Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 12/15/2021 7:30am
A
A
B
A
C
Good
morning,
everyone
for
the
collection
report
of
harrison
harris
we've
sent
over
this
year
so
far
2
368
cases,
which
is
about
500
more
than
we
did
last
year.
C
So
that's
pretty
good
for
the
local
debt
recovery
program
report
in
harrison
harris
we
collected
42
526,
which
is
a
jump
from
october
and
september
and
august.
I
guess
all
the
way
through
to
so
july
august
and
september
were
less
than
november,
which
I
find
interesting
because
then
on.
My
next
report
is
the
state's
attorney
collection
report.
We
only
collected
1
1825.
C
When
this
email
went
around,
you
know
we
discussed
the
fact
that
now
that
their
the
driver's
licenses,
they
took
back
the
carrot
that
we
used
to
use.
They
had
to
pay
their
fines
before
they
could
get
the
releases
to
go
to
the
secretary
of
state
to
get
their
tickets
or
I
mean
get
their
driver's
license
back
and
that
was
wiped
away
this
last
year.
So
that's
why
we
have
the
large
drop-off,
the
state
secretary
of
state
had
to
clean
off
all
of
their
computers.
C
So
the
governor
made
the
ruling
that
you
didn't
need
to
have
to
pay
your
tickets
to
be
licensed
to
drive.
So
that's
why
we're
reducing
a
lot
of
the
money
here
and
then
my
regular
disbursement
report?
If
there's
any
questions
about
any
of
that,
that's
just
my
normal
report
of
what
we
do
for
the
month.
A
C
Yes,
so
I
didn't
know
the
whole
plan
about
what
was
going
on
with
all
the
cappy
machines
and
how
we
were
switching
over
to
a
different
company.
C
In
my
main
excuse
me,
my
main
cappier
in
the
main
office,
which
has
been
out
of
service
more
in
the
last
probably
six
months
than
it's
been
in
service,
was
not
a
part
of
the
package
that
everybody
approved
in
for
all
the
other
departments.
C
C
A
Is
this
for
arpa
funds
to
re
to
go
in
with
the
other
ones.
D
That
that
it's
eligible,
just
like
the
rest
of
them
are,
did
did
beyond.
After
our
conversation,
did
you
talk
with
steve
and
see
if
we
can
get
it
added
to
the
yes?
Okay,
so
he's
he's
not
here.
That's
why
I
turned
around
and
looked
yeah
if
he
was
here
to
let
you
all
know
that
he
could
add
it.
So
we'll
know
that
by
the
time
finance
comes
correct.
He
I
think
it
can
be.
I
don't
think
it's
a
problem,
but
we
need
to
get
that
in
writing
from
the
vendor.
A
E
A
F
Not
really,
I
do
have
comments
on
the
resolution,
though.
Okay.
A
G
Hunter,
mr
chairman,
mr
cleveland,
I
had
a
conversation
with
jim
recently.
How
many
prosecutors
are
you
down?
I
think
right
now
about
three.
Now
he
told
me
seven.
G
How
many
you
know
who's
who's,
going
on
to
be
judges
now,
you've
got.
F
Nancy
nancy
nicholson
is
now
a
judge.
Brenda
claudio
is
now
a
judge.
Actually
I
discount
them.
Well,
I
don't
discount
them
judges,
but
then
erica
parsons
now
has
gone
to
the
appellate
court
we
lost.
Last
year
we
lost
clyde
gugliamo
mark
laws
who
else.
A
And
everything:
okay,
any
questions
on
the
reports,
the
grand
jury
report
or
the
grand
jury
statistics
report.
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Motion
carries
okay,
mr
hunter.
Go
ahead
with
your
questions.
A
G
F
Right
well
going
back
in
time.
Yes,
that's
correct,
and,
and
we
I
know,
we've
had
a
problem.
We've
had
ads
out
for
for
new
attorneys
and
haven't
had
a
lot
of
response.
F
I
know
jim
has
reached
out
to
neighboring
states
attorney.
You
know
neighboring
counties
and
states
attorney's
offices
to
see
if,
if
that's
something
where
they've
had
a
lot
of
responses,
they're
largely
in
the
same
issues
that
that
we
have
had
with
that.
Also
with
you
know,
we
have
an
authorization
as
to
how
many
people
we
have.
The
main
reason
that
we're
doing
the
doing
a
going
up
to
19
is
that,
since
we
have
additional
funds,
we're
getting
an
arpa
process.
F
Well,
our
arpa
states
attorney
who's
going
to
be
instrumental
in
funneling
and
vetting
the
arp
funds.
So
that's
the
main.
We
just
need
to
have
that
additional
attorneys
authorized
so
that
we'd
be
able
to
fill
those
spots.
F
Well,
the
resolution
our
resolution
is
that
we're
currently
authorized
to
have
17
attorneys
in
order
to
have
our
full
complement
of
attorneys.
We
need
to
add
two
additional
attorneys.
The
purpose
of
the
resolution
that
we're
asking
that
you
pass
on
is
to
authorize
that
the
office
go
to
19,
full
state,
full-time
state's
attorneys.
D
The
by
statute,
we
have
to
set
the
number
of
states
attorneys
in
the
office
and
even
though
these
are
we'll
call
them
flex
attorneys
for
better
words
that
until
we're
done
with
the
arpa
process
and
they're
caught
up
here
in
a
couple
years,
that's
why
they're
adding
the
two
one
for
us,
one
for
them
and
and
if
I'm
working
on
something
where
it
may
not
be
a
full
timer
it'd,
be
like
a
per
hour
situation
for
us.
It'd
be
a
lot
cheaper,
but
I
think
it
still
has
to
be
covered
under.
H
I
think
there's
a
mis,
I
think,
there's
a
misprint
here
in
the
resolution
should.
A
H
F
A
I
Morning
with
that,
I
know
that
the
state
covers
a
majority
portion.
I
believe
it
is
other
salaries,
what
what
percentage
of
that
is
attributed
to
the
county
yeah,
and
what
is
the
cost
of
this
edition?
The
two
editions.
F
I
F
D
Just
go
ahead,
mr
wheeler,
it's
just
mentioned:
it's
coveted
money,
it's
our
money,
so
it's
zero
cost
to
the
local
taxpayers,
the
even
the
the
benefits
that
we
can't
do.
Pension!
That's
the
one
thing
we
can't
do
is
pension.
That's
the
only
thing
that
it
would
cost.
So
it's
not
zero.
I
apologize
it's
our
pension
match
and
that's
it.
D
I
Another
thing
is:
it's
not
zero,
it's
just
it's
attributed
to
coming
out
of
a
fund,
but
it's
going
to
be
a
cost
to
the
fund.
So
that
way,
if
and
I'm
looking
down
the
road,
so
we
need
to
maintain
it
at
19
once
opera
is
gone
whatever
that
cost
is
associated,
it
should
be
in
your
opera
funds
as
to
what
that's
going.
What
that
number
looks
like
because
sometimes
we're
underpaid-
and
maybe
that's
why
we're
not
getting.
E
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Miss
coughlin
has
there
been
well,
I
probably
know
the
answer
already,
because
I
usually
when
jim
comes
here.
He
talks
about
the
increase
in
in
terms
of
domestic
violence
cases,
and
that
has
an
impact
in
terms
of
what
your
needs
are
as
well
too.
I
understand
right.
F
Well,
I
mean
one
of
the
problems
that
we
have
is
it's
twofold:
we've
had
an
increase
in
domestic
violence
cases
and
the
other
problem
that
we're
facing
right
now
is
that,
as
the
due
to
due
to
covid,
there
was
a
there
was
a
stay
on
speedy
trials,
so
that
stay
has
been
lifted.
F
So
now
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
are
demanding
speedy
trials.
We
have
a
duty
to
get
those
done
within
120
days,
if
they're,
if
they're
in
custody,
so
that
between
between
that
and
the
backlog
due
to
increased
domestic
violence
cases.
Those
are
two
of
the
main
reasons
that
that
we
needed
additional
attorneys.
I
Is
what
I'm
looking
for
is
that
that
calls,
because
what
I'm
looking
at
is,
are
we
at
the
I
mean,
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
go
out
and
I'm
sure
individuals
are
going
to
maybe
bike
debate
they
haven't
so
far
and
when
I
look
at
what
we're
allocating
in
in
the
opera
funds
for
this
there's
a
dollar
amount,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
look
at
this,
perhaps
while
the
two
years
may
cover
us,
perhaps
when
we
look
at
it,
we
can
kind
of
think
down
the
road
to
budget
a
number
in
what
I'm
looking
for.
I
A
J
It's
the
same
number
that
you
approved
at
the
meeting.
You
approve
those
two
positions
and
you
approve
the
salaries.
It
was
seventy
thousand
dollars
or
no
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
for
the
prosecutor,
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
the
db
clerk,
seventy
thousand
dollars
for
the
arpa
council-
that's
it!
Those
are
two
year
gigs.
Basically,
so,
unless
through
attrition
that
person
moves
into
our
general
fund
and
becomes
a
member
of
our
staff-
that's
not
arpa-funded!
J
Then
those
positions
are
eliminated
when
the
arpa
funds
run
out.
This
is
not
to
expand
our
office
into
19
prosecutors.
I
think
we're
at
12
right
now
to
begin
with,
but
we're
we're
kept
at
17.
and
I've
got
a
and
we
always
had
one
extra
in
there
right,
a
flex
position.
So
if
someone
was
leaving,
you
could
hire
someone
to
kind
of
shadow
them
for
a
couple
weeks
without
running
a
file
of
the
ordinance.
So.
I
J
J
Number
we've
already
got
a
commitment
from
someone
she
accepted
it
yesterday
for
the
dv
position.
We,
I
have
had
a
posting
out
for
clerk
for
a
while.
Now
we're
not
getting
any
resumes,
and
the
arpa
position
is
what
mr
wheeler
chairman
wheeler
was
talking
about
we're
trying
to
work
something
out
with
an
attorney.
J
It
may
not
be
an
employee
basis
because
who
wants
to
shut
down
a
private
practice
to
come
for
a
job
that
may
only
be
two
years
so
we're
trying
to
work
something
out
there
where
it
would
still
be
within
that
approved
range.
But
it
may
not
be
an
employee.
It
could
be
a
contract
basis
which
ultimately
saves
the
county
even
more
money,
because
now
you're
not
paying
the
pension
and
all
the
other
benefits
that
go
with
it.
H
If
these
positions
are
only
supposed
to
last
as
long
as
the
arpa
funds
do,
should
that
be
included
in
this
resolution
that
those
positions
would
be
terminated
and
we'd
go
back
to
17
once
those
funds
run
out.
F
No,
there
I
mean,
there's
the
there's,
really,
no
purpose
in
doing
that.
If
we
is
any
of
the
any
of
the
positions
that
we're
going
to
have
are
going
to
have
to
be
approved
by
this
board,
so
that
you'll
still
have
control
as
to.
F
If
you
don't
think
there
should
be,
you
know
if
you
think
there
should
be
17
prosecutors,
then
you
only
fund
17
prosecutors,
but
this
just
give
rather
than
having
to
come
back
and
forth
to
the
board
and
say:
oh,
you
know
authorizes
two
more
because
we
have
this
current
need
and
then
we
go
back
to
it.
It
leaves
that
on
the
book.
So
that's
that's
a
maximum
amount
of
prosecutors
that
we
can
have,
and
it
just
keeps
keeps
the
books
easier.
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
The
second
paragraph
of
the
resolution
does
indicate
that
the
number
of
assistants
is
subject
to.
E
Set
by
the
county
board,
so
our
authority
in
regard
to
the
state's
attorney's
office
is
based
on
our
control
of
his
budget.
I
The
reason
I'm
saying
this
is,
I
think
we
need
to
look
down
the
road,
because
I'm
looking
at
that
cost
and
I'm
looking
at
down
the
road
and
also
know
that
they've
been
operating.
I
mean
like
on
steroids
on
the
limited
staff
they
have
so
at
some
point.
If
we're
going
to
cover
it,
forget
it
cover
for
two
years,
which
is
a
blessing
that
we
look
to
kind
of
sustain
it
versus
decrease
it.
I
Because
there's
an
I
mean
they
have
aggressive
approach
to
basically
safeguarding
this
community,
and
it
is
a
safeguard
that
we
need
to
continue
to
look
at
and
not
really
decrease
them.
They
shouldn't
have
to
play.
You
know
I
mean
overwork
a
already
overworked
force
in
the
future.
So
now
we've
done
this,
look
at
the
future
to
see
and
finance
whatever
down
the
road,
be
more
proactive
to
see
if
we
can
sustain
it
is
what
I'm
saying
well.
F
A
A
L
Report
the
comment
is,
I
forgot
it.
I
reviewed
it
earlier
this
week.
It
was
at
home
and
out
before
me
right
now.
So
I
appreciate
that
speaks
for
herself.
L
Basically,
I
know
some
of
the
numbers
are
going
down
traffic's
still
going
up
like
we
talked
about,
or
I
talked
about
last
month,
the
traffic
you
pretty
much
cut
that
by
a
quarter
as
to
the
actual
number
of
clients
we
have,
which
is
still
astronomical,
but
hopefully,
by
early
next
year
I
will
have
at
least
some
type
of
a
temporary
stop
gap
to
help
assist
traffic.
L
I'm
working
on
looking
into
hiring
somebody
for
that
position,
depending
on
how
you
know
all
the
logistics
work
out,
but
other
than
that
I've
got
nothing
to
say,
questions.
A
E
L
That's
a
simple:
that's
a
law
enforcement
issue
which
people
should
not
be
breaking
the
law,
I'm
100
in
favor
of
people
not
breaking
the
law.
So
I
agree
with
that.
Just
a
dovetail
on
that
which
really
isn't
what
you're
talking
about,
but
I
do
believe
that
oftentimes,
individual
people
get
multiple
tickets.
So
that's
another
thing,
that's
excuse
the
numbers.
You
know
duis
often
carry
four
other
companion
tickets,
but
you
know
I
agree
with
you
completely
on
that.
I
I'm
looking
at
your
traffic
pending,
that's
like
3875
and
you
close
13
or
six
of
those
or
around
that
number.
So
that
means
on
the
opposite
side
of
that
there's
a
state
attorney.
They
gotta
deal
with
3878
cases.
In
addition
to
that
person
doing
is,
there's
125
families
they
got
to
deal
with.
I
I
guess
they
closed
43
of
them
and
then
all
these
other
cases
and
what
I'm
saying
is
in
order
to
basically
back
kind
of
reduce
some
of
the
backlog,
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
what
is
feasible
in
order
to
make
our
justice
system
flow,
where
it's
not
overworked
with
3678
cases
on
both
sides.
L
Agreed,
I
know
that
been
short
on,
not
only
my
office
but
the
state's
attorney's
office.
I
can't
speak
for
the
state
series
office,
but
you
know
they
have
one
person
and
200..
We
have
one
courtroom.
200.
We
have
one
person
incorporating
200
logistically.
Logistically.
How
do
you
get
the
work
done?
I
mean
yes,
it's
a
real
problem
and
that's
where
you
know.
Hopefully
I
can
get
somebody
down
there
to
help
out
my
side
and
and
again
I
don't
speak
for
mr
rose
office,
but
I'm
sure
he'd
want
the
same
thing.
Also.
H
Mr
collins
just
curious,
mr
panderwick
ballpark:
do
you
have
any
idea
how
many
different
traffic
violations
there
are
on
the
books?
How
many
different
traffic
laws
a
thousand
thousand.
H
Probably
thousands,
probably
thousands,
I
agree
with
you,
I
I
don't
I
don't
know
exactly,
and
am
I
correct,
that
the
the
lowest
fine
for
a
moving
violation
is
165
dollars.
L
H
The
first
seatbelt
ticket
I
got
was
fifty
dollars,
I
believe,
and
now.
H
165
dollars-
and
that's
only
been
in
the
last
16
years,
15
years
or
so
so
to
mr
lear's
point
there
that
if,
if
we
can
write
more
tickets
and
reduce
the
crime,
if
we
already
have
thousands
of
moving
violations
and
the
lowest
fine
is
already
165
dollars.
Theoretically,
how
many
different
laws
should
we
have
and
how
expensive
should
the
tickets
be
to
to
lower
the
crime
rate
of
driving.
L
H
With
moving
violations,
though,
if
the
only
fine
is
financial
is
monetary,
then
doesn't
the
punishment
really
only
apply
to
people
that
can't
afford
it.
L
H
H
So
if
you
were
to
get
a
speeding
ticket
and
a
seat
belt
ticket-
and
you
were
a
single
mother-
trying
to
get
your
kids
to
school
in
the
morning
like
what
does
that
really
do
for
our
society
when
we
badger
people
that
can't
afford
tickets
with
financial
burden
rather
than
you
know,
trying
to
encourage
safe
driving
through
education
and
and
personal
accountability,
I
like
it
what
what's
the
end
game
of
this?
How
many
tickets
and
how
high
do
the
fines
have
to
be
before
we
actually
reduce
traffic
violence.
L
I
On
the
pauses
on
the
statement
made
and
just
basically
looking
at
no
matter
what
the
way
people
can
now
get
out
of
tickets
is
just
don't
follow
the
rules
that
was
then
we
wouldn't
have.
The
problem
agreed.
H
I
took
two
years
of
law
enforcement
in
high
school
and
one
of
the
first
things
that
our
teacher
taught
us
was
that
any
officer
can
pull
over
any
subject
within
two
blocks,
because
there
are
so
many
traffic
laws
on
the
books.
So
to
say
that
we
can
just
avoid
these
tickets
by
obeying
the
law.
I
would
challenge
any
person
in
this
entire
county
to
drive
one
mile
without
breaking
a
law.
A
A
M
It's
just
on
the
report
itself.
As
you
can
see,
we
had
2800
successful
contacts
last
month,
27
currently
on
gps,
which
ate
our
juveniles.
We
screened
speaking
of
juveniles.
We
screened
20
miners
for
detention
to
detain
seven.
We
currently
have
six
in
custody
upper
river
valley,
and
next
month,
I'll
have
a
year
in
total
for
obviously
2021.
So
but
that's
all
I
have
on
the.
A
M
Just
real
quick,
like
a
monthly
pre-trial
update
and
again,
there's
really
not
much
movement
on
the
state's
end.
It's
movement
at
the
pace.
I
thought
it
would
move
which
puts
more
on
us
longer
right
now.
We
currently
office
have
five
of
the
28
positions
vacant,
which
means
we
have
people
doing
pre-trial,
slash,
probation,
work
and
they're
doing
a
great
job,
keeping
everything
going,
monitoring
everybody,
but
obviously
it's
tough
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
like
this.
M
For
for
a
while
and
the
state
level,
you
know
the
state
they're
supposed
to
hire
over
300
something
people
for
pre-trial
remote
pre-trial
supervision
and
they
haven't
hired
anybody.
Yet
so
it's
going
to
move
slow,
but
I'll
keep
you
posted
when
you
factor
in
five
vacancies
with
we've
been
hit
with
cobit,
pretty
good
the
last
couple
months,
with
some
positive
tests
and
quarantined.
M
M
Going
well
it's
buildings.
Finally,
you
know
we
we've
had
about
well
124
on
that
have
been
put
on
since
we
started
in
june.
I
think
the
hours
around
16
to
18
000
hours
been
ordered.
What
we're
doing
now
is
with
covid
and
the
winner.
It's
kind
of
obviously
slows
down
the
need
for
sites
around
the
county,
but
after
the
first
of
the
year,
we're
going
to
really
start
now,
go
the
other
side
to
the
sites
and
start
recruiting
sites
getting
it
organized
with
different
places.
M
Some
come
springtime
when
the
need
for
public
service
work
increases,
we'll
be
we'll,
be
ready,
we'll
have
the
sites,
you
know
ready
and
hopefully,
hopefully,
covid
will
ease
up
a
little
bit
by
then,
and
some
of
these
sites
can
open
back
up.
I
Yes,
one's
a
suggestion,
you
might
have
already
done
it,
but
I'm
thinking
perhaps
you
need
to
go
after
covet
as
well.
Some
of
this
opera
founding,
especially
with
a
lot
of
these
homoresidum
things,
that
these
individuals
look
like
they
can
break
and
take
off.
But
my
other
question
is:
there's
a
contrast
comparison.
I
don't
think
that
individuals
know
the
actual
dollar
amount,
but
that
it
costs
more.
I
When
I
look
at
it
to
house
a
juvenile
than
it
does
an
adult
in
that
those
juveniles
have
to
still
we're
still
required
by
law,
to
educate
them,
etc,
cetera,
so
not
now,
but
next,
maybe
next
time
january
february,
could
you
do
what
they
call
a
just
a
cost
contrast
comparison
on
the
cost
of
what
it
takes
to
house
the
juvenile
versus
it
would
be
to
deal
with
an
adult.
D
Mr
wheeler,
it's
adults
90
a
day.
If,
like
that's
the
rate
we
used,
if
we
have
to
pay
their
medical,
it
goes
substantially
up
on
the
local
level
and
it's
250
per
detention
day
for
juveniles.
A
M
Nothing
drug
court,
graduation,
it's
an
odd
time.
It's
december
30th!
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
out
there,
maybe
out
of
town
at
10,
30,
there's
only
two
graduates
and
I
can
get
that
information
to
kelly
okay
to
get
out
to
everybody,
but
I
don't
see
you
before
have
a
merry
christmas.
Thank.
A
N
A
couple
of
brief
comments
on
the
monthly
report
and
then,
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
can
certainly
answer
them
through
and
we
kind
of
operate
both
on
a
calendar
year
in
a
fiscal
year,
just
budget-wise
number
wise.
So
some
of
these
numbers
we
try
to
keep
in
the
fiscal
year,
so
we
can
track
costs.
N
But,
as
you
can
see,
our
tran
our
transports
for
medical,
the
courthouse
juveniles
which
we
just
talked
about
is
have
been
increasing.
N
Our
transports
to
chicago
for
both
the
marshals
and
ice
have
gone
down
slightly
mainly
because
they
utilize
what
we
call
the
vct
video
to
the
court
in
chicago,
whether
it's
for
ice
or
the
marshals,
so
those
have
gone
down
which,
which
has
been
a
plus
a
couple
things,
and
I'm
sure
that
there
may
be
some
questions
later
regarding
what's
going
on
with
ice.
N
In
2019,
we
generated
four
million
six
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
by
housing
ice.
N
We
generated
seven
million
two
hundred
ninety
five
from
the
us
marshals
for
a
total
of
eleven
million
nine
hundred
and
seventy
six
compare
that
to
2021
where
this
year,
through
the
fiscal
year,
we
generated
1.1
million,
approximately
it's
1.108
from
ice
and
6.7
million
from
the
u.s
marshals
for
a
total
of
7.9
million.
N
N
I
know
that
this
committee,
the
board,
has
basically
counted
on
zero
from
ice.
So
please
keep
that
in
mind
a
couple
things
in
addition
to
that,
on
the
sworn
side
in
2020,
our
fatal
accidents
were
13
or
in
2021
they're
15,
so
they've
gone
up
a
little
bit
and
then
homicides
countywide
in
2020
there
were
nine
and
in
2021
there
were
17,
so
they
basically
doubled,
which
I
think
is
kind
of
the
trend
nationwide,
with
everything
going
on
so.
A
N
So
and
what
the
chairman's
asking
is
about
our
illinois
department
of
corrections,
issues
with
sentenced
inmates,
as
most
of
you
probably
know
way
back
in
march
of
2020,
I
think
it
was
march
26
to
be
exact.
The
governor
issued
an
executive
order
that
the
only
department
of
corrections
was
no
longer
accepting
sentenced
inmates,
as
they're
required
to
do
by
statute
because
of
the
pandemic.
N
N
That
was
through
august
16th
of
2021,
which
is
when
they
wanted
that
figure
they
received
it
on
august
13th.
For
me,
there
has
not
been.
There
has
been
minimal
communication
between
the
state
of
illinois.
N
We
have
somewhat
pushed
the
issue
and
I
guess,
by
pushing
the
issue
I
mean
we
continue
to
send
emails
asking
for
an
update.
They
were
auditing
everybody's
invoice,
which
is
fine.
N
I
mean
they
should,
and
so
they
came
back
and
now
have
said
well
based
on
what
we
got
from
everybody,
the
rate's
going
to
be
35
a
day,
so
they
have
cut
it
in
half
which,
ironically,
when
these
negotiations
first
started,
35
was
the
number
they
came
up
with
first,
so
it's,
it
seems
all
too
convenient
that
they've
now
gone
back
to
say,
oh
by
the
way,
it's
only
going
to
be
35
a
day,
so
we're
still
negotiating.
N
We
are
still
trying
to
get
an
answer
as
to
whether
anything
is
going
to
be
covered
after
august
16th
of
2021,
because
we
are
still
being
delayed
from
the
state
taking
these
sentenced
inmates,
as
they're
required
to
do
now
understand
that
102
county
jails
in
the
state
of
illinois
couldn't
delay
with
the
police
officers
of
taking
their
prisoners,
but
the
state
of
illinois
is
not
taking
their
sentenced
inmates
as
they're
required
to
do
by
statute.
So
it's
a
little
bit
frustrating
on
our
end.
N
The
the
men
and
women
that
work
at
the
illinois
department
of
corrections
are
great
people.
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
them,
but
their
management
and
their
administration,
who
I
know,
are
getting
their
marching.
Orders
from
somebody
else
in
springfield
is
putting
the
screws
to
every
county
in
the
state
of
illinois.
A
N
D
Just
just
a
question:
is
this:
the
association?
That's
that's
on
your
behalf,
or
is
it
all
the
sheriffs
themselves.
D
A
G
Hunter
is
it
appropriate
to
pose
a
question
to
the
sheriff
regarding
the
numbers
that
he
articulated
regarding
the
revenue
generated?
Okay,
I
happened
to
go
to
a
professional
for
services
last
week
and
that
person
was
saying
that
they
had
provided
services
to
the
inmates.
G
G
What
kind
of
hit
is
the
community
receiving
in
terms
of
you
know
you
got
to
buy,
you
know
additional
food
and
all
that
stuff
and
you
and
and
and
the
groceries
or
wherever
you
you
buy
your
food
from
won't,
be
able
to
sell
you
the
the
those
kind
of
that
food
and
so
forth.
You
know
the
hospitals
and
so
forth.
G
What
kind
of
hit
is
the
private
sector
going
to
experience,
but
do
you
know
that?
Yet
because.
N
Well,
I
think
I
think,
that's
probably
something
the
hospitals
have
a
better
chance
of
answering
than
I
do,
because
I
know
that
the
rates
that
we
pay
and
that
the
federal
government
pays
are
the
medicaid
medicare
rate.
So
I
I
don't
know
that
we
contract
with
both
hot.
We
have
contracts
in
certain
things
with
both
hospitals,
which
we
have
a
great
relationship
with.
G
That's
just
the
hospitals,
but
it's
hospital
private
sectors
you
know,
is
going
to
receive
a
hit
as
well
too.
Possibly!
No!
No!
No!
You
know
this.
Where
I
want
is
a
private
sector
sure,
so
they
won't
receive
those.
They
won't
administer
services
to
those.
E
N
One
one
additional
thing,
mr
chairman,
if
I
may,
regarding
doc,
we
currently
have
16
males
and
two
females
waiting
to
be
transported
to
the
illinois
department
of
corrections.
Our
last
transport
was,
I
believe,
on
november
21st,
so
it's
almost
a
month.
N
N
H
Collins
earlier
this
year
sheriff
you
talked
about
an
inmate
that
was
supposed
to
go
to
department
of
corrections
to
service
sentence
and
ended
up
staying
his
entire
sentence
in
our
county
jail,
and
you
pointed
out
that
we
were
not
able
to
release
him
on
his
release
date
because
he
was
not
our
inmate
has
that
violated
his
civil
rights?
Exactly
has
that
happened
to
more
than
just
the
one
well,
and
do
you
have
a
number
on
how
many
people
that's
happened
to
so
since
that
issue.
N
I
was
the
only
sheriff
in
the
state
of
illinois
who
wrote
the
owner
department
of
corrections,
a
letter
basically
saying,
because
what
they
what
they
wanted
to
do
then,
after
after
we
brought
that
issue
forward,
then
they
would
wait
till
that
out
date.
So
the
inmate
has
an
out
date.
Then
they
would
call
us
and
say,
oh
by
the
way,
bring
joe
smith,
and
so
I
wrote
a
letter
to
director
jeffries
and
the
administration
at
the
illinois
department
of
corrections
and
said
we
are
no
longer.
N
N
N
H
A
state
prison,
though,
are
the
accommodations.
I
guess
a
little
more
sympathetic
to
the
prisoner.
Do
they
get
more
daytime?
Do
they
get
more
free
time,
more
access
to
commissary,
more
access
to
their
family.
N
I
would
say
it
depends
on
who
you
ask.
I
mean
we
have
a
number
of
people
who,
because
they're
from
here
they
just
they
would
just
as
soon
stay
here,
but
obviously
there's
some
outdoor
rec
options,
there's
some
other
things
that
they
have
yeah.
They
may
have
some
more
amenities
at
department
of
corrections.
I've.
N
I
Thank
you.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
probably
answer
the
question
or
you
might
have
the
answer
now
that
they
have
iced
ice.
N
N
I
I
Now
of
maybe
the
share,
I
mean
not
the
sheriff.
Excuse
me,
but
the
the
u.s,
I
don't
call
them
share.
What's
their
name
again,
there's
borosia,
okay,
that
brings
in
inmates
here
or
whatever
will
they
be
able
to
then
try
to
regulate
even
those
or
is
there
something
that
we
can?
Is
there
some
language
somewhere
that
can
prevent
that
from
happening
and
then
even
down
the
road
they
say?
Okay,
you
can't
take
chicago,
I
mean.
Where
does
this
stop.
N
N
You
know
it
yeah
you're
right,
that's
a
great
question:
where
does
it
end?
We
don't
know
we.
We
do
know
that
you
know
there's
always
the
option
at
some
point
that
things
can
change,
whether
that's
next
november,
whether
that's
in
2024,
we
don't
know-
I
mean
so.
Our
our
hands
are
somewhat
tied
with
some
some
national
and
state
politics.
A
N
Just
a
couple
updates,
we
finally
got
our
van.
N
Fabricated,
if
you
will
to
meet
the
requirements
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
transport
animals
from
a
financial
standpoint,
we
we
did
bring
in
more
money
than
we
spent,
which
is
always
a
positive.
We
are
in
the
process
right
now
of
looking
at
a
new
truck
as
we
move
forward.
But
again,
these
are.
These
won't
be
arbor
funds,
they
won't
be
general
fund.
N
These
will
be
if
tip
money
or
whatever
we
can
do,
but
obviously
we'll
come
back
for
approval
and
make
sure
that
the
board
is
very
aware
of
why
we
need
it
and
I'm
sure
carrie
will
bring
that
to
community
services
is
much
more
than
here,
but
and
right
now
our
kennel
numbers
are
doing.
Okay,.
N
A
If
the
pickup
truck,
could
you
get
that
through
the
state
purchasing?
Yes,
yep,
yeah?
Okay,
anything
any
questions
on
animal
control?
A
Okay,
I'd,
take
a
motion
to
entertain
or
entertain
a
motion
to
open
the
bid
for
the
correctional
facilities
food
service.
Mr
ekoff,
mr
long.
N
I
received
one
okay,
which
was
somewhat
surprising.
We
had,
I
believe,
five
inquiries
emails.
We
provided
information,
they
were
due
last
night
at
4
30
and
the
only
one
we
received
was
the
one
we
have
so.
N
N
A
Take
a
motion
to
approve
mr
collins.
Second
by
mr
snipes:
it's
spending
money,
roll
call
vote.
B
B
E
N
K
N
N
A
Mr
ecko
first
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Currently,
what's
the
price
per
day.
N
I
knew
you
were
going
to
ask
as
soon
as
I
looked
at
the
price,
I'm
like
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
price
is
right
now,
but
I
will
email
kelly
and
have
her
send
that
out
to
the
to
send
it
to
the
entire
board
again,
but
I
will
get
that
for
you.
I
knew
as
soon
as
I
saw
the
price
I'm
like.
I
can't
remember
what
we're
paying
now
so
sounds
like
three
guys
will
have
the
same
question.
N
Anything
else
for
us
yeah
a
couple
things
as,
as
I
think
tom
mentioned,
about
dealing
with
covid.
We
too
are
dealing
with
covid.
Both
staff
and
inmate,
wise
inmate
numbers
are
significantly
low.
Our
staff,
however,
have
you
know:
we've
had
some
issues
with
some
significant,
significant
overtime
with
covid.
You
know
they're
things
we
work
through
and
and
it's
you
know,
we've
gone
through
it
initially
when
we
first
got
it
in
october
2020
we
dealt
with
it
during
the
first
variant.
N
We
do
we
do
offer
a
vaccine
visitors.
Yes,
we
do,
but
so
yeah.
So
when
an
inmate
comes
in,
we
make
the
vaccine
available,
they
choose
to
take
it.
We
don't
require
them
to
take
it,
obviously
so
yeah,
but
it
is
available
for
them.
N
Secondly,
I
know
the
board
meeting
was
yesterday.
Thank
you
for
approving
the
great
key
forensic
cell
phone
system
in
our
body
scanner.
N
Our
investigations
division
appreciates
it
as
well
as
our
correctional
officers,
so
that'll
be
a
plus
for
us
and
just
a
an
update-
and
I
know
I've,
I'm
sometimes
critical-
of
house
bill
3653.
N
N
Our
staff
has
adapted
to
them
very
well.
They
are
a
benefit
for
us.
They
are
a
benefit
for
the
community
and,
as
I've
told
this
this
committee
a
number
of
times,
they
will
save
us
from
a
liability
standpoint,
99.9
percent
of
the
time,
and
so
thank
you
for
those
two,
because
that
was
part
of
we
we
got
in
early
on
the
36-53.
N
G
Hunter,
thank
you,
mr
chairman
sheriff.
I
don't
know
if
I'd
discuss
this
with
you
before
regarding
doing
some
kind
of
training
or
in
service
for
your
correctional
officers,
they
interface
with
local
police
departments
etc,
and
they
and
they
know
different
rules,
regulations,
policies
and
procedures
and
so
forth.
G
Have
you
ever
thought
about
doing
some
kind
of
in-service
training
for
those
individuals
that
may
be
germane
to
some
of
the
testing
for
the
local
departments
and
your
particular
department
may
be
a
training
ground
for
local
departments
to
segue,
from
correctional
to
kinky,
city,
bourbon,
a
moments
etc.
You're.
N
However,
we
also
understand
that
some
people
do
have
goals
to
be
the
police
and,
as
far
as
specific
in-service
training,
no,
but
we
certainly
don't
discourage
anyone
from
looking
at
testing
with
other
agencies,
police
agencies
to
be
the
police
and
and
you're
absolutely
right.
The
advantage
that
we
have
is
a
couple
things
and
even
for
the
outside
agencies,
because
we
do
provide
information
to
those
outside
agencies.
N
G
N
N
I
want
to
use
this
as
a
stepping
stone
to
be
the
police
and
we're
good
with
that,
because
if
you
have
that
mindset
that
you
want
to
stay
in
law
enforcement,
we
feel
like
you're
going
to
do
a
pretty
good
job
as
a
correctional
officer.
So
you
know
we're
able
to
just
from
our
standpoint
in
in
one
of
the
things
that
people
don't
know
in
in
during
our
during
an
investigation
process.
Let's
say:
there's
somebody
that
needs
to
be
identified
back
in
the
day.
N
They
would
send
out
an
internal
email
to
all
police
saying.
Can
anybody
identify
this
person
and
so
one
day
I
called
and
said
you
know
what
why
don't
we
send
all
of
these
to
our
corrections
staff
because
they
see
these
guys
more
so
than
the
police
see
them,
and
we
have
identified
so
many
people
through
our
corrections,
staff
of
of
people
who
they
knew
who
were
in
the
jail
and
I've
said
before
you
know.
N
If,
if
you
can
make
it
as
a
correction
officer
inside
the
jail,
you
can
make
it
as
a
police
officer
on
the
street,
you
can
make
that
transition
pretty
easily.
So
yeah
I
mean
that's
a
that's
a
natural
progression.
For
some
and
and
you
know
again,
we
we
want
people
in
law
enforcement
to
to
stay
in
law
enforcement.
N
H
This
is
actually
back
to
the
coronavirus
and
the
way
it's
affected,
your
staff
and
over
time.
I
just
read
yesterday
that
the
cdc
announced
that
this
new
omicron
variant,
75
of
the
people
that
have
tested
positive
for
that
in
the
united
states
so
far
are
fully
vaccinated
and
a
third
of
those
have
had
their
boosters
as
well.
And
then
this
morning
I
I
just
read
that
portugal,
who
is
nearly
100
vaccinated,
announced
that
the
vaccine
does
nothing
to
prevent
you
contracting
the
virus.
H
But
it
does
is
supposed
to
prevent
a
serious
illness
which
pharmaceutical
companies
have
been
saying
for
six
months
now
that
every
new
variant
would
require
an
updated
booster,
which
takes
approximately
six
months
and
at
six
months
we've
got
a
new
variant,
so
you're
essentially
getting
a
booster
for
the
previous
shot.
But
as
a
heads
up
to
yourself,
I
would
anticipate
I'm
there
saying
that
this
provides
no
defense
to
so
maybe
anticipate
on
your
staff
having
more
overtime
and
more
people
and
from
what
I
understand,
everybody.
H
N
No
question
and
we
you
know
we
were
one
of
the
last
jails
in
the
state
of
illinois
who
ended
up
with
a
case
inside
our
jail,
so
that
was
prior
to
any
vaccine.
So
you
know
I'm
pretty
confident
as
to
how
we're
handling
it.
You
know
we're
going
to
get
it
it's
I
was
vaccinated
and
I
got
it
so
it
you.
I
N
H
N
H
K
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
First
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
public
safety,
because
the
holidays
are
coming
up
and
I
know
they're
going
to
be
away
from
their
families.
K
N
A
O
I
think
they
speaker
at
the
end
of
the
year,
our
or
one
should
have
you
at
the
next
being
there
probably
a
full
detail
of
exactly
we're.
Eight
eight
still
got
eight
pending
right
now,
so
I'm
not
going
to
give
a
total
other,
and
the
fact
is,
our
calls
have
gone
up
at
you
can
see
at
14
53.
Last
year
we
were
at
1389,
so
our
homicides
have
doubled.
O
Our
suicides
were
up
last
year,
but
we've
already
had
five
suicides
already
in
the
month
of
december.
So
that's
a
lot
and
that's
just
the
beginning
of
the
month,
other
than
that
some
of
our
statistics
are
different.
What
the
sheriff
has
different,
because
some
of
the
people
come
from
will
county
iroquois
county
and
die
here
in
kanke
county,
so
it
becomes
our
our
case
so
other
than
that.
The
autopsies
are
right
about
a
9.2
9.3
per
month.
So
that's
up
a
little
bit
so
other
than
that
I'll.
A
O
I'm
gonna
kind
of
take
that
off.
I
didn't
get
the
final
numbers
that
I
needed
for
today.
If
I
can
possibly
move
that
on
to
finance.
If
what
it
is
is
our
hv
system
and
our
air
filtering
system
is
is
is
basically
down
right
now
we
we
put
in
a
a
negative
pressure,
as
you
got
through
the
kovic
funds
there,
and
basically
that
shows
us
that
positive
right
now,
right
straight
at
zero,
zero
point
on
a
positive.
O
We
need
to
be
negative
because
we
don't
know
what's
coming
into
our
morgue
anymore,
so
it's
it's
due
to
the
air
handling
unit,
since
it
was
installed
in
2005
that
has
to
be
cleaned
every
every
month
and
basically
it's
not
working
well
right.
Now,
it's
kind
of
an
emergency
that,
if
that
goes
down,
we
start
traveling,
so
we're
watching
that
I've
had
several
people
out
there
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
they
say
it's
down
to
the
nitty-gritty
right
now.
It
sure.
A
D
If
the
the
nature
of
the
emergency
is
such
that
it
doesn't
even
need
to
go
to
finance
at
that
point,
because
it
involves
health
life
safety,
so
we
would
confer
with
the
state's
attorney
at
that
point
once
we
have
a
price
in
the
impact.
That's
all
we
want
and
then
we'd
still
bring
it
to
finance,
but
we
it's
almost
like
when
we
lost
that
unit
on
top
of
the
health
department
right
years
ago.
O
Let's
take
one
person
said:
I'm
looking
straight
at
him,
mr
fairfield,
over
there
ray
helped
us
quite
a
bit
with
a
last
case.
We
had
somebody
that
didn't
have
families
and
we
were
able
to.
Instead
of
paying
for
it,
he
became
the
executor
of
the
will
there,
and
I
appreciate
you
much
all
the
the
work
you
did
for
us
to
help
us,
and
I
I
won't
forget
that.
