C
B

A
E
Thank
You
chairman
good
morning,
my
name
is
Stacy.
Wilkin,
like
chairman,
said
I've
been
here
a
few
times
so
I,
don't
think
I
need
to
reintroduce
myself
again
officially,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
the
destination
marketing
organization
for
Kankakee
County.
Our
organization
has
been
doing
it
since
1983,
so
we're
celebrating
our
36th
anniversary
this
year
really
grateful
for
the
opportunities
to
work
with
all
of
our
community
partners
to
continue
to
work
with
our
community
partners.
E
We
are
halfway
on
the
trek
to
renewing
the
agreement
with
the
six
participants
in
the
intergovernmental
agreement.
We've
passed
with
the
city
of
Kankakee
city
of
moments'
in
the
village
of
manteno.
We
had
a
good
discussion
with
Bradley
last
night
and
we'll
be
having
further
discussions
later
in
the
week,
but
for
today
I
just
would
ask
that
you
would
continue
to
support
us
and
work
on
our
behalf.
Thank
you.
Any
questions,
I
suppose
a
point.
A
F
Hi
I'm
Lynne
vos,
representing
Connect,
Kankakee
and
I'm
just
here
to
speak
to
you
all
on
the
topic
of
the
way
our
County's
been
making
money
off
of
detaining
immigrants
as
one
of
one
of
the
ways
we've
been
making
money
and
the
feedback
we've
had
from
you
guys
has
been
well
whether
or
not
we
agree
on
values
we
may
or
may
not.
But
economics
like
we
just
we
need
this
economic
piece
in
place.
We
need
to
make
money
as
a
county,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
new
growth.
F
That's
coming
into
our
County
I've
heard
it
announced
that
new
core
steel
and
CSL
bearing
are
both
bringing
in
a
lot
of
new
jobs,
thousands
of
new
jobs
coming
up
fairly
quickly.
So
that's
an
exciting
time
for
our
County,
with
lots
of
potential
new
revenue
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
one
we
would
love
our
County
to
be
a
welcoming
community
for
all
people
and
not
be
a
county.
F
That
is
detaining
people
as
a
way
of
making
money
and
to
the
new
revenue
coming
in
will
offer
a
lot
of
creative
opportunities
for
new
growth.
New
economic
opportunities
overall,
every
dollar
earned
in
our
County
there's
many
more
dollars
spent
and
we
can
look
at
all
people
as
potential
workers
and
there's
a
lot
more
money
to
be
made
off
of
a
workforce
than
there
is
in
detaining
people.
It's
like
a
boxed
in
revenue.
F
So,
just
on
the
positive
note,
there
is
new
opportunity
for
us
in
our
County
with
a
lot
of
potential
new
revenue,
it's
a
great
time
to
be
starting
to
think
outside
the
box
and
get
creative,
and
maybe
our
economics
can
match
our
values
so
I'm
hopeful
about
that.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
that
today.
Thank
you
thank.
G
Man,
good
you're
good
good
morning,
everybody,
the
Chairman,
asked
me
to
go
over
a
real,
quick,
the
best
practices
for
abstaining
from
a
vote.
That's
before
you
to
consider
your
county
code,
so
the
rules
of
the
house
so
to
speak,
prohibits
a
county
board
member
from
staying
from
a
vote
and
less
directly
interested
or
excused
by
the
county
board.
So
what
that
would
mean
is
if
you
do
have
a
direct
interest
or
a
reason
to
abstain,
get
a
hold
of
Andy
or
whoever
sit
in
the
chairs
position
before
the
votes
actually
taken.
G
It
confuses
the
issue
a
little
bit
if
it's
during
the
vote
itself,
and
that
obviously
makes
like
a
little
harder
if
we
have
to
go
back
and
fix
that
or
deal
with
it
through
our
office.
So
with
that
I
will
take
any
questions.
It's
relatively
straightforward.
It's
just
a
matter
of
reminding
the
board
of
their
own
procedures.
Mr.
A
A
A
To
vote,
unless
you
have
a
direct
conflict
and
those
direct
conflicts
has
to
be
voiced
to
the
chair
before
the
meeting.
It's
really
tough.
When
we
go
into
the
into
the
boat
and
then
you
say,
I
abstain,
because
then
we
have
to
stop.
You
have
to
explain
your
conflict
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
if
it's
not
a
conflict
like
if
it's
you
know,
I'm
friends
with
you
know
the
guys
cousins
landowner.
G
A
Consistency
is
kind
of
what
we're
talking
about
now.
So
that's
it!
It's
not
a
woodshed
type
thing.
You
know
it's
more
like
this.
We
kind
of
have
to
do
things
the
right
way,
so
so
anyway,
and
no
other
questions
on
that.
Okay,
under
presentations
I
have
the
proclamation
declaring
April
as
Child
Abuse
Prevention
Month.
We
could
read
that
into
the
record.
Please.
Mr.
Amerson.
C
Proclamation
of
the
Kankakee
County
Board
declaring
April
2019
as
child
abuse
prevention
month,
whereas
preventing
child
abuse
and
neglect
is
community
problem.
That
depends
on
involvement
among
people
throughout
the
community,
whereas
we
all
have
a
responsibility
as
individuals,
neighbors,
community
members
and
citizens
of
the
county
of
Kankakee
and
we're
as
safe
and
healthy
childhoods,
produced,
confident
and
successful
adults,
and
whereas
child
abuse
and
neglect
often
occurs
when
people
find
themselves
in
stressful
situations
without
community
resources
and
don't
know
how
to
cope.
C
Now,
therefore,
I
Andrew
H
wheeler
by
virtue
of
the
authority
vested
in
me
as
County
Board
Chairman
of
Kankakee
County
Illinois,
do
hereby
proclaim.
April
is
Child
Abuse,
Prevention,
Month
and
call
upon
all
citizens,
community
agencies,
faith
groups,
medical
facilities
and
businesses
to
increase
their
participation
in
our
efforts
to
support
families,
thereby
preventing
child
abuse
and
strengthening
the
communities
in
which
we
live.
A
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
proclamation
mr.
Cobb?
Second,

third
extension
to

agreement

County
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau.
C
A
G
A
Gonna
remove
67
and
vote
on
that
separately,
just
to
make
sure
we
do
our
business
correctly.
So
beyond
that
any
other
there's
a
motion
ii
agree
with
that
removal.
I
guess
probably
should
say:
okay,
thank
you.
I
explained
it.
Okay,
all
right!
So
yeah
we'll
do
67.
Next,
okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second.
That's
a
roll
call
vote
please.
Mr.
L
B
B
B
D
C
H
A
H
C
A
Right
so
by
way
of
explanation,
as
it
says
it's
the
third
extension
we
were,
this
was
the
one
where
the
CVB
was
asking.
If
the
communities
originally
would
allow
for
I
MRF
to
fund
the
pension
of
their
employees-
and
we
said
you
know-
everybody
knows-
I
had
an
issue
with
that.
Third,
they
weren't
part
of
a
public
entity,
and
you
know
we
talked
about
that.
So
we
with
the
state's
attorney's
office,
we
sent
an
opinion
or
asked
for
an
opinion
from
the
Attorney
General.
A
If
you
will
to
pool
all
all
of
that
money
and
to
spend
it
outside
of
this
area,
predominantly
obviously
they've
gotta
have
a
place
to
be,
and
things
like
that
you
know
to
house
their
operations,
but
it
just
allows
it
to
keep
going
until
you
know,
and
it's
the
same
terms,
it's
just
an
extension
of
what
currently
existed.
Well,
probably
four,
eight
nine
years
now
it
would.
A
A
They
weren't
going
to
renew,
and
so
the
CVB
did
fund
some
things
around
the
bears
camp
that
the
bear
is
required
or
asked
of
the
community
and
that's
kind
of
the
purpose
of
them
as
tourism
heads
and
highlight
our
events
in
the
area
so
typical
to
start
where
they
were,
which
is
really
kind
of
I
hate
to
say
it
almost
dysfunctional
they
weren't,
really
operating
well
as
a
unit
to
where
they
are
today
is,
is
a
true
shift
into
a
professional
organization.
Even
though
I
disagree
on
the
IRF
thing,
the
operations
are
running
with
it.
A
What
really
well
I
am
a
representative
from
this
board
that
I
could
report
that
back
to
you
that
they're
doing
what
they
should
be
doing
so
now
questions
just
a
motion.
Person
o
motion.
First
mister,
a
cough
second
miss
Dunbar.
Is
there
really
any
questions
about
the
agreement?
Any
misgivings?
Okay?
H
B
C
C
C
A
To
approve
to
start
with
mr.
altough
second,
mrs.
Peters
any
questions
about
this:
does
it's
been
kind
of
in
the
wings
waiting
until
we
got
everything
in
order
with
this?
This
is
one
where
FEMA
was
going
to
give
us
the
money
to
tear
the
structure
down
because
it
kept
flooding
out
repetitively
it.
This
is
the
one
I
believe
this
is
the
mouth
of
baker's,
Creek,
property,
I,
believe
and
so
it'll
just
be
tore
down
and
made
like
up.
You
can't
build
structures,
their
neighborhood
could
use
it.
What
we
own
it.
A
L
G
L
A
C
A
summary
of
the
bids
are
responsible
for
board
excavating
and
wrecking
company
incorporated
twenty
four
thousand
four
hundred
thirty
dollars.
Oakwood
enterprises
incorporated
thirty,
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
seventy
five
dollars.
Patrick
and
Ryan
incorporated
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
Scanlan
excavating
in
concrete
$27,500.
C
A
The
the
one
that
I
I
guess
to
be
be
aware,
though,
because
like
I'm
looking
at
mark
Rogers
right
now
and
as
his
eyes
browser
up
because
he
gets
lots
of
bids-
are
lots
of
stuff,
and
so
do
we
want
to
do
this
for
everything
you
see
my
point
I
hope,
because
we
could
sit
here
and
read
the
highway
ones
for
an
hour,
especially
when
they
do
their
auction
and
I'm
not
putting
on
the
spot,
but
I
mean
I
want
to
be
aware
of
what
you
guys
want
to
see.
I,
don't.
G
L
G
H
H
A
We
didn't
want
to
do
all
five,
because
at
the
time
we
had
already
been
stiffed,
isn't
the
right
word.
Yeah
stiffed
is
the
right
word
on
a
grand
for
the
courthouse
where
we
spent
the
money
and
then
the
money
didn't
come
when
they
changed
the
governor's
office.
So
in
that
we
didn't
want
the
same
thing
to
happen,
but
Adele
might
be
able
to
speak
to
that.
But
this
is
federal
money.
That's
passed.
A
I
G
A
A
E
A
You
know
it's
better
than
a
house
with
a
tree
through
the
roof.
That's
been
sitting
there
three
three
years,
but
so
any
other
comments
on
that
Dell
for
the
committee
there's
question
any
other
questions
for
Dell.
It's
been
a
long
process.
Yes,
he
finally
went
through
the
closing.
So
we
have
motion
and
second
all
right
that'll
be
a
roll
call
vote
on.

One
resident
opening
of
the
Kankakee
County
Housing
Authority
board,
one
opening
on
the
U
of
I
extension
committee
for
a
county
board
member
one
opening
on
the
CBA
and
one
opening
on
the
Kankakee
fire
protection
district
I
had
a
is
there
any
new
business
to
start
with
I
had
a
couple
on
the
actually.
Let
me
finish
up
some
old
business
here.
First,
the
first
thing
so
those
on
the
Community
Services
may
remember.
A
We
had
sent
some
of
the
states
attorney
about
the
swap
meet
and
the
opinion
came
back
and
Graham
could
opine
eloquently
on
that
chooses
to.
But
basically
we
have
no
jurisdiction
to
regulate
anything
outside
of
dogs
and
cats
in
the
county.
It's
disappointing
to
some
people,
but
it
was
one
of
those
things
where
we
had
that
suspicion.
But
we
wanted.
We
want
a
wag
to
be
the
animal
welfare
committee
to
be
a
functioning
committee
to
bring
things
to
community
services.
Their
needs
wants
and
desires
as
far
as
the
animal
community,
and
not
to
stifle
that.
A
So
we
went
through
the
process,
it
didn't
work
out
in
their
favor,
but
the
process
works
and
will
continue
to
go
down
that
path.
But
I
just
want
to
announce
it
to
everybody
that
it's
not
something
we
can
regulate.
It's
all
Department
of
Agriculture
on
animals
outside
of
companion,
animals
and
I.
Guess,
and
you
know.
G
Companion,
I
want
to
tighten
that
up
a
little
bit
of
it.
We
do
have
jurisdiction
to
do
some
things
with
horses,
some
things
with
pets,
but
in
terms
of
banning
the
sale
of
these
animals,
we
don't
have
that
authority.
That's
the
Department
of
Ag,
by
extension,
the
state's
responsibility
if
they
want
to
go
down
that
road,
I
I,
share
the
concerns
of
of
the
arak
group.
I
understand
that
there's
a
there's,
a
there's,
a
problem
out
there.
K
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman,
we
appreciate
the
state's
attorney's
office,
sending
us
the
findings
and
opinions
of
that,
and
hopefully
the
swapmeet
will
abide
by
the
welfare
of
the
animals.
That
they're
supposed
to
I
did
understand
the
first
opening
that
there
were
some
issues
out
there,
but
it
looked
pretty
good
and
so
we're
hoping
that
they
continue
with
taking
care
of
the
animals.
And
we
do
want
to
thank
that
on
behalf
of
a
whack
for
going
over
that
ordinance
and
letting
us
know
the
results.
A
A
D
J
We
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
that
a
lot
of
times
we
tend
to
be
latched
when
we
look
at
things,
but
what
brought
my
attention
was
the
fact
that
we
from
time
to
time,
have
voted
on
some
issues
and
when
we
looked
at
those
issues
with
it
appears
as
if
we
were
voting
against
moss
or
ourselves,
because
this
stuff
tends
to
be
in
our
ordinance
and
as
guilty
I.
Don't
look
at
all
of
us
take
for
granted
that
every
committee
does
what
it
does
and
whatever
comes
to
the
board
comes
to
this
board.
J
However,
there
are
a
couple
of
issues
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
address
or
whether,
which
means
we
need
to
revisit
this,
how
county
ordinance
the
first
one
is
section
274.
It
says
in
all
cases,
when
a
resolution
of
motion
shall
be
entered
in
the
county
boards
minutes.
The
clerk's
are
also
enter.
The
name
of
the
moving
member
means.
The
person
that
moves
this
the
motion
or
the
resolution
never
saw
that.
But
again
it's
in
our
code
that
we
put
together.
The
second
one
is:
is
the
privilege
of
the
floor.
J
If
there
is
no
county
board,
members
should
have
the
privilege
of
the
floor
until
he
shall
rise,
and
we
need
to
start
making
that
one
gender
friendly
to
what
happens
when
we
have
an
issue
of
a
DA
and
the
person
cannot
rise.
So,
according
to
our
267,
if
there's
no
county
board
members,
you
have
the
privilege
of
the
floor
until
you
shall
rise
and
respectfully
address
the
chair
and
recognize,
etc,
etc,
etc.
J
It
was
just
to
basically
let
you
know
it's
there.
We
put
it
there
and
unless
we
change
it,
it's
still
there.
So
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
this
starting
next
month.
Someone
me
I,
don't
give
the
medial
Center
to
our
state's
attorney
to
make
sure
that
is
gender
friendly,
that
it
complies
with
the
ABA
and
then
we
do
some
updating,
if
need
be.
That's
just
my
concern.
G
G
Would
recommend
sending
it
to
our
office
we'll
take
a
look
at
it
and
if
it's
appropriate
to
change
whatever
we
need
to
change,
we
can
bring
it
to
the
normal
process,
but
I
can't
speak
for
the
ones
you're
citing
today.
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me
right
but
happy
to
work
with
you
in
terms
of
anything
you'd
like
to
change
and
propose
to
the
full
board.
Well,.
G
G
Just
need
to
send
us
what
you
want
to
change
and
why
and
kind
of
what
your
thought,
processes
and
we'll
work
with
you
and
if
it's
appropriate,
if
it's
something
we're
capable
of
doing
we'll
make
that
recommendation,
we
can
go
through
the
normal
process
same
as
any
other
ordinance
right,
but
just
to
say,
we
want
to
change
something.
I
have
some
reservations
with
that
without
taking
a
harder
look
at
it
right.
J
Shell
vote
they
upon
unless
directly
interested
or
excused
by
the
county
board.
So
I
mean
it's
there.
So
when
I
looked
at
it
and
I
marked
that
as
well,
so
we
need
to
look
again
not
at
changing
everything,
but
I
think
it's
look
at
some
of
the
updates,
whether
a
person
can't
rise
or
the
word
he
you
know,
I
do
know
that
we
use
it
a
lot.
J
But
if
there's
some
updates,
I'm
just
saying
as
a
note
to
the
county
board,
look
at
let's
look
at
it
and
then
we
can
send
it
to
the
States
Attorney
office
for
the
review.
But
we
need
to
count
on
look
at
this
in
a
whether
you're
gonna
be
an
executive
or
whatever.
But
we
need
to
look
at
the
county
code
to
make
sure
that
it's
updated.
