Description
Executive Committee Meeting 09/23/2020 9:00 AM
A
B
A
Excellent,
do
no
public
comment.
Have
no
public
comment
today.
I
need
a
a
motion
to
enter
executive
session
for
pending
litigation.
Five
ilcs
120
slash
two
c11.
I
guess
that
would
be
imminent
litigation.
I
would
say
because
it's
already
honest,
mr
burn,
mr
hess
would
be
a
second
roll
call
vote.
Please.
C
C
B
A
All
righty,
we
are
back
from
executive
session,
wednesday
september
23rd,
executive
committee
meeting.
All
members
are
still
present,
I
believe,
and
we've
had
some
other
folks
join
us
department,
heads
and
the
like.
I
guess
we'll
go
on
approval
of
minutes
august,
26
2020
and
let
me
take
a
look
here.
A
I
would
also
like
to
in
the
motion
to
approve
include
the
well.
We
don't
have
a
monthly
report
from
vac.
We
have
a
staffing
report
from
the
county
administrator
and
it
looks
like
those
are.
The
only
reports
is
there
a
motion
on
that
just
so,
we
can
vote
with
the
roll
call
once
instead
of
twice
or
three
times.
Mr
hunter,
mr,
let's
do
roll
call
and
I'm
gonna
zoom.
First.
C
A
Hi
hi,
we
got
you
john
all
in
the
room,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye.
Those
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries
already
under
legislative.
Mr
lear,
did
you
have
anything
today?
Not
today?
Not
today,
okay,
I
had
just
two
things
under
legislative.
I
was
talking
to
mr
byrd
about
this.
The
attorney
general
did
render
opinion
on
the
ability
of
a
municipality
within
a
county
to
enact
their
cupcake
ordinance.
A
It's
it's
gone
all
the
way
to
the
highest
sources
in
the
land.
You
know
the
the
cupcake
ordinance
well,
it
seems
that
only
counties
can
do
that
and
then,
if
a
county
doesn't
do
it,
a
municipality
cannot
so
at
some
point,
bradley
may
or
may
not
revisit
their
ordinance,
so
that's
on
them
and
their
citizens
to
do,
and
then
their
interactions
with
the
health
department.
A
It's
for
keiki,
bradley,
bourbonnais
and
aroma
park,
they're
paying
for
the
two
locations,
one
in
bradley
and
one
in
kankakee
for
a
drop-off
of
electronic
waste
and
they're,
also
paying
for
the
pickup.
The
county
has.
Unlike
all
the
other
municipalities,
we
have
a
grant
available
and
that
would
pay
for
the
the
transportation,
the
haul
off
and
the
pickup,
which
is
a
big
part
of
the
cost.
A
But
we
have
to
negotiate
with
the
private
company
on
the
cost
of
this,
for
them
to
handle
it.
So
again
everybody
saves
money,
and
then
we
have
a
public
private
partnership
with
one
drop-off
location
that
everybody
knows
about.
So
I
would
hope
that
the
committee
would
think
that's
a
good
idea,
I'll
talk,
because
it's
really
a
policy
and
an
intergovernmental
thing.
That's
why
I
mention
it
here
so
more
to
come.
Mr
chairman.
Yes,
mr.
A
A
Yeah
and
there
there
is
no
real
downside
to
this
at
all
for
anybody,
it's
a
huge
plus
for
the
for
the
entire
community.
We
want
to
keep
the
tvs
and
all
the
stuff
out
of
the
ditches
in
the
rural
areas.
You
know
I
mean
because
we
all
know
what
happens
out
between
moments
and
hopkins
park.
It's
just
people
come
from
indiana
to
jump
in
the
ditches
over
there.
So
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
profound.
A
G
A
But
you
know,
I
know
where
you're
going
yeah
it's
it's
too
important,
not
to
take
the
leadership
role,
because
it's
our
program
to
manage
and
we
want
everybody
on
board.
What
we
don't
want
is
somebody
in
the
municipality
to
show
up
there,
let's
just
say
you're
from
town
x
in
kankakee
county
and
you
go
to
bring
your
e-waste
and
you
pull
out
your
driver's
license.
They
say:
well,
your
town
didn't
opt
into
this.
You
have
to
pay
us
to
take
this
tv,
that's
not
good
for
the
residents
or
anybody.
A
D
D
Judicial
has
asked
us
to
expand
the
wireless
network
in
the
courthouse
we
did
that
they
needed.
Some
concern
saw
some
concerns
concerning
their
court
reporters
the
zba
started
streaming
that
monday,
they
previously
weren't
being
streamed
assessors
office.
We
reconfigured
the
room
that
you
have
there
for
wiring,
so
we
can
quickly
switch
over.
So
the
board
of
review
can
have
public
meetings
in
relations
to
how
we're
dealing
with
covid.
D
The
probation
department
has
ordered
quite
a
few
more
laptops
in
case
they
ever
have
to
go
through
a
shutdown
and
they
can
have
their
employees
work
from
home.
We're
setting
those
up
and
many
other
items
like
that.
So
we're
we're
on
budget
report
approaching
normalcy,
but
we
still
get
requests
per
the
departments
to
in
preparation.
In
case
we
ever
have
to
go
through
a
shutdown
again.
A
And
so
so
you
guys
know
we
met
with
the
courts,
we're
because
we
have
money
still
left
from
cures
at
the
cures.
Act
covid,
basically
the
coven
money.
We
were
looking
at.
How
do
we
utilize
this
to
if
we
go
back
into
not
if
it's
more
of
a
when,
but
if
we
people
can't
come
into
work
and
people
have
to
work
from
home?
How
do
we
take
advantage
of
technology
where
it
may
benefit
us
now
for
covet,
and
then
that
would
have
an
application
beyond
covet?
A
And
if
we
go
into
next
year
we
may
not
get
reimbursed
for
some
of
those
things
so
we're
looking
at
it
right
now
and
crafting
a
complete
plan
that
would
allow
and
actually
there's
a
lot
of
like
you
know,
job
responsibility,
things
that
would
have
to
be
tweaked
within
some
of
our
labor
partners.
So
to
kevin's
credit
he's
he's
pretty
adept
at
going
between
those
two
you
know
touch
points
to
be
able
to
make
sure
we're
walking
the
straight
and
narrow.
A
F
F
D
And
they're
in
our
they're
in
our
set
up
room,
we're
prepping
those
they
also
had
res.
They
had
ordered
some,
maybe
five
or
six
prior
month
we
received
those
set.
Those
up
right
away,
got
them
back
to
them.
Now
I
believe
I
don't
know
if
I'm
supposed
to
say
the
numbers,
but
we
got
about
20
more
that
we
just
picked
up
yesterday
and
we
put
in
a
room
and
we'll
start
prepping
those,
so
they
ordered
them.
They
go
by
the
specs
that
I
give
to
them.
A
And
so
the
committee
knows
I
apologize
mr
hess
mr
hess
is
chairman
of
criminal
justice.
Was
the
president
as
well
to
get
his
input
in
this
meeting?
You
know
it
was.
It
went
very
well.
It
was
a
really
really
group
group
effort
of
of
how
to
get
from
a
to
b
and
considering
what
everybody's
needs
were,
which
is
kind
of
what
we
do
here.
So
anything
else,
kevin.
A
You
guys
need
to
know
he
does
a
bang-up
job.
If
there
was
a
department
with
all
this
technology,
we
did
need
another
person.
I
know
everybody
says
they
need
somebody
else,
you're
doing
a
lot
you're
doing
like
three
or
four
people's
work,
especially
with
the
way
we
use
technology
within
the
the
current
covet
situation.
But
in
general,
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you.
So
I'm
not
saying
it'll
be
reflected
in
next
year's.
C
A
Managing
expectations,
kevin
health
department,
john
bevis,
isn't
here
today
mr
burn
is
on
the
health
department
board
and,
and
we
I
was
on
the
call
with
their
board
meeting,
and
we
thought
it
was
a
good
idea
to
to
give
an
update
on
what
the
health
department's
policy
is.
As
far
as
trying
to
use
the
best
word,
not
the
one
that
popped
into
my
head,
encouraging
businesses
to
to
deal
with
the
governor's
requirements.
C
H
Go
there,
you
go.
That's
very
political!
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
We
had
a
meeting
last
thursday
night.
Our
regularly
scheduled
meeting,
which
chairman
wheeler
jumped
on
in
regards
to
the
policies
set
forth
for
the
health
department.
Do
their
job
with
guidance
from
the
board
john,
takes
the
recommendations
of
the
board
and
the
board
installs
policies.
H
There's
been
a
lot
of
issues
regarding
the
mitigation
and
the
administrative
rules
which
are
passed
from
springfield,
which
is
very
gray,
doesn't
give
much
guidance
to
the
health
department,
but
yet
the
health
department
has
a
job
to
do.
That
being
said,
there's
a
lot
of.
There
were
issues
with
regards
to
the
bars
and
restaurants
who
were
targeted
in
this
last
mitigation.
H
You
know,
as
I
said
in
the
meeting,
so
I
can't
get
a
hamburger
at
oliver's
in
my
district
and
go
inside,
but
yet
I
can
go
inside
and
buy.
A
gallon
of
paint
at
lowe's
makes
no
sense.
So
we
installed,
we
basically
gave
john
and
the
health
department
a
new
policy
in
the
past
over
the
last
few
months,
when
this
all
started
there
have
been
letters
written
to
on
behalf
of
the
states.
H
You
know
when
they
go
to
visit
a
business
if
they
find
that
they
need
to
be
addressed,
they'll
copy,
the
state's
attorney
and
pertinent
people
involved
in
this.
Regarding
this
issue,
he
was
copying
the
attorney
general
well
that
there's
no
longer
that
really
was
there's
no
reason
to
so
we're
keeping
everything
in
house
county
here,
the
kankakee
county
health
department,
let's
deal
with
the
kinky
county
businesses
here.
H
H
We
have
a
new
policy
stating
that
the
health
department
now
has
has,
between
the
day
of
the
complaint
and
seven
days
for
an
initial
visit
sort
of
a
hey.
We
have
a
complaint:
here's
what
it
is,
then
they
have
to
wait
another
seven
days
to
come
back
and
see
if
it's
been
rectified
and
if
there's
still
an
ongoing
issue,
that's
another
seven
days.
So,
quite
honestly,
from
the
date
of
complaint
to
the
final,
where
there
needs
to
be
a
directive
or
an
action.
21
days
we
were
finding
out.
H
There
was
very
a
lot
of
grayery
in
this
matter
and
we've
been
having.
There
was
a
lot
of
issues
going
on
and
confusion
amongst
the
restaurant
and
bar
owners.
You
know
you
have
some
restaurants
that
are
open,
some
not
and
also
made
it
clear.
The
health
department
has
no
legal
recourse
to
close
any
business.
Now,
if
there's
a
salmonella
outbreak,
there's
an
imminent
threat
to
a
person
in
a
restaurant.
Yes,
there
is
an
imminent
threat,
that's
where
the
state's
attorney
can
come
in
and
do
something
with
an
imminent
threat.
With
this
it's
very
wide.
H
I
asked
the
question.
Okay,
we've
been
contact
tracing
for
months
now.
Can
you
give
us
the
board
members?
Ask
this
question:
can
you
give
us
definitive
data
that
backs
up
that
spike?
The
spike
in
cases
are
due
to
restaurant
and
buyers.
No
one
can
provide
that
data
so
anyways
to
circle
around
and
where
we're
at
right
now
there's
a
new
policy,
an
act
that
was
voted
on
thursday
with
the
new
board
that
is
sat
down
thursday.
So
that
is
the
seven
day.
H
Seven
day,
seven
day
so
21
days
between
the
complaint
and
the
final
action
should
a
business
be
non-compliant,
say
your
chicken
finger
business
again
ron
being
a
problem,
you
will
have
the
ability
to
come
before
the
board.
We
will
call
a
special
health
board
meeting
where
you,
the
business,
comes
in
and
gets
due.
Process
comes
in
and
gets
to
explain
what's
going
on,
and
we
feel
that
we
need
to
be
it.
Illness
was
getting
to
the
point
where
there's
an
adversarial
relationship
between
the
health
department
and
some
of
the
public.
H
We
need
to
get
get
rid
of
that
and
make
it
more.
We
don't
want
to
tell
the
health
part,
they
can't
do
their
job
or
they
have
a
job
to
do.
We
don't
want
to
stop
that
or
prevent
that.
That
being
said,
we
need
to
be
partners
and
be
able
to
have.
There
are
all
sides
of
this.
We
need
to
work
with
everybody,
so
I
hope
that
came
across
well.
A
Yeah
yeah,
that
that
is
that's
exactly
what
went
on
and
you
know
it
was.
It
was
good
that
we
all
talked
about
it
and
we
all
really
want.
The
same
goal
is
to
provide
the
board
to
provide
the
policy
to
the
health
department
leadership,
so
they
have
something
to
follow
and
and
and
to
rely
upon,
and
that
backs
them
up
in
their
actions
and
that
that
was
really
good.
The
other
part
was
with
contact
tracing
and
I've
said
the
same
thing
to
dr
zeke
in
a
very
respectful
manner.
It's
it's.
A
I
ask.
The
question
is
just
like
you
said:
is
there
data
that
shows
that
restaurants
and
bars
were
the
dude
that
caused
a
spike
or
were
the
reason
that
the
numbers
went
down
yeah
and
neither
is
available?
It
doesn't
exist,
they're,
not
able
to
say
either
and
they're
committed
on
the
phone
call
with
with
the
with
the
department
of
public
health
that,
with
their
new
contact
tracing,
that's
a
hard
thing
to
say,
contact
tracing
database,
that's
using
salesforce,
which
is
a
platform
they
should.
A
H
A
Really
what
it
comes
down
to
whatsoever
and-
and
we
all
know
that
restaurants
and
bars
in
kankakee
and
will
county
were
all
open
anyway
for
the
most
part,
I
would
say
80
of
them,
they
still
did
distancing.
They
still
did
you
know
proper
procedures
in-house,
but
it
we
know
we
drove
around.
We
saw
it
yeah,
it
was
just
it
was
there,
and
I.
H
Had
two
meetings
with
restaurant
owners
and
senator
joyce
and
state
attorney
rowe,
and
they
said
we
want
to
be
partners,
we're
not
trying
to
thumb
our
nose
at
anybody.
If
we
are
in
fact
the
cause
talk
to
us
we'll
do
what
we
need
to
do.
Even
it
means
shutting
down,
but
that's
the
thing:
are
they?
No?
No
one
can
back
that
up
and
again,
you're
really
crippling
people
and
putting
people
in
a
bad
spot
financially
mentally.
That
just
shouldn't
happen
based
on
arbitrary
numbers.
A
H
We
talked
about
this
and
since
it
started,
and
some
of
the
other
counties
back
in
april
may,
who
were
doing
their
own,
the
state
did
not
walk
in
and
close
one
thing
as
far
as
we're
aware
of,
but
the
you
know,
the
restaurant
owners
are
nervous.
They
don't
want
to
have
to
have
back
fines
or
back
something
happen,
but
I
think
moving
forward
and
I
know
they've
had
discussions
with
private
legal
resources.
H
A
A
G
Let
me
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
excellent
response
report.
Thank
you
actually,
and
I
just
kudos
to
you
senator
joyce
and
the
chairman,
and
I've
had
extensive
discussions
with
the
senator
about
that,
and,
what's
really
amazing
is
that
you
guys
were
in
lockstep
and
not
adversarial
in
terms
of
the
governor
per
se,
but
pointed
out
some
of
the
inconsistencies
on
some
issues.
G
G
It's
been
catastrophic
to
a
lot
of
our
business
owners
regarding
this
whole
covert
thing,
but
I'm
I'm
pleased
that
that
the
it
appears
that
the
health
board
is
is
taking
more
leadership
in
terms
of
what
should
happen,
and
I
think
is
very
clear
in
terms
of
the
21
days
that
you
articulated-
and
you
know,
government
has
a
role
to
play
in
in
this
particular
situation.
For
sure
and-
and
I
think
you
guys
have
done
a
hell
of
a
job-
really
good
job.
A
pragmatic
job.
A
A
You
know
because,
as
the
restaurants
told
me
like
many
of
them,
I
don't
think
had
anybody
say
anything
different
if
we're
the
cause
we'll
take
our
medicine,
so
to
speak,
we'll
we'll
we'll
be
the
ones
that
are
shut
down,
but
nobody
can
tell
us
and
prove
that
we
are
the
cause.
So
with
that
there's
nothing
else.
Moving
on,
we
don't
have
anything
from
schools.
Today,
dr
murphy,
we
have
no
vac
report
submitted
so
we're
up
to
county
administrators
report.
Anita
speckman
we've
already
proved
staffing
just
to
kind
of
prepare.
A
I
The
one
thing
I
did
want
to
point
out
the
corrections
officers
while
it
shows
128
there,
there's
actually
119
in
last
week's
payroll
actually
available
for
work.
So
you
have
people
that
are
either
work
comp
to
military
leave,
fmla
leave,
so
they
really
are
way
down
from
where
they
were
a
year
ago,
so,
but
other
than
that.
Any
questions
concerns
how.
G
I
I
Okay,
mark
rogers
is
not
here
today,
but
he
asked
me
to
put
this
forward.
It
is
a
memorandum
of
understanding
to
be
attached
to
their
contract
right
now,
there's
just
some
language
issues
related
to
paid
leave.
When
someone
is
on
extended
illness.
Last
year
they
had
a
person
who
was
out
for
an
extended
period
of
time
with
a
serious
illness.
This
year
they
had
one
as
well,
who
was
out
for
several
months.
I
I
What
would
happen
is
if
you're
out,
let's
say
for
three
months
for
serious
illness
this
year,
your
vacation
for
next
year,
if
you
use
extended
illness,
would
be
reduced
by
a
quarter
and
be
a
third.
Yes,
that
would
be
a
quarter
because
for
purposes
of
this
section
it
says,
work
hours
of
work
includes
sick,
no
paid
or
unpaid
absence
shall
be
counted
as
hours
of
work.
I
Well,
we
say
it
differently
in
other
contracts,
most
notably
we
use
it
in
the
corrections,
contract
and
sheriff's
contract.
We
have
somewhat
similar
language,
not
as
clear
in
the
county
policy
for
non-union
employees,
but
the
way
we
say
it
in
those
contracts
is
this
benefits
during
leave.
Neither
holidays
vacation
nor
sick
pay
shall
be
earned
on
an
unpaid
leave
of
absence
very
simple
right.
I
My
recommendation
would
be
to
approve
this
for
now
and
then
with
our
next
contract,
removing
all
that
complicated
language
throughout
that
contract
and
adding
the
one
sentence
that
makes
it
very
clear
if
you've
not
been
diligent
in
saving
your
extended
illness
and
then
you
need
usually
it
happens
when
they
get
to
be
older,
something
I
know
youthfully
changing,
I'm
right
there
don't
don't
be
offended,
I'm
right
there.
I
see
these
people
and
I'm
like
oh.
A
G
C
I
We
have
we
have
first
off.
Let
me
say
this:
covid
contracted
in
the
workplace
is
work
comp
and
therefore
paid
I
understand,
but
what
I'm
number
one
number
two:
the
federal
government
has
also
granted
employees
two
weeks
off
all
employees
two
weeks
off
for
any
coveted
related
number.
That's
the
second
thing
number
three:
all
employees
under
fmla
are
granted
12
weeks
now
paid.
We,
our
policy
requires
they
use
their
paid
time
off
during
that
period,
but
they
could
end
up
in
an
unpaid
situation.
Yes,.
G
That's
in
our
other
contracts,
yes,
well
it
doesn't,
it
still
doesn't
make
it
right.
Plessy
versus
ferguson,
dred,
scott,
just
because
it's
it's
law
doesn't
mean
it's
correct
and
you
know
you
know
people
look
who
look
like
me.
You
know
prior
to
the
civil
rights
act
of
64.,
you
know
we
weren't
treated,
you
know
fairly
and
and
and
there
were
some
equity
all
I'm
saying
to
you,
there's
some
adverse
impact
implications
of
what
you've
indicated.
You've
intimated
yourself.
There
may
be
some
issues
regarding
people
being
adversely
affected.
G
J
I,
as
one
who
negotiates
contracts
with
labor
and
have
labor
agreements
signed
with
local
150..
This
doesn't
sound
like
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
but
rather
a
change
in
the
contract.
If
you
read
the
last
paragraph
cut
to
the
quick,
it
said
that
time
spent
on
extended
leave
shall
be
considered.
Hours
worked
for
purposes
of
accumulating
vacation
and
sick
time.
J
I
J
I
I
A
G
A
I'm
getting
that
okay,
okay,
I
have
to
ask
for
a
second.
So
is
there
a
second
okay,
miss
weber?
Now
the
the
the
original
on
the
is
there
any
thoughts
on
just
the
amendment
part
itself,
not
the
whole
question,
just
simplifying
it
into
that
one
sentence
and
then
putting
the
expiration
date
any
the
zoom
call,
because
what
we're
gonna
have
to
do
is
we're
gonna
have
to
write
this
up,
and
then
we
have
to
go
back
to
the
union
in
mark
rogers
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
agreement
with
this.
G
A
G
Chairman
and
with
all
due
respect,
mr
kendrick,
let
me
just
say
this
to
you:
I
spent
39
years
with
the
state
of
illinois
working
with
contracts.
I
spent
40
years
with
the
city
of
kankakee.
Let
me
let
me
finish.
Let
me
finish,
and
I
dennis
barron
and
yours
truly
were
on
the
negotiating
teams
dealing
with
contracts
with
the
city
of
kanikakee,
I'm
very
familiar
with
with
contract
server
with
all
due
respect.
But
let
me
say
this
to
you.
You
know
me
being
the
new
kid
on
the
block.
G
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
and
that
and
so
forth.
Why
don't?
We
refer
this
matter
back
to
her
for
further
clarification
and
bring
the
language
back,
because,
right
now,
it's
very
muddled,
it's
very
gray,
et
cetera,
as
opposed
to
us
amending
stuff
and
all
that
stuff.
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
commissioner,
but
it
wouldn't
be
more
appropriate
to
kick
it
back
to
her.
She
can
interface
with
organized
labor
and
brings
a
better
product
back
to
us.
A
That's
what
we're
doing
actually
is
that
we
wanted
to
get
the
language
that
this
committee
wants,
because
anything
can't
go
before
the
board
until
the
organized
labor
agrees
to
it.
So
that's
what
this
does
just
that
so
you're
spot
on
spot
on.
So
if
we
approve
it,
it
doesn't
go
right
to
the
full
board
because
we
don't
have
the
agreement
of
the
organized
labor
at
that
point.
A
It's
really
not
a
negotiated
thing,
it's
a
clarification
thing
so
yeah
and
we
we
will
negotiate
that
term
when
and
not
necessarily
we
but
the
highway
department,
because
they're
a
separate
governmental
unit,
if
you
will
we're
involved
in
that
negotiation
on
some
level,
but
so
that's
when
it
will
actually
get
codified.
This
would
be
just
an
mou
for
the
rest
of
because
it
is
unfair.
The
way
this
is
is
written
in
here
there.
It
is
cloudy
it's
muddy
and
there
could
be
different
interpretations
of
it.
A
A
I
So
the
key
is
that
under
sick
time,
in
order
to
be
it
says,
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
the
entire
annual
vacation
allowance,
an
employee
must
receive
compensation
for
more
than
80
hours
of
work
in
each
month
of
the
annual
period.
So
you
have
to
have
worked
at
least
80
hours
per
month
and
for
purposes
of
this
section,
only
actual
work
time,
plus
vacations
and
personal,
shall
be
considered.
I
A
And
if
they
don't,
if
they've
used
all
their
sick
time
and
then
they're
off,
they
don't
accrue
vacation
time
yeah
I
just
want,
because
that
was
a
personal
choice.
It's
not
a
penalty
right,
it's
a
choice
to
use
your
sick
time
and
then
it
is-
and
I
I
I
would
say,
is
that
pretty
clear,
yeah
and
then
we'll
add
the
time.
J
J
A
B
D
D
G
A
Just
so
we're
clear
if
you're
in
a
direct
conflict,
that's
the
only
time
you
can
abstain.
You
petition
the
chair
and,
if
there's
a
disagreement
on
the
board,
the
board
votes
yeah,
that's
just
the
county
code.
Okay,
now
we're
at
the
the
whole
measure
at
hand.
The
the
is
we
had
a
motion
in
a
second
on
the
floor,
originally
from.
B
C
C
A
G
A
G
I
I
I
I
So
there
are
two
more
within
the
last
30
days
since
this
report
was
run.
What
I'm
asking
is,
you
will
also
see
the
renewal.
The
renewal
holds
the
same
price,
a
dollar,
ninety
five
per
person
for
530
people,
it's
a
thousand
thirty
three
dollars
per
month.
I
am
asking
that
it
be
renewed
for
and
be
budgeted.
A
Second
yeah,
mr
burn,
and
again
thank
you
for
that
to
keep
us
in
line
with
the
way
things
flow.
The
the
number
of
website
visits
is
staggering.
For
this
being
a
new
program,
people
really
did
use
it.
They
got
on
there
to
look
at
the
information
and
go,
and
you
could
see
that
in
the
data-
and
it
may
seem
like
you
know-
we're
spending
a
lot
of
money
for
just
a
few
people.
A
That
is
absolutely
it's
like
a
five
to
one
return,
because
those
people
aren't
accessing
the
the
health
plan
they're
going
through
this
system,
so
you're
gonna
pay
for
it
or
not
pay
for
an
experience
on
the
health
plan.
So
it
is,
I
think,
it's
a
really
good
first
year
effort
and
once
we
really
continually
market
this
to
our
employees,
it's
going
to
get
better
and
better,
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody
has
any
comment
on
that.
I
just
want
to
mention.
A
I
looked
it
up
it's
about
a
five
to
one
roi
on
these
programs
and
that's
legit.
That's
just
not
somebody
trying
to
sell
you
something
they
can
document.
You
know
it's
it's
human
resource
times
and
the
department
heads
time
it's
the
employee's
time,
it's
the
cost
on
the
health
plan.
It's
all
this
together,
so
any
other
thoughts,
good
zoom
ready
for
a
vote.
Roll
call
please.
A
I
F
A
Appointment:
three
appointments
I'll
run
through
these
real
quick;
three
openings
on
the
mantino
number:
nine
drainage,
one
on
the
momentum
yellow
head:
oh
it's
drainage.
District
season
moments
in
yellow
hit
drainage
number
one:
three
openings
moments:
pembroke
union
drainage
number,
one
one:
opening
on
the
raymond
drainage
district,
one
opening
spring
creek
drainage;
one;
opening
union
drainage
district
number;
two
one
on
the
yellow
head
in
washington,
union
drainage,
district
number,
two
one
on
animal
welfare
advisory
committee:
it's
a
veterinarian!
A
The
current
vet
is
reapplying,
but
we
still
put
it
out
there
every
year,
because
that's
the
one
position
there
that
is
every
year,
is
renewed
or
opens
three
openings
on
the
kanke
county,
regional
planning.
Commission,
the
next
one
has
been
filled,
one
opening
on
the
historic
preservation
commission,
one
on
the
essex
township
fire
protection
district
and
one
on
the
kenky
township
fire
protection,
district
and
sorry
mine's
kind
of
cut
off.
That
was
all
the
appointments
I
did
want
to
have.
A
A
quick
discussion
in
your
packet
is
a
copy
of
the
agreement
for
the
kankakee
county
land
bank
authority.
This
is
a
discussion.
It's
not
a
vote.
I
just
want
to
mention
that
that's
the
way
it
was
put
on
the
agenda
ben
wilson
is
here
for
those
who
may
not
know
ben.
If
you
could
explain
a
little
bit
about
your
role
within
this
process
and
with
the
the
county
so
sure.
E
So
in
in
looking
at
you
know
some
some
of
the
county
land
banks
or
county
wide
land
banks
or
multi-regional
land
banks.
The
county
really
has
to
be
a
partner
of
this.
As
we
we
exercise
our
authority
to
be
the
the
tax
trustee,
which
is
a
power
given
to
us.
That's
not
given
to
anybody
else
in
the
state.
E
We,
I
don't
want
to
say
we
hold
all
the
cards
in
the
process,
but
we're
pivotal
in
in
moving
properties
quickly
and
getting
delinquent
properties
back
on
the
tax
rolls
so
in
in
kankakee
county.
There
are
tax
properties
that
go
to
sale
as
many
as
12
times,
and
it
just
somebody
buys
it
through
the
trustee
for
as
little
as
700
and
then
doesn't
pay
the
taxes
on
it.
E
Next
year
it
becomes
delinquent,
and
so
the
districts,
every
single
district
isn't
receiving
tax
dollars
for
these
properties-
and
these
are
you
know,
10
and
12,
and
15
and
20
years
that
they're
not
receiving
any
dollars
for
the
property.
So
how
do
you
turn
this
delinquent
property
or
potentially
derelict
property?
You
know
sometimes
in
need
of
demolition
property
into
something
useful.
E
Well,
you
put
together
a
tool
like
a
land
bank,
and
so
you
put
together
guidelines
and
the
chairman
and
and
john
and
anita
and
the
city,
staff
and
kankakee,
and
I
have
met
and
talked
this
through
and
really
kind
of
exercised.
This
all
the
way
up
to
an
iga
which
you
have
in
front
of
you
by
the
way
john
coughlin.
E
A
E
The
purchasing
of
detention
ponds-
and
you
know
public
right-of-ways
and
things
that
if
they,
when
there's
that
many
pins
in
a
county
and
things
you
know
slip
through
the
cracks
as
far
as
the
sales
are
concerned,
and
it
does
it,
it
potentially
has
a
direct
cost
to
the
county
on
on
maintaining
these
properties.
So
if
you
sit
down
you
put
a
tool
together,
the
the
tool
really
is
focused
around
moving.
E
I
don't
want
to
say
exclusively
residential
properties,
but
it's
a
really
big
piece
of
this.
We
have
single-family
owner-occupied
homes
that
have
been
turned
over
multiple
times.
They
become
an
impact
on
the
neighborhood.
They
become
an
impact
on
the
general
quality
of
life.
They
can
harbor
it's
a
it's
an
attractive
nuisance.
Your
kids
want
somewhere
to
hang
out.
They
can,
you
know,
break
windows,
things
like
that.
E
I
mean
we've
all
seen
that,
but
there
are
also
components
of
this
that
other
land
banks
have
utilized
that
we've
discussed
in
putting
together
kind
of
the
the
next
piece
of
this,
which
is
a
we
have
a
iga
between
the
entities
and
then
we
would
go
into
policies
and
procedures
for
operating
the
organization.
How
do
you
turn
commercial
properties
that
potentially
have
some
impediments
to
economic
development?
Get
those
off
the
books,
one
of
the
biggest
pieces
of
that
is
basis.
E
A
developer
comes
in
and
is
looking
at
back
taxes
on
a
property,
and
they
say
we'd
love
to
be
involved
in
this.
But
you
know
it's:
if
the
city
uses
their
capacity,
which
is
deed
into
a
foreclosure
that
could
be
a
year
or
two
before
they
would
be
able
to
receive
title
of
the
property.
A
developer
doesn't
want
to
wait
a
year
or
two
for
somebody
maybe
to
be
able
to
to
wipe
the
taxes.
E
You
know
on
this
in
this
back
tax
situation,
we
as
the
county
trustee
for
the
taxes
can
move
that
process.
You
know
very
quickly
so
that
that
becomes
really
this
great
synergy
in
the
partnership.
So
you've
got
properties.
I
mean
we'll
use
an
example,
the
one
directly
across
the
street
here
you
know
it
has
been
vacant
for
a
very
long
time,
and
I
know
the
city's
had
you
know
their
eye
on
it.
E
There's
been
discussions
surrounding
that,
but
it's
it's
our
next
door,
neighbor
right,
they're
directly
across
street
we'd,
really
like
to
see
something
happen
there,
but
there's
just
things
that
encumber
the
property
that
really
cause
a
developer.
To
say
you
know
I
I
don't
want
to
be
in
that
really.
You
know
complicated
ownership
scenario
where
a
land
bank
members
of
the
county
and
members
of
the
city
could
acquire
the
property
through
our
means
and
then
turn
that
over
through
purchase,
sale
agreement
and
then
also
afford
ourselves
some
protections
on
that
right.
E
We
would
maintain
that
any
developer
that
is
purchasing
property
has
certain
capacity,
including
financial
capacity.
They
would
have
timelines
surrounding
how
quickly
or
not
quickly
would
do
the
development
you
can
create
this
to
where
it's
not
just
sitting
out
there
and
going
through
the
process
over
and
over
and-
and
we
can
really
step
into
that-
and
there
is
a
little
bit
of
tax
wiping
there,
but
keep
in
mind
the
tax
wiper
we're
talking
about
they're
not
being
paid
anyway.
There's
a
couple
scenarios
they've
run
through
it's
one
of
the
entities
in
winnebago
county.
E
I
just
want
to
share
this.
They
take
a
ten
thousand
dollar
piece
of
property,
currently
have
a
ten
thousand
dollar
piece
of
property.
With
about
ten
thousand
dollars
worth
of
back
taxes,
so
a
developer
is
not
going
to
I
mean
fair
market
value
is
ten
thousand
dollars
a
house
broken
on
windows.
You
know
foundation
crack
bad
roof,
whatever
they're
not
going
to
take
that
on
to
then
have
that
back
tax
liability
as
their
they're,
not
so
their
basis
becomes.
You
know,
20
000
into
it
as
a
basis,
so
you
have.
E
Well,
we
now
know
that
when
it
goes
down
to
the
the
township
assessor
level
and
gets
the
assessor's
office
they're
going
to
assess
that
at
that
sale,
price
plus
improvements,
so
you
have
a
essentially
a
zero
taxable
property
right
now
that
now
might
be
35
or
40
000
taxable,
and
that
can
then
be
turned
over
to
single
family
owner
occupied
could
be
turned
over
to
a
local
developer
because
flipping's
not
a
four
letter
word.
I
mean
this
idea
that
there
are.
E
There
are
people
interested
in
investing
in
our
community
and
they're
great
partners
in
this,
and
we
could
utilize
them
to
turn
over
quite
a
few
properties.
I
think
we've
got
around
100
initially
identified
properties
as
it
relates
to
the
land
bank.
The
city
of
kankakee
has
received
a
grant.
It's
the
grant
is
used
exclusively
for
residential
properties.
We're
obviously
also
focused
on
commercial
properties
as
part
of
this,
but
it's
a
combo
of
those
two
things
we'll,
I
think.
E
On
the
28th
and
five
days,
the
grants
are
due
to
ida,
we're
probably
going
to
be
applying
for
another
as
much
up
to
500
thousand
dollars,
one
grant
from
the
city
and
one
grant
from
the
county
for
additional
funds.
For
this.
Now,
whether
or
not
we're
successful
in
that
that
just
really
moves
that
a
little
further
as
far
as
our
initial
capacity
and
taking
it
over
that's.
A
Kind
of
the,
so
that's
that's
the
background
of
what
it
is.
So
the
the
we
worked
on
this
for
upwards
of
six
months.
It
really
got
started.
Moving
fast
and
covet
was
a
big
monkey
in
the
wrench.
You
know
I
mean
it
was
everybody
knows
that
that
just
kind
of
threw
everything
off.
You
know
we're
not
a
lot
happening
in
that
time
period,
so
we
we
finally
got
to
the
point
of
everybody
agreed
on
it.
A
It's
important
to
note
everybody
meeting
the
city
and
the
county,
with
the
lawyers
and
and
myself
and
the
mayor.
We
agreed
on
kankakee
county
land
bank
authority
as
the
name,
because
it's
very
important
to
note
that,
while
this
agreement
in
front
of
you
has
three
members
from
the
county
and
three
members
from
the
city,
so
it
forces
agreement.
Okay,
absolutely
forces
us
to
agree
on
it.
We're
we're
the
security
council.
A
If
you
will
like
the
united
nations
and
and
so
that's
a
good
thing
that
forces
us
to
move
as
one
and
act
as
one,
but
you
can
add
other
entities
and
that's
the
goal
is
to
add
a
bradley
of
bourbon
a
mantino.
I
mean
just
you
know
these
big
industrial.
If
there's
an
industrial
place,
that's
just
sitting
there
with
back
taxes
and
liens,
you
can
have
those
wiped
and
get
it
in
the
hands
of
somebody
else
very
quickly.
A
Those
municipalities
would
get
kankakee's
home
rule
powers
for
that
type
of
endeavor
and
as
the
county
would
get
home
rule
powers
through
kankakee's
participation,
kankakee
wins
because
they
don't
have
to
wait
two
years
to
have
this
go
through
the
process
and
you
could
run
the
daylight
really
quickly.
That's
why
the
city
and
the
county.
It
has
to
be
a
home
rule
community
and
it
has
to
be
the
county.
A
The
problem
we
have
and
I'll
just
mention
that
is,
is
that
we
agreed
on
the
name
and
then
the
name
was
changed
by
the
mayor
of
kankakee
to
kankakee
land
bank
when
they
passed
it
arbitrarily
and
at
first
it
was
a
mistake
and
then
it
wasn't
a
mistake.
We
received
a
phone
call
from
their
staff.
Saying
sorry
for
the
mistake,
we'll
fix
it.
That's
why
it's
not
here
for
a
vote.
It's
because
we
are
a
body
that
is
for
all
of
the
county.
A
We
don't
if
it
helps
one
municipality,
that's
great,
but
if
I
were
bradley
bourbon
and
hershey
and
all
these
other
towns
would
I
join
the
kankakee
land
bank.
This
is
the
kankakee
county.
We
live
in
heck.
We
could
call
it
river
valley,
land
bank
authority
for
all
I
care,
but
you
cannot
do
what
just
happened.
I
have
my
own
theory
of
why
it
happened.
Let
the
church
say
amen,
but
but
you
know
this,
we
are.
A
I
am
steadfast
in
this
because
I
will
protect,
I
want
to
say
the
rights,
but
I
want
it
to
be
something
everybody
can
join
and
be
part
of
together
and
not
to
have
it
be
so
parochial
and
used
in
a
year
when
when
the
elections
are
going
to
be
starting.
So
with
that
to
be
said,
I
just
if
there's
questions
about
what
it
is
and
how
it
operates.
We
can
go
down
that
road.
I
really
want
to
have
the
discussion
now,
but
I
didn't
want
you
to
think
that
I'm
not
for
this.
A
I've
been
trying
to
get
this
done
for
10
years.
Even
before
I
was
on
this
board.
This
is
a
big
deal
and
I
do
want
to
mention
this.
Also
150
000
is
nothing
that'll
be
spent,
probably
in
four
months,
because
you
have
to
pay
the
lawyers
to
set
up
all
the
the
paperwork.
You
have
to
pay
a
person
to
run
it.
Okay,
because
you
you
can't.
This
is
a
separate
entity.
Altogether.
You're
gonna
have
filings
you've,
gotta
acquire
property,
like
you
said,
ulta
surveys,
three
grand
this
won't.
A
Last
long,
the
south,
suburban
land
bank
was
created
with
a
million
dollars
that
was
given
by
the
attorney
general
in
illinois,
lisa
madigan
when
they
started,
and
that's
still
not
enough
for
all
those
communities.
So
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
we
need
the
shell
to
be
there,
so
we
can
get
money
into
it.
That's
very
important
to
me,
but
to
expect
that
it's
going
to
be
able
to
do
what
we
wanted
to
do
with
150
000
is
just
not
possible.
A
It's
enough
to
get
it
going,
but
it's
not
enough
enough
to
to
make
it
happen
and
really
have
it
start
working
because
it's
it's
churn.
You
need
properties
coming
in
and
out
in
and
out
in
and
out
in
and
out,
and
if
you
don't
have
the
money
to
do
that,
it
just
won't
work.
So
we'll
start
with
mr
hunter
and
then
mr
kensington.
A
Yeah,
I'm
trying
to
think
of
the
best
way
to
say
this.
The
city
council
approved
the
appointment
of
somebody.
That's
a
hired
contractor
to
the
city,
that's
running
their
planning
zoning
mike
hoffman,
mike
hoffman
who's
in
I,
like
the
guy,
he's
a
smart
guy.
He
doesn't
live
here
and
he's
paid
by
the
city,
so
I
I
don't
see
whether
it's
any
conflicts
or
not.
That's
really
up
for
the
citizens
of
kankakee
to
decide
if
they
like
that
type
of
arrangement.
Well,.
G
My
my
concern,
the
reason
why
I
brought
that
up
is
you
know
you
and
I
and
all
everybody
else
here-
has
skin
in
the
game.
You
know
this
guy
goes
up
I-57
north
and
I'm
not
sure
if
he
has
the
best
interest
of
the
county
at
hand.
No
disrespect
to
his
expertise
he's
a
phenomenal
guy
based
on
what
I've
heard,
but
that's
the
misgiving.
I
have
at
this
point
in
terms
of
the
the
participation
of
the
membership.
That's
what
I'm
saying!
Okay!
Thank
you.
J
Mr
kensinger,
I
think
this
is
an
excellent
idea
and
should
be
pursued,
and
I
kind
of
like
the
idea
of
having
one
outsider
on
the
board.
Their
vote
is
the
same
as
everybody
else's,
and
it
gives
us
a
new
perspective.
Many
times
a
developer
gets
an
idea
that
you
don't
see
because
you
have
blinders
on
in
the
county,
so
I
don't
see
a
problem
with
what
the
city
of
kent
key
wants
to
do.
A
E
Money
would
be
equally
controlled,
so
we
would
have
essentially
become
it
becomes
a
stalemate
in
the
vote
where
the
the,
if,
if
the
board
of
directors,
the
six
directors,
including
the
county,
which
you
know
the
chairman,
would
would
be
coming
back
to
this
group
and
and
discussing
it
with
all
of
you
before
those
types
of
decisions
would
be
made.
I
just
want
to
give
you
that
surety.
E
As
you,
you
read
through
some
of
that
kind
of
fiduciary
duty
language
in
in
this
iga,
we're
bound
to
as
a
county
are
bound
to
the
things
that
happen
by
that
board.
But
because
of
the
way
the
structure
came
out
of
our
conversations
with
mr
coglin
and
anita
and
andy,
we
made
sure
that
we
got
exactly
half
of
the
board
in
in
that
board
makeup
because
it
originally
started
off
as
nine
members.
E
They
were
kind
of
arbitrary.
There
was
three
arbitrarily
appointed
members
and
it
didn't
say
who
appointed
them,
and
so
then
that
became
a
scenario
where
we
could
be
tied
to
something
where
that
that
becomes
a
big
issue
for
the
chairman
he's.
You
know
giving
us
language
back
on
that.
How
do
we?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
happens?
So
we've
we've
come
up
with
three
and
three.
We
think
it
makes
sense.
E
A
Couldn't
have
another
entity
making
financial
decisions
for
the
county
that
that
is
just
not
something
that
I
was
comfortable
with
and
I'm
sure
you're
not
either
as
board
members.
We
we
force
a
consensus
and
then
we
all
have
skin
in
that
game
so
which
is
nice
thanks
ben.
I
appreciate
it
very
thorough
all
right
with
that.
A
motion
to
adjourn
mr
hess,
a
second
mr
byrne,
yep
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
I
apologize
wait
a
minute.
Is
there
any
new
business
old
business?
I
I
skipped
that
over.
I
apologize
everybody
just
belay.
