A
A
B
A
I
have
not
received
anything
for
public
comment
at
this
time.
Is
there
any
public
comment?
Any
public
comment
move
on
to
the
approval
limits
from
October
12
2022,
my
extra
my
Miss
Peters,
second
bye,
Mr
kirkstra,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
oppose
same
sign.
Motion
carries
up
next
chief
judge,
Mr
Covington.
A
C
Just
a
couple
things
to
report
on
today,
the
basement
project,
the
renovation
of
the
basement
at
the
courthouses,
is
well
underway.
They
are
have
made
amazing
progress
in
just
three
days.
C
They
started
on
Monday
and
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
a
number
of
people,
mainly
Wes
Andrews
and
the
Dana
Goodrich,
and
the
whole
maintenance
staff
that
just
moved
thousands
and
thousands
of
pounds
of
equipment
and
records
and
books
and
desks
and
computers,
and
we
have
all
the
people
moved
out
of
the
basement
now,
except
for
one
or
two
people
in
the
control
room.
They
have
to
be
down
there
to
monitor
the
the
recording
system,
so
that
is
they're
now
saying
possibly
four
months
for
completion
for
that
project.
C
And
actually
Sandy's
Sandy's
staff
as
well
the
clerks
in
getting
all
those
records
out
of
there
and
down
to
Rantoul
to
be
microfilmed
is
that
was
a
Herculean
task
that
was
completed
in
a
timely
manner,
so
that's
ongoing
and
we
can't
wait
to
see
the
results
so
the
the
the
new
case
management
system.
C
If
you
recall
at
the
last
meeting,
we
decided
to
go
with
Tyler
Technologies
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
negotiating
the
contract
with
them
and
we
have
Jano
the
Jano
company
as
a
backup
to
them
if
negotiations
fall
through.
So
that's
that's
ongoing
as
well.
C
Alderman
Hunter
there
you're
you're,
silent
yeah,
I'm.
D
Just
you're
very
thorough,
R6.
A
A
There
you
go
is
that
better
I
don't
see
Sandy
here,
take
a
motion
to
put
her
or
approve
her
monthly
report.
Mr
eckoff
second
by
Mr
Swanson,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
oppose
the
same.
Sign
motion
carries
up
next
Mr
Rowe
State's
Attorney
in
your
package.
You
have
a
copy
of
the
grand
jury
report
and
the
grand
jury
statistics
report.
Take
a
motion
to
combine
them
and
approve
them.
Mr,
kerryco
and
Mr
Fairfield
morning
Jim
good
morning.
E
So
you
can
see,
through
the
November
3rd
grand
jury,
we're
up
to
693
indictments,
which
is
probably
less
than
we've
had
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
that's
promising!
You
will
note
that
there
are
10
murders
listed
on
there
that
speak.
That
doesn't
mean
that
10
of
them
occurred
this
year.
Five
murders
have
been
charged
this
year
alone
that
were
old
cases.
They
were
kind
of
cold
cases
for
a
while
those
were
all
in
the
city
of
Kankakee.
E
They
worked
the
hell
out
of
those
cases
over
the
last
couple
years
and
got
those
in
a
position
where
we
were.
We
were
able
to
charge
them.
So
that's
why
that
number
jumped
up
substantially
all
of
a
sudden
and
if
you
look
down
the
offenses
other
than
narcotic
offenses.
What
really,
unfortunately,
is
leading.
It
are
still
the
felony
domestics
and
the
firearm
offenses.
A
No
questions
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
all
right.
Thank
you.
That's
it!
You
don't
want
to
mention
anything
about
the
case
coming
to
Kankakee
County.
No,
it's
pending!
Okay
up
next
public
defender's
office,
Mr
pemowick
in
the
package
have
a
copy
of
his
monthly
report.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
Mr
Fairfield
second
by
Mr
Snipes
good
morning.
A
A
A
G
What
well
I
guess
will
be
January
we'll
have
our
your
totals.
We
can
compare
them
to
pastures
and
see
where
we're
at
with
contacts
and
everything
and
detention
days.
So
but
obviously
that'll
be
a
couple
months.
So.
G
And
I'll
be
very
quick,
also
the
I
guess.
Last
month,
I
reported
that
we
filled
those
two
two
of
the
three
vacancies.
I
think
I
reported
that
last
month,
they're
in
place
working
or
working
on
that
third
one
and
then
we'll
see
what
happens
in
January
as
I
discuss
before
we
might
get
more
positions,
but
that's
a
conversation
you
have
with
the
board
and
the
chief
judge
and
the
state.
So
that's
gotta.
It's
going
to
take
several
months
to
work
out.
If
that's
even
possible.
Those.
G
A
G
You
know
it's
a
conversation
we
had
to
have
but
I
know,
I
say
when
talking
about
January
1st
I,
say:
I,
don't
know
a
lot,
but
again
I,
don't
know
we'll
see
what
what
happens
after
with
the
with
all
that
so
and
lastly,
it's
a
drug
court.
Thank
you,
everyone.
It
was
a
huge
success
and
the
drug
court
team
wanted
me
to
tell
you
all
that
they
appreciate
it
great
turnout
and
they
did
well.
They
don't
have
totals
yet,
or
at
least
I'm
they're
gonna
text
me
this
morning.
G
Well,
because
that
agreement
ended
now,
we
have
to
I
have
been
talking
to
Will
County.
They
would
like
to
enter
in
some
sort
of
a
into
some
sort
of
intergovernmental
agreement.
G
Obviously
we'll
discuss
it
here,
I
believe
we
could
keep
the
rate
down
by
getting
into
an
agreement
with
them.
So
right
now
we're
paying
that
daily
rate,
which
is
what
they
charge.
Everyone
we'll
continue
to
do
that,
but
hopefully
maybe
we
can
work
on
that,
how
much
that
daily
rate
is
and
lower
it
a
little
bit,
but
our
detention
days
continue
to
be
down
so
good.
D
Mr
carrico
thanks
Mr
chairman,
so
I
have
a
question
I'm
under
the
my
understanding
is
that
you
guys
well
guys
we're
uterilizing
acupuncture
with
a
drug
court
program
and
right
now,
I
think
you're.
Looking
for
someone
am
I,
correct,
yeah,
I'm,
correct,
yes,
okay,
so
I'm,
assuming
that
that
is
was
something
that
was
beneficial,
that
you
still
wanted
to
continue
with
it.
G
Yes,
my
the
the
response
I
got
from
well
judge,
Kramer,
judge,
Lewinsky
and
and
our
officers
that
it
was
very
well
received
and
a
lot
of
people
participated
in
it.
So,
yes,
we
were
looking
to
continue
it
so.
D
G
Yes,
provide
the
service
yeah.
We
still
have
someone
in
place
as
of
right
now
that
we're
working
with,
but
yes,
we're
looking
for
another
partner
sounds
good.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
H
I
won't
do
that
a
couple
things
on
the
report
that
I
think
are
important.
With
with
what's
going
on
are
out
of
county
numbers.
H
I
know
we
were
a
little
bit
concerned
last
year
when
the
Illinois
legislature
and
the
governor
took
away
ice
and
I
know.
That
was
a
big
concern
here
locally
because
of
the
revenue.
Last
year
our
average
daily
population
Nevada
County
inmates
was
250.
H
this
year,
it's
287.,
so
we've
actually
gone
up,
which
we
did
not
anticipate
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
Champaign
County
and
also
an
increase
in
the
feds
out
of
Chicago.
So
that's
been
a
that's
been
a
surprise,
a
pleasant
surprise,
actually
from
a
revenue
standpoint,
and
these
numbers
are
through
from
December
1st
2021
to
October
31st
of
2022.
So
just
recently,
the
only
number
this
doesn't
include
will
be
November
our
local
inmates.
H
Last
year
we
averaged
246,
and
this
year
we're
averaging
229,
so
that
number
has
dropped,
which
goes
to
show
people
that
we
are
not
housing,
people
that
shouldn't
be
in
jail.
Those
people
are
out
hopefully
doing
something.
Productive
and
the
ones
that
are
in
custody
right
now
should
be
in
custody
and
most
should
go
to
prison
for
a
very
long
time,
which
brings
me
to
revenue.
Last
year,
total.
H
We
brought
in
7.2
million
in
our
account
out
of
County
housing
this
year.
We're
projected
to
be
at
about
7.8
million.
So
by
a
time
by
the
time
next
year,
I
I
apologize
that
that
is
I
disregard
that
last
statement.
Our
projection
for
2022,
we
brought
in
7.9
million
in
2021..
H
Our
projection
for
2022
is
going
to
be
about
8.6
million,
which
is
going
to
be
about
three
quarters
of
a
million
dollars
more
than
what
we
did
last
year
in
a
year
that
we
didn't
think
we
could
do
so
credit
to
our
Corrections
staff,
our
Corrections
and
jail
Administration
who've
done
great
work.
Now,
if
we
can
only
find
employees
that
has
been
a
challenge
continues
to
be
a
challenge.
If
you
we've
been
to
the
colleges
we
have
been
to,
we
have
been
on
social
media
as
of
three
days
ago.
H
We
are
now
on
billboards
in
town,
the
digital
billboards.
This
board
was
kind
enough
to
pass
what
I
would
consider
a
really
good
contract
and
we're
hoping
that
that
helps
us
in
the
next
couple
months.
H
So
as
as
we
continue
with
the
revenue
being
as
short
staffed
as
we
are.
We've
also
spent
a
lot
of
overtime,
money,
filling
those
posts
so
somewhat
of
a
wash,
but
at
least
we're
able
to
cover
that.
That's
the
important
part.
H
Continuing
on
the
correction
side,
one
of
the
numbers
that
sticks
out
to
me
this
year
is
the
number
of
inmates
that
have
been
sentenced
to
prison
in
2021,
there
was
145
as
of
December
31st,
we're
at
109,
which
is
down
now.
Why
is
that
down?
There's
a
couple
reasons
those
that
are
in
jail
are
currently
in
jail
for
serious
offenses
and
more
than
likely,
not
willing
to
take
a
plea
deal.
H
And
this
one
is
this
one
just
floors
me:
some
we've
actually
heard
on
inmate
telephone
calls
waiting
for
January
1st.
That
tells
you
anything.
So
that's
where
we're
at
with
with
that
questions,
on
the
correction
side,.
A
H
H
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about
and
we
we
presented
I
presented-
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
able
to
present
to
the
chamber
with
Jim
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
one
of
the
interesting
numbers
that
came
out
of
some
of
the
things
that
we
were
sharing
are
citations
and
everybody
thinks
that
when
they
get
pulled
over
by
the
police
they're
getting
a
ticket
and
if
you
look
at
our
numbers
in
2022
through
the
first-
and
this
is
a
little
bit
confusing,
because
our
the
sworn
side
numbers
are
from
January
1st
to
December
31st,
our
Corrections
numbers
are
from
November
1st
to
November
30th
calendar
year
versus
fiscal
year
and
in
calendar
year,
2022
January
1st,
through
October
we've
written
3328,
total
citations,
which
includes
warnings.
H
And
if
you
look
at
those
warning
numbers,
We've
written
1566
warnings
and
1762
citations,
which
calculates
out
to
there's
a
possibility
that
you
would
be
at
there's
a
53
chance,
you'll
get
a
ticket
and
there's
a
47
chance.
You
get
a
warning
so
rounding
those
numbers,
basically
you're.
Looking
at
there's
a
50
50
chance,
you're
getting
a
ticket
which
you
know
what
does
that
mean
a
lot
of?
It
means
your
attitude,
probably
how
you
respond
when
the
police
stop
you.
So
it's
not
everybody.
H
You
know
we're
not
stopping
people
to
write
tickets,
we're
not
stopping
people
for
Revenue
we're
stopping
people
to
keep
our
roadway
safe,
so
I
think
that's
an
important
number,
a
couple
things
that
we've
added
this
year
on
the
report.
The
mental
health
calls
we've
had
15,
and
this
is
just
County.
This
isn't.
This
is
Kankakee
County,
Sheriff's
Office.
This
isn't
every
agency,
but
we've
had
15
calls
mental
health
calls
where
an
individual
is
having
a
mental
health
episode
that
we've
dealt
with
and
again
this
is
Kankakee
County.
H
A
H
H
A
A
H
H
Lastly,
Animal
Control:
this
is
a
hate
to
sound
like
a
broken
record,
but
we're
full
of
dogs.
So
anybody
needing
a
dog.
We
have
a
couple
that
are
very
adoptable,
but
you
know
they're
doing
a
good
job
over
there.
You
know
they're.
H
The
unfortunate
part
is
the
the
shelters
up
north,
where
we
normally,
who
normally
take
a
lot
of
our
dogs
they're
full
as
well,
because
of
a
lot
of
it
is
because
of
the
Hurricanes
down
in
Florida,
some
of
the
other
stuff,
so
they're
doing
the
best
they
can
out
there
with
with
what
they
have
and
and
anybody
that
needs
an
animal.
We
got
one
for
you.
I
Thanks
Mr
chairman
Sheriff:
do
you
have
any
comments
on
Tim?
Do
you
have
any
comments
on
how
your
department
did
during
the
wind
storm?
Saturday
I
saw
them
going
east
west,
north
south
everywhere.
H
Well,
any
any
time
there's
any
sort
of
storm
snow,
wind
yeah
we
were,
we
were
going
everywhere
and
credit
to
them.
You
know
the
other
thing
that
that
I've
talked
about
before
is
just
the
cooperation
with
all
the
other
police
agencies.
H
You
know,
I,
think
it's
important
that
we
combine
resources
when
we
have
to
and
and
those
incidents
call
for
combining
resources
so
that
everybody
can
at
least
get
some
help
when
they
need
it.
So
yeah
our
guys,
did
a
great
job
during
that
storm,
the
Windstorm
it
was.
It
was
bad.
It
was
I
know
there
was
some
damage,
fortunately,
no
loss
of
life,
so
that
you
know
obviously
is
first
and
foremost
the
damage
can
be
fixed,
so
yeah,
but
they
did
a
great
job.
I
appreciate
you
asking
yeah.
A
J
No
I
don't
have
any
comments
on
them.
Well
then,.
A
J
Just
want
to
go
over:
what's
our
most
of
office,
Eric
and
I,
our
staff
and
Mr
Mr
Rowe
back
there
and
his
group
we've
been
going
all
over
to
the
we've
done:
11
different
programs
since
June
12th,
and
we're
still
got
we're
at
we're
at
Kankakee
High
School.
Today
we
got
Bradley
and
Mantino
and
Saint
Anne
to
do
yet.
We've
had
nothing
but
good
comments
about.
J
What's
going
on
out,
there,
we've
been
to
different
luncheons,
also
and
talked
about
the
overdose
problems
in
Kankakee
County,
so
we're
getting
out
as
much
as
we
can.
It's
been
really
nice
to
talk
to
some
of
the
people.
They
didn't
realize
how
bad
Kankakee
County
was
so
other
than
that.
J
It's
also
too,
on
just
saves
that
they
overdoses
there
we've
had
a
little
over
30
saves
of
Narcan
as
a
sheriff
just
talked
about
a
county.
Has
a
few
saves
out
there.
It's
it's!
It's
remarkable
of
the
cooperations
we're
getting
with
with
the
police
departments
and
also
EMS,
and
also
both
hospitals
so
appreciate
that
other
than
that
we're
sitting
at
41
overdoses
to
three
pending,
which
is
last
year,
we're
at
43
overdoses
total
we're.
J
Actually
doing
an
autopsy
at
nine
o'clock
on
an
overdose,
so
again
it's
still
up
in
the
upper
eyes,
so
I'll
take
any
questions
on
that
also
I
said.
I
would
like
to
thank
Jim
Rowe
and
your
group
miles
and
Mike
who
sets
up
all
these
programs
I
appreciate
their
their
work
that
they
do.
Thank
you.
F
Before
I
get
into
my
good
question,
I
met
your
lookalike
down
in
Springfield
the
other
day
that
Larry
made
sure
that
I
saw
he
talked
like
you
look
just
like
he
could
be
your
twin
brother
and
so
didn't
notice
it
until
he
told
me
he
brought
it
to
my
attention
and
I
know
the
guy
for
years.
But
when
I
looked
at
him,
I
said
you're
right,
he
does
look
like
Bob
Gibson.
So
maybe
we'll
have
him
come
down
and
do
one
of
your
a
workshop.
F
They
wouldn't
know
the
difference
except
and
I
can
with
that
being
said,
the
we
know
that
the
holiday
season
is
vastly
approaching,
and
we
also
know
from
Pride
history,
data
and
research
that
suicide
tends
to
be
at
a
higher
level.
F
F
If
there's
a
way,
we
see
some
of
our
churches
and
things
getting
involved
to
kind
of
house
them,
but
when
we
foresee,
if
we
just
kind
of
had
a
projected
forecast
of
during
these
winter
months,
and
is
there
anything
that's
in
place
where
we
can
kind
of
be
proactive
in
the
approach
versus
reactive.
J
I
understand
in
in
your
sheet
there
you'll
see
that
our
suicides
are
up
in
the
Kankakee
County,
extremely
up,
mostly
Tenon
firearms
and
seven
and
hangings.
When
you
talk
to
the
families
and
all
that
it's
usually
a
a
split
in
the
family
or
depression
lost
his
job
can't
take
it
anymore,
or
some
people
have
cancer
extremely
bad
where
they
can't
they
can't
take
it,
and
that's
usually
when
the
Firearms
are
are
used.
J
So
yeah
we're
seeing
an
uprising
that
also
to
in
the
cardiac
death
Sarah,
talked
to
Mr
carico
there
and
lined
his
program
up
to
be
able
to
talk
about
cardiac
to
his
District
out
there.
Whenever
he
gives
me
a
date,
I
appreciate
your
concern
about
that.
Also
cardiac
is
a
is,
is
way
up
to
hustle.
So
that's
about
all
I
can
tell
you
on
that.
We'll
see
you
today
then.
D
J
And
my
congratulations:
everybody
I
wasn't
around
town
for
the
election.
I
was
in
upper
Michigan,
enjoying
the
great
weather
up
there
and
my
allergies,
weren't
bad
I
come
back
here
and
whether
they're
going
again.
