A
Any
public
comment
saying
none
we'll
move
on
I'd
like
to
get
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
and
all
the
reports
from
the
circuit
clerk's
office
state's
attorney
public
defender,
probation
sheriff
in
the
coroner's
office,
mr
fairfield
second,
by
mr
long
we'll
take
that
vote
at
the
end.
After
all,
the
reports
are
given.
E
Good
morning,
everybody,
as
you
can
see,
with
the
reports
this
month,
we
were
really
busy.
We,
the
one
report,
the
disbursement
report,
we
processed
over
a
half
a
million
dollars
this
month.
So
I
haven't
seen
that
number
in
many
many
many
months.
So
that's
a
really
good
thing.
E
The
the
harrison
harris
recovery
report
that
I
have,
and
in
conjunction
with
the
illinois,
local
debt
recovery
program-
if
you
see
this
month
march
of
2021,
is
the
largest
amount
of
money
we've
collected
in
one
month
ever
to
date,
the
the
largest
month
that
we
had
was
may
of
2015,
where
we
collected
282
000,
and
that
was
when
we
started
the
local
debt
recovery
program
with
the
illinois
state
comptroller.
E
So
that's
been
a
really.
It's
been
a
really
good
month
for
us,
we've
collected
10
million
dollars
since
2011.
So
that's
a
good
thing
and
then
on
the
state's
attorney's
collection
report,
they
had
a
huge
month
as
well
with
sixty
three
thousand
six
hundred
twenty
four
dollars
and
twelve
cents.
E
E
D
D
It's
a
lot
all
right,
there's
no
way
by
the
way
say:
that's
a
lot
of
cases
58
and
one
grand
jury
to
hold
off.
So
some
of
this
is
backlogged.
Some
of
this
is
some
of
these
are
new
cases.
D
C
D
F
Tim
good
morning,
how
are
you,
sir,
good
morning,
good,
got
a
question
and-
and
I
think
you
you
may
have
some
ancillary
involvement.
F
Would
you
be
willing,
or
are
you
involved
in
any
the
initiatives
with
the
atf
state
police,
dea,
the
county
and
king
key
city
in
terms
of
rat
packs.
D
We
would
not
be
involved
in
anything
like
that.
That's
really
a
law
enforcement
decision
that
they
would
make
at
their
level
to
determine
how
they're
going
to
enforce.
If
they're
going
to
increase
patrols.
You
know
size
of
patrols,
change
shifts
that
that's
law
enforcement.
We
try
to
stay
in
our
lane
with
that
stuff
and
when
you
know
when
they
send
the
cases
up
to
us,
we're
happy
to
review
them
for
charges,
but.
F
But
let
me
pose
this
a
question
to
you
and
you
know
I'm
not
a
neophyte
when
it
comes
to
stuff,
but
but
you
know
you
prosecute
the
bad
guys
right
right,
okay
and
I
I
would
assume
that
you
would
be
able
to
identify
the
bad
guys
and
that
they
would
be
the
targets
of
dea,
atf,
state
police,
etc.
That's
that's
all.
I'm
saying
I'm
sure
that
you
would
be
consulting
with
these
entities
in
terms
of
identifying
the
bad
guys.
D
F
What
I'm
saying
so
I
want
a
continuation
that
I'm
sure
that
it'll
be
enhanced.
Now
new
generation
administration
tell
us
and
I'm
going
to
shut
up
after
this,
tell
us
about
the
restorative
justice
initiative
that
you're
involved
in.
D
You
know
it's
going
well,
we
just
we
got
another
grant
from
the
illinois
state
board
of
education.
It's
about.
I
think
150,
155
000
and
that's
to
get
court
involved
youth
opportunity,
youth,
which
is
kind
of
a
term
that
has
replaced
at
risk
it's
to
get
basically
kids
in
our
county
who
need
help
into
programs
during
the
after
school
hours,
when
they're
most
likely
to
be
at
risk
of
either
becoming
a
victim
of
violence
or
an
offender
of
violence.
D
So
it's
a
little
bit
different
for
an
office,
the
state's
attorney's
office,
to
lead
something
like
that,
but
I
think
we're
well
positioned
in
our
restorative
justice
coordinator.
Some
of
the
reforms
we're
making
with
juvenile
justice.
We
have
great
relationships
with
probation
juvenile
probation
tom
latham
grace
evan
have
been
great
in
their
work
on
that
and
supporting
the
mentoring
program.
I
worked
with
ed
benowit
from
the
public
defender's
office.
A
G
Good
morning,
everyone
good
morning,
ed
report
basically
speaks
for
itself.
I've
really
not
got
anything
specific
to
comment
regarding
that
today,
I'm
obviously
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
know
mr
hunter
of
course
meant
alleged
bad
guys
and
you
know,
but
I'm
being
facetious,
of
course,
but
you
know,
as
mr
rose
stated,
you
know
we
are,
we
all
have
common
goals.
Ultimately,
this
is
the
question
of
how
we
get
there.
G
So
you
know
the
program
he
talked
about
with
the
juvenile
court
is
beneficial
to
the
to
the
minors
you
know
and
ultimately
the
community,
so
yeah,
obviously
we're
for
that.
We're
all
for
that.
So
I
appreciate
mr
rose
spearheading
that
but
other
than
that
I
have
nothing
more
to
comment
regarding
my
report.
But
do
we
have
any
questions.
H
Just
a
couple
things
like
when
cobit
started
so
about
a
year
ago,
we
ran
into
a
problem
with
getting
gps
devices.
There's
a
shortage,
we're
running
into
that
same
problem
right
now.
H
Obviously,
they're
being
used
a
lot
more
during
this
time
period,
which
that
kind
of
leveled
off,
but
now
trying
to
get
them
shipped
to
you,
is
taking
much
longer
so
we're
constantly
working
with
the
vendor
to
always
have
one
ready
or
a
couple
on
the
shelf
to
be
used.
But
if
you
get
more
into
on
the
shelf,
they
want
you
sending
them
back
because
they're
using
them
somewhere
else
and
making
that
money.
H
So
we'll
we'll
continue
to
work
that
problem,
but
it's
just
going
to
be
that
way
until
this
kind
of
level,
so
this
copied
levels
off
goes
back
to
normal.
H
Also,
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
discuss
is
I'm
a
supreme
court
advisory
board
member
and
that
board
reached
out
to
to
all
the
members
asking
if
they
could
find
representatives
from
the
county
board
and
administration
to
speak
to
the
pre-trial
task
force.
Regarding
the
changes
with
the
legislation
we
were
going
through
and
the
impact
that's
going
to
have
on
counties,
operational
and
procedural
wise,
so
I
reached
out
to
chairman
wheeler
and
anita.
They
both
accepted
quickly,
so
that
letter
was
sent
off
and
we'll
find
out
soon
if
they've.
H
If
they're
part
of
that
group,
which
I
think
you
will
be
to
speak
to
the
administration,
the
supreme
court
task
force
regarding
impact
that's
going
to
have
so
I
think
it's
a
good
thing.
It's
a
way
to
get
our
local
issues
explained
and
across
to
to
the
supreme
court
and
how
it
relates
to
funding
going
on
the
road
and
things
like
that
we'll
find
out
later.
But
I
think
I
was
happy
that
the
chairman
and
anita
agreed
to
do
that.
So
we'll
know
soon
when
that
isn't
everything
so.
H
My
question
with
the
gurney
interns
yeah:
we
have,
we
just
started
that
back
up
obviously
was
suspended
during
the
covid,
but
we
do
have
two
lined
up
for
the
summer,
along
with
other,
smaller
shorter
job
shadow
type
things
people
coming
in,
so
we're
getting
that
back
up
and
running.
I
think
in
the
summer
we
have
one
one
scheduled
for
our
juvenile
and
and
adult
division.
So.
I
If
you
look
at
our
average
revenue
per
day
december,
through
march
of
2020,
were
pre-coveted
numbers
and
april
20th
through
today
are
post,
coven
numbers
and,
as
you
can
see,
it
looks
like
we're
right
around
six
thousand
seven
thousand
dollars
less
per
day.
Just
because
we
haven't
taken
a
lot
of
new
ones.
I
We've
obviously
been
dealing
with
covid,
but
since
cove
had
started,
we
we
literally
whoever
they
took
out,
wasn't
replaced,
and
that
was
a
decision
that
we
made
obviously
for
coveted
reasons,
and
the
numbers
were
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
down
anyway
for
different
reasons.
But,
however,
those
numbers
are
starting
to
trend
back
up
a
little
bit.
So
that's
a
positive
thing.
I
guess
our
transports.
We
have
increased
medical
transports
and
limited
transports
for
the
feds
and
ice.
I
In
fact,
we've
only
gone
up
to
chicago
for
ice
once
and
we've
gone
to
chicago
for
the
marshals
five
times
and
that's
strictly
their
story.
They're
doing
a
lot
of
things
by
video,
which
is
a
plus
limits.
The
transports
and
our
transports
to
the
courthouse
are
increasing,
as
the
courts
start
getting
back
to
some
semblance
of
normal
and
our
juvenile
transports
have
increased,
and
I
don't
know
tom
if
you
can
touch
on
that.
If
how
many
we
have
in
custody
or
what
we're
doing,
I
know
there's
some
in
custody,
yeah.
H
I
On
the
sworn
side,
all
the
numbers
are,
are,
you
know
fairly
consistent?
Unfortunately,
we
do
have.
We
have
had
two
fatals
so
far
in
2021
questions
on
the
report.
I
I
actually
have
a
little
bit
more
information
down
at
the
end.
Okay,
that
I'll
address
with
the
department
of
corrections.
I
I
think
what's
the
second
bit
opening
you
want
to
do
the
bid
opening
we
can.
I
have
two
I
received
two,
which
was.
I
A
couple
things
when
we,
when
we
got
the
quotes
we
got
the
quotes
from,
I
think
we
got
three
quotes
we
sent.
Obviously
we
sent
those
bid
specs
out
to
those
three.
Only
one
of
those
three
sent
us
a
bid,
which
was
a
little
bit
surprising.
I
It
was
published
in
the
daily
journal
as
we're
required
to
do
on
april
the
3rd,
which
was
the
saturday
weekend
edition.
I
I
don't
know
if
it
was
in
there
or
not.
I
don't
get
the
paper,
so
somebody
can
confirm
that
I
assuming
it
was,
we
got
billed
for
it.
So.
I
To
mix
and
match,
if
you
will
so
one
company
we
have,
we
have
some
in-car
computers
that
are
one
company.
We
have
some
in-car
computers
that
are
another
company,
as
we've
moved
forward
and
and
things
have
changed,
and
so
with
the
body
cameras,
we
ask
the
bidders
to
bid
everything
now
we
can
still
go
back
and
take
and
mix
and
match
if
we
choose
to
or
we
can
try
and
make
everything
one
so
that
everything's
compatible.
I
We
don't
have
to
worry
about,
because
obviously
one
of
the
concerns
is
if
something
malfunctions
under
this
legislation
and
this
new
legislation,
you
know
our
officers
could
potentially
be
charged
with
a
with
a
class
iii
felony.
So
I
think
to
to
safeguard
our
staff
from
that
equipment,
not
working
correctly,
because
it's
different
manufacturers
that
we
we
go
with
the
same
type
of
system,
so
our
same
company.
So
that's
how
these
are
bidded
out.
We
still
have
the
option
to
piecemeal
it.
If
we
choose.
I
I
I
Yes,
I
got
there
yeah,
I
actually.
I
turned
right
to
the
thing
here:
yeah
decatur
illinois.
I
K
L
Thank
you
is
the
first
number
that
231
inclusive
of
the
the
back
end,
the
cloud,
the
the.
If
you
will,
the
storage
area
or
the
service.
I
I
Yes,
okay,
yeah
now
the
other
thing
to
keep
in
mind
and
the
reason
that
I
mean
some
may
complain
that
they
only
had
two
weeks
to
do
this,
but
the
bottom
line
is:
we
have
to
get
our
camera
price
in
to
the
state
of
illinois
so
that
we
are
eligible
for
a
grant
to
cover
those
cameras.
I
I
So
keep
that
in
mind
too,
as
we
go
over
these
prices,
the
the
cameras
themselves
will
be
should
be
paid
for
through
a
grant.
I
I
I
To
have
body
worn
cameras
on
it,
which
kind
of
defeats
the
purpose,
but
the
number
on
here
the
quote:
total
is
one
hundred
and
thirty
one
thousand
and
forty
dollars,
but
it
doesn't
appear
to
have
body
worn
cameras
on
it.
So,
but
we
will
take
obviously
take
a
look
at
it
and
have
rit
department
go
through
it
and
make
sure
we're
getting
what
we
need
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
finance.
D
B
B
I
Go
ahead,
yeah
one
additional
thing
about
the
body
cameras,
the
body,
worn
cameras.
Last.
I
believe
it
was
the
finance
committee
meeting
that
mr
smith,
from
salina,
requested
that
we
reach
out
to
the
smaller
departments
to
see
if
they
would
have
any
interest,
and
we
did
do
that
and
we
did
have
some
interest
from
a
couple
of
the
smaller
departments,
and
so
we
are
working
with
them
to
get
them
incorporated
as
part
of
this
price.
So
we
did,
we
did
reach
out
to
them.
So
that
was
a
good
suggestion.
Yep
yep.
I
J
Does
that
report
or
questions?
I
have
one
question
and
I
just
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
and
I
did
not
know-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
that
answers
well,
but
the
area
in
pembroke.
I
know
with
this.
This
windfall
of
dollars
is
coming
into
the
area
there.
It
was
questions
as
to
is
there
any
way
they
can
probably
get
some
police
seeing
in
that
area
through
this
through
their
through
those
dollars
or
whatever
to
start.
I
Well,
that's
going
to
be
a
covid
question,
and,
and
and
what
I
would
say
to
that
mr
snipes-
is
that
if
you
recall
we
got
two
grants
or
we
have
a
had
a
grant
for
two
sros
school
resource
officers
and
and
and
lorenzo
smith
declined
it
that
would
have
given
them
a
police
officer
out
in
the
hopkins
park
area
who,
while
he
would
have
been
the
school
resource
officer,
he
would
have
been
able
to
respond
to
any
issues
going
on
out
there.
I
If
we
didn't
have
another
car
there,
so
we
we
are
trying
and
if
you
can
convince
their
school
board
that
having
an
sro
out
there
would
be
a
good
idea.
I've
tried
and
I've
met
with
a
couple
different
school
board
members,
and
this
of
course
I
I
coach
baseball
out
there.
I
So
I
have
a
good
relationship
with
the
superintendent
and
we
would
be
we'd
be
thrilled
to
have
a
deputy
out
there,
basically
every
day
that
their
school
and
so
if
any
contacts
or
anything
you
can
do
to
convince
them
that
that
would
be
a
an
asset
that
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
N
I
That
was
out
there,
some
and-
and
I
think
it
was
even
referenced
in
the
email
that
dr
alexander
sent
me
about
different
school
districts,
although
the
only
one
I
know
at
this
point
was
chicago
who
was
really
fighting
to
say,
we
don't
want
the
cops
in
our
schools,
so
I
think
that
was
kind
of
the
mentality
back
then,
and
I
believe
me
I
have
said
you
know,
I
think,
there's
you
know
the
misinformation
out
there
about
school
resource
officers.
Simply
this
they're
not
out
there.
I
And
you
know
we
didn't
put
one
out
there
because
they
needed
they
felt
they
needed
one
for
safety
and
security.
They
have.
You
know
a
big
wide
variety
of
students
and
we
are
able
to
touch
all
of
them
in
in
ways
education
ways.
You
know
educational
ways
and
he's
put
on
programs
he's
actually
put
on
a
program.
That's
been
very
good.
I
had
the
powerpoint
that
he
presented
and
we're
actually
working
on
getting
it
out
to
all
the
schools
about
what
to
do
during
a
traffic.
I
I
F
Mr,
mr
chairman,
to
piggyback
on
that
sheriff
downing
you
and
I
have
a
mutual
friend
of
fiora
space
and
tinker.
You
know
there.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
different
initiatives
in
terms
of
you
know
what
happens
when
5.0
stops
you
you
know
this
pace
was
a.
F
I
guess,
like
a
community
liaison
person,
and
there
was
a
program
they
had
like
donuts
for
dads
and
they
had
especially
you
know.
Men
rarely
go
to
the
schools
so
anyway
they
were.
There
were
grandfathers,
uncles,
grandfathers,
you
know
dads
and
all
that
stuff
and
they'd
have
them
there,
and
some
of
the
programming
was.
What
do
you
do
when
you
stop
by
the
cops
you
know
the
do's
and
don'ts
and
so
forth?
F
There
are
a
lot
of
other
initiatives
which
are
done
as
well
too,
which
have
been
been
assets
in
terms
of
teaching
our
kids,
especially
people,
kids,
who
look
like
me
and
and
snipes
in
terms
of
what
transpires
when
the.
When
the
cops
stop
you
very,
we
did
some
role
playing
as
well,
too,
really
good
stuff.
F
So
I
think
that's
that's
very
important
and
what
the
sheriff
says
is
is
correct
and
it
gives
you
a
different
perspective
in
terms
of
you
know:
people
telling
you
what
to
do
in
light
of
george,
all
this
other
stuff,
that's
going
on
now
so
and
it's
very
timely.
F
It's
it's,
you
know
reared
his
ugly
head
again,
but
I
I
think
it's
you
know
necessary
that
we
continue
to
provide
information
because
there's
so
much
misinformation
out
there
about
you
know,
cops
and
and
all
that
stuff,
and
I
think
we
as
a
county
board,
were
ahead
of
the
game
by
passing
a
resolution
and
supporting
law
enforcement
and
and
not
the
abolition
of
the
police,
so
to
speak
so
yeah
there's
an
ongoing
trial
and
tribulations
in
terms
of
informing
people,
especially
people
of
color,
about
do's
and
don'ts.
L
Just
for
the
sheriff
do
sros,
like
is
a
matter
of
policy.
Are
they
not
allowed
to
have
cameras,
or
should
they
not
have
cameras?
I'm
just
curious
about
that.
I
I
don't
believe
they
have
them
on
when
they're
out
there.
Unless
something
happens,
but
of
course
we
don't
have
cameras
yet
so
we.
I
J
This
one
other,
I
find
it
somewhat
disheartening
because
it
does
two
things
with
the
sro
one.
Is
it's
it's
a
safety,
it's
a
safety
plus
to
have
them
there,
but
also
it
gives
the
students
opportunity
to
and
the
police
to
relationship
bill.
J
That's
basically
what
happens
when
they're
in
school,
at
least
with
isro's
it
gives
them
they
get
a
chance
to
talk
with
them
and
then
they're
like
norm
and
though,
and
that
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
go
in
and
just
if
there's
a
problem
with
something
they'll
quickly
talk
to
someone
that
they're
familiar
right
with.
So
in
that
case,
I
you
know,
that's
why
I
would
have
probably
supported
the
sro.
J
When
I
was
a
kid.
I
know
it
doesn't
a
few
years
back,
you
know
I
was
born
in
the
projects
of
the
robert
taylor
homes
in
chicago
and
when
the
gangs
initiated,
which
was
the
copa
stones
at
that
time,
they
initiated
the
game.
J
It
was
something
I
like
to
do
because
it
just
wasn't
my
style,
but
eventually
I
was
able
to
come
out
of
that
through
a
cousin
that
didn't
allow
me
to
have
to
engage
in
that,
but
they
had
a
program
called
the
junior
police
and
they
gave
us
a
little
card
and
there
was
a
little
card
on
the
inside.
A
little
kind
of
like
thing
had
the
badge
on
the
outside
and
on
the
photo
and
singing.
J
So
I
thought
that
was
the
greatest
thing
in
the
world
when
we
went
to
the
junior
police
thing
or
whatever
the
only
thing
that
that
I
would
have
cautioned
myself
back
then
was
I
went
to
go
and
arrest
the
cobra
stones
and
those
black
panthers
and
black
keystones
in
my
junior
police
card.
Suffice
it
to
say
I
had
to
run
but
other
than
that.
I
think
it's
a
good
relationship
building.
J
I
Well,
and
to
give
you
a
quick
example,
the
last
deputy
that
we
hired
was
somebody
who
went
through
kankakee
high
school,
who
one
of
their
one
of
their
sros,
knew,
and
we
were
able
to
as
part
of
our
background,
talk
to
another
police
officer
to
say:
hey
how's,
this
kid
and
he's
got
a
glowing
recommendation
and
he's
he's
a
sharp
kid
great
kid
and
we're
glad
we
have
him
and
so
yeah
justin,
and
I
don't
know
if
what
that
sro
did
with
with
that
student,
you
know
wanted
the
reason
he
wanted
to
become
a
police
officer,
but
you
know
it's
certainly
a
benefit
to
all
of
us.
I
I
I
We
received
an
email
back
on
march
23rd
and
some
of
you
saw
it,
and-
and
I
guess
you
know
if
you
have
to
if
you
have
to
qualify
something
with
we're,
not
accusing
we're
not
accusing
you
of
doing
anything
wrong,
then
you're,
probably
accusing
you're
doing
something
wrong
and
all
this
would
have
taken
was
a
quick
phone
call.
I
The
incident
which
is
here
which
is
this
is
the
narrative
that
is
printed
out
from
cancom,
which
I
don't
believe
you
guys
have.
No,
but
basically
we
got
a
report.
The
illinois
state
police
had
a
report
of
a
stolen
semi,
going
down
interstate
57
and
we
had
a
car
that
was
in
the
area
that
got
on
the
interstate
to
follow
that
truck
or
semi.
I
I
Well,
it's
it's!
Finance
I'll
have
to
approve
it,
but
I
just
want
to
give
this
committee
a
heads
up
that
listen.
You
know
we
have
every
right
to
go
into
iroquois
county,
our
deputy
doesn't
live
in
kankakee
or
doesn't
live
in
iroquois
county.
He
lives
in
kangaki
county
that
is
required
by
the
fop
contract
that
our
deputies
live
in
the
county,
and
those
are
questions
that
are
asked
here
and
it's
you
know,
like
I
said
it's.
I
It
could
have
been
handled
instead
of
taking
up
probably
a
half
an
hour
of
the
auditor's
time
to
type
the
email
and
then
for
us
to
go
look
into
it.
It
probably
costs
more
than
130
dollars
that
it
costs
to
fix
the
flat
tire.
I
But
I
just
want
to
make
the
board
aware
that
of
what
we're
dealing
and
I
understand
all
about
looking
into
fraud
or
anybody
trying
to
get
one
over.
But
things
could
have
been
handled
by
a
quick,
30-second
phone
call.
I
You
know
further
it'll
go
and
go
to
the
final
go
to
finance
my
mistake,
then
I
appreciate
it.
No
animal
control
update
things
are
going
very
well
at
animal
control,
carrie
laird
and
the
staff
over
there
are
doing
a
great
job.
I
We
have
kind
of
waited
for
elections
in
different
municipalities
to
be
done,
and
so
they
are
done,
and
so
we
will
proceed
with
trying
to
contract
with
the
village
of
bradley
the
city
of
kankakee
and
then
move
on
from
there,
and
I
don't
know,
miss
parker.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
the
signage
that
the
fowl
signage
or
the
the
wild
yeah,
the
wild
yeah.
N
Yes,
it
was
approved
and
is
still
in
the
printer
manufacturing
and
those
signs
will
be
delivered
and
then
we
will
work
with
the
park
districts
that
have
approved
it
and
we're
going
to
get
those
out,
especially
now
that
the
ground
is
softer.
We
have
volunteers
that
will
do
it.
All
we
need
is
permission
as
where
to
place
them.
N
So
thanks
again
to
the
sheriff's
office
and
the
state's
attorney's
office
county
board
illinois
department
of
resources,
everyone
for
supporting
this
particular
project,
we're
real,
proud
of
it,
and
it's
going
to
be
very
helpful
not
only
for
the
animals
but
for
littering
in
the
park
by
leaving
garbage
and
food
that
rots.
So
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
win-win
for
all
of
us,
so
thank
you
sheriff
very
much.
I
wish
you
were
here
at
the
community
services
meeting
last
month
that
we
thanked
you.
I
That's
all
I
have
on
the
agenda.
I've
got
a
few
more
things
to
cover.
I
So
the
week
after
easter
sunday
nakamoto,
which
is
the
company
that
does
the
inspections
for
ice,
came
in,
did
a
three-day
inspection
and
obviously
we've
been
doing
this
since
2016.
I
As
far
as
the
inspections
we
get
inspected
by
nakamoto
twice
a
year
every
six
months,
and
we
we
also
get
inspected
by
the
office
of
detention
oversight,
which
is
the
odo,
is
their
acronym
or
whatever.
You
want
to
call
it.
When
nakamoto
is
here,
the
only
finding
we
had,
which
we
have
every
time
is
no
outdoor
wreck,
which
everybody
knows.
I
However,
those
that
are
in
ice
custody
do
have
the
right,
after
six
months,
to
request
a
move
to
a
place
where
there
is
outdoor
wreck
and,
as
far
as
I
know,
we've
not
got
any
requests
but
they're,
very
limited
in
in
the
number
of
county
jails
that
actually
do
have
outdoor
wreck.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
we
are-
and
I
I
know
I
brought
this
up
before
as
far
as
trying
to
look
for
some
pricing
and
things
like
that,
to
possibly
have
some
in
one
way
or
another.
I
Covid
kind
of
put
a
halt
to
all
that,
so
we're
going
to
kind
of
start
that
back
up
again
to
see
if
we
can't
come
up
with
some
sort
of
outdoor
wreck
area.
That
would
not
only
benefit
ice
but
would
also
benefit
our
u.s
marshall
inmates,
as
well
as
our
local
inmates
as
well.
So
we
will
work
on
that.
Mr.
L
Wheeler,
just
just
for
the
committee's
knowledge
and
the
sheriff
that
is
on
the
I'll
call
it
the
big
board
for
potential
uses
of
coven
money,
because
we
knew
that
there
there
is
an
application
for
you
know
covet,
but
there's
also,
if
we're
getting
reimbursed
for
lost
revenue.
So
as
far
as
getting
bids
and
things
like
that,
it
would
be
appropriate.
So
we
know
if
we.
L
I
I
haven't
given
you
a
report
on
this
in
in
probably
a
year.
I
guess,
but
if
you
recall,
I
know
bob's
here
and
he's
probably
still
a
little
steamed
about
it,
but
we
did
steal
an
employee
from
bob
a
few
years
ago
and
and
katie
does
all
of
our
medical
billing,
and
I'm
telling
you
the
amount
of
money
that
she
has
saved
this
county
over
the
course
of
since
she
started
with
us
on
may
in
may
of
2018
is
unbelievable.
I
You
know
medical
billing
is
so
confusing
and
if
you
don't
know
the
code
you're
looking
at
what
you're
looking
for
and
all
this
other
stuff,
you
know
people
are
just
gonna
pay,
whatever
the
the
bill
says,
and
she
does
a
great
job
in
getting
our
bills
reduced,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
our
expenses,
our
medical
expenses
through
march
or
I'm
sorry
december
of
2020
through
march
of
2021,
our
expenses
were
75
231
our
savings
because
she
went
through
and
had
things
recoded
and
had
things
changed
and
prices
changed.
I
She
saved
thirty,
five
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighteen
in
three
months,
and
so
the
amount
we
actually
paid
was
thirty.
Nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
twelve
and
over
the
course
of
the
time
from
may
18th
to
march
31st,
she
has
saved
us
344
953
in
medical
bills,
so
credit
to
her.
Thank
you
bob.
We
appreciate
it.
I
So
last
week
we
did
inoculate
124
inmates
we
had
probably
another
40
or
so
that
we
were
going
to
do
yesterday.
But
when
that
came
out
yesterday
morning,
we
we
put
a
pause
on
it,
so
we
did
start
the
vaccine
process
if
they
don't
restart
the
johnson
and
johnson
anytime
soon
we
will
probably
look
at
the
potential
for
moderna
or
pfizer,
but
we're
hoping
that
they
start
up.
K
I
I
I
think
we
only
have
about
seven
or
eight
females.
Sorry
about
that,
but
I
don't
know
I
I
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
I
don't
know
if
any
females
got
the
vaccine
to
tell
you
the
truth,
so
I
can't
answer
that.
I'm
guessing
no
but
don't
know
so
I
apologize
for
that
thought
I
had
it.
I
thought
I
was
ahead
of
the
game.
I
Okay
to
mr
hess's
question
on
department
of
corrections.
We
currently
have
33
waiting
to
be
transferred,
the
only
department
of
corrections,
the
lawsuit
that
the
sheriff's
filed
against
the
state
of
illinois
and
governor
pritzker.
I
I
So
the
284
thousand
dollar
bill
from
march
to
july
includes
medical,
so
any
medical
costs
that
we
have
with
the
other
inmates.
From
august
1st
to
march
31st,
there
were
7
609,
total
days
of
housing
after
these
guys
have
been
sentenced
now
in
our
daily
rate,
which
we
charge
them
the
marshals
and
ice
at
90.
I
That's
684,
000
810.
So
when
you
add
the
284
you're
talking
almost
a
million
dollars
of
housing
that
right
now,
our
local
taxpayers
have
have
shouldered
that
cost,
and
that
does
not
include
medical
now.
The
biggest
issue
in
all
this
is
liability.
We've
had
one
of
these
individuals
who's
been
in
our
custody
since
december,
who
is
still
in
our
custody
and
has
not
been
transferred
to
the
only
department
of
corrections
and
the
problem
with
that
is
the
liability.
I
If
something
happens
that
individual,
while
he's
in
our
custody,
regardless
if
he's
been
sentenced
or
not,
falls
on
the
county,
so
I
have
had
a
couple
conversations
with
people
down
in
springfield
with
doc.
I
haven't
got
to
the
top
guy,
yet
acting
director
rob
jeffries.
He
won't
call
me
back.
He
always
has
somebody
else
call
me
back,
but
they
know
my
position.
They
know
our
frustration
and
I
get
covet.
I
get.
I
You
know
that
we
because
believe
me,
we
all
fought
through
it
I
mean,
and
actually,
while
we're
on
covid,
we
are
covered
free
at
the
boat
jails
right
now,
so
knock
on
wood.
Let's,
hopefully
keep
it
that
way.
I
get
that
everybody's
dealing
with
covid,
but
this
this
burden
that
has
been
laid
on,
our
local
taxpayers
is
significant
and
as
the
sheriffs
I
know,
we
all
are
contacting
springfield
we're
all
contacting
our
legislators.
I
It
would
actually
help
if
you
as
county
board
members
would
do
the
same,
because
this
is
affecting
our
local
general
fund.
So
I
will
forward
you
the
number.
If
you
choose
to
call,
I
would
appreciate
it.
I
think
they
need
to
hear
from
more
than
just
the
sheriff's,
because
quite
frankly,
I
don't
think
they
like
the
sheriff's,
because
we
don't
you
know
we
we
want
to
get
things
done
and
they
don't
want
to
work
with
us.
So
so
I
will
send
that
out
to
kelly
and
have
her
forwarded
out
to
the
group.
I
I
So
I
don't
know
if
these
individuals
know
that
I
mean
we've
been
upfront
with
them.
Saying
hey
your
outdate's
here,
but
you
have
to
go
to
doc.
First,
we
can't
release
you
from
our
facility
now
doc.
Once
we
notify
doc,
all
of
a
sudden
doc
takes
those
guys
so
they're
only
taking
the
ones
that
have
served
their
time,
so
they
go
down
to
doc.
They
go
down
to
the
intake
center
in
stateville.
I
G
Sure
can
I
speak
to
that
sheriff
briefly
sure.
I
just
want
to
kind
of
dovetail
what
the
sheriff's
saying.
I've
got
a
list
of
all
the
people
who
are
sentenced
to
prison,
not
all
the
people,
but
the
people
who
should
be
near
the
completion
of
their
sentence.
I've
been
reaching
out
to
doc
and
gotten
a
little
bit
of
traction.
More
importantly,
the
corrections
count
local
corrections,
county
corrections.
G
Amanda
has
been
doing
a
very
good
job,
prioritizing
them
reaching
out
to
the
department
of
corrections
to
make
sure
that
the
people
who
should
be
released
are
really
so
so
I
just
want
to
get.
You
know
shout
out
to
the
sheriff's
department
because
they
are
following
through
on
this
they're,
not
just
sitting
on
their
hands,
they're,
actually
being
very
proactive
on
this
issue.
That's
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say
sure.
I
Well,
thank
you
and
again,
nobody
wants
to
you
know
here's
the
deal
you
got
sentenced
whatever
you
got
sense
for
whatever
you
did.
You
got
sensitive
time
when
your
time
is
up.
Your
time
should
be
up,
that's
the
way
it
should
be,
and
so,
if
you're
working
house
longer,
then
then
what
that
out
date
says
that's
a
problem.
G
That's
a
huge
problem
inside
baseball,
but
traditionally
inmates
get
an
additional
six
months,
credit
on
longer
sentences,
three-year
sentences,
four-year
sentences,
and
I
think
that's
being
affected
by
this
also,
so
I
think
the
inmates,
although
many
of
them
are,
are
being
sentenced
with
or
doing
the
time
that
is
consistent
with
their
sentence
realistically,
if
it
wasn't
coded
and
if
they
were
transported
to
juliet,
they
would
have
gotten
additional
time
also.
So
it's
it
is
a
bad
situation
right,
no
question.
I
I
These
are
bullet
points
of
what
we
are
trying
to
address,
and
I
say
we
law
enforcement
there's
a
coalition
between
the
sheriff's
association,
the
illinois
association
of
chiefs
of
police
and
the
fop,
and
that
coalition
has
worked
on
a
number
of
things
to
address
and
and
they're
not.
I
mean
they're
just
bullet
points,
so
they're,
not
really.
I
I
I've
been
told
not
to
share
them
yet
until
they
file
the
well,
they
gotta
file
the
they
want
to
file
it
so
I'll
respect
that
but
they're
they're
basically
changes
that
we've
talked
about
in
here.
They
do
want
to
one
of
the
things
that
I
will
talk
about
is
they
did.
They
are
requesting
that
two
things
that
the
body
cameras
be
pushed
out
a
year.
So,
if
like
for
us,
we
technically
don't
have
to
have
body
cameras
till
january
2023.
I
If
they
agree
to
this
or
if
this
gets
passed,
it
would
be
january
2024.
So
that's
one
thing
and
then
the
other
thing
is
with
all
the
training
that's
required
and
some
of
these
things
going
into
effect
on
july
1st
we're
asking
that
they
move
that
date
back
from
july
1st
to
january
1st,
because
you
can't
get
35
000
police
officers
in
the
state
of
illinois
trained
in
less
than
two
months
for
what
they're
asking
for.
So
those
are
two
of
the
two
of
the
things
on
here.
I
The
rest
of
it
is
a
lot
of
language,
a
lot
of
cleanup
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
addressing
some
of
those
unintended
consequences
that
I
think
the
governor
spoke
to.
I
think
representative
slaughter
spoke
to.
I
think
senator
sims
spoke
to
those
unintended
consequences
that
that
are
out
there.
So
sterner.
F
Mr
chairman,
I'm
about
cashless
bail.
I
That
will
be
addressed.
I
don't
believe
it's
addressed
in
these
changes
because
it
doesn't
take
effect
until
2023.
K
F
Mr
chairman,
if
I
might
mr
chairman,
have
you
talked
to
senator
sims
about
that?
I
know.
You've
had
an
audience
with
him
and
I
know
you
have
too
sheriff
downey.
L
I
have
had
a
conversation
with
the
senator
it
was.
It
was
a
very
good
one.
Actually
you
know
we
talked
about
a
number
of
things,
but
this
he
made
a
comment
like
there's
more
to
come.
I
didn't
really
specify
what
that
meant,
but
he
said
stay
tuned.
He
listened
to
my
concerns
about
you,
know
the
policing
part
of
the
bill
and
then
I
said
you
know,
but
I'm
leaving
that
to
the
sheriff's
association.
L
That's
not
something
that
I'm
trying
to
bog
myself
down
with
others
on
the
board
are
concerned
with
it.
We're
really
taking
a
deep
dive
into
the
numbers
on
what
it's
going
to
do.
Our
court
system-
and
I
said
one
once
I
get
that
number-
I'm
gonna
get
back
to
you
and
he
said
well,
you
know
stay
tuned.
You
know,
and
you
know,
there's
more
to
come
on
that
issue.
So
I
don't
know
what
that
means,
but
it
wasn't
a
negative
call
by
any
means.
I
L
If
I
could,
mr
chairman,
go
ahead,
it
dovetails
off
of
the
question
that
that
steve
threw
to
me
at
executive
committee
we're
going
to
be
going
through
some
of
these
legislative
initiatives,
and
it
really
goes
to
sandy
and
state's
attorney
public
defender
anybody
else
who
has
a
horse
in
the
race
if
there's
bills
in
springfield
that
have
to
do
with.
L
You
know,
obviously
the
county
board,
but
your
office
that
you
think
that
we
should
get
behind,
maybe
be
prepared
to
send
those
to
us
we'll
get
them
on
the
agenda
for
executive
this
month
and
then
maybe
come
in
and
talk
about
a
little
bit,
because
then
that
committee
can
put
it
on
our
agenda,
put
in
front
of
our
legislators
and
lobbyists
and
throw
our
shoulder
into
it.
I
I
You
know
obviously
people
members
of
the
general
public
I
mean
they're,
certainly
welcome
to
fill
out
a
witness
slip
do
whatever,
but
you
know,
sometimes
when
you
hear
from
the
same
people
over
and
over
and
over
again,
it
kind
of
goes
in
one
ear,
not
the
other.
So
hearing
from
prominent
members
of
the
board,
you
guys
as
as
part
of
the
criminal
justice
committee,
would
it
would
help
significantly.
I
So
I
met
with
chief
judge
kramer
yesterday
and
I
haven't
I'm
kind
of
blindsiding
tom
here
a
little
bit,
but
it's
a
good
thing.
It's
a
good
thing.
I
In
years
past
the
city
of
kankakee
had
a
a
cso,
thank
you
and
he
or
she
took
the
inmates
out
and
they
cleaned
up
and
did
odd
jobs
throughout
the
county
that
needed
cleaning
up,
and
I
think
or
throughout
the
city
rather,
but
we
would
like
to
do
it
county-wide
and
concentrate
on
areas
that
truly
need
it
and
make
our
make
our
county.
I
I
Sorry,
mr
hunter,
but
you
know
it
gives
them
something
to
do.
It
gets
them
off
our
court
docket
once
their
community
service
is
done
and
may
even
ease
up
a
little
bit
of
tom's
case
load
as
well.
So
it's
just
a
thought
that,
and
I
did
have
the
conversation
with
judge
kramer
and
he
was
all
for
it.
So.
H
No,
we've
we've
had
this
discussion
in
our
office
already
back
years
ago,
probably
10
years
ago.
Now
we
did
away
with
basically
coordinating
public
service
work
hours
going
out
and
coming
in
the
discussion
with
judge
cunnington
traffic
was
to
bring
that
back
into
our
office.
We
have
a
way
to
do
it
now
and
we
also
have
like
I
said.
A
lot
of
cases
are
transferred
into
our
office
from
everywhere
that
have
a
lot
of
hours
so
well,
yeah.
J
That's
the
question
I
in
your
endeavors
to
make
this
county
aesthetically
pleasing.
I
Be
cautious,
yeah
we're
cautious
of
what
we
do.
Oh
yeah,
absolutely
we.
L
I
And
lastly,
a
reminder
in
case
you
haven't
seen
it
this
week
is
national.
Telecommunicators
week
our
telecommunicators
at
cancom
do
an
outstanding
job
they're,
the
first
people
that
deal
with
the
public
when
they
call
9-1-1
or
when
they
call
the
non-emergency
number,
and
they
not
only
you
know,
do
a
great
job
keeping
our
community
safe.
They
do
a
great
job,
keeping
our
officers
safe,
paramedics,
police
fire.
They
do
a
great
job.
So
if
you
get
a
chance,
reach
out
to
them
and
tell
them.
Thank
you.
So
that's
all
I
got.
B
M
Are
you
you're
already?
Okay?
Here
we
are
yeah,
we
will
vote
on
it,
okay,
just
to
go
over
our
report.
I
don't
have
a
lot
here
for
you
be
out
of
here
in
a
second
here,
but
our
our
our
calls,
if
you're
looking
at
that
particular
sheet
right
now,
we're
down
in
the
month
of
march,
which
is
good,
autopsies
are
holding
about
where
they're
at
eight
to
nine
per
month,
other
than
that
I'll.
Take
any
questions
on
that
at
all,
as
well
kind
of
self-explanable,
any.
M
Also
too,
the
last
thing
is:
I'm
always
kind
of
a
recorder.
Repeat
myself
a
lot
on
this,
but
on
a
serious
side,
our
overdoses
are
still
going
up
on
us.
We've
hit
this
month
here,
which
is
not
on
on
your
in
april.
Here
we've
hit
a
number.
These
are
people
that
are
that
have
been
off
the
stuff
like
heroin
for
a
while,
and
they
try
it
back
again
and
all
of
a
sudden
now
fentanyl
is
is
back
heavy
on
us.
That's
all,
basically!
M
Well
all
we're
seeing
right
now
is
fentanyl,
which
is
a
a
drug,
that's
between
80
to
100
times
more
powerful
than
the
morphine
itself.
So
we're
concerned
about
that
still
not
able
to
get
out
to
the
public,
which
I
would
love
to.
I
use
the
news
media
every
once
in
a
while.
M
We
keep
our
statistics
of
where
we're
at
on
our
facebook
page
so
other
than
that
that
that
concerns
me
it's
it's
sad.
When
you
talk
to
the
family
and
the
family
tells
you
you
know,
they've
been
off
of
it
for
a
while,
and
they
they
they
just
they
just
get
back
on
it
and
and
what's
out
there
right
now,
is
a
mixture
of
of
heroin
and
and
fentanyl,
but
right
right
now
we're
just
seeing
flat
fentanyl
I'm
working
a
little
bit
more
with
law
enforcement
and
also
with
kmeg.
M
I
I
do
say
that
our
our
numbers
are
16
cases
right
now.
Two
pending
the
average
age,
is
still
at
42
years
of
age.
The
youngest
is
at
22.
oldest,
is
at
69.
M
11,
males,
five
females,
12
caucasians,
four
african-americans,
and
basically
everything
is
right.
Around
high
school,
from
ninth
to
nine
to
twelve
we've
had
six
education,
wise,
high
school
diploma,
seven
and
associate
degree.
One
and
bachelor
degree
excuse
me
one.
So
it
doesn't
seem
like
a
lot,
but
that's
a
lot
we're
on
the
average
age
of
going
right
back
to
50
again
and
50.
M
Does
it's
also
every
od
has
to
be
autopsy
and
that's
that's
pushes
our
our
levels
up
and
that
toxicology
lately
we
with
the
new
different
drugs
that
are
coming
out
now.
It
costs
us
a
little
bit
more
money
because
it's
really
not
on
the
training
right
now,
the
m
s
labs,
which
is
the
number
one
lab
in
the
united
states
that
we
use
it's
not
on
there.
M
L
Mr
wheeler,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
The
deep
bob
are
you
hearing
anything
about
this
this
this
whole
medical
examiner
thing
that
pops
up
every
couple
of
years.
They
want
to
make
the
corners
medical
examiners,
but
yet
there
aren't
any
enough
medical
examiners
in
the
state
to
I'm
just
curious.
Have
you
heard
anything
about
that.
M
It's
on
it's
when
you
talked
about
I'm
going
to
send
you
our
bills
that
we
have,
and
one
of
those
are
that
it
it's
really
almost
physically
impossible
to
do
that,
because
cook
county
has
12
emmys.
We
have
four
in
this
county
right
here
that
two
that
serve
us
and
two
that
are
part
part-time,
that
we
get
we're
blessed
to
have
that.
But
you
go
downstate
there.
They
got
to
go
to
indiana
and
all
that
stuff.
It's
a
lot
of
money
to
travel.
M
It
would
shut
down
my
morgue
to
have
to
go
probably
to
cook
county.
You
know
it's
something
you
don't
want
to
have
and
I
understand
their
point,
but
there
are
coroners
out
there
that
that
know
their
jobs
and
know
what
to
do
and
there's
some
of
them
that
in
any
profession
you
run
across.
That
happens,
you
know,
but
our
I'm
very.
I
we
watched
that
bill
quite
heavily.
We
just
there's
only
like
300
some,
I
think
300
mes
in
through
the
whole
united
states,
so
you
figure
that
out.
M
You'll
have
to
move
a
lot.
So
years
ago
we
had
to
go
to
grundy
county
when
we
didn't
have
the
more
on
all
of
our
our
accidentals
and
homicides
so,
and
that
was
costly
to
not
only
to
us
the
police
departments
because
they
got
to
send
their
detectives
or
whoever.
So
it's
it's
quite
I'd,
love
to
talk
on
that
in
front
of
a
lot
of
people.
So,
okay.
