Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 7/12/2023 7:30 AM
A
B
B
A
B
I
have
not
received
anything
for
public
comment.
Is
there
any
public
comment
at
this
time?
Any
public
comment
take
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
June
14
2023
by
Mr
carico
second,
by
Mr
Fairfield,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Motion
carries
up
next
judge
chief
judge,
Mr
cunnington.
B
C
Well,
everything's
going
well
at
the
courthouse.
I
can't
really
point
to
any
serious
problems.
Right
now
we
did
reappoint
our
four
associate
judges.
You
may
recall
that
we
have
two
a
two-tier
judicial
system
in
Illinois
we
have
associate
judges
and
then
we
have
the
full
circuit
judges,
the
full
circuit
judges
are
elected
and
then
the
when
we
have
seven
of
those
and
we
have
five
Associates
and
they
are
appointed
by
the
circuit
judges
for
terms
of
four
years.
So
they
were
just
reappointed.
C
This
month
or
yeah
voted
on
last
month
and
appointed
this
month
for
a
four-year
term.
That
would
be
judge,
Drew,
judge,
Imani
Drew,
there's
see
if
I
can
name
them
all
Kara
bartucci.
She
sits
in
Iroquois
County
in
Watseka
and
I'm
going
blank
here.
Oh
my
so
Cindy,
oh
yeah
judge,
Nancy,
Nicholson,
judge,
Brenda
Claudio.
C
C
C
You've
passed
the
the
juror
fees,
the
increase
in
the
juror
fees.
That's
that's
going
to
be
a
big
help,
too,
and
and
basically
treating
jurors
with
a
little
more
dignity
than
you
know.
Here's
your
five
dollar
check
and
here's
10
cents
or
20
cents,
a
mile
for
your
your
mileage.
So
that's
going
to
help
as
well.
We
also
are
in
receipt
of
the
four
evidence
podiums
that
are
going
in
four
of
our
courtrooms.
These
are
they're
very
fancy.
C
C
The
witnesses
will
be
able
to
sit
on
the
witness
stand
and
be
able
to
annotate
different
exhibits
and
that'll
go
up
on
the
screen
and
the
jury
can
see
as
their
as
they're
annotating
those
exhibits,
expert,
Witnesses
and
such
to
describe.
You
know
their
testimony.
Those
were
about
forty
thousand
dollars
a
piece
and
they
were
paid
for
with
a
grant
from
the
administrative
office
of
Illinois
courts.
The
aoic
gave
us
that
money,
so
any
questions.
B
D
You
it's
a
birthday
month,
so
we're
good,
so
I
don't
know.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
about
the
reports.
They're
normal,
the
Harrison
Harris
representative,
that
I
work
with
he
he
and
I
are
going
to
create
a
different
chart
to
so
show
some
of
the
other
benefits
of
having
the
third
party
collection
agency.
So
maybe
next
month
we'll
have
a
new
report
and
some
additional
information
so
we'll
see
how
that
goes.
B
D
D
Yes,
the
remodeling
so
I'll
start
but
I'm
going
to
ask
the
chairman
Andy
to
step
up
and
help
out
here.
You
can
see
the
diagram
in
the
middle
of
the
diagram,
that's
room
209,
and
what
we're
looking
at
is
when
you
walk
in
the
door
to
my
office,
the
main
office,
rather
than
the
countertop
being
kind
of
like
this
Dias
you'll
walk
in
and
then
there
will
be
six
stations
where
the
clerks
will
be
seated
but
they'll
be
able
to
help
kind
of
like
a
teller
window.
D
D
If
I
had
an
employee
that
needed
to
be
in
a
wheelchair
or
with
a
walker,
they
would
have
a
difficult
time
maneuvering
it's
it's
really
tight
in
there.
So
we're
still
able
to
keep
the
same
amount
of
desks
that
we
have
and
then
I'm
also
adding
an
office
for
the
chief
Deputy
right
now
she
sits
in
the
middle
of
the
room
and
when
employees
have
a
personal
matter
to
discuss
in
relation
to
doctor's
appointments-
or
you
know
just
a
personal
issue-
everybody's
right
there
and
can
hear
every
little
thing.
D
That's
being
said
so
a
lot
of
times.
We
have
to
take
people
out
in
the
hall
or
bring
them
into
my
office
or
something
like
that.
So
this
way
she'll
have
a
private
place,
but
it'll
be
glass
windows
so
that
she
can
still
see
out
and
see
what's
going
on,
so
that's
in
the
middle
and
then
there
will
be
four
desks
two
on
each
side,
we'll
move
our
microfilm
machine
over
into
that
corner
too.
D
Then,
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
you'll
see
where
that's
room,
208
and
I've
moved
I.
Well,
once
we
move
the
people
down
to
the
basement,
I
only
have
four
employees
left
on
that
side.
Three
employees
left
on
that
side.
Well,
I'm,
adding
to
my
office
we've
needed
to
have
a
meeting
space
for
a
very
long
time.
D
A
couple
times:
I've
almost
been
booted
out
of
a
jury
room
that
was
not
being
used
for
jury,
but
for
other
reasons
so
there's
just
times
when
I
need
to
meet
with
people.
So
I'll
have
a
desk
and
I'll
have
my
desk
and
the
two
chairs
there.
But
then
I'll
also
have
a
table
and
chairs
for
people
to
come
in
and
meet
with
me
and
then
I'm,
adding
another
office
for
the
other
chief
deputy
and
then
the
three
desks
on
the
side.
We
may
have
to
talk
about
that.
D
A
little
more
but
somewhere
it'll
be
three
or
four
desks
over
on
that
other
side.
For
the
it'll
be
more
like
the
administration
side
of
the
circuit
clerk's
office
so
and
then
up
at
the
very
top.
That's
all
current!
That's
judge,
Purcells
Chambers
on
the
bathroom,
we're
gonna
add
a
sink.
We
have
a
closet,
a
coat
closet
right
now
that
we
pile
all
our
paper
in
really
nobody
puts
their
coats
in
there,
so
we're
gonna
have
a
sink
because
all
the
plumbing
is
right.
D
This
diagram
doesn't
show
it,
but
the
one
on
the
screen
does
there's
four
four
stations
and
that'll
be
for
customers
to
come
in
and
do
their
own,
e-filing
and
or
legal.
You
know
their
research
for
to
look
up
cases
and
things
like
that
right
now.
We
have
one
at
account
one
computer
at
a
counter
for
people.
So
this
way
it'll
be
you
know
more
accessible
for
the
people,
the
customers
to
come
in.
D
Well,
once
we
in
integrate
into
our
new
system,
that's
going
to
handle
most
of
my
issues
of
as
far
as
being
behind
the
tines
and
I
have
to
work
with
the
Union
about
cross-training,
and
you
know
creating
new
job
descriptions
and
things
like
that.
It's
we're
starting,
but
that's
a
laborious
process
too.
You
know
there's
a
lot
to
putting
that
together,
so
hopefully
by
my
budget
time,
we'll
be
able
to
have
that
you
know
figured
out.
D
D
D
D
F
B
G
Wheeler,
thank
you.
Mr
chairman.
The
the
reason
it's
on
the
agenda
is
we
don't
have
a
building
of
grounds
this
month,
so
I
would
like
to
get
some
Associated
approval.
You
know
you
see.
We've
engaged
our
architect
to
get
the
initial
drawings
with
Sandy
the
reason
it's
important
for
this
group
and
really
the
the
board
members
are
having
been
around
when
the
Attorney
General
was
coming
in
to
take
over
our
budget
to
do
the
up,
Ada
updates.
G
We
were
told
to
ignore
at
that
time,
so
the
the
leadership
bag.
You
you
remember,
those
conversations,
don't
don't
respond
to
the
letter
from
the
attorney
general
Lisa.
Madigan
loves
that
so
we
we've
got
to
the
point
of
getting
all
of
the
dates,
certain
stuff
done,
which
meant
that
if
we
didn't
get
these
things
like
a
ramp
and
an
accessible
courtroom,
you
know
the
the
assistance
devices
within
the
courthouse.
If
we
didn't
get
all
of
that
done,
that's
that
was
the
nuclear
option.
G
The
state
was
going
to
go
after,
but
then
they
also
tasked
us
with
a
transition
plan
which
is
to
take
the
rest
of
the
Ada
issues
which
Sandy
touched
on.
You
couldn't
get
an
assistant
advice
through
the
aisles
in
her
in
her
office,
so
it's
the
people
that
work
there
now
we're
addressing
Ada
for
the
employees
that
actually
work
within
the
spaces
behind
the
counters.
That's
where
we're
starting
to
go
now.
G
So
this
project
is
not
going
to
be
a
you
know:
two
million
dollar
you
know
gut
tear
down
whatever
this
is
a
remodel,
we're
gonna
get
new
desks
here
you
see
the
this
is
not
the
full
layout,
as
she
mentioned.
There's
some
tweaks
that
are
going
to
happen,
but
the
the
the
timeline
would
be
is
if
this
committee
votes
and
says
yeah
move
forward,
it'll
be
to
come
to
building
your
grounds
not
next
week,
but
in
a
month
to
be
able
to
release
the
bids
that
hopefully
we
can
open
at
Finance.
G
B
B
B
B
I
B
B
B
J
J
Just
like
I
said,
with
the
totals
we
had
over
14
000
contacts
last
month
and
almost
400
drug
tests,
and
we
currently
have
20
individuals
on
some
sort
of
some
form
of
electric
monitoring
with
that
little
fourteen
to
a
thousand
I'm
happy
because
we're
on
Pace
by
the
end
of
the
year
since
we're
halfway
through
the
year
to
be
where
we
want
to
be
and
I
know.
I
talk
a
lot
about
our
vacancies,
but
we
still
have
that
problem.
We
still
have
several
vacancies.
J
We
have
one
more
since
our
last
meeting
and
not
a
lot
of
applicants
in
the
we're
not
receiving
a
lot
we're
working
hard
to
change
that
we're.
You
know
we're
working
with
local
colleges,
universities,
social
media,
different
things,
but
it's
just
slow
coming
so
I
want
to
give
a
lot
of
credit
to
our
staff
they're,
making
sure
that
the
contacts
are
you
know,
supervision
standards
are
met
and
we're
getting
our
contacts
in.
J
They
could
be
griping
but
they're,
not
they're,
just
working
hard
and
coming
up
with
ideas,
so
I
just
want
to
give
a
you
know:
I
appreciate
everything
they're
doing,
because
it's
because
we're
on
vacation
season
now
you
know
that
two
and
a
half
you
know
to
the
middle
of
August.
We're
kind
of
you
get
a
little
thinned
out,
but
they're
working,
hard
and
I
appreciate
it.
J
J
The
only
other
thing
I
have
is
a
October
20th.
Is
the
drug
court
auction
their
main
fundraiser
for
that
program?
Just
you'll
get
some
more
information
soon.
I
just
want
to
give
you
that
date,
because
we
just
they
just
said
it
a
little
bit
ago.
So
just
get
that
out
there
going
great
time,
Miss
herps.
K
J
E
J
Yeah,
you
know
I
couldn't
give
you
the
rate
of
how
many
we
end
up
hiring.
We
do
we've
hired
some
interns.
Obviously
that's
the
best
way
to
go,
because
that's
a
long
interview
process
as
you
get
to
see
them
for
whatever
a
lot
of
times,
but
the
issue
too
is
some
people
doing
internships
here,
maybe
from
all
of
it,
but
they're
moving
back
to
their
local.
J
You
know
out
of
state,
so
we
kind
of
have
that
perfect
mix,
sometimes
of
you're
doing
an
internship
here,
but
you're
also
maybe
from
the
area,
and
it
makes
a
little
easier
to
hire
them.
But
we
do.
We
have
several
people
now,
two
well
two
people
now
that
did
internships
with
us
that
are
now
working
for
us.
So.
J
E
J
B
J
Don't
think
it
is
I,
don't
know
I,
just
it's
like
the
workforce.
Just
disappeared,
I,
don't
know
what
it
is,
because
you
know
especially
this
time
of
year.
In
the
last
60
days,
I
would
have
received
a
lot
of
resumes
and
applications
because
kids
are
getting
out
of
you,
know.
School
or
graduating
I
mean,
but
we
you
know
it
got
to
the
point
where
I
called
the
the
chief
Judge's
office
Lori
wolf,
to
ask.
J
If
these
were
being
sent
down
to
my
office
by
accident,
and
she
said
no
Tom,
I
haven't
you
know
she
knows
what
she's
doing
she
hasn't
received
anything.
So
it's
just
I,
don't
know
it's
just
a
tricky
thing
to
kind
of
pinpoint
yeah
and
especially
the
LA,
the
you
know,
our
Administrative
Assistant
Amber
glidewell
is
great
at
working
with
social
media
and
getting
that
stuff
out
there
much
better
than
I
am
and
still
the
you
know
we're
not
getting
a
good
return
on
the
on
that.
So
I
don't
know.
M
J
Fact
yesterday
I
was
just
talking:
I
was
just
talking
to
the
little
County
director
for
a
while
and
he
I
think
he
had
12
vacancies.
You
know
they're
more
bigger
staff,
but
it's
like
you
know,
12
days,
so
it's
just
and
we're
trying
to
not
rob
from
each
other.
I
guess
you
know
wanna,
you
know
us
take
what
people
will
County
people
will
County
take
care
of
people
kind
of
things,
but
you
know
it's.
J
J
G
J
Yeah
I
would
say:
maybe
not
that
point
yet
okay,
but
it's
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
frustrating
because
I
mean
we
need.
You
know
we
can't
have
two
systems
we
can't
have.
You
know
you
know
we
have
to
have
one
and
I
think
that's
you
know,
that's
we're
telling
them
and
we're
kind
of
in
the
middle.
You
know
that
figure
out
how
to
get
this.
We
figure
out
how
to
get
that
data.
You
know
solution
special
release,
tracker.
J
Our
current
system,
you
know,
has
issues
sometimes
with
how
with
giving
that,
because
they're
worried
about
other
things
that
other
things
would
be.
You
know
about
their
system
would
be
they
don't
want.
You
know
they're
real
careful
with
that
protective
of
that.
So
we
just
have
that
kind
of
little
back
and
forth
between
the
two
but
I
think
I'm,
hoping
this
meeting
that
they're
scheduling
now
will
work
a
lot
of
that.
G
G
G
G
J
And
you
know
this,
but
dip
right
now,
I
mean.
Obviously
we
have
low
detention
numbers
we've
had
it
for
a
while
I
think
this.
The
decision
to
get
out
of
that
last
agreement
was
a
very
good
one.
You
know
I
think
that
the
numbers
proved
that
that
we're
just
not
you
know
we
had
a
fixed
cost
before
no
matter
how
many
kids
we
had
detained
really,
and
so,
when
those
numbered
numbers
dipped
our
detention
day,
cost
was
up
because,
obviously
so
now
I
think
it's
a
good.
J
J
E
There
was
a
family
who
contacted
me
regarding
a
member
of
the
family
who
was
recently
released
and
he
had
been
charged
federally
and
he
served
time
and
every
he's
been
released
and
he's
staying
with
his
his
mom.
Now
so
they've
contacted
me
about
employment,
so
he
has
to
go
to
Peoria
every
Monday
and
it's
until
I
think
August.
He
has
to
go
to
Peoria
every
Monday
at
three
o'clock
and
I
was
asking
him
I
said.
Well.
E
J
That
he's
on
federal
probation,
yeah
yeah,
so
they
used
to
have
an
agent
that
would
come
up
and
use
our
some
of
our
office
space
every
once
in
a
while
and
see
some
individuals
that
were
on
Federal
Credit
probation,
they
haven't
done
that
in
a
long
time
we
can't
transfer
the
case
to
us.
However,
we
could
reach
out
to
them
about
setting
up,
maybe
a
zoom
option
from
our
office.
Maybe
I,
could
you
know
that's
all
in
their
hands?
J
B
N
So
that's
a
good
thing
now,
whether
that
coincides
with
the
increase
in
the
number
of
written
warnings
that
our
guys
are
out
riding
only.
We
have
no
way
to
track
that,
but
it
is
a
positive
that
our
numbers
are
down
a
little
bit.
Traffic
accident
related
wise,
so
and
and
I
am
superstitious
when
it
comes
to
the
far
right
columns,
the
fatal
accidents
and
the
homicides.
N
So
that's
signif!
That's
that's
significant.
When
you
figure
300
times,
12
is
3600
end
up
with
3
600.
More
calls
for
service
that
that
becomes
quite
significant,
but
our
guys
are
doing
a
great
job,
and
you
know
we'll
continue
to
do
that
as
as
best
we
can
questions
on
the
sworn
side.
Anything
else
that
you
may
want
to.
N
N
One
of
the
drawbacks
to
the
low
number
of
locals
and
I
can
tell
you
that
of
the
213.
We
no
longer
really
house
low-level
misdemeanor
traffic,
anything
that
we
would
have
used,
maybe
five
years
ago
to
bring
out
to
Parks
roadways
and
pick
up
litter,
weeds
and
things
like
that.
We
are
just
unable
to
do
that
because,
quite
frankly,
we
don't
have
that
low-level
non-violent
inmate
to
bring
out
somebody
that
we
would
feel
safe
having
them
outside.
N
N
N
We
are
up
1.7
million
this
year
than
we
were
last
year
at
this
time
so
and
doing
some
basic
numbers
based
on
what
we
brought
in
last
year
and
from
July
through
November,
and
what
we
anticipate
to
bring
in
this
July
through
November.
If
our
numbers
stay
similar,
we're
looking
at
an
additional
450
thousand
dollars
in
additional
Revenue,
that
would
put
us
approximately
2.1
million
more
this
year
than
we
brought
in
last
year.
So
those
are
definitely
good
numbers
from
a
revenue
standpoint.
N
E
E
You
know
and
I
do
interface
with
Chad
all
the
time
about
different
stuff
and
how
is
the
it's
not
necessarily
a
transition,
but
with
new
police
chief
kinky
City
and
deputy
chief
with
Kidwell
and
and
Austin.
You
know
the
faces
haven't
changed.
Just
the
positions
and
I
know
that
it's
kind
of
nice
to
see
your
personnel
and
doing
patrols
other
than
just
process
serving
in
in
the
city.
N
Well,
I
I
think
the
easiest
way
to
speak
to
it.
Mr
Hunter,
is
that
you
know
people
in
in
our
community
I
mean
the
law
enforce
Community.
We
understand
it
because
we
we
a
lot
of
times,
will
deal
with
other
counties
or
other
municipalities
throughout
the
state.
Even
throughout
the
country
and
and
I
can
tell
you
historically
that
law
enforcement
in
this
County
doesn't
matter
the
jurisdiction
everybody
gets
it
I
mean
everybody
knows
that
there
are
there
they're
they're
going
to
need
help
at
some
point.
N
We
may
need
some
help
with
the
county
and
the
city
steps
up
or
Bourbonnais
steps
up
or
Bradley
steps
up.
Manteno
I
mean
you
know.
We
have
a
number
of
multi-jurisdictional
task
forces
that
all
work
together.
Our
SWAT
team,
which
is
county-wide,
includes
Bradley
bourbon,
a
Kankakee,
City,
Manteno
moments
and
they're
all
trained
the
same
way,
because
we
don't
want
somebody
from
another
agency
who
hasn't
been
trained
to
maybe
do
something
that
is
not
within
what
our
SWAT
team
wants,
or
what
our
stolen
Auto
task
force
does.
N
So
the
relationship
I
think
with
with
other
jurisdictions,
is
phenomenal
in
this
community,
and
it's
something
that
really
goes
unnoticed
not
talked
about
is
just
assumed,
which
is
the
way
it
should
be
we're
all
in
this
together
when
there's
a
when
there's
a
homicide
in
the
city
that
affects
us
all.
So
we
you
know,
we
work
together
that
the
change
I
mean
I
will
I
will
go
as
far
to
say
that
it
doesn't
matter
who
the
chief
is,
doesn't
matter
who
the
deputy
chief?
Is
it
doesn't
matter
who
the
sheriff
is
it
doesn't
matter?
N
I
mean
the
fact
is
that
if
the
city
needs
something
and
they
ask
the
county
to
help,
will
help
I
mean
that's
just
that's
just
what
we
do
so
I
appreciate
the
question,
because
I
think
you
know,
and
even
even
prior
to
cheap
pass
water.
You
know
when
things
were,
you
know
somewhat.
You
know
there
wasn't
quite
the
support
from
the
administration
at
the
city
for
the
police.
K
N
Do
we
well
so
so
understand
so
that
money
there's
obviously
costs
associated
with
it
for
our
staff
for
food
as
as
Mr
Hess
indicated,
so
this
money
goes
directly
to
the
county.
So
that's
probably
more
of
a
question
for
Mr
McCarty
as
much
as
it
is
for
me,
I,
don't
see
any
of
the
money
and
I
like
it
that
way
so.
N
Do
not
pay
cash,
No
No
in
fact,
I
think
it's
all
direct
deposit
actually
I,
don't
know
that
there's
even
a
check
anymore,
so
that
probably
be
a
question
for
him
is
where
that
I
mean.
Obviously
it's
all
factored
in
I
mean
that
money
and
all
and
tell
me
if
I'm
out
of
line
here,
Mr
chairman
but
I
mean
that
money
goes
to
funding.
Obviously
the
corrections
and
it
goes
to
funding
some
other
things
within
the
county,
which
is
the
way
it
should
be.
G
Thanks
there's
so
many
oh
gosh
I,
don't
want
to
put
this
almost
like
a
jigsaw
puzzle,
there's
so
many
interlocking
parts
that
take
any
Revenue
dollar
and
offset
it
against
expenses
and
goes
into
bank
accounts
that
are
determined
by
the
treasurer
and
because
we
don't
have
anything
to
say
about
where
it
goes.
But
let's
just
say:
interest
is
a
thing
now
so
there
it
I
will
say
that
the
primary
source
of
the
funds
is
used
to
pay
for
our
own
detained
criminals.
G
I
guess
is
the
best
way
to
put
it
are
those
because
that
was
the
whole
goal
of
this.
To
start
with
is
is
to
offset
the
cost
of
our
own
correct
and
anything
over
and
above
that
is
used
by
to
fund
departmental
operations.
So
we're
we're
in
a
model
right
now
that
that
you
know
a
good
example
would
be
we
get
reimbursed
for
medical
from
those
from
out
of
the
county,
we're
paying
for
our
own.
G
So
if
it's
daily
dialysis,
that's
really
expensive,
it's
nice
to
have
the
non-taxpayers
here
paying
for
that
or
the
the
taxpayers
here,
not
paying
for
that.
Instead
of
you
see
where
I'm
going
yeah
and
we've
been
fortunate
that
it's
only
been
about
three
or
four
years
when
it
got
really
bad,
you
know
we
Cook
County
stopped
sending
people
here.
G
O
N
N
It's
probably
something
with
the
increases
in
that
is
something
that,
before
we
go
to
request
any
additional
funds,
we
would
certainly
do
that
again.
It's
not
something
that
we
do
annually.
Even
though
raises
come
annually,
but
yeah
it's
I
mean
the
the
last
figure
we
did,
which
I
think
was
about
I
think
five
years
ago,
or
so
it
cost
us
about
102
a
day
to
house
our
own
inmates.
N
N
Back
then,
we
were
at
I
have
those
numbers
right
here:
Mr
chairman
we
were
at
268
local
in
2020
we
were
at
258
in
2018.,
so
yeah
I
mean
those
were
big
numbers
back.
Then,
of
course,
with
all
the
legislation
and
things
that
have
changed
and
we
don't
keep
people
in
jail
anymore.
Those
numbers
have
certainly
gone
down,
but
that's.
E
And
you
know:
I
served
on
the
building
and
grounds
committee,
and
you
know-
and
it's
really
interesting
in
terms
of
the
director-
articulates
all
the
different
things
that
have
to
be
paid
for
and,
as
you
think,
in
terms
of
2005
and
we're
at
2023,
now
things
break
down.
No
doubt
you
think
in
terms
of
you
know
the
the
vehicles,
the
maintenance
and
all
that
stuff
I
mean
it
doesn't
go
down.
E
E
N
Yeah
and
being
you
know,
being
a
24
7
building
obviously
requires
a
lot
more
maintenance,
rather
than
just
an
8
30
to
4
30
type
of
office
hours,
so
yeah
I
mean
obviously
the
maintenance
costs.
When
we
built
that
one
of
the
things
that
you
know,
we
were
as
we
as
we
looked
at
other
buildings,
looked
at
options
and
looked
at
things.
What
we
wanted
to
do
and
I'll
give
you
a
quick
example
in
a
minute,
but
is
the
maintenance?
It's
it's,
not
the
cost
of
the
building
that
you
open.
N
It's
what
your
costs
are
every
year
after
that
that
that
matter
and
one
of
the
things
we
actually
got
criticized
for
we
went
to
a
jail
in
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
North,
Carolina,
South,
Carolina
somewhere,
and
they
had
laminate
officer
stations.
It's
kind
of
like
this
and
we
always
say
we
didn't
ask.
N
What's
good,
we
always
ask
what's
bad,
because
we
don't
want
to
repeat
the
same
mistakes
and
you
know
they
they
to
a
person
said
well,
this
stuff's
gonna
wear
out,
and
you
know
three
or
four
years
as
much
wear
and
tear
As
It
Gets
and
we
went
to
another
jail
and
they
had
Corian
countertops.
Well,
we
all
know
Corian
countertops
are
somewhat
pricey
and
I
can
I'll.
Never
forget.
N
N
M
B
N
Well,
the
second
one
is
the
next
one
is
claims.
Oh
yeah
claims.
I
know
this,
isn't
the
appropriate
committee
for
this,
but
I
was
actually
during
the
finance
committee.
I
was
actually
at
the
border
and
was
unable
to
attend
the
finance
committee
to
defend
myself
and
then
yesterday
we
were
out
of
town,
so
I
was
unable
to
come
to
the
county
board
meeting
yesterday
we
have
three
claims
that
were
not
recommended
for
approval:
I
believe
that
they've
all
been
approved
and
be
my
guess.
N
N
The
first
claim
is
a
we
sent
a
correctional
officer
to
testify
in
federal
court
in
a
lawsuit
involving
a
couple
of
jail
officers
in
our
Medical
Department.
This
individual
was
involved
in
an
altercation
in
the
jail
and
when
our
officers
broke
it
up,
he
made
the
claim
of
excessive
force.
In
that
case
ended
up
going
to
trial.
We
did
win
by
the
way
we
paid
nothing.
N
N
However,
there
was
no
meal
receipt,
so
she
was
down
in
federal
court
in
Peoria
all
day
and
didn't
eat
so
or
didn't
submit
a
claim
for
food.
So
apparently
that
is
that
was
not
approved
by
our
auditor.
There
was
no
call,
no
email
and
if
you
check
the
door
during
normal
business
hours,
the
office
is
locked,
so
the
second
one
we
have
monthly
with
the
State's
Attorney's
Office
a
what's
called
a
detective
Sergeant
meeting,
and
that
meeting
is
as
as
we
talked
about
earlier,
that
the
question
Mr
Hunter
asked.
N
We
have
a
meeting
with
all
departments
in
the
county
are
invited
to
come
to
this,
not
only
all
the
Departments,
but
we
have
members
of
the
United,
the
U.S
Marshals
Great
Lakes
fugitive
task
force.
We
have
officers
who
are
assigned
not
the
county,
but
there
are
agencies
who
have
officers
assigned
to
an
FBI
task
force
and
we
also
have
officers
who
are
assigned
to
an
ATF
task
force
and
those
individuals
also
come
to
the
meeting
so
normally
there's
about
30
or
so
people
from
law
enforcement
within
the
county.
N
Jim
Rowe
and
I
talked
about
this
over
two
years
ago
that,
because
basically,
what
happens
in
Kankakee
just
like
anything
else,
what
happens
in
Kankakee
may
happen
in
the
county.
What
happens
in
Bradley
may
happen
in
Bourbon
a
we're
dealing
with
all
the
same
people.
So
maybe
you
know
during
the
course
of
our
normal
day.
We
don't
reach
out
to
Bourbonnais
and
talk
about
hey.
Have
you
guys
had
any
burglaries
or
hey
whatever
so
Jim
also
brings
a
specific
case
law
that
affects
how
law
enforcement
does
their
job.
It's
a
valuable
meeting.
N
N
I
can
tell
you
that
if
our
auditor
wants
to
know
about
sensitive
law
enforcement
information,
he
should
probably
run
for
Sheriff,
because
we
are
not
going
to
provide
sensitive
law
enforcement
information
to
the
auditor.
We're
going
to
have
a
meeting
we're
going
to
provide
lunch.
Those
meetings
last
sometimes
upwards,
of
two
hours.
N
Not
only
is
it
police
and
Corrections,
especially
in
Kankakee
County,
but
it's
also
fire
and
I
know
that
there
were
fire
representatives
from
Kankakee
County
who
went
as
well
and
I
believe
can
comes
represented
from
Cancun
as
well.
This
is
a
system
that
is
county-wide
one
of
only
few
across
the
country
that
every
police
agency
fire
agency
and
in
our
case
Corrections,
is
all
on
the
same
system.
It's
somewhat
unique.
We
are
also
a
demo
site
for
Tyler.
N
So
if,
if
a
law
enforcement
municipality
wants
to
come
to
Kankakee
to
check
out
the
law
enforcement
side
or
the
correction
side,
they
come
to
Kankakee
County,
and
they
these
other
agencies.
Look
at
our
system,
see
how
it
runs
and
I'm
sure
they
asked
the
same
thing.
We
ask
when
we're
building
a
jail.
What's
what's
wrong
with
it?
You
know
instead
of
what's
right
with
it.
So
there
was
167
dollar
dinner
for
the
undersheriff
and
chief
Trent
Bukowski.
That
is
in
question.
I!
N
If
we
follow
that,
that's
a
federal
rate,
whether
that's
the
rate
we
follow
or
not,
I,
don't
know,
but
that's
what
was
quoted
again
there.
There
was
no
calls
no
emails.
The
office
was
locked
during
normal
business
hours
and
there's
no
accessibility
by
the
public
or
department
heads
to
the
office
of
auditor.
So
you
know
I
would
ask
that
you
approve
these
claims.
O
G
We
actually
did
move
it
here
for
approval,
so
we
can
pay
these
vendors.
We
can
pay
them.
Yes,
yes,
this
committee
would
be
approving
because
we
don't
want
to
make
the
vendors
wait
a
third
month
in
some
cases,
because
obviously
we're
30
days,
we've
waited.
So
that's
why
we
were
looking
for
some
committee
approval
thought
this
was
appropriate
since
he
was
out
of
town,
okay,.
B
N
Animal
control-
yes,
we're
full
you've,
probably
seen
for
those
of
you
that
follow
on
social
media
there's,
certainly
some
adoptable
dogs
out
there
for
those
interested
they're,
really
good
dogs.
You
guys
should
really
go.
You
really
should
go
check
them
out,
but
we
are
full
because
of
a
an
investigation,
instigated
buy
animal
control
for
a
dog
fighting
ring
that
has
been
broken
up
out
in
out
in
the
Pembroke
area.
N
Some
of
these
dogs
are
running
at
large.
The
calls
haven't,
I
mean
they've
done
a
great
job
in
in
kind
of
prioritizing
a
need,
but
we
are.
We
are
definitely
full
and,
and
we're
not
sure
of
a
time
frame
that
we
can
start
moving
some
of
these
dogs
out.
So
the
animal
control
report,
which
is
normally
done
at
Community
Services
I,
did
mention
to
the
chairman,
I
thought.
Maybe
Carrie
could
come
here
and
report
to
this
committee
instead
of
community
service,
but
I
don't
know
how
with
that
entails.
G
G
But
if
you
want
her
to
actually
interact
that
that's
fine,
too,
don't
have
to
come
twice
a
month,
but
you
know
I
do
think
that
since
we
have
set
that
up
that,
maybe
we
at
least
still
sent
on
the
report
so
they're
able
to
because
or
I
would
have
to
get
awac
members
appointed
to
this
committee.
Sure
that
would.
N
N
E
N
N
There's
still,
we
still
respond
to
calls
and
and
all
that
in
every
jurisdiction,
it's
just
what
they
end
up
paying
you
know,
but
the
problem
now
is
with
us
being
full
when,
when
bourbon
a
calls,
I
mean
it's
tough,
because
with
based
on
the
contract,
we
have
to
take
that
dog
in
and
you
know
we
don't
have
any
room
so
that
that
makes
it
difficult.
So
Kankakee
city
is
on
board
with
doing
what
they
need
to
do
to
contract.
So.
E
N
Yeah,
it
was
eye-opening
two
things
and
and
I
thought.
Jeff
Bonnie
wrote
a
nice
article
about
it.
Obviously
we're
not
a
border,
you
know
we're
not
on
the
border.
We
all
know
that
two
things
that
really
opened
my
eyes
was
the
fact
that
our
wall
is
the
wall
isn't
on
the
border.
The
wall
is
like
eight
to
ten
miles:
inland
cool,
eight
to
ten
miles
inland
and
so
in
some
places,
there's
literally
subdivisions
on
the
south
side
of
the
wall.
N
It's
a
crazy
I
mean
that
and
that's
you
never
hear
about
that.
I
mean
because
everybody
says
the
border
wall,
the
border
wall
and
you
think
well,
here's
the
wall
and
here's
Mexico.
Well,
that's
not
the
case.
I
mean
here's,
the
wall,
here's
eight
to
ten
miles
and
then
here's
Mexico.
So
that's
that
was
kind
of
interesting,
but
two
things
that
that
concern.
Us,
obviously,
is
the
amount
of
fentanyl
that's
coming
in
our
country.
Obviously,
and
I
don't
know,
Bob
and
Eric
are
here
today,
but
I
know.
N
N
I
mean
we
have
our
own
homeless
people
who
we
don't
give
money
to,
and
we
don't
provide
for
and
I
think
that
that
was
probably
the
most
frustrating
for
me
was
seeing.
You
know
the
fact
that
everybody
wants
to
provide
money
to
all
these
migrants,
but
we
don't
even
provide
for
our
own
I
mean
and
I
just
it
was
frustrating,
and
then
you
get
on
top
of
that.
N
N
Yeah
House
Bill
3755,
which
I
think
I
talked
to
this
committee
before
this
is
the
bill
that
allows
for
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections.
It's
a
re-entry
bill
and
it
allows
for
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections
to
return
an
inmate
to
the
county
that
they
plan
to
return
to
once
they're
released,
and
this
allows
the
only
Department
of
Corrections
to
attempt
to
send
them
back
12
months
early
to
finish
out
their
sentence
in
the
county
where
they're
returning
to
so.
N
N
Housing
things
like
that
they
can
participate
in
our
in
our
programs
in
our
jail.
The
problem,
like
any
other
time
the
state's
involved
is
there
was
no
money
included
in
this
bill,
so
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections
will
be
basically
transferring
the
balance
of
the
expense
to
our
local
taxpayers
in
Kankakee
County.
N
It
is
an
added
expense
to
local
taxpayers
that
I'm
just
not
willing
to
bear
at
this
point.
If
there's
some
sort
of
negotiation
where
they
can
negotiate
a
price
better
than
35
dollars
a
day,
then
we
can
certainly
talk
and
the
last
number
that
I
know
of
that
Illinois.
The
IDOC
was
talking
in
what
it
cost
them
is
over
somewhere
between
140
to
170
dollars
a
day
to
house
inmates
in
the
Department
of
Corrections.
Well,
even
if
they
return
them
to
us
and
pay
us
90,
they're
still
saving
money.
N
So
it's
certainly
something
worth
looking
into
again
with
the
with
the
focus
being
a
getting
these
individuals,
the
assistance
they
need
so
that
they
don't
come
back
to
jail.
They
don't
go
back
to
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections,
but
again
it's
not
something
that
the
local
taxpayer
should
pay
for.
M
G
N
Yeah,
it
would
be
difficult.
This
was
a
bill
that
was
pushed
through
from
the
state's
attorney
and
the
sheriff
in
Kane
County
again,
the
concept
of
it
is
great,
I
mean
I,
think
you
know,
people
don't
realize
how
difficult
it
is
for
somebody
getting
out
of
prison,
trying
to
find
a
job
trying
to
find
housing,
trying
to
find
the
basic
necessities
to
function
and
and
when
they
can't
find
those.
What
do
they
do?
They
go
back
to
doing
what
got
them
in
trouble
in
the
first
place,
so
the
concept
of
it
is
great.
N
G
Last
part
about
if
there
is
an
amount
to
pay
for,
because
if
I'm
poking
around
and
getting
politicians
in
Springfield
to
look
at
stuff,
it's
got
to
be
more
than
35
or
60
because
almost
like
juveniles
there's
all
these
other
re-entry
services
that
we
have
to
contract,
for
which
is
probably
just
as
much
as
the
daily
housing
in
and
of
itself.
If
you
start
to
look
at
the
professional,
you
know
Health
Services,
job
training,
you
know
what
I'm
talking
about
it's,
it's
not
just
going
to
be
keeping
them
here.
The
last
month,
yeah.
N
No
I
mean,
and
obviously
even
the
you
know,
our
locals
and
our
feds
now
have
opportunities
to
participate
in
in
the
number
of
programs.
You
know,
and
we
would
certainly
you
know,
do
that
as
well.
I
know,
IDOC
offers
a
number
of
programs
some
probably
better
than
they
can
get
in
the
county
jail.
But
it's
all
about
you
know
at
some
point.
N
Yeah
there's
resources
out
there
and
we
have
a
list
of
of
places
that
we'll
hire
convicted
felons,
because
some
you
know
won't,
but
we
have
that
list
and
the
idea
is
not
to
keep
sending
them
back
and
forth
to
prison.
The
idea
is
to
get
them
working,
you
know
be
around
for
their
kids
be
around
for
their
families,
so.
B
In
your
package,
you
have
a
copy
of
the
monthly
report
and
the
monthly
receipts
and
money
from
the
coroner's
office
I
take
a
motion
to
approve
them.
They
are
not
here
today.
They
have
a
homicide
last
night
and
they're
at
autopsies
this
morning.
So
take
a
motion
to
approve
Mr
Fairfield.
Second,
by
Mr,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
same
sign.
