Is
there
any
other
public
comment?
Any
other
public
comment
go
on
for
the
approval
of
minutes
of
june
10
2020.
Take
a
motion,
mr
byrne
seconded
by
mr
smith.
All
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Motion
carries
chief
judge,
nothing
for
the
chief
judge
this
morning
up
next
circuit
clerk,
miss
cianci
in
your
package.
You
have
a
copy
of
the
monthly
reports.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
mr
eckoff.
G
Good
morning,
no
nothing
on
that
report.
I
don't
have
a
copy
of
that
with
me.
I
forgot
to
bring
one.
So
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
research
it
and
get
back
to
you
later.
G
So
we
are
still
working
on
the
civil
integration.
G
We
had
a
couple
of
hiccups
about
two
weeks
ago,
but
they're
on
the
mend
and
it's
just
a
very
tedious
project
and
we
are
testing
the
various
case
types
to
make
sure
that
different
motions
and
petitions
you
know,
connect
when
being
received
from
one
and
integrated
into
the
other
system.
So
there's
lots
of
nuts
and
bolts
to
it,
but
we're
getting
there.
So
I
know
it's
a
broken
record,
but
it's
it
is
what
it
is
so
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
with
that.
G
G
Thank
you
have
a
great
day
bones.
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
too.
Last
month
you
had
asked
me
about
the
traffic
citations
you
know
and
what
the
rate
was
during
the
coven
when
we
were
slowing
down
in
court
and
I
queried
march
30th
through
may
31st
of
this
year
and
last
year
this
year
we
had
978
citations
issued
and
in
2019
we
had
2849.
G
A
H
E
Documents
in
front
of
you,
but
the
amount
that
you
show
318
115
for
revenue
collected,
that's
pretty
close
to
a
usual
amount.
Isn't
it.
G
E
G
Well,
we
are
still
collecting
people
are
coming.
In
the
other
day
we
had
a
guy
come
in
and
pay
like
three
thousand
dollars
worth
of
tickets,
so
you
know
they're
doing
it
and
they
are
bringing
cash
and
it
takes
a
long
time.
It
took
the
clerk
about
45
minutes
to
an
hour
to
get
it
all
done,
because
you
have
to
do
each
one
individually
and
then
create
the
releases
so
that
they
can
go
to
the
dmv.
I
We
do
not
have
a
grand
jury
report
because
we've
not
been
holding
grand
jury
proceedings.
You
may
know
that
the
alternative
to
a
grand
jury
proceeding
to
bring
a
felony
into
court
is
to
go
to
preliminary
hearing.
Those,
of
course
require
us
to
set
court
dates.
Bring
officers
to
court
have
hearings,
so
you
can
only
really
schedule
so
many
of
those
at
a
time
as
you
can
imagine,
because
we're
not
bringing
everything
in
for
a
preliminary
hearing
stuff
is
starting
to
back
up
a
little
bit
in
our
office.
I
So
we
are
going
to
have
two
grand
jury
sessions
coming
up
here
soon,
just
to
kind
of
clear
out
that
backlog,
it's
going
to
be
done
in
a
very
safe,
socially
distanced
manner.
It'll
all
be
done
over
well
at
a
location
where
there'll
be
plenty
of
room
for
them
to
socially
distance
and
and
maintain
that
distance
throughout
not
only
selection,
but
also
the
hearings
beyond
that
we're
just
trying
to
get
caught
up
and
get
back
into
the
swing
of
things.
H
I
You
just
gotta
pull
put
a
little
salt
in
that
wound.
Don't
you
it
really.
You
know
we're
devastated,
because
once
kovitt
hit
everything
kind
of
fell
apart,
it
seemed
we
had
finally
got
our
first
group
of
mentors
through
they
were
trained,
they
got
all
their
certificates.
We
were
ready
to
go
and
make
the
matches,
and
literally
a
week
later,
courthouse
had
to
shut
down,
and
we
no
way
we
could
put
the
mentees
in
close
proximity
with
the
mentors.
I
I
I'm
hoping
so
most
of
the
schools
are
willing
to
accommodate
the
mentors
to
meet
with
the
mentees
in
the
school
socially
distanced.
Of
course
that's
going
to
depend
now
on
what
the
school
schedules
look
like,
and
I
think
you
in
the
classroom.
So
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
different
to
coordinate
it,
but
the
team
that
we
have
you
know
that's
that
americorps
funded
grant
so
dylan,
who
is
the
coordinator
for
that
program,
he's
doing
a
great
job
along
with
cheryl.
H
On
a
positive
note,
we
kind
of
follow
the
young
man
that
you
mentored
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
he's
completed
his
first
year
of
college.
A
F
Unless
there's
some
questions,
I
really
don't
have
any
comments,
we're
trying
to
get
everything
moving
again.
I've
spoken
to
my
staff
regarding
you
know
just
trying
to
get
things
back
to
normal
or
starting
to
get
things
back
to
normal,
we're
all
back,
obviously
for
some
time
now,
but
the
numbers
just
aren't
catching
up
yet
everyone
involved
the
court
system.
Mr
rowe,
everyone's
on
the
same
page,
I
think,
as
far
as
how
we
want
to
go
forward
and
get
this
get
these
cases
resolved.
F
But
you
know
this
there's
always
a
thousand
different
things
that
affect
a
negotiation
or
a
case
as
it
goes
through
the
court
system,
but
other
than
that,
unless
I
haven't
there's
no
there's
any
questions.
I've
really
got
nothing
to
add
today.
J
Mr
general,
steve
hunter
and
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
for
me
being
part
of
county
government
in
this
committee,
ed
how
many
staff
do
you
have
and
what's
the
the
the
racial
breakdown.
F
First
of
all,
congratulations,
mr
hunter.
Thank
you
good
to
have
you
here.
Second
of
all,
I
think
we
have
a
pr.
I
should
know
the
answer
to
that
question.
Obviously,
approximately
13
attorneys,
the
majority
of
them,
are
part
time.
We
currently
have
two
african-american
attorneys
one
is
leaving
for
the
state's
attorney's
office.
At
the
end
of
the
month,
I
had
to
post
his
position
so
that
will
be
vacant
and
I'll
be
interviewing
for
that
position.
Shortly.
F
We've
got
three
or
four
three
clerical
staff,
one
of
whom
is
african-american.
One
is
hispanic.
We
have
a
one
full-time
investigator
and
one
part-time
investigator.
The
full-time
investigator
is
african-american
and
the
rest
are
that
look
at
my
numbers
right
here.
I
think
three
female
attorneys
and
the
rest
are
white.
Males.
F
Got
an
edge
well
she's,
very
informal,
but
she's
a
third
year
law
student.
She
is
an
intern.
She
comes
in
whenever
she
can
and
she's
been
very
helpful
with
the
office
filling
in
some
on
him
some
spots,
but
we
were
working
on
that
through
primarily
well.
Both
casey
cnn
olivet,
but
obviously
covet
happens.
That
kind
of
put
a
kibosh
and
all
of
that.
A
A
K
Just
that
you
can
see
in
the
totals
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
report.
Our
contacts
have
doubled
since
last
month,
which
is
a
good
thing,
but
a
lot
of
those
are
phone
contacts,
not
in
person
contacts
and
it's
still
well
short
of
what
we
normally
would
be
doing.
K
We
normally
would
have
3
000
contacts
on
a
regular
month
before
the
pandemic,
but
we're
working
slowly
towards
regular
operations,
doing
more
field
contacts
right
now
than
we
were
before,
but
hopefully
we
won't
have
a
setback
and
we
can
just
keep
moving
along
and
eventually
right
now
coming
into.
The
building
is
only
a
high
risk
individuals
we're
slowly
going
to
try
to
expand
that
over
over
time.
I
don't
know
the
timetable
on
that,
but
our
staff
is
doing
a
wonderful
job
of
keeping
track
of
these
individuals
considering
the
circumstances.
A
I
got
one
quick
question
for
the
juveniles
in
detention
as
of
7
13
you've
got
5-3.
What's
that.
H
One,
the
at
the
river
valley,
detention
center
does
that
is
there
where
there
is
a
cause,
but
is
there
a
possibility
in
order
to
reduce
costs
that
the
person
could
be
on
ankle
bracelets,
or
is
it
to
the
point
that
they
have
to
be
detained.
K
I
A
A
L
All
right,
everybody
got
the
monthly
report.
A
couple
highlights
from
the
report.
L
L
L
So
those
are
the
three
top
charges
that
people
are
brought
into
the
jail
for.
L
L
The
out
of
county
numbers,
our
average
daily
population
last
june
of
2019
was
382,
which
includes
u.s
marshals
and
ice,
and
our
average
daily
population
through
june
of
2000
or
2020,
is
227,
so
we're
down
significantly
in
our
out
of
county,
the
main
reason
being
that
we
have
stopped
taking
u.s
marshals
and
ice
detainees.
L
I
believe
that
that
will
start
to
change
a
little
bit,
at
least
with
the
marshals
they're
starting
their
court
up
just
like
we
are
here,
and
so
there's
going
to
be
some
transports
that
we'll
do
and
I'm
sure
there'll
be
significant
arrests
up
there.
I'm
sure
that
the
u.s
marshals
in
chicago
who
have
been
in
their
office
like
most
others
most
everybody
else
will
be
out
in
the
field
soon
enough,
and
I
suspect
those
numbers
will
will
start
to
jump
a
little
bit.
L
Our
transports
obviously
are
down
significantly
we're
not
really
going
anywhere
other
than
to
the
courthouse
in.
L
Under
sworn
services,
traffic
details
having
our
traffic
details
have
increased
through
an
idot
grant.
That
pays
for
our
guys
to
be
out
doing
traffic
details
which
has
begun
to
increase
our
citations
and
warnings.
L
L
Obviously
we
want
that
number
to
zero,
but
hopefully
we
can
stay
at
five,
the
rest
of
the
year
and
continue
to
keep
that
number
down
and
the
last
section
under
revenue,
our
average,
including
housing,
overtime,
inmate
telephone
and
other
revenue,
totals
averages
about
970
thousand
dollars
a
month.
L
Obviously
there's
a
significant
decrease.
I
know
the
last
two
months
we're
right
around
660
or
600
000
a
month,
so
those
numbers
have
gone
down
significantly,
so
that
will
affect
obviously
the
long-term
number,
but
again
when
you're
not
taking
new
ones,
that's
going
to
have
an
effect
on
it.
So
questions
on
the
report,
any
questions.
J
J
Anyway,
for
my
spanish
friends,
el
agua
is
a
sheriff
he's
a
friend
of
mine
and
I
won't
speak
any
more
spanish,
but
something
that
transpired
yesterday
right
after
I
was,
I
was
sworn
in.
I
based
upon
that
particular
activity.
You
know
I
was
attacked,
mr
hunter.
A
J
So,
and-
and
let
me
just
ask
you
this
sheriff:
do
you
interface
with
connect
regarding
the
stats
at
all,
because
there's
some
misunderstanding
regarding
it
appears
that
they
think
that
you
have
just
tons
and
tons
of
ice
detainees
and
and
from
this
empirical
data
that
you
have
here.
That's
not
the
not
accurate.
M
That
was
a
specific
reason
that
I
started
doing.
That
is
putting
those
numbers
on
publishing
them,
as
he's
talking
about
them
right.
So
the
public
couldn't
say
that
we
weren't
reporting
the
numbers
on
a
regular
basis.
It
used
to
be
that
we
just
got
this
piece
of
paper
and
for
the
past
year
and
a
half
that's
been
up
on
the
screen
each
and
every
time
he
talks
yeah.
A
Once
again,
you
jumped
over
your
prison
detainees,
going
to
prison,
oh
yeah,
and
what's
released,
how
many
do
we
have
that
are
yeah
they're
still
holding.
L
H
L
L
So
once
again,
the
governor
of
illinois
has
overstepped
his
bounds,
which
is
pretty
much
habit
now,
and
so
we
are
stuck
with
about
25
inmates
who
have
been
sentenced
to
the
only
department
of
corrections
and
unable
to
be
transported
there,
because
they
won't
take
them
because
of
covid,
even
though,
as
as
I've
kept,
you
guys
advised-
and
I
realized
some
facilities
may
not
be
as
fortunate,
but
we
don't
have
inmates
with
coven
knock
on
wood,
but
the
only
department
of
corrections
has
chosen
not
to
take
them
now.
This
works
two
ways.
L
People
think
well,
that's
probably
a
smart
move
because
of
kovi,
but
the
problem
is
kankakee.
County
taxpayers
are
now
paying
for
them
to
stay
here
instead
of
the
state
of
illinois.
So
at
some
point,
they're
going
to
come
out
and
say
well:
the
state
of
illinois
saved
all
this
money.
Well,
yeah.
They
saved
all
this
money,
but
each
local
jurisdiction
had
to
spend
it.
L
It's
a
it's,
a
typical
unfunded
mandate
that
the
state
of
illinois
is
is
known
for
so
for
those
that
don't
know
he
has
extended,
the
governor
has
extended
those
executive
orders
continually,
which
we
all
know
that
that's
going
to
court
and
he's
been
ruled
against
and
it's
appealed
and
it's
who
knows
what's
going
to
happen
with
it.
L
But
the
bottom
line
is
they
are
still
not
taking
those
inmates
and
we
have
over
25,
including
the
ones
that
have
been
sentenced
and
the
ones
who
have
an
illinois
department
of
corrections
warrant
for
violating
their
parole
that
are
in
our
custody.
That
should
be
in
the
custody
department
of
corrections.
L
So
the
illinois
sheriff's
association
has
sued
the
state
of
illinois
and
the
governor
because
of
his
violation
of
statute,
and
I
actually
sent
the
beginning
of
july.
I
sent
the
state
of
illinois
a
bill
for
housing
for
what
totaled
about
167
thousand
dollars
from
housing
from
march
26,
which
is
the
day
the
executive
order
took
effect
through
june
30th
and
again,
we're
still
accumulating
bills
because
we
still
have
those
guys
and
the
email
I
got
back
was
thank
you
for
your
email.
We
cannot
discuss
this
issue
because
it's
pending
litigation.
D
Think,
mr
chairman
sheriff
answered
the
question.
I
was
going
to
ask
what
the
cost
to
the
county
taxpayers
currently
is
that.
L
A
L
Lieutenant
andy
bastian
took
over
for
him
as
he
moved,
as
as
chief
kester
moved
over
patrol
and
his
assistant,
and
especially
during
this
last
three
or
four
months,
has
been
becky
powell,
who
has
done
outstanding
work
as
the
as
as
lieutenant
basin's
assistant,
one
of
the
things
that
we
as
a
department
sometimes
lack
as,
as
you
all
know,
when
things
happen
with
police,
one
of
the
biggest
criticisms
is
always
police
need
to
be
properly
trained.
L
Police
need
to
properly
train
the
police
aren't
trained,
so
we
are
shifting
lieutenant
basin
back
to
our
patrol
division.
To
assist
chief
kessner
and
andy
will
be
in
charge
of
all
of
our
department
training.
The
state
has
mandated
significant
amounts
of
training
for
police,
and,
while
we
are
up
to
date,
we
need
to
stay
up
to
date
and
be
even
better
and-
and
this
is
going
to
make
us
better,
becky
powell
being
in
charge
of
ema,
will
make
us
better.
So
I'm
happy
for
becky.
L
She
has
been
with
us
for
slightly
over
20
years.
She
was
an
administrative
assistant
in
our
investigations,
division
and
also
participated
in
a
lot
of
the
investigations
as
a
data
analyst
clerk,
where
she,
where
she
gathered
information
for
detectives
who
are
investigating
anywhere
from
homicides
sexual
assault
cases.
L
Things
like
that
so
and
she
has
proven
herself
that
I
have
no
doubt
she
will
serve
us
well
in
that
in
that
capacity.
So
that
was
more
or
less
just
a
informational
thing.
More
than
anything,
I
don't
think
I
need
any
approval,
okay
to
do
that
cops,
grant
yeah.
So
one
of
the
other
big
issues
in
in
our
jurisdiction.
L
We
have
schools
located
in
the
unincorporated
areas,
lorenzo
smith,
st
george,
some
of
the
hersher
school
district
and
the
kankakee
area
career
center,
which
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
the
career
center
is
actually
in
the
county's
jurisdiction.
L
We
would
respond
if
they
would
ask
for
a
particular
day,
for
whatever
reason
we
would
send
an
officer
out
to
the
school
for
a
day,
but
the
the
true
essence
of
a
of
a
school
resource
officer
is
to
provide
some
instructions,
some
relationship
with
the
students
and-
and
we
just
weren't
able
to
do
that.
So
I
believe
it
was
back
in
january.
We
applied
for
a
grant
through
the
cop,
the
cops
grant
and
we
just
got
notified
last
friday
that
we
did
get
awarded
two
spots.
L
L
So
I
have
some
numbers
that
I
don't
know
that
if
you
want
to
hear
them,
I
can
certainly
give
them
to
you,
but
I
basically,
what
I'm
looking
for
is
to
get
is
to
move
this
to
finance,
if,
if
you
guys
are
okay
with
the
possibility
of
having
these
school
resource
officers
in
the
county,
the
plan
is
to
put
one
officer
at
the
career
center
and
then
split
one
officer
between
saint
george
and
lorenzo
smith.
H
L
We
we've
talked
to
everybody
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
weeks
and
the
biggest
question
was:
is
there
any
cost
on
our
end
and
and
so
that
tells
me
that
they
don't
have
they
they
have
no
budget
for
it.
I
guess
is
the
simple
answer.
H
That
was
a
tax
watch
dog
that
was
barking
yeah
right.
Mr.
A
J
A
L
Discussion
with
so
the
numbers
per
year
per
officer
are
about
59
800,
so
that
equates
out
to
over
the
course
of
three
years
is
358
000.
Now
that
sounds
like
an
awful
lot
and
it
is.
But
what
you
have
to
remember
is
over
the
course
of
the
next,
probably
three
to
five
years.
We
have
a
number
of
officers
who
are
going
to
be
retiring
and
what
that
will
do
is
we
will
have
in
effect
about
approximately
at
least
two
per
year
over
the
next
three
years.
L
So
when
you
take
that
number
and
take
that
thirty
thousand
dollars
times
two,
which
is
sixty
thousand
dollars,
you
end
up,
it
ends
up
costing
the
county
about
a
hundred
and
nineteen
thousand
dollars
or
I'm
sorry,
fifty
nine
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
per
year
for
both
over
those
numbers,
but
we'll
we
will
detail
this
out
much
more.
I
haven't
written
down
here,
we'll
have
them
detailed
on
paper
as
we
as
when
we
send
it
to
the
finance
committee
with
specific
people
who
are
retiring
so
that
we
know.
L
Obviously,
the
relationship
between
police
and
the
students
as
they
you
know
right
now
we
have
a,
we
have
a
student
or
we
have
a
police
officer
in
the
regional
alternative
school.
The
regional
alternative
school
are
basically
those
kids
who
can't
function
in
a
normal
school
setting
have
no
respect
for
the
police.
I
mean
we
are
not
a
school
resource
officer
over
at
the
regional
alternative
school.
We
are
a
police
officer,
not
a
school
resource
officer,
there's
a
big
difference,
so
the
advantage
is
we
are.
L
We
are
much
more
able
to
involve
ourselves
with
the
kids,
with
the
families,
with
the
teachers
with
the
administration
to
benefit
everybody
in
the
long
run
and,
and
obviously,
most
importantly,
safety,
which
is
first
and
foremost.
So
that
would
be
the
benefit
again.
You
know,
there's
some
talk
out
there,
not
so
much
around
here,
but
the
talk
out
here
about
pulling
people
from
pulling
police
officers
from
schools,
which
I
think
is
a
huge
mistake,
but
you
know
that's
how
people
feel
about
it
in
some
places
and
that's
certainly
their
prerogative,
but.
E
M
Just
just
curious
on
how
the
I
don't
say,
the
pecking
order
of
how
this
is
staff
worked
is,
do
you
typically
have
somebody
that's
more
experienced
that
goes
into
the
school
and
the
new
people
go
on
the
road.
Or
do
you
look
for
somebody?
That's
maybe
closer
to
the
age
of
the
students,
or
you
know
I
would
say
more
relatable
to
I'm.
K
L
L
I'd
much
rather
have
maybe
30
plus
I
mean,
but
then
you
get
into
the
whole
age
thing.
Well,
you
didn't
give
me
this,
because
I'm
only
21,
you
know
so
yeah,
it's
just
a
and
it'll
be
a
department
need
what
we
have.
You
know
the
other
advantage,
mr
hunter
to
finish
actually
to
go
along
is
that
you
know
we
will
have
that
officer
available
to
us.
F
F
N
L
Yeah,
so
this
is
one
of
many
ice
inspections
that
our
corrections
division
deals
with
annually.
Odo
stands
for
the
office
of
a
detention
oversight.
L
L
The
evaluators
who
are
all
corrections,
people
we're
very
impressed
with
the
not
only
the
people
that
work
at
our
jail,
but
how
clean
it
is.
L
What
we
do
every
day
and-
and
I
can't
you
know-
thank
the
corrections
staff
enough
for
for
what
they
do
and
what
they
deal
with
every
day
and
and
two
of
the
things
that
really
stuck
out-
and
these
are
these-
these
are
something
that
that
you
as
a
county
should
be
proud
of.
L
In
these
inspections,
they
identified
two
things
as
what's
considered
best
practice,
not
best
practice
in
the
state
of
illinois,
but
best
practice,
co
nationwide
and
those
two
things
are.
Our
visitation
system,
which
allows
literally
a
detainee
in
our
custody
in
ice
custody
can
actually
visit
with
any
family
member.
L
He
is
able
to
visit
with
who
lives
anywhere
in
the
world
via
video,
and
they
spoke
on
that
a
lot
about
how
to
be
able
to
allow
them
to
to
talk
with
family
and
to
visit,
and
they
they
identified
that
as
a
best
practice,
which
those
best
practice,
those
things
identified,
as
best
practice,
aren't
given
out
every
day.
So
the
second
one
is
our
dental
care.
L
In
fact,
the
evaluator
said
it's
the
first
time
that
he
knows
of
that.
Dental
care
in
a
jail
facility
has
been
identified
as
a
best
practice,
so
kudos
to
dr
ryan
and
dina
his
assistant,
who
come
in
two
to
three
times
a
week
who
provide
dental
services
for
not
only
ice,
but
they
provide
dental
services
for
everybody.
L
As
I
said
we,
you
know,
our
inmates
are
are
treated
better.
Our
local
inmates
are
treated
better
because
of
ice,
because
ice
is
treated
so
well
and
there's
so
many
standards
so
kudos
to
those
those
best
practices.
That's
something
that
that
we
in
corrections
and
we
in
the
sheriff's
office,
hang
our
hats
on,
because
that's
what
we
want.
We
want
the
best
practice
if
we
can
afford
it.
J
L
L
Yeah,
so
we
have
a
close-out
last,
the
last
day,
all
the
evaluators
sit
down
and
they
talk
about
what
obviously
the
good
things
and
certainly
the
bad
things.
I
can
tell
you
from
the
I
guess
on
the
bad
end,
I
don't
want
to
just
say
that
you
know
we're
perfect
because
we're
not
but-
and-
and
I
will
tell
you-
are
those
findings
yeah.
We
have
findings,
but
the
problem
with
the
findings.
L
Well,
that's
not
a
problem,
but
our
findings
are
basically
the
things
that
we've
that
they've
they
have
found
are
normally
and
in
our
case,
almost
all
of
them.
Well,
all
of
them
are
findings
that
we
do
but
they're
not
listed
in
our
policy
as
as
some
sort
of
procedure,
so
the
things
that
are
done.
L
We
have
the
documentation
that
they're
done
but
they're,
not
in
our
policy,
so
they're
more
or
less
policy
findings
than
more
so
than
not
doing
anything-
and
those
are
you
know,
those
are
easily
fixable
and
in
in
this
case
most
ev.
Everything
was
fixed
before
the
evaluators
were
done,
but
they
list
those
findings
as
what
they
found,
because
they
were
that's
the
way
they
were
doing
them
before
they
got
here,
and
then
we
just
put
them
in
policy
and
and
they've
even
referenced.
It
saying
this
has
already
been
taken.
Care
of.
L
J
I'm
the
new
kid
on
the
block.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
but
let
let
me
say
this.
You
know
there's
a
learning
curve
for
those
new
guys
right
long
right,
but
let
me
just
say
this
is
it's
in
keeping
with
the
activities
of
the
sheriff.
You
know,
I
wear
several
different
hats
in
this
community.
I'm
the
vice
chairman
of
the
naacp
local
chapter.
Additionally,
I'm
the
vice
chairman
of
the
hispanic
partnership.
J
We've
had
a
long
standing
relationship
with
the
sheriff's
department,
state's
attorneys
department,
coroner's
office,
etc
june,
2nd
you
guys
may
recall
in
this
county.
Some
of
you
guys
present
here
attended
the
rally
which
was
sponsored
co-sponsored
by
the
naacp,
the
hispanic
partnership
and
other
individuals.
We,
you
know
we
had
people.
The
sheriff
played
a
substantial
role
in
that
the
state's
attorney
was
there
other
individuals
as
well
too.
J
You
know,
mayors
were
there
other
elected
officials,
but
we
initially
had
planned
to
be
at
the
mall
on
on
june,
2nd
the
day
before
at
noon,
we
were
notified
that
we
couldn't
have
the
the
rally
at
the
mall
the
day
before
24
hours
before
the
the
event
made
a
phone
call
to
the
sheriff
within
I
don't
have
two
hours.
We
had
changed
the
venue
and
had
everything
covered,
you
know
based
on
a
phone
call
from
el
agua.
That's
the
sheriff
in
spanish.
J
For
those
who
are
our
hispanic
brothers
who
are
watching-
and
I
just
you
know-
want
to
say
that
the
state's
attorney
was
the
keynote
speaker.
Ken
mccabe
played
a
substantial
role.
The
fairer
committee,
you
know,
did
a
hell
of
a
job
in
terms
of
assisting
us
pull
this
thing
off.
They
were
in
excess
of
700
people
right,
mr
burns.
J
He
was
an
attendee
at
that
particular
venue,
no
problems
whatsoever
in
large
part
based
upon
the
activities
and
the
leadership
of
the
sheriff
and
his
personnel
ken
mccabe
was
you
know
I
got
in
trouble
for
saying
this.
J
Yesterday
he
was
a
rock
star
as
well
too
in
terms
of
providing
services
to
the
people
for
the
county,
but
I
just
want
to
say
oftentimes,
you
hear
you
know
the
allegations
and
and
as
they
say
in
spanish
and
mentidas,
you
know
lies
about
certain
public
officials
and
stuff,
but
I'm
just
here
to
tell
you
that
your
state's
attorney
and
your
sheriff
and
your
personnel,
the
fair
personnel,
stood
up
and
really,
I
think
the
people
of
kanke
county
got
more
bang
for
their
buck
for
the
services
on
that
particular
day.
L
Just
two:
I
mentioned
the
corrections
vehicles
just
some
information,
our
we
have
two
buses,
an
o5
and
an
07.
The
07
has
actually
blown
an
engine
and
is
out
of
service.
L
L
L
Our
two
most
recent
vehicle
purchases
or
transit
vans
in
2018
both
have
over
70
000
miles
and
then
all
other
transport
vehicles
which
there
are
10
of
them,
including
some
old
tahoes
and
then
some
other
vans.
They
range
in
miles
anywhere
from
237
000
miles
to
just
over
a
hundred
thousand.
L
So
our
transport
supervisors
are
doing
a
great
job
in
you
know,
making
sure
we're
taking
the
right
vehicles
to
the
right
places
and
trying
to
care
for
these
vehicles
as
best
we
can,
but
just
a
heads
up
that
we're
probably
going
to
explore
some
options
down
the
road
and
then
lastly,
some
of
you.
L
This
has
been
out
there.
We've
talked
about
the
relationship
that
law
enforcement
locally
has
with
the
naacp
and
we
meet,
I
believe
it's
every
third
month
or
every
other
month,
sometimes
more,
sometimes
less.
But
our
next
meeting
is
july
23rd,
which
is
going
to
be
at
the
eoc,
and
we
are
actually
going
to
broadcast
that
live
for
people
to
see
to
kind
of
expand.
L
It
is
just
I
I
believe
during
a
lot
of
this
stuff
over
the
last
couple
months.
I
think
I've
talked
to
the
president
of
the
naacp
more
than
I've
talked
to
my
wife,
but
that's
a
good
thing,
because
they're
great
conversations
we
get
things
done.
We
deal
with
things
as
they
come
up,
and
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
relationship
that
local
law
enforcement
has
with
groups
out
there.
So
thank
you,
mr
vice
president.
A
Mr
mr
predates
you
know
the.
J
Situation
in
the
last
several
months,
you
guys
need
to
really
keep
up
on
what
transpires
regarding
I
I
was
in
charge
of
drug
overdose
stuff.
We
had
a
panel
involving
the
sheriff
cave
meg
state's
attorney
corner
et
cetera,
so
it
predates
what
transpired
here
recently.
So
you
know
we've
been
meeting
you
know
with
the
sheriff's
department
and
law
enforcement,
police
chiefs,
city
administrators
mayors
for
the
last.
A
D
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
just
have
a
comment
and
a
question
I
want
to
commend
sheriff.
Lately,
it's
been
on
fashion
will
be
pro
law
enforcement.
Unfortunately
around
parts
of
the
country
and
we're
very
blessed
like
we've
talked
about
mr
hunter
said
we
have
strong
leadership
in
law
enforcement,
this
county
that
communicates
with
the
community
community
and
does
a
lot
and
over
the
la
over
the
last
year,
or
so.
D
My
question
is:
to
those
people
have
they
addressed
these
questions
with
the
people
that
can
install
the
change
in
immigration
policy
and
the
fact
that
our
as
we've
just
heard
our
facility
is
top
notch,
our
staff
is
top-notch
and,
according
and
again,
when
we
hear
examples
of
detainees,
the
narrative
is
that
people
are
just
being
dragged
off
the
street
when,
in
fact,
if
you're
being
detained
more
likely,
you
committed
a
crime
sheriff.
Is
that
correct
that
the
detainees
we
have
are
there
because
they
committed
a
crime
in
the
united
states
of
america?.
L
H
I
was
going
to
stay
with
you
after
the
animal
control
update
and
just
and
but
I
I
want
to
say,
I
heard
the
comments
on
yesterday
morning.
I've
heard
the
comments
oh
numerous
times
throughout
the
year
regarding
these
the
zeiss
program,
but
I
took
personal
exception
when
it
went
so
far
as
to
allege
abuse
or
some
type
of
wrongdoing
in
the
in
our
correction
facility.
H
Now
I
was
in
law
enforcement.
I
served
as
the
auxiliary
police
officer
here
in
the
city
of
kangaki
and
also
for
the
state
of
illinois
was
the
real
officer
that
transported
inmates
from
to
the
various
places
and
things
of
nature
work
with
the
state,
police
and
the
whole
nine
yards,
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
I
have
to
look
and
see.
If
is
there
any
wrongdoing?
H
I've
viewed
the
the
detention
center
did
not
see
any
problems.
In
fact,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
chewie
garcia
showed
up
here
unexpectedly
and
could
have
been
denied,
but
the
sheriff
went
over
anyway
because
we
were
doing
a.
I
think
a
committee
meeting
or
a
county
board
meeting-
I
don't
know
which-
and
he
just
went
over
and
allowed
them
to
come
in-
to
see
the
normal
operations
and
no
one
seems
to
have
saw
all
of
this
abuse.
H
H
Until
we
were
able
to
move
the
vehicle
from
maple
street
over
to
the
side,
he
couldn't
move
it,
but
he
allowed
them
the
opportunity,
because
another
truck
came
and
when
I
saw
this,
he
patiently
worked
with
them
and
I
know
he
didn't
ask
for
one
id
or
anything.
H
At
the
end
of
the
conclusion,
I
did
offer
some
assistance
because
I
told
the
guy
I
said
I
think
you
can
move
the
vehicle
a
little
bit
quicker
if
you
take
it
out
of
park
and
put
it
in
neutral
and
that
did
work.
But
you
know
good.
E
H
You
know
law
enforcement,
that's
doing
the
right
thing
and
in
this
case
the
deputy
was
a
hartman
that
was
on
his
badge
on
his
his
at
his
id
and
so
as
a
result
he
didn't
know
who
I
was
at
the
end.
He
says
I
s
that
now
I
don't
think
I
can.
I'm
gonna
have
to
work
on
this.
He
said
I
I
know
your
face
is
don't
you
do
something
in
the
community?
H
H
This
is
what
I
normally
see
when
I
look
at
the
officers,
because
sometimes
they
don't
see
me,
I
just
sometimes
stay
amiss.
It's
good
that
you
probably
don't
know
me.
I
don't
know
how
you
don't
know
me,
but
if
you
don't
that's
fine
and
the
officer
was
so
professional,
so
I
sent
kudos
to
officer
when
I
seen
hartman
for
for
doing
what
I
generally
see
our
officers
doing
anyway,
anywhere
anywhere.
So
when
the
person
said
that
we
there's
a
person
vendetta,
that
is
not
the
case
or
whatever.
H
H
I
think
our
I
put
a
a
little
caviar
at
the
end,
I
support
the
black,
the
blue
and
I
support
you
too,
so
as
a
result
kudos
to
that
officer
that
basically
embodies
what
you're
doing
already
the
professionalism,
the
integrity
I
I
think,
needs
to
be
expressed
and
I
think
people
need
to
appreciate
basically
law
enforcement.
I
do
not,
and
I
will
stay
for
the
record.
I
do
not
ever
support
anything
that
would
define
law
enforcement.
Can
you
imagine
what
would
happen
in
chicago
if
they
defund
law
enforcement
or
in
kenyakill
anywhere?
L
C
Oh
colt,
sorry
as
board
members,
I
took
a
tour
of
our
ice
detainee
detention,
aryan
jerome
combs
and
I
would
go
ahead
and
encourage
everybody
to
go
out
and
do
that
as
well.
I
mean
that's
top
notch
like
they
said
in
the
report,
and
I
agree
with
mr
snipes.
I
do
not
support
defining
the
police.
C
J
So,
if
that's
the
case,
then
the
commissioner,
you
know,
could
the
chairman
or
the
or
or
the
or
the
sheriff
or
a
state's
attorney
or
somebody
draft,
a
resolution
that
we
could
consider
and
and
debate,
articulate
and
and
vote
on
it
at
some
point
regarding
the
issues
that
is
before
the
country
regarding
defunding
law
enforcement.
M
It's
appropriate
for
this
committee
to
make
a
recommendation
to
executive
committee
to
do
so.
That's
the
policy
committee,
but
if
criminal
justice
feels
that
that
is
something
we
need
to
take
a
position
on
and
let
people
know
our
intent
and
we
should
come
out
of
executive
and
then
to
the
full
board
so
be
happy
to.
If
that's.
J
There
are
a
lot
of
moving
parts
you
know
for,
for
example,
you
know
the
sheriff
was
at
the
apex
of
the
ten
shared
principles
that
the
local
law
enforcement
chiefs,
sheriffs
and
everybody's
signed
off
on,
and
I'm
sure
that
on
the
23rd,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
mechanisms
as
to
how
to
assess
and
evaluate
the
implementation
of
those
10
shared
principles
right
sheriff,
so
that
that's
probably
what's
what's
key.
J
So
I
think
at
your
direction,
chair
it'd
be
appropriate
that
this
matter
be
referred
to
the
executive
committee
for
consideration.
M
It
was
just
a
comment
that
we
did
adopt
as
a
county
potential
right.
M
Have
that
discussion,
but
I
think
it
could
go
further
talking
about
the
word
was
atrocities
going
on
at
jerome
combs
that
stuck
with
me-
and
it
still
bothers
me
to
this
this
very
second,
when
I
heard
that
again,
there's
a
gross
misrepresentation,
intentional
misrepresentation
of
what's
going
on,
I
see
no
children
in
cages
and
jerome
combs.
We
do
not
go
out
and
pick
anybody
up
here
locally.
That
is
actually
against
state
law,
which
we
have
said
multiple
times.
M
There's
been
more
overtures
to
partner
with
these
organizations
and
individuals
to
go
lobby
washington
together
for
change
in
national
immigration
policy,
and
the
answer
is
always
come
back
to
me.
Let
everybody
out,
then
we'll
talk
and
that's
a
non-starter
because
we're
not
going
to
let
people
out
that
we
picked
up
at
doc
that
are
murderers
and
child
rapists
and
everything
else.
While
we
have
your
conversation,
we
can,
we
can
do
both
they
can
work
parallel.
M
D
Thank
you,
mr
truman.
I,
like
the
second
mr
hunter's
motion.
Will
you
show
us
support
of
our
local
law
enforcement?
We
are
really
truly.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
the
sheriff
and
his
staff
and
second
impact.
In
fact
what
chairman
wheeler
said
about
the
word
atrocities
and
what
was
said
at
the
meeting
yesterday,
which
I
found
sorry
but
completely
ridiculous.
H
I'm
sure,
if
I
may
and
and
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong,
we
do
not
have
an
iced
detention
center
here.
What
we
do
have
is
the
detention
center
that
provides
a
service
right
and
so,
as
a
result,
there's
a
distinguishable
differences.
I
don't
have
a
high
spectating
center
here
we
don't
in
kankakee
county.
H
We
simply
have
a
facility
that
deals
with
detention
and
before
we
even
dealt
with
the
detention
in
partnership
with
your
homeland
security,
we
had
it
from
when
we
had
to,
I
mean
the
chicago
most
folks
say
we
don't
want
the
chicago
folks.
Here
I
mean
we've
had
naysayers,
but
I
have
yet
to
see
and
I've
seen
we
do.
We
have
the
hispanic
partnership
here.
We
have
a
lot
I've
yet
to
see
most
of
the
people.
I've
seen
come
from
out
of
town
that
that
comes
with
these
allegations.
H
Most
of
the
people
that
live
here,
I
don't
see
them
coming
in
great
numbers,
saying
that
they
see
abuse
and
things
of
nature.
So
that's
just
another
point
to
be
noticed,
but
I
do
want
the
correction
that
we
don't
have
an
ice
detail:
detention
center.
We
have
a
detention
center
that
partnerships
with
still,
I
guess
chicago
and
the
homeland
security
or
whoever.
I
don't.
You
know
I
don't
know,
but
we
provided
service
to
all
in
the
past
years
that
I've
known.
L
Without
going
into
too
much
detail,
animal
control
has
a
couple
pending
criminal
investigations
going
and
that's
about
all.
I
can
give
you
at
this
point,
but
that
was
one
of
the
goals
that
the
chairman
had
when
animal
control
was
shifted
over
to
the
sheriff's
office.
C
L
We
are
right
in
the
middle
of
a
couple,
so
everything
else
at
animal
control
is
going
pretty
well.
Covid
was
animal
control
felt
the
effects
of
covet
as
well?
It
seemed
that
when
people
were
home,
the
number
of
animals
that
we
had
in
our
facility
were
down
significantly,
of
course,
now
that
we're
kind
of
semi-open
back
up
those
numbers
are
starting
to
jump
up
again,
but
people
did
care
for
their
animals
during
the
covid
lockdown.
So
that
was
a
good
thing.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everybody
up
next
is
the
corner,
mr
gessner.
In
your
package,
you
have
a
copy
of
the
monthly
report
and
the
monthly
receipts
of
money.
Take
a
motion
to
combine
and
approve
them.
Mr
fairfield,
second
by
mr
burn
good
morning,
bob
questions
on
your
reporters.
Your
answers,
comments.
A
O
Can
you
hear
me
chairman?
Yes,
okay,
going
down
my
list,
there
is
the
total
number
of
calls.
We
were
at
102
19
for
the
corner,
which
means
that
I
have
to
sign
off
on
the
death
certificate:
nine
autopsies
so
we're
still
holding
that
autopsy
right
around
10,
which
a
while
back
we're
holding
six
to
seven
other
than
that
moving
down
the
list
down
there
I'll
those
all
seem
to
be
self-explanable.
I
can
take
any
type
of
questions
if
you
have
that
mr
byrne.
D
O
Yeah
I
was
going
to
get
into
that
there.
I
was
going
to
talk
about
the
overdoses,
that's
a
huge
problem
right
now,
but
so
far
on
840
deaths
we've
had
in
in
kankakee
county.
Only
nine
nine
have
been
determined
as
suicides
in
the
2017
and
2019.
O
We
had
19
overdose
or
excuse
me
19
suicides
in
2018
we
had
just
four
suicides,
so
I
got
to
speak
last
night
with
a
long,
their
suicide
awareness
program
that
we
did
last
night
there
and
brought
that
out
to
the
to
the
county
and
what
our
our
reports
show
yeah.
We
are
seeing
an
increase
since
that,
since
that
number
of
eight
right
now,
we've
gone
to
nine
as
of
yesterday.
H
I'm
looking
at
your
from
the
kenky
county
health
department,
gloves
and
gowns,
and
you
know
with
the
1699-
is
that
something
that
was
supplied
to
you.
O
Yes,
that's
off
our
grant
that
we
have
with
the
the
narcan
grant.
Okay,
that
comes
off
of
our
grant,
but
we
are.
We
are
buying
more
stuff
because
we're
anticipating
the
the
problems
that
might
be
coming
in
the
future.
Here
we
were
down
to
the
nitty-gritty
on
the
on
the
last
kovic
stuff,
so
we've
increased
our
inventory
quite
a
bit.
E
O
It
seems
to
be
a
repeat
all
the
time,
but
I
gotta
bring
it
to
you.
Our
number
of
overdoses
have
increased
extremely
we're
we're
on
our
way
up
to
56..
We
have
28
cases
right
now
with
seven
penning
that
we
know
is
going
to
be
overdoses,
that'll
bring
us
to
35.
O
Our
second
high
was
36,
so
it's
it's
increasing
and
it's
the
again.
It's
the
fentanyl
out
there,
but
it's
also
with
cocaine
and
heroin.
It's
a
mixture
of
it
and
people.
Don't
really
don't
know
that
and
that's
it
seems
to
be
getting
worse.
In
fact,
at
nine
o'clock
today
we
have
two
overdoses
right
now,
as
I
get
done
with
this
program,
I
gotta
go
over
there
real
quick
when
we
have
that
many
overdoses.
O
I
just
want
you
to
be
aware
of.
If
we
were
86
000
over
last
in
2017,
you
can
see
where
I'm
going
to
be
right
now
we're
our
anticipation.
Right
now
is
we're
way
over
on
autopsy.
So
due
to
these,
these
35
cases
actually
going
to
be
more
than
that.
O
O
C
Bob,
how
many
autopsies
do
you
usually
do
a
year.
O
How
many
per
year,
probably
right
around
eight
we're
89
last
year
and
we're
at
69
right
now
we
have
five
months
to
go.
H
Just
one
quick
thank
you.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
sheriff
when
we
had
the
hearts
across
our
county,
sponsored
by
the
african-american
broom
association
guy
in
the
prayer,
some
clergy
and
others
they
came
out.
You
know
we
made
the
call
because
we
couldn't
get
the
lights
to
work
and
they,
the
maintenance,
individual
came
out
and
the
whole
nine
yards
and
they
were,
they
got
us
up
and
they
got
us
running.
You
know
like
it's
just
nice
to
know
that
you
can
make
a
call.
H
I
saw
andy
out
there
and
some
others.
So
we
do
appreciate
when
you
know
county,
you
know
just
kind
of
works
together
and
and
and
to
do
do
some
things,
and
it
was
just
nice
to
make
a
call
and
and
have
that
rectified.
So
I
wanted
to
send
my
thanks
out.
Thank.
J
Let
me
just
let
me
just
say
this:
I'm
a
new
kid
on
the
block
and
and
I
want
to
form
some
kind
of
alliance
with
the
brethren
and
the
sisterhood
of
the
county
board
as
well
as
this
particular
committee,
and
I'm
pleased
that
the
chairman
saw
fit
to
place
me
on
this
committee.
There's
some
big
shoes
to
fill
with
george.
J
You
know,
I
don't
know
what
size
he
wore,
but
I,
but
I
wear
14.
so,
but
you
know
I'd
bring
something
you
know
to
this
committee.
Hopefully,
in
terms
of
being
a
pragmatist
40
years
experience
with
the
city
council
of
kankakee
39
years
of
service
to
the
state
of
illinois.
J
You
know
I
was
born
and
raised
here
and
lived
in
other
other
areas,
educated
different
states,
but
I
want
to
work
with
you
guys
and
anything
and
everything
that
you
think
I'm
I
may
need
to
know.
You
know
feel
free
to
call
me.
I
don't
I
don't
scream
my
phone
calls.
I
take
all
phone
calls.
J
I
I
do
lunch
looking
at
me
and
you
know
I
don't
miss
too
many
meals,
but
but
I
I
like
to
work
with
everybody
and
offer
a
olive
branch
to
you
know
you
guys,
because
I
think
all
of
us
are
working
for
the
health,
safety
and
welfare
of
the
citizens.
So
I'm
here
to
join
the
club
good.
