Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 6/14/2023 7:30 AM
A
A
A
C
C
We
had
160
in
there
and
we're
now
saving
250
dollars
each
each
jury
week
from
not
having
to
rent
the
the
Knights
of
Columbus
Hall,
so
that
that's
a
real
plus
the
the
only
thing
that
we're
just
waiting
on
some
furniture
for
for
Sandy
to
move
a
minute
clerks
down
into
the
Eastern
portion
of
the
basement.
But
everyone
else
is
down
there
and
seated
and
the
court
reporters
are
down
there
and
the
other
offices
are
down
there.
So
that's
that's
a
good
thing.
C
The
second
item.
Last
month
we
opened
bids
for
the
evidence,
presentation,
carts,
four
carts
for
four
of
our
jury
courtrooms
and
we
had
two
bids.
One
from
Thompson
electronics
for
159.9
Nomad
was
162
and
change.
The
Thompson
bid
did
not
meet
the
requirement,
or
at
least
one
of
the
requirements
that
we
had
put
in
the
bid
specifications,
and
that
was
that
there'd
be
a
five-year
warranty.
C
Nomad
did
have
the
five-year
warranty,
so
we
went
with
them
and
their
bid
was
162
and
some
change
so
just
a
couple
thousand
dollars
more,
but
we're
getting
a
a
little
different
little
better
product
and
not
and
a
longer
warranty.
And
then
the
third
thing
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about.
I
think
it's
in
the
packet
is
there
some
jury
information.
Okay
in
there
Anita
had
done
a
survey
around
the
state
as
to
what
is
being
paid
to
jurors
for
their
jury.
C
Service
of
the
counties
that
were
surveyed
and
responded,
Kankakee
is
the
lowest.
We
pay
our
jurors
five
dollars
for
a
day's
work
and
10
cents.
A
mile.
The
other
counties,
they're
they're
all
over
the
board,
can
I
see
that
for
a
second
I,
don't
have
to
pull
it
up
on
my
little
phone
here,
the
highest.
C
There
are
several
counties
that
are
25
a
day
for
the
first
day
and
then
fifty
dollars
a
day
if
they're
actually
chosen
as
a
juror
and
they
serve
then
for
the
rest
of
the
jury
week
or
two
weeks
or
whatever
it
is
some
of
those
have
mileage
some.
The
mileage
is
all
over
the
board
I
think
again,
ours
is
the
lowest
at
10
cents
a
mile,
and
then
the
highest
is
the
IRS
mileage
rate
of
six,
which
is
currently
65
and
a
half
cents
a
mile.
C
So
I
I've
been
talking
to
Chairman
wheeler
about
this,
and
we
would
like
to
raise
it
to
be
a
little
bit
more
consistent
with
what
some
of
the
other
counties
are
doing,
maybe
somewhere
in
between
and
then
also
raise
raise
the
mileage
rate.
Now
you
know
understand
that
being
summoned
for
jury
services,
one
of
the
few
ways
that
government
can
actually
press
you
into
service
the
other
course
being
military
service.
So
it
is
a
is
a
civic
duty.
C
This
week
we
have
three
juries
going,
including
one
two
week,
two
or
three
week,
I
think
it's
a
medical
malpractice
case
that
went
through
a
lot
of
jurors
before
they
finally
selected
a
panel
yesterday.
So
I
don't
know
how
you
want
to
discuss
that.
If
this
is
the
appropriate
time
or
you've
have
the
information
from
what
Anita
did.
As
far
as
the
survey
in
your
packet
there
and
I
don't
know,
we
talked
about
some
numbers
but
I'll
leave
it
up
to
committee.
D
Thanks
for
just
the
the
background
how
this
evolved,
Mr
eckhoff
called
me
and
said
that
he
had
talked
to
some
constituents
about
the
pay
and
I
seem
to
remember.
You
know
back
in
2015
or
16
that
that
being
adopted,
that
that
pay
rate
and
it
it
always
seemed
to
me
that
in
the
back
of
my
head
that
it
was
very
low
because
at
the
time
you
may
remember,
we
were
15
million
dollars
in
the
hole
as
far
as
spending
next
year's
tax
money
this
year
to
pay
bills.
D
So
it
was
the
death
spiral
and
I.
Maybe
that
was
the
logic
or
poor
logic
behind
that
low
number,
but
I
I
think
in
the
email
and
I
emailed
the
judge
to
talk
to
him
about
it.
What
his
thoughts
were
and
first
verify
that
it
was
right
because
it
sounded
just
ridiculously
low
and
I
think
what
we
came
back
with
was
recommending
putting
in
some
type
of
a
a
resolution
that
it
was
the
IRS
rate.
D
I
I
looked
through
a
a
counties,
Association
book
to
get
some
of
that
information
as
well
on
the
fly.
So
it's
in
the
the
15
range.
Do
you
remember,
judge
what
it
was
and
if
they
got
called
back
that
it
became
20
bucks
a
day
or
I
know
we
can
research
it
and
we
could
send
it
to
finance,
for
you
know
what
those
numbers
should
be,
and
maybe
that's
the
action
that
we
take
today
is
is
do
we
want
to
adjust
the
fees
based
on
that
kind
of
thought,
process,
judge
yeah.
C
I
I,
don't
we
talked
about
a
lot
of
different
numbers,
but
yeah
there
were
two
numbers,
my
recollection
was
it
was
20
a
day
and
then
we
did
talk
about
maybe
25
if
they
were
actually
seated,
but
it's
really
wide
open.
You
can
leave
it
the
same.
You
can
pay
as
much
as
you
want.
You
can
kind
of
be
in
the
Middle
where,
where
the
whole
state
of
Illinois
is
that
would
be
in
the
15
to
20
range
a
day.
E
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
go
ahead
good
morning,
Mr
your
honor,
so
this
went
ahead
and
came
about.
Like
Andy
said
one
of
my
constituents
reached
out
to
me.
Multiple
of
them
did
and
they
were
a
little
upset
with
the
the
mile,
the
amount
that
they
would
have
received.
One
lady
received
seven
dollars
and
fifty
cents
and
another
one
received
eight
dollars.
E
C
F
I
would
recommend
going
that
direction
where
you
just
give
them
a
flat
rate,
so
we're
not
doing
two
different
checks
for
the
mileage,
and
for
that
because
the
mileage
is
going
to
be
I
mean
not
very
much
and
I'd
rather
just
do
a
flat
fee.
So
we're
not
sending
out
two
checks
and
that
kind
of
thing,
if
we're
going
to
raise
it
between
20
and
25
somewhere
in
there
would
be
my
recommendation.
C
Okay,
I
guess,
if
someone
is,
you
know
from
Grant
Park
and
they're
driving
20
miles
in
20
miles
out
so
40
miles
a
day
and
if
they
serve,
you
know
10
days
a
longer
trial,
which
is
somewhat
unusual
but
400
miles.
You
know:
do
they
get
ten
dollars
or
five
dollars
the
same
as
the
person
that
lives
you
know
on
300,
North
Greenwood,
that's.
E
D
D
G
D
Chairman
wheel,
I
just
say
that
I
think
we
should
run
the
numbers
and
see
what
this
the
yearly
cost
is.
Okay,
we
can't
be
higher
than
kill,
County
and
I.
Believe
cook
was
30.
I'm,
not
looking
at
the
map
here,
they're
the
the
Sheep,
but
I
thought
it
was
30
a
week
kid
they
just
make
up
their
own
laws
and
charge
their
people
more
taxes
to
cover
that.
D
A
A
G
H
A
H
H
So,
like
the
judge
said,
the
rooms
down
in
the
basement
are
are
finished
and
then
we're
waiting
on
my
furniture
for
my
office
I
believe
it's
supposed
to
be
delivered
this
week.
So
then,
hopefully,
by
the
end
of
the
month,
we
will
be
moved
in
in
that
part
of
the
office,
so
I
think
they're
looking
forward
to
it
with
their
new
space.
So
that'll
be
a
good
thing.
So.
D
Thank
you
we're
waiting
after
talking
with
the
chief
judge
on
that
we're
waiting
until
after
we
do
the
Ada
upgrade
or
fix.
If
you
will
in
Sandy's
offices
up
there
and
then
once
that's
done,
then
we'll
show
off
the
whole
thing,
the
ramp,
the
everything
we've
done
over
the
past
two
years,
a
larger
event,
I've
talked
to
options
about
coming
because
a
lot
of
what's
spearheaded,
obviously
the
the
work
there
was
the
Ada
issues.
A
H
You
know
it's
just
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
sitting
at
the
computer
all
day
long.
It's
it's
a
lot
of
talking
back
and
forth,
we're
trying
to
learn
a
new
language
and
trying
to
see
what
they
you
know.
They
call
a
book.
We
call
a
ledger,
you
know,
or
something
and
just
getting
the
lingo
down
pat
and
getting
things
lined
up
this
week,
we're
working
on
the
financials,
so
we've
entered
like
so
so
this
report
that
you
get
this
long.
H
This
big
three-page
report
we
had
to
enter
all
of
those
entities
in
this
week
and
you
know
things
like
tenders,
whether
it's
cash
check
credit
card
which
credit
cards
so
we're
still
creating
these
reports
and
then
I'm
I,
don't
know
where
we
are
going
next
week,
but
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
a
full
day,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
activity
and
then
what
else
did
I
want
to
talk
about?
I?
Think
that's
it
questions.
I
H
With
the
project,
oh,
it's
going
well,
it's
like
I
said
it's
it's
their
language
and
their
lingo
on
how
their
system
is
set
up
and
what
we
use.
Currently,
you
know
it's
just
a
software
system
that
we're
trying
to
learn.
You
know
what
they,
what
how
they
do
things
and
then
how
it
works,
how
we
understand
how
ours
works
and
then
how
we're
going
to
make
it
all
better.
You.
A
A
J
You
I'm
pretty
good.
How
are
you
I'm
good
sorry,
you
can
see.
We
had
38
cases
go
to
Grand
Jury
The
39
came
out.
One
was
in
amended
indictment
that
brought
us
up
to
396
on
the
year
we
had
53
go
through
in
the
final
grand
jury
session
of
May,
so
that
was
a
significant
number
of
cases
to
do
on
one
day
we're
up
to
396,
that's
about
60,
to
65
cases
over
where
we
were
at
same
time
last
year.
J
So
up
a
little
bit,
but
I've
noticed
that
we've
been
bringing
more
cases
to
each
grand
jury
session,
we're
caught
up,
so
we
don't
have
a
backlog
of
cases
that
still
need
to
go.
So
we're
thankful
for
that.
Finally,
at
long
last,
pretty
good-
that's
all
I
have
any
questions.
That's
it
all
right!
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
K
Since
then
three
of
my
people
have
left
my
office
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
My
one
of
the
young
talents
has
left
to
Chicago
to
make
a
lot
more
money
than
he
can
make
here
in
any
capacity.
So
I
wish
him
well.
Another
one
went
to
the
State's
Attorney's
office.
She
was
looking
for
a
full-time
position
and
Mr
Rowe
was
able
to
meet
that
need
and
the
other
one
is
working
at
the
Appellate
Court
now,
which
is
his
live
stream
so
good
for
him.
K
But
that
creates
a
huge
situation
for
me
that
I'm
dealing
with
on
a
daily
basis,
I've
been
making
various
efforts
to
find
people
with
minimal
results.
I
have
interviewed
multiple
people,
some
of
them
just
aren't
good
fits
for
the
office
as
I
go
forward
that
may
have
to
change.
I
have
to
make
decisions
on
the
fly
as
to
what
type
of
person
is
going
to
be
working
at
my
office.
You
will
notice
on
the
report
that
the
traffic
cases
have
gone
on
dramatically.
Basically,
we
don't
consider
bench
warrants
open
cases.
K
M
I
A
M
M
A
A
L
L
You
can
also
see
in
the
second
column,
under
out
of
County.
Last
year
we
were
averaging
258
this
year
through
May
of
2023
ravaging
360.,
so
almost
100
more
a
day
of
out
of
County
inmates
and
that's
attributed
to
not
only
Champaign
County
but
to
the
U.S
Marshals
out
of
the
Northern
District
in
Chicago.
L
Their
numbers
have
gone
up
significantly
so
and
if
you
look
in
the
far
right
column,
you
can
see
that
at
this
point,
after
six
months
of
our
fiscal
year,
we're
at
1.5
million
dollars
more
this
year
than
we
were
at
this
time
last
year.
So
those
are
positive
numbers
transports
under
Section
B.
You
can
see
that
last
year
we
went
to
Chicago
116
times
for
the
northern
district
of
Illinois,
we're
already
through
six
months.
We're
already
at
98.,
so
obviously
with
the
miraculous
end
of
covet
on
May
11th.
L
L
L
L
There's
been
a
couple,
people
that
have
been
hit,
but
they've
been
injured
and
believed
to
be
recovered
from
what
we
understand.
Most
of
these
individuals
doing
the
shooting
or
juveniles
and
our
system,
our
juvenile
system,
Statewide
doesn't
hold
juveniles
very
long,
even
if
they
go
to
juvenile
department
of
corrections
and
I.
Think
Tom
can
attest
to
that.
L
I
I
L
L
L
I
L
L
L
There
were
a
number
of
bills
that
were
passed
that
you
should
probably
be
aware
of,
because
it'll
affect
us
one
way
or
the
other
and
I
won't,
there's
probably
more
than
what
I
have
listed
here,
but
these
are
the
ones
that
I
know
right
off
the
top
of
my
head
and,
and
some
of
these
may
still
be
waiting
for
the
Governor's
signature.
But
if
it's
going
to
benefit
the
criminal,
the
governor
is
probably
going
to
sign
it
so
waving
juvenile
fines
and
costs.
Juvals.
L
No
now
don't
have
to
pay
fines
and
costs
when
they
get
arrested,
which
leads
to
some
accountability,
questions,
who's,
accountable
and,
and
unfortunately,
it's
going
to
be
the
law-abiding
citizens
of
our
County
in
law.
Abiding
citizens
of
our
state
that
are
going
to
be
left
holding
the
bag
in
paying
for
the
services
that
we
provide.
L
Of
course,
the
only
problem
right
now
is
there's
nothing
in
the
bill
about
paying
for
housing,
so
that
is
at
the
discretion
of
the
sheriff
and
I
can
tell
you
as
much
as
it
would
benefit
us
if
the
state
of
Illinois
isn't
going
to
pay
us
to
house
them.
I
have
no
intention
to
take
them
because
we
can't
afford
it
so,
but
it's
out
there,
if
there's
something
where
they're
able
to
find
the
money
to
reimburse
us
for
housing
by
all
means,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
so
and
lat
yep.
L
A
L
D
D
L
A
discretion
so
and
and
just
like
we
do
now
with
the
feds
and
champagne
if
we
have,
if
they
want
to
send
us
an
individual
that
has
significant
medical
needs,
we
we
have
the
ability
to
to
say
no
okay,
which
we
would
continue
to
do.
Our
Medical
Department
is
all
over
it
because
they
don't
want
to
put
themselves
in
that
position
either
right.
There's.
L
L
From
from
that
standpoint,
because
what
I
mean
it's,
what
they're
doing
now
it
the
state
of
Illinois
with
the
Illinois
Department
of
Corrections,
is
they
are
releasing
people
as
fast
as
they
can,
because
that's
where
they're
trying
to
save
their
money
and
there's
a
number
of
reasons
for
that
too
Staffing.
They
have
the
same
staffing
issues
that
everybody
else
does
so
I
I
mean
there's,
there's
reasons
that
they're
doing
this
we're
all
dealing
with
the
same
issues
but
yeah
there's.
Definitely
liability
issues
anytime,
you're
dealing
with
somebody
who's
in
our
custody.
L
Much
and
then.
Lastly-
and
this
is
this-
one
is
I'm
not
quite
sure
they
thought
this
all
the
way
through
in
an
effort
to
help
recruit
police
officers.
They
have
now
passed
a
bill
waiting
for
the
Governor's
signature.
That
would
allow
non-citizens
to
become
police
officers
in
the
state
of
Illinois,
and
you
know
we
all
do
our
backgrounds.
We
all
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
we're
getting
the
right
people
to
be
police
officers.
Our
our
background
checks
would
certainly
be
limited
for
somebody.
L
L
L
On
the
deputy
side
correction
side,
chief
kalinzu
chief
Schultz
have
done
a
great
job
along
with
assistant
chief
Marlon
Woods,
an
assistant
chief
CeCe
azarelli
they've
done
a
great
job
in
recruiting
and
we
are
getting
close,
we're
probably
about
seven
to
eight
shorts
still,
which
is
a
significant
improvement
from
15.,
so
we're
gaining
on
it
for
everyone
we
hire,
we
lose
two.
So
it's.
D
Mr
Wheeler,
thank
you,
Sheriff,
the
I!
Guess
your
truck
detail
unit.
If
you
will,
though,
the
people
that
have
overweights
overweights
there,
you
go
yeah
I
think
we
got
pulled
over
anyway.
The
I
was
thinking
about
that.
So
the
overweight
trucks
are
they
in
the
citations
area
just
lumped
in
or
is
that
a
separate
thing
on
the
tickets
they're
riding
there
I'm
not
asking
for
it?
I'm
just
curious
It's.
L
Separate,
okay
and
there's
some
question
as
to
where
that
money
goes
because
those
fines
are
are
very
high
and
and
again,
overweight,
trucks
and
the
township.
The
township
supervisors
have
have
really
pushed
this
to
to
be
able
to
enforce
the
overweight
trucks.
There
are
things
that
truckers
can
do
to
get
permits
and
do
all
the
things
that
they
need
to
do
to
be
able
to
drive
where
they
need
to
drive.
L
A
A
A
N
You
have
words:
basically
the
numbers
that
I'm
looking
at
right
now:
I
think
you
have
that
I'm
sorry,
these
are
numbers
where
we're
at
right.
Now
in
May,
we
have
three
pending
cases
which
the
sheriff
talked
about:
the
homicides
where,
where
they
were
at
and
we're
pending,
two
otherwise
we'd
be
equal
with
him.
Everything
else
is
pretty
well.
Our
autopsies
come
up
a
little
bit
in
May
other
than
that
we're
looking
we're.
Looking
pretty
good
call
numbers
are
up.
N
A
M
E
D
D
N
A
N
We
haven't
any
anyone
more
cases
of
that.
Our
Springfield
bill
in
there
got
knocked
down
with
Mr,
Mr,
Rowe
and
I
have
put
together,
so
we'll
continue
to
try
to
get
that
out
there,
but
hopefully
that's
out
of
our
system.
We
talk
about
that
at
every
place.
We
go
about
xylazine,
so
you
know
so
we
got
rid
of
the
a
fentanyl,
but
it's
you
know
now
you're
getting
the
meth
back
and
and
the
cocaine
and
we're
starting
to
see
heroin
back
in
this
community,
but
it's
always
a
mixture
of
fentanyl
in
it.
