Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 9/13/2023 7:30 AM
A
Good
morning
welcome
to
the
September
13th
criminal
justice
committee
meeting
Kelly
roll
call,
please
Mr
President.
A
You
Kelly
next
we
have
the
approval
of
minutes
from
the
August,
9th
2023
meeting.
I'm.
Sorry
I
skipped
one
public
comment:
I,
don't
have
any
requests
for
public
comment.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
back?
That
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment,
seeing
none
we'll
move
on
to
those
minutes.
Approval
of
the
minutes,
August
9
2023
do
I,
have
a
motion:
Mr
Fairfield,
Mr
Scanlon,
all
in
favor.
A
C
Hey
good
morning,
good
morning,
just
a
couple
things
to
report
on
the
courthouse
renovation
in
the
basement
is
now
complete
and
it
is
fully
occupied.
Now
we
have
our
minute
clerks
and
floater
clerks.
They
moved
in
this
week,
I
think
there's
what
14
of
them
or
so
15,
and
then
we
have
all
our
court
reporters
down
there
and
some
administrative
staff
there's
a
jail
holding
cell
down
there,
that's
operational
and
about
155
60
comfortable
seats
for
those
citizens
that
come
in
that
are
summoned
in
for
jury
duty.
C
So
that
is
probably
the
the
nicest
thing
about
the
basement.
Really.
Is
that
they're
not
sitting
in
those
hard
plastic
chairs
with
no
cell
phones,
no
laptops?
They
do
have
access
to
their
cell
phones
and
there's
lockers
down
there
for
their
cell
phones
and
for
their
laptops
and
charging
stations.
So
it's
it's
a
much
better
environment
for
them
when
they
sometimes
have
to
wait
several
hours
for
a
case
to
be
called
and
for
them
to
be
called
upstairs
so
we're
all
so
busy.
C
I
think
everybody
in
this
room
in
the
back
there
busy
with
getting
ready
for
Monday
Monday's
the
big
day
when
the
safety
act
goes
into
effect
and
we
are
working
with
all
our
stakeholders,
the
sheriff
State's
Attorney
public
defender,
probation,
Circuit,
Clerk
and
getting
ready
for
for
that
day.
We
do
have
four
four
judges
right
now
that
are
going
to
be
doing
the
detention
hearings,
the
two
main
judges
will
be
judge,
Elliott
and
judge
Dickinson
on
the
third
floor.
C
They
are
our
felony
judges
and
then
myself
and
judge
Claudio
would
be
the
the
backup
if
they're
tied
up
in
a
jury,
trial
or
or
whatever
so
that's
coming
along,
fine
I
think
we're
I
think
we're
ready
for
it,
I'm,
not
sure
what
to
expect,
but
we're
we're
ready
to
follow
the
law.
The
best
that
we
can
interpret
it.
Any
questions.
A
D
You
judge
can
I
talk
about
inquiry.
I
was
raised
on
a
700
block
of
Rosewood
and
right
behind
my
residence
as
as
a
kid
there's
apartment,
building,
758,
North,
Greenwood
and
I
can
relate
to
the
number
of
homicides
of
transpired
at
that
location.
D
I
I
know
that
that
you
know
I,
wonder
I'm,
not
an
attorney
or
anything,
but
I
was
wondering
if
indeed,
there's
like
something
that
can
be
done
with
respect
to
any
gun
related
charges,
if
bails
could
be
established
at
a
higher
level
than
they
might
be.
At
this
point
and
I
know
that
you
have
to
do.
Research
stays
turning
us
through
research.
In
terms
of
you
know,
the
alleged
crime
committed
the
background
of
the
person
being
charged
well.
D
What
can
we
do
in
terms
of
giving
a
message
to
you
know
our
youth,
that,
if
you
get
busted
with
a
gun
in
terms
of
crime,
related
act,
that
your
bail
is
going
to
be
so
high
that
you
know
that
that
would
be
something
that
would
dissuade
kids
from
from
doing
or
committing
the
crime.
C
That's
a
good
question.
Well,
first
of
all,
there
will
be
no
bail
whatsoever.
There
will
be
no
bail
set
monetary
bail,
okay.
So
what
we
have
are,
what
we're
left
with
is
either
detaining
the
defendant
for
up
to
90
days
pending
trial
or
bail
conditions
conditions
such
as
like
a
scram
bracelet.
C
If
you're
consuming
alcohol,
there's
GPS
monitoring
that
we
can
do,
there's
preach
what
we
call
pre-trial
Services,
where
the
probation
department
gets
involved
and,
and
they
can
do,
they
can't
even
do
drug
testing
anymore
without
jumping
through
some
hoops
there.
So
you
know
that's,
that's
all
I
can
tell
you.
C
That's
correct:
you
could
shoot
10
people
and
you
can
be
arrested.
C
You
can
be
detained
pending
A
detention,
hearing
within
48
hours,
but
and
then
even
then,
the
state
still
has
to
prove
a
number
of
factors
to
the
judge
before
the
judge
can
make
a
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
to
detain
that
person
but
I
I
know
you
asked
about
and
in
service
before
and
I
think
I
punted
that
football
to
Mr
Rowe,
because
I
think
he's
better
suited
to
because
he's
doing
all
the
police
departments
and
things
like
that.
D
B
C
C
There
are
a
couple
well
there's
two
two
points
to
to
recognize.
If
the
defendant
says
I
need
more
time,
then
okay,
that's
charged
against
him.
So
that's
not
a
charge
against
the
90
days
and
then
there's
also
a
couple
exceptions
that
if
you're
waiting
on
DNA
from
the
crime
lab,
you
can
get
some
extension
for
that,
but
other
than
that,
that's
a
hard
and
fast
Rule.
Now
it's
a
little
different
than
our
speedy
trial
statute,
which
is
if
you're
in
custody.
C
You
have
to
be
tried
within
120
days
or
if
you're
out
of
custody,
and
you
file
a
written
motion
for
Speedy
Trial.
You
have
to
be
tried
within
160
days.
You
blow
either
one
of
those
statutes,
then
that
those
charges
are
dismissed
now
in
this
case,
if
the
state
blows
the
90
days
he's
released,
but
the
charges
still
remain,
but
you
know
the
the
murderer
could
go
free
and
there's
nothing
you
can
do
about
it
very.
A
Good
well,
thank
you
for
the
information
sure
thank
you.
Judge,
wow
I
think
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
learning
curve
here.
Miss
siancing
the
Circuit
Clerk.
A
Go
ahead:
oh
very
good.
I
need
motion
to
accept
Miss
herbs
and
Colton
first
and
second,
all
in
favor.
F
G
So
nothing's,
unusual
or
customary
Craig
did
ask
me
a
little
bit,
though,
about
the
office
retainer
fee
for
the
last
month.
So
if
you
look
on
the
the
three-page
document
end
of
period
listing
so
last
month,
we
brought
in
twenty
four
thousand
one
hundred
forty
one
dollars,
and
that
was
the
10
Bond
retainer,
which
will
be
going
away
quickly
and
then
he
asked
different
questions
like
for,
since
Bourbonnais
is
right
up
on
top
here,
where
you
see
four
different
amounts
of
numbers
amounts
of
money
that
Bourbonnais
received.
G
That's
from
the
the
actual
traffic,
fines
and
or
criminal
case
fines
and
costs
that
they've
paid
people
have
paid.
So
that
won't
go
away
necessarily,
but
the
bond
will.
A
G
G
A
G
I
Sandy
just
a
quick
question
here
at
the
at
near
the
end
of
the
report.
The
fourth
lineup
says:
Teen
Court,
yes
1231.75.
What
is
that
so.
G
C
Just
questions
am
I
on
here.
Yes,
this
is
coming
from
the
former
director
of
our
Kankakee
County
Teen
Court
right.
I
C
So
that's
a
good
question
that
five
dollars
is
being
collected
pursuant
to
a
resolution
that
the
County
Board
passed,
probably
16
17
years
ago
now
right
and
the
actual
official
Kankakee
County
Teen,
Court,
Incorporated
Corporation
and
the
organization
that
was
running.
It
has
basically
folded
and
it's
been
it's
taken
over
by
Mr
Rowe
and
they
have
their
own
I'm,
not
sure
if
they
even
call
it
team
quarter.
What's
it
called.
G
C
Yeah,
okay,
Messiah
justice
but
and
I
talked
to
Mr
Rowe.
Basically,
we
need
a
resolution
to
take
the
money.
That's
been
accumulating
from
as
a
result
of
that
resolution
yeah.
If
the
County
Board
agrees
and
and
pay
it
over
to
Mr
Rowe
for
funding
of
his
program,
I
think
he
was
on
board
with
that,
but
I.
B
A
G
Yeah,
so
Tyler
is
moving
along
very
well.
The
project
we've
had
our
first
transmission
of
files
transferred
over
this
week,
so
we,
my
people
that
have
been
working
on
it,
have
been
relieved
of
some
of
those
duties
while,
while
it's
generating
so
then
there
then
once
it's
done
this
week,
then
they're
going
to
start
testing
what
they
have
received
to
see
if
it
all
went
to
the
right
place.
G
Well,
yeah
the
judge
kind
of
already
said
that
they
moved
this
week:
Friday
Monday
and
Tuesday.
The
upstairs
looks
like
a
bomb
hit
it
in
the
other
offices,
but
they're
they're
doing
well
a
few
of
them
said
they
really
weren't
looking
forward
to
going
down
there,
but
now
that
they
are
there
they're
happy.
So.
B
G
So
it's
just
you
know:
you're
blending,
three
different
offices
of
people
into
one
room
now
that
have
never
really
worked
together
in
the
same
area.
So
there
will
be
some
adjustments,
but
it's
going
pretty
well
very.
G
K
Morning,
everybody
we
had
36
true
bills
last
month
or
this
month
rather
I,
think
we've
got
like
625
people
that
have
been
charged
with
crimes
this
year.
As
far
as
the
safety
act
goes,
Jim
has
been
conducting
trainings
all
over
the
place.
K
All
the
police
departments
we've
had
several
in
our
office
I
think
that
well,
when
you
get
as
old
as
I
am
you've
been
told,
the
sky
has
been
falling
multiple
times
in
the
past
and,
like
anything
else
that
happens,
you
know
we
will
deal
with
it
to
the
best
of
our
ability
and
I.
Think
Jim's
got
us
ready
to
go,
but
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
them.
A
Any
questions
very
good:
we
still
need
a
motion
and
a
second
for
the
for
the
acceptance
Mr
Colton
Mr
Fairfield,
all
in
favor
aye.
Thank
you
very
much
next
up.
Thank
you
for
your
report.
Next
up
is
public
defender's
office
Mr
penowick
do
I,
have
a
motion
and
a
secondary
acceptance
report.
Mr
Scanlon
this
Monday,
all
in
favor.
H
D
I
mentioned
you,
I
was
going
to
ask
you
how
the
safety
act
has
impacted
your
shop.
H
It's
obviously
complicated
and
I
could
talk
about
it
forever.
We've
had
numerous
meetings
with
the
judges
on
all
the
other
stakeholders
regarding
what
probably
will
happen,
but
we
don't
know
yet
and
that's
a
truism
at
this
point.
I've.
H
Been
lucky
enough,
there's
a
a
state
legislature
passed
a
law
that
provided
initial
funding
to
my
office,
so
I
did
hire
another
assistant
who,
assuming
she
passes
a
bar,
which
you
will
will
take
over
and
assist
in
in
helping
us
out
for
the
for
the
extra
workload
everybody's
talked
about
what
could
happen
and,
what's
going
to
happen,
there
could
be
many
trials
because
subpoena
Witnesses
it
could
become
incredibly
time
intensive.
We
will
see.
H
Monday
I
mean
it's
going
to
start
rubber
is
going
to
start
hitting
the
road,
Monday
I
guess
to
address
your
concern.
Regarding
you
know:
detention
I'm,
a
realist.
You
know
if
the
court
finds
that
the
person
is
a
real
and
present
threat
to
the
safety
of
any
person
or
persons
or
the
community,
they
can
be
detained.
So
under
your
scenario,
Mr
Hunter,
if
there's
a
shooting
case,
I'm
a
realist,
I
mean
I
could
argue
to
the
judge.
H
You
know:
well
he
shot
that
guy,
but
he's
happy
now
so
he's
not
going
to
shoot
anybody
else.
So
let
him
out
I,
don't
think
that's
going
to
fly,
you
know.
Maybe
it
will
I,
don't
know.
We
all
have
different
duties
here.
The
state's
attorney
has
their
specific
duties
and
policies.
I
have
my
ethical
obligations
to
my
client
exclusively
or
mostly
exclusively,
obviously,
a
secondary
and
equally
important
duty
to
the
court
system,
of
course,
and
the
judges
have
to
do
apply
the
law.
So
we
have
three
different
competing
forces
here.
H
Obviously
the
judge
has
the
final
say
in
all
of
it.
So
it's
going
to
be.
It
can
become
very
interesting.
The
time
the
timelines,
the
judge
talked
about
again,
I'm
being
a
realistic.
You
know
90
days,
120
days,
it's
30
days.
Unfortunately,
we've
got
people
sitting
in
jail
for
years
now
awaiting
trial.
H
So
is
everyone
going
to
enforce
that
90-day
rule?
All
of
a
sudden
I
mean
Statewide.
There's
going
to
be,
people
are
going
to
say.
Yes,
we're
going
to
do
this.
You
know
Cook
County
is
going
to
might
say
90
days
90
days
90
days,
but
to
me
it's
just
a
reduction
in
30
days
on
a
collateral
issue
of
detention.
So
you
know
again,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
foretell
the
future
and
say
what
I
am
I'm
not
going
to
do.
H
Come
Monday
but,
like
Mr
Coughlin
said
in
a
perfect
world,
I
think
it's
going
to
work
out
to
some
degree.
I've
got
problems
with
the
law
on
many
many
levels,
which
is
not
why
I'm
here
this
afternoon
this
morning,
but
it
is
what
it
is
and
we're
definitely
doing
our
best
to
make
sure
we
can
at
least
implement
it
effectively.
Monday.
A
I
L
Safety
act
just
go
ahead
for
us.
It's
a
little
bit
of
a
it'll,
be
a
little
bit
delayed
where
we
are
where
we're
at
in
the
process.
Our
numbers
will
build
over
time
and
we'll
just
have
to
wait
and
see.
I
think
how
we
process
violations
of
any
pre-trial
conditions
or
even
regular
probation
cases,
we'll
just
have
to
wait
and
see
the
thing
that
impacts
that
right
now
is
the
vacancies.
Always
I
always
bring
talk,
discuss
when
I'm
here
we're
still
down
to
another
one.
L
So
it's
couldn't
that
couldn't
be
at
the
worst
time
than
that,
so
we're
trying
to
we'll
deal
with
it,
we'll
supervise
kind
of
like
what
judge
Huntington
touched
on,
there's
limited
when
it
comes
to
pre-trial
supervision,
it's
very
limited
to
what
we
can
do
anyway.
It's
basically
don't
reoffend
and
show
up
for
court
a
lot
of
other
conditions.
Really
we
won't
enforce
so
we'll
handle
it
the
best
we
can,
but
with
that
vacancy
issue,
I
discussed
it's
even
impacting
and
the
juvenile
decide
Juvenile
Detention
right
now.
L
As
you
know,
we
house
most
of
our
juveniles
up
at
River,
Valley
and
Juliet
they're
hit
hard
with
vacancies
and
Staffing
shortages.
It's
a
102
bed
facility
and
I
think
they
can
only
stay
off,
maybe
for
25
30
beds.
So
about
25
you
know
30
percent
whatever.
So
it's
it's
a
problem.
You
know
we're
just
we're
simply
running
out
of
beds
because
obviously
Juliet
has
kids
in
there.
Other
Counties
have
kids
in
there
we're
using
it.
L
Some
counties
that
border
another
state,
Indiana
Missouri
Iowa,
are
sending
kids
out
of
state
to
detain
them
just
for
temporary
detention.
So
we
haven't
looked
at
that
yet,
but
I
mean
every
Friday.
Juliet
will
call
me
and
say
when
we
have
room
for
maybe
one
or
two
or
three,
you
know
depending
on
the
situation.
So
it's
a
problem.
L
The
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
was.
We
did
get
a
drug
court
Grant.
We
had
for
five
years
worth
two
million
dollars.
L
We
got
that
renewed
for
another
five
years,
starting
September
1st,
so
400
000
a
year
and
that's
a
huge
help,
especially
right
now
I
mean
it's
pays
part
of
the
problem:
solving
Court,
coordinator,
salary
and
obviously
a
lot
of
different
supplies,
equipment,
drug
testing,
counseling,
client
support,
related
items,
different
things
like
that.
That
was
that's
a
good
thing,
so
that
was
we're
waiting
for
that
news
so
and
related
to
that
we
have
the
drug
court
auction,
October
20th
at
seven
o'clock
or
six
o'clock.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
chairman
Tom
I
have
a
question
here,
a
few
years.
I
believe
it.
But
a
year
or
so
ago
your
department
had
to
hire
an
outside
person
to
come
back,
come
to
your
department
to
do
the
acupuncture.
B
F
L
Was
good,
it
was
very
good
I.
Thank
you
again
because
you're,
a
big
part
of
that
helping
us
out
with
that
and
guiding
us
to
some
people.
It's
going
very
well.
I
can
just
speak
to
the
numbers,
the
people
that
participate
in
it,
because
I
can
see
it
on
the
camera.
When
he's
there-
and
it's
very
well
very
well
received
going
very
well
I
know
Renee
Palmer,
who
runs
our
drug
court,
really
says
it's
going
well
and
it's
well
received.
So
it's
it's
gone
very
a
lot
better
in
our
last
situation.
L
L
Yeah
I
think
it's
it's
before,
and
I
can
I,
don't
have
numbers
for
you,
but
I
get
to
see
by
looking
at
it
on
the
camera.
How
many
people
line
up
and
are
you
know,
are
scheduled
for
it
versus
before?
Okay?
So
it's
going
very
well
and
as
you
talk
to
people
in
the
hallway
and
talk
to
Renee,
it's
going
very
well.
I
Was
Monday,
yeah,
13.,
I'm,
sorry
12.,
so
I
think
am
I
on
I'm
already
on
so
so
the
question
is,
did
you
you
said
acupuncture
correct,
so
this
is
for
staff.
No.
L
I
L
I
F
Miss
German
I
just
want
to
clear
that
up
well
before
I
think
the
department
was
utilizing
the
needling
the
process
of
needling
the
year
for
helping
with
a
drug
addiction,
and
then
that
was
substituted
to
remove
the
bypassing
the
skin
or
inserting
the
needle.
By
doing
what
they
call
the
ear
of
seating.
D
F
Promotes
the
same
effect,
but
without
bypassing
the
skin,
which
that
helps
them
many
different
ways,
because
you
don't
have
the
exposure
to
blood,
you
don't
have
the
other
issues
that
happening
just
put
the
the
seeds
the
specific
seed
on
the
same
acupuncture
points
that
will
promote
the
same
effect.
So
there's
no
needling,
no
bypassing
the
skin
at
this
moment,
I
believe
correct.
A
I
think
we
learned
something
here
this
morning,
very
good
anything
else.
Tom!
That's
that's
it.
Thank
you
for
your
report.
Thank
you.
We're
going
to
change
here
a
little
bit
Mrs
Blair
on
the
animal
control
I'd
like
to
have
her
come
up
next,
as
most
of
you
know,
we
have
a
little
activity
this
morning
know
how
to
carries
new
place
so
I'll.
Let
her
talk
about
that.
A
M
So
the
top
of
the
report
talks
about
our
funds
this
month
compared
to
what
we
had
last
year.
It's
a
lot
lower
and
that
goes
hand
in
hand
with
the
other
sheet,
where
it
shows
our
intake
we
and
took
close
to
100
animals
and
only
about
a
quarter
of
them
went
home.
So
a
lot
of
those
animals
are
staying
in
our
building
either
are
still
there.
They
go
to
a
rescue
or
they're
euthanized,
one
or
one
way
or
another.
M
And
not
being
picked
up
by
their
owners,
so
a
lot
of
fees
that
we
received
last
year
are
not
happening
this
year
because
the
owners
are
not
being
responsible
with
their
pets.
So
it's
unfortunate
that
way.
As
far
as
I
report,
anything
I
don't
really
have
much
else
on
the
report,
because
there
are
questions
on.
A
M
The
only
thing
other
thing
I
have
is
next
month
at
Apple
criminal
justice
meeting,
we
will
be
holding
a
hearing
for
a
reckless
dog
owner.
That's
something
that
Mr
Coughlin
worked
with
the
previous
director
on
instituting
an
ordinance
for
a
reckless
dog.
I
will
have
Kelly,
send
out
the
ordinance
to
you
guys,
so
you
can
refer
to
that
when
doing
the
hearing,
it's
basically
we
bring
the
evidence
to
you,
you
decide.
If
this
owner
is
reckless
or
not,
and
if
they
are
Reckless,
they
we
take
their
animals
during
the
hearing
time.
M
What
is
it
to
appeal?
It?
Yes,
and
then
we
take
their
animals
during
that
time
and
then,
if
they
are
found
to
be
a
reckless
dog
owner,
they
cannot
own
a
dog
for
36
months.
So
this
is
an
ongoing
problem
that
we
had
to
Institute
in
an
organs
because
of
this
situation.
So.
E
M
D
13.,
thank
you
very
much.
Can
you
give
me
some?
You
know,
speaking
to
the
ordinance
of
course
in
front
of
me.
Could
you
give
me
some
illustrative
examples
of
a
reckless
owner
so.
M
It's
basically
if
they
are
found
guilty
of
three
violations
within
a
two-year
period,
I
believe,
and
so
we
can
just
determine
what
they
we
can
go
ahead
and
submit
the
hearing.
If
we,
if
we
determine
that
they
put
that
criteria
so
reckless,
meaning
that
they're
they're
found
their
dogs
are
found
running
at
large
and
they
have
been
found
guilty
of
that
certain
things
like
that.
J
Nine,
thank
you
Mr
chairman.
So
is
there
going
to
be
like
backs
of
findings
for
this
like
how
we
have
it
with
pza
or
how
does
that
go?
Yeah.
M
We
have
a
whole
Reckless
owner
investigation
and.
O
M
M
So
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
it
all
works,
I
think
that
Terry
ASA
Gaudi
can
you
know,
fill
us
in
on
how
the
it
all
works.
That
way.
This
is
my
first
time
as
well.
Okay,
but
we
I
do
invite
the
that
party
to
come
as
well.
P
So
we're
going
back
to
the
animals
that
aren't
getting
picked
up,
could
they
be
classified
as
Reckless
owners
as
far
as.
M
M
If
we
know
who
the
owner
is,
we
could
charge
him
with
abandonment,
which
is
a
misdemeanor
crime,
and
then,
if
they
are
found
guilty
of
that
and
it's
three
times,
then
they
could
be
found
as
a
reckless
owner
as
well.
Yes,
okay.
M
Go
what
about
dog
fighting
same
thing?
I
mean
that's
a
that's
a
felony
charge
too,
so
they
found
guilty
of
that
it's
jail
time
and
then
we
I
believe
we
can
do
I,
don't
know
if
we
can
direct
this
over
on
that
I
would
assume
so
I,
don't
know
if
the
order
that
states
One,
Way
or
Another-
but
that
was
a
question
I-
was
going
to
talk
to
moscowity
about
as.
M
More
of
an
ordinance,
okay
and
then
the
other
one
I,
don't
know
if
the
state
has
different
charge
statutes
for
that
for
all
right.
Thank.
M
We
do
we
hope
to
see
everybody
there
this
morning,
if
we're
groundbreaking,
so
yeah
that's
happening
at
10
o'clock,
10
o'clock
this
morning
at
our
new
building,
134
Mooney
drive.
We
are
excited
that
the
process
has
begun,
I'm
excited
to
be
in
the
building
in
a
year
or
so
or
less.
A
You
all
right
next
Sheriff
Downing
need
a
motion
and
a
second
in
their
packet.
There's
a
declaration
also
of
surplus
vehicles,
so
we're
gonna
combine
the
report
and
the
declaration
together
motion
by
Mr
Hunter
and
Colton
nekov,
all
in
favor
any
opposed
very
good.
N
N
Kerry
already
reminded
you
about
the
groundbreaking.
We
certainly
would
like
to
see
everybody
out
there
as
she
said.
We're
all
excited
for
it.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
something
that
is
going
to
be
beneficial
to
our
community,
so
hopefully
10
o'clock,
even
though
they've
already
started
moving
some
dirt
we're
going
to
move
a
little
dirt
too
and
make
it
make
it
official.
N
N
We're
not
sure
at
this
point,
what's
going
to
happen
after
Monday,
but
again,
I.
Think,
as
everybody
said,
it's
a
it's
a
work
in
progress
that
we'll
all
be
dealing
with
and
and
learning
on
the
fly
as
well
as
you
can
see
on
the
upper
right
hand
corner
the
inmate
revenue
for
the
so
far
for
the
year
through
August
is
2.2
million
dollars
of
increase
from
where
we
were
last
year.
N
That
is
significant,
because
I
will
tell
you
that,
as
you've
heard
from
Mr,
Latham
and
and
regarding
his
own
staff
in
regarding
River
Valley,
everybody
is
short
staffed,
so
that
has
created
for
us
that
has
created
a
little
bit
more
over
time.
So
there
are
expenses,
but
we
think
that
the
increase
in
Revenue
will
cover
the
majority
of
that,
so
should
cover
all
of
it,
but
and
then
with
some
left
over.
So
there
is
a
need
for
overtime.
N
There
are
a
need
for
making
sure
that
our
staff
is
safe
and
so
with
the
short
staffing
numbers,
we
do
our
deputies
we're
at
full
staff
on
the
on
the
patrol
side.
So
we
have
not
had
an
issue.
Yet
we
are
going
to
test
again
coming
up
here
shortly
after
we
meet
with
the
mayor
commission,
and
so
we
will
be
testing
again
because,
as
we
have
deputies
who
get
to
that
age
and
Link
the
service
they
choose
to
retire,
which
is
a
good
thing
that
they
can
retire
and
enjoy
enjoy
their
life.
N
So
I
don't
know.
If
I
mentioned
this
last
meeting,
I
don't
think
I
did.
But
we
are
currently
working
on
a
cost
and
revenue
report
that
we
can
provide
to
you.
That's
going
to
show
you
what
it
costs
to
house
our
local
inmates
versus
what
it
costs
to
house
our
out-of-county
inmates,
and
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
that
and
and
what
what
I
mean
by
that
is.
N
We,
we
include
everything
from
maintenance
costs,
to
benefits,
costs,
to
everything
that
we
use
to
run
the
operation
out
at
out
of
Jerome,
Combs
so
and
the
downtown
jail,
so
those
numbers,
I
think
will
will
shed
a
little
bit
more
light
on.
N
You
know
what
we're
doing
and
why
we're
doing
it
and
the
benefits
that
the
county
sees
from
that
program.
So
we
will
pretty
sure
we'll
have
it
at
the
next
meeting
a
couple
things
we
thought
we
thought
when
ice
left
we'd
be
really
done
with
inspections,
but
some
of
you
that
may
know
this
others
may
not.
N
The
Sheriff's,
Office
and
Jerome
Combs
Detention
Center
is
accredited
through
the
national
ncchc,
the
national
Commission
on
Correctional
Health
Care,
which
is
which
is
huge
for
us,
because
that
is
a
best
practices
accreditation,
so
that
when
we
get
these
frivolous
lawsuits,
you
know
the
judge
and
the
attorneys
can
can
say
hey.
You
know
these
are
best
practices
by
this
National,
Organization
and,
and
that
has
helped
us
significantly.
So
we
just
went
through
that
inspection.
N
I
can
tell
you
that
our
Medical
Department
did
an
outstanding
job
in
providing
the
information
they
need,
and
these
are.
These
are
people
who
come
in
and
they
are
they
come
in
from
all
over
the
country.
N
All
of
them
have
Correctional
health
care
experience,
whether
they
were
jail
administrators,
whether
they
were
medical
people
who
worked
in
the
jail.
So
they
know
what
they're
looking
for
and
and
again
as
I
said
about
any
inspection
inspections
make
us
better.
So
we
were,
we
were
glad
to
go
through
it.
N
It
was
a
little
bit
rigorous
and
sometimes
you
think
that
they're
being
nitpicky-
and
they
probably
are-
but
you
know
again
it
makes
us
better
so
and
then
actually
today
at
11
o'clock
following
the
groundbreaking,
we
have
the
only
Department
of
Corrections
here
to
do
their
annual
inspection,
so
they
do
annual
inspections
at
our
jail
as
well,
and
they
are
here
today
at
11
o'clock,
so
we're
used
to
those
they
happen
every
year
and
and
we
feel
pretty
comfortable
with
going
through
that
process.
N
So,
on
the
patrol
side,
our
numbers
are
remaining
consistent
compared
to
last
year.
Our
calls
for
service
have
Inc,
have
have
shown
an
increase
and
I
think
I
mentioned
that
last
month,
as
well
and
after
Monday
is
I'm
assuming
and
anticipating
that
those
numbers
will
increase
for
a
number
of
reasons.
But
again
it's
all
kind
of
learn
on
the
Fly
and
see
how
it
goes.
E
N
Okay,
so
yeah
the
mayor
commission,
so
the
mayor
commission
is
is
a
a
group
of
individuals
who
are
appointed
by
this
board.
They
apply
through
this
board
and
it's
it's
statutory
and
it
requires
that
this
mayor
commission
consists
of
five
individuals,
even
though
I
hate,
the
the
political
part
of
it.
But
but
the
statute
says
three
from
the
sheriff's
political
party
and
two
from
the
opposite
party,
and
basically,
what
that
mayor
commission
does
is
it
goes
through
the
applicants
it.
It
sets
up
the
testing.
N
It
sets
up
the
interviews,
they
interview
all
the
potential
deputies
and,
basically,
what
it
does
is
it
takes
away
the
the
political
side
of
the
sheriff
being
able
to
say,
hey,
Chad
Scanlon
helped
me
in
my
campaign,
so
I'm
going
to
hire
him
as
a
deputy,
even
though
he
may
not
be
qualified
he's,
certainly
qualified,
because
he
was
a.
D
N
Police
chief,
however
I
just
used
Shannon,
let's
use
Amanda
or
Colton
or
somebody
else.
So
it's
it's
basically
takes
the
takes
the
politics
out
of
just
appointing
deputies,
nilly
Willy
and
make
sure
that
we
get
qualified
applicants.
They
put
together
the
hiring
list,
and
then
there
are
Merit
commission
rules
in
which
I
have
to
hire
from
that
list,
one
through
ten
or
whatever,
the
the
whatever
the
list
may
be.
So
that's
I,
don't
know.
B
N
No,
we
have
Grant
van
dors,
so
right
now
the
the
we
have
four
individuals
that
I'm
aware
of
at
least
that
are
still
on
the
mayor:
commission,
Grant,
Van
Vorst.
So
it's
you,
son,
Jerry
huckster,
who
just
recently
got
appointed
Lisa,
Dugan
and
Hollis
Clark.
So
there's
four
right:
now
we
have
an
opening
and
we'll
I
think
it
was.
It
was
declared
on
a
last
board
meeting.
N
N
A
Put
that
together
and
made
that
so
in
that
in
that
day
and
time
and
has
served
us
well
through
all
those
years,
it.
N
Has
it
really
has
I
mean
it?
You
know
the
bottom
line
is
and
and
put
all
the
politics
stuff
aside.
I
mean
we
want
the
best
deputies
that
we
can
possibly
get
to
work
our
streets
to
deal
with
the
public
and
again
it
takes
the
whole
political
stuff
out
of
it
and
makes
individuals
who
are
qualified
be
put
on
that
list.
So.
A
A
Good,
so
I
just
want
to
go
back
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
all
of
the
rigors
that
you
go
through
in
the
jail
and
all
the
different
times
that
people
have
came
and
inspected
our
our
system
and
our
our
Sheriff's
facility
and-
and
we
do
well
every
time
and
I-
think
that
you
know
that
says
a
lot
about
us.
It
says
a
lot
about
the
sheriff
and
the
community
as
well,
so
we
do
a
lot
of
things
that
nobody
else
even
thinks
about
doing
it
and.
N
I
appreciate
that,
but
it
says
a
heck
of
a
lot
more
about
our
staff
than
it
does
me,
so
they
do
a
great
job,
both
our
correction
staff,
our
medical
staff,
I've,
said
this
a
hundred
times.
I'll
say
it
again:
individuals
who
are
in
custody
get
better
medical
treatment
than
anybody
in
this
room,
so
you
know
credit
to
them,
and
and
again
it
is
when
people
are
in
custody.
That
is
a
public
health
issue.
N
We
want
these
individuals
to
be
cared
for
medically
so
that
when
they
get
released
because
they
ultimately
will
they
are
better
health-wise
when
they
leave
than
when
they
came
into
our
building
so
credit
to
Dr
long
and
his
staff
and
Liz
Delong
who's
our
medical
director.
We
we
spend
a
lot
of
money.
As
you
see
in
our
budget,
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
our
Medical
Department,
but
it's
well
worth
it
to
avoid
litigation
and
things
like
that.
So
truly
the
inspections.
A
Thank
you,
you
did.
We
talk
about
safety
act,
we.
E
N
N
To
death
we
are
and
and
we'll
beat
it
to
death
as
we
move
forward,
and
you
know
a
credit
to
to
judge
cunnington
and
the
Judiciary.
They
had
a
meeting
last
week,
which
was
really
talked
about
kind
of
the
process
and
what
what
the
expectations
are
going
to
be
and
and
I
can
tell
you,
as
as
we've
talked
with
Jim
Rowe,
who
has
who
has
done
an
outstanding
job
in
preparing
law,
local
law
enforcement.
N
To
get
ready
for
this,
he
has
been,
he
has
been
really
guiding
the
the
training
and
and
are
we
feel
like
we're
more
prepared,
and,
quite
frankly,
we
were
prepared
before
the
lawsuit
I
mean
this
implementation
was
going
to
happen
on
January
1st
of
the
pre-trial
Fairness
Act.
N
We
were
prepared
prior
to
that
because
of
Jim
Roe
because
of
the
ability
to
get
all
the
police
agencies
together,
we
were
prepared
thought,
maybe
something
would
happen
at
the
only
Supreme
Court,
but
it
didn't
so.
We
are
still
prepared
and
we
are
ready
for
the
implementation
of
the
pre-trial
Fairness
Act.
N
The
the
unfortunate
part
in
you
know
I
know
I
get
criticized
sometimes
for
being
too
critical,
but
on
the
state
of
Illinois.
But
you
know
the
state
of
Illinois
kind
of
drags
its
feet
with
some
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
to
move
forward.
So
you
know,
that's
not
uncommon
and
we're
used
to
it,
but
we
are
ready
locally.
N
You
know
the
drawback
for
all
of
us
and
after
especially
after
the
meeting
with
the
judges
which,
in
which
judge
cunnington,
has
put
judge
Dickinson
in
charge
of
kind
of
the
implementation
from
from
the
Court's
perspective
and
and
he's
also
done
a
great
job.
But
the
one
thing
that
we
kind
of
learned
is
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
additional
Financial
impacts
on
our
County
involving
personnel
and,
while
I
hate
to
be
I
hate
to
throw
this
term
around.
N
But
when
you
talk
about
defunding
the
police,
which
now
everybody
says
they're
not
going
to
do
technically,
it's
really
a
backdoor
way
to
defund
the
police,
because
we
have
to
put
other
re.
We
have
to
put
these
resources
in
place
which
could
affect
you
know
the
ability
to
have
deputies
on
the
street
where
we
really
need
them.
So
we
are
and
I've
I've
talked
with
the
chair
chairman
wheeler
about
this.
N
We
are
exploring
the
addition
of
deputies
for
the
courthouse
because,
as
judge
cunnington
indicated,
there
are
going
to
be
four
courtrooms
where
these
detention
hearings
are
going
to
take
place.
I've
got
three
deputies
in
the
courthouse
right
now,
so
we
are.
We
are
actually
exploring
some
ideas,
as
somebody
mentioned
earlier
about
thinking
outside
the
box.
We
talked
about
possibly
utilizing,
maybe
some
part-time
deputies
Mr
long,
Mr
Fairfield,
you
guys
interested
in
coming
back
to
work.
N
We
we'd
love
to
have
you,
but
you
know
right
now
we
have
bailiffs,
but
they
aren't.
You
know
they
aren't
trained,
they
aren't
armed.
You
know
we're
going
to
need.
We
feel
like
the
the
courthouse,
will
will
kind
of
be
a
little
bit
more
there'll
be
a
little
bit
more
going
on
in
the
courthouse.
So
we
are
looking
at
the
possibility
of
possibly
higher
whether
we
hire
a
couple
full-time
in
a
couple,
part-time
and
and
quite
frankly,
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
We
haven't.
B
N
Scanlon
I
forgot
Mr
Scanlon
too,
we
got
all
kinds
of
people
who
can
come
in
and
work.
The
courthouse,
heck
I
think
we're
covered,
we'll
give
you
70
bucks
like
your
per
diem
here
and
you'll,
be
covered
people
get
by
cheaper
than
I
thought.
So,
but
no
we
we,
you
know
we
want
the
courthouse.
N
Obviously
you
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
main
responsibilities
of
the
sheriff
is
security,
the
courthouse
and
the
the
Supreme
Court
and
judge
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
Supreme
Court
has
allowed
us
to
utilize
Zoom
for
the
first
six
months,
so
that
will
help.
But
after
that
six
months
when
people
have
to
appear
in
person,
that's
when
it
will
become
problematic.
N
N
We
are
also
looking
at
the
possibility
to
hire
additional
deputies
to
go
out
and
find
people
who
don't
show
up
to
court
where
they
issue
warrants
right
now
we
do
not
have
a
warrant
detail.
Obviously
we
have
warrant
Wednesday,
that's
very
popular
and
some
people
like
it.
Some
people
hate
it,
but
you
know
that's
not
going
to
cut
it
once
once.
The
this
goes
into
effect
on
September
18th.
There
really
are
not
many
repercussions
for
not
showing
up
to
court,
and
maybe
judges
May,
disagree
with
me.
N
Maybe
Jim
roll
disagree
with
me
maybe
had
pennywick
will
disagree
with
me,
but
quite
frankly,
we
have
lost
the
accountability
aspect
of
of
Life
when
it
comes
to
the
pre-trial
fairness.
There
is
no
reason
and
I
hate
to
say
this,
but
people
know
it.
There
is
literally
no
reason
to
show
up
to
court
right
now
or
on
September
18th,
because
there's
no
repercussions.
N
We
hope
that,
as
as
vague
and
as
in
as
ambiguous
as
the
the
pre-trial
safety
act
or
the
pre-trial
Fairness
Act,
is
that
maybe
we'll
interpret
it
as
we
can
do
more.
We
hope
that
we
we
are
able
to
hold
these
people
accountable,
but
I
just
don't
believe,
based
on
what
I've
heard,
what
I've
read
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
that
and
that'll
be
problematic
for
law
enforcement.
N
It'll
be
problematic
for
our
community
and
you
know
we'll
see
what
happens
and,
as
I
said,
you
know
the
warrant
to
so
to
to
hire
additional
deputies
to
go
after
these
individuals
at
once.
N
For
them,
remember
that
you
know
serving
a
warrant
is
probably
one
of
the
most
dangerous
things
that
police
do
because,
let's
face
it,
nobody
wants
to
go
to
jail
and
some
will
do
whatever
they
can
to
avoid
it
and
so
and
I
think
that's
it,
but
we're
ready
I
mean
we
are
and,
as
judge
cunnington
said,
we
will
follow
the
laws
that
have
been
put
in
front
of
us.
N
We
will
you
know
our
guys
are
committed
to
continuing
to
keep
our
community
safe
as
best
we
can,
and
we
also
hope
that
at
some
point,
when
things
maybe
seem
that
they're
not
working
that
we
can
change
them
but,
as
I
said,
I
I
hope
I'm
wrong.
When
it
comes
to
all
of
this
I
hope
I,
don't
have
to
say,
I
told
you
so,
but
you
know
I
guess
time
will
tell
I.
A
N
Know
one
of
the
things
that
always
everybody
asks
and
I
know
it
was
talked
about
before,
and
everybody
said,
oh
after
this.
After
this
happens,
everybody's
going
to
get
let
out
of
jail,
I,
don't
see
that
happening
based
on
the
the
type
of
individual
that
we
have
in
custody
is
and
I
know.
Mr
Hunter
asked
about.
N
You,
know
people
with
guns
and
shooting,
and
all
that
stuff
I
mean
in
talking
with
Mr
Rowe
I
mean
he
is
going
to
do
what
he
can
to
keep
every
individual
who
should
be
in
jail
in
jail,
which
is
what
we
do
now.
I
mean
people
forget
that
you
know
the
State's
Attorney's
Office
in
our
office
because
we
have
the
jail.
We
basically
talk
about
every
week
and
go
through
our
list
every
week
to
say
you
know.
Look
this
guy's
been
in
custody,
he's
a
he's.
N
A
non-violent
offender
he's
only
been
arrested
once
or
twice
you
know.
Does
he
really
need
to
be
in
jail?
I
mean
we
do
that
now.
So
you
know
which
I
think
is
you
know
the
way
it
should
be
I
think
every
County
should
do
that.
N
But
you
know
we
we
get
people
out
of
jail,
who
shouldn't
be
in
jail?
Actually
we
don't
get
them
out.
The
judge
lets
them
out
based
on
the
State's
Attorney's
request,
but
you.
E
P
N
F
O
E
O
Today
he
was
on
vacation,
oh
celebrating.
O
48
years
of
marriage,
I
believe
also
very
good
yeah
anniversary.
O
Thank
you
so
anyway,
August
was
another
busy
month
for
us,
130,
total
calls,
and
for
that
month,
I
believe,
if
you
added
September
in
we're
right
around
1030
calls
now
for
the
year,
which
is
right
on
par
with,
where
we
were
last
year
year
to
date,
see
autopsies
holding
steady
right
around
10.
Again,
we
have
eight
pending
cases.
Currently,
three
of
those
eight
are
overdoses,
three
motor
vehicle
accidents
and
a
suicide
and
a
natural
more
than
likely
of
those
eight
overdose
wise
we're
at
24.
O
Now,
like
I,
said
with
those
three
additional
pending
cases.
I
know.
Last
month
the
coroner
talked
about
the
five
overdoses
and
I
think
it
was
48
hours.
We
have
four
of
those
five
cases
back.
Those
were
all
fentanyl,
cocaine
and
methamphetamine
overdoses,
so
more
than
likely
all
linked
together
and
yeah.
So
that's
all
I
have
on
our
report.
Those.
A
Are
any
questions
very
good?
Anything
else.
O
The
only
other
thing
I
want
to
share
was
we
made
our
first
expenditure
out
of
the
Purdue
Pharma
opioid
settlement
money.
A
couple
weeks
ago
we
were
at
a
meeting
with
the
pledge
for
life
and
they
had
expressed
a
concern
that
they
were
out
of
money
for
the
Doterra
drug
pouches.
If
you
guys
have
seen
those
before
at
like
the
senior
fairs,
it's
like
the
size
of
a
Ziploc
baggie
and
you
can
dump
your
prescription
pills
into
that
bag.
There's
a
solution
in
there
and
then
it
will
safely
dispose
or
deactivate
the
medication.
O
So
they
had
run
out
of
grant
funding
for
that
and
they
only
had
a
small
Supply
left.
We
went
back.
We
looked
at
the
provisions
of
the
settlement
funds
and
certainly
safe
disposal
of
medication
was
one
of
the
core
strategies
of
that
money.
So
we
worked
with
Jim
Schreiner
at
pledge
for
Life
ordered
them.
Six
cases
which
is
about
1200
kits
and
those
1200
kits
have
the
capability
to
deactivate
54
000
pills.
So
obviously,
hopefully
that
makes
a
big
impact.
I
know
they're
very
popular.
O
Those
of
you
who
have
hosted
senior
fairs
before
pledge
for
life
is
always
there
giving
those
out.
They
have
a
number
of
other
community
events
that
they're
at
too,
where
they
hand
those
out
to
people
and
certainly
getting
rid
of
old,
expired
or
unused.
Medication
is
essential
as
we
fight
the
opioid
battle,
so
the
biannual
drug
take
back
day
is.
O
October
twenty
21st
I
believe
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
28th,
it's
the
fourth
yeah.
Fourth
Saturday
October
28th,
that's
at
the
mall!
So
again,
that's
another
free
opportunity
to
dispose
of
medications
for
anybody.
Almost
every
Police
Department
in
the
county
has
drug
disposal
box
as
well.
There's
also
one
at
Riverside,
Medical
Center
outside
the
emergency
room,
that's
available
24
hours
a
day.
So
if
you
or
anybody
you
know
as
old,
expired
or
unused
medications,
please
get
rid
of
them.
B
O
O
Or
so
it's
mostly
mostly
all
prevention
efforts
and
we
are
sharing
a
portion
of
the
funds
with
the
State's
Attorney's
office
and
I
believe
another
portion
of
the
money's
been
dedicated
to
the
Sheriff's
Department
I,
don't
know
the
exact
dollar
amounts.
I
know
it's
a
rolling
settlement
through,
like
2036
I,
believe
so.
It'll
have
a
long,
lasting
impact.
O
We're
just
trying
to
be
as
careful
with
the
money
as
possible
make
sure
that
we
can
get
the
most
bang
for
our
buck
and
make
the
biggest
impact.
But
it's
it's
a
lot
of
prevention.
I
know
the
Corner's
got
something
he'll
talk
about
with
you
guys
next
month
in
terms
of
another
method
that
we're
gonna
go
start
doing
in
the
springtime
that
I
know
he's
really
excited
about
so
I'll.
Let
him
share
that
news
with
you
guys:
okay,.
A
I
Just
you
know
sitting
here
listening
to
all
of
these
reports
and
and
all
of
the
comments
you
know
really
I
and
I'm
sure
everybody
here
just
really
want
to
thank
the
people
in
the
back
of
the
room.
This
has
been
an
ongoing
headache
and
a
dread
that
I
think
everyone
has
thought
about,
but
the
people
who
have
done
the
work-
and
you
have
told
us
today
about
plans
and
and
your
thoughts
and
it
is
so
much
appreciated.
Really
so
thank
you
to
everyone
back
there
who's
putting
in
the
time
and
effort.
