Thank
You
Jeremy
good
morning,
everyone,
it's,
it's
rare-
that
I
attend
your
meetings,
because
it's
rare
that
something
is
out
of
the
ordinary
at
the
courthouse
things
kind
of
go
along
on
their
own
way
and
if
I
don't
have
anything
out
of
the
ordinary
to
talk
about
I
I'm,
usually
not
here
to
report
today.
I
have
a
really
good
thing
to
talk
about.
You
heard
about
it.
Yesterday,
the
veteran's
treatment
Court
that
our
County
has
has
been
certified
by
our
state
was
the
first
certification
of
a
veteran's
treatment
Court
in
the
state.
D
We're
very
proud
of
that.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
have
a
graduation
tomorrow.
You
have
two
veterans
that
are
graduating
from
our
program
and
we
always
like
to
see
that
county
board
members
that
can
come
be
there
and
support
them.
They've
been
through
a
lot
and
they
deserve
our
support.
So
we're
very
proud
about
our
veteran's
treatment.
Court
I'm,
really
here
to
talk
about
something
that
we've
observed
very
recently.
That
has
me
concerned
and
I
wanted
to
start
a
conversation
about
it,
and
that
is
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
our
criminal
case
load.
D
D
They
have
the
resources
in
line
to
do
that,
but
that
affects
our
system
and
a
lot
of
that
falls
on
sandy
see
on
see
our
clerk,
but
the
greatest
impact
is
on
our
public
defender's
office,
and
we
had
a
situation
yesterday,
where
the
judges
have
rearranged
their
workloads
to
be
able
to
hear
cases
dear
jury
cases,
we
have
judges
on
standby.
We
have
judges
that
have
stepped
up
to
meet
this.
This
new
demand,
it's
not
a
problem
with
the
judges.
The
bottleneck
is
with
the
public
defender's
office.
D
We
had,
we
had
a
case
assigned
to
judge
Eliot
ready
to
go
yesterday
involving
a
public
defender
assigned
to
that
case.
We
also
had
a
case
in
judge
Erickson's
courtroom
ready
to
go
state's
attorneys
ready
to
go,
but
it's
the
same
public
defender
that
it's
got
to
be
in
two
places.
At
the
same
time,
they
don't
have
the
manpower
that
the
State's
Attorney's
Office
does
so
that
that
case
doesn't
get
to
go
I'm
talking
about
cases
but
I'm
really
talking
about
his
people.
D
This
is
something
that's
going
to
happen
over
and
over
as
this
increased
caseload.
It's
our
system.
We
need
to
address.
This
I
talked
to
our
chairman
wheeler
this
morning
about
starting
a
conversation
about
how
we
can
address
this,
but
it
needs
to
be
addressed
immediately.
It's
gotten
me
very
concerned,
which
is
why
I'm
here
this
morning
and
you
can
ask
more
questions
of
public
defender
Gus
Regas
this
morning,
but
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
addressed
and
that's
why
I'm
here.
Thank
you.
D
A
E
Morning,
so
the
regular
report
is
nothing
unusual,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
questions
on
that.
Mr.
Duda,
it's
it's
just
so
you
know
what
it's
a
distribution
report
of
everything
that
we've
collected
and
then
dispersed
to
all
these
different
funds.
So
every
line
item
I'm
here
is
a
fund
that
the
money
was
collected
on
and
sent
forward.
E
E
E
E
It
was
a
little
slower
because
the
last
couple
months,
because
we've
done
a
couple
of
other,
the
state's
attorney's
office-
has
done
a
couple
of
other
types
of
collections
and
I
got
the
report
from
their
office
with
the
court
call
that
we've
had
there
we've
collected
an
extra
around
sixty
thousand
dollars
and
then
Harris
is
also
doing
wage
garnishment
court
calls
I
think
they
only
had
two
right
now
so
they're
still
getting
that
ball.
Rolling
I.
E
Then,
last
year
the
I
drop
cases
are
still
moving
forward
to
I
drop
is
Illinois
debt
recovery
program
through
the
comptroller's
office
in
the
state
of
Illinois,
and
what
we
do
is
in
conjunction
with
Harris
and
Harris.
We
send
files
to
them.
They
take
a
section
of
files
and
send
them
off
to
the
comptroller's
office.
They
are
able
to
collect
the
state
income
tax
returns
and
that's
how
we
get
our
money.
We
just
pull
them
right
in.
E
E
E
So
what
happens?
Is
law
firms
are
emailing
well
technically,
emailing
they're
loading
it
up
and
we
collect
it
through
Tylar
technology,
which
the
program
that
we
have
is
Odyssey,
so
we've
been
collecting
new
case
new
cases
and
then
other
case
filings
for
those
two
designations
right
now,
while
we
can
train
the
three
or
four
people
that
are
going
to
be
doing
that
this
week
we
had
one
case
that
they
sent.
It
was
a
500
page
document
and
we
have
to
print
those
500
pages
off
and
put
them
in
a
file.
E
No,
it's
no
there's
no
fee.
No
there's
no
fee
well
because
eventually
I
mean
that's
the
way
we're
going
to
have
to
accept
it.
So
and
then
the
other
thing
are
the
private
Process
Servers
I'm
gonna
have
to
break
it
gently
to
them
to
that
they're
gonna
have
to
start
be
filing
their
responses
as
well.
We
have
a
couple
of
them
that
just
you
know
they
come
in
and
they
hand
us
the
paperwork
and
we
process
it
like
normal,
but
eventually
they're
going
to
have
to
file
it
as
well.
E
So
it's
it's
a
big
learning
curve,
but
we
have
two
that
are
doing
it
pretty
well
right
now
and
we're
trying
to
train
the
other
two.
We
have
a
brand
new
person
in
the
main
office,
so
we
can't
throw
too
much
at
her
because
you
know
you
just
never
know
when
you
walk
up
to
the
counter.
It's
like
Russian
Roulette,
you
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
they're
the
customers
going
to
mean
and
the
training
is,
is
difficult,
so
we're
getting
there,
though,.
A
F
F
F
G
G
E
G
B
G
A
H
Oh
mr.
doodle
we'd,
at
a
few
months
ago,
we
had
a
presentation
with
some
numbers
that
Harris
and
Harris
had
provided
and
I
think
what
was
it
sandy?
Maybe
like
eight
million
of
that
26
was
actually
collectable.
A
lot
of
it
was
beyond
the
statute
limitations
for
us
to
go
in
and
sue
over
it.
Some
of
the
people
were
dead,
some
of
them
are
incarcerated
for
life,
and
those
are
the
ones
that
one
gentleman
I
think
goes
close
to
half
a
million
or
a
million
dollars
at
that
26
million.
G
A
I
Every
week
we
want
to
maintain
those
standards
of
professionalism.
The
American,
Bar
Association
sets
those
standards
I'm
very
aware
of
what
those
standards
are.
You
know.
I've
worked
at
the
courthouse
and
the
criminal
justice
system
for
40
years.
I
worked
in
every
area:
that's
up
there
as
an
investigator,
a
traffic
court
felony
misdemeanors
juveniles
and
these
American
Bar
Association
standards
very
on
point
and
they're
written
by
people
who
studied
the
situation,
and
they
I
feel
that
they
are
very
aware
of.
I
I
So
on
top
of
that,
the
state's
attorney,
also
his
manpower,
has
been
reinforced
by
four
new
full-time
prosecutors
and
an
investigator
so
I'm
having
difficulty
in
the
respect
that
my
office
is
faced
with
twice
the
caseload
and
against
the
state's
attorney's
office.
That's
been
reinforced.
I
feel
that
you
know
we
need
to
do
something
and
it
should
be
done
quickly.
I've
I've
met
with
judge,
Erickson
and
judge
Elliot
who
handled
the
criminal
call
and
I've
met
with
judge
Cramer.
We've
talked
about
this
in
great
detail.
I
I
I
I
I
J
Think
we
should
talk
about
it
here.
Okay,
first
and
ask
as
many
questions
is.
The
committee
feels
appropriate.
This
is
a
justified,
a
financial
issue
predominantly
it
is,
but
there's
other
things
to
consider.
I
did
have
some
questions.
What
one
of
the
criminal
calls
are
they
all
in
the
morning
is
there
in
the
afternoon
or
are
they
predominantly
in
one
side
of
the
week
I'm
trying
to
get
my
head
around,
though
the
way
this
is.
I
What
courtroom
you're
talking
about
every
day
we
have
the
criminal
call
in
the
morning
every
afternoon
we
have
a
criminal
call
with
the
1:30
custody
call
just
about
every
other
week.
We
have
a
jury
calendar
where
we
do
jury
cases
on
the
weeks
that
we
don't
have
jury
trials,
we're
doing
bench
trials
and
that's
just
the
criminal
call
juvenile
court
Monday
Tuesday
Thursday.
We
handle
nothing
but
juvenile
cases
and
the
demand
there
is
increasing.
As
mr.
I
I
J
Have
you
seen
I'm,
not
questioning
that
I
just
want
to
get
my
head
around
what
this?
What
the
call
sketch
shows
the
have
you
seen
a
decrease
in
the
juvenile
cases
since
the
city
of
Kankakee
disbanded
their
juvenile
crimes
task
force,
not
really
no
I
haven't
seen
it.
I've
been
told
that
there
was
a
severe
drop
in
the
arrests.
I
J
I
I
J
Because
that
you
know
and
I
think
we
have
talked
in
the
past
and
you
look
at
the
number
of
part-time
that
we
have
I-
think
it
would
make
a
lot
of
sense
for
us
to
balance
what
a
heavy
full-time
pd's
in
general
and
looking
at
the
cost
of
that
versus
what
we
get
out
of
that
because,
like
in
the
case
of
one
employee,
it's
an
IR
MRF.
We
can
only
work
what
600
hours
a
year.
J
I
L
J
Know
half
time
and
that's
eaten
up
a
lot.
Just
you
know,
just
in
meeting
Jilly
are
you're
carving
out
five
minute.
You
know
Billings.
If
you
will
time
allotment,
so
I
think
that
if
we
can
devise
a
system
to
address
what
full-time
PDS
would
cost
versus
what
you
get
out
of
it
and
then
supported
by
this.
That
might
be
like
a
parallel
discussion
to
have
and
I.
Don't
know
how
the
committee
feels
about
that.
I
I
I
I
I
But
overall
I
can
only
expect
15
to
20
hours
a
week
out
of
a
part-time
public
defender
and
to
me
that
that
is
a
bargain
okay,
because
that
is
getting
a
lawyer
for
about
$30
an
hour,
an
experienced
lawyer.
If
you
look
at
other
counties
that
compared
to
Kankakee
County
Mason
County
Kendall,
County,
LaSalle,
County
they're,
all
inferences
Tazewell,
County
Tazewell,
it's
just
like
our
population.
I
We
have
a
per
capita
income
that
it's
much
lower
than
theirs,
there's
difference
in
demographics
between
the
two
counties,
but
they
have
three
full-time
public
defenders
and
they
have
ten
part-time
public
defenders,
so
they
operate
basically
on
the
same
system
as
we
do
and
to
me,
I
can
get
much
more
qualified
people
when
I
have
a
position
for
a
part-time,
but
I
I
am
willing
to
hire
a
full-time
public
defender,
but
I
want
to
send
out
applications
and
see
what
what
kind
of
people
I'm
gonna
get
that
wants
a
job.
It.
I
I,
don't
think
I
think
I
could
get
by
fine
somebody
full-time
for
65,000,
then
I.
This
whole
package
would
cost
one
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
I
would
need
a
full-time
public
defender
or
full-time
for
65
part-time
for
35
I
need
an
investigator
for
35
thousand
a
year
and
a
secretary
for
25
plus
the
benefits
you
insurance
and
mr.
F
Thank
You
chairman
I,
like
to
make
things
simple
for
some
reason,
but
what
what
did
it
cost
us
for
this
gentleman
to
have
to
sit
in
jail
again
for
three
months,
because
you
couldn't
take
care
of
them
the
other
day?
Those
type
of
things
I
need
to
know,
because
we
could
save
money
just
by
hiring
somebody
so
that
he
doesn't
have
to
sit
in
jail
for
3
months.
So
is
there
any
way
of
figuring
out?
What's
it
what's
it
costing
us,
then
it's
easier
for
me
to
spend
money
just
to
save
some.
You.
I
C
You
before
I
can
make
a
qualitative
or
even
a
quality,
I
guess
a
quantitative
decision.
As
far
as
numbers
are
concerned
and
I
know,
you
threw
a
hypothetical
number
at
about
160,000,
but
I
do
definitely
want
to
be
a
little
bit
more
definitive
in
that
I
before
I
recommend
anything
to
a
Finance
Committee.
That
I
had
something
before
me,
where
I
can
look
at
that
cause
justify
the
cost,
knowing
that
this
is
the
cost,
because
initially,
in
the
beginning,
the
cost
our
staff
at
that
pilot
rate.
C
C
Looking
at
based
upon
your
estimation
about
$30
outside
of
birds
and
yourself,
if
I'm
looking
at
the
other
11
you're
telling
me
that
it's
about
three
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
an
hour
to
basically
imploringly
these
individuals,
which
is
certainly
under
well
under
what
you
would
pay
for
one
criminal
case,
because
the
moment
you
walk
in
the
doors
10,000
and
they
say
your
freedom
will
cost
you.
So
as
a
result,
I
get
the
you
know,
I
feel
the
pain,
but
I
also
need
to
know.
C
If
there's
been
any
like
to
assistance
of
counsel,
complaints
and
I'm
sure
you're
gonna
get
a
bunch
of
those.
But
if
we
qualify,
we
reduce
those
down
to
numbers
so
that
we
can
see
the
justification
of
everything.
I
think
we'll
have
a
more
clearer
view
of
what
we're
basically
asking
for
and
and
I'll
be
more
inclined
to
basically
push
your
agenda,
because
I
do
think
that
it's
a
well-deserving.
That's
why
that's
concerned
so,
but
before
we
can
move
it
on
I
know
and
not
to
belabor.
C
I
believe
that
we
need
to
have
something
on
paper
by.
You
know
the
next
meeting
so
that
we
can
at
least
look
at
the
data
and
your
research
or
whatever
that
justifies
basically
what
you
need,
the
cost
of
what
you
need
and
then
I
can
now
move
it
to
the
Finance
Committee
or
the
board
can
move
to
the
Finance
Committee
with
some
type
of
data
and
to
look
at
if
that
makes
sense.
I
There
has
been
no
public
defender,
that's
received
a
raise,
actually,
their
salaries
have
been
caught
in
some
respects.
I
think
the
last
cut
was
like
10%
and
we
used
to
get
$300
a
month
to
assess
the
part-time
public
defenders
to
pay
for
some
of
their
office
expenses
that
has
been
abolished
so
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
planning
on
those
figures
escalating
or
increase
over
over
the
years.
I
think
you
know,
based
in
our
financial
considerations
in
King
and
Catania.
That's
going
to
be.
You
know
if
you
accept
that
job.
That's
your
big.
I
J
J
J
Everybody,
if
I
counted
everybody
on
this
list
and
I
just
used
a
flat
ten
thousand,
even
though
it's
more
because
I
don't
know,
who's
got
family
who
doesn't.
But
if
you
add
that
number
into
that
as
well,
so
do
we
offer
people
who
are
making
a
decent
clip
of
money,
a
cookie
that
with
that
size,
you
know,
because
that
that
is
something
that
I
think.
We
need
to
consider.
J
That's
that
hundred
and
ten
would
go
a
long
way,
and
maybe
we
say
some
things
like
well,
maybe
it's
2575
we
paid
25
in
the
employee,
pays
75.
We
give
them
that
access.
If
we
start
to
flip
it
around
a
little
bit,
it
starts
to
make
a
little
bit
more
sense
to
me.
You
know
if
you,
if
you
could
three
part-timers
instead
of
the
full
timer
that
really
alleviates
so
much
stress
from
the
courtroom.
J
I
Just
take
you
know,
for
instance,
so
many
of
my
attorneys
are
involved
in
trials.
Look
at
Frank,
astrology,
okay,
he's
one
of
the
more
recent
hires.
So
far
this
year,
he's
done
one
murder,
trial,
I,
think
an
armed
robbery
trial
and
these
are
jury
trials
and
he
is,
he
and
I
are
preparing
to
start
the
another
murder
trial.
With
regard
to
the
fire
that
happened
on
Station,
Street
I
think
I
have
a
grasp
for
this.
Mr.
I
K
Do
you
have
contacts
or
have
knowledge
of
local
law,
schools
or
not-to-distant
law
schools
where
you
can
maybe
get
some
readout
as
to
what
the
students
student
classes
is
turning
out?
Because
if
you
can,
you
can
contact
the
schools
and
find
out
they
say
the
level
of
enthusiasm
with
those
graduating
students.
Their
enthusiasm
should
carry
over,
at
least
for
the
first
year
more
for
you
to
have
Apple
abilities
to
deal
with
your
new
cases,
but
it
I
think
it
would
be
wise
to
make
some
contact
with.
I
K
K
I
Understand
what
you're
saying
mr.
Snipes
you
get
on
something
that
that
we
all
cringe
yeah,
that's
called
IEC,
ineffective
assistance
of
counsel.
Okay,
I've
been
the
public
defender
for
two
years.
We
haven't
had
any
cases
of
ineffective
assistance.
Okay,
there
have
been
some
claims,
but
I
feel
that
they
were
flames.
So
that's
really
fortunate.
I
G
Thank
you,
this
being
my
first
meeting,
I
guess:
I
have
some
questions.
You're
asking
for
these
positions.
I
understand
that
it's
clear
to
me.
The
felonies
have
doubled
something's
just
keep
in
perspective.
You
know
in
the
hospital
world
we
cycle
into
the
flu
season
and
every
nurse
and
doctor
who
works
in
a
hospital
118
hundred
more
people,
because.
N
G
All
live
on
that
day,
that's
a
crisis.
Kind
of
things
are-
and
we
remember
that
is
this:
a
surge
I
mean
we
have
a
new
state's
attorney,
who
is
doing
his
job
and
the
department's
doing
their
job.
Is
this
a
surge,
and
is
this
going
to
mediate
itself
after
this
blood?
So
that's
one
question
the
second
question:
I,
don't
know
the
financial
way
that
all
of
this
works,
but
I'm
assuming
this
was
never
budgeted
in
the
upcoming
year.
G
This
is
asking
for
none
budgeted
people-
yes,
sir,
and
if
it
truly
is
a
surge
to
hire
full-time
people
and
then
have
to
go
terminate
them.
When
you
know
the
dollars,
aren't
there
I
kind
of
like
the
part-time?
If
we're
even
better.
Consider
this
but
I
think
we
need
more
data.
I
agree
with
mr.
Snipes
I.
Don't
want
one
public
defender
having
two
cases
at
the
same
time.
That's
egregious
how
many
times
does
that
happen?
You
send
out
a
lot
but
I
write.
That's
something
you
should
we
track
as
part
of
your
your
numbers,
yeah.
I
This
isn't
a
surge
I
keep
you
know
records
from
from
previous
years.
In
2014,
the
public
defender's
office
handles
460
felonies
in
2015
at
Rose
to
592
in
2016
637,
and
this
year
2017
will
probably
be
over
700.
Do
you
think
mister
Oh
over
700
felony?
So
this
is
this?
Is
you
know
not
a
surge?
This
is
a
pattern,
a
trend.
M
I
I
Last
person
is
doing
post.
Conviction,
cases
appeals
okay,
so
in
those
courtrooms,
300
and
309,
which
are
criminal
cases,
the
felonies
and
misdemeanors,
we
have
nine
public
defenders.
Okay,
the
American
Bar
Association
recommends
that
public
defenders
should
do
75
felonies
a
year
or
200
misdemeanors.
Okay,
I
can
show
you
from
the
statistics
that
I'm
keeping
that
the
majority
of
those
nine
people
in
our
criminal
courtrooms
will
handle
80
or
more
felony
cases,
plus
an
additional
hundred
misdemeanors,
so
I
mean
we're
over
the
recommended
limits
of
an
excessive
caseload,
but
I
feel
we
get.
I
We
can
handle
it.
Okay,
I
complained
every
time.
I
come
here
that
were
underpaid
overworked.
It's
a
demanding,
difficult
job,
thankless
job
being
a
public
defender,
we're
always
trying
to
fight
that.
Hopefully,
that
bad
misconception
that
were
overworked
and
we
don't
care
okay,
but
what
I'm
facing
now?
It's
it's
it's
a
situation
where
I
don't
see
relief
from
it.
I
H
J
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
timeframe
allotted
is
within
what
I
think
judge
Cramer
was
asking
I,
don't
think
he
was
asking
for
us
to
wait
a
month
and
make
a
decision
to
make
a
decision
to
make
a
recommendation,
I
hate
to
say,
like
that:
I
think
they
were
there.
We
have
a
critical
situation
from
the
judge's
viewpoint
and
I,
don't
know
if
mr.
Rowe
agrees
it
sounds
like
Gus
agrees.
I
think
the
committee
agrees.
Yes,
it
sounds
like
I
think
there's
a
great
amount
of
concern
here.
J
My
concern
is
as
where
does
the
money
come
from
because
it
doesn't
exist
and,
and
we're
gonna
start
to
go
into
the
to
the
negative
again
here,
because
we've,
you
know
after
we've
got
our
last
disbursement.
January
things
get
tight
again,
okay,
so
any
money
we
spend
now
is
less
money
that
we
have
in
January.
The
people
in
finance
know
this,
but
we
have
a
situation
we
have
to
deal
with,
so
what
I
would
I
think?
Maybe,
instead
of
coming
back
here
with
that
recommendation,
mr.
I
I
I
A
A
Sold
finance
put
it
on
the
agenda
for
finance
that
mr.
Regas
will
come
before
the
committee
and
we
can
have
a
breakdown
of
his
needs.
The
cost
of
the
needs
down
to
the
penny.
That
way,
we
know
it
can
mean
times
are
tough,
this
one
yeah.
We
want
to
do
it
this
month,
Finance
Committee.
Definitely
mr.
Vickery,
Thank.
P
You,
mr.
chairman
I,
don't
have
16s
numbers,
but
I
do
have
15s
numbers
and
there
were
two
full-time
and
then
the
part-timers
two
with
family
coverage,
I
should
say
at
sixteen
thousand
nine
and
we
had
the
rest
of
them
were
different.
Coverages.
Okay,
so
it
looks
like
right.
Around
fifty
thousand
was
benefits,
plus
FICA
and
and
I
am
are
I've
got
the
numbers
I
just
didn't
total
them
up
here.
L
A
A
Q
R
Morning,
as
you
can
see,
766
successful
field
contacts
in
August
a
year
today,
6,000
659
2159
office
contacts
which
brings
us
to
16,000
263
to
date,
total
for
the
month
is
2815
contacts
successful
and
for
the
year
twenty
one
thousand
one
hundred
thirty-seven
you
can
see.
We
did
137
drug
tests
1200
so
far
and
in
the
juvenile
world
we
screened
33
juveniles
for
detention
detained
18
and
we
currently
have
18
in
custody
15
or
at
River
Valley
3,
airdrome,
combs
and
currently
have
23
minors
on
home
confinement
or
curfew
just
hitting
the
stats
I.
R
R
To
give
you
an
update
on
our
funding
state
fiscal
year
18
we
received
that
notification
last
week
and
we
funding
increased
by
about
$20,000.
What
you
could
say
with
increases
were
funded
the
same
right
as
we
were
or
17
base.
So
that
was
good
news.
When
I
was
concerned
about
5%
cut,
that
was
good
news
and
we
we
know
this.
The
amount.
R
R
Also
we
were
notified.
We're
are
gonna,
receive
our
grant
that
funds
one
officer
in
our
sex
offender
unit
through
December
18.
So
we
have
that
now.
I
want
to
state
fiscal
year.
17
grant
need
that
was
on
the
agenda.
Well,
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
in
it
there's
many
of
you
know.
The
general
fund
covers
about
95%
of
my
salaries.
Only
it's
all
covers
the
other
5%
by
grant
revenue
and
in
all
operations
are
from
special
funds
of
that
95%
funded
by
the
general
fund.
R
He
received
a
large
portion
of
that
back
in
the
cellar
reimbursement,
the
grant
Nate,
the
total
the
general
fund
covers
about
30%
or
28%,
exactly
the
cost
of
running
the
kinky
office
and
so
and
as
a
result
of
operating
on
special
funds.
Only
and
delaying
major
purchases
and
extending
out
replacements
schedules
on
things
we're
at
a
point
where
I
have
to
replace
a
few
things.
R
I
have
to
get
ahead
of
this
a
little
bit,
and
this
is
where
some
the
team
comes
in:
to
grant
an
aide,
August,
30th
or
kinky
office
received
notice
that
we're
going
to
receive
an
additional
exact,
eighty-eight
thousand
five
hundred
thirteen
dollars
and
sixty
cents
and
grant
an
aid
for
seventeen
that
wasn't
budgeted.
The
state
had
funds
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
we
just
Recinos
we're
getting.
You
know
an
allocation
and
ditional
allocation,
and
this
is
where
the
replacements
I'm
talking
about.
We
have
purchased
vehicle
since
2008.
R
These
are
vehicles
that,
obviously
they
take
out
late
at
night,
all
over
the
county
checking
out
people
and
things
like
that
they
got
to
have
reliable
cars.
We've
held
that
off,
since
only
our
camera
system
in
the
annex
is
the
oldest
in
the
county.
I
think
it
might
have
been
even
use
doing
it's
installed.
It's.
R
We
have
11
cameras
that
watch
them
in
hallways
or
waiting
areas,
parking
lot.
Things
like
that
they're
just
going
out.
I
think,
right
now
we
have
two
people
that
can
actually
view
the
cameras,
because
I
appreciate
everything,
Trent
and
Josh
have
done
there
over
there
all
the
time
trying
to
troubleshoot
and
help
us
out
with
no
cost
but
Trent
even
said
it
just
begin
to
the
point
we
can't
fix.
Replace
these
cameras
are
very
important
to
us.
Obviously
we're
in
our
Billings
unsecured,
which
is
uncommon
for
a
probation
department.
R
Even
smaller
counties
are
usually
located
in
the
courthouse
which
is
secured
so
to
be
able
to
see.
What's
going
on
around
the
building
is
very
important
computers.
You
know
we're
the
point.
We
need
to
place
computers
and
monitors
and
put
that
off
and
given
that
Krishi
everything
Kevin's
done
to
piece
that
together
for
us,
but
we're
at
the
point
where
we
got
to
replace
some
of
those
things
and
not
to
get
too
deep
into
this,
because
I
don't
have
the
sheriff.
If
I
speak
to
a
better
and
I
can.
R
But
there
is
here
in
the
next
couple
years:
they
can
radio
communication
system
that
we
use
that,
although
for
some
use
is
gonna,
be
replaced
and
upgraded,
I
should
say
we
meet.
We
have
to
replace
all
our
radios,
our
equipment,
early
estimates
are
$2,500
or
so
for
a
portable
radio
I,
don't
know
what
the
costs
for
a
mobile
unit
and
the
vehicles
gonna
cost.
How
that's
gonna
be
expensive.
We
have
to
replace
everything
and
then
obviously
I
know.
The
concern.
R
I
have
is
Senate
bill,
20
34,
which
is
bail,
reform
and
our
pretrial
program
house
that
I've
talked
about
this
kidding
me
committee
before
it's
gonna
increase
our
caseload.
In
addition
to
the
talk
you
hear
about
all
the
new
cases
being
filed
and
the
impact
that's
on
the
PD
and
the
state's
attorney
and
the
courts,
we
supervise
those
individuals.
R
Our
numbers
are
going
to
increase
also,
but
the
pre-trial
is
kind
of
a
separate
animal
and
so
I
chosen
this
time
to
talk
to
the
state
and
communicate
to
the
state
about
additional
positions,
but
I
think
that's
my
conversations
on
him
with
them
and
that's
the
route
I'm
going
with
that
right
now,
I'm
having
a
meeting
with
the
beginning
of
October,
so
that
said
getting
back
to
the
88
thousand.
That
was
not
budgeted
that
we
received
that
I
think
was
a
gift
very
timely,
I'd
like
to
use
that
money.
R
The
plan
is
to
use
that
money
to
purchase
two
to
three
vehicles
and
replace
the
camera
system
and
I'm
not
asking
for
additional
dollars
from
the
county.
I
have
to
say
that
replace
the
camera
system,
I,
don't
think
she's
following
the
department,
hood
and
individual
departments
and
other
reasonable
safety
measures.
I
don't
fish
but
again
where's
the
money
come
from.
We
have
this
and
I
would
be
willing
to
put
it
towards
that,
to
replace
that
and
to
replace
those
vehicles,
no
cost
to
get
that
done.
The
other
purchases,
computers
and
different
things.
Q
C
If
someone
was
to
ask
well,
you
know:
was
the
dollar
amount
you
know
and
to
make
sure
that
we
are
all
setting
the
cause
at
no
additional
cost
for
the
county,
the
county
part
of
that
the
accounting
part
of
that
you
know
being
in
perspective,
but
I
do
believe
that
not
to
belabor,
because
I
think
is
well
worth
it
other
than
just
the
head
now
from
here.
That
can
be
explained
to
the
Finance
Committee
checks
out.
C
R
I
appreciate
it
like
I
said
it's
gonna
be
offset
by
the
additional
allocation.
I
spoke
to
Andy
about
this
obviously
I
mean,
with
the
chief
judge,
on
a
regular
basis
to
talk
short
and
long-term
financial
issues
and
and
you've
discussed
this
so
I
think
it
would
be
very
used
to
that
money
was
kind
of
a
nice
surprise.
Mr.
R
J
Was
true
and
I
did
to
let
the
committee
know
I
spoke
to
Tom
about
this
and
we
were
trying
to
get
the
safety
grant
to
take
care
of
the
cameras
and
there
wasn't
enough
left
in
there.
So
if
because
we
hadn't
bought
the
the
batteries
for
the
the
defibrillator
machines
yet
so
we've
got
to
replace
those
ongoing
basis
as
well.
So
my
commitment,
if
there
was
anything
left
in
there,
we'll
use
it
towards
this
as
well.
Q
T
Yeah,
it's
extremely
antiquated.
It
was
there
before
I
even
took
my
position
six
or
seven
years
ago.
It's
very
old.
We
can't
even
remote
in
from
here
anymore.
We
have
to
go
on-site
with
the
monitor
and
they
don't
even
make
that
type
anymore.
We
got
two
quotes
from
River,
who
put
it
in
or
initially
I
bought
that
with
Tom
another.
R
S
I
believe
the
the
strategy
that
we've
done,
that
the
county
here
is
all
public
safety
offices
have
been
going
through
the
sheriff
system,
kind
of
unifies
things
every
kind
of
head.
They
have
the
one
head
unit
or
the
server
room
where
everything
feeds
back
to
and
they
can
monitor.
And
while
it's
expensive,
it's
actually
a
little
bit
cheaper
than
trying
to
have
stand
currently.
T
Q
R
And
that's
a
judge.
Creamer
spoke
about
Veterans
Court,
graduation
drug
court.
Graduation
is
Friday
October
20
night
life.
That's
it!
The
drug
court
auction
is
a
Friday
October
27,
the
Knights
of
Columbus.
You
can
call
me
if
you
want
me
to
any
tickets
or
anything
like
that,
but
in
drug
court
graduation
is
December
1st
10:30
and
we'll
send
out
emails.
Q
Q
Q
H
Can
see
on
there
it's
505
that
was
through
the
August
grand
jury,
I,
think
it
shows
seven
murders
in
the
stats.
Some
of
those
our
old
one
was
the
from
the
80s
if
it
was
and
Bradley
so
that's
included
in
there.
Those
are
the
numbers
charged,
not
the
numbers
committed
this
year.
I
think
we've
had
four
this
year.
H
Just
to
address
some
of
the
staffing
questions,
I
know
there's
been
some
questions
about
how
we
how
we
were
able
to
hire
some
additional
attorneys
in
the
state's
attorney's
office,
so
I
want
to
first
I
want
to
say
that
the
state's
attorney's
office
did
not
get
a
budget
increase
this
year.
The
budget
amendment
that
the
board
approved
restored,
the
funding
to
last
year's
levels
restored
it
initially.
When
I
took
office,
there
was
$700,000
allocated.
The
last
year's
budget
was
858
thousand
dollars,
they
restored
it
to
the
eight
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
dollar
amount.
H
So
we
didn't
get
an
increase.
In
fact,
2016
s
budget
was
858,
but
I
think
the
actual
expenditure
was
866,
so
this
year,
I
still
have
just
a
few
thousand
dollars
under
what
it
costs
to
run
the
office
last
year.
Additionally,
when
you
look
department
by
department,
only
three
departments
have
less
today
than
they
had
than
their
15
and
16
actuals
and
that
I
believe
his
administration
probation
in
the
state's
attorney's
office.
So
there
hasn't
been
some
influx
of
funding
into
my
office.
H
What
we've
done
is
initially
we
cut
a
lot
of
the
costs
that
we
thought
were
unnecessary.
There
previously
was
an
administrative
assistant
position
to
the
state's
attorney.
We
cut
that
position
that
saved
about
$35,000
moving
out
of
the
courthouse
on
the
board
approved
that
that
saves
some
money,
I
mean
moving
back
into
the
courthouse
I'm.
H
Sorry,
we
got
rid
of
the
two
state's
attorney's
vehicles
that
allowed
us
to
move
some
money
that
was
being
spent
on
gas
and
maintenance
and
repairs
on
those
vehicles
back
into
putting
personnel
in
the
courthouse
with
the
sheriff
and
trans
assistance.
We
renegotiated
our
what
our
Lexus
or
Westlaw
contracts.
We
went
from
West
law
to
LexisNexis
that
cut
thousands
of
dollars
a
year
off
those
services
and
gave
all
of
law
enforcement.
Countywide
access
to
a
program
called
accurate.
H
So
even
though,
now
we're
getting
more
services
under
that
contract,
it's
still
costing
us
less
saved
a
lot
of
money.
We
got
rid
a
lot
of
the
non-essentials
in
the
office.
You
know,
though
you
were
paying
for
a
coffee
service
water
service
subscriptions.
All
that
stuff
was
cut
out
in
December.
So
you
know
those
are
small
expenses,
but
but
it
all
adds
up
over
time.
We
signed
up
every
attorney
with
Nemer,
which
is
northeast,
multi
Regional,
Training
Association.
H
We
had
our
office
certified
as
a
CLE
provider
that
allows
us
to
do
in-house
trainings
and
give
those
attorneys
credit
for
those
hours
so
again
we're
saving
money
there
instead
of
sending,
for
instance,
the
treatment
courts,
drug
treatment,
court,
veteran's
treatment,
Court.
Those
are
national
conferences
that
you
have
to
be
certified
by
in
order
to
keep
those.
Instead
of
sending
everyone
on
our
team
to
Washington
DC.
For
that
we
sent
half
there
and
the
other
two
went
to
Peoria
in
the
future.
All
of
our
attorneys
will
be
going
to
the
Peoria
conference.
H
It's
much
cheaper,
it's
shorter
in
time,
but
it
still
satisfies
those
certification
requirements.
So
we
can
keep
the
treatment
court.
So
you
save
a
lot
of
money
like
that.
We
restructured
our
internal
mileage
and
per
diem
reimbursements,
so
we're
saving
a
little
bit
on
that.
Well,
as
of
December
1st,
we're
eliminating
all
the
non-essential
cell
phones
in
the
office
every
employee,
because
the
offices,
because
they
weren't
at
the
courthouse
right,
they
were
out
on
Schuyler.
H
So
if
someone
had
an
issue
at
the
courthouse,
they
had
to
be
able
to
reach
the
attorney,
so
they
had
cell
phones.
Now
that
we're
back
in
the
courthouse,
we're
gonna
be
able
to
eliminate
most
of
those
cell
phones
that
will
save
about
another
eight
thousand.
We
had
to
replace
some
of
the
computers
with
Kevin's
help.
We've
got
computers
that
are
refurbished
models,
but
they
came
with
warranty
so
just
as
good
as
new
ones.
H
Just
quite
a
bit
cheaper,
we've
started
working
with
the
circuit
clerk's
office
on
those
collections,
I
think
I,
don't
know
if
you
mentioned
it,
but
I
think
during
the
amnesty
month,
there's
not
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
was
collected
just
during
that
one
month.
So
that
was
a
good
bump
I'm
to
see
revenue
come
into
the
county.
We
got
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
grant
from
Illinois
criminal
justice
information
authority
of
those
for
attorneys.
Mr.
H
H
When
you
get
money
from
icj,
I
it
is
renewed
annually
as
long
as
we
meet
our
our
numbers.
So
as
long
as
the
funding
source
remains
there
at
the
state
level
and
we
meet
our
numbers,
that
should
be
we've
been
more
aggressive
in
our
asset
forfeiture
collections
when
came
egg
or
the
agencies
recover
cash
or
property
vehicles
at
a
drug
arrest.
We
seize
that
money
in
those
vehicles
and
goes
into
local
law
enforcement.
The
twelve
and
a
half
percent
of
that
also
comes
into
the
state's
attorney's
forfeiture
fund.
H
We
got
a
grant
from
the
ASPCA
to
cover
some
trainings
for
two
prosecutors
to
add
victim
impact
panels
with
the
DUI
offenders,
which
is
generating
some
money
to
cover
a
DUI
prosecution.
Expenses
went
over
with
the
circuit
clerk's
office.
Again
the
fine
and
fee
orders.
So
we
make
sure
that
when
someone's
convicted
that
we're
assessing
the
maximum
and
then
accurate
amount
of
fights
and
our
vowel
grant,
we've
been
real
aggressive
with
our
grants.
H
Our
Violence
Against
Women
Act
grant
that's
for
our
sex
prosecutors
that
went
up
by
sixteen
thousand
dollars,
but
can
witness
grant
went
up
by
fifteen
thousand
dollars
a
year
that
allowed
us
to
move
one
of
our
attorneys
part-time
onto
that
grant
to
prosecute
sex
cases
which
read
up
money
in
the
general
fund?
So
we
were
able
to
pay
for
another
half
of
an
attorney
to
come
in
under
our
general
fund.
H
So
when
you
gave
us
that
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
that
wasn't
a
bump,
that
was
putting
us
back
to
baseline
and
that's
what
allowed
us
to
bring
in
these
additional
attorneys
in
order
to
bridge
the
gap
so
that
we
have
enough
prosecutors
to
prosecute
these
cases
because
remember
the
state's
attorney's
office
doesn't
handle
80
percent
of
the
cases
that
come
in
the
courthouse.
We
handle
hundred
percent
of
those
cases
and
we
don't
handle
them
after
they've
been
filed.
H
We
have
to
handle
them
from
the
time
that
police
arrest
the
person
through
all
that
investigation
process
working
with
law
enforcement,
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
can
indict
them
and
we
have
to
have
grand
jury
and
indict
them.
Then,
where
it's
on
us
to
obtain
all
the
discovery
and
tendrá
the
defendant
doesn't
have
any
obligation
to
give
us
any
information
other
than
plead
not
guilty
and
demand
trial.
So
the
majority
of
that
work
is
on
our
office.
H
That's
why
we're
going
to
have
more
staff
members
at
the
end
of
the
day,
probably
than
any
public
defender's
office
and
that's
consistent
nationwide.
If
you
look
at
any
County
so
in
order
to
bridge
that
gap,
we're
using
our
state
forfeiture
funds,
I,
know,
I,
guess
the
sheriff's
doing
now
for
his
vehicles
we're
doing
the
same.
H
We're
tapping
into
some
of
those
asset
forfeitures
the
money
that
we
take
from
the
dope
dealers
to
cover
the
prosecution
of
the
drug
prosecutions,
gang
violence
fund
to
cover
the
expense
of
the
gang
prosecutors
that
we're
doing
with
the
the
gang
civil
injunctions
that
we
have
pending
and
then
federal
forfeiture
funds
we're
using
to
work
with
the
coroner
on
his
narcan
program.
We've
used
that
with
local
law
enforcement,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
training
with
that
money.
That
money
cannot
be
used
for
personnel,
so
that
has
to
be
used
for
either
training
or
stop.
H
And
we're
looking
for
opportunities
when
we
spend
money
on
something
it
either
ends
up
reducing
our
caseload,
somehow
on
the
prevention
side
of
things,
or
it
makes
the
cases
coming
into
our
office
easier
to
prosecute.
So
III
wanted
to
clarify
things.
That
is
okay,
so
it's
not
just
influx
of
money
coming
in
the
state's
attorney's
office,
we're
just
doing
more
with
what
we
have
because
we're
better
leveraging
the
funds
out
there.
H
There
aren't
many
funds
available
for
a
public
defender's
office,
there's
just
not
a
lot
of
grants
out
there
to
help
people
get
out
of
jail,
but
at
the
same
time
as
much
as
mr.
Regas
office
has
an
obligation
to
make
sure
that
those
individuals
obtain
a
fair
trial
and
are
adequately
represented.
So
it
is
our
office.
We
don't
ever
put
an
innocent
person
behind
bars.
We
obtain
a
conviction.
We
want
to
have
confidence
in
that
conviction.
So
I
think
it's
important
that
the
board
realized
there
is.
There
is
a
need
there.
H
I,
don't
know
what
the
need
is:
I'm,
not
familiar
with
how
that
office
bronzor
their
caseload.
When
judge
Cramer
says
there
need
there's
a
need.
Mr.
Ricca
says:
there's
a
need
and
scheduling
is
another
thing.
An
attorney
had
to
k2
trials
up
on
the
same
day,
but
those
cases
are
scheduled
by
the
attorneys
in
the
jail
korneyev,
the
judges
calendar.
We
try,
we
have
the
same
situation.
Sometimes
an
attorney
may
have
two
cases.
The
other
day
we
had
one
attorney.
She
had
eight
DUI
trials
up
the
same
day.
H
G
All
of
the
grant
writing
who
does
your
grant
writing
who's?
Getting
these
grants
for
your
office,
dr.
Risa,
Willis,
oh
wow,
Wow,
I,
applaud
or
efforts.
Second
thing
is
semantics,
sir,
if
you
got
one
budget
and
they
gave
you
more
I'm,
not
sure
last
year's
budget
has
anything
to
do
with
it.
I'm
used
to
zero
budgeting,
and
so
maybe
you
did
get
more
if
your
original
budget
was
X
and
the
county
gave
you
more,
it
was.
G
H
P
F
F
H
F
H
Q
E
H
So
everyone
has
agreed
to
participate
in
that.
My
hope
is
that
that
commission,
initially
at
least,
can
focus
its
efforts
on
one
issue
and
that's
truancy,
prevention.
We
don't
see
a
lot
of
people
come
into
our
courtrooms
and
300
or
309
that
have
high
school
diplomas
or
college
degrees
that
are
being
charged
with
serious
or
violent
crimes.
So
there's
something
to
be
said
for
lowering
recidivism
rates
once
people
are
in
the
system
and
keeping
people
out
of
the
system,
I
think
it
comes
back
to
keeping
them
in
school.
H
So
if
we
could
increase
our
efforts
on
the
truancy
side
of
things,
I
think
would
be
well-served
in
the
long
run.
There's
no
expense
I'm
connected
to
this
juvenile
justice
commission.
The
idea
is
actually
to
bring
community
providers
to
the
table
and
leverage
resources
that
already
exist
in
the
county.
J
You,
mr.
chairman,
that
it
seemed
like
a
no-brainer
and
we
were
ready
to
pull
the
trigger
on
this
for
the
full
board
meeting.
But
I
thought
it
was
appropriate
that
even
though
there
is
no
money
being
allocated
that
would
bring
it
to
the
committee
criminal
justice,
so
everybody
could
give
a
blessing
and
then
we'll
just
move
forward
and
putting
up
a
nominee.
If
you
will
on
the
executive
committee
agenda
this
month,
you
know
so
it's
a
chairman
would
appoint
and
I
guess
more
question
is:
where
would
the?
Where
do
you
expect
meeting
at
TBD
or.
H
J
C
Q
U
U
Things
first
of
all
welcome
mr.
Duda.
As
the
committee
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
you're
more
than
welcome
to
come
to
our
office
any
time
for
a
tour
or
see
an
autopsy
if
you
can
handle
it
or
anybody
who
wishes
to
do
so
wanted
to
thank
mr.
McConnell,
we
finally
got
our
morgue
van
tissue
morgue
fan
issue
fixed.
He
engineered
the
solution
to
that
and
Bryan
Gadbois
was
here,
I,
don't
know
where
he
went,
but
thank
you
to
maintenance,
also
for
their
help.
U
Doing
that
working
great
and
the
doctors
are
really
happy
with
us.
So
thank
you.
We
had
a
significant
expense.
Last
month
we
ordered
body
bags.
We
were
getting
pretty
low
on
our
supply
about
a
six
thousand
dollar
expense
that
we
had
to
do.
However,
we
were
able
to
get
a
net
savings
of
seven
hundred
ninety
two
dollars.
So
while
it's
not
a
significant
amount
of
money,
it's
money
saved.
U
We
contacted
Iroquois
County
and
asked
if
they
would
be
interested
in
purchasing
with
us
and
by
bumping
up
the
numbers,
we
were
able
to
negotiate
a
lower
rate
and
those
what
we
paperback
so
good
savings.
Its
money,
quite
frankly,
the
county
doesn't
have,
and
it's
taxpayer
money.
So
it's
always
good
when
we
can
save
that
over
those
wives,
we're
up
to
41
overdoses.
I
did
training
on
Monday
with
representative
from
Riverside
at
moments.
U
Pd,
we
trained
all
the
moments
officers,
the
Saint,
Anne,
Police
Department,
the
rest
of
the
Grant
Park
Police
Officers,
so
we're
just
about
done.
Wrapping
all
of
those
trainings.
The
good
part
about
that
is
my
salary
and
Bob's
salary.
When
we
do
that
our
mileage
to
those
meetings,
we
can
reimburse
the
county
for
those
out
of
our
grant
money.
U
So
again,
those
are
some
added
receipts
that
we
can
add
to
the
general
fund
and
it's
not
going
to
be
enough
to
fund
a
public
defender
or
anything
like
that,
but
any
amount
helps
probably
and
one
thing:
the
Riverside
persons
that
I
thought
was
interesting
is
of
our
41
overdoses.
We've
had
twenty
three
police
officers
save
lives
of
people,
who've
overdosed
in
this
county
this
year.
So
that's
realistically,
we
could
be
at
sixty
four
overdose
deaths,
but
even
more
staggering
is
this
year
alone.
U
N
U
Right
so
there's
33
there
under
accidental.
If
you
go
up
to
where
it
says,
suicide,
there's
two
overdoses
there
and
then
the
remaining
numbers
fall
into
different
categories.
For
example,
drowning
could
be
drowning
as
the
primary
cause
of
death.
However,
cocaine
intoxication
could
be
a
significant
contributing
condition
to
it,
or
motor
vehicle
accident
could
be
due
to
heroin
intoxication
or
something
along
those
lines.
They.
N
U
Into
other
categories,
final
thing,
the
opioid
form
I,
don't
know:
did
you
guys
receive
something
in
the
mail
and
invite
you?
You
know
you
guys
should
be
receiving
an
invite
in
the
mail.
I
know
they
went
out
last
week,
so
that
should
be
coming
within
the
next
day
or
two
I
emailed
Diane
this
morning
and
asked
you
to
pass
that
out
to
everybody.
U
It's
September
25th,
all
of
that
at
the
Wisner
auditorium
six
o'clock,
an
expert
panel,
some
people
in
this
room,
the
sheriff
state's
attorney
and
others,
and
the
community
will
be
there
to
discuss
the
opioid
problem
and
what
their
office
is
doing
and
at
the
end
we
hope
to
have
an
open
mic
session,
where
people
can
ask
questions
to
the
experts
on
that
matter,
about
what
they're
doing
and
what
they
see
and
what
they
want
to
do
in
the
future.
To
combat
the
issue
so
hope
to
see
you
there,
if
you
can
make
it.
Q
Q
L
U
L
L
Q
V
Yeah
we're
still
working
through
the
kinks
to
try
and
get
these
to
you
in
a
timely
manner.
I
apologize
that
they
got
to
you
yesterday,
instead
of
Monday,
we'll
work
next
month
to
get
them
to
you
the
week
before,
hopefully
they'll
get
to
where
they
need
to
go.
However,
there
is
one
in
your
packet
and
there
is
some
on
the
table
there.
V
If
you
didn't,
if
you
don't
have
it
in
your
packet
on
the
correction
side,
the
first
part
of
that
report,
as
you
can
see,
we're
averaging
94
more
out
of
County
in
August
to
17
compared
to
August
16
through
August
to
17.
At
this
point
we
are
two
point:
four
million
dollars
ahead
of
where
we
were
last
year
and
in
the
cost
of
obviously
with
additional
revenue
and
additional
detainees.
There
are
additional
costs,
but
those
are
significantly
minor
in
comparison
to
what
we're
bringing
in
so
we're
happy
about
that.
V
One
of
the
things
that
and
we've
talked
about
this
everybody
that's
come
up
here-
has
talked
about
it
from
you
know
the
chief
judge
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think.
Sometimes
we
forget
when
we
talk
about
how
this
affects,
how
how
the
lack
of
representation
affects
everybody
and
it
does
affect
everybody
every
department.
V
So
now
and
I
think
mister
dude
asked
about
trends,
and
if
this
is
a
surge,
we
we
won't
know
with
the
additional
filings.
You
know
people
are
having
a
difficult
time.
If
they
can't
afford
an
attorney,
they
normally
can't
afford
to
post
bond,
so
they
are
in
jail
and
obviously
that
is
a
cost
to
you
as
well,
or
a
cost
to
the
county
when
it
comes
to
having
to
house
these
individuals
so
they're
where
they
need
to
be
in
jail.
V
But
with
the
addition
of
all
these
cases,
sometimes
the
lack
of
adequate
representation
that
does
affect
us
and
I
can
tell
you
and
the
only
comment
that
mr.
Regas
made
that
I
would
challenge.
Is
the
cost
of
our
nursing
staff.
I
believe
that
our
nurses
are
paid
a
fair
wage
and
it
takes
a
special
person
to
work
in
the
medical
department
in
a
corrections
facility,
and
they
do
a
heck
of
a
job
and
I
of
all.
V
People
have
complimented
us
numerous
times
about
our
medical
department
and
how
good
they
do,
and
obviously
Gus
was
certainly
not
taking
a
swipe
at
anybody.
He
was
just
trying
to
make
a
comparison,
but
just
for
your
information,
I
think
it's
imperative
that
you
know
that
medical
as
I
talked
about
before
the
important
things
for
ice
are
medical
safety
and
security
and
recreation.
So
we
meet
two
of
those
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
a
little
bit
later.
V
V
Also,
our
fatals
are
staying
relatively
the
same.
For
now
and
again,
that's
going
to
be
a
timing
thing
where
the
more
we're
out
there,
the
more
people
slow
down,
and
maybe
we
prevent
some
future
fatalities
and
that's
obviously
our
goal
is:
is
safety
on
the
roads
we
did
have
a.
We
did
conduct
a
traffic
detail
and
what
we're
starting
to
do
is
we're
starting
to
target
complaint
areas
where
people
are
calling
saying
these
people
are
flying
by
and
we
did
just
Monday.
V
In
fact,
as
everything
was
happening
in
Bourbon
a
brick
stone
with
an
armed
robbery,
we
had
three
officers
out
on
overtime
in
an
area
out
in
Saint
George
and
for
three
hours
they
wrote
19
citations
and
had
an
arrest.
So
it
was.
It
was
a
successful
detail.
What
we
did
out
there
is
we
put
on
on
st.
George
Road.
We
put
our
traffic
control
device.
V
However,
after
we
take
it
down,
then
we'll
go
out
in
patrol
and
I
think
the
public
needs
to
be
aware
that
if
you
see
this
out
there
somewhere,
that's
that's
what
we're
doing
I
mean
we're
seeing
how
fast
people
are
going
and-
and
we
want
to
stop
it
and
we're
gonna
write
tickets
and
it's
not
about
revenue.
It's
about
safety
safety
for
you
driver
safety
for
some
other
unsuspecting
driver.
That
may
not
be
speeding.
We
saw
you
know
how
bad
the
the
issue
was
in
Beecher
you
a
month
ago.
So
it's
not
about
that
person.
J
This
is
the
same
situation
that
we
had
spoken
with
on
the
phone.
I
could
kind
of
show
you
how
this
really
worked
in
a
lot
of
different
areas.
A
citizen
called
my
office
saying
I've
got
a
problem
that
was
it
yeah
and
and
we
sent
letters
to
the
state
for
I
dot
about
flashing
lights
and
stop
signs,
and
they
said
because
it's
a
state
road,
so
we
tried
to
go
that
route.
I
doubt
really
wouldn't
get
involved
with
it.
We
had
previously.
J
We
were
the
ones
that
put
up
the
flashing
light
at
Route
one
and
in
st.
George
Road.
So
when
I
just
called
up
the
sheriff
and
I
said
hey,
what
can
we
do
out
here
and
he
said
we
can
put
the
sign
out
there
and
the
resident
was
just
kidding
and
so
after
what
is
it
probably
a
week
or
two?
You
gather
the
data.
So
this
all
worked.
J
V
V
V
707
yeah
calls
for
service
7,000
yeah,
so
yeah,
that's
significant.
That
is
absolutely
our
arrests
are
up,
and
so
our
guys
are
out
there
doing
what
they
can
with
what
little
resources
they
have.
So
I
can't
speak
enough
about
how
great
of
a
job
they're
doing
with
with
what
they've
been
given,
and
they
just
go
out
and
do
it
I
know
that
you
guys.
V
One
of
the
things
down
in
the
third
section
under
revenue-
and
this
is
just
a
and
I'm
still
working
on
the
civil
process
numbers
because
those
are
a
little
bit
hard
because
there's
money
coming
in
as
far
as
being
billed
and
all
that
so
I
don't
have
a
final
number
on
that.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
increase
when
we
did
this
feast
study
was
our
fee
to
take
bond
which
is
different
than
mr..
Stop
and
burg
alluded
to
the
booking
fees.
That's
different
from
the
booking
fees.
V
V
Well
now
that
number
has
been
increased
based
on
the
feast
study
and
it's
46
so
based
on
those
numbers
back
in
December
in
January
we
collected
four
hundred
and
seven
dollars
and
33
cents
because
remember
we
cannot
hold
the
individuals
because
they
can't
pay
their
fee
to
take
bond.
That's
been
that's
been
through
the
courts.
There's
gonna
lawsuit
filed,
not
in
Kankakee,
but
because
we
were
doing
it
right
from
the
beginning,
but
there
were
counties
out
there
who
were
saying
your
bonds
$100.
V
J
Mr.
wheeler,
not
maybe
not
a
question,
just
more
of
a
statement.
What's
not
readily
available
here
is,
is
the
the
costs
associated
and
I
wanted
to
complement,
commend
the
sheriff.
The
cost
have
been
kept
in
line
very
much
in
line
over
time
has
been
severely
reduced.
We
all
knew
that
it
would
take
a
lot
of
OT
to
get
this
going
and
it's
something
that
we
continually
monitor.
So
the
hard
work
attention
to
detail
of
the
staff
and
yourself
is
appreciated.
Well,.
V
And
that's
a
credit
to
the
guy
back
there
in
the
light
blue
shirt,
chief
calhoun
zoo
and
his
assistant
chief
rob
schultz
have
done
outstanding
work
and
I
brought
this
before
and
I
know
mr.
Doody
you're
new
here,
but
the
ice
standards
for
us
to
meet
ice
I'm
sure
you
deal
with
standards
all
the
time
coming
from
the
hospital,
but
our
ice
standard
book
is
about
this
thick.
So
you
know
for
what
we've
done
in
a
short
period
of
time.
V
V
I
address
the
jail
population
so
I.
We
don't
need
to
really
talk
about
that.
We'll
continue
to
monitor
that.
The
one
thing
that
the
jail
administration
does
is
that
they
do
notify
the
state's
attorney
and
they
do
look
at
lower
bonds
of
individuals,
because
the
guys
got
a
hundred
dollar
bond
and
he's
been
here
for
three
weeks.
V
V
Obviously
the
standards
of
this-
but
you
know
safety
and
security,
medical
food,
male
fergus
and
outdoor
rec
I-
am
going
to
start
coming
up
with
some
ideas
and
plans
and
cost
of
what
it
would
take
for
us
to
establish
an
outdoor
recreation
area
along
the
phase
three
portion
here,
as
you
come
in
it
doesn't
have
to
be
outdoor
rec
does
not
have
to
be
baseball
fields,
football
fields
and
everything
else.
It's
just
got
to
be
outdoor.
They
just
have
to
see
fresh
air,
so
I
think
this
doing.
V
This
eventually
I
think
would
make
us
much
more
attractive
to
ice,
and
they
know
right
now
that
you
know
we
will.
We
are
unable
to
meet
that,
and,
and
literally
some
judges
are
moving
detainees
around
to
places
that
do
have
outdoor
rec,
which
of
the
day
of
the
jails
in
our
district
Kenosha
County
in
Wisconsin
and
Pulaski
County
in
southern
Illinois
are
the
only
two
that
really
have
outdoor
rec,
so
obviously
we're
not
going
to
break
the
bank.
We're
not
looking
to
spend
millions
on
this
we're
looking
at
a
guess.
V
Q
G
V
C
I
P
V
Bus
drivers,
I
think,
is
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
and
again,
that
is
gonna,
be
a
quick
issue
ice,
as
many
of
you
know,
on
Fridays
ice
gathers
here
from
outside
of
our
County,
including
some
that
we
have
and
for
deportation,
and
we
transport
them
at
this
time
to
Gary
Indiana
to
the
Gary
Indiana
Airport
ice
provides
two
buses
and
at
this
point
they
provide
the
drivers.
They
would
like
us
to
be
able
to
provide
the
drivers.
We
have
our
own
buses
right
now,
our
own
local
buses,
but
they're,
not
ice
buses.
V
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
seen
it
but
they're
like
Greyhound
buses.
So
the
certification
that
our
drivers
need
is
a
passenger
endorsement
and
we
are
having
some
deputies
and
correctional
officers
go
through
that
process
and
what
that'll
do
it'll
do
two
things
number
one:
we
don't
have
to
buy
any
buses.
That's
that's
number
one
number
two.
V
They
will
then
for
us
to
drive
the
buses.
They
will
then
reimburse
our
salaries
during
that
transport,
so
we're
going
anyway
with
them,
so
that
would
reduce
a
little
bit
of
the
cost
of
us
going.
The
cost
for
getting
their
CDLs
or
their
passenger
endorsement.
Yeah
I,
don't
believe
it
to
be
more
than
a
hundred
dollars.
So
we
may
end
up
spending
about
five
hundred
dollars
by
the
time
it's
all
said
and
done,
and
we
have
both
correctional
officers
and
deputies
who
are
one
step
away
from
getting
their
passenger
endorsement
on
these
buses.
V
Staffing
we've
completed
our
interviews
and,
as
you
know,
we
lost,
we
have
lost
three.
We
lost
two
deputies
and
in
one
of
our
Chiefs
we've
completed.
America
mission
is
completed
interviews.
We
have
started
backgrounds
and
we
are
gonna
hire
two
as
soon
as
the
backgrounds
are
complete,
which
we've
talked
about
for
a
number
of
months
and
it's
just
in
a
timing
issue,
but
those
are
going
to
be
lateral
hires
that
we
don't
have
to
send
a
training
through
the
police.
Training
institute
that
are
already
trained.
V
They'll
just
have
to
go
through
our
FTO
program
to
learn
our
policies.
Procedures,
learn
our
roads
and
things
like
that
and
the
last
item
is
the
moving
of
our
January
10th
meeting.
We
have
new
world
training
in
here
that
week
and
this
room
will
be
full
of
computers,
so
if
we
can
probably
the
same
and
maybe
move
it
over
to
the
County
Building
at
7:30,
instead
of
here,
that's
up
to
you
guys
or
we
can
move
it
a
different
day
in
here,
it's
a
different
week.
It
actually
be
a
different
week.
Every
night.
J
J
V
Ice
and
and
the
issues
affecting
ice
our
governor
signed
Senate
bill
31,
which
was
the
trust
Act,
which
there's
a
lot
of
interpretation
out
there.
One
of
those
interpretations
was
was
that
we
would
not
be
able
to
house
ice
in
Illinois
and
the
way
we
interpret
it
and
I
say
we
myself,
mr.
Rowe,
who
left
we
don't
interpret
it
any
different
than
what
we're
doing
now.
The
issue
becomes
when
somebody's
arrested
on
a
local
warrant
and
we
find
out
while
he's
in
here
she
is
in
custody
that
they
are
illegal.
V
We
technically
under
Senate
bill
31
can
I
contact
ice
and
say
you
need
to
put
a
detainer
on
this
guy.
Mchenry
county
actually
has
done
that
and
they've
been
it's
right
here.
It
was
in
the
Tribune
September
9th
for
those
of
you
that
have
access
to
that
McHenry
County
Sheriff
sued
for
not
releasing
immigrant
detainee
under
the
law.
We
have
not
done
that.
So
at
this
point,
we're
still
clear
but
again,
I
think
there
may
be
some
language
out
there.
Some
hearsay
information
out
there,
that's
saying
we
can't
house
ice
and
that's
not
true.
V
I'm,
a
local
charges,
yes
yeah,
and
what
they
did
with
this
guy
is
they
didn't,
allow
him
to
post
bond.
He
had
a
$500
bond,
his
bond
showed
up
to
post
and
they
said
no,
you
can't
post
your
bond
and
he
was.
He
was
arrested
on
a
misdemeanor
domestic
battery.
I
mean
I,
have
my
own
thoughts
on
whether
domestic
matters
should
be
missed
me
or
not,
but
it
is
right
now
so
and
they've
had
two
other
detainees
do
the
same
thing
where
they've
tried
to
post
behind
and
McHenry?
V
Wouldn't
let
him
and
the
sheriff
to
his
credit
he's
trying
to
mean
this
is
something
that
just
got
passed
so
it
went
from
the
governor
signing
it
to
becoming
to
doing
it.
Now
we
didn't
wait
till
January.
First,
it's
immediate,
so
the
sheriff
to
his
credit
was
making
sure
that
he
didn't
want
to
release
somebody
that
shouldn't
release,
and
then
you
end
up
on
CNN
or
Fox
News.
So
you
know
that
was
his
credit.
V
You
go
Andy,
I'll,
say
one
more
thing
and
it's
really
to
mr.
Duda
and
mr.
Kinzinger
who's,
not
here,
but
invite
him
to.
If
you
ever
want
to
come
in
through
the
jail
our
Sheriff's
Department
ride.
With
our
guys
give
us
a
call,
you
know
some
board
members
have
chosen
to
do
that
and
I
think
it.
You
know,
gives
you
a
clearer
pictures
of
what
we're
doing.
J
Thank
you
this.
This
is
pretty
pretty
simple
fare,
but
this
order
of
succession
in
the
event
of
a
disaster
the
we
were
looking
at
this
document.
It
actually
named
the
succession
order
by
name
of
the
person.
So
when
we
did
this
before
some
on
the
board
may
remember,
we
had
to
do
this
some
years
back
and
it
actually
named
the
individual.
So
we
have
to
clean
that
up
and
make
it
by
position.
J
So
that's
really
all
we're
doing
is
bringing
back
here
for
the
motion
and
approval
and
then
send
it
to
executive
for
the
and
then
onto
full
board.
That's
the
process.
So
it's
chairman,
you
know
these
disasters
are
a
scary
thing,
obviously,
when
if
they
happen
to
even
scarier
to
know
that
I
would
be
in
charge
if
such
a
disaster
occurs,
but
there.
J
Q
W
Only
want
to
just
make
sure
everybody
understands
the
courthouse
is
going
to
be
having
some
work
done
and
dome
in
the
interior
of
the
dome.
I
got
approval
yesterday
from
the
Historical
Society
in
Springfield
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
this
I've
notified
the
painting
company
in
this
gaffing
we're
going
to
scaffold
the
third
floor.
All
the
way
up
into
the
dome,
we're
gonna
be
redoing.
All
the
some
of
the
painting
that's
been
deteriorated
by
the
lightning
strike
that
hit
that
roof.
This
stuff's
gonna
take
place.
W
I've
met
with
judge
Cramer,
the
sheriff
all
the
players
that
are
involved
all
knowing
what's
going
to
happen,
so
this
is
gonna
start
taking
place
here
shortly.
Will
we
bring
in
scaffolding
up
on
Saturday
and
try
and
get
this
thing
scaffold?
We
will
stay
functional
so
that
way
that
was
one
of
the
requirements
of
this
project.
So
this
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
project.
