You
any
public
comment
today.
You
don't
have
anything
up
here
going
to
presentations.
None
today
approval
in
a
minutes,
December
26
2017,
and
a
motion
to
approve
mr.
Bern
mr.
McConnell,
all
those
in
favor.
Those
opposed
motion
carries
a
Health
Department.
No
excuse
me
legislative
mr.
leer.
Sorry
I
skipped
ahead
a
little
bit.
What
do
you
got
for
us
today?
Steve
hold
on
just
a
second
here:
yeah.
B
You
see
CI
meeting
yesterday
we
had
a
report
in
terms
of
some
of
the
general
conditions
in
regard
to
the
legislature.
They
were
scheduled
to
meet
this
week,
but
that
got
cancelled.
The
dealing
was
from
health
care
legislation.
That's
still
been
going
on
for
a
long
time.
One
of
the
things
that
a
kind
of
conceptual
level
is
going
on
is
bills
in
terms
of
government
streamlining.
B
It
appears
that
that
will
be
one
focused
on
governor
consolidation,
government
streamlining
but
most
of
the
legislation,
if
not
all
of
it
is
permissive
legislation,
so
it
would
permit
looking
into
those
kind
of
changes
in
government
structure.
How
far
even
that
legislation
is
going
to
go
is
unclear,
as
was
reported,
because
this
election
years
are
going
to
be
a
lot
of
legislation
introduced,
so
that
members
of
the
assembly
can
indicate
that
they
are
representing
interests
of
their
constituents.
B
It's
some
kind
of
a
personal
I
should,
or
maybe
not
personal
issue,
I
should
say,
but
a
specific
issue
that
came
out
of
Kane
County.
So
a
legislator
representing
part
of
Kane
County,
has
put
this.
In
the
likelihood
it's
going
to
go
anywhere,
it's
pretty
small,
but
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
you
may
be
reading
about,
as
the
General
Assembly
is
in
session.
B
A
D
I
believe
I
discussed
it
last
month
that
for
the
next
year
and
a
half
we
were
going
to
do
an
update,
refreshing
the
computers
throughout
the
county
network.
That
would
be
both
the
administrative
side
and
the
court
side,
which
includes
fan
X.
This
doesn't
address
the
sheriff
they're
on
their
own
budget.
They
will
do
whatever
they
do.
They
usually
work
something
out
with
me.
We
operate
differently
than
we
did
the
last
time
we
did.
D
What
we
plan
on
beginning
is
this
month
and
we're
as
far
as
this
billing
goes.
This
is
the
first
one
I'll
dressed
is
we're.
Gonna
go
bye-bye
floor
and
as
far
as
180
90s
court
or
the
admin
building,
the
sixth
floor
is
already
covered.
That
was
covered
when
the
SAO
or
the
state's
attorney's
office
did
their
refresh
last
year,
which
included
all
of
their
PCs.
They
paid
for
their
own
out
of
their
own
funding.
D
I'm
not
sure
where
the
funding
was
I,
think
it
was
a
combination
of
recovered
funds
or
grants
or
whatever,
regardless
we
didn't
have
to
pay
for
out
of
my
department.
I,
don't
believe
they
put
in
the
general
fund
request,
so
the
six
floors
covered.
The
next
floor
is
the
fifth
floor.
Obviously,
and
the
first
one
we're
gonna,
dress
and
I've
already
discussed
that
with
a
is
Diane
she's
having
some
issues
with
her
computer.
So
we're
gonna
address
that
we
hope
to
have
that
address
in
the
next
week
or
so.
D
We
don't
need
to
do
the
chairman's,
because
we
addressed
him
the
last
last
year,
so
he's
up-to-date
and
then
what
we'll
do
as
the
budget
allows,
we
will
crawl
down
or
walk
down
the
floor
and
gradually
replace
each
machine
and
then
we'll
go
down
each
subsequent
floor
as
the
budget
allows.
What
I
won't
do
is
jump
and
do
them
all
at
once,
because
our
budgets
really
a
repair
budget.
It's
meant
to
first
deal
with
anything
that
could
go
possibly
wrong
in
the
year,
based
on
historical
trends.
D
What
I'm
trying
to
do
is
not
come
back
to
you
and
request
additional
funds,
so
I'm
trying
to
work
it
around
using
the
league,
those
same
funds
and
hopefully,
in
a
year
and
a
half
we
haven't,
had
to
go
outside
the
budget
to
to
do
what
we're
we
need
to
do
to
meet
the
Microsoft
guidelines
for
being
secure
and
make
sure
all
the
rest
of
our
software
works.
What
we're
doing
is
a
combination
of
new
machines.
I
would
be
purchasing
officially
refurbished
ones,
which
there's
a
standard
when
you
do
that.
D
Well,
those
can
be
half
the
price
and
they'll
meet
what
we
need
to
do,
or
in
some
cases,
if
the
machines
we
have
already
here
will
service.
What
I'll
do
is
wipe
them
clean
and
reapply
what
we
need
to
have
that
way.
We
can
dramatically
bring
down
the
cost
and
that
time
I'm
hoping
to
work
inside
the
budget
that
we
have
without
coming
back.
If
I
did
have
to
come
back,
it
should
be
a
nominal
amount
that
we
would
have
to
do.
D
The
next
one
is
the
court
courthouse
again.
The
state's
attorney's
office
is
already
completely
covered,
so
that's
30,
something
pcs.
We
don't
have
to
worry
about
and
they
pay
for
that.
We've
begun
replacing
part
of
the
judges.
We've
already
done,
one
of
the
judges
completely
both
their
chambers
in
their
courtroom,
and
we
also
implemented
the
e-file
er
system
that
you've
heard
them
talk
about.
I
made
the
purchases
for
them,
but
they
paid
for
it.
We
installed
it.
We
installed
the
scanners,
the
firewall
we
they're,
operating
on
a
separate
network
that
we
created
for
that.
D
So
when
the
public
comes
to
use
those
II
filers,
they
go
straight
out
to
the
state
system
or
court
system,
and
then
the
the
circuit
clerk's
people
have
designated
people
who
go
into
the
court
system
from
the
other
and
review
them,
and
that's
how
that
process
basically
works.
What
we
will
begin
for
updating
and
I've
talked
to
this
with
a
Sandi
is
or
the
circuit
clerk
is.
D
That's
not
a
general
fund
request
that
comes
out
of
the
courts
and
circuit
clerk's
computer
funds,
they're
specifically
designated
for
these
type
of
projects
and
talking
to
the
chairman
and
Finance
they're
not
being
borrowed
again
so
they're
reserved
specifically
they'll,
handle
this.
So
we're
gonna
start
addressing
that,
probably
next
month
or
so,
and
we'll
do
a
few
at
a
times,
there's
no
sense
the
bulk
order,
because
there's
only
two
of
us,
we
can
only
put
out
so
many
at
a
time,
but
we'll
have
them
done
by
this
timeline.
D
The
next
one
would
be.
The
building
that
we
need
to
address
is
the
annex
building
that
is
currently
at
least
specifically
housed
by
the
probation
Hartmann,
the
public
Thunder.
The
probation
department
pays
for
their
own
PC,
their
PC
refresh
and
their
servers
out
of
their
own
funds.
We
had
planned
on
starting
that
now
or
next
month,
but
I
believe
they
have
an
agreement
with
the
chairman
of
the
finance
department
to
put
that
off
to
the
summer,
because
we
I
believe
as
an
NA.
D
We
do
use
those
funds
to
borrow
and
pay
back
and
that
actually
helps
us,
because
we
can
only
do
so
many
pcs
at
a
time.
I
was
in
a
rush
to
start
that,
but
we
will
start
there
refresh
in
the
summer
and
hope
to
be
done
with
that
complete
department
by
the
end
of
the
year,
based
on
whether
or
not
funds
are
available
and
time
wants
to
keep
going
forward,
that
the
remaining
Department
and
that
building
would
be.
The
public
defender
will
have
to
discuss
that
who's
going
to
pay.
For
that.
D
That's
gone
over
the
years.
I've
been
here
two
different
ways
at
one
time:
I
paid
for
some
of
them,
but
traditionally
it
came
from
the
judges
money.
When
I
did
it,
it
was
because
they
had
lagged
behind.
Nobody
was
doing
anything
so
I
took
existing
machines,
I
had
updated
them
and
gave
them
to
him
to
make
sure
that
they
weren't
lagging
behind
the
remaining
offices,
and
it
really
hurts
me
as
a
department
if
60%
of
our
calls
are
to
a
department
because
their
hard
work
not
to
come
at
that.
D
That
doesn't
help
me
at
all,
so
we'll
have
to
discuss
it,
but
regardless
we
don't
need
to
start
since
that
departments,
not
that
large,
we'll
wait
2019
to
even
look
at
that
again.
There's
not
that
many
people
there
so
that
shouldn't
be
that
big
of
a
deal
we'll
just
need
to
discuss
who's
gonna
pay
for
those.
Maybe
the
computer
funds
will
pay
for
that.
That's
not
my
call
that'll
be
a
decision
between
I
believe
the
chairman,
the
judge
and
the
circuit
clerk
who's
in
charge.
I,
don't
know
I,
guess
not
that
really
bothers
the.
A
D
Okay
and
hopefully,
by
that
time
by
January
1
2020,
we
will
have
all
machines
that
have
been
refreshed,
updated
operating,
Windows
10,
which
allows
us
to
know
that
the
software
that
we
are
running,
which
is
the
antivirus
anti-spam
and
all
that
is
running
how
its
intended
it
has
to
be
on
Microsoft's
certified
non
end-of-life
operating
systems
and
Windows
7
goes
out
by
January
1.
So
that's
our
long
term
project
in
between
that
we
do
our
normal
servicing,
which
is
everyday,
fixed
printers
replaced
printers
internet
called
or
whatever.
D
A
E
D
Be
careful
how
I
say
this
because
I
don't
want
it
to
sound
like
a
criticism,
it's
there
for
repair,
because
that's
the
size
budget
we
have.
So
what
you
do
is
you.
You
have
funds
available
to
you
based
on
economic
conditions.
Well,
well,
I
would
say,
I'll
tell
you
I
want
more
funds,
that's
not
reality,
so
you
make
the
best
use
of
those
funds
at
one
time.
D
D
We
provide
the
services
to
do
that,
because
you're
on
the
county
network,
we
secure
it
making
sure
everybody's
in
compliance,
the
ones
that
we
mainly
replace
would
be
those
offices
under
you,
the
board
and
or
under
the
administration.
I'm,
not
sure
how
that
is
working
nowadays,
but
that
would
be
my
department
the
fifth
floor.
The
finance
department,
I,
would
say
the
planning
department,
but
they
have
so
many
grants.
They
tend
to
pay
for
all
of
theirs
and
thank
goodness,
and
they
did
that
even
we
were,
though
they're
on
the
way
Delbert.
D
It's
been
very
good
about
securing
funds
for
that,
so
they
pay
for
that.
That
would
include
the
assessor
secert.
The
county
clerk
in
this
building
has
computer
funds
and
there's
been
that
combination
over
the
years
between
them,
paying
for
some
and
covering
some
again
with
if
they
were
tight
and
they
had
machines
running
behind
I
may
take
some
leftover
ones.
We
have
update
that
and
given
it
they're
not
getting
the
best
of
something
but
they're
getting
that,
but
that's
how
that's
worked
it's
a
function
of
this
is
the
money
available
to
you.
E
For
my
own,
just
for
my
own
sanity,
I'm
thinking
that
if,
if
we
know
that
there
is
a
line-item,
there's
computers,
we
do
know
at
some
point
that
they're
going
to
depreciate
them
to
come
out
of
existence.
So
I'm
saying
that
there
should
be
something
in
reserve
to
basically
deal
with
that
down
the
line,
because
we
know
that
we're
gonna
have
to
replace
them
versus
coming
into
a
what
we
call
a
repair,
but
it
when
I'm
in
the
world
repair.
E
Until
it
is
zero
balance
and
we
get
anything
else
out
of
it,
we
can
put
it
back
on
the
books
and
you
know
I'm
just
looking
from
accounting
perspective,
but
to
say
that
when
we
needed
to
move
forward
that
we
got
to
go
into
phases
because
we
really
don't,
we
really
haven't
appropriated
dollars
for
it.
We're
just
gonna
have
to
happen
I
repair.
But
that's
just
this
doesn't
settle.
E
Well,
it's
not
saying
that
in
a
day
ideal
we
live
in
an
ideal
world,
but
in
a
realistic
world
you
do,
you
know,
adjust
for
cost
when
these
things
depreciate
versus
waiting
and
doing
things
and
tears,
because
in
the
computer
age,
unless
it's
changed,
things
change
rapidly,
so
we'll
be
operating
on
dinosaur
by
the
time
we
upgrade
to
what
we
should
have
upgraded
to
ten
years
ago.
Well,.
A
If
I
could-
and
this
while
I
agree
that
that's
what
we
should
be
doing,
we
have
a
four
million
dollar
cash
deficit
in
the
general
fund
and
does
not
allow
us
to
operate.
You
know
we
should
be
pre
paying
our
insurance
for
the
year
to
take
care
of.
You
know
advantages
so
on
interest,
and
things
like
that.
There's
a
lot
of
should
be
doing.
That's
why
we
repair
and
set
it
replaces
because
we
just
don't
have
the
cash
to
even
put
it
in
the
budget.
A
If
we
were
to
budget
for
this,
it's
probably
six
or
seven
people
that
don't
work
here
anymore,
so
I
mean
that's
kind
of
where
we're
at
and
I
I
agree
with
you
that
we
should
be
you're
just
no
way.
We
can
do
it
until
we
get
our
cash
balances
backed
up
to,
even
even
though,
between
all
three
of
them
and
we're
four
million
short
on
the
general
fund
side.
So
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction.
Wait
there
yet
so
I
agree.
D
And
as
you
as
you
see,
even
when
we
do,
if
we
do
get
to
the
point
where
we
do
have
cash
reserves
and
looks
like
we
were
heading
in
that
way,
when
I
took
over
and
I
was
a
long
time
ago,
there
was
going
to
be
a
three-year
refresh.
Well,
I
am,
from
the
private
sector,
been
here
long
enough
now
I'm
from
here
now.
You
would
never
do
it
that
way,
because
those
computers
are
still
good
for
those
next
two
two
years
and
you
go
as
long
as
you
can,
where
they're
still
servicing.
D
It
out
so
the
original
plan
that
was
here
to
me
was
too
aggressive
that
you
would
have
been
redirecting
funds
in
a
way
you
didn't
need
to
so
it'll
be
a
combination.
What
I'm
doing
now,
yes,
I
I,
would
love
for
you
to
appropriate
money,
but
you
know
be
coming
back
to
ask
you
for
funds
that
you
don't
have
it's
a
waste
of
both
of
our
time,
so
I'm
making
use
of.
What's
there
and
I'm
telling
you
I,
believe
I
can
get
there
or
as
close
as
I,
possibly
can
and
believe
me.
D
I
had
jerk
stuff
when
this
was
first
put
to
me
a
few
years
ago,
but
the
reason
that
I
didn't
come
back
and
and
fight
overly
hard
because
it
did
accomplish
another
thing.
First
of
all,
I
can
get
it
done
closely,
get
it
done
there,
but
I
may
go
over
at
some
point,
but
I'm
gonna,
always
let
you
know
what
I
careful
and
I
want
department
heads
to
get
may
hit
me.
D
But
what
we're
doing
right
now
because
we're
addressing
it
per
Department,
it
makes
the
department
heads
that
a
request,
no
species,
take
ownership
of
that
request.
One
thing
happened
when
you
first
did
the
three-year
refresh:
everybody
wanted
everything
now,
whether
they
needed
it
or
not.
Well,
that
can
go
the
other
way
so
now
that
they
need
to
have
something.
D
D
That
allows
you
to
do
your
job
a
little
better,
but
yeah
I
would
rather
have
more
funds,
but
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
I'd
rather
have
I'm,
not
gonna,
come
and
complain
about,
because
I
can
do
what
you
for
the
most
part,
I
can
do
what
you're
asking
me
within
the
funds.
It
is
hard
it
absolutely
it's
hard,
but.
G
D
That's
kind
of
why
we
go
until
the
computer
can't
work,
but
it
isn't
that
the
computer
can't
work
the
biggest
driver.
Now,
that
is
when
that
department
updates
its
software.
It
dictates
the
minimum
standard
standard
that
the
hardware,
and
then
you
know
what
you
have
to
do
this,
because
this
is
making
you
do
that.
Then
you
don't
really
have
a
question
because
you're
in
a
violation
of
your
contract
from
the
get-go
and
that's
never
a
tenable
position
of.
A
H
Good
morning,
I'd,
just
three
quick
updates
on
some
things
that
we've
been
involved
with
here
recently.
The
first
one
is
just
a
reminder:
there's
been
a
lot
of
stories
on
the
news
and
in
the
paper
regarding
this
season's
flu
activity,
it
is
more
severe
than
it
has
been
in
the
past.
I
know
there
were
some
conversations
taking
place
when
I
walked
into
the
meeting
some
stories
on
the
news.
H
I
know:
I
saw
one
last
night
regarding
a
school
up
in
Chicago
that
at
least
half
the
school
or
maybe
even
more
came
down
sick
and
so
they've
closed
the
school,
the
campus
down
for
a
week.
So
it
is
pretty
severe.
It's
it's
going
to
our
office.
It's
going
to
a
lot
of
places,
so
it's
just
a
reminder
that
this
is
a
important
time
as
it's
colder
out
there.
H
You
know
the
schools
and
the
classrooms
in
the
settings
and
a
lot
of
people
are
in
groups
huddled
together,
because
it's
you
can't
be
outside
and
and
separate
ourselves.
So
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
exposure.
That's
going
on
not
everybody's
following
the
sick
rules
as
I
call
them.
So
just
remember,
you
know,
there's
for
your
information,
the
contagious
respiratory
virus.
It
can
be
mild,
it
can
be
severe.
H
Even
if
you
got
a
flu
shot
which
we
recommend
you
get
one
if
you
haven't,
but
even
if
you
got
a
flu
shot,
it
doesn't
mean
you're,
not
gonna
get
the
flu.
You
could
still
get
the
flu,
it's
possible
that
if
you
get
the
flu,
then
your
symptoms
are
less
severe
or
there's
so
many
different
variants
of
the
flu
that
the
shot
may
be
didn't
hit
the
mark,
sometimes
that
happens
and
you're
just
going
to
get
it
typically,
if
you're
a
healthy
individual.
H
It
can
spiral
into
something
a
lot
more
serious
and
then
obviously,
then
we'd
recommend.
You
know.
Individuals
seek
medical
attention,
whether
it's
through
their
local
doctor
or
going
to
the
emergency
room
on
one
particular
night
on
the
news.
I
saw
a
story
where
you
know
they
were
saying
that
the
hospitals
are
overwhelmed
and
you
don't
need
to
go
in
unless
it's
this
and
then
the
next
day
they
were
saying
like
you
need
to
come
into
the
hospital
if
you're
experiencing
the
symptoms.
So
it's
kind
of
confusing
the
message.
That's
coming
out
there.
H
H
We
can't
stress
that
enough,
and
it's
it
just
amazes
me
that
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
good
soldiers
out
there,
that
just
don't
want
to
miss
a
day
for
some
reason
or
another
and
I
understand.
Sometimes
they
need
to
work
or
have
to
work,
and
but
that's
how
we
spread
this
this
illness
more
more
often
than
not
is,
is
because
you've
got
individuals
who
didn't
come
in
and
until
they
get
so
sick,
then
they
have
to
stay
home,
but
then
they've
already
contaminated
their
office
or
their
friends,
or
somebody
like
that.
E
That
was
on
the
news
that
died
of
the
flu.
It
was
a
rare
complication
that
dealt
with
I,
guess
this
virus
attacking
the
heart
and
giving
them
what
it
upended
apparent
like
a
heart
attack
of
something.
This
is
a
rare
case.
But
again
it
happened
in
a
rare
case
is
since
this
virus
has
appears
to
be
aggressive,
then
in
the
past
it
would
be
a
rare
case,
but
with
this
can
this
escalate
I.
H
Don't
know
I
don't
have
a
specific
answer
for
that
I.
You
know
the
the
the
virus
mutates
every
single
time.
You
know.
So,
as
we
all
get
sick
with
one
particular
virus
illness,
we
develop
the
antibodies
for
it,
and
so
then,
if
you
get
hit
with
that
again,
then
typically
you
would
not
have
any
kind
of
a
response
to
that
and
and
so
that
virus
sounds
like
okay,
I
gotta,
kick
this
up
a
notch
and
do
something
different
and
then
that's
what
happens
and
that's
why
there's
a
different
flu
shot
every
year,
it's
not
perfect.
H
Unfortunately,
and
again,
you're
right
I've
seen
a
couple
of
those
stories
where
it's
not
the
typical
individual,
that
you
would
have
expected
to
become
seriously
ill
and
or
die
and,
and
you
know
a
short
period
of
time,
all
of
a
sudden-
it's
it's.
You
know
we're
just
dealing
with
newer
strains
of
bugs.
You
know
every
day.
Is
there.
H
Agree,
that's
not
something
we're
able
to
do
locally,
obviously,
at
the
health
department
or
within
on
hospitals.
However
CDC
is,
is
working
on
that
I
did
see
a
story
recently
where
they're
they're,
you
know
they're
working
on
a
a
flu
virus
shot.
You
know
just
the
master
shot,
the
one
shot
to
rule
them
all
so
to
speak,
and
you
know
I,
don't
know
how
close
we
are
to
that.
If
every
year
we've
got
a
shot,
that's
containing
three
or
four
of
the
you
know
most
common
flus.
H
They
expect
that
season
and-
and
even
then
sometimes
you
know
some
years-
it's
it's
a
it's
right
on
the
mark
and
in
this
particular
year
you
know
it's
kind
of
50/50,
we're
hearing
information
that
you
know,
maybe
not
so
much.
This
shot
was
getting
the
one
that's
out
there.
That
seems
to
be
hitting
everybody,
and
it's
just
why
we're
just
trying
to
it's
another
one
of
these
things
where
we
educate
people,
it's
kind
of
like
wear
your
seatbelt,
don't
drink
and
drive,
we
can.
We
can
preach
it,
and
sometimes
people
are
listening
and
sometimes
they're.
H
E
H
We
at
the
Health
Department
we
communicate
with
the
school
nurses
and
the
offices,
you
know
trying
to
track
excessive
absenteeism
and-
and
you
know
what
is
the
cause
of
that
and
then
obviously
then
the
schools
are.
We
can
provide
them
the
education
and
then
they
would
have
to
take
whatever
action
they
deem
necessary
in
regards
to
you
know:
cleaning
sanitizing,
how
much
of
a
population
is
affected
at
that
time
and
and
what
they
would
need
to
do
now
locally
I,
don't
know
that
we've
had
anyone
that
excessive
that
they've
needed
to
close
this
story.
I
A
Well,
I
appreciate
the
updates.
You
know
on
this.
This
type
of
thing
you
know
I
always
try
to
try
to
temper
that
with
what
what
are
we
doing
on
the
county
level
and
what
actions
would
you
need
the
board
to
take
to
further
support
that
and
I
guess,
that's
where
I
mom,
you
know
I
always
want
to
kind
of
bring
that
back
to
the
discussion
point
of
what's
going
on
what
are
we
doing
with
the
schools?
A
A
Don't
know
how
the
board
feels
about
that
stuff,
but
you
know
we
kind
of
know
the
rules
on
what
to
do
and
what
not
to
do,
but
it's
more
along
the
lines
of
what
resources
of
the
county
deploy.
So
what
our
concessions
that
constituents
say,
you
know
what
are
we
doing
in
the
schools
or
what
are
we
doing
for
this
and
then
the
other?
We
can
at
least
tell
them
and
be
informed.
You.
H
Know
one
of
the
things
you
know,
one
of
the
the
third
thing
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
a
negative
aspect
of
social
media.
However,
the
the
flip
side
to
that
would
be
the
positive
effects
and
you
know
if
you
haven't
or
have
and
haven't
done
it.
You
know
something
that
we're.
You
know
social
media.
Everyone
almost
has
their
own
face
page
now
the
health
department
has
face
page
county
board.
Schools
do
so.
H
If
you
like
the
health
department's
face
page,
you
know
we
put
information
on
their
education
regarding
West
Nile
virus,
for
example
the
flu
for
example,
and
and
so,
if
those
things
pop
up
on
your
your
face
pages
you're
looking
at
it,
you
know
then
share
that
with
your
group
of
friends,
you
know
it
within
your
phone
and
that
that
spreads
out
the
information
more.
So
then,
even
you
know
in
terms
of
the
numbers,
I
believe
you
know
even
more
than
a
reading
the
paper
or
listening
to
the
radio.
H
So
that
was
the
traditional
way
we
got
information
out
in
the
past,
but
now
everyone's
looking
at
their
phone.
So
that's
the
the
quickest
and
best
way
to
get
some
of
that
information
out
and-
and
so
that's
that's
the
quick
and
easy
way
to
do
it
and
then
just
you
know
we'll
I'll
continue
to
push
and
press
when
things
come
up.
You
know,
West
Nile
virus
is
a
quick
example
again
last
year
we
we
present
that
information
every
year.
It's
warm
wear,
long,
sleeves
and
you're
like.
Why
are
you
telling
me
wear
long
sleeves?
H
It's
95
degrees
outside.
Well,
because
the
mosquitos
are
biting.
We
had
a
death
last
year,
unfortunately
in
another
human
case,
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
and-
and
you
know
when,
when
it
hits
closer
to
home,
my
wife
came
down
sick
with
the
flu
last
night,
so
so
now
I'm
dealing
with
it
personally
and
she
didn't
get.
She
ended
shot.
So,
although
I'm
here
right
and
I'm
not
at
home
taking
care
of
her
so
but
no
it's,
it
needs
to
be
taken
seriously
because
you
have
to
monitor.
You
know
these
symptoms
before
it.
H
You
know
typically
there's
a
fever
involved,
and
so
if
it
becomes
a
really
high
fever,
then
that's
when
you
need
to
get
aggressive
with
it
and
maybe
to
call
your
doctor
if
you're
taking
them
the
tylenol,
for
example-
and
it's
not
knocking
that
fever
down,
then
there
could
be
something
more
aggressive
going
on
and
if
there's
a
condition
or
a
existing
health
condition,
it
can
exacerbate.
I
think
that's
the
word
that
that
and
and
then
create
a
third
issue.
That's
it's
even
more
dangerous
for
the
individual.
A
H
Right
that
was
the
first
one.
Second
item
was
just
and
there's
a
third
last
Tuesday
night.
We
had
that
second
form
through
the
opioid
grant,
where
we
had
the
guest
speaker
that
we
had
come
in
to
talk
about
his
life
story.
Tim
Ryan,
you
know
the
talk.
The
name
of
his
talk
was
from
dope
to
hope.
One
of
the
benefits
of
him
coming
was
he's
written
a
book
which
is
you
know,
basically
what
he
presented,
that
life
story
and-
and
he
presented
that
book
to
everybody
that
came
and
hear
him
talk.
H
So
he
spoke
at
the
sheriff's
luncheon
meeting
on
Tuesday
afternoon,
and
then
he
did
two
presentations
which
I
got
to
see
one
of
them,
which
was
very
impressive
emotional.
I
opening
for
me,
spoke
to
about
15
inmates
in
the
detention
center,
many
of
them
the
federal
detainees
and
and
they
opened
up.
You
know
they
were
asked
questions
and
they
opened
up
a
little
bit
about
their
personal
history
and
it
put
a
it
put
a
human
ask
for
me
story
with
with
individuals
that
you
know
from
the
outside.
H
Just
oh
there's
guys
in
jail
girls
in
jail.
You
know
they
made
a
bad
choice,
so
there
they're
gonna
get
theirs,
but
they
you
know
they
had
some
personalized.
They
made
some
bad
choices,
I
get
it,
but
you
know
their
stories
are
like
his
story
and-
and
you
know,
he's
been
in
jail
and
and
he
can
connect
with
them-
and
hopefully
that's
a
good
start.
H
So
this
grant
that
that
we
have
now
and
I'm
working
with
the
coroner
and
a
hospital
on
is,
is
helping
to
train
our
first
responders
and
and
get
the
narcan
out
there
so
that
we
can
save
lives.
But
the
big
message
that
came
out
of
all
that
last
week
was
that
there's
there's
not
much
on
the
back
side
after
we
pick
somebody
I,
pat
him
on
the
back
and
say:
okay
you're,
we
saved
your
life,
now
go
down
the
road
and
you
know
good
luck.
H
We
don't
have
much
there,
and
so
that's
where
we're
looking
for
additional
grants
and
funding
that
we
can
get
some
treatment
centers.
You
know
detox
beds
and
things
like
that
in
the
community
for
that
situation
and
then
get
them
in
a
position
where
maybe
they
can
be
reintroduced
back
into
society
and
turn
out
like
he
did.
You
know
so
he's
a
recovering
addict.
H
Just
like
a
lot
of
us
are
recovering
from
not
smoking,
not
drinking
whatever
our
little
addictions
are
that
we
deal
with
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
that's
no
different
than
what
he
is
and
a
lot
of
these
inmates
are
dealing
with.
So
250
seats
were
available
in
that
auditorium
and
every
one
of
them
was
full.
So
we
were
very
excited
that
the
turnout
was
as
good
as
it
was.
H
He
had
a
great
message
and
I
feel,
and
the
journal
did
a
great
story
over
the
weekend
and
in
regards
to
that
they
did
two
stories
on
his
presentation,
and
then
they
asked
him.
You
know
they
did
an
interview
with
him.
Specifically,
we
may
try
to
get
him
back.
He
can
tailor
his
talk
a
couple
of
different
avenues,
so
obviously
the
way
he
presented
to
the
individuals
at
the
auditorium
at
KCC
was
a
lot
more
toned
down
than
what
I
heard
him
talking
in
the
jail
with
the
inmates.
H
He
can
tailor
his
language
to
the
audience,
but
you
know
again,
very
educational
and
and
I
think
they
were
very
appreciative
there.
There
was
a
number
of
a
lot
of
them,
got
up
and
shook
our
hands
as
we
were
done
and
walked
out
of
there.
The
inmates
I'm
speaking
of
thanking
us
for
coming
in
there
and
and
at
least
listening
to
him,
they
felt
like
somebody,
was
listening
to
them.
J
H
I
can't
remember
exactly
how
many,
but
they
had
more
deaths
than
we
did
last
year,
but
based
on
their
population
they're
at
15
per
100,000
people
so
were
were
three
times
more
likely
to
have
somebody
die
from
an
opioid
overdose
in
Kankakee,
County
or
plane.
Doesn't
it
but
we'll
County
is,
and
the
president
mentioned
us,
then
you
know
when
he
signed
a
bill
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
in
relation
to
equipment
that
border
crossing
guards
I
think
we're
going
to
be
able
to
have
to
help
trace.
H
H
A
May
remember,
when
I
asked
this
board
to
authorize
me
to
file
suit
against
the
opioid
manufacturers,
it
wasn't
just
to
deal
with
the
human
cost,
which
is
just
tragic
it's
to
deal
with
the
cost
of
prevention,
the
autopsies
we
have
to
find.
So
we
can
get
a
fingerprint
of
the
actual
strain
if
you
will
of
the
drug
that
they're
using.
So
we
can
go
after
the
distributors,
it's
all
the
law
enforcement.
It's
everything
else,
that's
associated
with
this.
A
So
when
we
filed
suit
and
I
believe
we
were
the
first,
everybody
else
has
come
on
board
in
the
state
sense
us,
but
that's
why
it
was
done.
It
wasn't
just
to
you
know,
recover
the
cost
of
what
mr.
Gastner
is
doing,
which
is
the
unfortunate
end
of
the
road
for
a
lot
of
people
that
this
gets
ahold
of
it's
the
prevention
part.
How
do
we
keep
them
from
going
there?
A
You
know
what,
when
people
have
the
narcan
save,
you
know,
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
know
how
many
of
those
actually
there
two
days
later,
we're
back
out
doing
it
again.
You
know,
and
it's
just
over
and
over
again
saved
same-day
yeah.
You
know
so
it's
it's.
You
know
the
one
that
when
the
board
took
that
action,
you
know
and-
and
we
asked
mr.
wrote
a
file
on
our
behalf.
It
was
for
those
reasons,
and
it's
not
gonna
stop
this.
A
K
H
H
So
we
could
go
into
a
school
and
talk
to
teachers,
coaches,
you
know
administration
and
then
let
them
trickle
that
down
to
the
students,
because
then
it
wouldn't
be
us
doing
it
per
se
and
then
and
then
get
them
to
narcan
to
potentially
have
on
the
site.
So
so
we
are
looking
at
that
we're
the
Health
Department
and
the
coroner's
office
also
I,
believe
we
collaborate
with
a
number
of
organizations
within
the
county,
so
I'm
involved
with
pledge
for
life.
H
So
I
have
a
couple
of
other
individuals
at
the
health
department
involved
for
pledge
for
life.
They
are
focusing
on.
You
know
drug
use,
so
they
have
a
subcommittee
and
and
and
we're
working
with
them,
and
they
may
be
looking
for
a
grant.
You
know
that
could
supplement
this
and
and
then
possibly
get
into
the
schools
themselves
to
provide
this
education.
So
we
are
looking
at
at
different
ways
to
spread
those
fingers
out.
H
You
know
this
particular
grant
a
year
ago
when,
when
it
was
proposed-
and
then
we
got
it
came
at
a
time
when
the
county
was
you
know
when,
when
mr.
Gastner
was
you
know,
dead
broke
with
donations
that
had
come
in
for
him
to
be
able
to
get
to
narcan
and
do
this
training,
so
it
at
least
got
us
going
there
and
and
I
recognize
as
I've
learned
more
that
it
doesn't
solve
the
whole
problem.
There's
it's
a
way
bigger.
H
You
know
issue
and
there's
so
many
components
to
how
you
can
try
to
address
this
and
where
to
address
it,
that
this
grant
our
grant
doesn't
do
but
we're
starting
to
look-
and
you
know
the
president's
talking
about
it.
It
is
an
issue
not
just
here
but
all
across
the
country,
and
that
being
the
case,
we're
gonna
find
out
here.
Real
quick
is
talk
cheaper,
as
are
they
going
to
start,
throwing
some
money
and
grants
out
at
agencies
that
they
can
apply
for
to
try
to
address
and
locally?
My.
K
H
So
wanted
him
to
be
able
to
go
to
a
school,
but
we
didn't
know
if
you
know
that
the
individuals
who
supervised
our
grant
would
have
said.
No.
You
can't
do
that
because
it's
a
school,
those
who
you
don't
your
audience
is
18
years
and
younger
kind
of
a
thing
now
granted
we
didn't
do
a
poll
of
those
were
mostly
adults
but
I
know
there
were
some
end
of
it.
H
There
were
a
lot
of
KCC
students
there
and
that
helped,
but
you
know
yes,
we
do
need
to
get
in
to
the
high
schools
and
and
I
know
that
with
pledge
for
life,
but
they
do
have.
You
know
a
substance
abuse
committee
program
and
they
do
they
do
a
lot
of
that
now,
specifically
along
the
opioid
use,
not
so
much
yet.
You
know
it's
mostly
marijuana,
but
mr.
Ryan
indicated
that
you
ask
almost
any
any
opioid
addict.
H
H
Are
not
what
you're
getting
today
they're
they're
laced
with
all
kinds
of
stuff
today
that
make
it
far
more
worse
and
you
know
when
kids
are
going
out
and
drinking
at
a
party
than
their
inhibitions
are
down,
and
then
somebody
walks
up
and
says
here.
Try
this
and
they're
not
capable
of
saying
no
and
and
if
it's,
if
it's
the
wrong
combination
of
something
they
they
could
be
hooked
and
then
that's
all
it
takes.
Did.
A
Was
there
any
indication
of
I
know?
Mr.
gasner
has
talked
about
like
the
average
age
of
the
person,
who's
overdosing
and
passing
away,
and
that
is
far
above
the
age
of
a
high
school
student
and
while
I
know
that
it
is
important
to
get
to
talk
to
the
high
school
students
about
opioids
and
the
dangers,
I
would
prefer
to
see
our
medical
community
be
educated
on
what
to
prescribe
and
what
not
to
prescribe
is
I.
Think
the
gateway
drug
to
heroin
is
opioid
pills
being
dispensed
to.
A
People
like
candy
right
from
the
medic
community,
who
I'm
not
going
to
disparage,
but
that's
all
that
they're
doing
is
they're,
throwing
pills
to
be
trained.
That's
what
our
lawsuit
centers
on
and
I
wanted
to
straw.
The
distinction
that
the
true
gateway
drug
to
heroin
has
been
opioids
that
are
prescribed
by
the
medical
community.
Not
marijuana,
I
think
that
that's
kind
of
a
a
missed
connection
there
in
my
opinion
and
I,
think
the
data
would
support.
Then
mr.
Berg
Thank.
J
You
mr.
chairman
I
believe
in
criminal
justice
committee
about
a
year
or
so
ago.
Mr.
guest
Guster
said
43
years
old
was
approximately
the
age
and
a
lot
of
them
would
due
to
the
fact
that
they
would
have
surgery,
have
injuries
and
would
get
prescriptions
of
painkillers,
and
that
would
be
what
would
lead
them.
That
prescription
runs
out.
They
get
hooked
on
oxy
cotton
heroin
is
cheap,
diseased
accessible
and
that's
well,
it's
not
your
typical
teenage
drug.
J
E
H
Right,
that's
a
good
point
and
I
and
I
know
within
our
committees
that
we're
talking
about
the
opioid
Coalition
group.
All
of
these
are
being
discussed
and
trying
to
educate.
So
you
know
the
local
police
presence
through
the
coroner
with
pledged
for
life.
You
know
we
do
have
that
take
back
day.
We
do
try
to
get
a
little.
You
know
we're
trying
to
get
information
out
there
to
the
public.
You
know
about.
H
You
know
these
are
the
kinds
of
things
you
know
that
they're
not
realizing
that
maybe
okay,
the
medicines
in
my
medicine
cabinet
and
they
don't
think
that
someone's
going
to
come
in
maybe
switch
out
the
medicine
for
Tylenol
and
take
the
opioid
prescription
the
harder
drug
and-
and
you
know,
then
you
just
come
in
you
open.
You
take
a
pill,
you
think
you're
taking
your
medicine
and
you're,
not
just
like
alcohol,
you
pour
it
out
and
pillow
water
and
there
nobody's
none.
I
heard
people
do
that.
H
But
yeah
education
through
the
students
through
the
parents
through
the
through
the
doctors,
I
know
that
you
know
al
Ponton
with
Riverside
on
our
committee
is
talking
about
they're,
trying
to
and
have
implemented
beginning
to
process
who's
prescribing
what
in
the
community
so
that
if
they
do
see,
somebody
who
you
know
I've
heard
stories
of
individuals
who
got
their
teeth,
cleaned
and
got
a
prescription
30-day
supply.
That's
just
not
necessary!.
H
More
thing,
I
just
was
in
the
paper
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
that
honor
about
January
8th
there
was
a
list
circulated
on
social
media.
This
is
a
negative
aspect
of
social
media
purporting
to
disclose
that
there
were
HIV
and
or
herpes
cases
of
various
individuals
and
that
the
information
came
from
the
health
department.
Mr.
row
immediately
contact
to
me
once
he
found
out
someone
had
notified
him
who
was
on
the
list
and
so
they
reached
out
to
say
hey.
This
is
not
true
and
he
was
in
asking
me.
H
You
know
to
investigate
look
into
this
this
matter.
So
we
did
it's
not
our
list.
We
don't
create
any
kind
of
a
list.
One
of
the
stat
one
of
the
you
know.
Herpes,
is
not
something
that
we
typically
it
can
be
tested
for,
but
it's
not
tested
at
the
Health
Department
as
a
routine
test,
and
we
don't
keep
that
kind
of
a
list.
So
it
was
a
made-up
list
that
appears
to
have
come
from
somebody's
friend
list.
H
If
those
are
his
friends,
I
wouldn't
want
to
be
his
enemies
and
and
then
just
put
it
out
there
as
a
joke
and
then
obviously,
then
some
of
those
friends
saw
it
and
spread
it
to
their
friends,
and
so
it
was
getting
out
there
that
way.
So
it
was
not
a
true
breach
of
any
medical
information
that
we
have
or
would
have
had
you
know
we,
and
so
we
just
we
put
out
the
press
release
in
conjunction
with
Jim
ro
state's
attorney's
office
and
health
department
that
we
take
seriously.
H
You
know
our
patients
information,
we
want
them
to
be
able
to
trust
us
when
they
come
in
that
that
what
services
they're
getting
whatever
those
are,
the
that
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
on
the
up-and-up
that
we're
not
going
to
get
any
of
that
kind
of
information
out
there
very
quickly.
Apparently,
when
the
news
got
out
about
this
press
release,
the
posting
started
disappearing,
probably
because
they
were
trying
to
erase
their
traces
I
hope.
We've
not
been
contacted
that
they
found
anybody.
H
We
may
not
ever
find
who
the
originator
was,
but
it
does
seem
to
have
come
out,
but
it
just
goes
to
show
the
negative
impact.
Sometimes,
if
somebody
doesn't
like
you,
you
know
they
can
put
it
on
Facebook
and
and
by
gosh.
If
it's
on
Facebook,
it's
true
right,
that's
what
everybody
says
so
and
then
they
spread
it
and
then,
even
if
you
put
out
the
argument
that
it's
not
true,
they
don't
believe
you
now
and
you
get
into
this
this
war.
So
we
don't.
We
don't
get
into
that,
but
I
want
to
appreciate.
H
You
know
thanks
state's
attorney
for
for
their
help
in
this
matter
and
then
just
assure
everybody.
This
was
not
our
list,
it
was
not
any
of
our
employees.
We
don't
have
this
kind
of
information.
The
STD
information
that
we
do
work
with
is
handled
in
a
very
much
more
secure
fashion
than
something
like
this.
You
know
getting
out
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
case.
There
were
any
questions
or
if
anyone
had
said
anything
to
you
and
in
the
meantime
that
they
were
concerned
or
had
any
thoughts.
Good
question.
A
H
A
Thank
you.
We're
going
move
down
to
schools,
dr.
Gregg
Murphy,
not
here
today,
but
I
do
have
his
quarterly
report
a
demotion
to
put
on
file
mr.
OHS
mr.
Vickery,
a
second
all
those
in
favor
those
opposed
cv.
Ac!
No
one
here
to
report.
There
was
a
meeting
tonight.
You
may
have
heard
things:
personnel
HR
issues,
none
today
under
administrative
resignations,
appointments
and
reappointments
I'll
go
ahead.
Read
these
into
record,
then
take
a
a
motion
to
combine
and
approve
at
the
end
of
that.
A
The
resignation
of
William
Gilmore
from
the
Kankakee
County
Public
Building
Commission
appointment
of
Ralph
is
a
mercier,
its
mercer
to

appeals,
he's
the
architect

dave
tyson

and
the
Board

As

engineer
reappointment
of
Janine
Wolfe
to
the
emergency
telephone
system
board,
9-1-1
appointment
of
Patrick
Mick,
Mick
Connell.
A
So
now
you
pronounce
that
Patrick
McConnell
the
keiki
County
Board
el
reappointment
of
Loretto
colleague
to
the
Kankakee
County
Regional
Planning
Commission
motion
to
combine
and
approve
mr.
leer.
Second,
mr.
Washington,
all
those
in
favor
those
opposed
motion
carries
openings
to
openings
on
the
Kankakee
County
PBC.
There
was
one
opening
that
was
vacant
another
created
by
mr
Gilmore.
A
We
have
one
candidate
in
house,
so
if
anybody
knows
anybody
that
would
be
interested
in
joining
that
Commission,
it's
a
you
know
not
very
active
right
now,
but
they're,
the
ones
who
floated
the
bonds
for
the
jail
and
things
so
public.
An
improvement
infrastructure
projects
buildings.
This
should
I,
say
one
opening
on
the
Kankakee
County
Regional
Planning
Commission,
for
openings
on
the
Board
of
Examiners
and
appeals,
one
opening
on
the
Joe
Venice

one
opening
on
the
manteno
drainage
district
number
three,
and
one
opening
on
the
manteno
number:
nine
drainage
district,
other
business.
A
Moving
on
to
the
first
item
in
your
packet,
I'll
direct
you
to
first
to
page
four
of
that.
Yes,
it's
let's
get
to
it
under
new
business.
If
we
would,
if
they'd
be
appropriate
at
that
time.
Well,
we
I
got
people
in
the
back
that
have
some
things
that
they
I
know.
You
want
to
go,
oh
wait!
A
minute
you
do
have
to
leave
at
ten.
Do
you
not
there's
a
board?
Okay
if
I,
amend
and
I'd
allow
some
new
business
at
this
time
motion
to
approve
mr.
legette?
Second,
mr.
L
L
L
All
the
counties
and
cities
have
three
inspectors:
the
electrical
inspector
plumbing,
a
spectral
and
mechanical
expected
and
I
I
think
we
need
to
have
an
HVAC
guy
on
this
board,
because
the
rest
of
these
people
are
are
in
their
own
disciplines
and
not
in
the
discipline
of
HVAC
electricians
and
plumbers
have
their
own
disciplines
and
in
the
HVAC
we
have
our
own
disciplines
we
have
to.
In
the
mechanical
code.
L
A
A
A
That's
under
new
business
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
handle
this,
because
we
can't
necessarily
make
a
motion.
It's
not
on
the
agenda,
as
I
saw
mr.
Quinn
in
the
back
stand
up
and
look
at
our
agenda.
His
silence
is
deafening
on
this
issue.
So
let
me
think
about
this
a
minute
here.
Do
you
have
a
suggestion?
Mr.
leer?
Yes,.
B
A
L
L
A
A
M
A
There,
okay
amendment
to
exhibit
a
of
the
economic
alliance
agreement
before
we
get
going
a
motion
to
approve
this
mr.
Washington,
a
second
mr.
Vickery
just
for
explanations
sake.
It
came
to
our
attention
that
we
needed
to
amend
some
of
the
language.
It
was
actually
through
a
FOIA
because
we
had
somebody
take
a
look
and
we
never
actually
stuck
by
the
letter
of
this
agreement
on
the
appointment.
The
the
replacement
for
mr.
van
mil
is
the
chairman
of
the
economic
alliance.
A
Well,
the
the
Alliance
hired
the
person
that
went
to
committee,
it
was
approved
and
it
never
went
to
the
full
board.
This
was
back
in
last
administration
and
never
came
back
here,
so
we
had
to
figure
out
okay.
First
of
all,
we
got
to
clean
this
up
and
it
took
us.
It
gave
us
an
opportunity
to
look
through
the
rest
of
the
agreement
and
then
redress
with
the
Alliance
some
of
the
things
that
needed
to
be
changed
in
the
agreement,
because
times
have
changed
the
board
member
makeup
of
the
Alliance
has
changed.
A
So
what
we
did
was
is
we
sat
down
mr.
Vickery
and
I
met
with
the
chairman
of
the
Alliance
and
the
board
chair,
obviously,
and
and
we
sat
down
and
the
CEO
mr.
Nugent-
and
we
talked
about
this
and
there's
a
few
changes
in
here-
that
we
have
to
do
one
of
the
insistence
of
the
state's
attorney's
office
and
that's
what's
on
page
four
I'll
bring
that
to
your
attention.
This
was
one
of
those
that
we
didn't
know
about
that
we
have
to
fix,
it
has
to
do
with
the
term.
A
Boards
can't
be
bound
and
we
then
the
original
agreement.
We
didn't
reauthorize
this
every
two
years,
as
the
case
may
be,
as
the
board
changed.
So
we
need
to
reauthorize
this
every
two
years,
so
we're
gonna
put
it
on
our
calendar
to
do
this.
Okay,
that's
just
a
more
of
a
functional
thing.
We
can't
just
have
it
be
evergreen,
it
has
to
come
back
so
you'll
see
in
there.
That's
basically,
that's
the
only
change
at
the
top
part.
We're
gonna
reauthorize
it
every
two
years.
A
A
That's
why
this
section
has
been
amended
was
because
we
we
still
have
to
have
the
oversight
when
this
started
the
county.
Let's
say
around
$200,000
a
year
to
get
it
going
is
what
we
put
into
it,
and
it's
been
since
you
know
we
have
lack
of
funds,
they
have
more
able
to
sustain
through
private
donations
and
what
they're
doing
as
far
as
funding
from
the
EDA
side
of
things
and
the
board
membership
has
changed.
A
The
county
has
backed
off
on
money
and
reduced
the
amount
of
board
members
they
have,
and
so
we're
looking
at
a
situation
where
there's
still
county
employees,
we
do
need
to
be
able
to
approve.
After
you
know,
the
the
hiring
committee,
if
you
will,
brings
a
candidate
forward.
So
that's
what
we
have
in
principle:
agreement
with
the
Alliance
that
the
county
board
chairman
or
his
or
her
designee
will
be
part
of
the
hiring
committee.
A
That
brings
a
candidate
forward
of
anybody
who
wants
to
work
at
the
Alliance
that
will
be
a
county,
employee
and
so
by
default.
There
would
be
anybody
who
has
access
to
County
benefits.
Does
that
make
sense?
So
we
will
still
have
that
that
last
stamp
of
approval
and
we'll
be
involved
in
the
hiring
process,
but
since
we're
not
providing
a
lion's
share
of
the
funds
anymore,
and
since
we
don't
have
one
have
direct
oversight
over
the
day-to-day
operations
that
that's
all
we
are,
and
it's
it's
basically
that
last
stamp.
A
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
board
knows
why
this
is
is
happening
because
we
used
to
have
an
actual
department
head
running
the
Alliance.
Now
I
mean
it's
a
little
less
formal
and
we
have
less
money
that
we're
contributing.
We
still
want
to
contribute
something.
So
is
there
any
questions
about
that?
A
Okay,
so
I
don't
expect
to
hear
anything
back,
but
if
I
do
they'll
be
no
any
changes
noted
to
the
full
board
and
we'll
discuss
amendments
at
that
time.
Make
sense
so
I
have
a
motion,
since
this
will
at
some
point
be
spending
money.
We'll
go
with
a
roll
call
vote
on
this
because
it
does
involve
higher
mindful
contributions.
C
A
A
A
Okay,
it's
it's.
Do
we
don't
have
a
resolution
yet
actually
we're
gonna
create
that
Graham
are
we?
Is
this
something
that
we're
gonna
need
a
resolute?
We
need
a
resolution
from
the
board
yeah.
This
is
much
like
when
we
voted
to
close
the
treasurer's
office.
I,
don't
know
when
you're
in
that
committee
I
mentioned
that
we
we
had
to
check
it
out.
It
has
to
be
an
action
of
the
board
in
order
to
alter
the
hours
of
those
type
of
constitutional
offices.
F
Had
a
two
years
ago
we
had
asked
the
committee
for
the
same
thing
and
I:
don't
know
that
there
was
a
resolution
that
took
place.
I
believe
that
it
was
just
an
informal
nod
of
the
head.
I
think
I
would
prefer
to
have
a
resolution
that
authorizes
us
on
Election
Day.
You
know
we're
gonna,
be
swamped
with
phone
calls
from
judges
and
voters
and
and
staff
will
be
out
at
polling
places.
So
we
will
be.
F
A
A
F
A
I
A
A
G
F
We
we
had
some
issues
Friday
shortly
before
noon.
I
received
a
call
from
the
executive
director
of
the
the
Park
District
to.
Let
me
know
that,
while
she
was
doing
inspections
of
the
buildings,
she
was
at
Pioneer
Park
and
had
seen
that
the
water
pipes
had
frozen
and
ruptured
and
there's
extensive
water
damage
in
the
building
at
Pioneer
Park.
She
told
me
that
there
was
standing
water
and
all
of
the
light
fixtures.
F
She
told
me
she
that
she
was
almost
a
hundred
percent
certain
that
it
would
not
be
usable
as
a
polling
place
not
only
for
the
primary
election,
but
depending
on
how
much
damage
there
was.
It
might
not
be
available
again,
so
I
had
spoken
to
the
Chairman
and
when
we
got
it
on
the
agenda
for
this
meeting,
I
spoke
to
mr.
Washington
I.
Believe
that
why
they
think
we
can
do
for
the
primary
election
is
move
the
voters
that
were
at
Pioneer
Park
over
to
the
Housing
Authority.
F
A
F
F
Without
knowing
what
the
damages
at
that
building
and
how
long
the
repair
to
that
damage
will
be,
I
can't
speak
beyond
the
primary
election.
What
this
does
is
does
give
me
some
time
post
primary.
If
we
can
find
out,
you
know
what
the
status
that
building
will
be
to
find
another
location
within
in
that
precinct.
E
A
A
solution
ready,
so
we
just
secure
also
we
would
went
to
Community
Services
next
month,
but
that
was
unacceptable.
So
brothers,
we
probably
would
have
went
to
full
board
first
without
any
committee
work.
So
that's
why
we're
here
all
right,
yeah
I!
Guess
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second?
Is
it
correct
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
those
opposed?
Thank
you
Ernie.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
under
new
business.
The
first
item
is
the
extension
of
the
intergovernmental
agreement
for
the
promotion
of
tourism
in
your
packet,
while
and
I
believe
that
was
the
2013
version.
A
A
A
31St
of
2018,
so
what
this
does
is
allow
us
to
tread
water
under
the
current
agreement
and
and
I'm
asking
the
board
to
move
this
forward,
because
that
will
allow
us
to
talk
about
what
the
CVB
and
and
their
representative
representation.
Sorry
to
tell
you
short.
They
have
a
representative
and
representation
here
today,
but
we
want
to
at
least
be
able
to
not
have
to
you
know
in
an
emergency
react,
so
we
don't
want
this
one
to
expire.
So
unless
there's
any
questions,
I'll
take
a
motion
not
yet
motion.
Mr.
A
Siro,
a
second
to
extend
mr.
Washington
until
October
31st,
and
it
could
be
sooner-
we
may
come
up
with
an
agreement,
hopefully
before
then,
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
move
right
into
that.
So
second,
was
by
mr.
Washington,
since
we're
not
spending
money,
we're
just
transferring
tax
money.
Mr.
leer
question:
okay,.
B
N
A
J
A
We
discussed
last
time
no
we're
gonna
talk
about
what
they're
proposing
out
of
this
I
wanted
to
make
it
clean
just
kind
of
push
this
out,
so
we
have
an
agreement
in
place
and
then
start
talking
about
the
future.
Okay,
any
other
questions.
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
mr.
Quinn
we're
not
actually
spending
money
it's
pass
through.
We
can
go
voice
phone,
all
those
in
favor.
Those
opposed
all
right.
A
So
now,
on
the
new
side
of
things,
many
people
got
got
a
letter
kind
of
explaining
there's
been
kind
of
a
shift
a
little
bit
on
what
the
CVP
is
proposing.
So
with
that,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
either
ask
questions
Stacey's
here
from
the
CVB
and
their
representative
representation,
so
we'd
be
able
to
hear
what
they're
talking
about
and
then,
as
we
move
forward
in
the
structure
here,
it
would
come
back
to
this
committee
we're
not
going
to
vote
on
anything
today.
A
This
is
something
about
what
we're
working
towards,
because
I
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea.
We've
had
some
conversations,
things
have
kind
of
come
more
around
to
what
I
think
this
board
might
want
to
entertain
us.
Like
our
other
agreements,
we
have
with
the
Alliance
and
the
ETS
b
9-1-1
board,
so
I
wanted
at
least
bring
that
to
the
attention
here
and
then
we'll
come,
come
back
and
ask
questions
and
do
whatever
so
please.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
O
Chairman
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
each
of
you
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
come
to
make
a
formal
presentation
today.
I
know
each
of
you
received
the
communication
from
our
attorney
mr.
Kane
car,
and
now
it's
a
lot
of
content
to
digest,
but
I
promise
we'll
try
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
and
kind
of
work
through
it.
O
O
O
I
do
ask
that
we
consider
the
proposal
that
mr.
Kane
cars
put
together
at
least
to
have
a
healthy
conversation
about
us,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
be
able
to
have
this
opportunity
to
do
that
today.
Answer
any
questions
that
you
guys
may
have
and
then
in
the
end
hopefully
be
able
to
offer
a
tool
to
these
potential
employees
in
the
future,
as
well
as
the
employees
of
the
CVB.
Currently
so,
with
that
I
give
you
mr.
King
car.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
You
chairman
commissioners,
first
like
I,
said
well
I
want
to
thank
you
for
extending
the
term
of
the
existing
inter-government
agreement.
I
think
that
no
matter
which
way
we
decide
to
go
on
this
thing,
it's
important
that
we
have
the
time
to
discuss
the
issues
in
ultimately
make
an
informed
decision,
so
is
for
the
the
proposed
intergovernmental
agreement.
I
don't
want
to
talk
too
much
about
the
specific
text
of
that.
N
That
is
there
rather
than
the
the
objectives
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish
in
the
vehicles
we
proposed
to
AQAP's
long
ago,
the
units
of
government
that
our
parties
to
the
IGA
realized
that
the
benefits
of
tourism
don't
really
know
a
territorial
boundary,
and
rather
than
cannibalize
each
other's
tax
revenue.
With
a
patchwork
of
tourism
schemes,
they
decided
to
combine
their
efforts
to
reach
a
mutual
and
that
was
beneficial
to
them.
All
the
expedient
to
they
had
end
was
a
contract
whereby
Kankakee
County
would
lovey-lovey
a
hotel
tax
collected
in
lieu
of
the
individual
municipalities.
N
Today,
the
CBeebies
operations
are
approximately
90%
funded
with
hotel
tax
revenue.
The
10%
came
as
Stacey
said,
from
state
grant
funds
I,
don't
think
it's
controversial,
given
the
funding
ratios
that
we
proposed
to
make
the
CVB
an
instrumentality
of
the
units
of
government
that
fund
its
operations
into
that
end,
I'm
talking
about
there
being
no
private
memberships
or
private
interests
in
that
entity.
So
it
would
be
a
public
entity
under
the
law
and
generally,
that
would
be
enough
to
allow
us
well
allow
participation
in
I
am
rep.
N
However,
I
remember
smart
enough
to
know
that
in
any
be
created
by
contracts
can
be
dissolved
by
the
termination
of
that
relationship
and
therefore,
if
it
were
to
occur,
there
would
be
no
entity
to
subsidize
any
unfunded
liability
that
accrued
during
the
CBeebies
operation.
So
in
order
to
protect
the
integrity
of
the
fund,
they
require
that
the
Creator,
so
to
speak,
of
the
instrumentalities
back
the
CBeebies
obligations
or
the
instrumentalities
obligations
for
participating
in
IMF.
N
What
we're
proposing
is
an
inter
governmental
cooperative,
so
each
of
the
units
of
government
that
would
be
party
to
the
agreement
would
bear
their
proportionate
share
of
the
responsibility
of
that
instrumentality.
The
giving
the
funding
ratio
of
hotel
tax
revenues
to
what
we're
projecting
is
our
IRF
contribution.
I
think
that
the
swage
is
any
fear
that
local
government
will
become
generally
responsible.
For
this
liability,
however,
is
an
additional
prophylactic
measure.
The
CPP,
in
conjunction
with
the
municipalities,
have
already
approved
this
agreement
have
added
some
things
to
the
IgA.
N
For
example,
each
January
in
July
the
CVP
would
be
required
to
project
its
six
next
sips
monthly
timer
of
contributions
and
deposit
that
amount
of
money
into
a
trust
account
that
the
money
in
their
trust
account
would
be
pledged
for
IMF
contributions
and
CVP.
You
would
have
an
obligation
to
monitor
that
account
such
that,
if
any,
if
their
next
monthly
payment
came
below
what
was
in
that
amount,
they'd
have
to
replenish
it.
The
units
of
local
government
under
the
agreement
would
have
auditing
rights
to
that
account
and
could
force
the
CVB
to
replenish
it.
N
In
addition
to
that,
we
proposed
an
intercept
where,
if,
for
example,
they
refuse
to
the
CVP
would
not
replenish
the
fund
or
let's
say
it,
mr.
himer
of
contribution
can
keep
County
would
be
able
to
intercept
funds
that
it
collects
and
take
that
money
to
either
replenish
that
trust
account
or
pay.
I
am
erect
the
the
liability
that
wasn't
paid
so
at
least
it
gives
an
extra
amount
of
protection.
N
Finally,
under
the
agreement
the
there
is
a
priority
of
sources
and
hotel
tax
revenue
is
the
main
source
there,
so,
even
if
one
community
was
collecting
only
if
there
was
one
one
heart
me,
even
if
Hotel
tax
revenue
was
coming
from
one
community,
that
money
would
go
to
that
before
anybody
become
generally
responsible
for
it.
Finally,
at
the
end
of
this,
we
have
assuming
there
was
no
hotel
tax
revenue,
which
would
be
quite
an
anomaly
I
believe.
But
let's
say
that
was
the
case.
N
Everybody
would
bear
their
proportionate
share
according
to
their
the
real
hotel
tax
revenue
that
was
collected
during
the
term
of
the
agreement.
So
that
is,
were
we
don't
think
it's
a
real
financial
risk
and
we
think
that
the
coverage
is
there
to
move
forward
with
it
now.
I
would
like
to
about
the
employees.
N
So
what
we're
asking
is
that
hanky
county
join
the
municipalities
that
I've
already
approved
this
agreement
and
agreed
to
provide
for
retirement
security
of
those
employees
that
that
work
so
hard
that
not
only
live
in
this
county,
but
work
so
hard
to
promote
it.
And
we
thank
you
for
your
support
that
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
mr.
E
E
Why
don't
you
seek
a
401k
number.
Two
is
what
makes
this
different
from
the
Kankakee
County
Housing
Authority,
the
Kankakee
County
Community
Service
and
the
VA
C.
Are
you
open
up
a
can
of
warrants
for
them
to
come
and
and
then
the
price
you
pay
for
an
attorney
could
be
put
into
the
401
K
I,
guess
whatever
that
man
but
go
ahead.
I
guess.
N
Well,
the
latter
one
I,
don't
really
know.
Maybe
it's
possibility
right
so,
but
as
far
as
a
practical
retirement
I'd
be
out
of
a
job,
though,
if
everybody
said
the
as
far
as
private
retirement
yeah,
the
you
could
also
do
that.
This
would
be
a
defined
benefit
plan,
though,
as
opposed
to
a
defined
contribution
plan.
So
that's
a
little
bit
different
right.
It's
better
security
for
the
employees.
N
Secondly,
we
wouldn't
the
the
investment
of
that
fund
has
really
left
to
IMF
as
opposed
to
the
individuals
or
if
they
would
hire
it
and
ministry
to
do
that,
and
so
it's
we
believe,
less
expensive,
considering
the
amount
of
employees
that
would
be
involved
in
this,
which
we
are
projecting,
obviously
a
to
right.
Now.
Okay,.
E
N
N
I
mean
this
one,
obviously
we're
making
an
effort
right
to
to
form
this
thing,
so
it
would
qualify
for
a
MRF
in
their
regards
we're
gonna
limit
it
to
public
entities
as
the
participants.
There's
gonna
be
no
private
memberships
in
it
at
all.
No
private
money,
but
I
mean
I,
guess
somebody
could
contribute
to
it,
but
there's
no
private
funding
of
it.
And
realistically
you
have
to
agree
as
the
instrumentality
of
the
units
of
local
government.
We
have
to
get
everybody
on
board
to
agree
to
take
secondary
responsibility
for
a
liability
if
it
should
occur.
J
N
The
first
chart
I
have
here
is,
of
course,
the
fiscal
year.
2017
hotel
tax
revenue
collections
keep
in
mind.
This
is
the
CVB's
fiscal
year,
not
year
fiscal
year,
so
there
might
be
a
little
bit
difference
in
your
numbers
and
what
you're
used
to
it
as
opposed
to
our
so
this.
This
shows
the
the
amount
of
money
that
comes
in
through
each
through
hotels
and
motels
within
each
of
the
municipalities
in
the
unincorporated
areas
of
thanking
county.
N
The
second
chart
here
is
the
annual
responsibility,
actual
percentage
as
adjusted.
So
what
I
did
here
when
determining
how
entities
would
be
responsible
for
their
share?
I
wanted
to
start
with
the
idea
that
everybody
would
be
no
pending
on
how
much
hotel
revenue
came
in
within
their
municipality.
That
would
be
the
share
of
their
responsibility
with
that
start
with
it
being
the
first
thing.
Village
of
bourbonnais
obviously
doesn't
have
a
hotel,
so
they
don't
generate
any
hotel
revenue,
yet
they
receive
a
lot
of
the
benefit.
N
So
the
village
of
bourbonnais
doesn't
even
hotel,
there's
an
avenue
hotel
tax
revenue,
but
obviously
with
the
the
bears
camp
they
receive
a
lot
of
the
the
benefit
of
it.
So
what
I
proposed
is
to
have
their
sheriff
fix
that
their
population
as
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
community.
So
that's
a
roughly
a
what
18%
then
I
put
back
in
your
proportion
of
share
based
on
hotel
tax
revenue
into
the
balance,
and
you
can
actually
see
and.
N
N
The
last
one
the
last
chart,
the
red
one
is
based
on
actual
receipts.
You
know,
without
taking
into
a
copper
by
nays
population
or
anything
like
that,
and
the
final
one
is
the
actual
as
adjusted,
which
is
the
population
of
Bourbonnais
and
the
hotel
receipt.
So
you
can
see
the
the
except
for
urban,
a
which
is
based
on
population.
The
rest
of
the
units
of
government
go
down
based
on
plugging
them
into
the
head,
so
realistically,
what
we're
looking
at
on
a
monthly
basis
for
Kankakee
County?
If
all
else
failed,
there
was
no
hotel
types.
A
N
Know
you
could
actually,
if
you've
lost
your
to
hotels.
Let's
say
this
is:
let's
say
this
agreement
is
for
five
years.
You
lose
your
two
hotels
in
two
years
into
this
agreement.
We're
only
counting
the
revenue
that
you
collected
within
those
two
years,
and
so
realistically
your
percent
is
gonna.
Go
down.
It's
gonna
be
a
moving
average
okay.
A
N
Redetermination,
let's
say
that
there
was
no
hotel
tax
revenue
or
we
didn't
have
enough.
Then
we'd
measure
it
right
there,
so
it
would
be
we'd
be
watching
it
as
we
move
along.
Realistically,
it's
not
going
to
matter
as
long
as
there's
enough
hotel
tax
revenue
to
do
it
because
that's
what's
gonna
be
pledged
for
sure.
Well,.
A
A
A
And
that's
that's
through
for
every
five-year
agreement,
so
that
makes
sense
the
way
that's.
My
main
concern
with
this
is
is
that
we
would
be
bound
to
20
X
amount
of
percent
to
24
or
something
like
that.
I
can't
remember
the
exact,
because
between
Kankakee
and
in
the
county
it
was
well
over.
50%
of
the
liability
would
have
been
absorbed.
A
N
M
M
N
O
We
go
to
four
or
eight
that
we
have
a
budget,
that's
been
approved
by
our
Board
of
Directors.
That
allows
us
to
say
that
we
have
enough
revenue
to
justify
this
employee,
so
your
Chairman's,
a
board
of
directors
all
the
boards,
all
the
directors,
are
appointed
by
the
municipalities
or
the
county
that
participates.
So
there
is
a
level
of
control
so
and
and
I
would
hope
that
me,
as
a
the
leader
of
the
organization,
wouldn't
put
more
people
in
place
that
we
can't
afford
so
hope
that
answers
that
Joe.
If
you
have
anything
else
and.
A
I
do
think
that
that
is
it's
a
relevant
point.
If
we
are
the
board
I'm
assuming
would
be
kind
of
remade
up.
If
you
will,
based
on
the
governmental
side,
I
wouldn't
expect
all
of
these
decisions
to
be
made
on
an
executive
board
that
your
chairman
or
another,
miss
apologies,
mayor
or
their
representative,
wouldn't
be
sitting
on
okay,
so
we
wouldn't
be
outside
of
those
decisions.
I
would
have
to
almost
insist
on
and
I
would
I
think
that's
kind
of
what
they're
talking
about
I.
N
B
Mr.
leer
Thank
You
mr.
chairman,
it
appears
to
me
that
they've
done
a
lot
of
good
work
here
and
I
assume
that's
been
with
some
conversations
with
you
that
have
occurred
and
I
want
to
compliment
you
on
moving
this
forward.
I
know
I
made
some
calls
and
talk
to
an
attorney
at
a
MRF
in
terms
of
what
would
be
necessary
for
a
organization
to
be
eligible
to
be
part
of
a
MRF,
and
they
indicated
that
the
intergovernmental
agreement
is
a
typical
kind
of
business
unit.
That
is
part
of
IRS.
So
this
is
a
good
step.
B
They
also
might
speak
to
the
question,
although
I
know
mr.
Snipes
isn't
here,
but
just
to
get
on
the
record.
The
question
that
some
of
his
constituents
are
asking
about
for
old
ones
as
opposed
to
a
defined
benefit
program,
I
think
that
would
be
appropriate
to
recognize
that
IRF
is
a
a
pension
system
that
has
funded
it
more
than
90%
of
their
liability,
and
so
they
are
not
in
the
same
position
that
the
public
is
undoubtedly
aware
of
in
terms
of
the
different
pension
systems
that
are
funded
by
the
state
government.
B
B
We
have
a
an
organization
here,
that's
made
up
of
governmental
units
or
better
works.
Governmental
units
aren't
going
to
go
away
for
old
ones,
are
more
appropriate
for
the
private
business
which
may
or
may
not
have
the
same
kind
of
lifespan,
whether
we
like
government
or
not,
it's
always
going
to
be
here.
Individual
businesses
can
disappear.
That's
what
I
thought
that
that
might
be
part
of
what
mr.
Snipes
might
want
to
share
with
his
constituents.
A
So
it
fact
of
the
matter
is:
the
pension
systems
are
gonna
as
long
as
Cook
County
and
st.
Clair
still
part
of
Illinois.
It's
gonna
exist
so
I'm.
We
have
to
live
in
reality
and
at
some
point
we
have
to
kind
of
realize
that
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
change
those
things
on
the
state
level.
The
one
thing
that
I
think
that
is
without
any
argument
is
that
this
can
exist.
If
it's
done
this
way,
that
is
right.
We
all
the
state's
attorney's
office.
A
We
all
actually
ask
that
this
type
of
arrangement
is
legal
to
exist.
The
only
question
that
remains
is
is,
if
you
can
use
tourism
dollars
to
fund
a
pension
system,
and
so
we're
waiting
on
that
decision.
I
think
we
need
to
press
for
that
decision,
because
I
don't
think
if
I
think,
if
we
don't
press,
we
won't
get
an
answer,
especially
with
the
climate
of
somebody
not
running
again,
and
you
know
this
type
of
things
and
people
wanting
to
make
political
statements
in
their
run
for
that
office.
A
So
I
can
tell
you
that
I'm
gonna
be
asking
for
you
know.
Let's
get
us
up.
The
chain
a
little
bit
I
can't
say
that
they're
gonna
respond,
so
we
have
to
be
prepared
to
either
act
or
not
act
based
on
a
response
or
non-response
I
hate
to
say
it
like
that.
But
it's
kind
of
where
we're
at
the
one
thing
I
will
ask.
Have
the
municipalities
agreed
to
this
version
that
you
are
discussing
right
now
or
do
you
have
to
go
back
right?
No.
N
So
what
we
do
originally
the
original
form
of
the
agreement
we
had
everybody
approve
it
in
substantial
form,
you
know,
and
they
gave
the
mayor's
the
authority
once
final
form
was,
was
determined
to
go
back,
look
at
it
with
their
attorneys
and
if
it
was
any
any
worse,
it
would
go
back
to
board.
Obviously
this
is
a
lot
better
to
the
individual
units
of
local
government
than
the
original
agreement
was
I.
Don't
think,
there's
any
question
about
that.
N
So
Kankakee
and
moments
have
proved
this
version
of
the
agreement,
as
it
sits
in
front
of
you,
the
other
municipalities.
If
we
get
this
board's
approval
or
if
we
get
the
sports
approval,
what
changes
then
we'd
send
it
back
to
the
the
mayors,
and
the
attorneys
would
just
say:
is
this:
you
know
substantially
the
same
form
agree
to
it
and
we'd
move
forward
based
on
it.
Okay,.
A
N
A
P
A
A
Would
be
employees
of
a
quasi
governmental
agency
where,
where,
as
much
like
you
CCI
government
officials
are
hiring
people
for
that
or
so
that's
why
I
think
that
there
is
a
more
of
a
reasonable
expectation
that
yes
and
that's
why
you
know
it's
not
even
more
of
it's.
It
is
a
reasonable
expectation
that
they
could
have
access
to
IMR
F.
They
wouldn't
be
getting
it
through
us.
They
would
be
accessing
it
through
the
CVB.
Does
that
make
sense,
so
they
wouldn't
need
us
to
be
able
to
access
those
benefits
so.
P
P
N
N
A
A
Well,
if
they
can,
they
will
pretty
much,
and
so
there
are
some
unknowns.
But
in
the
end,
if
the
money's
not
there
to
collect
it,
the
money
is
not
there
to
be
paid
as
well.
So
the
CVB.
If
the
state
were
to
say
that
all
that
hotel-motel
tax
is
going
to
come
to
Springfield
much
like
they
did
with
the
road
money,
and
we
will
now
will
operate
it
from
here.
Then
it
will
cease
to
exist
as
far
as
our
liability.
At
that
point,
you
know,
they'll
have
to
pay
for
this.
N
A
N
If
you
can
do,
for
example,
MFT
funds
which
are
devoted
for
transportation
purposes,
you
can
use
that,
for
I
MRF
for
those
people
that
are
working
on
those
projects.
So
there
is
some
precedent
out
there
I,
like
I,
say
we
have
two
different
opinions.
I
think
it's
not
as
clear
as
is
either
of
us
would
think,
and
it's
probably
somewhere
in
the
middle,
but
you
know
we'll
see
where
it
goes.
A
So
yeah
I
know
it's
just
no
we're
pushing
for
that
answer
now.
I'm
gonna
start
to
step
it
up
a
little
bit
because
we
don't
want
to
dry
this
out,
pass
the
ball
as
soon
as
possible.
We
don't
want
to
drag
it
out
past
October
for
sure
you
know
so,
where
I'm
shooting
for
hopefully
spring
we
can
have
some
type
of
indication.
Maybe
after
their
primary
is
done.
They
might
actually
have
some
impetus
to
move
on
this.
So.
