Description
Kankakee County Criminal Justice Meeting 8/14/2019 7:30 AM
A
B
C
Good
morning,
most
of
you
know
me:
I
am
Kim
bacon,
a
member
of
connect
Kankakee,
but
today
I'm
not
representing
anybody
except
myself,
I'm
speaking
just
my
own
opinions,
I'm
here
to
comment
about
the
immigrants
here
at
the
Jerome
combs
Detention
Center
I
watched
the
criminal
justice
meetings
on
YouTube
and
last
month.
I
believe
some
information
may
have
been
misunderstood.
I
wanted
to
inform
mr.
Snipes
and
oh
he's
here
that
ice
takes
these
people
into
custody
and
not
police
officers.
So
I
thought
that
needed
to
be
pointed
out.
C
These
people
are
taking
taken
from
their
homes
that
some
of
them
own,
as
well
as
their
places
of
employment.
There
is
a
horrifying
separation
of
children
from
their
parents,
happening
all
over
the
country
and,
of
course,
at
the
border.
With
this
deplorable
conditions
and
at
the
last
criminal
justice
meeting
sheriff,
Johnny
gave
numbers
of
the
ice
detainees
with
no
charge
being
between
20
and
40
percent
because
it
buries
as
people
come
and
go.
Mr.
Olaf
asks
the
question
and
I
quote,
of
the
20
to
40
percent
that
are
not
criminals
coming
from.
C
Are
they
coming
from
employer
raids?
Those
aren't
just
traffic
offenses
or
anything
like
that,
and
then
the
sheriff
explained
to
you
all
that
the
ice
classifications
that
he
gets
when
from
them,
one
of
them
being
an
C,
meaning
no
charge
and
illegal
entry.
He
explained
that
coming
into
the
country
illegally
twice
was
on
automatic
deportation.
C
Then
mr.
Olaf
specifically
said
so.
That
is
what
the
twenty
to
forty
percent
is.
All
people
who
have
entered
the
country
illegally
more
than
once
and
I
think
that
may
have
been
misunderstood
as
there
are
detainees
who
are
being
deported
for
minor
traffic
offenses,
who
ice
picks
up
from
the
courthouses
or
as
well
as
undocumented
people
who
are
working
in
ice
raids,
their
places
of
employment,
I,
don't
think
sheriff.
Downey
has
any
idea
nor
authority
to
determine
who
ice
actually
sends
to
him.
C
We
have
deported
from
the
Jerome
Combes
Detention
Center,
a
veteran
who
had
served
his
country
in
Afghanistan
and
who
had
a
census.
Like
many
other
veterans,
we
have
stayed.
I
stayed
in
touch
with
Miguel
cross
his
family,
and
it
is
a
sad
sad
story.
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
it
again.
Here.
I've
mentioned
it
several
times,
but
I
digress,
because
I
want
to
speak
about
employer
raids,
as
one
happened
at
a
a
Flanders
in
moments'
about
two
weeks
old,
and
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
what
happened
in
Mississippi
last
week.
C
C
If
anyone
has
and
from
it
wants
information
is
where
I'm
getting
these
facts
I'll
be
glad
to
provide
that
to
it
all.
The
fact
is
that
we
call
these
people
illegal
and
even
fraudulent
for
working.
Normally,
reference
to
crimes
of
victims
are
related
to
violence
of
some
sort
or
a
major
financial
harms.
Hence
the
other
victims,
not
one
single
person
taking
a
low-paying
job
from
an
American
company.
C
Now
the
reference
there
to
fraud
is
true
as
far
as
it
goes,
but
that
again
goes
to
these
American
companies
who
fraudulently
hire
undocumented
workers,
and
they
do
it
over
and
over
again.
This
is
the
market
economy,
there's
a
companies
with
accountants
and
lawyers
and
executives
who
know
better
and
are
rarely
charged
nor
convicted
of
any
crimes
that
would
include
president
Trump's
hotels
and
golf
courses.
These
companies
come
back
for
more
and
more,
but
last
year
only
11
people
and
the
entire
united
states
were
prosecuted
for
hiring
undocumented
immigrants.
C
The
feds
did
not
prosecute
the
entire
corporations
or
companies
now,
and
that
is
quite
a
contrast.
8
million
to
11,
with
the
contrast.
So
if
we're
going
to
call
undocumented
low,
paying
workers
fraudulent
and
we're
going
to
sit
here
and
say
undocumented
is
undocumented,
then
we're
going
to
have
to
prosecute
the
entire
corporations,
who
continue
to
hire
the
undocumented.
The
law
is
the
law.
So
my
question
is
who's
going
to
prosecute
a
Lando's
in
moments.
C
I
wanted
to
say
that
it
is
a
politically
hot
topic,
and
yet
the
country
is
so
divided
and
my
purpose
here
is
to
bring
about
solution,
not
anymore
division.
We
have
enough
division
on
every
news
channel
on
all
over
Twitter
and
Facebook,
and
everything
and
I'm
here
as
a
Christian
actually
I
wanted
to
report
about,
highlights
magazines,
that's
for
children,
the
one
that's
and
all
the
doctors,
Peter
yes,
pediatricians
offices
and
I
wanted
to
tell
you
that
they
made
a
statement
yesterday.
C
They
do
not
wish
to
make
a
political
statement
I'm
not
wanting
to
make
a
political
statement.
I'm,
not
a
liberal
I'm,
not
a
Republican
I'm,
not
a
Democrat
I'm,
just
a
Christian,
so
I
wanted
to
say
that
I,
like
what
their
statement
was
and
it's
it
highlights.
Our
core
belief
is
that
children
are
the
world's
most
important
people
in
light
of
the
reports
of
the
living
conditions
of
detained
children
and
threats
of
further
deportation
and
family
separation.
C
Here's
a
statement
from
our
CEO
Ken
Johnson
as
a
company
that
helps
children
become
their
best
selves,
curious,
creative,
caring
and
confident.
We
want
kids
to
understand
the
importance
of
having
moral
courage,
moral
courage
means
standing
up
for
what
we
believe
is
right
and
honest
and
ethical,
even
when
it's
hard,
our
company's
core
belief
stated
each
month
in
highlights
magazine
is
that
children
are
the
world's
most
important
people.
This
is
a
belief
about
all
children
with
this
core
belief
in
our
minds
and
hearts.
C
We
denounce
the
practice
of
separating
immigrant
children
from
their
families
and
urge
our
government
to
cease
effective,
which
is
unconscionable
and
causes
irreparable
damage
to
young
lives.
This
is
not
a
political
statement
about
an
immigration
policy.
This
is
a
statement
about
human
decency,
plain
and
simple.
This
is
a
plea
for
recognition
that
these
are
not
simply
the
children
of
strangers
for
whom
others
are
accountable.
This
is
an
appeal
to
elevate
the
inalienable
right
of
all
children
to
feel
safe
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
become
their
best
selves.
C
Pineapple
and
I
give
this
information
from
undocumented
people
who
can't
go
to
the
grocery
store
in
usage
stamps
because
they
can't
get
that
kind
of
stuff.
They
come
to
food
pantries
or
places
where
identification
is
not
required
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
a
positive
note,
I
wanted
to
say.
I
would
like
to
be
looking
toward
resolutions
like
to
form
a
committee
to
work
together
to
say:
is
there
a
way
to
make
an
addendum
to
the
contract
so
that
we
don't
take
any
non-criminals
that
we
take
a
stand
in
kinky?
C
C
D
D
D
I
would
question
whether
that's
a
true
figure
or
not,
because
we
don't
have
any
offset
figures.
Most
of
you
know
if
you
run
a
business,
that
there
is
income,
but
there
are
cost
too,
and
we've
never
been
able
to
determine
the
cost
to
know
whether
this
what
the
cost
is,
what
are
the
detainees?
What
is
the
net
cost
of
detaining
people
for
eyes?
And
finally,
I
just
want
to
say
I
know,
I
appreciate
what
Kim
said
about
reaching
out
to
a
for
for
one
another.
D
She
invited
people
of
faith
or
the
faith
leaders
in
her
district
to
come
together,
and
we
were
there
and
talked
about
events
that
are
happening
in
her
district
and
Kim,
and
Dave
and
I
are
honored
to
be
invited
to
meet
with
her
next
Monday
with
the
Latino
advisory
task
force,
so
connecting
Kiki
is
reaching
out
to
try
and
bring
resolution
to
some
of
the
issues
that
we
see
as
important.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q.
A
E
E
Announced
last
time,
I
was
here
that
Gus
Regas,
our
public
defender,
was
retiring
and
that's
effective
at
the
end
of
this
month.
I
want
to
publicly
thank
mr.
Regas
for
serving
these
last
four
years.
Gus
was
able
to
ensure
that
the
essential
work
of
the
public
defender's
office
continued
during
a
time
of
serious
financial
hardship.
As
you
all
know,
and
on
behalf,
the
judges
in
Kankakee
I
want
to
publicly
thank
Gus
for
his
service.
I
announced
that
we
had
begun
a
search
for
his
replacement.
E
A
E
E
A
You
any
questions
for
the
judge.
Thank
you
very
much,
I'd
like
to
take
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda.
Mr.
legette
second
by
mr.
Bern,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Mr.
Geffner,
in
your
package,
we
have
a
copy
of
his
monthly
report
and
the
monthly
receipts
the
money
I
would
take
a
motion
to
approve
that
by
mr.
Rajesh.
Second
by
mr.
leer
comments
on
your
report,
sir.
Oh.
F
F
Real
quickly
on
our
our
OD
status,
right
now
in
the
county,
is
really
been
holding
our
ground
on
now.
We
have
16
overdose
cases
at
this
point
we're
to
down
from
from
last
year
and
but
22
down
from
the
17.
When
we
had
the
big
year,
our
average
age
has
gone
up
basically
to
43
years
of
age.
The
youngest
is
21
and
the
oldest
is
72
overdoses
and
the
other
interesting
stats
here.
The
male
is
basically
a
large
percentage
of
the
overdoses,
and
now
the
females
are
tied
with
what
the
male's
other
than
that.
F
Basically
the
drugs.
Now
that
are
out
on
the
streets,
the
heroin
is
still
out
there,
but
your
fentanyl
is
probably
the
number
one
along
with
prescription
drugs,
but
we're
seeing
a
decline.
The
only
thing
I
got
last
week,
something
about
crystal
meth
is
now
coming
back
into
our
area.
You
know
the
the
county
just
below
us
Iroquois
is
one
of
the
I
in
the
red
of
crystal
meth
right
now.
So
you
know.
Is
that
surrounded
us?
It's
gonna,
be
our
problem,
probably
soon
other
than
that
I'll
take
any
questions
that
you
have
towards
our
office.
F
F
F
A
G
Nothing
to
earn
extraordinary
this
month
collections
is
the
state's
attorney
collection.
We
aren't
really
sure
I
talked
to
Desiree
a
couple
times
about
that
report.
We
aren't
really
sure
why
last
month
was
a
dip
in
the
progress,
but
we
made
up
for
it
in
July
big
time
so
about
a
$10,000
difference.
So
that's
good
news
and
if
you
look
at
the
bold
well
below
the
bold
in
the
state's
attorney,
you
can
see
that
at
this
time
last
year
we
were
at
57,000
and
this
year
at
94
five.
G
What
happens
is
when
we
collect
money
in
our
office?
We
add
the
30%
to
whatever
that
amount
is
that
the
person
is
paying.
We
don't
have
that
tacked
on
all
you
know.
Initially,
we
just
wait
until
they
pay.
So
if
they
have
a
$50
payment
and
they
owe
three
thousand-
then
we
just
add
the
thirty
percent
to
the
$50.
And
then,
if
you
look
on
my
big
report,
the
disbursement
report
you'll
see
what
we
sent
Harris
so
this
this
last
month
we
sent
them
thirteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars
and
sixty
nine
cents.
G
So
that's
from
the
money
that
we've
collected,
then
we
add
the
30
percent
and
then
that's
their
check
now
in
the
meanwhile
they're
also
collecting
at
their
location,
and
they
send
us
a
check
too.
So
we
have
electronic
files
going
back
and
forth,
and
so
they
know
what
they
collected
and
then
they
send
us
money
and
it's
just
a
it's.
A
back
and
forth
thing
have.
G
A
G
We,
the
traffic
and
criminal
Assessment
Act,
went
into
effect,
July,
1st
and
I
think
it
went
off
pretty
much
without
too
big
of
a
hitch.
We
didn't
have
many
hiccups
along
the
way,
and
so
that's
okay,
my
staff
and
the
two
vendors
that
we
work
with
with
our
case
management
systems
with
Tyler
in
court
view
and
my
people
we
had
to
like
stop
everything
with
our
efiling
progress,
because
we
had
to
concentrate
on
getting
the
trafficking,
criminal,
Assessment,
Act
stuff,
all
lined
up.
G
So
now
that
that's
done,
they're
gonna
get
back
on
track,
so
hopefully
Paula's
been
doing
the
testing.
So
what
happens?
Is
we've
got
all
our
codes
built
into
the
case
management
system,
and
then
they
test
a
few
cases
to
see
if
everything
connects
and
then
when
they
find
out
what
isn't
working
yet
what
the
bugs
are.
Then
they
send.
You
know
the
report
back
to
that
vendor.
So
it's
been
bouncing
back
and
forth.
It's
a
long
process.
Paula
said
so.
G
A
I
This
last
grand
jury.
They
returned
52
bills.
That's
that's
about
the
most
we've
had
in
quite
some
time.
I,
don't
know
whether
that's
good
or
bad,
but
it's
probably
an
unfortunate
record,
at
least
over
the
last
couple
years,
and
you
can
see
second
again
to
possession
or
a
controlled
substance
violations.
Are
the
domestic
violence
faces.
I
Other
thing
that
I'm
entering
program
I
really
hope
that
some
of
you
will
consider
signing
up
as
mentors
you
go
to
our
website
or
just
send
me
an
email
we
will
enroll.
You
I
can't
impress
upon
you
enough.
We
need
this
program
to
work.
It's
the
only
type
of
mentoring
program
in
the
nation
that
is
geared
towards
specifically
court-involved
youth.
So
it's
a
pilot
project
of
sorts
for
AmeriCorps.
We
were
very
lucky
to
get
this
funding.
We
have
a
lot
of
kids
in
the
system.
We
need
to
get
them
mentors.
I
A
A
J
Good
morning,
sir
good
morning,
my
name
is
ed:
panic
I
work
with
many
of
you
throughout
throughout
the
course
of
the
decades
as
Jake
Chief,
Judge
Kramer,
said
I'm.
Now,
former
as
of
September
1st
I'll,
be
the
chief
public
defender
of
Kankakee
County
I,
anticipate
many
changes
within
my
office
and
many
requests
in
the
future.
Today,
I'm
just
enjoying
the
moment,
I
got
the
word
yesterday.
I
do
look
forward
to
working
with
mr.
roe
regarding
all
the
issues
that
pertained
to
the
criminal
justice
system
within
our
County.
J
I
A
K
Good
morning,
just
the
report,
as
you
can
see
just
nothing
out
unusual,
we
had
20
over
2500
successful
contacts
last
month,
giving
us
about
17,500
year-to-date,
45
investigations
and
265
drug
tests,
and
the
only
stat.
That's
a
little
stands
out
to
me
is
there's
only
three
in
custody
at
River
Valley
right
now,
that's
a
little
bit
lower
than
normal,
but
any
questions
on
that.
K
Just
two
quick
things:
the
I
took
both
them.
I
talked
about
last
month.
Our
allocation
from
the
state
I
said
was
increasing.
We
received
that
last
week.
It
did
increase
about
three
hundred
thirty
thousand
three
hundred
twenty-nine
thousand
dollars
for
our
current
reimbursement
of
our
current
staffing
level.
All
right,
so
it's
not
tied
to
ditional
positions,
there's
also
the
pre-trial
positions
that
are
out
there.
That
was
hoping
to
hear
about
by
now
three
to
four
fully
funded
positions.
We
could
get
from
the
state
to
start
our
pretrial
program.
K
We
have
that
program,
ready
we're
ready
to
go
soon
as
we
get.
The
word
obviously
have
some
means
we
have
to
have
with
the
judges
with
with
Jim,
with
the
corrections
to
get
it
going,
but
hopefully
they'll
be
up
and
running
and
I'll
keep
you
posted
the
state
we're
about
a
month
and
a
half
into
the
state
fiscal
year.
So
I'm
hoping
hear
something
real,
quick.
A
L
Morning,
first,
a
couple
things:
first
of
all,
ed,
congratulations,
I
know
that
we've
both
been
with
the
county
quite
a
while,
and
we
work
together
a
long
long
time.
I
hope
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
him
when
you
do
get
to
know
him.
It's
on
a
personal
level,
not
on
a
professional
level
that
he's
representing
you
so
especially
now
as
a
public
defender.
One
other
quick
thing.
I
know.
Mr.
C
Roy
mentioned
that
yesterday
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
it
that
school
is
starting.
L
Now
there
are
a
number
of
schools,
starting
mostly
next
week.
There
are
a
couple
starting
this
week,
but
school
buses
will
be
out.
Kids
will
be
out
some
excited
to
go
to
school,
some
not
so
excited.
Most
of
the
parents
will
be
very
excited
that
their
kids
are
in
school
and
there
will
also
be
new
drivers.
L
And
you
know-
and
people
don't
realize
this,
but
when
you
are
convicted
of
passing
a
school
bus
with
a
stop
arm
out
and
you
and
there's
a
conviction,
there
is
an
automatic
three-month
suspension
of
your
driver's
license.
So
the
penalties,
some
would
think,
are
severe.
I,
really
don't
think
they're
that
severe
I
think
they
should
be
more.
But
as
it
is
now,
it's
three
months
suspension
your
driver's
license,
which
makes
it
awfully
hard
to
get
to
work.
L
Back
in
2017,
we
averaged
156
US
Marshal
inmates
back
in
2017
we
averaged
113
ice
detainees
and
back
in
2017
we
averaged
233
local
inmates
in
2018
those
numbers
increase.
The
u.s.
marshals
went
from
156
on
average
and
remember
these
are
averages
from
156
to
190
ice
detainees
increased
from
113
on
average
to
156
on
average
and
locally
we
increased
from
233
to
255,
so
neither
needless
to
say,
the
numbers
of
inmates
and
detainees
that
we
have
next
door
increased
substantially
between
2017
and
2018
in
2019.
L
Currently
we
are
averaging
227
US
Marshal
inmates,
so
that's
a
significant
increase.
Over
the
last
three
years,
our
ice
detainees
have
actually
dropped
from
156
to
151.
On
average,
in
2019
and
locally
we
went
from
255
to
267
local
inmates.
So
all
the
numbers
are
seem
to
be
increasing,
with
the
exception
of
ice
and
again
that's
just
a
number
of
of
who
is
who
is
coming
here
and
so
our
numbers.
You
know,
that's
that's
something
that
Chicago
decides
questions
on
those
numbers.
L
Our
transports
I
want
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
information.
We
talked
about
transports
all
the
time
because
obviously
vehicles
are
important
for
us
being
able
to
do
our
job.
Most
importantly,
we
want
to
keep
our
staff
and
those
inmates
and
detainees
that
are
transported
in
those
vehicles
safe
in
our
budget.
L
We
budget
nothing
for
vehicle,
fuel
and
I
know
that
sounds
crazy
because,
obviously
with
a
number
of
transports-
and
if
you
look
on
your
report-
you'll
see
that
there
there
are
well
over
a
thousand
transports
that
we
do
so
far
through
July,
but
we
budget
nothing
for
fuel.
Our
reimbursement
from
the
feds
are
expensive.
So
far,
four
transports
has
been
twenty
two
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
six
dollars
and
sixty
eight
cents.
L
Our
reimbursement
for
mileage,
which
is
reimbursed
by
the
feds,
is
forty,
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
and
seventy
six.
So
we
actually
have
been
reimbursed
more
in
fuel
than
we've
spent.
So
that's
by
about
twenty
six
thousand
dollars
and
project
it
out.
That
number
will
probably
be
somewhere
around
forty
five
thousand
dollars
at
the
end
of
the
year.
So,
just
to
keep
you
aware
in
case
somebody
looks
at
our
budget
and
says:
well,
there's
nothing
in
there
for
trim
for
fuel
and
why
is
there
a
positive
number?
That's
why
questions
on
that.
L
I'm
a
sworn
side,
the
glaring
number
for
me
is
our
fatal
accidents
out
on
the
roadways
understand
that
these
fatals
are
not
all
on
county
roads.
However,
they
are
within
the
county
through
July
of
2018.
Last
year
we
had
nine
total
through
july
2019.
We
had
10,
we
have
10
so
we're.
Actually
we
are
actually
more
than
last
year
at
this
time.
The
unfortunate
part
is,
there
have
been
two
fatals
so
far
in
August,
and
this
is
what
the
12th
or
13th
14th
and
we've
already
had
to
this
this
month.
L
L
Questions
on
that
and
I
know.
I
talked
a
lot
about
inspections
because
we
are
inspected
a
lot
and
credit
to
our
correction
staff
for
going
through
these,
because
they
are
not
easy
and
I
know
that.
Unfortunately,
when
you
have
high
profile
things
that
happen,
regardless
of
where
they're
at
sometimes
whatever
agency
that
happens
to
whether
it's
police
or
corrections,
it
gives
those
agencies
all
agencies
in
law
enforcement,
a
black
eye
and
I'm,
referring
to
what
happened
out
in
New
York,
with
the
suicide
of
this
pervert.
L
We
do
have
an
inspection
coming
up
in
September
from
the
National
Commission
on
correctional
health
care,
which
is
truthfully
the
gold
standard
in
health
care
in
Corrections,
and
we
have
been
accredited
for
I
believe
six
years
maybe
longer,
and
we
continue
to
do
that
every
three
years
they
come
back
in
and
inspect
us
again
and
make
sure
we're
doing
what
we
do
and
make
sure
we're
doing
it
right.
So
not
only
our
correctional
staff
does
a
great
job.
Our
medical
staff
in
Corrections
does
a
great
job
as
well
providing
quality
of
care.
L
L
L
No
I
know
that,
but
but
I
mean
they're
they're,
obviously
falling
back
on
that.
As
as
an
issue
do
do
we
have
overtime
issue
sure,
because
we
can't
we
have
no,
we
have
no
control
over
when
somebody
goes
to
the
hospital
and
we
have
to
sit
at
the
hospital
with
him.
Well,
that
takes
an
officer
out
of
our
Jail
over
the
hospital.
Well,
somebody
has
to
be
at
the
jail
in
the
hospital.
So
it's
while
we
try
and
control
it
as
much
as
we
can.
L
We
work
at
the
state's
attorney's
office
to
you
know
if,
if
somebody
is
admitted
to
the
hospital
with
a
non-violent
offense,
we
are
always
attempting
to
see
if
we
can't
obtain,
what's
called
a
recognizance
bond
to
let
those
individuals
out
so
that
we
don't
have
to
sit
over
there
and
limit
some
overtime,
but
that
always
doesn't
work.
I
appreciate
the
question.
It's
a
great
question,
because
it
is
it's
a
it's
an
issue
everywhere.
L
L
A
L
The
ever
popular
vehicle
request,
so
we
have
done
a
great
job
in
this
board
and
the
report
that
the
Chairman
gave
yesterday
regarding
the
finances
of
the
county
can
be
taken
no
other
way
than
positive
and
that's
a
credit
not
only
to
this
board
but
to
all
the
department
heads
all
the
employees
in
the
county
that
are
working
because
all
the
employees
know
the
issues
I
mean
we've
known
it.
When
we
were
going
through
difficult
times,
they
knew
it,
and
you
know
they
still
did
their
job.
L
They
still
did
what
they
had
to
do
to
get
the
job
done,
not
only
in
our
department
but
hadn't
been
in
everybody's
department,
everybody
was
short
and
everybody
stepped
up
and
we're
still
short.
We
all
know
that,
but
everybody
has
stepped
up
and-
and
we
continue
to
move
forward
and
again
it's
a
credit
to
this
board.
That
has
been
fiscally
responsible
and
you
know.
We
hope
that
you
know
that
trend
continues,
at
least
on
our
end,
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
make
sure
that
that
we
that
we
help
we
have.
L
L
A
L
Buy
11
vehicles
in
year
2
we
buy
11
vehicles
in
year,
3
and
in
year
4.
We
start
that
cycle
over
and
buy
11
vehicles,
trade
in
the
first
11
the
following
year
by
11
vehicles,
trade
in
the
11,
the
trade-in
value
is
more
the
equipment,
more
than
likely
we'll
be
able
to
transfer
in
to
some
other
vehicles.
Because
I,
don't
know
these
car
companies
like
to
make
money,
and
sometimes
they
change
the
design
and
we
end
up
having
to
buy
other
equipment
and-
and
you
know,
it's
kind
of
a
vicious
cycle.
L
Obviously,
when
when
finances
get
tight,
the
first
thing
to
go
is
that
major
purchase
of
vehicles-
and
it's
certainly
understandable
and
and
very
understandable
in
the
last
you
know
in
in
13
14
15.
When
things
were,
you
know
we
were
hoping
to
pay
people,
let
alone
you
know,
have
a
car
to
patrol
in.
So
we
certainly
understood
it.
We
have
done
some
things
now
we're
in
2017,
we
purchased
11
Tahoe's
and
we
replaced
cars
that
were
purchased
back
in
2011.
L
We
then
waited
a
year.
We
purchased
vehicles
in
2019
and
traded
in
cars
from
2012
and
now
I'm,
asking
that
we
purchase
11,
Tahoe's
and
replace
the
2013.
All
of
these
cars
are
out
of
warranty.
We
have
spent
so
far
this
year,
I
believe
we
have
spent
over
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
in
maintenance
on
vehicles
and
one
of
the
advantages
to
these
vehicles
and
the
purchase
of
them.
There
is
a
five
year,
100,000
mile
warranty
on
them,
bumper
to
bumper.
L
We
have
a
number
of
investigators,
cars
that
have
well
over
130
140
thousand
miles
on
them,
and
we
would
like
to
replace
them
as
well.
Now.
The
good
news
is
the
for
some
reason:
Chrysler
Fiat
I
think
is
the
actual
name
of
the
company
is
trying
to
increase
their
police
presence
and
Tahoe
is
normally
for
us
ranged
about
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
before
the
equipment
comes
and
the
equipment
I
mean
cages,
and
things
like
that.
These
dodge
trucks
are
ten
thousand
dollars
less
each
and
would
be
very
beneficial
for
our
investigators.
L
Eleven
Tahoes
and
seven
Dodge
trucks
for
our
investigators
and
to
actually
set
five
for
our
investigators
to
four
Metro.
As
most
of
you
know,
we
do
contract
or
we
don't
contract.
We
we
have
an
agreement
with
Metro
Metro,
actually
pays
for
officer,
salary
and
benefits
every
year
to
officers
that
the
county
doesn't
pay
for.
So
those
cars.
One
of
the
cars
has
160,000
miles
on
it.
Unfortunately
Metro.
While
they
pay
for
our
salaries,
they
cannot
purchase
vehicles.
Anything
Metro
can
buy
our
buses,
so
they
cannot
buy
a
squad
car
for
us
to
patrol
in.
A
L
So
the
other
issue
that
we
have
in,
although
maintenance
is
you
know,
is
budgeted
used
to
be
under
our
budget,
is
now
under
the
county's
separate
budget
with
the
Chairman
they
didn't.
They
do
not
have
a
truck
and
there
are
many
times
where
they
need
a
truck
and
a
credit
to
Wes
Wes
is
using
his
own
truck
for
County
business.
L
Now
that
runs
into
some
problems,
liability,
wise,
you
know,
mileage,
wise
and
I,
don't
know
you
know
all
the
ins
and
outs
of
liability
but
I'm
sure
if,
if
we're
hauling
something
in
Wes,
something
happens
to
that
or
something
happens
at
the
truck
somebody's
gonna
be
liable
for
that.
More
than
likely
us
so
and
then,
and
then.
Lastly,
for
maintenance,
a
there
is
a
dodge.
These
Dodge
trucks
are
1500s.
L
L
So
we
are
looking
to,
and-
and
these
are,
these
are
issues
that
you
know
with
vehicles
will
between
the
Dodge
trucks,
for
our
investigators
in
Metro.
These
are
these
are
trucks
that
will
last
us
a
significant
period
of
time,
yeah
five-year
hundred
thousand
miles
so
everybody's
sitting
down,
so
I
can
read
this
number,
so
all
told
and
again
this.
This
also
includes
some
equipment,
which
is
normal.
We
have
to
do
anyway
and,
as
I
said
before,
sometimes
the
design
changes
and
the
equipment
changes.
M
L
L
N
Sure
you
only
need
eleven
how
about
22
no
I'm
just
kidding
the
we
had
talked
about
this
in
the
in
the
past.
I
knew
the
sheriff
was
gonna.
Give
us
those
numbers
I
wanted
to
to.
Let
the
board
know
that
the
intent
was
is
when
we
get
a
final
decision
and
what
we're
gonna
do
is
to
have
this
come
out
of
the
capital
budget.
N
Okay,
in
the
past,
it's
it's
we've
absorbed
in
different
places,
but
and
we'll
have
it
come
out
of
capital
and
then
we've
never
had
the
equipment
come
out
of
there
as
well.
That
has
been
something
that
has
come
out
of
the
sheriff's
budget
on
his
own
on
their
own,
so
we
would
never
really
truly
realize
exactly
what
we
were
spending
until
much
after
the
fact.
If
he
had
to
dig
through
the
line
items
you
know
so
that
was
part
of
the
intent.
N
A
N
Right,
well,
no
it's
to
get
to
get
over
the
true
value
out
of
the
out
of
the
vehicle
if
you're
trading
it
in
after
three
three
years,
if
we
get
back
on
this
cycle,
its
exponential,
what
you
get
out
of
it
at
the
auction,
so
that
revenue
will
go
to
a
revenue
line,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
and
then
the
next
time
this
happening,
you
say
yeah!
Well,
it
worked
we're
able
to
get
more
money
out
of
it.
It's
less!
We
have
to
spend
next
time.
That's
the
value
of
getting
on
this
program.
N
L
N
A
A
M
N
What
one
other
thing,
if
I,
could,
mr.
chairman
I,
know
it's
more
for
building
and
grounds,
but
we
had
talked
about
the
problems
we've
had
with
the
snowplows
in
the
past.
I
know:
if
everybody
remembers,
those
was
the
trucks
were
breaking
down
and
you
know
it's.
It
is
a
problem.
So
that's
not
just
like
hey,
let's
go,
buy
a
truck
for
maintenance
and
we've
got
the
liability
issue,
but
we
did
have
serious
issues
with
the
plow
breaking
down
in
the
past,
so
that
becomes
a
problem
when
you
need
it.
So
it's
that's.
A
L
More
thing
it
was
quick,
so
if
you
recall,
the
county
board
unanimously
voted
to
rename
this
building
the
Timothy
epic
Kowski
Public
Safety
Center.
Well,
we
are
sending
out
it's
been
on.
It
was
on
our
failure.
We
put
it
out
yesterday
the
date
for
that
is
August
29th
at
10:00
a.m.
right
