We
have
one
request
for
remote
meeting
and

be
one
of
those
evergreen
until
mr
donald
can
rejoin

He
just
recovered
from
the
one
knee

then
blew
the
other
one
out.

maybe
hopefully
he
got
a
two
for
one
special,
I'm
from
the
doctor
on
that
on
her
punch
card,

minds
me
saying,
but
he'll
be
he'll
be
laid
up
for
a
little
while
again,
just
probably
this
one
six
to
eight
weeks.
Is
there
a
motion
to
mr
ekkoff?

Mr
long,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
those
of
you
all

he
can
rejoin
us.
Thank

Since
it's
a
newly
created
lot
after
2002,
when
our
special
use
permit
regulations
went
into
effect,
it
requires
a
special
use
permit
to
build
a
house
on
any
parcel
larger
than
two
acres
in
that
district.
So
mr
wells
is
requesting
that
a
special
use
permit
be
issued
so
that
he
can
build
a
home
on
that
property.
It's
located
on
1500
south
road
in
aroma,
township,
just
past
the
railroad
tracks,
both
zoning
board
and
planning
and
zoning
recommend
the
approval.
A
A
We're
going
to
start
a
motion
on
this
one
here
before
we
get
going,
mr
featherling,
mr
tholen,
with
a
second:
does
anyone
need
to
be
brought
up
to
speed
on
this.
We've
talked
about
it
in
multiple
committee
meetings.
I
can
give
a
brief
overview
if
you
would
like-
or
you
can
just
ask
questions.
However,
you
want
to
to
go
with
this.
A
So
an
abridged
version.
About
a
year
ago,
little
over
the
city
and
the
county
created
the
another
governmental
entity
called
the
land
bank.
It's
basically
a
way,
a
mechanism
to
capture
all
these
properties
that
have
fallen
off
the
tax
rolls
repurpose
them
wipe
away,
liens
fines,
all
those
things
that
makes
redevelopment
impossible
and
then
package
them
to
a
developer.
To
re
do
those
so
they
can
get
back
on
the
tax
rolls,
whether
it's
residential
or
commercial.
It's
a
really
good
tool.
A
So
it's
churn
it's
not
about
making
a
big
sale
and
splash
it's
about
getting
those
properties-
oh
like
maybe
on
a
corner
over
here
that
has
been
empty
for
15
years
and
there's
fines
and
liens,
and
we
want
to
get
that
back
on
the
tax
rolls
or
get
it
to
generating
revenue
taxes
in
some
way,
whether
it's
sales
tax.
So
we
look
for
a
way
to
fund
the
executive
director
position
of
this,
because
you
have
to
have
someone
that
has
a
you
know:
real
estate,
finance
sales
background
really
organized.
A
You
got
to
have
someone
usher
the
deal
through
it
just
can't
be
an
unmanned
organization,
so
there's
a
really
good
board
in
place
of
industry
professionals,
we're
going
to
be
adding
people
from
other
communities
to
that
a
part
of
the
advisory
board,
so
we're,
finally
to
the
point
of
starting
to
go
out
and
we're
addressing
problem.
When
I
say
we
it's
not
even
me
or
the
mayor
of
keke,
it's
this
board.
A
We
have
to
have
a
place
for
the
employee,
so
we
looked
at
the
model
the
alliance
afforded
us
with
some
tweaks.
Obviously,
you
know
they're
not
going
to
have
a
separate
location,
yet
we
want
to
put
them
here
in
our
planning
department
utilize
that
we
already
have
the
space
we
already
have
the
network.
We
need
to
provide
them
with
benefits
and
the
pay
is
coming
from
the
grants
that
the
city
of
kankakee
is
getting
so
this
agreement
for
the
next
two
and
a
half
years.
A
That's
how
they're
going
to
deposit
and
may
have
already
sent
that
check
over
or
will
after
this
meeting
and
put
that
in
the
bank.
So
we
can
pay
this
individual
and
cover
the
overhead
costs
for
the
next
couple
of
years.
Our
contribution
is
the
benefits,
and
so
that's
a
fixed
amount.
We
have
skin
in
the
game.
They
will
not
necessarily
report
to
this
board
and
us,
but
they
will
report
information
to
us,
but
they
report
to
the
land
bank
board.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
only
come
in
ahead
and
I'll
be
redundant
with
respect
to
the
composition
of
the
board.
There.
Victor
novaris
is
the
only
person
of
color
on
there,
and
I
heard
your
words
loud
and
clear
in
terms
of
additional
entities
or
membership
being
expanded
and
hopefully
that
a
minority
additional
minority
representation
will
be
made
to
that
particular
body.
Thank
you.
A
G
A
Absolutely
and
I
I
would
say
that,
once
the
foundation
is
set,
other
communities
can
join
the
land
bank
once
they
establish
those
parameters.
It's
they
have
to
buy
in
just
like
everybody
else
does.
But
you
know
the
the
the
the
mantinos
and
you
know
all
of
the
different
communities
that
may
find
value
in
this
type
of
thing.
A
So
we
that
is
very
purposeful
and
where
we're
going
to
go
down
the
road
or,
where
they're
going
to
go
any
other
thoughts
about
the
funding
mechanisms,
where
they're
going
to
be
housed
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff,
you
know
work
comp
all
that's
on
us.
You
know
we're
doing
hr,
we're
doing
payroll,
we're
doing
all
that
stuff
here,
but
the
money
is
being
supplied
from
the
city
of
kankakees
grants
for
this
endeavor
all
righty.
No
other
questions,
roll
call
vote.
Please.

Mr.
D
A
Is
there
a
motion
on
that?
Maybe
mr
siroid
yep
on
the
first
and
then
we'll
go
with
mr
featherly
on
the
second.
You
tell
me
how
big
of
a
description
you
need
on
this?
Basically
for
the
first
time
that
we
can
see
somebody's
actually
doing
something
about
sediment
in
the
river
we're
actually
going
to
remove
sand
from
the
river.
This
is
the
first
step.
A
I
find
things
at
the
turn
of
century
when
they
did
some
of
this
type
of
dredging,
but
they've
never
done
anything
now
and
the
time
for
talk
is
over
we're
going
to
take
action.
So
the
first
step
is
this
agreement
with
burke
engineering
who's
heavily
involved
on
the
indiana
side
of
the
kankakee
river
issue.
So
they're
well
aware
of,
what's
going
on
over
here,
they're
going
to
tell
us
basically
all
of
the
engineering
where
we're
going
to
be
able
to
pull
from
how
much
we
can
get
out
of
there.
A
That's
the
first
and
then
handle
all
the
permitting
and
everything
with
dnr
army
corps
everything
moving
forward,
so
they
would
be
managing
and
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
that
proposal
to
do
all
of
that
stuff.
So
that's
I'm
trying
to
find
in
my
packet
here
in
case
there's
any
specific
questions,
but
please,
let
me
know
if
there
are
this.
This
is
a
necessary
step
to
be
able
to
actually
define
what
the
scope
of
work
is
with
that
project.
Mr
hunter.
I
A
A
It
was
the
work
on
the
river
and
a
gas
pipeline
to
hopkins
park,
and-
and
this
is
a
continuation
of
checking
things
off
of
that
list-
he
went
and
got
the
million
dollars
for
this
dredging
project
and
without
his
help
we
would
not
have
a
dime
for
it.
We
couldn't
do
anything
now,
we're
gonna
manage
it.
The
second
part
of
that
was
the
seven
million
dollars
that
he
also
got
for
infrastructure
work
on
the
river.
That's
the
second
leg
of
this.
A
None
of
that
money
can
be
spent
on
non-bondable
items,
so
it
has
to
be
something:
that's
like
a
20-year
shelf
life.
It
can't
be
dredging.
This
million
dollars
is
just
to
get
that
amenity
of
the
kanke
valley
park
district
back
in
to
be
viable
for
the
public
and
also
for
the
rescue
boats
for
aroma
fire
to
get
in
the
moldable
part
of
the
river
right.
A
Now
they
can't
even
get
in
there,
so
it
it
checks,
so
many
different
boxes
on
being
good
for
the
park
district
aroma
park,
city
of
kankakee,
the
boaters,
the
boat
clubs
and
also
the
fire
and
safety
part
of
this,
the
boaters
themselves.
So
and
then
again
we're
not
doing
a
study,
we're
not
talking
about
it,
we're
doing
it.
So
I
I
hope
that.
J
J
So,
but
when
this
boat
launch
was
covered
with
sand,
they
could
get
before
that
they
could
just
enter
right
there
near
their
station,
but
now
they
have
to
go
all
the
way
through
and
if
you
know
the
construction
there
by
grace
baptist
over
waldron
road
that
it
might
not
be
a
timely
to
get
to
where
they
have
to
be
so
it's
key
for
water
safety
and
for
this
community.
So
I
applaud
this
board
for
going
forward
for
that.
Thank
you,
mr
miller.
A
L
Mr
lear,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
I'm
very
much
supportive
of
this
project
and
because
I
see
many
benefits,
as
is
true
with
almost
every
construction
prosecutor,
I've
ever
known.
This
is
going
to
still
take
time
we
are
going
to
we
are
acting,
but
before
we
see
sand
actually
being
brought
out
of
the
river
it's
going
to
be
several
months.
A
We're
looking
at
spring
is
that's
what
we're
shooting
for.
If
we
get
all
the
permitting
done
before
snow
flies,
then
we
could
have
equipment
ready,
staged
the
agreement
with
the
park
district
to
let
us
de-water
and
the
approval
of
id
and
r.
Let
us
de-water
the
sand
right
there
on
that
parking
lot.
Then
we're
not
double
trucking
this
stuff.
So
we
get
more
sand
out.
If
we
don't
have
to
move
it
twice,
hope
that
makes
sense.
We
got
a
million,
so
let's
don't
waste
it
on
gas.
A
M
Just
to
be
somewhat
creative
because
we
are
moving
the
sand
out
of
the
river
at
some
point.
I
also
know
that
the
river
from
time
to
time,
floods
overflood
we're
able
to
recycle
that
sand
and
put
them
in
some
sandbags
and
just
give
them
to
the
people.
That's
on
the
river.
So
that
way
we
are
having
another
positive
youth,
at
least
recycling,
that
sand.
So
it
doesn't
go
to
waste.
A
It's
actually
I
like
the
idea,
but-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
can
return
sand
back
to
the
river-
I
think
they
have
to
get
it
out
of
the
floodplain,
but
it's
up
to
the
contractor,
who
is
bids
the
hauling
to
dispose
of
the
sand.
We
don't
want
to
hold
the
sand.
That's
a
big
problem.
If
we
just
have
a
pile
somewhere,
because
it
it
blows,
you
know
it's
not
what
that's
not
the
business
we
want
to
be
in
so
the
way
these
bids
are
written,
whoever's,
trucking
it
away
they're
charged
with
disposal.
A
Mr
featherling
has
said:
he's
part
of
groups
that
had
work
done
on
the
the
type
of
sand
we
have.
It
has
almost
no
practical
use
in
construction,
except
for
base
sand
underneath
certain
things
yeah.
You
know
that,
but
it's
really
it's
it's
too.
It's
almost
tumble
dry.
It's
almost
like
polish,
like
a
stone,
you
know
really
shiny
stones
because
of
obviously
the
river
and
the
act,
the
the
glaciers
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff
that
created
it.
So
that's
part
of
the
issue.
Is
it's
not
really
good
for
much?
You
know
and
construction-wise.
A
So
all
right,
but
we're
getting
off
topics,
so
the
amount
was
60
000
not
to
exceed
including
reimbursable
expenses.
Like
I'd,
say,
I'd,
be
surprised
if
we
don't
have
some
indication
of
what
the
project
is
in
scope
by
the
end
of
october,
maybe
beginning
of
november.
That's
what
we're
shooting
for
if
we
can
get
moving
now.
So
any
other
questions,
all
right.
Roll
call
vote
please.
Mr.
E
A
Hi
motion
carries
and
by
the
way
the
the
60
000
it's
our
intent
to
include
that
in
the
appropriation
the
million
dollars,
if
you
will
so
if
it
ends
up
being
outside
of
that,
we'll
get
an
approval,
probably
we'll
have
to
decide
general
fund
or
if
we
want
to
do
arpa,
but
we
as
right
now
we're
under
the
impression
that
this
can
be
included
in
that
million.
So
it
won't
even
come
out
of
the
local
sources
of
funds.
A
So
I
just
want
to
mention
that
more
to
come
on
that
because,
as
you
know,
sometimes
you
get
an
answer
from
one
department
in
the
state
and
then
another
department
gets
involved
then,
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
they
answer
transitions.
I
know
that's,
what's
the
word
they
would
use
it
migrates.
So
we'll
get
on
that,
though.
A
Do
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
on
that
one,
miss
weber,
both
mr
lear,
any
questions
about
that
ben's
here
he
can
it's
a
formality,
but
okay,
are
we
spending
money?
No,
I
don't
think
so.
It's
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
Those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
all
right
under
arpa
this
part
of
a
consent
agenda.
Is
there
any
one
of
those
you
want
to
talk
about
separately.

Authorizing

to

A
F
Sure
the
use
of
the
the
money
is
going
to
be
for
a
housing
study.
We've
been
talking
about.
You
know
for
several
years,
as
we
go
around
to
all
our
different
employers.
We
find
out
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
who
are
commuting
into
our
community.
That
would
like
to
be
residents,
but
we
don't
have
adequate
housing.
F
You
know
a
year,
but
to
come
in
and
actually
do
developments
builds
potential
condos
apartments
facilities
that
have
amenities.
Those
are
the
things
that
we're
hearing
that
people
want
to
have
in
the
county.
As
we
all
know,
real
estate
has
really
been
tight
over
the
last
couple
years.
There's
not
a
lot
of
you
know
open
real
estate
to
go
out
and
buy.
F
So
we
think
this
is
an
opportune
time
to
do
this
housing
study
to
get
the
ammunition
that
we
need
to
go
and
entice
developers
to
come
to
come
to
key
county
and
build
houses,
build
residences,
build
apartment
complexes.
So
we
can
keep
our
employees
in
the
county
and
turn
the
return
them
from
commuters
to
residents.
Sure.
D
A
F
That's
correct,
we've
heard
those
same
arguments,
and
so
we
did
a
you
know.
A
sturdy
survey
of
the
school
districts
and
the
school
enrollment
has
continually
declined
over
the
last
10
to
12
years,
and
our
school
population
has
gone
down
several
thousand
now
it
probably
you
know
it
goes
along
with
the
fact
that
our
our
population
has
declined.
The
school
enrollment
has
declined,
so
facilities
you
know
exist
to
be
able
to
take
you
know
more
students
without
having
to
you
know,
put
anything
back
on
the
taxpayers
that
we
have
to
build
facilities.
F
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
school
superintendents
and
they
have
you
know
they
have
plenty
of
facilities
available
to
be
able
to
house
several
hundred
more
students
per
school.
So
hopefully,
these
new
new
residents
that
we
bring
into
the
community
won't
impact
the
schools
to
have
to
do
more
construction.
Sure.
M
M
F
Most
of
the
districts
that
we've
surveyed-
and
we
certainly
made
of
all
of
them,
have
all
had
declines
over
the
last
10
to
12
years
now.
You
know
this
key
school
district
also
had
that,
but
just
in
the
last
couple
years,
they've
seen
a
change
and
their
enrollment
started
to
you
know
to
go
up.
Most
of
the
districts
have
not
seen
that
you
know
the
most
of
the
districts
in
the
community
still
are
are
housing
less
students
than
they
had
back
in
2008
2009.

A
Thank
you.
We
did
have
one
item,
a
new
business
that
came
up
overnight.
It's
probably
the
best
way
to
put
it.
It
evolved
overnight
to
being
something
that
was
a
known
quantity.
I've
spoken
with
mr
coughlin
about
this.
We
lost
our
ac
over
theannex,
completely
chiller
is
completely
down
out.
We
have
no
air
conditioning
at
the
annex,
which
is
probation
public
defender.
A
So
I
asked
for
is
this
an
emergency
situation?
Can
we
get
a
rental
in
there
to
keep
the
the
building
cool
while
we
go
out
and
assess
whether
we're
gonna
have
to
repair
or
replace?
We
just
can't
let
our
employees
work,
and
you
know
like-
was
that
cool
hand
luke
day
in
the
box?
You
know
that
he
can't
let
it
be.
You
know
like
that
for
our
employees,
so
john
agreed,
and
I
believe
he
can
speak
to
that.
A
If
you
have
questions
so
it
would
be
the
authorization
to
allow
wes
to
rent
the
chiller,
we're
not
going
to
say
the
price,
because
I
want
them
to
get
second
bids
on
this.
I
have
one
price
from
one
company.
So
is
there
any
questions
or
we'll
start
with
a
motion
to
allow
him
to
run
the
daylight
first,
mr
ekkoff,
mr
kirkster.
E
A
N
Yeah
and
just
to
am
I
on
just
to
provide
some
background,
there's
two
compressors
at
the
annex,
we're
currently
running
off
one.
So
right
now,
on
a
day
like
today,
we
can
manage
because
it's
cool
humidity
is
low,
but
we
all
know
what's
going
to
come
later
this
month
in
august,
and
I
even
looked
out
in
the
10
day,
it
doesn't
look
too
bad
going
10
days
out,
but
I
mean
former
athlete
played
football.
A
A
A
M
No
just
the
point
of
information,
we
have
a
an
officer,
that's
battling
breast
cancer
and
been
doing
it
for
about
about
a
good
year
officer,
costello
and
we
are
getting
together
to
put
a
fundraiser
because
the
copa
farms
have.
What
is
that?
Not
the
culprit
funds,
but
excuse
me,
cobra
funds
are
are
exhausted
and
the
american
cat
society
has
picked
it
up
for
two
months
and
she
has
to
go
through
another
surgery.
Even
yet
so
you're,
probably
coming
back
to
support
the
officer.
