Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 8/12/2020 7:30 AM
A
B
C
D
A
D
A
Motion
carries
moving
on
chief
judge,
I
don't
believe
he's
here.
Do
we
have
anything
from
the
chief
judge
this
morning?
Nothing
circuit
clerk's
office
mission.
Good
morning,
good
morning
in
your
package,
you
have
a
copy
of
the
circuit,
clerk's
monthly
report.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
parker
parker,
and
mr
lee
is
the
second
comments
on
your
report.
Sandy.
E
No
nothing
too
unusual.
The
with
harrison
harris
is
a
little
slow
this
this
month,
but
the
I
don't
have
the
copy
of
the
state's
attorney
collection
in
front
of
me
either.
I
think
that
one
was
a
little
low
too,
so
I
think
that's
catching
up
from
you
know
the
the
time
that
we
were
away,
the
covid
people.
E
G
E
Sure
so
we're
still
working
on
the
civil
integration.
The
testing
is
still
going,
there's
still
errors
that
are
popping
up.
So
when
we
create
new
cases
in
a
testing
mode,
things
are
connecting,
but
then
like
there
might
not
be
a
new
case
number
added
to
it
or
something
like
that.
So
we're
still
working
through
those
issues.
E
It's
sometimes
not
collecting
all
of
the
party
information,
and
these
are
very
important
things
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
are,
you
know
all
tested
in
100
before
we
move
forward
so
and
it's
and
it's
nobody's
fault
it's
either.
You
know
there's
just
glitches
on
each
side
of
the
two
different
vendors,
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
all
complete.
I
Mr
rome
good
morning,
how
was
that
I'd
call
it
the
youth
program
that
you're
going
to
have
starting
up
between?
I
guess
you,
the
y
and
school
district
and
whatever
other
entities,
are
involved
with
the
mentoring
program,
giving
the
covet
19
pandemic
how's
that
going
to
kind
of
be
implemented
this
year
in
the
school
district.
H
Yeah,
you
know
it
was
devastating
because
we
finally
graduated
our
first
class
of
mentors.
Everyone
had
been
trained,
we
were
about
to
match
them
with
mentees
and
then
kovid
really
put
a
halt
to
that.
So
we've
been
keeping
the
mentors
engaged
with
zoom
meetings
and
just
trying
to
keep
everyone
on
track.
Until
we
can,
you
know
give
back
to
some
sense
of
normalcy
and
start
having
them
meet
their
mentees.
H
We'll
start
if
we
can't
get
back
into
the
schools
where
the
mentors
can
meet
with
the
mentee
we're
going
to
try
a
virtual
option,
because
we
do
want
that
program
to
keep
moving
forward.
In
the
meantime,
we're
still
recruiting
mentors,
so
people
are
interested.
Please
sign
up,
send
me
an
email,
we're
trying
to
build
a
few
of
mentors,
because
certainly
we
have
enough
in
the
system
that
are
in
need
of
mentors.
I
H
So
because
this
is
intervention
focused
we're
looking
at
every
kid
that
comes
into
the
criminal
justice
system,
so,
for
instance,
so
the
grant
is
actually
targeted
toward
juveniles
in
the
juvenile
justice
system.
The
kid
comes
into
the
system.
They
should
be
immediately
attached
to
a
mentor,
we're
expanding
it
once
we
can
get
more
mentors
ready
to
go
so
that
when
a
child
is
referred
to
our
office
for
possibly
charges,
even
if
he
goes
to
a
diversion
program,
an
informal
supervision
disposition
something
less
than
juvenile
charges.
H
I
I
H
Yeah
they
lost,
they
lost
their
their
finances
thanks
to
springfield,
so
yeah
we
wish
teen
court
was
a
great
diversion.
It
was
a
great
option
for
kids,
who
you
know
maybe
did
something
that
really
doesn't
justify
having
a
court
case,
but
you
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
a
learning
opportunity
there.
You
could
divert
a
machine
course.
H
So
conviction
integrity's
got
a
couple
roles.
The
first
rule
is:
if
someone
brings
a
viable
claim
of
innocence
forward,
so
someone's
been
convicted,
maybe
they're
incarcerated,
maybe
they're,
not
maybe
they
even
plug
guilty,
but
they
come
forward
at
some
point
and
say
you
know
I
was
innocent
and
this
is
my
alibi,
or
this
is
how
it
can
be
proven.
H
When
those
claims
come
forward.
We
want
to
make
sure
they
go
into
a
hands
of
someone
who
is
specifically
able
to
review
the
claim
and
determine
whether
they
believe
that
the
claim
of
innocence
is
truthful,
so
there'll
be
once
it's
up
and
running
this
unit.
There
will
be
a
volunteer
panel,
maybe
three
five
seven
members
of
those
members.
H
You
know
a
couple
of
them
would
meet
the
reviewer
claim
of
innocence
if
they
believe
that
it's
viable,
in
other
words
it's
something
that
could
be
proven,
then
they're
going
to
assign
it
to
the
attorney
as
well
as
an
investigator.
Those
individuals
go
out.
They'll
come
back
with
a
report
to
that
panel,
who
will
then
make
recommendations
to
the
attorney
on
whether
they
think
that
the
claim
of
innocence
was
fruitful,
so
reviewing
prior
convictions
is
one
component
of
that
job.
I
think.
H
Maybe
the
unique
component
is
preventing
wrongful
convictions
in
the
future,
so
putting
together
trainings
best
practices,
reviewing
policies
and
working,
not
only
with
other
prosecutors,
for
providing
trainings
to
the
private
bar
to
public
defenders,
probation
police
officers.
Everyone
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system,
the
judiciary
as
well
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
implementing
best
practices
and
safeguards
in
place
to
prevent
a
wrongful
conviction.
H
H
How
do
you
get
a
panel
of
members
together
that
is
truly
representative
of
the
community?
That
is
not
biased,
pro-law
enforcement,
anti-law
enforcement?
You
just
want
people
that
will
call
the
balls
and
strikes
down
the
middle,
who
have
no
prior
attachment
to
the
cases
or
to
perhaps
the
police
officers,
or
you
know,
defendants
witnesses
so
that
that's
part
of
the
process
in
building
this
unit
is
determining
what
makes
a
good
review
panel
member
and
what
those
qualifications
should
be,
what
the
training
might
be.
H
H
J
Okay,
mr
wheeler,
thank
you,
the
that
was
one
of
the
one
of
the.
If
people
are
interested,
go
look
at
cook,
county
ciu.
That
was
what
I
did
for
the
research
when
jim-
and
I
were
first
talking
about
this
way
back
when,
as
far
as
how
that
is
operated,
that's
just
one
model
and
really
this.
This
tends
to
manifest
when
you
have
somebody
who
might
be
wrongfully
convicted
for
say,
18
20
years
in
the
system,
the
minimal
marginal
cost
of
this
versus
that
it
it's
the
absol.
J
It's
an
insurance
policy
on
trying
to
make
sure
you
don't
have
any
of
those
situations,
both
costly
in
terms
of
human
life,
but
also
taxpayers
resources,
because
it
gets
very
expensive
so
that,
without
commenting
further
on
that
now,
I
did
have
a
question
for
jim
regarding
mr
lillard
and
his
involvement
into
mainly
to
start
with
kankakee
school
district.
You
know
that
was
another
announcement
that
might
have
flown
below
the
radar
that
people
should
probably
know
a
little
bit
about
jim.
H
You
know
they
haven't
entered
the
system
yet,
but
they're
definitely
headed
that
way,
getting
him
to
go
out
and
intervene.
Some
of
that's
going
to
be
an
initiative
where
we
help
kids
get
get
into
college.
You
know,
go
and
do
a
tour
of
kcc
apply,
fill
out.
Fafsa
forms
all
that
kind
of
stuff
kind
of
pushing
them
in
that
direction.
We're
working
on
a
partnership
as
well
with
olivet
we're
going
to
work
on
governor
state
after
that.
H
H
We
are
not
doing
a
don't
shoot
program.
We
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
that,
but
this
position
is
one
of
the
positions
that
exist
in
the
peoria
model
and
they've
seen
a
lot
of
success
with
it.
It
really
helps
keep
the
kids
on
on
task
it
lets
them
know
that
there
is
someone
in
the
community
that
cares
enough
to
take
the
time
and
invest
in
them
and
show
them
some
opportunities.
Maybe
they
didn't
know
existed.
Sometimes
kids
think
they
just
you
know.
H
J
You
go
up
to
10
and
you
start
to
take
a
look.
I
mean
medical
costs,
everything
that
comes
after
that
so
again,
there's
a
financial
aspect
of
these
things
beyond
the
human
side
of
it
that
I
tend
to
take
a
hard
look
at
from
the
board
side.
So
that's
what
I
want
to
let
this
committee
know
is
why
that
exists.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
to
try
to
get
them
early.
We
don't
have
team
court
anymore.
J
F
H
It's
the
same
thing
we
talked
about
in
that
law
enforcement
meeting,
yeah
the
joint
meeting
between
naacp
and
all
the
police
departments.
You
know,
there's
a
model
out
there
for
a
civilian
review
board
that
every
police
department
could
implement.
If
they
want
to.
We
said
we'd
be
happy
to
help
them
craft
that
resolution
or
ordinance
adopting
whatever
model
they
think
best
fits
their
community,
but
it
just
it
gives
that
second
set
of
eyes
and
that's
exactly
what
we've
done
with
this
conviction:
integrity
unit.
H
You
know:
we've
given
a
second
set
of
eyes
to
the
state's
attorney's
office.
Every
case
we
handle
has
the
potential
for
going
through
that
unit.
If
someone
brings
a
complaint,
it'll
go
through
that
unit,
or
I
mean
a
claim
of
innocence,
it
would
go
through
that
unit.
It
would
operate
much
the
same
way.
Okay,.
F
H
H
F
A
H
I
I
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
think
that
that
number
you
know-
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
close
40
is
probably
close.
It
also
depends,
though,
on
how
often
you
have
team
court
yeah,
I
mean
there's,
there's
some
other
expenses
in
there,
but
we've
been
working
again
with
district
111.
I
I
can't
say
enough
how
great
they've
been
to
work
with
we've
been
working
with
their
superintendent
and
her
staff,
I'm
trying
to
trying
to
find
out
how
we
can
partner
with
maybe
with
111,
to
do
that.
I
Jim,
I
wouldn't
plan
on
you
have
to
talk
long,
but
since
you
don't
talk
that
often
I
don't
feel
too
bad
the
to
kind
of
thwart
to
a
different
subject.
The
supreme
court
ruling
the
united
states
supreme
court
ruling
that
that
occurred
in
february
of
last
year
that
kind
of
dealt
with
the
seizures
and
sets
of
fines
and
things
of
that
nature
has
that
had
any
impact
on
your
office.
H
No
well
I
mean
what
has
impacted
our
office.
I
think
every
office,
the
entire
community,
is
what
springfield
has
done
in
eliminating
all
the
court,
fines
which
was
the
funding
source
for
things
like
the
children's
advocacy
center,
where
they
interviewed
kids
that
were
victims
of
rape,
sexual
assault,
removing
the
funding
source
for
teen
court,
which
is
a
good
diversion
program
for
kids.
That's
where
we've
really
felt
the
impact.
It's
narrowed.
H
I
H
H
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments
for
mr
rowe
us
posted
jim.
On
that
grant.
I
will
thank
you
much
all
right.
Thank
you
up.
Next,
we
have
public
defender,
mr
pinowick,
in
your
package.
You
have
a
copy
of
the
monthly
report.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
by
mr
long
second
by
mr
smith,
comments
on
your
port
reported.
K
Basically,
I've
reviewed
it.
The
numbers
are
going
down,
I'm
assuming
that's
because
we're
finally
back
in
court
again,
you
know
having
a
what
amounts
to
a
regular
court
call
every
day,
traffic's
the
only
exception.
That's
something
that
I
need
to
continue
to
look
at
and
try
to
figure
out
some
type
of
solution
for
that.
K
But
beyond
that
you
know
the
numbers
speak
for
themselves.
They
are
going
down
to
some
degree.
Obviously,
numbers
can
be
manipulated
or
fudged.
So
you
know
there's
only
so
much
that
information
tells
us,
but
it's
obviously
better
to
see
the
numbers
going
down
and
then
going
up.
You
know
prolonged
cases.
A
K
K
K
A
G
B
A
K
Very
briefly,
when
miss
steve's
left
my
office
about
a
year
ago,
you
guys
provide
some
additional
funding
to
create
a
full-time
position.
The
person
I
hired
ironically,
is
now
working
with
mr
rowe.
I
am
working
on
a
replacement
for
him
going
through
the
numbers
over
the
last
couple
months.
I
was
giving
him
more
and
more
cases
and
he
was
resolving
more
and
more
cases.
So
the
my
ongoing
goal
about
a
full-time
assistant
was
bearing
fruit.
It
was
much
more
efficient
and
proficient
than
a
part-time
position.
K
I
am
looking
to
hire
a
a
woman
who
is
currently
in
law
school.
She
has
actually
started
in
a
part-time
capacity.
She's
licensed
under
supreme
court
rule
711
to
practice
law
pending
the
bar
results
because
of
kovid.
The
bar
results
were
supposed
to
start
in
july,
or
the
bar
exam
was
supposed
to
start
in
july.
It's
been
pushed
to
I
think
october,
and
I
do
not
know
what
the
results
are
going
to
be.
K
A
H
A
L
L
L
So
we're
working
on
that
and
it
hopefully,
we
can
keep
it
going
with
whatever
happens
so
and
the
second
thing
also
as
a
result
of
pandemic.
Our
juvenile
detention
numbers
are
way
down
this
year
and
I
just
bring
this
up
to
point
out.
You
know
how
much
we're
saving
as
a
result
of
ending
that
agreement
back
in
2018
with
river
valley
when
they
bought
us
out
of
our
ownership.
L
So
and
a
lot
of
that's
because
we
discussed
before
a
lot
of
those
costs
with
detention
are
fixed
cost.
So
when
our
detention
numbers
go
way
down,
the
daily
rate
per
minor
detain
goes
up
so
and
the
other
second
part
of
that
is
that,
because
we're
not
exceeding
our
12-bed
limit
in
our
current
agreement,
our
balance,
our
funding,
should
go
farther
into
fiscal
year
22
than
we
were
planning
on
just
point
that
out.
Yes,
mr.
F
Hunter
comment
time
I,
when
I
heard
you
indicate
that
you
have
a
relationship
with
dwayne
dean
and
I
know
being
on
the
hippocrates
board.
We've
had
a
real,
viable
relationship
with
dwayne
dean
and
ray
cohn
as
well
too,
and
and
I
like
to
see
relationships
with
mbes
wbes,
and
I
applaud
your
efforts
for
us
working
out
that
relationship.
L
Yes,
they've
they've
been
wonderful,
anything,
we
duane
d,
anything
we've
needed
they've,
you
know,
they've
helped.
Us
we've
worked
through
the
problems
that
we
brought
in
weekend
drug
testing,
probably
about
a
year
ago
now,
working
with
dwayne
dean
that
was
put
on
hold,
but
that's
back
so
they've
been
a
huge
help.
J
L
It's
like
a
three-phase
plan
for
the
next
three
or
four
years,
but
there's
a
lot
of
questions
right
around
with
it.
You
know.
Obviously
there
are,
I
can't
believe
they
would
close
all
facilities,
but
the
press
release
sounded
like
they
were
and
we're
going
to
actually
use
the
larger
facilities
to
house
an
adult
within
doc.
L
Overflow.
But
honestly,
there
are
juveniles
that
are
in
custody
for
very
serious
crimes
and
we
have
to
have
a
place
to
house.
Those
and
residential
regional
residential
centers
are
also
concerned
to
me
because
in
illinois
most
no
residential
facilities
are
locked,
they're,
not
locked
facilities,
so
that
you
know
juveniles
can
literally
walk
out.
J
And
so
you
know,
mr
chairman,
that
was
one
I
apologize
when
one
of
the
assumptions
I
had
when
negotiating
with
will
county
on
that
facility
was
that
juvenile
detention
was
really
it's
the
exception
now,
because
it
has
to
be
something
really
heinous,
really
dangerous
or,
as
tom
and
jim
rowe
know
they
cut
the
ankle
bracelet
off
all
the
time,
so
they've
got
to
go
stay
somewhere.
You
know,
that's
that
that
it's
people
don't
want
to
put
kids
in
detention.
J
I
didn't
expect
it
to
evolve
this
quickly
to
where
places
like
our
river
valley,
former
river
valley,
detention
center
won't
even
be
in
existence
potentially,
so
you
know
it
forces
us
to
at
least
think
about
what's
next,
and
this
won't
be
like
what
next
what's
next
tomorrow,
it
could
be.
You
know
22
23
24,
when
we're
gonna
have
to
you
know
we
may
have
a
balance
still
up
at
river
valley,
but
there's
nobody
going
there
see
my
point.
J
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
There
is
a
uprising
of
teen
activity,
I
see
or
youth
may
I
say
in
the
community
and
to
my
knowledge
from
some
police
officers.
These
young
people
are
they're,
renting,
the
u-haul
van
for
19.95
or
getting
someone
who
rent
to
rent
them
for
them
and
they're
going
through
the
neighborhood
shooting.
I
I'm
hoping
at
some
point
that
there's
going
to
be
some
tactical
engagement
in
order
to
detour
this
type
of
behavior,
which
might
mean
that
there
will
be
so
many
some
teams
being
finally
charged
with
with
these
unwarranted
activities
that
they're
doing
the
the
useless
shooting.
So
have
your
office
heard
anything
or
are
you
preparing
yourself,
maybe
for
that
influx
of
teams
that
may
appear
in
the
system.
L
L
L
I
think-
and
I
think
that's
why
this
month
and
you
start
seeing
it
every
month-
grow
our
field,
we're
getting
people
out
of
the
office
and
in
the
field
more
and
more
every
month
we
can
see
people
a
little
safer
in
the
field
and
I
bring
them
in
this
building,
and
so
you
know
we
we
see
that
we
got
to
have
no
eyes
on
them.
We
got
to
be
watching
people,
we
got
to
be
checking
on
them
and
we
got
to
be
in
the
community.
L
I
think
the
plan
for
we
weren't
ready
for
the
pandemic.
I
wasn't
ready
for
it.
We
went
to
the
phones
and
and
trying
to
stay
in
contact
with
people,
but
that
that
works
for
about
a
month
or
so
or
two
months,
and
then
we,
you
know
you're
just
going
to
start.
People
feel
they're
not
on
probation
anymore,
and
so
that's
why
we,
we
met
all
last
week
here,
making
a
plan
to
get
all
everyone
out
back
out
in
the
field
and
out
in
the
community.
L
I
A
M
M
M
M
M
So
that's
a
little
bit
problematic
for
court,
because
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
lag
from
the
time
we
bring
back
the
individuals
who
from
general
population
and
then
bring
the
inmates
who
are
quarantined
for
that
14
days
are
brought
in,
but
everybody's
been
very
cooperative
with
it.
So
it's
not
been
a
big
issue.
M
M
M
I
am
unable
to
communicate
with
you
directly
due
to
the
lawsuit
filed
in
circuit
clerk,
doing
filed
in
circuit
court
titled
illinois,
sheriff's
association
versus
pritzker,
so
they
got
our
bill.
They
just
won't
talk
to
us
unless
they
need
information
from
us.
Then
they'll
talk
to
us,
but
that's
a
whole
other
story,
so
yeah
to
answer
your
question:
yes,
okay,.
M
M
B
H
A
A
I
One
chef,
that's
kind
of
gleaned
away
from
some
of
the
things
you
talked
about.
There's
some
concerns
in
the
pembroke
were
more
specifically
the
hoskin
park
area.
What
I
kind
of
called
operation,
let's
clean
up,
pembroke
hopkins
park,
is
there
any
way
under
homeland
security
or
any
grant
that
we
can
for
that
particular
area,
secure
dollars
to
have
an
officer
or
two
just
in
that
area,
to
kind
of
offset
a
lot
of
the
crime?
I
M
Well,
first
of
all,
any
grant
that
would
be
available
for
that
area
of
pembroke
township
hopkins
park
would
have
to
come
through
another
entity
because
the
grants
have
been
so
misspent
so
misused
over
the
course
of
time
that
they
are
apparently
there's
some
list
out
there.
I
don't
know
what
it
is.
I've
never
seen
it,
but
the
word
is
there's
a
that
hopkins
park
is
not
eligible
for
any
sort
of
funding
and
that's
unfortunate
because
it's
much
needed,
as
you
know,
as
as
your
comments
indicate.
M
We
have,
however,
submitted
a
grant,
for.
I
believe
it's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
additional
policing
that
that
grant
was
submitted
by
us,
the
sheriff's
office,
to
do
that,
so
that
money
would
have
to
come
through
us
to
do
so.
Yeah
that
is
in
the
works.
We've
not
heard
anything
on
it,
but
you
know
we're
trying
to
get
some
policing
out
there
as
well
we're
out
there
every
day,
but
it's
a
big
area,
and
so
sometimes
things
are
going
on.
M
You
know
one
of
the
biggest
complaints
we
get
much
like
in
the
city.
Some
of
the
complaints
we
get
are
four-wheelers
going
all
over.
Those
doesn't
sound
that
serious,
but
there
was
a
serious
accident
there
last
year.
I
believe
where
I
think
an
individual
lost
his
life
and
you
know
so,
but
the
problem
with
four-wheelers
much
like
in
the
city.
Once
you
try
to
stop
them,
they
go
off-road
and
then
police
cars
are,
you
know
we
can't
get
them
so,
but
yeah
they're.
We
have
submitted
a
grant
to
answer
your
question.
F
M
M
They
don't
like
the
fact
that
people
are
locked
up,
whether
they're
illegal
immigrants
or
whether
they're
criminal
arrests
from
our
local
community,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we
have
never
denied
anybody
an
opportunity
to
come
into
our
jail.
Those
individuals,
the
majority
of
those
individuals
involved
with
the
the
group
you
mentioned,
has
been
in
our
jail
as
well.
M
So
I
I
mean
I'm
more
than
willing
to
talk
to
any
group
that
wants
to
talk
about
it.
They
may
not
agree
with.
You
know
what
I'm
doing
or
what
the
jail
does,
but
there
are
standards.
There
are
rules.
There
are
things
that
we
do
that
we
go
by,
and
so
I
I
mean
I
don't
know
what
else
they
had.
It
was
a,
I
think
it
was
an
informative
meeting.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Just
to
to
let
people
know
the
the
county
for
hopkins
park
is
acting
as
the
fiscal
agent
on
the
natural
gas
pipeline,
so
we
can
access
grants
and
mayor
hodge
has
been
a
great
partner
in
that
pembroke.
Township
has
shown
no
interest
in
discussing
that.
I'm
not
saying
they
don't
want
to,
but
they
haven't
been
part
of
any
of
those
discussions.
J
J
You
know
there's
too
much
out
there
and
they
know
that
it's
it
was
a.
It
was
a
place
where
money
just
disappeared
and
so
anything
going
forward,
we're
absolutely
all
in
for
helping
hopkins
park,
and
the
sheriff
is
too,
I
mean
with
the
cops
grant
with
school
resource
officers.
You
know,
there's
different
things
that
could
really
help.
You
know
the
area
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
definitely
involved
in
that
in
helping
us
in
any
way.
We
can
right
so.
M
M
Those
numbers
are
down
significantly,
so
we
think
those
are
going
to
go
back
up
we're
fairly
certain
they're
going
to
go
back
up
so
we're
in
the
process
of
working
with
some
local
vendors
to
see.
If
we
can
get
some
prices.
Look
at
all
the
options,
whether
they're
new
used.
Whatever
we
did,
I
believe
it
was
last
year
we
do
have
a
bus
that
is
available
to
us.
It
is
actually
on
our
property.
M
M
M
Yeah,
so
control
slowed
a
little
bit
during
the
lockdown,
which
actually
was
a
good
thing.
We
felt
like
with
people
at
home.
They
were
much
more
able
to
care
for
their
animals,
so
it
did
slow
a
little
bit
it's.
It
has
picked
back
up
now
and
you
know
it's
operating.
You
know
very
well
kerry's
doing
a
great
job.
M
M
G
Let
me
see,
can
you
hear
me
a
little
bit
better?
Yes,
yeah,
that's
good!
Okay!
What
it
is
is
I
just
my
question
was
in
regards
to
intergovernmental
agreement
with
villages
between
the
animal
control.
I
two
days
ago,
I
had
a
call
from
one
of
the
residents
of
my
district
expressing
some
concerns
because
she
called
him
animal
control,
an
ambulance
right
then.
M
Yeah
the
villages
are
the
villages
want
to
get
this
done.
They
want
a
contract
with
animal
control
as
it
works.
Now,
if
there's
an
animal
issue
in
a
village
or
municipality,
the
municipality
handles
it.
First
they
handle
the
initial
call
and
then
they
make
the
determination
themselves
whether
or
not
they
call
animal
control,
because
that
will
ultimately
result
in
animal
control
charging
that
local
municipality
or
village.
M
What
the
contract
would
do
would
allow
for
animal
control
to
respond,
because
the
villages
and
municipalities
are
paying
a
flat
would
be
would
pay
a
flat
rate.
So
there
would
be
no
issue
with
the
let's
take,
for
instance,
the
the
city
of
kankakee.
If
the
city
of
kankakee
were
to
call
and
and
say
hey,
we
have
this
animal,
can
you
come
and
get
it?
M
The
villages
and
municipalities
right
now
use
some
discretion
as
to
what
they
want
to
do
with
an
animal
right
now,
so
they
may
hang
on
to
that
animal
for
a
while
see
if
they
can
find
the
owner
in
the
future
that
wouldn't
that
they
would
more
than
likely
just
turn
it
right
over
to
animal
control,
animal
control
and
then
deal
with
and
try
to
find
the
owner.
I
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question,
but.
M
That
they
are
absolutely
they
are
they
they
bourbon
a
and
a
couple.
Others
have
actually
called
us
during
the
the
whole
lockdown,
and
so
they
are
chomping
at
the
bit
to
get
moving
on
this
again,
you
know
we
went
through.
We
went
back
20
years
to
see
what
municipalities
we're
paying
animal
control,
and
then
we
have
it.
M
We
have
added
a
little
bit
of
cost
on
what
their
average
is
just
because
we
think
once
we
contract
with
them,
our
call
volume
will
probably
go
up,
and
so
we've
we
have
a
number
for
each
municipality,
we're
just
we're
just
putting
the
contracts
together.
I
know
that
I
believe
that
we
are
working
with
one
of
mr
rose
assistants
to
help
us
make
sure
that
language
is
good,
but
yeah
bradley
is
very
interested.
G
M
M
M
However,
they
can
make
it
difficult
and
of
course
we
figured
that
would
happen
and
that's
what's
going
on
right
now,
the
day
that
we
brought.
So
it
was
a
week
ago
monday
that
the
decision
came
out
and
cook
county
actually
brought
a
bus
down
to
the
only
department
of
corrections.
On
that
same
day,
we
went
the
next
day
along
with
a
lot
of
other
counties.
M
The
disappointing
part
was
there
were
really
no
accommodations
made
by
the
illinois
department
of
corrections
for
any
sort
of
expedited
process.
We
understand
that,
basically,
what
they
were
doing
is
they
were
rapid
testing
every
inmate
that
came
into
their
door
and
they
told
us,
as
we
were
waiting
in
line
anybody
who
tests
positive.
M
Our
officers
got
home
at
nine
o'clock.
That
night
we
had
three
transport
vehicles,
we
had
32
inmates
and
they
sat
out
in
the
drive
into
stateville
that
whole
time,
no
bathroom,
no
food,
no
medication,
it
was
an
embarrassment,
it
was
a
flat
out
embarrassment
and
we
literally
had
to
send
another
person
up
with
food
with
our
own
food.
M
We
had
to
borrow
a
gallon
milk
jug
from
another
county,
so
our
guys
on
our
bus
could
go
to
the
bathroom,
it's
atrocious
and
I'm
sure
that
was
by
design,
I'm
sure
they're
all
upset,
because
god
forbid
somebody
questioned
our
governor,
but
it
was
ridiculous.
So
now
we
have
six
more
who
are
ready
to
go.
We
have
notified
illinois
department
of
corrections,
and
so
now
we
are
on
hold,
and
now
we
wait
for
them
to
tell
us
we
can
bring
them.
M
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
game
that
the
state
of
illinois
will
play,
for.
God
knows
how
long,
but
it
was
a
shame
when
you
talk
about
local
jails,
trying
to
do
the
right
thing
and
treating
people
the
right
way,
and
then
you
go
there
and
sit
in
line
for
what
10
hours,
no
bathroom,
no
food,
no
medication.
We
had
three
diabetics.
We
had
to
bring
insulin
from
our
facility
up
to
stateville
so
that
we
could
get
our
people
insulin.
M
M
Normally
our
agencies
all
work
together
pretty
well,
but
for
whatever
reason
didn't
happen
this
time
so
we'll
we
will
be
prepared,
though,
and
then
lastly
just
to
show
this
committee,
we
just
got
this
in
the
mail.
I
don't
know
why,
because
this
happened
actually
in
june,
but
this
is
our
certificate
of
accreditation
from
the
national
commission
on
correctional
health
care
that
we
continue
to
be
accredited
through
that
agency.
M
That
is
basically
a
best
practice
for
medical
care
of
inmates,
and
it's
something
that
our
medical
department
is
very
proud
of.
It's
something
I'm
very
proud
of,
and
for
those
out
there
that
are
saying
that
you
know
they
don't
get
mad
inmates,
don't
get
medical
treatment
and
blah
blah
blah.
They
get
better
treatment
in
our
custody
than
anybody
in
this
room.
M
G
A
A
A
J
But
we
did
have
a
conversation
about
that
and
I
I
was
going
to
talk
to
the
sheriff
about
that
offline.
But
let's
let
the
committee
know
that
that
you
know
it's.
We
all
have
political
differences,
but
I
think
there
was
genuine
concern
about
what
was
going
on
in
this
area
and
the
power
outages,
and
I
asked
him
to
to
see
if
he
could
do
what
he
could
on
the
on
his
side
of
things
to
help
get
the
power
restored,
because
we
can
disagree
on
things.
J
J
So
when
I
took
my
son
to
a
hotel
out
of
the
area
because,
as
I
told
the
governor,
I
have
a
cpap
and
if
you
don't
have
electricity,
you
don't
sleep
and
he
said
he
the
same
thing
for
him.
I'm
sure
he
might
know
where
he
has
a
hotel
he
could
go
to,
but
the
the
the
the
one
side
of
it
is
is,
though,
that
there
there
is
a
sympathy
there
of
what's
going
on
and
he's
concerned
about,
the
citizens
and
it's
genuine,
but
we
just
do
have
other
disagreements.
J
So
as
far
as
ayma
goes,
I
think
we
got
our
hands
around
everything
here.
We
don't.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
residents
who
are
who
are
hurting
with
damage.
I
know
a
couple
in
this
room,
probably
who
may
have
had
some
things
that
have
gone
really
sideways
on
them,
but
I
would
say,
communicate
with
if,
if
you
have
some
serious
things
with
emergency
management,
get
a
hold
of
becky
powell
out
of
the
sheriff's
department.
So
just
as
kind
of
an
update,
there
was
a
ex
parte
communication.
I
thought
I'd
pass
along
so.
M
F
I
I
I
see
the
city
is
out
working
and
getting
some
things,
but
my
comment
I
want.
Sometimes
we
have
individuals
in
our
midst
and
sometimes
they
make
the
job
look
real
easy
because
you
just
see
them
and
sometimes
they
go
under
the
radar.
And
sometimes
we
don't
say
thank
you
enough
and
I
want
to
say
a
special
thank
you
to
kelly,
no
matter
whom
or
when
I
call
and
I'm
sure
other
county
board
members
and
chairmans
and
other
individuals
call.
I
This
individual
makes
the
job
look
easy.
She
gets
on
things
right
away
and
a
lot
of
times.
We
have
her
in
our
presence,
but
we
never
say
thank
you.
So
I
just
want
to
publicly
say
thank
you
to
kelly
for
all
that
she
does
or
whether
it
doesn't
go
unnoticed,
even
though
I
know
that
many
times
she
could
be
up
on
the
radar
getting
things
out
to
everybody
in
the
whole
nine
yards.
I
A
M
Yes,
I
would
also
agree
kelly.
You
do
a
great
job.
Also,
we
have
not
had
power,
we
have
been
on
generator
power
at
the
jail
since
the
storm
still
on
generator
power,
as
of
today,
we
have
been
told
could
possibly
be
this
afternoon.
We
could
be
back
on
regular
power,
but
we
have
been
on
generator
at
the
jail
and
the
sheriff's
complex
as
well.
