All
in
favor,
say
aye
same
sign.
Motion
carries
up.
Next
is
the
chief
judge.
I
have
nothing
from
the
chief
judge
this
morning
move
on
to
the
circuit
clerk's
office.
In
your
package.
I
have
a
copy
of
the
monthly
reports
from
sandy.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
mr
long
seconded
by
mr
smith,
comments
on
your
report.
Sandy.
E
E
C
Sandy
steve
hunter
here
last
time,
I
posed
a
question
to
you
regarding
the
implementation
of
your
computer
system.
You
said
that
been
taken
some
years
for
implementation,
had
you
ever
thought
about
identifying
what
the
vicissitudes
are
and
what
the
issues
are
regarding
implementation,
and
could
you
give
me
the
genesis
of
when
it
started
and
and
what's
your
timeline
for
completion.
A
A
C
My
apologies,
madame
clerk
for
being
preemptive.
The
question
still
remain.
You
had
articulated
at
the
last
meeting.
If
I
was
correct
that
this
has
taken
some
period
of
time.
You
know
what
are
the
roadblocks
and
the
technical
difficulties
that
you're
having
as
far
as
implementing
it,
as
well
as
the
timetable
when
you
started
the
genesis
and
when
you
hope
to
complete
it
and
have
you
called
in
for
technical
assistance
to
to
fully
implement
this
and
work
out
the
bugs.
E
E
This
is
all
for
for
all
the
civil
cases,
so
you
know
under
the
civil
cases,
there's
probably
50
or
60
different
case
types
under
the
different
categories,
and
then
from
that
there's
all
the
different
docket
codes
that
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
connected.
So
it
is
a
long
and
tedious
project.
We've
been
working
on
it
for
two
years.
We
are
the
only
county
in
the
state
of
illinois
with
court
view,
which
is
you
know,
it's
kind
of
a
situation,
but
it's
one
that
we
have
to
work
through.
E
E
Well,
we
were
supposed
to
be
integrated.
It's
been
a
little
more
than
two
years.
We
were
supposed
to
be
integrated
in
2018,
so
I
don't
have
the
exact
date
right
now
at
my
fingertips
as
to
when
the
project
started.
I
do
know
that
there
are.
You
know.
Other
counties
have
said
that
they've
had
the
same
thing:
they're
we're
not
the
only
one
that
isn't
integrated,
yet
there's,
probably
five
of
us
in
the
state,
and
they
echo
the
same
issues
that
we're
having.
C
C
E
E
The
harrison
harris
numbers
the
last
time
we
were
this
low
with
collections
was
2017,
but
I
think
this
year
well,
I
know
this
year,
they've
not
been
pushing
their
collection
efforts,
they're
being
compassionate
and
empathetic.
With
the
the
you
know,
the
way
the
world
is
right
now
and
how
people
don't
have
the
money
to
pay.
E
A
D
D
We
try
to
get
them
the
reports.
The
few
days
in
advance
of
preliminary
hearing
they've
been
so
just
professional
about
it.
If
they
believe
that,
based
on
the
reports
that
the
probable
cause
is
met,
we
may
not
proceed
to
hearing
and
in
some
instances
we
haven't
it's
that's
worked
out.
Well,
so
we're
thankful
for
that
cooperation.
Everyone
kind
of
recognizing
the
just
the
volume
of
the
case,
though
that's
coming
through
and
the
prelims
take,
can
take
up
a
lot
of
time.
D
C
Hunter,
mr
chairman,
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong
a
couple
things
jim
the
could
you
discuss
the
drug-induced
homicide
conviction
as
well
as
the
initiative
that
your
new
intern
is
making
in
in
the
community?
I
I
think
I
read
something
in
the
paper
recently
and
I
heard
him
at
a
dinner
meeting
at
senator
joyce's
initiative
over
at
paul's
before
the
shutdown.
D
A
D
D
Through
a
partnership
with
district
111,
his
job
is
to
really
do
some
outreach
with
the
community
and
again
you
know
the
focus
is
on
keeping
juveniles,
young
adults
kind
of
on
the
right
path.
He
can
speak
more.
You
know
to
his
perspective
at
the
next
meeting,
but
someone
who's
been
through
foster
care
system,
juvenile
justice
system,
the
adult
criminal
system
and
then
got
it
right
and
went
to
college
and
since
then
has
done
all
the
right
things.
D
So
I
think
he's
a
success
story
and
he's
going
to
be
able
to
hopefully
bring
that
story
and
that
reality
to
a
lot
of
other
kids
in
our
community
and
show
them
that
there
is
a
way
you
can
do
it
and
he's
a
a
great
example
of
it.
Now
the
drug
drug-induced
homicide,
I'm
not
going
to
comment
too
much
on
that,
because
the
case
is
still
pending,
there's
some
post-trial
motions
and
possibly
sentencing.
D
F
If
you
look
at
the
cost,
the
county
bears
to
do
this,
it's
minimal.
Basically,
if
we
keep
one
kid
out
of
detention,
that
pays
for
it
and
then
after
that,
it's
if
you
just
do
the
the
the
federal
reimbursement
that
we
get
math
whatever
just
use
that
as
a
baseline.
It's
exponential
down
the
road.
So
if
this,
if
we
get
10
we're
a
much
better
community,
financially
and
obviously
socially
as
well,
so
it
makes
sense
all
the
way
around.
G
I
believe
I've
had
him
as
student
at
some
point,
but
my
concern
because
I
you
know
I
I
I
I
love
the
positive
stories
and
and
most
times
people
will
hear
them.
I
come
out
of
the
projects
of
chicago,
which
is
the
robert
taylor
homes
and
certainly
know
firsthand
what
education
can
do,
because
my
mother
graduated
summa
culane,
but
then
when
she
died,
we
wind
up
in
foster
homes
and
come
through
the
story.
G
But
that
gave
me
something
on
the
positive
or
whatever,
also
being
in
the
the
boy
scouts
that
gave
me
something
on
the
positive
that
was
able
to
be
an
alternative,
and
I'm
wondering
do
we
have
the
resources
to
kind
of
have
something
that
all
sets.
I
don't
want
you
in
the
games.
Here's
here's
something
you
can
do.
Here's
the
junior
police,
here's,
the
boy
scouts,
here's
the
whatever!
So
do
we
have
resources
available
to
offset
it
once
we
tell
the
story.
D
Sure
you
know,
I
think
that
sometimes
we
we
wait
for
the
money
until
we
try
to
do
something,
and
so
then
oftentimes
the
money
doesn't
come
and
nothing
gets
done.
The
resources
we
have
hamim
is
a
resource.
District
111
has
been
a
great
resource.
You
know
we
do
have
our
three
grants
out
there.
That
would
complement
what
we're
doing
with
with
young
individuals
and
for
the
board.
The
r3
grants
the
marijuana
money,
basically
that
the
state
has
put
into
certain
regions.
So
we've
got
some
grants
out
there.
D
You
know
parents
are
a
resource,
it'd
be
great.
You
know
to
see
parents
become
more
involved
in
the
lives
of
some
of
the
kids
that
we
come
see
coming
through
our
system,
but
sometimes
you
have
young
parents
who
have
been
through
the
system
themselves
and
need
help.
So
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
resources
available
that
are
just
beyond
you
know,
dollars
and
cents,
and
if
we
can
prove
that
we
can
run
this
program
and
make
a
difference
with
those
resources.
D
I'm
sure
that
the
the
money
will
hopefully
shortly
follow
with
the
grants,
but
we
we
can't
just.
We
can't
just
do
nothing
and
wait
for
the
money
to
come
because
then
you're
going
to
have
another
school
year
go
by
and
maybe
another
kid
drop
out,
and
it's
just
going
to
be
so
much
harder
to
get
them
back
than.
If
we
take
that
approach,
we're
trying
to
do
what
we
can
do,
you
know
with
what
we
have
where
we're
at
now.
C
Mr
hunter,
not
to
debate
commissioner,
but
I
think
the
state's
attorney
articulated
a
full
partner
in
this
program
with
the
state's
attorney
our
three
grants,
as
well
as
school
district
111.,
the
impact
of
that
that's
like
another
person
on
the
ground
and
who
will
suppress
some
of
the
crime
statistics.
So
I
think,
probably
that
he's
worth
his
weight
in
goal
in
terms
of
what
I've
seen
in
the
newspaper.
C
Well,
anyway,
she's
she
sets
up
the
budget
and
and
so
forth
and
who
paid
you.
But
anyway,
I'm
not
here
to
debate
that,
commissioner,
what
I'm
saying,
though,
the
resources
are
there
and
I
think
they
pay
dividends
regarding
him,
interfacing
with
our
underserved
and
those
kids
who
are
more
prone
to
and
involve
themselves
in
male
adaptive
behavior,
and
I'm
I'm
just
saying
you
know
for
something
like
that.
We
got
to
support
it
in
any
kind
of
way.
G
G
Kids
want
to
change,
and
at
some
point
like
when
I
was
at
the
big
brothers
club,
it
was
great
as
we
were
doing
it,
but
then,
when
it
disseminated
when
the
when
and
the
grant
would
be
funded
and
things
of
that
nature,
the
kids
again
were
left
without
a
remedy
or
resolve.
And
what
I'm
saying
is
we
want
to
make
sure
something
is
constant?
Keep
the
program
get
it
going
when
I'm
saying
the
parents
getting
involved,
that's
a
tangible
benefit
in
it,
because
most
of
these
people
are
in
poverty.
G
So
we
need
to
have
something
in
place
to
keep
it
going
like
the
churches,
with
everything
so
that
that
that
program
will
not
fail,
but
that
it
will
keep
fuel
to
to
make
it
last
past
this
point
and
that
kids
won't
be
on
the
end
saying
it
was
here
now
it's
gone,
we
had
two
skating
rinks.
We
had
both
three
bowling
alleys
and
all
that
a
lot
of
that
stuff
has
been
diminished
and
that's
what
I'm
saying
we
want
to
make
sure
that
something
is
in
place.
Resources
are
in
place
to
keep
it
sustained.
A
D
I'm
excited
to
hear
that
engagement,
because
the
way
I
read
the
county
code,
the
county
board
shall
fund,
so
the
county
board
shall
fund,
if
that's
a
priority
of
the
county
board.
Let's,
let's
fund
the
heck
out
of
it.
You
know
that
it's
we're
trying
what
we
can
and
we're
trying
to
get
the
the
grant
dollars
in
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
that
this
is
sustainable.
F
F
Might
as
well
do
this
now,
since
he's
still
here
and
he
hasn't
jumped
off
the
call,
I
was
going
to
wait
till
the
sheriff
got
up
there,
but
I
have
some
questions
regarding
the
actions
that
the
city
of
kankakee
took
last
night.
What,
where
do?
I
start,
the
city
of
city
council
passed
an
ordinance
to
have.
Everybody
has
to
wear
a
mask
when
they're
outside
of
their
house?
F
Okay,
that
that's
the
the
basic
and
they
said
the
county
and
the
state
are
going
to
enforce
it.
That
was
expressly
said
by
the
mayor
and
by
tuscan
associates
what
yeah?
Well,
that's
he'll
have
his
time.
I
I
would
like
his
comment
as
well.
That's
why
I'm
asking
the
sheriff's
comment
as
well.
Describe
the
type
of
enforcement
the
state's
attorney's
office
will
do
on
the
city
of
kankakee's
new
ordinance
on
everybody
wears
a
mask
outside
the
house.
Please!
So.
D
So
I
I
did
hear
that
portion
of
the
city
council
meeting
and
I
guess
the
the
way
I
understood
it
was
they're
adopting
their
ordinance,
which
they're
able
to
do.
They
can
put
it
on
their
books,
but
their
ordinance
can
only
be
enforced
by
their
city
and
at
their
adjudication
hearing
through
their
hearing
officer.
D
So
that
that
city
ordinance
is
really
an
internal
enforcement
thing
within
the
city,
if
you
write
a
ticket
for
a
city
ordinance,
it
goes
to
their
adjudication
court,
you
get
a
hearing,
they
can
assess
the
fine
and
that's
why
that
750
dollar-
fine,
that's
where
that
actually
comes
from,
because
under
the
municipal
code,
when
you
establish
your
adjudication,
they
they
set
caps
on
fines.
I
believe
that's
actually
one
of
the
higher
or
highest
fines
that
the
city
could
assess,
but
I
think
the
comment
about
the
state
and
local
authorities
will
enforce
it.
D
A
C
C
D
D
And
at
that
point
you
know
if
that's
a
petition,
to
review
a
ruling
that
was
handed
down
in
the
adjudication,
proceeding
that
still
wouldn't
come
before
the
state's
attorney's
office.
So
so
is
the
county
or
the
state's
attorney's
office
going
to
be
enforcing
the
city's
ordinance
on
mass.
Now
we
can't,
but
are
there
other
rules
or
regulations
out
there
that
any
county
in
the
state
could
enforce?
D
I,
I
suppose
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
what
the
mayor
was
getting
at
last
night,
basically
saying
the
state
could
enforce
their
own
laws,
but
what
they're
adopting
just
kind
of
allows
the
city
to
enforce
them.
You
know
within
their
adjudication
process
or
they
could
send
the
tickets
to
the
courthouse.
I
suppose
and
prosecute
them
locally
with
their
city
attorneys.
D
That
you
know
you
you'd
really
have
to
talk
with.
You
know
the
mayor,
the
city's
attorneys
their
law
enforcement
to
see
how
they're
interpreting
that
I
don't
really
don't
want
to
speak
to
the
city's
ordinance.
I
wasn't
part
of
drafting
it.
I
haven't
reviewed
it.
It's
just
something.
That's
not
just
really
doesn't
pertain
at
all
to
the
state's
attorney's
office.
F
Mr
wheeler,
just
a
call
a
point
expect
your
fines
in
the
mail.
Where
are
we
sitting
at
we're
sitting
in
the
city
of
kankakee
without
a
mask
on
I'm
just
mentioning
it,
and
nor
will
I
put
this
on
if
I'm
within
six
feet
of
somebody
I'll
do
it
for
them,
because
I
respect
other
people's
feelings
and
opinions.
A
I
Grand
jury
is
such
a
time
saver
for
the
county
and
also,
ultimately,
you
know
for
sheriff's
deputy
personnel
for
for
local
law
enforcement.
Grand
jury
is
a
very
direct,
straightforward,
proceeding
requiring
minimal,
well
no
input
from
my
office,
and
you
know
maybe
one
officer,
maybe
two
officers
from
the
jurisdiction
with
prelims.
I
It's
it's
a
court
hearing,
and
so
every
time
a
case
is
called
instead
of
calling
it
case
after
case
after
case
like
they
do
a
grand
jury,
we
have
to
have
one
case
at
a
time.
It's
very
time
consuming,
so
the
grand
jury
is
definitely
a
benefit
and
I'm
you
know
I
agree
with
mr
rowe
that
it's
it's
good
that
we're
implementing
that
again
being
able
to
implement
that.
I
Also
regarding
the
jury
trial
that
mr
rogers
did.
I've
talked
to
about.
I
think
three
other
public
defenders
within
the
state.
We
are
one
of
the
few
counties
doing
jury
trials,
so
we
are
doing
our
best
to
you
know
cover
our
bases
as
far
as
covet
and
making
sure
that
it's
done
correctly,
but
we're
doing
it.
So
you
know
one
of
my
primary
concerns,
and
I
know
mr
rose
concerns
is,
is
not
only
backlog
but
people
in
custody
not
getting
their
trials.
I
A
H
I
stepped
in
there
good
morning.
Everyone
not
much
as
I've
said
to
you,
reported
since
june,
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
increase
our
face-to-face
contacts
every
month.
We're
doing
that,
as
you
can
see
in
the
report,
mostly
90
or
more,
are
being
done
in
the
community,
but
we're
working
on
different
plans
to
increase
context
as
we
go
forward
during
this
covet
situation.
H
You
can
also
see
drug
testing
has
increased
from
zero
collected
in
april
and
may
to
141
last
month,
but
that
stops
is
still
well
below
the
normal
300
we
collect
in
a
normal
month.
You
see,
we
have
18
individuals
on
gps,
two
of
them
are
juveniles
and
speaking
juveniles.
We
have
six
in
custody
at
river
valley
currently,
and
that's
all
I
have
regarding
the
report.
B
A
J
J
J
J
That
number
is
pretty
consistent
with
the
way
it's
been
over
the
last
just
historically,
it's
always
higher
than
the
number
we
send,
and
one
thing
I
will
add
to
what
mr
rowe,
mr
pennowick
talked
about.
The
preliminary
hearing
and
ed
touched
on
it
a
little
bit,
but
the
grand
juries
we
don't
have
to
bring
the
inmate
to
a
to
the
grand
jury.
J
The
preliminary
hearings,
though,
as
as
mr
penawak
said,
our
hearings
and
we
are
required
to
do
that.
We
can't
do
that
over
video.
So
when
we
were
doing
those
preliminary
hearings
pretty
regularly
during
covid,
it
was
tying
up
jail
staff
patrol
staff
to
have
inmates
from
the
jail
brought
over
to
the
courthouse
for
those
hearings.
So
now
that
we're
back
to
grand
juries,
hopefully
that'll
ease
our
workload
a
little
bit,
but
it
was.
J
The
preliminary
hearings
are
a
burden
on
our
staff
for
for
those
hearings
that
take
place,
questions
on
the
corrections
side,
a
couple
positives
on
the
sworn
side,
although
we
wish
it
were
zero
through
august
of
this
year,
we've
had
six
fatal
accidents
in
the
county.
Last
year
we
had
24
during
the
year
so
that
number
trends
down.
Obviously
the
perfect
number
for
us
would
be
zero
and
that's
what
we
hoped
for,
but
unfortunately
we
are
at
six
this
year.
J
Our
calls
for
service
on
the
patrol
side
have
increased
significantly
and
we're
up
about
7
000
calls
from
this
same
time
last
year,
so
that's
significant
for
for
our
deputies
out
on
the
street
civil
process.
That
number
is
down
for
a
couple
of
reasons:
number
one:
the
courthouse
was
closed
for
a
period
of
time,
so
there
are
no
court
hearings,
so
we
were
serving
no
papers
for
court
dates
and
at
this
point
there
were
no
evictions,
no
sheriff's
sales,
so
we're
not
serving
papers
for
those
either.
So
those
numbers.
A
B
J
I
know
people
were
taking
better
care
of
their
animals,
but
our
our
animal
population
march
and
april
were
were
almost
nil.
We
weren't
entirely
empty,
but
you
know
we
had
a
few
animals
as
as
we've
opened
up.
So
is
our
shelter
and
we
are,
you
know,
back
to
close
to
getting
full
again,
but
you
know
they're,
maintaining
they
are
getting
animals
out
that
are
adoptable
and
getting
them
to
shelters
that
can
adopt
them
and
adopt
them
out
to
good
homes
and
the
last
issue
I'll
mention
just
briefly.
J
Animal
control,
I
believe,
has
four
vehicles,
all
of
which
are
significantly
aged
and
we
are
putting
together
a
proposal
to
kind
of
update
our
fleet.
If
you
will,
as
we
get
to
that
point
like
we
did
with
our
squad
cars,
where
we're
putting
more
money
into
animal
control
vehicles
than
it
would
cost
to
almost
buy
a
new
one.
So
we
will
bring
something
back
if
we,
if
we
don't
get
it
to
finance,
we'll
bring
it
back
here.
A
C
Hunter
yeah
I
happen
to
watch
the.
I
don't
know
how
they
even
describe
it:
the
council
meeting
last
night.
There
was
an
issue
that
came
up
about
a
bill
and
evidently
the
the
aldermen
are
not
were
the
fact
that
there
was
a
bill
submitted
by
the
county
for
animal
control
and
they
were
they
were
kind
of
like
scratching
their
heads.
Not
knowing
you
know
what
is
this
about.
C
You
know
they
don't
seem
to
understand
that
that
when
code
enforcement
calls
or
the
police
call
you
guys
respond,
and
for
that
response
you
submit
a
bill
for
the
services
that
that
you
provide
my
question.
I
I
think
the
last
meeting
you
were
working
on
some
contracts
with
other
entities,
villages
and
so
forth.
Where
are
you
with
those
contracts.
J
So
last
I
believe,
last
month
I
think
we
said
we
were
shoring
up
some
language
which
we
we've
got
shored
up.
The
question
now
becomes
for
the
agencies.
What
exactly
do
they
want
us
to
do?
Do
they
want
us
to
just
focus
on
dogs
or
do
they
want
us
to
focus
on
both?
And
so
that's
the
question
that
we
are
sending
back
to
these
all
the
municipalities,
because
they'll
be
different.
Some
will
want
us
to
deal
with
dogs
and
cats.
C
C
J
Been
a
while
yeah
right
so
anyway,
so
yeah,
so
they
are
in
the
process
and
carrie
and
I
are
kerry,
laird
and
I
are
getting
set
to
bourbon
a
is
probably
the
first
one.
They've
shown
the
most
interest,
although
we
have
discussed
with
every
municipality
that
option
and
all
seem
very
interested,
and
it's
just
a
matter
of
probably
getting
the
proposal
to
bourbon
a
first
and
letting
their
trustees
sign
it
and
then
move
forward
with
bradley
city
of
kankakee
and
those
and
those
other
municipalities
do.
J
J
If,
if
the
city
police
get
called
to
a
house
with
an
animal,
the
city
police
can't
call
us
they
have
to
go
through
code
enforcement,
so
they
call
code
code,
calls
us.
We
want
to
streamline
all
that
and
take
everybody
out
of
the
picture
and
just
be
able
to
respond
to
do
what's
best
for
the
animal
and
the
people
that
are
where
they're
at
so
yeah.
It's
it's
quite
confusing
with
each
municipality
that
we're
dealing
with.
F
Wheeler.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
found
that
comment
surprising
last
night,
mr
hunter,
when
I
was
watching
that
as
well,
especially
since
I
believe
d
regas
and
our
former
animal
control
administrator
went
over
there
and
spoke
to
the
city
council
during
the
term
of
all
the
people
who
were
questioning
it
did.
F
I
A
J
I
think
the
last
bill
I
sent
the
total
was
ended
up
being
267
or
something
that
was
last
month.
It
was
last
month's
and
then
so
when
we
brought
these
individuals
the
doc.
Obviously,
that
number
is
down
just
so,
and
I
it's
a
good
point,
because
we
ended
up
bringing
the
four
we
had
left.
We
ended
up
being
able
to
bring
them.
J
We
were
able
to
get
the
appropriate
quarantining.
The
appropriate
testing,
which
we
didn't
think
would
be
possible
but
credit
to
the
hospitals
for
expediting
the
testing
for
us
and
we
were
able
to
get
rid
of
the
last
get
rid
of
that's,
probably
a
bad
term,
but
transfer
the
four
individuals,
two
females,
two
males
to
different
facilities,
so
the
the
the
remainder
of
that
is
going
to
be
minimal.
Okay,
but
that's
not
to
say
that
somebody
gets
sentenced
now
and
we
hold
them.
J
C
C
Okay-
and
you
know
back
in
the
day
when
they
had
a
map
of
the
of
the
city.
They
had
pins
on
and
different
color
pins
on,
where
the
shootings
and
the
different
crimes
transpire.
I
thought
they.
You
know
that
would
depict
what's
going
on
in
the
city
and
at
times
types
of
crime
and
so
forth,
and
they
have
the
empirical
evidence.
C
C
Do
they
consult
with
you
and
they
consult
it
with
you
regarding
some
of
those
initiatives,
because,
like
this
weekend,
something
transpired-
and
there
were
five
four
or
five
cop
cars
in
my
block
and
next
door.
I
have
a
widower
east
of
me.
I
have
a
widower
down
the
street.
There
are
two
other
widowers
on
my
block
and,
of
course,
my
phone
calls.
You
know.
C
C
J
J
So
it's
all
computerized
right
where
you
know
you
can
pull
up
in
tyler
technology's
new
world
that
we
use
that
everybody
in
the
county
uses.
Has
that
capability
to
see
where
not
just
gunshots,
but
anything
whether
it's
burglaries,
whether
it's
criminal
damage
you
can.
You
can
see
all
of
that
where
it's
happening
as
far
as
anything
that
we've
been
involved
with
with
their
with
their
grant.
C
And
do
you
have
a
mobile
camera?
I
know
there
were
some
idiots
across
the
street
from
me
who
were
committing
crimes
in
in
romo
park.
They
tried
to
break
in
my
neighbor's
house
who
was
104
and
she
keeps
her
lights
on
on
the
front
porch
and
the
back
porch,
and
I
raised
a
thousand
dollars
with
the
hell
about
it
and
it
and
it
kind
of
fell
on
deaf
ears.
Regarding
that
it
goes
back
a
little
ways,
and
I
was
wondering,
do
you?
C
J
A
A
K
K
Already,
if
you
look
at
the
autopsy
line,
you'll
see
that
in
the
entire
year
so
far,
we've
had
90
autopsies
keep
in
mind
that
last
year
we
were
at
89
for
the
entire
year,
so
we
will
definitely
be
over
that
the
last
seven
days
we've
done
nine
autopsies
alone.
So
it's
been
incredibly
busy.
The
average
amount
of
autopsies
this
year
has
been
right
around
10,
so
you
can
expect
autopsies
in
the
month
of
september
to
be
significantly
higher
than
any
other
month
this
year.
K
What
else
eric
just
wanted
to
give
a
brief
update
on
overdoses,
we're
currently
sitting
at
36
confirmed
overdose
cases
for
the
year
with
five
additional
pending
cases?
We're
100
confident
will
be
eventually
added
to
that
total.
The
average
age
continues
to
be
right
around
40
years
old.
Keep
in
mind
that
in
2017
we
had
56
overdoses
for
the
year
and
as
of
right
now,
if
you
factor
out
where
we're
at
versus
what's
left
for
the
year,
we're
on
target
to
be
right
around
52,
so
we'll
be
very
close
to
that.
K
56
number
we've
already
overpassed
last
year's
number
of
29
and
also
29
and
18.,
so
those
are
definitely
things
that
we're
continuing
to
look
at
and
keep
a
close
eye
on.
As
far
as
covet
does
we
stand
at
71
in
the
county,
the
average
age
of
those
deaths
is
81
years
old.
In
the
month
of
august,
there
were
four
total
cova
deaths
in
our
county,
and
we've
had
one
thus
far
in
september.
F
K
We
did
iroquois
county
pays
our
county,
a
facility
rental
fee,
and
then
they
hire
our
doctor
to
complete
the
autopsy.
So
the
only
involvement
that
we
have
in
that
case
is
the
fact
that
they
used
our
facility.
Everything
else
goes
through
iraq
county.
We
have
nothing
to
do
with
anything
that
transpire
down
there
or
whatever
the
end
result
will
be
from
that
case
sure.
K
K
K
C
Just
a
follow-up
to
that,
because
I
was
whispering
back
to
the
chairman
regarding
those
two
ops
autopsies
in
our
iroquois
county
in
one
seca,
you
know
been
quite
a
bit
of
huffalo
hullabaloo
on
on
facebook
about
you
know
allegations
about
what
transpired
down
there.
Now
you
indicated,
and
one
of
the
questions
I
posed
to
the
chairman
was
the
autopsies.
C
K
K
Smith,
I
want
to
point
out
one
more
thing.
You
know
in
the
last
number
of
years
we've
been
really
involved
in
a
lot
of
community
things
and
with
the
pandemic
this
year,
that
just
hasn't
happened.
So
we've
had
to
turn
to
some
other
sources
of
engaging
with
the
public,
and
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
our
website
has
become
a
really
popular
point
of
interest
for
a
lot
of
people.
K
We've
been
updating
that
daily
with
statistics
not
only
on
overdoses
and
covet
motor
vehicle
accidents,
suicides,
those
types
of
things-
and
I
found
it
interesting
that
in
2019
throughout
the
entire
year
we
have
4
620
page
views.
In
the
month
of
august
alone,
we
had
7
702,
so
a
significant
increase
in
viewership
on
there,
as
well
as
on
social
media,
where,
in
the
last
14
days,
we've
engaged
with
57
100
people
and
in
the
last
couple
months,
over
300
000
people.
K
G
They
saw
in
the
journal,
I
believe,
is
what
they
said,
that
there
was
like
83
white,
seven
percent
african-american
breakdown,
and
they
didn't
know
where
they
got
that
information,
because
they
did
not
see
it
on
cdc,
neither
on
the
county
website.
So
could
you
direct
me,
so
I
can
tell
them
where
that
breakdown
would
be
via
ethnicity.
I'm.
K
K
C
Mr
hunter
yeah,
just
one
final
comment:
I
think
it
was
snipes
refreshment
memory.
I
had
the
responsibility
with
the
naacp.
We
had
a
opioids
panel
that
consisted
of
the
state's
attorney
the
coroner
kmag
and
I
think,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
deputy
chief
willie
hunt,
we
would
like
to
see
you
guys
do
that
again.
C
We
had
a
very
good
participation
of
lay
people,
professional
people,
a
rainbow
of
folks
who
were
there
and
they
received
rave
reviews
and
the
county
representation
on
the
panel
was
substantial
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
happen
again
and
maybe
I'll
talk
to
the
sheriff.
I
think
the
sheriff
was
there
too
and
we'd
like
to
see
those
guys
revisit
that
and
and
present
some
more
information.
Some
updates,
but
I
just
want
to
you
know,
take
my
hat
off
to
you
guys.
You
guys
did
a
hell
of
a
job.
It
was
very,
very
informative.
F
Thank
you
I'll
try
to
make
it
brief.
We
got
paid
for
the
first
courthouse
grant,
so
we
got
our
160
plus
thousand
dollars
from
the
state.
For
you
know,
the
circle
drive
the
ada
improvements
handrails,
all
that
stuff
we
did
over
at
the
courthouse.
We
we
spent
probably
another
40
40
000.
On
top
of
that,
because
we
figured
since
we
had
to
take
everything
down
for
the
circle
drive
we
might
as
well
fix
it
for
the
next
40
years,
hopefully
obviously
asphalt.
Patching
aside,
you
know
for
the
major
structural
issues.
F
F
You
know,
as
far
as
you
know,
the
resources
are
pledged
from
the
the
sales
or
the
the
income
tax
issue,
but
if
hopefully
rest
outside
of
that,
so
I
would
hope
that
you
know
this
board.
Will
we
know
what
we
need
to
do
over
there?
There
are
still
improvements
and
it's
a
100
plus
year
old,
building
inside
where
there's
some
things
we
need
to
do,
but
it's
brick
and
mortar.
It's
not
computer
systems.
F
It's
not
anything
else,
so
know
that
we'll
be
addressing
that
billion
grounds
coming
up
in
the
future,
but
I
thought
it
was
good
news.
They
the
last
time
we
got
a
grant
from
the
state,
they
never
paid
it.
We
spent
the
money
and
they
never
paid
us
back
correct
and
this
time
they
actually
did
it
so
go
buy
a
lottery
ticket.
