Description
Executive Committee Meeting 10/28/2020 9:00 AM
A
B
A
Thank
you.
Nothing
had
no
public
comment
today.
Approval
of
the
minutes
motion
to
looks
like
we
have
I'd
like
to
get
a
motion
to
combine
the
minutes
in
the
vap
vac
report.
So
we
don't
have
to
do
separate
roll
calls.
Can
I
get
a
motion
for
that?
We'll
go
with
mr
hatz
and
mr
hunter.
Let's
do
roll
call
and
zoom
please.
C
D
A
Was
on
here
all
those
in
the
room
say:
aye,
those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
under
legislative
steve.
You
didn't
have
anything
today.
I
had
just
a
couple
of
things
to
mention.
You
may
remember
that
we
were.
We
joined
the
illinois
state
association
of
counties
for
the
rest
of
this
budget
year.
They
were
kind
of
letting
us
dip
our
toe
in
the
water
get
the
information.
A
We
have
two
board
seats
to
fill
this
up
coming
year
and
plus
a
separate
legislative
committee
seat
to
fill
on
that
association.
Now
those
are
mostly
made
up
of
the
large
metro
and
collar
and
collar-collar
counties.
If
you
will
the
outer
ring
outside
of
that,
but
then
there's
a
few
downstate
counties
as
well.
A
I
also
just
got
through
negotiating
instead
of
4
900
down
to
3
000
for
the
next
year.
We
included
it
in
the
budget,
so
you
will
have
to
make
a
decision.
The
board
will
in
december
to
proceed
on
that,
and
you
know
the
budgetary
has
already
been
accounted
for.
But
again
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
a
new
board
has
to
decide.
As
far
as
and
then
there'll
be.
A
You
know
appointments
to
those
types
of
positions
as
well,
so
kind
of
keep
that
in
mind,
if
you're
so
interested
in
some
of
those
and
then
let
the
the
administration
know,
and
that
can
be
at
the
end
of
november,
beginning
in
december.
So
talk
more
about
that
later.
The
other
thing
was
the
kenki
river
basin,
yellow
river
basin
development.
Commission,
that's
the
river
commission!
A
I
at
least
wanted
to
give
an
update
that
they're
they're
awarding
bids
for
kind
of
structure,
work
that
they're
doing
on
the
yellow
river,
where
it
meets
into
the
to
the
kankakee,
that's
a
major
source
of
sand
from
the
yellow
river
and
so
they're
they're,
starting
some
of
that.
The
mitigation
efforts
over
there.
It's
a
combination
of
a
new,
an
engineering
firm
along
with
christopher
burke
who's,
been
there
they're
they're
in
a
supportive
role.
Now
christopher
burke
is
with
they
have
the
history,
the
studies
everything
that's
that's
going
on.
A
There
is
a
extensive
work
plan
for
the
indiana
side
of
the
river
and
also
recommendations
for
the
illinois
side,
so
that
that
commission,
if
you
will
has
been
kind
of
but
because
of
covid
resources,
were
very
thin,
so
this
next
year
is
when
their
tax
levy
starts.
They'll
start
having
you
know,
income
coming
into
that
commission
they're,
going
to
start
executing
on
their
work
plan.
They've
also
got
two
side-by-side,
side-by-side
large
farms
that
are
just
on
the
other,
the
the
west
side.
A
If
you
will
about
maybe
three
miles
down
the
road
in
maybe
about
five
or
six
miles
down
the
road
in
indiana
from
41
and
it's
the
thayer
farm
and
I
believe
well,
I'm
bring
cramping
on
the
name.
It's
like
the
blackberry
farm
right
next
door.
Each
of
them
are
over
200
acres.
It
doesn't
seem
like
a
lot.
A
It's
massive
and
those
are
are
dedicated
towards
a
flexible
flood
plain
if
you
will,
where
they'll,
open
up
the
gates
and
let
during
high
water
events,
the
water
will
flood
up
to
five
feet
deep
on
those
sides,
so
they're
they're
investing
in
retention
because
they
know
it's
not
just
about
how
much
water
to
get
to
the
river.
It's
where
you
can,
let
it
be
a
river
and
flood,
so
it
doesn't
flood
around
infrastructure
within
towns.
So
there's
a
lot
more
of
that
that's
needed.
A
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
it
here,
but
I
want
to
give
you
an
update
on
what
we're
working
on
over
there,
because
at
some
point,
someone's
going
to
be
have
to
join
me
from
the
board
to
start
up
to
speed
on
these
things.
So
we'll
look
for
someone
who
plans
on
being
involved
with
the
river
or
currently,
a
sportsman
who
enjoys
fishing
has
time
on
the
river.
Maybe
has
some
history,
those
decisions.
A
I
would
like
to
start
bringing
somebody
with
me
as
we
start
going
forward,
so
there
can
be
either
proxies
or
someone
who
might
take
over
and
run
with
it
when
my
term
on
that
organization
expires
or
after
that,
whatever
we
decide
is
appropriate.
So
I
just
want
to
mention
that
to
the
executive
committee,
while
the
the
appointment
comes
to
the
individual,
not
the
position
I
take
right
now.
It
should
always
be
somebody
that's
on
the
board
here.
So,
mr
hunter,
do
you
have
a
question,
mr.
A
Sure
the
the
the
monies
that
senator
joyce
got.
Okay,
I
want
to
say
it
was
seven
million
dollars
in
one
get.
If
you
will
well,
no,
it
was
six,
but
then
it
was
another
million
that
was
just
for
the
county
board
to
do
flood
mitigation
and
river
initiatives
here.
So
there's
a
million
for
us.
If
you
will
the
county
board
and
that's
appropriated
through
the
capital
bill,
and
then
there
was
another
six
correct,
it
was
a
seven
total,
and
that
was
the
discussion
that
senator
had.
A
Problem
in
one
of
the
issues
is:
if
you
spend
all
your
money
on
equipment,
then
you
don't
have
any
money
to
run
it
and
you
still
have
a
place
to
put
the
sand
because
that's
a
major
problem
and
it's
the
kind
of
sand
that
is
not
saleable.
There
is
no
commercial
use
for
it
beyond
tilling
it
into
farmland,
to
actually
make
it
more
drainable,
which
is
actually
a
decent
use.
I
mean
out
especially
in
the
western
part
of
the
county.
The
soils
are
almost
too
rich,
you
know
so
you
have
drunk.
A
You
know
some
issues
out
there,
but
there
really
isn't
a
value
to
the
sand
per
se.
There's
just
man,
I
think
if
you
lined
up
rail
cars
with
how
much
sand
we'd
have
to
get
out
of
the
river,
it
would
stretch
from
here
to
kansas
city
missouri.
That's
how
long
that
train
would
be
that's
how
much
sand
is
in
the
river
and
those
aren't.
Those
are
studies
that
happened
long
ago
with
j.r,
black
and
others.
So
I
brought
senator
joyce
over
there
to
meet
that
river
commission.
A
The
the
head
of
the
indiana
department
of
natural
resources
was
on
this
trip.
We
went
to
state
line
bridge
and
a
couple
of
those
those
flexible
flooding
zones.
If
you
will
that
I
mentioned
so
we're
just
starting
to
get
him
aware
of
what
they're
doing,
because
it's
not
all
about
getting
the
sand
out.
Because
guess
what
happens
you
get
the
sand
out
and
it
fills
right
back
in
until
you
stop
it
in
indiana.
That's
what
they're
working
on
so
while
the
senator's
id
is
a
good
one.
A
It
may
be
a
little
premature
to
invest
in
equipment,
maybe
that
money's
better
used
for
matching
grants
to
help
temporarily
move
things
out
of
the
way
roma
park
mouth
of
the
iroquois.
You
know
things
like
that
to
be
determined.
I
guess
is
the
long
answer
to
your
short
question,
but
there's
a
lot
of
conversations
going
and
that'll
ramp
up
in
the
next
year.
A
It
good
problems
to
have
because
usually
you're
talking
about
how
do
we
get
money
now
it's
like
okay,
what's
where's
the
money
best
utilized
in
the
short
and
long
term,
so
I
couldn't
say
we
have
a
better
friend
than
pat
joyce
as
far
as
the
river
goes
right
now,
that's
for
sure
in
springfield,
senator
parkhurst
has
been
very
yeah.
Well,
you
know
senator
parker
representative
parkhurst
that
that
situation
in
roma
park
is
untenable.
A
The
sand
has
choked
out
the
entry
point
for
the
rescue
boat,
so
you
can't
even
get
the
boat
on
the
river
in
the
boating,
the
rescue
boat
in
the
boating
part
of
the
river.
That's
a
real
problem.
The
sand
is
just
completely
choked
out,
so
they
got
to
come
all
the
way
down
to
kankakee
to
put
their
rescue
boat
in
to
go
right
back
up.
A
You
know:
250
yards
out,
yeah
six
miles,
it's
a
real
problem
and
that's
the
the
township
fire
department,
who's
who's.
Dealing
with
that
and
and
to
me
that's
a
life
safety
issue.
So
maybe
that's
that's
part
of
where
that
could
go.
I
would
think
that
our
million,
maybe
a
hundred
grand
of
it,
would
be
matching
money
with
the
dceo.
A
Maybe
you
know
somebody
the
army
corps,
everybody
gets
together
and
that's
where
representative
parkers
has
already
started
that
conversation
so
yep.
So
that's
all
I
had
now
ben
had
something
I
apologize.
I
left
the
presentation
off
of
here,
not
because
I
don't
value
it.
It's
just
because
I
forgot
so
ben
had
something
he
wanted
to
tell
you
it's
what
we're
working
on
it
has
to
do
with
a
grant.
It
will
come
back
at
some
point,
but
it's
between
a
lot
of
different
agencies
within
kankakee
county
and
it's
around.
A
I
don't
want
to
say
h1n1
because
that's
a
virus,
it's
a
workforce
thing,
but
what
h1b
ever
heard
of
h1b
visas?
You
know
these
high-tech
jobs
that
we're
bringing
people
in
from
overseas
because
we're
not
filling
them
here,
there's
a
grant
to
develop
our
own
workforce
to
take
care
of
those
jobs
which
we
have
those
here
in
kankakee
county
that
we're
having
trouble
filling
so
go
ahead.
Ben.
Thank
you.
F
Mr
chairman,
so
thank
you
for
having
me
today.
I
kind
of
drilled,
this
sf
away,
it's
about
80
pages
down
into
eight
slides,
trying
to
kind
of
give
everybody
a
little
feel
for
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
here,
and
this
is
it's
tapping
new.
It
talent,
it's
advanced
manufacturing
for
the
workforce
and
it's
building
a
transportation
workforce.
This
is
h-1b
efforts,
surrounded
it's
a
40
million
dollar
allotment
from
the
us
department
of
labor
and
and
the
goal
is
to
up
skill
talent
and
you
know
kind
of
as
we
work
through
this.
F
The
overall
effort
is
to
focus
in
certain
segments
and
upskill,
our
existing
underskilled
and
middle
skilled
talent.
For
us,
we
can
go
on
the
next
one
so
floor
on
it's
about
half
a
million
or
500
thousand
dollars
a
million
bucks
up
to
10
25
match.
There's
one
piece
of
this
in
in
in
the
the
grant
announcement.
F
It
specifically
states
that
no
cash
match
is
obligated
on
behalf
of
the
applicant,
which
is
good,
but
a
25
match
is
required,
that's
in
the
next
paragraph,
so
it
it's
a
little
contradictory.
But
the
idea
that
this
is
about
a
partnership
with
the
workforce
board,
the
community
college,
the
high
school
olivet
nazarene
university,
the
the
county,
obviously
and
our
employers-
if
we
don't
have
anywhere
to
place
individuals
that
are
getting
up
skilled,
if
we
don't
have
an
existing
workforce,
two
up
skill-
it
just
doesn't
really
make
sense.
F
Our
employers
are
coming
to
to
tim,
and
I,
when
we
go
out
and
do
our
retention
visits
and
saying
we're
having
trouble,
you
know
filling
roles
in
these.
You
know
certain
jobs.
We
really
need.
You
know
talent,
talent,
pool.
We
talk
with
the
community
college
to
talk
with
university.
You
know,
here's
all
the
things
we
need,
so
we
got
an
opportunity
for
over
a
four-year
grant
period.
To
look
at
you
know
existing
employees
and
actually,
if
you
slide
into
probably
the
next
one,
you
have
to
be
17
years
old.
F
You
have
to
be
currently
unemployed,
underemployed
or
incumbent,
and
I
think
really,
the
incumbent.
One
is
the
the
one
that
I
really
want
to
touch
on
here.
Everybody
knows
what
unemployed
and
underemployed
is,
but
when
we
talk
about
the
incumbent
workforce,
we're
talking
about
individuals
who
have
jobs
at
existing
locations,
for
whatever
reason
aren't
capable,
because
their
their
family
situation
doesn't
allow
their
time
doesn't
allow
it.
They
haven't
been
able
to
get
that
additional
certification
that
advanced
degree
to
move
up
within
the
company,
so
they're
kind
of
stuck
within
their
organization.
F
They
might
be
working
at
a
fantastic
company.
They
just
haven't
been
able
to
advance
themselves.
It
could
be.
You
know
the
fact
that
they
don't
have
child
care
for
evening
classes.
It
could
be,
they
don't
know
how
exactly
you
could
be
40
years
old
and
just
not
want
to
go
back
to
school.
You
could
there's
a
multitude
of
barriers
as
to
why
people
don't
advance
themselves,
and
this
program
in
bringing
in
the
incumbent
workforce
component
allows
us
to
look
at
somebody.
F
Who's,
not
necessarily
unemployed,
but
just
is
in
a
job
that
you
know
would
be
their
their
their
end
job.
They
wouldn't
be
able
to
move
within
the
company
and
we
could
potentially
give
them
certificate,
training
or
advanced
degrees
which
would
allow
them
to
move
up.
So
it
really
opens
that
that
pool
when
we
talk
about
affecting
individuals
who
could
be
employable
within
kankakee
county,
because,
ideally
a
company,
that's
telling
us
hey,
we
really
need
advanced,
I.t
or
advanced
manufacturing.
F
If
they've
got
somebody
within
their
existing
workforce
that
they
could
just
upskill
a
little
bit
they'd
be
happy
to
do
that,
but
sending
them
off
to
training
and
costing
out
that
training
on
the
front
end
is
difficult
for
that
company.
That
would
be
where
this
program
would
come
in
and
we
would
be
able
to
utilize
those
funds
to
you
know
either
do
on-the-job,
training
or
specific
classroom
work
or
a
combination
of
the
of
of
the
two.
F
This
one
gets
a
little
a
little
bit
much
and
I
apologize
for
that.
But
the
there
are
program
parameters
that
we
have
to
hit
in
looking
at
the
program
parameters.
I
think
they
really.
They
all
make
perfect
sense
to
us
and
this
this
if
this
hasn't
gone
to
you,
it
will,
if
you
want
to
read
all
of
these,
but
the
idea
that
we're
we're
creating
an
ecosystem
for
for
for
this.
F
So
we
would
specifically
focus
on
ojt
and
career
path,
training
for
for
specific
industries
and
we're
working
on
that
kind
of
partner
list
right
now,
because
when
the
application
goes
in
we're
going
to
identify
specific
partners
and
we'll
get
letters
to
support
from
companies
would
say
if
this
gets
off
the
ground
we'd
be
happy
to
take
up
some
of
these
employees
and
and
get
them
into
the
training
programs,
or
we
would
be
happy
to
put
together
a
list
of
our
employees
who
are
interested
in
moving
forward
in
this.
This
opportunity.
F
F
Can
you
get
specific
things
you
need,
and
10
of
our
grant
could
be
utilized
to
make
sure
that
if
there
is
a
child
care
need,
if
there
is
a
transportation
need
of
an
individual,
because
we're
talking
about
individuals
that
are
from
the
age
of
17
up
that
aren't
aren't
currently
enrolled
in
you
know
in
high
school
you
would
have
an
opportunity
to
get
to
and
from
work.
Potentially,
you
would
have
an
opportunity
to
have
this
training
and
work
combo
supported
by
this
grant,
because
the
employers
bless
them
aren't
taking
on
child
care.
F
Specifically,
I
mean
it's
a
very
kind
of
an
odd
thing
for
an
employer
to
get
in
the
middle
of,
and
so
there
are
these
types
of
barriers
that
we
can
utilize.
This
grant,
for
you,
know,
career
career
path,
advancement,
training,
the
college,
the
university
ladonna
over
at
the
workforce
board.
They
know
all
about
those
things,
but
I
think
that
this
is
an
interesting
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
use
that
kind
of
additional
support
component
to
make
this
program
work
a
little
a
little
better.
F
You
know
we've
had
discussions
with
ken
key
high
school
well
district,
and
you
know
this
idea
that
there
are.
There
are
partners
that
offer
existing
training
programs
they're,
currently
underfunded,
or
you
know
they
could.
They
could
always
use
more,
but
we
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel
on
this
one.
We
have
the
partners.
The
county
would
not
be
responsible
for
hiring
new
trainers.
We
would
not
be
responsible
for
for
picking
up.
You
know
this
program.
We
would
not
have
to
manage
this
in-house.
F
Our
responsibility
very
similar
to
how
we
manage
the
workforce
would
be
a
as
a
fiscal
agent.
So
we
we
would
be
the
the
lead
grantee,
as
the
the
agent
surrounding
the
workforce
now
apply,
for
the
grant,
manage
the
funds,
utilize,
the
finance
department
and,
and
frankly,
all
of
their
accolades
that
they're
receiving
to
to
really
get.
You
know,
offer
a
streamlined,
clean
grant
and
then
be
able
to
contact
the
the
work
out
with
the
college
or
or
the
university
had
conversations
with
with
olivet,
about
which
one
of
their
programs
might
fit
in.
F
They
have
a
cyber
security
program
that
could
potentially
turn
immediately
into
a
certificate
program.
They're
very
interested
in
that
obviously
advanced
manufacturing
has
been
something
heavily
touted
by
the
kcc,
but
they've
also
got
apprenticeship
programs,
skills,
training
things
along
those
lines
that
we
could
roll
into
either
the
north
campus
or
the
the
main
campus,
where
we
would
be
the
grantee
and
under
our
umbrella.
We
would
allow
these
entities
to
to
do
all
the
the
good
work
that
needs
to
be
done.
A
So,
just
as
an
explanation,
I
get
these
opportunities
a
lot
of
these
grant
opportunities
from
multiple
sources,
and
I
think
mr
hunter
asked
this
question
yesterday.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
during
the
meeting
or
after,
but
so
what
I
did
is
I
just
I
sent
an
email
to
just
the
people.
You
mentioned
the
high
school,
the
olivet
kcc
workforce
board
and
said
hey.
A
This
sounds
like
something
we
could
all
do
together
and
that's
my
role
not
because
we're
not
we're
not
doing
the
job
training,
that's
the
workforce
board's
job
or
what
kcc
you
know.
It's
my
job
to
be
a
cohesive
factor.
So
this
is
what
he
does
with
a
lot
of
his
time
is,
is
put
together
the
dream
team,
execute
the
grant
application
and
then
after
and
then
walk
it
through
the
process,
sometimes
even
walking
it
down
to
springfield
when
that
walk
is
necessary.
So
mr
kinzinger.
G
F
It's
not
specifically
limited
under
the
the
grant
parameters.
We
could
obviously
give
some
form
of
preference,
but
I
think
it
would
be
difficult
for
us
to
say
here's
one
of
them.
It's
similar
to
employment.
You
can't
draw
a
line
and
say
you
have
to
to
you
know
be
in
a
certain
location
in
order
to
you
know
to
to
do
that.
F
So
I
think
that
we
could
focus
that
with
with
using,
but
I
mean
olivet's
a
you
know:
it's
a
national
and
international
university
right
I
mean
the
students
could
be
learning
things
from
from
anywhere
in
the
world
at
olivet.
Kcc
boundary
does
focus,
I
mean
they
focus
specifically
within
their
boundary.
They
they're
not
allowed
to
recruit
outside
of
that
boundary,
but
if
a
student
were
to
decide
to
come
to
kcc
from
outside
of
their
community
college
district
that
that
is
allowable,
but
I
think
that
we
would
focus
on
that.
F
C
F
The
main
partnership
will
be
with
kcc
and
all
of
at
nazarene
university.
We
we
can,
as
we
kind
of
flush
this
out,
pick
up
additional
partners.
But
as
we
conceived
this,
it
was
just
a
quick
email
out
to
you
know
dr
walters,
and
and
then
the
remainder
of
the
group.
So
we're
not
limiting
that,
but
just
as
we
kind
of
thought
about
on
the
front
end,
that
was
who
we
shot
for.
A
They
may
already
be
working
part
time
in
some
of
these
facilities
or
want
to
get
in
there
part-time,
and
so,
while
they're
going
their
two
years
of
maybe
kcc
and
the
other
two
at
olivet.
This
program
would
hopefully
partner
with
them
along
the
way
to
support
that
so
they're
not
excluded.
It
was
just
on
the
litmus
test
side
of
it.
Is
this
even
a
value?
That's
where
I
reached
out
so
and
yes,
mr
hunter.
E
Yeah
ben
mrs
chairman,
phenomenal
presentation,
phenomenal
capital
p.
I
notice
you
indicated
kcc
and
and
olivet
are
you
looking
for
additional
partners?
I
think
you
kind
of
intimated
that
how
about
governor
state
as
well
too,
which
they
have
a
substantial
amount
of
underserved
students
there
additionally,
had
you
thought
about.
I
know
this
thing.
This
meeting
is
being
streamed,
but
you
ever
thought
about
putting
it
on
comcast
channel
4
the
government
channel.
E
This
information
needs
to
be
imparted
to
the
masses
in
terms
of
what
you're
doing,
and
I
just
like
that
kudos
offer
kudos
to
you
guys
for
for
this.
This
is
kind
of
like
thinking
outside
the
box.
I
mean
the
potential
is,
is
astronomical
in
terms
of
what
may
be
able
to
trans
transpire,
we're
actually
growing
our
own
locally,
as
opposed
to
affording
the
opportunities
for
people
who
may
go
to
university,
chicago
and
stuff
and
and
coming
down
here
to
work
same
thing.
Regarding
you
know:
law
enforcement
as
well
too.
E
A
I
just,
and
the
way
this
would
work
is,
is
that
the
much
like
any
of
the
other
job,
training,
programs,
kcc
or
olivet
would
would
bid
out
those
those
programs,
if
you
will
kcc,
does
on
on
their
dislocated
worker
programs
and
all
or
actually
the
workforce
board
bids
it
out,
but
kcc
bids,
and
it
has
awarded
it
in
livingston
county.
The
the
community
college
down
there
does
grundy
county
their
community
college.
Does
so
it's
it
will
be
open.
A
If
there
is
a
program,
then
governor
state
said
well,
we
can
do
this
and
we
can
bid
on
that
as
well.
So
it's
not
exclusive
of
those
guys.
We
just
started
with
at
home
first
so
yeah
and
once
work
for,
if
we're
awarded
it
workforce,
has
to
bid
those
things
out.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
that
that
the
workforce
board
could
no
longer
be
housed
at
kcc
and
why
the
county
is
the
fiscal
agent
because
they
can't
award
themselves
to
bid.
A
F
I
may
have
had
a
number
for
you
pre-covered,
a
lot
of
the
workforce.
You
know
at
the
state
and
federal
level
still
is
working
from
home,
so
the
grant
review.
I
can
tell
you
if
it's
anything
like
commerce
right
now
we're
currently
six
months
behind,
I
feel
like
we're.
I
mean
we
apply
for
a
grant
in
was
it
may
or
june,
and
we're
hearing,
probably
by
march,
we'll
have
an
idea
of
where
we
were.
We
typically
would
have
heard
back
in
45
to
60
days.
F
Yeah,
I
think,
that's
fair,
you
know
we
would
have.
We
would
have
a
an
answer
in
solid
direction
by
the
start
of
school
and
the
one
thing
that's
convenient
about
some
of
these
programs
and
the
you
know
olivet,
is-
is
offered
you
know
to
to
to
do
really
what
whatever
we
would
need
in
order
to
fit
into
these
parameters
and
obviously
kcc,
does
it
on
a
regular
basis.
These
could
be
custom
tailored
programs.
They
don't
have
to
start
on.
F
F
Mean
it
could
go
either
way
yeah.
The
goal
is
not
to
force
individuals
into
two
and
four,
if
that's
not
what
they
necessarily
need
to
advance,
but
there
are
components
of
this
that
could
advance
somebody
through
two
and
potentially
into
four
years.
We
just
with
a
48-month
window
on
the
grant.
You
know
the
first
class
could
potentially
make
it
through,
but
then
the
other
ones
would
be
truncated.
On
that
timeline.
H
H
A
I
envision
it
as
being
some,
let's
just
say:
there's
somebody,
that's
a
chemist
now
in
a
lab
locally
or
they
have
a
chemistry
degree
and
they're
working
the
production
line
in
one
of
these,
these
bio
firms
that
we
have
here
they
want
to
get
up
to
the
next
level.
Well,
they've
got
to
get
that
master's
degree
and
then
once
they
got
that
masters
and
if
they
want
to
go
into
chemical
engineering,
they
got
to
have
the
phd,
but
guess
what
it's
done?
A
It's
opened
up
two
other
spots
underneath
them
for
people
that
may
have
a
two-year
degree.
They
want
to
get
that
chemical
degree
to
get
their
foot
in
the
door,
so
they
can
get
the
masters
you
see
where
I'm
going
with
that
yeah.
That's.
The
whole
goal
here
is
to
grow
our
own
workforce
to
take
those
jobs
that
are
that
are
available
here.
Instead
of
having
them
leave
town
and
go
do
them
somewhere
else.
True,
you
know.
Thank
you,
mr
house.
A
No
not
yet
now
yeah
with
the
the
once
we
applied,
and
then
we
would
be
able
to
say
okay
well,
this
is
out
there.
We
thought
we'd,
let
you
know
as
a
as
a
board
because
it
was
well,
you
don't
know.
Normally
we
just
do
these
things
and
if
it
happens,
then
we
bring
it
to
you
in
this
case
the
the
the
message
was
good
enough
to
to
demonstrate
that
career
center
is
another
opportunity
as
well,
so
there
could
be
things
that
go
on
at
the
career
center.
A
A
J
Yes,
I'll
keep
it
quick.
I
have
three
quick
topics
just
to
update
you.
We
have
just
begun
the
process
of
updating
the
servers
for
the
court
system.
Their
current
servers
are
around
10
years
old.
They
were
never
intended
to
be
in
service.
This
long
I've
actually
placed
the
orders
yesterday
for
these
servers
at
the
direction
of
the
circuit
clerk
and
the
chief
judge.
J
J
As
far
as
in
this
building
for
189
court
east
court
street,
I
plan
on
utilizing
the
covid
grant
funding
that
the
chairman
has
discussed
with
the
department
heads
and,
I
believe,
board
members
that
was
available
after
discussing
the
process
with
the
finance
director
I've.
I've
decided
that,
where
I'm
going
to
upgrade
the
infrastructure
to
allow
specifically
in
for
the
case,
if
we're
ever
shut
down
again
by
pandemic,
it
allow
for
us
to
have
an
increased
capacity
for
people
to
work
at
home.
J
We
were
able
to
do
it
before,
but
we
were
on
the
edge
because
it
was
never
meant
to
have
that
many
people
go
home,
we'll
have
an
increased
capacity.
To
do
that,
I
have
to
switch
out.
I
have
to
replace
switches
or
upgrade
switches
and
firewalls
provide
a
few
additional
laptops
to
make
them
available
through
the
departments
that
can't
do
that
with
the
goal
to
make
sure
that
the
county
during
a
pandemic
could
at
least
provide
the
basic
functions
that
the
public
requires
of
us.
J
J
That's
a
generic
term,
I'm
using
and
specifically
not
be
part
of
your
normal
operational
cost,
so
basically
not
in
your
budget.
So
I
will,
for
a
short
period
of
time,
go
over
my
budget,
but
immediately
it
will
be
refunded
by
the
grant
funds.
That's
how
they
explain
to
me.
We
have
to
do
that
so
we're
on
budget,
but
for
I
don't
know
a
few
days
or
weeks
whatever
will
be
over
budget,
but
that
money
will
come
specifically
for
that
grant
funds
that
are
already
there
and
available.
A
A
That
seemed
like
the
best
use
of
funds,
because
again
they
can't
just
be
for
well
it's
nice
to
have.
That
has
to
be
a
real
reason,
and
now
we
have
that
real
reason
we're
starting
to
see
some
of
these.
These
smaller,
I
won't
say,
outbreak,
but
you
know
incidences
of
covid
within
different
departments.
Let
me
first
make
sure
kevin
my
am
I
are
we
on
the.
J
K
Bird,
thank
you,
mr
chairman
yeah,
at
this
time,
unless
you
get
into
flu
season
and
we're
running
the
risk
of
potential
shutdowns
in
government
buildings,
along
with
other
businesses
and
with
the
warrant
issue,
I
think
it's
really
important.
We're
able
to
do
the
continue
the
work,
even
if
it's
outside
the
building,
since
we've
had
instances
throughout
the
last
eight
nine
months
we've
had
people
picked
up,
that
shouldn't
have
been,
and
that's
a
concerning
problem.
I
mean
that's
a
problem
that
shouldn't
be
happening.
A
L
One
of
four
good
morning,
everybody,
the
the
first
thing
I'd
like
to
report
on,
is
some
of
what
is
going
on
behind
the
scenes
of
just
the
the
kovit
19
pandemic
and
the
contact
tracing.
Obviously
that
we're
all
aware,
that's
basically
our
primary
focus,
but
then
there's
a
lot
of
other
things
that
we're
doing
underneath
the
water,
so
to
speak
in
regards
to
things
that
the
state
is
planning
for.
L
L
We
just
received
our
first
shipment
and
then
the
plan
is
or
the
intent
of
this
whole
grant
and-
and
these
test
kits,
is
that
these
rapid
test
kits
that
get
farmed
out
from
the
health
department.
We
we
do
not
have
the
resources
or
the
people
to
do
the
testing
ourselves.
Obviously
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
the
contact
tracing.
L
These
kits
are
designed
to
go
into
facilities
like
onu
kcc,
the
jail
in
some
cases,
long-term
care
facilities,
other
state-run
long-term
care
facilities
will
already
be
receiving
these
through
their
mechanism
and
not
have
to
come
from
us.
So
the
original
shipments
that
we
get
we
will
farm
out.
We
have
to
create
memorandums
of
agreement
with
these
facilities.
L
They
have
to
have
a
qualified,
individual
or
individuals
on
site
that
can
administer
these
tests
again.
They're
rapid
kits
rapid
test
kits
so
ultimately
it's
a
nasal,
swab
cliff
notes
version,
as
you
would
go
through
the
test
procedure
and
within
15
minutes
you
you
have
a
result
and
they're
designed
specifically
for
individuals
that
are
symptomatic.
L
Well,
we
don't
know
exactly
yet
they're
supposed
to
be
better
than
the
ones
previously
out
there,
but
we
don't
know
exactly
yet
we
get
them.
We
still
have
to
to
to
farm
them
out
now
the
plan
is,
or
at
least
what
we're
being
told
is
that
if
mr
hunter,
for
example,
takes
this
test
and
his
is
positive,
it's
a
positive
is
just
using
you
as
an
example.
Please
I'll
use
myself,
then
as
an
example.
L
If,
if
I'm
positive,
then
that
that
counts
towards
the
positives,
if
it's
negative
and
I'm
asymptomatic,
then
I
believe
that
that's
going
to
be
counted
as
a
negative.
We're
getting
some
clarification
on
that
if
I'm
negative,
but
I
have
symptoms,
which
is
maybe
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
went
down
and
get
this
rapid
test
anyway,
then
it's
still
going
to
require.
You
know
that
you
then
to
follow
up
with
the
prc
test
the
more
thorough,
accurate
test.
L
So
in
some
cases
there
will
still
be
additional
testing
that
may
be
required,
but
the
the
design
and
plan
is,
for
example,
in
a
high
school
setting
or
any
school
setting.
Where
you
have
a
number
of
students
and
here's
the
little
student
who's
got,
you
know
sniffles
or
sneezes
or
coughs,
and
someone
says
you
need
to
go
down
to
the
office
and
get
tested.
L
If
these
test
kits
are
available
and
there's
someone
on
site
who
can
do
the
test,
they
can
do
this,
and
if
it
comes
up
positive,
they
can
already
begin
to
then
on
site
before
the
health
department
has
even
been
notified,
or
it
goes
into
the
illinois
system
as
a
positive
case
that
school
or
agency
can
begin
to
make.
You
know
the
the
necessary
arrangements
of
figuring
out.
You
know
who
were
you
working
with
who's,
a
close
contact?
L
L
If
we
run
out,
you
know
if
we
order
so
the
first
shipment,
for
example,
we
got
was
approximately
a
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
kits
individual
kits.
So
you
know
between
the
the
four
places
that
we're
thinking
of
we
very
easily
can
probably
get
those
out.
They
want
them,
they're
ready
for
them.
They
just
have
to
set
up
the
mechanisms
to
to
be
ready
to
go
and
then
there's
some
re
reporting
requirements
that
are
in
here.
L
So
if
I
hand
them
out,
for
example,
to
the
county,
if
they
had
individuals,
they
could
do
this
and
and
they
wanted
to
do
it,
we
could
potentially
do
that
and
then
there's
record
reporting
requirements
that
you
would
have
to
do.
You
know
who
you
administered
it
to
and
and
putting
that
into
the
system,
because
we're
not
going
to
be
doing
that
for
you,
you
know,
that's
part
of
the
the
setup
in
the
deal
and
then
obviously
the
at
some
point.
L
The
health
department
staff
is
going
into
the
electronic
system,
and
then
we
see
that
you
know
the
county
board,
for
example,
had
inputted
these
these
test
kit
results
and
and
here's
your
positives
or
your
negatives
or
whatever,
and
we
proceed
with
them
there.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
working
on
feverishly
here
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
Again,
we've
got
our
paperwork,
all
ready
to
go,
we're
going
to
send
those
out
and
then
once
we
have
the
signed
agreements
we'll
start
to
to
get
those
out.
L
Obviously,
with
the
increase
in
the
numbers
that
we're
seeing
statewide
countrywide
worldwide.
A
big
part
of
that
is,
is
the
additional
testing
that's
available
now,
and-
and
this
is
adding
to
that-
you
know
these
test
kits
are
going
to
definitely
add
to
that.
There
are
a
lot
of
concerns
that
it's
going
to
add
to
the
positivity
rate,
obviously
within
a
particular
community
or
a
region
such
as
what
we
may
be
experiencing
now.
L
I
have
no
control
over
that,
though,
so
we
just
they
they
are
going
to
be
giving
us
these
kits.
We
have
to
get
them
out
to
the
individuals
that
want
them.
It's
an
opportunity
to
increase
the
testing
within
our
community,
which
can
help
obviously
the
more
tests
they
get
done,
the
more
negatives
that
we
can
show.
It
lowers
the
positivity
rate
which
helps
get
us
unmitigated,
which
you
know,
that's
what
we're
ultimately
looking
for
in
addition
to
seeing
the
virus.
You
know
slowly
phase
its
way
out
of
here.
Mr
burn.
K
Thank
you,
mr
john,
a
couple
questions
in
regards
to
the
rapid
tests.
What
product
line
are
they
using
because
I
know
in
the
past
the
pro
as
nice
as
the
rapid
tests
are
the
false
positives
and
the
accuracy,
as
mr
hunter
said,
is
important
when
we
get
to
the
mitigation
part
of
it?
Are
we
going
to
see
a
spike
in
positives,
based
on
false
positives?
K
L
L
So
that's
the
the
supplier
that
the
state
is
using
based
on
what
the
federal
government's
providing
to
them
now
through
the
webinars
that
we've
watched
and
listened
to
and
been
a
part
of
they
have
indicated,
and
they
be
in
the
state
that
these
are
tighter
than
the
previous
ones.
Now,
what
exactly
does
that
mean?
And
what
is
the
percentage
improvement?
I
can't
say
right
now.
K
Because
I
know
a
lot
of
health
systems
and
a
lot
of
providers
have
had
issues
with
the
quest,
for
example,
we're
having
a
lot
of
false
positives
due
to
the
way
they
were
batching
the
test
in
the
lab
itself.
So
there's
some
concern.
I
mean
especially
right
now
we're
looking
at
numbers
that
are
teetering
on
with
the
mitigation
and
the
effect
it
has
on
the
local.
You
know
local
economy.
L
You
know
population,
I
understand,
and
those
were
definitely
questions
that
a
lot
of
the
health
departments
expressed
when
this
was
brought
up,
that
potentially,
if
I'm
testing
positive,
for
example,
with
this
rapid
test
and
it's
you
know
whether
the
false
positive
negative
or
whatever.
Ultimately,
that
might
require
me
to
go
get
another
test
anyway
and
again.
Another
then
thorough,
positive
test
is
just
two
tests
that
gets
added
to
our
numbers
for
the
county,
which,
just
again
we
we
knew
when
they
started
pushing
out
additional
testing.
The
positivity
rate
was
going
to
go
up.
L
H
L
L
Now
whether
there
was
some
sort
of
a
grant
or
whatever
that
provided
that
illinois
is
providing
them
to
the
health
departments
free
of
charge,
we
will
be
distributing
those
and
then
only
going
through
the
paperwork
process
of
what
you
have
to
you
know
be
able
to
comply
with
to
be
able
to
get
them
because
we're
sort
of
vouching,
for
you
then
and
your
agency
to
do
that
and
then
until
they
run
out.
So
these
are
free.
H
Kids,
so
you've
got
like
a
hundred
and
some
thousand
and
you're
gonna
keep
track
of
all
those
positive
negatives.
Okay
and
do
they
so
explain
to
me
the
rapid
test
process,
because
I'm
not
a
scientist
nor
have
I
ever
worked
in
a
hospital
or
stated
holiday
inn
express,
but
are
they
are
they
going
to
need
any
lab
work,
or
are
there
like
a
pregnancy
test
that
you
can
do
at
home
or.
L
The
example
that
they
have
expressed
on
a
number
of
occasions
is
very
similar
to
the
pregnancy
test
type
result
situation,
so
you're
going
to
come
in
you're,
going
to
sit
down
we're
going
to
do
a
little
nasal
swab.
Apparently
it
goes
into
some
sort
of
a
little
device
and
15
minutes
later
it's
blue.
It's
positive!
It's
pink,
it's
negative
kind
of
so.
H
There
could
be
a
that's
it
okay,
so
there
could
be
a
possibility
that
somebody
has
a
a
positive
test
and
then
they
do
the
nick
saban.
They
take
a
test
the
next
day
and
then
they
take
a
test
the
next
day
and
then
they
take
a
test
the
next
day
and
they
they
coach
on
saturday.
So
that's
that's.
If
they're
free,
it's
not
really
a
cost.
If
and
you
can
verify
a
positive
test
compared
to
a
negative
test.
D
H
H
That's
why
you
go
with
those
results.
That
would
be
why
you
would
retest.
In
my
mind
I
mean
I'm
like
I
said,
I'm
no
scientist,
but
if
you
think
you
weren't
positive
and
then
you
have
no
symptoms
and
never
had
any
symptoms,
but
then
you
test
again
the
next
day
the
next
day.
Maybe
you
weren't
positive,
that's
you
know
just
because
it's
a
positive
doesn't
mean
it's
accurate.
L
I
have
to
I
believe
that
this
is
designed
to
try
to
help
these
situations
where
you
haven't.
You
know
the
county,
the
the
courthouse,
for
example,
a
school,
an
assembly
line
where
you
have
somebody
who
then
tests
positive,
and
you
can
take
some
precautions
as
opposed
to
four
days
later,
you
find
out,
you
have
to
close
the
plan.
No.
A
I
I'm
wondering
if
we're
talking
past
each
other
a
little
bit.
I
think
nick
saban
had
a
a
and
others
like
in
that
situation.
They
had
a
rapid
test.
That
was
a
positive.
They
had
the
full
test
at
three
or
three
days
in
a
row
and
those
are
all
negative.
So
I
think
that's
what
is
being
missed
here.
I
got
you.
The
the
initial
event
was
a
rapid
test
and
and
to
my
and
mr
lee
was
next.
A
My
my
point
is
is
that
it
is
disappointing
to
find
that
a
rapid
test
will
be
counted
as
a
positive
until
it's
unverified
by
the
real
test.
If
you
will,
our
our
numbers
can't
hold
that
right
now,
because
right
now
it's
already
supporting
employers
retesting
everybody
daily
until
they
can
go
back
to
work,
and
that
is
skewing
our
numbers
even
more.
A
A
Well,
these
must
have
come
through
third
parties,
but
we
do
know
that
if
you
know
because
you're
paying
them
to
stay
home
and
if
you
had
a
positive
at
work
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
two
weeks
later,
they
start
testing
almost
every
day
or
every
other
day.
Each
one
of
those
is
a
positive,
so
you
can
rack
up
20
30
positives
in
the
matter
of
one.
A
A
problem
and
the
employers
are
doing
their
community
a
disservice.
By
doing
that,
and
I
understand
why,
because
you
don't
want
to
pay
people
to
stay
home,
I
get
it
I
understand,
but
then
it
actually
has
a
ripple
effect
throughout
the
whole
community
and
in
this
case
it's
killing
the
bar
in
the
restaurant
business.
So
mr
lear
first
and
then
mr
burn,
I
think
you
had
a
second
time.
C
C
L
Definitely
yeah
yeah.
I
I
mean.
Obviously
I
appreciate
that
statement.
You
know
that
that
is
the
role
of
the
health
department
to
investigate
any
kind
of
an
outbreak
or
pandemic.
That's
going
on.
We
we
just
happen
to
be
living
through
the
covet
19
right
now.
You
know,
as
mr
wheeler
said,
we
we've
gotten
two
grants
that
are
helping.
L
We
just
don't
seem
to
catch
a
break
and
I'm
not
asking
anybody
to
feel
sorry
for
us.
It's
just
every
time
we
think
we're
going
to
catch
our
breath.
You
know
here
comes
these
new
tasks.
We
want
you
to
push
out
to
everybody
and
and
oh
by
the
way.
You
know
the
vaccine
might
come
out
next
month
and
you
need
to
be
ready
for
that
and
and
all
the
testing
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do
so.
We're
scrambling
underneath,
but
we
are.
K
Real
quick,
if
personally,
when
I
work
in
the
lab
world,
if
I
were
to
test,
have
a
positive
test
with
a
rapid
test,
and
I
was
unsure
of
the
resulting
I
would
suggest
going
to
your
physician
and
getting
a
pcr
test.
That
molecular
testing
is
a
lot
more
accurate.
It's
right
on
the
money,
that's
just
my
own
two
cents
of
advice,
but
doing
the
continual
rapid
test.
The
rapid
tests
have
been
proven.
They
have
a
lot
of
false
positives,
so
I'd
be
real
leery
of
that.
Just
my
own
two
cents.
E
Just
you
know
as
a
kid
you
know,
my
dad
was
a
microbiologist
and
if
he
were
alive,
I'm
sure
he'd
like
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation,
but
I'm
really
amazed
that
some
of
the
questions
have
been
posed
and
some
of
the
response
responses
that
have
been
provided.
So
I
think
this
is
good
information.
You
know
for
our
our
respective
citizens
and
accounting,
and
I
really
appreciate
this
being
brought
forth
to
impart
information
to
our
our
citizens.
A
L
L
Lot
of
this
is
just
catching
up.
I
know
earlier
there
was
the
question
of
the
situation
at
the
courthouse
or
even
all
over.
You
know
some
of
the
schools
in
the
area.
Earlier
this
week
the
state
changed
the
definition
of
what
an
outbreak
was
prior
to
a
couple
of
days
ago.
It
was
any
two
people
in
in
any
one
situation,
so
that
could
be
a
restaurant.
It
could
be
a
bar,
it
could
be
a
business,
it
could
be,
it
could
be
in
here.
L
It
could
be
a
family
function,
a
party,
a
restaurant,
whatever
any
two
people,
then
that
tested
would
be
considered.
An
outbreak
they've
raised
that
to
five
makes
it
a
little
bit
easier,
especially
in
in
in
school
settings,
for
example,
when
maybe
you
have
two
or
three
kids
on
a
football
team,
for
example,
that
are
maybe
testing
positive
and
two
are
on
the
offensive
side
and
one's
on
the
defensive
side
or
one's
a
coach
and
this
one's
a
student.
L
L
It
doesn't
change
that,
but
it
changes
the
definition
and
gives
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
to
not
necessarily
call
that
an
outbreak
and
create
more
work,
because
any
outbreak
then
is
recorded
and
treated.
You
know
as
its
own
animal
within
the
state
system
too.
That
isn't
something
that
you
see.
So,
hopefully
that's
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
help.
L
We
pushed
out
some
information
earlier
this
week,
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that
in
regards
to
the
contact
tracing
that
the
health
department
does,
and
this
is
statewide
not
just
for
kankakee
county.
So
I'm
I'm
glad
you're
here
the
the
phone
number
that
would
come
across
if
any
one
of
you
received
a
phone
call
that
you
were
potentially
either
positive
or
maybe
a
close
contact
and
someone
was
reaching
out
to
you.
L
It's
not
gonna,
be
the
typical
815
that
you
would
expect,
and
in
this
age
of
the
election
year
and
all
the
calls
that
we're
getting
from
anybody
and
everybody
anyway
and
we're
just
dismissing
it.
The
contact
tracing
call
is
a
312
area
code.
It
just
is.
We
can't
do
anything
about
that.
Statewide!
It's
the
same
number.
It's
three
one:
two:
seven,
seven,
seven,
nineteen,
ninety
nine,
it's
like
the
prince
song!
L
So
if
you
see
that
number
and
it
should
come
across
as
covid
contact
tracing
but
we're
going
to
try
to
get
the
word
out
to
the
public
that,
basically,
if
you
see
this,
please
answer
it.
These
are
your
county
contact
tracers
trying
to
reach
out
to
you
the
other
thing
that's
going
to
happen
on
friday,
the
30th
is
the
state
with
its
sales
force.
L
That's
the
name
of
this
new
computer
program
that
they
gave
to
the
contact
tracers
right
after
they
gave
us
the
money
to
hire
these
contact
tracers
and
said:
okay,
here's
what
you
have
to
do
and
a
new
computer
program
to
boot.
They
are
going
to
release
symmetrics
on
friday
for
the
state
to
see
what
kind
of
work
is
being
done
by
each
county
in
regards
to
the
contact
tracing
calls
that
they're
making.
L
L
Okay,
so
you're
going
to
see
that
percentage.
Now,
as
of
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
kankakee
county
was
at
91
percent.
That
was
great.
That
was
before
our
surge.
Now,
that
being
said,
there's
going
to
be
a
secondary
number
behind
that,
and
it's
going
to
look
awful.
It's
going
to
be
follow-up,
and
as
of
a
few
weeks
ago,
our
percentage
was
somewhere
in
the
30
percent,
let's
say
35
percent,
for
example.
People
might
look
at
that
and
say:
well,
that's
terrible!
What's
that
health
department
doing
they're,
not
calling
anybody
back?
L
No
I'm
reaching
out
to
mr
siroi,
for
example,
to
let
him
know
he's
a
positive
case,
and
he
never
calls
me
back.
We
reach
out
three
times
four
times
he's
an
abandoned
call.
We
can't
get
a
hold
of
them.
That
is
the
follow-up
number.
So
we
have
33
35
of
the
individuals
who
are
attempting
to
work
with
us.
The
rest,
for
whatever
reasons
lost
numbers
wrong
numbers
denial.
Don't
want
us
to
know
or
just
trying
to
avoid
it.
That's
going
to
be
some
of
that
information.
L
So
again,
they've
not
shown
us
what
those
numbers
are
going
to
be.
The
the
governor
and
the
state
and
their
infinite
wisdom
have
just
decided
that
this
is
transparency,
but
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
now
we're
going
to
have
county
metrics
that
are
a
week
old,
regional
metrics
that
are
three
days
old
and
salesforce
metrics
and
they're
all
three
different.
D
Yeah,
mr
rivas,
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you,
andy.
If
a
lot
of
these
companies
that
are
going
like
if
I
get
tested
positive
example,
and
I'm
not
not
that
bad,
but
I
still
can't
go
back
to
work
bypass,
a
positive
test-
and
we
just
john
andy
just
talked
about
this
a
minute
ago.
Are
you
notifying
these
employers
that
this
is
really
skewing
our
numbers
and
that
it's
hard
on
our
economy?
If
they
keep
doing
this,
that
are
you
sending
letters
out
to
the
big
employers
going
hey?
D
L
That
informa,
that
information,
that
information
is
being
made
available
through
you
know
we
are
contacting
the
individual.
Obviously,
for
hipaa
reasons,
we
have
to
contact
a
specific
individual,
but
we
can
also
through
this
pandemic.
We
we
have
the
right
to
then
contact.
You
know
principals,
presidents,
ceos
hr
people
to
maybe
not
necessarily
tell
them
who
specifically,
but
they
may
have
an
outbreak
or
individuals
within
their
facility,
and
they
are
given
that
information
that
they
need
to
do.
L
But
I
am
coming
across
even
individuals
that
I
know
personally,
who
don't
like
that
and
and
they're
they're,
just
changing
it
and
or
having
people
test
negative
and
then
saying
you
can
come
back
to
work.
We
we
can't
control
that
there's
just
too
many
of
that
going
on
out
there
with
the
individuals
that
we
have.
We
have
to
hope
that
they're
doing
it
on
good
faith.
L
K
Mr
byrne
yeah
well,
if
you
need
any
help,
I
know
a
lot
of
out-of-work
people
that
might
be
willing
to
help.
You
john,
in
regards
to
numbers,
is
people
behind
numbers.
Dupage
county
is
the
one
county
out
of
102
that
seem
to
have
the
data
pretty
clear
in
regards
to
like
bars
and
restaurants,
for
example,
which
show
six
percent
since
march.
K
Are
we
accumulating
that
data
here
in
kinky
county?
I
mean,
I
know
the
state's
producing
data,
but
they
got
to
get
that
data
somewhere.
Obviously
we
must
be
collecting
it
here.
Are
we
looking
at
it
scrutinizing
these
numbers,
this
data,
the
science
we're
told
to
believe
but
yet
impacts
people,
and
that
may
not
be
the
spreaders
I
mean
I
was
at
a
meeting
on
thursday
with
restaurant
bar
owners.
I
asked
the
question
who
here
in
this
room
can
tell
me
your
employees.
K
Mass
employees
have
had
outbreaks,
no
one.
Everyone
said
no.
We've
had
maybe
a
case
here,
and
there
they're,
you
know
they're
putting
out
numbers,
and
you
see
the
numbers
of
long-term
care
facilities,
state-run
facilities,
especially
in
this
area
that
had
an
outbreak
they
weren't
being
shut
down.
But
yet
you
have
certain
target
audiences
that
are
being
shut
down
again.
I
think
the
data
as
much
as
we
like
to
hear
and
see
it.
K
There
are
impacts
on
people
behind
it
and
I
think
it's
it's
our
role
as
government
that
we're
going
to
impede
people
we'd
better,
have
accurate
numbers
and
I'm
waiting
can't
wait
for
friday.
But
if
there's
a
way
we
can
generate
a
report
here
in
kankakee
county,
similar
to
what
dupage
county
has
done.
I
think
that
would
be
beneficial
for
everybody.
L
So
again,
great
question,
mr
burning,
and
thank
you
for
that.
That
is
another
thing
that
I
had
here
just
to
add
is
that,
through
the
contact
tracing
grant,
we
have
finally
been
able
to
hire
a
data
analysis
analyst,
who
we
have
him
hooked
up
into
the
salesforce
system
now
and
he
is
beginning
to
research.
L
L
What
and
how
and
why
dupage
was
able
to
do
that.
They've,
obviously
a
longer
health
department
history
than
what
we
have
they
have
more
money
than
we
have.
Probably
you
know
eight
months
ago
we
didn't
need
this
kind
of
a
person.
We
didn't
need
this
kind
of
information,
so
it's
become
apparent
that,
through
the
processes
that
we
are
at
today,
that
this
is
a
big
question
so
that
individual
is
in
place
we're
hoping
as
soon
as
we
have
information.
L
I've
talked
with
andy
about
this
as
soon
as
we
have
information
from
what
he's
able
to
decipher
to
see.
If
he
can
tell
us
some
of
those
kinds
of
things,
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
see
the
different
things
of
you
know
understand
that
when
an
individual
is
being
interviewed
when
they're
positive
they're
being
asked
for
approximately
three
to
four
days
prior
to
their
onset
of
symptoms,
what
everything
they've
done,
where
did
you
eat?
Where
did
you
go?
Who
were
you
around?
What
are
you
doing
that
kind
of
information?
L
Some
of
it's
hard
to
remember
if
we're
calling
you
three
four
five
days
after
the
fact,
if
we're
calling
you
right
away,
your
memory
is
a
lot
better.
There
was
a
study
that
came
out
recently
that
the
governor
even
quoted.
That
said,
most
of
the
reason
that
he's
going
this
avenue
is
that
most
of
the
individuals
who
tested
positive
for
coronavirus
within
two
weeks
of
testing
positive
have
all
eaten
out.
L
I
I
mean:
that's
everybody,
if
you
think
about
it,
who
doesn't
go
through
a
drive-through
at
least
once
a
day.
You
know
so
that
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
empirical
empirical
enough
data
for
me
to
be
able
to
say
that.
But
to
answer
your
question,
we
have
an
individual
in
place,
he's
beginning
to
look
at
the
numbers
and
when
we
have
more
concrete
data,
we'll
share
that.
A
Those
types
of
statements
are
almost
like
saying
that
you
know
99
of
the
people's
death
is
associated
with
them
being
alive.
In
the
first
place
I
mean
it's,
it's
completely
ridiculous.
I'm
sorry
that
I
I
can't
to
to
leave
out
big
box
stores
to
leave
out
gas
stations
to
leave
out
wherever
we
all
go.
All
the
time
is
cherry
picking.
I
think
that
was
a
study
that
was
done
by
economists
from
germany
and
it
wasn't
put
through
an
irb
with
no
p-value.
A
There
was
no
statistical
significance
drawn
on
anything
I
mean
an
economist,
doing
a
health
study
from
germany
over
states
all
across
the
united
states
that
are
different
and
had
different
policies.
I'm
sorry
that
you
had
me
and
not
you,
the
other
guy,
had
me
in
me
law
yeah.
That
situation
is
ridiculous.
A
L
L
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
a
couple
of
months
ago.
Obviously,
when
we
were
dealing
with
the
first
mitigation
now
we're
dealing
with
the
second
mitigation,
the
administrative
rules
process
that
was
described
with
the
complaint
process
that
the
health
department
can
do,
the
board
of
health
met
last
month
and
developed
a
policy
on
how
to
proceed
with
those.
I
had
keith
run
me
the
numbers.
So
since
that's
gotten
into
place,
we've
had
33
covet
complaints
on
and
not
just
bars
and
restaurants.
L
That
will
include
agencies
and
businesses,
but
bars
restaurants
and
agencies,
and
we've
had
33
complaints
that
we
have
investigated.
Only
three,
which
is
nine
percent,
required
us
to
have
to
send
that
first
letter.
Everyone
else
was
doing
reasonable
efforts
so
that
that
shows-
and
again
I
take
offense
a
little
bit
sometimes
to
what
gets
said
in
press
conferences,
that
on
one
day
we're
doing
all
that
we
can
we're
wearing
our
masks
and
doing
a
good
job
and
then
the
next
day
we're
being
scolded
for
not
wearing
our
masks
and
doing
a
bad
job.
L
When
everywhere
I
go,
I
see
people
doing
the
best
that
they
can.
So
if
nine
out
of
10
people
in
kankakee
county
are
wearing
their
masks
watching
their
distances,
washing
their
hands,
avoiding
social
gatherings,
I
don't
see
how
we
can
ask
for
any
more
perfect
world
would
be
10.
But
this
is
not
a
perfect
world,
so
I
just
I
applaud
kankakee
county.
A
M
Good
morning
you
have
the
staffing
report
in
front
of
you.
You
can
see
in
terms
of
current
month
activity.
We
are
a
net
plus
five.
Those
are
really.
There
were
three
corrections:
officers,
two
part-time
medical
staff
and
the
way
it
works
out.
There
is
there's
a
lot
of
nurses
that
work
part-time
out
there.
So,
even
though
there
was
one
resignation
and
two
addition,
it's
not
really
a
a
head
count.
M
Addition:
the
hours
are
the
hours
that
the
part-time
staff
work,
so
it
means
that
they
still
have
the
same
number
of
hours
worked
by
part-time
staff.
So
it's
not
a
head
count.
Addition.
Let
me
see
the
vac
position
is
a
temporary
position.
They
added
anticipated
at
about
six
months
circuit
clerk
is
normal
turnover
in
that
department.
M
I
think
that's
it
any
other
questions
about
the
staffing
report.
You
remember
the
increase
year
over
year,
there
are
seven
americorps
grant
funded
employees
in
the
state's
attorney
head
count,
even
though
there's
there's
not
really
salary
dollars
related
to
that
that
that
grant
isn't
functioning
as
as
strongly
as
it
used
to,
and
it's
also
grant
funded
six
increase.
That's
the
in
cancom!
That's
the
bradley
group
for
in
probation,
that's
covered
by
the
state
reimbursement
grant
and
the
maintenance
position.
M
One
maintenance
position
is
budgeted.
That
was
a
budget
increase
for
2020
there's,
also
three
part-time
people
or
seasonal
people
that
are
on
the
head
count:
one
in
administration,
that's
the
door
steward
that
works
in
the
morning,
two
in
maintenance
that
are
being
utilized
for
courthouse
cleaning
during
povid.
Those
are
all
grant
reimbursed
under
covent.
M
M
E
M
E
M
C
M
The
only
other
thing
was
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
the
highway
memo
of
understanding
we
discussed
last
month,
and
this
committee
asked
me
to
take
back
and
create.
I
think
a
better
product
is
what
I
heard.
We
did
rewrite
it
mark
rogers
and
nancy
nicholson,
and
I
we
sent
it
back.
It
had
been
approved
by
the
state's
attorney's
office
and
the
union,
so
I
shortened
it,
which
is
what
this
committee
requested.
M
We
sent
it
back
to
the
state's
attorney.
We
worked
with
them
on
it,
so
they've
approved
it.
We
sent
it
back
to
the
union.
We
just
got
their
response
back
monday
that
they
approved
it
so
I'll
bring
it
back
here
next
month
and
other
than
that,
I'm
working
with
kelly
on
open
enrollment,
getting
ready
for
that.
A
M
Going
to
cause
us
any
problem
right
and
it's
not
changing
benefits
that
are
already
it's
clarifying
a
discrepancy
between
two
different
parts
of
that
contract.
That's
what
we
discussed
last
month,
okay!
So
right
now
we
haven't
had
a
grievance,
that's
what
we
were
trying
to
do
with
that.
Memo
of
understanding
was
avoid
a
grievance
and
we
haven't
had
one
yet
we've
been
able
to
work
with
our
employees,
so
we're
just
trying
to
clarify
that.
D
Yeah
mr
speckman,
I'd
like
to
back
up
mr
kenzinger's
comment
about
hiring
the
most
qualified
people
and
not
having
to
tally
what
particular
genders
or
races
that
they
are.
We.
We
really
need
to
hire
qualified
people
for
our
positions
and
doing
a
really
good
job
at
that,
so
there
should
be
no
criticizing
of
your
numbers.
If
you
have
them
now
bill.
E
Chairman,
if
I
might,
if
I
might
it's
not
an
issue
of
not
selecting
the
most
qualified
people,
anita
indicated
there,
the
certain
requirements
that
are
mandated,
I'm
merely
asking
for
information,
I'm
not
appointing
pointing
a
accusing
a
finger
at
anybody
at
this
point.
You
got
to
understand
that,
so
you
know
I'm
a
pragmatist.
A
L
A
A
A
This
office,
the
other
department
heads
control,
hiring
for
their
own
particular
offices
as
well.
All
right.
Moving
on
administrative,
we're,
removing
the
the
appointment
for
claussen
park,
drainage
district
from
the
agenda
at
the
request
of
the
applicant
and
then
the
drainage,
district's,
attorney
they're,
bringing
something
back.
They've
got
to
tweak
something.
A
C
A
A
A
All
righty,
and-
and
this
is
the
start
of
the
process
again-
there's
a
lot
of
intergovernmental
agreements
that
have
to
happen
with
all
these
municipal
governments
and
karma
in
in
the
event
that
this
works
out.
So
that's
gonna
be
happening
really
quick
over
the
next
month
and
a
half
it
seems
like
we've
got
something
here
and
once
we
get
the
final
look
at
what
it
is,
we'll
bring
back
the
iga
here
to
this
committee
first,
so
on
zoom.
Unless
there's
any
other
questions,
roll
call
on
zoom,
please.
A
G
G
A
All
right
last
thing
under
other
business.
I
have
something
unless
somebody
has
something
else
december
7th
looking
at,
that
is
the
date
of
the
new
board
being
sworn
in,
and
the
election
of
the
chairman
at
that
point
in
vice
chairman,
that's
again
december
7th,
it's
the
first
monday
by
by
county
code
and
statute,
actually
that
that's
when
that
has
to
happen.
A
We've
got
issues
with
the
room
and
the
number
of
people
that
can
be
in
the
room,
so
we
went
around
and
around
talking
with
anita
talking
with
state's
attorney's
office.
Looking
at
what
the
governor's
exemptions
on
oma
are
really
and
as
I'm
getting
my
little
cheat
sheet
here
out
out,
I've
only
got
room
in
this
in
this
room
for
15
board
members.
A
That's
all
we've
got
based
on
social
distancing
and
taking
up
the
whole
room,
and
you
need
dan
and
you
need
kelly
to
run
the
meeting,
and
so
we've
got
an
issue
as
far
as
you
know,
being
able
to
fit
all
board
members
in
the
room
at
once,
you
know
would
be
within.
If
we
put
everybody
in
the
room,
it
would
still
take
up
the
whole
room.
A
A
So
basically
I
have
to
come
up
with
something
now,
so
we
let
people
know
what's
going
on,
and
so
the
only
way
that
I
see
this
working
is
is
that
if
we
say
that
only
those
board
members
who
have
which
is
half
the
board
that
are
up
for
election,
this
time
would
be,
I
say,
eligible
to
come
in
to
the
meeting
in
and
of
itself
on
the
seventh
the
rest,
and
I
did
check
with
the
state's
attorney.
You
can
be
sworn
in
via
zoom.
A
A
Also,
unfortunately,
there's
no
room
for
because
those
seats
are
taken
up
in
the
back
under
those
auspices.
We
left
the
press
table
open,
obviously,
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
I
could
fit
more
people,
but
we'd
have
to
kick
you
out
and
that's
not
something
we're
going
to
do.
I
don't
want
to
hear
from
the
ipa
a
lawyer
on
that
one,
but
no
it's
it's
one
of
those
things
where
we
we
just
don't
have
the
room
with
six
feet.
A
So
unless
somebody
else
has
a
better
idea-
and
we
can't
move
this
show
on
the
road,
because
we're
talking
3
500,
if
there
is
substantial
infrastructure,
would
be
a
lot
more
than
that
that
we
have
to
build
to
broadcast
these
meetings.
That's
why
somebody
has
suggested:
let's
go
somewhere
else
for
all
of
our
meetings.
Well,
you
can't.
We
don't
have
that.
That's
a
cost
that
we
can't
bear
so
just
to
let
people
know
that
we're
looking
at
you
know.
Public
comment
is
still
going
to
be
call
in
those
14.
A
D
A
Unfortunately,
you're
still
breathing
the
same
air
yeah.
I
know
you
know
so
it's
it's
it's.
It
is
unfortunate,
it's
not
optimal,
but
I
don't
really
know
how
to
do
it
and
put
it
like
this.
If
we're
broadcasting
the
meeting
live
anyway,
there
is
no
oma
situation,
you
know,
so,
even
if
I
had
another
room
in
here,
they'd
still
be
just
like
they
were
sitting
at
home
on
their
computer
or
on
their
phone.
You
know
so.
Yes,
mr
kensinger.
E
G
A
A
A
A
So
we
do
have
chairs
in
the
hallway,
but
that's
really
not
in
the
best
interest
either
you
know.
So
how
do
I
put
this?
The
restaurants
can
make
up
their
own
mind
what
type
of
risk
they're
going
to
take
on
here.
I'm
not
willing
to
take
on
lawsuits
risk
by
trying
to
cram
a
bunch
of
people
in
this
room,
because,
ultimately,
the
restaurants
would
be
paying
out
their
own
money
in
the
bars
in
a
fine
or
whatever
here
we're
paying
out
the
taxpayers
money-
and
I
I'm
not
about
to
do
that.
So,
mr
s,.
I
A
Right
well,
I
just
I
had
to
do
something
now,
rather
than
wait
till
the
last
minute
give
people
time
to
plan
you
know,
and
then,
if
you
don't,
if
you
are
one
of
the
14
and
you
don't
necessarily
want
to
want
to
be
here-
and
someone
else
does
that's
why
I
say,
maybe
the
seniority
give
people
the
choice
based
on
the
open
seats
and
the
new
kid
on
the
block
is
at
the
bottom
of
that.
I'm.
