
its
food
and
food
service
so
that
people
know
that
if
you
know
there's
paper
plates
and
forks
and
serving
tins
because
they
do
hot
food.
That's
another
allowable
amendment
that
we
put
in
there
because
before
it
could
only
be
food,
Mr,
Hunter,
yeah,.
M
Just
to
clarify
some
things,
this,
this
County
Board,
the
chairman
members
of
the
evaluation
team
interfacing
with
the
NAACP
and
New
Vision,
ongoing
conversations
regarding
their
assistance,
I,
think
Mr
McCarty's
explanation
as
to
what
transpired
would
be
to
the
benefit
of
the
vision,
not
reimbursement,
not
reimbursement,
not
reimbursement.
You
may
recall
that
arpa
funds
were
utilized
for
existing
programs,
not
new
programs.
M
New
Vision
has
had
that
particular
program
for
some
period
of
time,
so
the
children,
the
people
and
the
community
have
not
gone
without
Foods
or
those
kind
of
services
which
we
have
approved
for
the
arpa
funds.
So
it's
a
misnomer
to
indicate
that
we
have
been
derelict
in
terms
of
providing
the
necessary
resources
to
New
Vision
in
NAACP.
M
There
have
been
countless
number
of
phone
calls
meetings,
discussions
regarding
the
assistance
that
has
been
provided
to
those
entities
that
we
just
approved
and
again
kudos
to
the
chairman
and
to
the
individuals
on
the
evaluation
team
and
the
members
of
the
NAACP
and
New
Vision
who
have
utilized
their
time
and
effort
to
provide
this
finished
product,
as
the
chairman
has
annotated
and
Mr
McCarty
has
indicated.
Thank
you
again.
D
S
Seven,
you
got
it
I,
don't
want
to
extend
our
meeting
any
more
than
we
have
to
here
today,
since
we've
gone
pretty
long,
but
I'd
like
to
introduce
an
idea.
You
know
my
wife
and
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
building.
That's
pictured
right
above
Mr
Wheeler's
head,
and
if
you
look
in
that
picture,
you
can
see
the
antennas
that
we
used
to
use
from
the
70s
on
that
building
and
the
framework
that
held
them.
S
I
would
like
to
introduce
an
idea
that
maybe
we
pass
on
to
the
historic
commission
or
our
building
and
grounds
people
about
removing
the
the
framework
that
used
to
hold
the
antennas
and
replacing
it
with
an
object.
It
could
be
a
flag,
it
could
be
a
Weather
Vein.
It
could
be
just
removing
the
framework
from
the
building,
and
you
know
just
to
improve
the
looks
they're
no
longer
used
for
the
framework.
There
are
no
antennas
or
radios
that
are
operating
in
the
courthouse.
A
Sounds
like
building
your
grounds
to
me
that
works
for
me,
chairman
we're
here
there.
So
I'll
put
the
courthouse
Dome
antenna,
okay,
framework
framework,
okay
and
then,
if
I
could,
would
it
be
okay
if
we
included
automatic
lighting,
so
we
can
change
the
colors
of
the
lighting
absolutely
by
flipping
a
switch.
Then,
instead
of
having
someone
go
change
all
the
light
bulbs
in
the
building
that.
A
B
B
Okay,
I
would
like
to
make
an
announcement
and
thank
the
board.
Ladies
on
the
County
Board
they're,
going
that
are
going
to
participate
in
the
fashion,
show
that
we're
trying
to
get
money
for
Harbor
House
and
that's
Mrs,
Andrade
Miss,
Monday
and
Mr
Snipes
he's
not
a
lady,
but
he's
going
to
help
us
with
the
fashion,
show
and
also
a
Mrs
Carol
Weber.

We'll
we'll
have
a
presence
there
for
job
opportunities,
E-Waste
and
I'll,
be
there
with
maps
of
the
the
the
dredging
area,
as
the
latest
Maps
should
I
say
so,
should
we'll
have
an
updating,
Highway
and
waterways
on
on
where
that's
at
right
now,
so
it
should
be
a
great
event.
Actually
backpacks
for
kids
I
mean
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
there.
A
P
P
Point
of
clarification
that
the
I
have
no
I
had
no,
because
problems
with
the
disbursement
I
had
a
problem
with
the
timing.
I
agree
with
Steve.
The
latter
part
was
great
Steve
McCarty
that
the
amendments
were.
The
members
were
great.
However,
thank
you.
The
timing
was
off.
We
should
not
have
waited
for
March.
We
did
hold
up
fundings
and
stuff
to
these
ages.
To
these
agencies
that
provide
funding
by
waiting
till
July,
we
should
have
did
it
in
April,
so
that
way
they
could
have
benefited
the.
