Thank
you
very
much
number
three.
I
might
like
it.
Okay
number
three
one
more
time.
Good
morning,
everybody
today
I'm
in
front
of
you
today
I
have
a
request:
an
emergency
authorization
to
purchase
a
critical
x-ray
equipment
for
the
kanke
county
coroner's
office.
In
recent
weeks,
our
current
equipment
has
been
failing
us.
D
I've
been
researching
and
trying
to
get
the
alternative
to
replace
options
and
which
would
cost
less
efficient
for
long
term,
but
on
june
22nd,
which
was
yesterday,
the
current
x-ray
machine
machine
equipment
failed
me
which
caused
me
a
delay
to
an
autopsy
which
was
a
homicide
case
which
has
to
be
have
a
full
body
x-ray.
On
that
we
got
the
body
in
roughly
about
7
30.
In
the
morning
the
doctor
was
coming
at
nine
and
we
couldn't
get
that
machine.
We
had
taken
one
one
shot,
and
that
was
it.
D
D
It
does
x-rays,
but
currently
the
the
coroner's
office
is
utilizing
a
ge,
portable
machine,
which
is
which
was
obtained
by
us
in
2005,
which
is
estimated
that
we
refurbished
it
and
was
estimated
to
be
20
years
prior
to
that
in
additional.
As
some
of
you
remember,
we
lost
our
development.
We
developed
all
of
our
film
in
in
the
morgue
and
we
couldn't
get
fluid
anymore
to
be
able
to
to
do
the
development,
so
we
had
to
go
digitalize.
D
So
I
bought
that
out
of
my
funds,
which
is
roughly
of
almost
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
put
digital
in
there.
We
utilized
that.
Just
now
we
just
got
a
maintenance
agreement,
we're
out
of
the
warranty
of
that
digital,
which
costs
us
roughly
about
four
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
the
warranty
on
that,
and
that
doesn't
count
what's
wrong
with
the
machine
as
it
is
when
they
come
in.
D
So
I
went
out
to
basically
get
some
quotes
on
what
it
would
cost
us
to
bring
some
something
in
like
this,
and
I
received
two
quotes
from
new
equipments
call
from
an
rps
imaging
and
a
daikon
solution
which
are
both
repairable
companies.
Both
quotes
are
for
a
jade
mobile
solution.
Basically,
it's
a
mobile
x-ray
machine.
It's
something
new!
You
can
actually
it's
almost
like
a
two-wheeler.
D
You
can
haul
anywhere
you
want
to,
or
you
can
put
a
couple
of,
we
eric
and
I
went
out
and
saw
the
demonstration
on
it.
You
put
legs
down
on
that
and
be
able
to
roll
it.
For
instance,
a
couple
times
we
thought
about
using
it
over
in
the
sheriff's
department,
but
with
the
big
machine
we
had,
we
couldn't
get
it
over
there.
This
one
here
would
be
able
to
go
over
there.
D
We
we
haven't,
we
we
offer
they
offered
us
a
five
year
warranty
on
this
and
of
both
companies.
This
would
be
the
delivery,
the
setup
and
the
training
for,
and
the
quotes
remind
yourself
as
a
all.
My
deputies
are
trained
to
be
able
to
do
x-rays,
which
is
a
cost
savings,
and
we
do
that
only
on
deceased
people,
we
can't
do
it
on
live
people,
so
you'd
have
to
be
that's
the
way
we
had
it
before,
where
we
had
to
get
an
x-ray
tech
to
come
out,
but
you
know
we're
24
hours.
D
D
I'm
requesting
that
this
be
the
quote
that
we
accept
the
ima,
the
rps's
image
out
of
michigan
city
indiana.
They
have
worked
locally
around
the
different
healthcare
facilities.
They're
we're
not
the
only
ones
will
have
this
new
machine
if
approved
it
could
take
three
to
four
weeks
before
we
could
obtain
this
equipment.
D
I
do
have
a
backup
solution
plan
in
in
in
progress
right
now.
Other
counties
of
have
already
gone
ahead
and
purchased
this
through
their
american
recovery
plan.
A
portion
of
this
of
the
overall
costs
into
the
corners.
We
put
the
budget,
we
put
the
four
thousand
dollars
for
that
warranty
in
our
budget,
but
not
all
of
this
is
going
to
be
covered
by
our
budget.
D
I
do
have
special
funds
that
I
can
cover
some
of
the
costs
of
this
equipment,
but
also
falls
on.
We
feel
it
also
falls
under
the
guidelines,
funds
of
american
rescue
and
recovery
plan
that
can
be
utilized
in
additional
one
other
thing
that
could
help
quite
considerably.
I
saw
the
sheriff
come
in
right
now,
but
this
is
an
additional
thing
that
possibly
that
they
can
use
it
can
be
brought
over
to
their
facility
very
easy
and
the
computer
goes
with
it
and
they
can
take
a
a
photograph
within
a
matter
of
seconds.
E
Yes,
just
to
give
some
background
bob
called
me
late
in
the
day
yesterday,
I
did
speak
to
the
sheriff
about
the
last
thing
he
just
mentioned
then,
and
there
is
interest
there
to
use
it.
He
has
the
medical
staff
that
could
easily
have
that
certification,
anytime,
there's
any
instance
of
a
potential
break
in
a
bone
or
anything
where
x-rays
required.
E
E
So
if
we
wait
till
the
full
board,
we're
still
three
weeks
out-
and
we
can't
go
that
long-
so,
mr
you
know
mr
coughlin
is
here
the
assistant
states
attorney.
If
the
board
needs
verification,
anyone
needs
to
speak
to
the
emergency
nature
of
this,
but
we,
it
is
teed
up
that
this
is
okay
for
the
approval
of
this
committee.
F
G
G
Yeah,
I
think,
he's
given
us
a
very
thorough
justification
for
it.
Additionally,
the
usage
not
only
by
his
office
but
the
sheriff's
office
and
the
full
explanation
by
chairman
wheeler,
as
well
as
consulting
with
the
sheriff
and
consulting
with
the
state's
attorney.
I
don't
think
there's
any
further
questions
that
we
may
have
regarding
the
necessity
for
it
in
the
justification
for
the
emergency
purchase.
G
H
H
I
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
mr
gessner.
Is
there
any
chance
that
the
company
that
you're
gonna
purchase
this
equipment
for
might
have
a
demo
that
you
could
get
immediately
or
something
that
you
could
work?
You
know,
because
it's
an
emergency,
something
that
you
could
maybe
say,
hey
mine,
just
went,
went
out
in
the
corner
of
kanke
county.
Is
there
anything
you
could
get
me
tomorrow?
I
mean
that's,
that's
my
question:
if
you
buy
them,
if
you
buy
the
new
machine
yet
yeah.
I
D
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
we
received
from
idot
our
mpo
intergovernmental
agreements,
so
it's
an
intergovernmental
agreement
between
the
county
and
idot
for
our
federal
and
state
funding
to
fund
the
mpo.
We
received
it
this
month
and
it's
currently
undergoing
a
review
with
the
state's
attorney's
office,
but
we
just
received
an
email,
15th
or
16th
of
this
month
from
from
tom
called
what
was
our
contact
and
he
said
they
idot
would
really
like
to
see
these
executed
by
july.
One.
J
The
start
date
for
this
contract
is
is
the
july
one
date.
So
we
we
want
to
bring
the
full
document
to
the
full
board
for
for
everyone's
review,
I'll
just
say
with
with
I.contracts
one
of
the
pieces
and
actually
it's
in
it's
now
in
tom's
email,
there's
a
little
disclaimer
on
kind
of
a
idot
doesn't
allow
us
to
change
contracts,
so
we
can
review
them.
We
brought
the
last
contract
forward.
J
We
had
some
comments
from
the
state's
attorney's
office
and
they
came
back
and
said,
that's
great,
but
we
do
you
know
100
of
these
a
year
and
we
don't
make
changes
to
our
contracts.
So
we
expect
the
concurrence
to
happen
with
the
state's
attorney's
office,
but
we'd
really
we'd,
really
like
a
head
nod
to
allow
the
chairman
to
sign
it
by
that
july,
1
date
and
then
be
actionable
and
reviewed
by
the
full
board
at
the
the
july
board
meeting,
which
is
it's
a
little
out
of
sync?
J
It's
just
that's
what
happens
when
we
get
a
a
june
submittal
from
the
department
and
then
we
end
up
with
our
our
timeline
doesn't
exactly
necessarily
fit
their
timeline,
so
we're
just
we're
asking
for
maybe
a
little
a
little
change.
But
you
know
these
are
funds
that
come
to
the
county,
so
it
manages
and
funds
our
mpo
between
the
state
and
federal
side.
J
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
for
those
that
were
here
yesterday.
I
apologize
for
the
redundancy
there's
you'll
hear
a
lot
of
the
same
things,
but
there
are
some
members
of
this
committee
that
aren't
on
executive,
so
I
at
least
want
to
run
through
things
and
give
people
time.
I
may
not
be
as
verbose
and
I'm
sure
you're
happy
for
that,
and
that's
why
we
record
meetings.
E
So
if
there
are
some
the
full
details
and
the
full
discussion
we
had
yesterday,
please
check
out
the
video
so
in
general
and
kelly
you're
glad
for
the
next
slide.
Our
respond
reinvest
initiative,
if
you
will
and
revitalize
excuse
me,
is-
is
broken
out
into
where
the
county
board
is
going
to
manage
the
entire
thing.
E
Heavy
public
input
throughout
the
entire
process
in
multiple
places,
sometimes
within
the
same
committee
structure,
the
executive
committee
will
handle
policy,
do
a
little
bit
of
a
project
insertion
that
supports
the
policy
and
the
finance
committee.
This
committee
will
handle
the
funding,
ranking
and
execution
of
that.
The
full
board
is
obviously
approving
budgets
and
things
like
that.
E
So
and
you
don't
you'd,
be
a
voting
member
when
you
see
your
name
on
there
you're
a
voting
member
of
that
subcommittee,
but
anybody
can
attend
any
subcommittee
and
be
part
of
the
discussion
and
that's
important
as
long
as
and
the
public
can
do
so
as
well.
So
I
wanted
to
mention
that
on
the
front
end,
the
next
slide
you
know
under
re
respond,
as
as
we
got
the
initial
input
from
community
stakeholders
from
hospitals
from
businesses.
I
mean
it's
it's
been
coming
for
about.
E
You
know,
maybe
two
months
since
this
was
announced,
we've
been
getting
suggestions
and
requests
from
different
entities
within
the
the
county,
things
that
we
could
do
better
next
time
if
a
pandemic
comes
in
things
like
that,
which
has
been
really
helpful
in
order
to
frame
the
buckets
that
we're
looking
at
here.
So
in
general,
the
subcommittee
structures,
there's
a
response
subcommittee
grouping,
a
revitalize
grouping
and
a
reinvestment
grouping
and
under
that
are
specific
subcommittees
that
have
presented
themselves
from
these
ideas
that
people
have
given
to
us.
E
So
there
was
a
group
of
public
safety,
slash
emergency
management,
suggestions
and
or
requests.
There
were
groups
of
things
that
involve
the
courts,
we've
heard
of
some
of
those
from
the
if
you're
on
criminal
justice
from
the
chief
judge,
you
know
and
things
that
impact
all
offices
with
that
that
that
serve
the
courts,
whether
it's
public
fender
states
attorney,
even
the
the
sheriff's
department,
probation,
we've,
we've
got
anybody
and
everybody.
E
You
know
that
that's
involved
there
sending
things
and
then
there's
another
bucket,
which
is
kind
of
things
that
didn't
fit
into
a
category
right
away
as
we
get
more
input
from
the
public
and
board
members
start
to.
You
know,
sink
their
teeth
into
this
and
come
up
with
ideas,
and
you
know
initiatives.
They
think
that
might
help
that
other
bucket
may
break
up
into
a
new
bucket
that
we
see
okay,
there's
six
things
that
pertain
to
this.
Whatever
it
is,
so
that's
somewhat
fluid.
E
As
it
stands
right
now
and
those
are
all
under
the
respond
area,
we
have
to
respond
to
the
pandemic
in
in
these
areas
and-
and
believe
me
other
has
you
know
things
that
are
involving
the
public
is
just
not
internal.
Our
main
focus
of
the
county
is
are
how
we
respond
to
the
pandemic
and
other
emergencies
going
forward,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we're
not
gonna.
You
know
it's
not
exclusive
of
working
with
other
community
partners
that
deal
with
the
human
impact
of
this
as
well.
E
So
the
revitalization
effort
we
broke
it
up
into
the
two
large
buckets
to
start
with
workforce
and
revitalizing
business,
because
those
were
the
two
that
just
jump
out
at
you,
real
quick.
That
other
is
there
as
a
placeholder,
because
I'm
sure
there
will
be
things
that
come
up
that
don't
fit
into
that.
So
I'm
trying
to
leave
room
for
expansion
modification
as
the
process
evolves.
E
I
mean
this
is
totally
new,
just
like
the
last
year
and
a
half
have
been
something
we've
never
experienced
in
in
government
personal
lives
or
anything
we're
trying
to
really
invent
a
process
without
inventing
a
bureaucracy.
That's
important
here
because
that
will
outlast
any
funds
to
support
the
bureaucracy.
E
So
we
have
to
be
very
careful
on
what
we're
talking
about
within
county
government
because,
as
I
will
talk
about
towards
the
end,
we're
very
limited
on
funds
for
the
actual
operation
side
of
this
we've
got
a
lot
of
money
from
the
feds
for
the
implementation,
but
the
operation
side
is
very
limited.
Even
more
so
now
the
state
has
gone
the
direction
they
have
in
springfield.
E
E
You
know
dive
into
this,
based
on
the
particular
topic
that
they're
under
they
will
set
the
policy
first.
That
supports
an
overarching
approach
to
an
issue,
and-
and
we
talked
about
some
examples
yesterday-
and
you
know
so
if
you
want
to
watch
that
video
to
kind
of
get
through
that,
but
the
policy
drives
the
action
and
the
the
initiative
that
would
support
that
policy,
not
vice
versa.
Otherwise
we
may
end
up
with
a
bunch
of
non-connected
initiatives
that
are
just
taking
little
pieces
of
a
problem.
E
We
should
probably
identify
problems
and
try
to
impact
them
rather
than
just
throw
money
at
stuff.
That's
kind
of
the
way
I'm
hoping
the
board
approaches
that
so
by
this
process,
the
policy
policy
should
direct
the
spending
they'll
send
that
to
the
executive
committee,
so
the
policy
will
be
developed
in
the
subcommittee.
E
The
executive
committee
will
approve
the
policy
or
reject
it
after
public
input
and
then
the
the
pop
the
executive
committee
would
also
populate
and
rank
those
initiatives
to
send
over
to
the
finance
committee
just
as
they're
there.
They
have
a
group
of
initiatives
at
that
point.
There
that
support
the
policy
they'll
throw
them
over
there.
There
may
be
more
debate
requiring
an
executive
or
they
may
have
that
debate
over
at
the
finance
side
of
things.
E
So
you
I
wouldn't
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
working
through
the
details
of
that
project
when
it's
number
60
on
a
list
that
may
end
at
number
12.,
so
we'll
figure
that
out
as
we
go
but
it'll
become
obvious.
Once
we
get
to
that
point,
they
will
send
those
ranked
and
costed
initiatives
to
the
full
finance
committee,
this
committee
and
after
public
input
they
will
approve
or
reject,
and
the
finance
will
then
execute
and
the
full
board
will
monitor
the
whole
situation.
E
The
key
is
is
that
we
will
communicate
between
committees.
We
will
communicate
with
other
municipalities.
We
will
communicate
and
try
to
coordinate
as
much
as
possible
with
anybody
who
wants
to
work
on
these
umbrella
initiatives.
We
we
aren't
necessarily
focusing
on
what's
going
on
within
municipalities,
because
they
have
their
own
buckets
of
money
and
grants
and
other
things,
but
we
should
always
look
for
opportunities
to
coordinate,
to
stretch
the
impact
of
our
our
combined
money
further
for
issues
that
impact
us
all
or
a
large
portion
of
this
all
so
that
that's
another.
E
You
know
another
purposeful
step
that
we
should
take
again
robust
opportunity
for
public
input
and
and
the
process
will
remain
consistent
for
each
committee.
When
you
see
these
committees,
they
are
executive
committee,
led,
if
you
will
at
the
beginning
with
policy,
but
then
they
will
just
flip
over
to
be
finance
committee
subcommittees,
so
the
same
people
that
are
discussing
the
policy
and
become
really
intimate
and
understand
where
it
came
from
and
where
the
implementation
may
lie,
they
will
be
working
on
the
finance
side
of
it
as
well.
E
G
Given
that
fact-
and
I
mentioned
yesterday-
and
I'm
gonna
for
those
of
you
who
weren't
here
yesterday,
we
need
from
the
administration
a
a
priority
list
of
needs,
not
wants,
but
needs.
We've
heard
the
chief
judge
talk
about
a
new
management
management
system
they
need.
There
are
some
additional
things
that
the
sheriff
may
want
be
mindful
that
again,
eighty
percent
of
our
expenditures
are
public
safety
and
courts.
G
G
You
know
you
may
recall
last
month
this
month
or
whatever
cavender
made
a
presentation
about
the
freezers
and
stuff
they
can
only
accommodate
too,
and
I
think
if
I
can't
miss,
I
don't
know
if
I
made
misheard
him,
but
I
think
he
wanted
something
that
would
accommodate
more,
I'm
not
sure
of
the
number
eight
or
what,
but
that's
something
we're
going
to
have
to
deal
with
as
well
too.
So
all
I'm
saying
to
you,
I'm
not.
I
don't
want
to
hear
presentations
coming
from
outside
saying.
Well,
we
need
a
skating
rink.
G
I
mean
I
heard
that
at
the
city
you
know
about
some
how
the
money
would
would
be
used.
The
lady
said
I
want
we,
we
need
a
skate
rink,
I'm
not
so
sure,
that's
the
highest
and
best
use
of
our
money.
All
I'm
saying
to
you
is
that
and-
and
we
articulated
to
the
chairman
yesterday-
give
us
a
priority
list
of
needs
and
and
be
mindful
of
of
cost.
G
So
all
I'm
saying
is
that
I
don't
want
to
hear
these
extraneous
presentations,
but
we'll
hear
them
there'll
be
be
people
coming
here
asking
for
the
world,
but
you
know
there's
limits
as
to
what
we
can
actually
do
to
consider.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
for
and
the
and
the
chairman
concurred
with
that.
He
had
asked
the
department
heads
to
provide
a
not
necessarily
a
wish
list,
but
a
priority
list
of
things.
They
need.
E
Yes,
so
the
next
slide
is
just
the
under
the
response.
You
know
respond
category
just
you
know,
and
some
of
those
initial
requests
that
that
mr
hunter
was
talking
about
are
over
on
the
right
that
say
potential
projects.
Those
are
just
things
that
have
presented
themselves
already,
that's
just
a
short
list
to
kind
of
get
the
as
they
say,
juices
flowing
when
you're
thinking
about
what
this
committee
is
going
to
be
doing,
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
bucket.
So
the
people
that
are
on
here
are
on
this
committee.
Again.
E
E
E
The
next
slide,
and
that
would
be
mr
long
will
share
that
one
with
mr
fairfield
vice
chair.
But
those
are
the
the
folks
and
notice
the
citizen
advisory.
That's
really
an
unlimited
list
in
that
area.
They
could
be
police
chiefs.
It
could
be
really
anybody
associated
with
public
safety.
I
mean
we
have
somebody.
That's
like
I
want
to
say,
like
a
forest
preserve
officer,
I
can't
think
of
what
it
is.
It's
not
forest
preserve,
but
it's
conservation
yeah.
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
limit
it
to
anything
in
there.
E
It
could
be
people
that
are
just
retired.
That
used
to
do
that
for
be
involved
in
public
safety,
or
you
know
anything
emergency
management.
Anybody
can
get
part
of
it
be
part
of
it.
It
could
be
somebody
that
you
know
is
a
current
elected
official
in
another
jurisdiction.
I
don't
it
doesn't
matter
if
you
have
something
to
bring
to
the
table,
bring
it
and,
as
mr
hunter
said,
you
know
we're
going
to
get
some
interesting
requests.
E
So
I
don't
necessarily
want
to
discourage
people
thinking
outside
the
box,
but
there
shouldn't
be
any
expectation
that
they
will
get
ranked
up
towards
the
top,
but
I
think
the
good
ideas
definitely
will
flow
to
the
top.
So
moving
on
under
under
you
know,
respond
it
went
from
courts
to
other
projects
again.
This
is
the
bucket
of
things
that
didn't
really
fit
into
a
category
to
start
with,
moving
on
to
workforce
under
revitalize,
we
need
to
revitalize
the
workforce,
that's
something
that
is
obviously
an
issue.
E
What
might
impact
how
we
we
revitalize
our
workforce
within
the
area?
The
culvert
has
had
an
impact
in
that
area,
both
with
as
we
talked
about
with
people
that
or
businesses
that
can't
find
people
to
work
there.
We
should
consider
that
as
well,
that's
an
impact
to
covet
and
as
as
well
as
people
that
are
under
trained
or
underemployed
for
the
jobs
that
exist
in
this
county.
E
We
have
a
high
unemployment
rate,
not
as
high
as
as
some
places
in
the
the
state
which
traditionally
were
more
towards
the
top
of
that
that
scale,
if
you
will,
if
all
things
being
equal,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
open
jobs,
which
is
strange.
Those
two
usually
don't
go
together,
so
we're
not
alone
in
that,
but
again
under
workforce
revitalization,
we
already
have
commitment
from
kcc
in
the
workforce
board.
Mr
pace
from
the
naacp
would
ask
to
be
part
of
that
group.
E
E
Let
me
know
under
revitalizer:
it's
really
the
other
bucket,
there's
nothing
in
there
yet,
but
it
will
be
the
same
community
committee
members
as
the
other
other
bucket
just
so
they
can
follow
things
through
and
have
the
same
type
of
thought
process
on
both,
and
this
is
one
where
I
thought
that
you
know
maybe
under
other
we
might.
I
talked
to
randy
mcgill
at
the
housing
authority.
You
know
there's
going
to
be
a
problem
here
with
evictions
and
things
that
are
coming
up
here.
It
was
extended
for
another
month.
E
So
if
we're
looking
at
addressing
homelessness
and
other
things
that
are
that
are
happening,
we
should
probably
consider
partnering
with
that
organization.
I
think
they're
part
of
a
solution.
Somehow
I
just
don't
know
what
yet
all
right
moving
on,
and
he
very
graciously
agreed
to
to
do
that,
so
that
was
that
was
appreciated
and
then
reinvest
is
kind
of
a
larger
I'll
say
catch
all
right
now.
E
The
reinvestment
part
is
where
we've
already
heard
from
the
chief
judge,
their
number
one
identified
priority
in
response
to
the
covet
issue
and
future
ongoing
operations
is
their
court
management
system
court
view
we're
the
only
county
in
illinois
that
has
this
system
so
every
time
a
new
law
comes
in
that
impacts,
how
the
courts
are
managed,
which
is
all
the
time.
It
costs
us
a
lot
of
money
because
we're
the
only
ones
paying
the
development
cost
on
that
that
computer
system
and
we
have
no
leverage
to
get
anything
done
in
a
timely
fashion.
E
So
we
heard
from
the
chief
judge:
I've
heard
it
from
anybody
who
touches
the
court
system
over
there
that
we
have
something
that
is
beyond
a
dinosaur
they
they
they
wonder
if
it
was
actually
written
in
cobalt
or
in
one
of
the
old
dos
systems.
You
know
I
mean
it's,
it's
that
archaic.
They
use
tiffs
as
documents
which
take
sometimes
10
minutes
to
unload
or
to
to
load
up
into
their
computer
system.
The
clock
just
sits
there
and
spins.
E
Mainly
the
clerk's
office
on
the
document
flow,
how
it
comes
in
how
it's
processed
and
everything
else
so,
and
it
doesn't
allow
people
to
work
from
home.
So
that's
another
problem,
so
we
we
are
confident
that
that
is
infrastructure
slash.
You
know,
covid
related,
so
we
we
think
that
fits
into
the
to
the
bucket.
So
that's
why
it's
on
it'll
be
on
this
list
at
some
point
to
consider,
so
we
can
move
on
and
these
are
for
the
finance
committee.
E
You
need
to
hear
this
because
this
is
kind
of
the
brass
tax
on
where
we're
at
on
this.
So
the
21.3
million
in
harpa
funds
that
the
county
is
receiving,
we
already
got
half
of
it,
it's
sitting
in
the
bank
and
we'll
get
another
equal
amount
next
year.
So
this
year
we've
already
established
the
funds
this
committee
has
acted.
Full
board
is
approved.
E
We
have
determined
through
the
calculations
that,
through
the
gfoa,
which
is
the
government,
finance
yeah
what
he
said.
Basically
the
finance
guys
people
who
know
what
they're
doing.
Unlike
me,
no
I'm
just
kidding,
but
they
there's
a
calculation.
You
could.
You
could
break
the
funding
up
into
two
buckets
one,
that's
really
restrictive,
which
are
the
straight
coveted
funds
and
the
one
that
is
less
restrictive,
but
still
has
a
lot
of
restrictions
on
it.
E
The
lost
revenue
fund,
so
all
the
money
could
be
spent
on
covet
things,
but
only
the
arpa
funds
can
be
spent
on
cobit
things
and
that's
the
distinction.
I'm
drawing
here.
It's
in
our
best
interest
to
have
a
little
bit
of
freedom
to
to
identify
things
that
have
manifested
during
covid
but
have
a
longer
impact.
E
So
the
splits
are
up
there
right
now,
we're
estimating
next
year
because
they
haven't
said
what
they're
going
to
base
their
lost
revenue
number
on
for
the
second
tranche,
so
we're
kind
of
estimating
it's
going
to
be
the
same
using
2019
numbers
versus
today.
So
there
you
see
the
breakout.
So
it's
it's
it's
substantial,
but
this
helps
you
identify
cash
flow
as
well.
You
know
there
are
things
you
will
commit
to
that,
probably
won't
be
spent
until
23
or
24..
I
can
imagine
some
of
that.
That
may
be
more
infrastructure
related.
E
There
may
be
other
things
there's
and
we'll
talk
about
an
example
here
in
a
minute
when
dan
gets
up
there,
his
voting
machines
were
going
to
go
through
this
process
because
they're
eligible
for
lost
revenue
deployment
on
those
voting
machines.
We
just
don't
have
time.
We
got
to
get
them
on
order,
so
we
we.
We
can't
wait
one
or
two
months,
because
who
knows
how
long
they're
going
to
be
dan?
We
have
a
commitment
on
delivery,
but,
as
we've
all
seen
during
cobit
we're
still
waiting
on
an
elevator,
you
know
we're.
E
People
are
still
waiting
on
sliding
glass,
doors
and,
and
things
to
do
you
know
the
work
at
the
house
that
just
aren't
here
yet
so
we
don't
want
to
take
a
chance
when
we
have
a
june
primary
june,
28th
june
28th
primary,
so
we
have
to
be
trained
up
and
have
everything
humming
on
all
cylinders
beforehand.
So
normally
that
would
have
went
through
there.
I
guess
is
what
I'm
saying,
but
we're
pulling
that
out,
because
we
have
to
act
on
that.
So.
A
A
E
You
this
was
more
of
an
explanation
for
this
committee,
because
we
we
haven't,
really
got
into
it
in
depth
yet
on
the
finance
committee
side
of
things,
but
we
have,
as
I
said
yesterday,
it's
important
to
remember.
We
have
21.3
million
dollars
that
the
federal
government
says
you
have
to
spend
basically
by
the
end
of
24,
and
you
can't
spend
it
on
certain
things
and
I'll
read
this
kind
of
what
the
highlights
are
here
covering
payroll
benefits
for
public
safety
and
public
health.
E
Employees
is
more
restrictive
than
what
was
allowed
under
the
cares
act
and
the
the
the
part
that's
important
about
the
next
sentence
is
we
can
spend
money
on.
You
know,
to
the
extent
that
their
services
are
devoted
to
mitigating
or
responding
to
the
covet
19
public
health,
emergency
and
employees,
time
that
is
dedicated
to
responding
to
the
coveted
public
health
emergency.
E
It's
not
like
it
was
before
we
could
just
cover
salaries
for
for
certain
departments
all
together.
This
has
now
become
very
restrictive,
so
we
can't
use
coveted
money
for
those
types
of
things
anymore.
It's
this
committee
needs
to
understand
that,
especially
with
the
next
slide,
taking
into
account
counties
may
use
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
the
provision
of
government
services
to
the
extent
of
the
reduction
of
revenue
experienced
due
to
the
covet
19
public
health
emergency.
E
You
know
there
there's.
I
think
the
next
line
was
to
the
extent
of
reduction
in
revenue
to
the
to
the
public
health
emergency.
I
want
to
re-emphasize
that
we
have
21.3
million
dollars
that
we
have
to
spend
and
the
state
just
took
5
million
away
from
us
per
year
in
revenue.
We
can't
spend
coveted
money
to
make
up
that
five
million
dollars.
That
would
be
illegal
and
we'd
have
to
repay
the
money.
Okay.
E
So
I
want
to
draw
the
distinction
here
for
both
the
committee
and
maybe
others
that
may
see
the
county
spending
money
and
then
not
spending
money
in
certain
areas.
At
the
same
time,
it
will
be
confusing
it's
confusing
to
this
committee.
It
will
be
confusing
to
the
public,
because
something
like
this
has
never
happened
before,
but
I
can't
spend
the
money.
We
can't
spend
the
money
then
it's
gone.
Then
we
have
to
repay
it
because
we
just
got
hit
twice.
E
It's
just
so
hard
to
understand
from
an
outside
looking
in
perspective,
but
we
are
going
to
try
to
do
the
best
we
can
with
this
fund
with
these
funds
for
for
the
betterment
of
our
our
our
county
infrastructure,
the
community,
but
also
know
that
we're
we're
going
to
try
to
deal
with
this
financial.
It's
not
a
crisis.
E
So
I
just
it
may
seem
strange
if
we're
gonna
go
out
and
fund,
like
one
of
the
things
is
a
wreck
area,
maybe
at
the
jail
or
you
know
we're
doing
the
basement
at
the
courthouse
for
jury
assembly,
because
that's
a
space
needs
issue.
Covid.
There
is
a
legitimate
issue
to
make
that
a
space
where
people
can
co-exist.
E
We
have
ada
issues,
but
also
our
space
needs
a
attached
to
that
for
the
circuit
clerk's
office
that
we're
moving
people
into
the
basement,
an
office
down
there
for
clerks
to
spread
them
out
a
little
bit.
So
it
may
seem
like
where
you're
spending
money
on
this
but
you're
crying
poor
on
that
the
two
they're
completely
different
situations,
and
I
can't
spend
the
covent
money
on
what
was
taken
from
us
by
the
state
of
illinois
and
that's
that's
kind
of
where
I'll
I'll
leave
it.
E
I
guess
the
one
thing
I
will
say
that
these
these
policies
for
the
last
slide.
These
are
just
suggestions
from
for
me.
I
I
think
we
would
ask
that
the
the
maybe
at
our
next
executive
committee,
meeting
that
this
becomes
ratified
or
amended
accordingly,
but
you
know,
as
practical
deployed
two
years,
arpa
funds
on
initiatives,
initiatives
that
have
a
long-term
impact.
E
That
just
makes
sense
if
we're
collecting
fees
and
fines
and
other
things
we
should
use
those
as
they're
dedicated
to
those
special
funds.
Before
we
use
arpa
funds,
that
doesn't
mean
you
can't
have
a
combination,
but
we
should
be
using
that
that
that
sources
as
needed
access
grant
funds
instead
of
arpa
funds
work
when
possible.
So
if
somebody,
you
know
were
to
request
money
for
I'm
trying
to
think
of
something
for
their
restaurant,
let's
just
say:
well,
there's
restaurant
money
out
there
separate
from
what
the
county
got.
E
E
Well,
they
they
were
way
down,
they
didn't
have
their
their
big
fundraisers
and
and
these
types
of
organizations
out
there.
So
it's
we.
We
should
think
about
that
and
be
aware
of
it.
I'm
not
saying
that
each
one
gets
four
million
dollars,
but
you
see
where
I'm
going
with
that
we
may
want
to
help
them
out
with
expenses
related
to
cobit
as
much
as
the
funds
allow.
So
beyond
that,
I
had
nothing
else
for
the
committee
unless
they
have
questions.
E
This
the
I
just
want
to
re-mention
that
senate
bill
60
to
667
almost
at
666.
667
was
the
bill
that
does
not
allow
us
to
house
ice
here
anymore
detainees.
Now
families
have
to
go
to
other
states
to
see
their
loved
ones
and
those
states
are
making
the
revenue,
and
it
does
has
done
nothing
to
address
the
massive
immigration
problem
we
have
in
this
country
that
we
all
want
to
see
fixed.
E
A
A
A
M
At
the
time
we
also
purchased
the
global
election
management
system.
That
was
the
system
that
we
used
to
create
the
ballots
we
had
been
been
sending
that
out
and
we
decided
that
it
might
be
beneficial
for
us
to
do
that
in-house.
So
we
purchased
that
at
the
time
that
was
not
paid
for
with
grant
money
that
was
paid
for
out
of
out
of
budget
in
2009
d
bolt
said
they
didn't
want
to
be
in
the
election
business
anymore.
M
They
sold
everything
off
to
ashley
depot
changed
their
name
to
premier
and
then
sold
everything
off
to
es.
There
was
an
anti-trust
issue,
I
believe
at
the
time
and
and
ess
sold
off
par
part
of
their
equipment.
The
debuld
stuff
and
gems
dominion
purchased
some
of
those
assets
which
included
the
the
gem
system
that
we
used
up
through
this
election
that
equipment
that
we
purchased
back
in
2004
and
2007.
That
was
the
last
that
was
manufactured
by
them.
M
So
you
know
if,
if
anything
that
we
had
purchased
since
then
was
a
machine
that
was
2004
2007.
So
we
were
purchasing
old
equipment
as
our
spares
we
needed
to
do
that
since
we
started
using
that
equipment,
I
did
the
math.
We
cast
636
098
ballots
on
all
of
that
equipment
and
the
14
17
years
since
then.
So
I
think
we've
certainly
gotten
our
money's
worth
out
of
those,
but
it
was
at
the
time
we.
M
M
M
We
we
showed
that
to
not
only
staff
and
county
board
members
were
present
for
that.
We
also
had
members
of
the
public
and
election
judges
come
through.
We
asked
them
all
to
fill
out
surveys
and
everybody
liked
something,
and
if
we
looked
at
the
ratings
for
all
of
those
systems,
honest
to
god
within
one
to
three
percent,
the
the
they
rated
the
machines,
you
know
they
were
pretty
darn
close
to
being
equally
rated.
M
If
you
want
to
move
to
the
next
slide,
so
we
opened
up
the
bids
at
the
community
services
meeting
a
couple
week
last
week
and
based
on
the
purchase
price
for
that
equipment.
Ess's
bid
came
in
at
684,
949,
not
99.49,
sorry,
gbs's
bid
came
in
at
799,
420
liberties
was
693,
660
dollars,
they
did
say
and
and
and
speaking
with
the
chairman,
I
think
we're
looking
to
purchase
the
equipment
all
in
one
lump
sum.
M
M
M
M
So
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
was
doing
you
know
was
having
our
vendors
do
our
coding
for
us
we
were.
We
are.
I
can't
speak
for
dupage
now,
but
we
were
one
of
only
two
jurisdictions
that
were
doing
coding
in
state
of
illinois.
So,
but
in
addition
to
that,
providing
services
like
being
there
for
the
locking
and
loading
locking
and
loading
is
getting
the
equipment
ready
to
go
for
distribution
on
election
day.
M
M
M
M
So
we
looked
at
the
ballot
costs,
for
we
averaged
it
out
about
40
000
ballots
a
year
is
what
we
use.
You
know
odd
years.
We
don't
use
his
money
even
years.
We
use
more
so
averaged
out
to
40
000,
so
we
included
that
the
cost
for
the
precinct
kits
and
all
of
that
now
liberty's
bid
came
in
as
a
package
for
we're
going
to
give
you
480
000
ballots
for
the
life
of
the
contract,
which
is
a
six
year
contract.
M
F
M
M
M
Now
we
use
that
we
integrate
that
with
our
voter
registration
system,
because
our
voter
registration
has
the
voter
codes.
That
tell
me
what
are
the
unique
combinations
in
there,
but
I
had
to
generate
reports
to
do
that
and
then
take
that
information
and
plug
it
into
into
the
gem
system,
which
was
what,
in
turn,
created
the
ballots.
A
Thank
you,
you're
welcome,
hi
dan,
yes,
sir.
I
believe
the
next
two
election
cycles
is
a
strong
probability
that
that
we
will
have
high
voter
turnout,
and
I
heard
you
saying
that
the
number
of
ballots
that
was
being
proposed
by
liberty
was
in
excess
of
what
is
our
previous
experiences
for
at
least
equal
to
correct.
A
E
M
You
know
because
the
equipment
is
so
old,
there's
not
a
lot
of
maintenance
to
do
with
them.
It's
you
know,
buy
another
old
machine
and
hope
that
it
gets
you
through,
but
our
ballot
ballot
costs.
You
know
we're
probably
at
25
000
a
year
for
for
the
even
year
elections,
our
election
supplies,
probably
about
another
13
14
000,
a.
E
M
Well,
I
mean
it
does
include
you
know
we
do
budget
for
on-site
support
that
comes
out
of
our
election
supplies.
Now
our
elections
have
been.
That
would
probably
cover
80
percent
of
what
we've
got
budgeted
for
election
supplies.
But
you
know
there's
always
things
you
know
we
need
seals
to.
You
know
lock
the
equipment
down.
We,
you
know
other
miscellaneous
paper,
things
that
you
know
website
maintenance,
so
so.
E
E
A
B
M
M
So
they're,
six
years
old,
yeah
they're
they're
no
longer
going
to
be
supported,
so
we're
going
to
need
to
purchase
new
ipads
check
with
the
state's
attorney's
office
and
in
per
the
state's
attorney's
office,
no
ink's
a
professional
service
agreement.
We
don't
need
to
bid
it.
That
being
said,
I
did
check
some
prices
at
a
couple
places.
M
No
inc
is
giving
us
a
quote
of
310.
for
new
ipads
best
buy
and
computer
discount
warehouse
up
in
chicago
they're
330
to
335
dollars
a
piece.
So
I
I
wasn't
able
to
find
any
place
that
gets
us
an
ipad
that
was
cheaper
than
what
no
ink
was
going
to
give
to
us.
But
there's
going
to
be
some
additional
things.
E
H
E
E
I
need
to
either
make
sure
that
that
was
part
of
the
original
motion,
because
I
think
the
motion
said
buy
the
equipment
also
sign
the
agreement
for
the
maintenance
and
everything
else.
We
didn't
say
it,
so
I
just
probably
need
the
motion
in
a
second
or
do
we
need
to
have
a
separate
motion
in
a
second
for
me
to
sign
that.
A
A
K
A
A
A
N
We'll
start
off
with
sales
tax
you'll
see
there
was
a
very
large
spike
this
month
and
it's
from
the
retail
month
of
march.
So
looking
back
that's
when
the
stimulus
hit,
so
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
back
then
what
the
impact
may
be
and
now
we're
able
to
actually
see
it
interesting.
I
look
back
for
my
own
personal
one
and
hit
march
17th,
so
this
could
also
show
up
potentially
april
and
possibly
may
so
we'll
see,
but
not
only
individually.
N
So
that's
a
significant
number
that
we
haven't
seen
for
a
number
of
years,
so
so
we'll
see
if
it's
a
just
a
one
month
or
we'll
see
if
it
shows
up
in
multiple
months
or
not
there
and
the
sales
tax
report
that
shows
bradley
bourbon
a
in
the
city,
kankakee
you'll
see
that
it
showed
up
everywhere
for
all
of
our
I'm
assuming
it
showed
up
in
you
know
in
every
jurisdiction
you
know
in
the
county,
so
some
interesting,
interesting
information.
There
significant
impact.
N
N
Model,
but
so
we've
we've
had
some
significant
impacts.
You
know
from
a
monthly
distribution
standpoint,
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
what
you
know
to
get
back
to
what
normal
actually
looks
like
for
after
the
last
two
years.
So
a
lot
of
the
models
that
I
work
with
with
rejection,
I'm
going
back
to
2019,
just
because
you
know
what
we've
gone
through
in
2020
and
now
with
spikes
in
21.,
they're,
nice.
N
All
right
cash
flow
wise
we
are
in
and
about
through
the
lowest
point
of
our
cash
flow
year.
If
you
will
the
june
21
estimated
you'll
see
1.7
the
reality
of
that
is
that
we
have
a
payroll
early
next
week,
so
that
will
also
have
to
to
take
care
of
that
payroll,
which
is
right
at
a
million
dollars
every
two
weeks.
N
So
before
the
distribution
which
mr
africano
said,
it
would
happen
right
after
july
4th
we
will
have
one
more
payroll
and
we
have
ap
today
to
calculate
so
my
estimation
without-
and
this
is
the
first
year-
we've
done
it-
without
not
only
tax
anticipations,
but
without
an
early
property
test
property
tax
distribution.
So
we
made
it,
but
before
the
first
pri
or
yeah,
the
first
distribution
happens,
we'll
probably
be
in
a
range
of
between
400
and
600
000
left
in
the
bank
before
that
distribution.
N
So
we
made
it,
but
we
would
not
be
able
to
do
another
payroll
or
pay
many
bills
at
that
level.
So
we
are
within
the
45-60
day
window
right
now
we
do
have
a
handful
of
a
number
of
larger
invoices
sitting
there,
but
a
handful
is
way
better
than
previous
years,
where
we
had
hundreds
and
a
lot
of
people
calling
a
lot
of
people
upset.
N
So
so
we
did
it
it's
close,
but
and
I'll
be
glad
after
that,
first
distribution
this
year,
so
I'll
be
able
to
sleep
and
not
worry
about
it.
But
thank
god
we
got
the
these
distributions,
these
monthly
distribution
of
sales
tax
and
the
spikes
that
we
got.
It
helped
us
you
know,
get
through
and
and
accomplish
that.
N
So
that
is
a
major
accomplishment,
although
it's
still
tight
and
it's
still
very
nerve-wracking
to
say
the
least,
but
we're
able
to
do
it
and
you
know
we'll
open
up
the
rest
of
the
year.
As
we
see
you
know
the
flow
and
everything
continue,
but
this
is
the
primary
the
most
important
year.
As
you
see
what
happens
after
distribution
amount
of
cash
that
we
have
available,
you
know
it's
for
regular
operational
purposes.
So
so
that's
the
update,
we're
almost
there
and
through
it.
A
B
N
They
developed
the
worksheet
and
it's
locked,
so
you
basically
just
plug
away
and
it
calculates
for
you
and
takes
into
consideration
all
the
factors
that
are
there.
So
it
was
a
nice
tool.
So
I
took
and
plugged
all
of
our
information
in
and
it
will
not
give
you
whether
you
should
use
4.1
or
a
different
percent
until
you
fill
it
all
in.
N
What
I
did
is,
I
just
get
gave
you
an
update,
similar
to
what
chairman
wheeler
had
up
there.
This
is
more
in
a
income
statement,
format
with
the
first
payment
of
10
669
703,
which
is
now
here
and
in
the
bank.
If
we
were
to
do
the
transfer
out
from
it's
now,
so
the
10.6
million
is
in
the
arka
fund
that
we've
already
created
and
we
we
just
created
the
lost
revenue
fund.
N
So
then
the
transfer
would
be
that
6.4
million
going
from
transfer
out
to
transfer
in
to
the
lost
revenue
fund,
and
then
I
just
put
an
estimate
in
because
the
board
had
not
voted
on.
You
know
the
voting
machines
had
not
processed
that
yet.
So
I
just
plugged
an
estimate
just
to
show
like
a
running
balance,
so
we
could
put
the
corner.
N
We
could
add
the
corner
piece
to
this
as
well
for
the
x-ray
machine
and
we'll
keep
a
running
balance,
so
so
this
is
how
we'll
flow
it
and
we'll
it's
a
combined
balance,
because
all
the
funds
can
be
used
for
the
coveted
reason
and
we've
we've
discussed.
You
know
hopefully
thoroughly
enough
and
we
can
continue
to
answer
questions
as
far
as
just
the
difference
between
you
know
the
the
abilities
of
use
between
the
two
funds
and
keep
it
running
total.
N
N
I
have
not
read
anything
come
across
that
says
it
has
to
have
a
you
know.
Like
a
resolution,
you
know
or
not
I
personally,
you
know,
neither
neither
opinion
is
right
or
wrong
from
what
we've
read.
I
guess
it's!
It's
it's
up
to
the
committee.
I
think
the
chairman
is
okay
with
the
finance
committee.
I
felt
better
if
it
went
to
the
full
board
just
to
make
sure
any
federal
auditors
came
in
here
and
six
seven
years
from
now.
You
know,
will
the
resolution
be
better
than
and
committee?
You
know
it,
that's
it.
N
E
E
We
have
that
flexibility
to
approve
everything
at
finance
but
steve's
opinion,
and
I
think
it's
valid
it
wouldn't
hurt
to
have
that
extra
layer
of
the
full
board
blessing
that
as
well.
So
I
don't
think
they're
mutually
exclusive
at
all.
We
can
take
the
action
we
need
to
do
if
there's
a
time
crunch
on
something,
but
why
not
send
it
to
the
full
board
for
the
resolution
as
well?
E
A
O
E
E
B
A
B
N
Yeah,
I'm
going
to
take
a
moment
here
and
this
year
and
do
something
different
and
rightfully
so,
there's
two
letters
to
email
communications,
one
with
the
the
workforce.
They
they
call
it
monitoring,
which
is
auditing
of
the
workforce
funds
and
then
one
from
skdo,
so
ladonna
russell.
The
executive
director
from
our
local
grundy
livingston
king
key
workforce
board,
sent
one
a
summary
of
the
their
exit
conference
with
the
wioa
staff
and
then
from
jackie
meals
from
skdo
on
the
single
audit.
N
The
importance
of
that
is
between
the
two,
the
the
county
level
and
then
then,
the
adding
in
the
workforce.
We
average
between
6.6
to
7.5
million
dollars
of
federal
funds
that
are
managed
and
if
any
of
you
have
ever
seen
or
heard
of
the
uniform
guidance.
And
then
you
know
we're
talking
a
lot
about
arpo
here's
34
pages,
now
of
of
specific
reporting
and
compliance
information
that
we
have
to
read
and
digest,
along
with
everything
else
that
they've
sent
that
we
have
to
carry
around
now
to
answer
questions.
N
But
I
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
chris
kerner
in
my
office.
Chris
stand
up.
I'm
gonna
embarrass
him
here.
So
you
know
chris
took
over
this
role
in
2017
when
nicole
left
and
has
done
a
great
job
and
to
have
no
findings
on
either
level
handling.
You
know
the
millions
of
dollars
that
we
do.
You
know
it
should
be
acknowledged
and
as
well
as
you
know,
our
sports
staff,
dublin
and
tracy.
N
N
E
Steve
it
occurred
to
me,
you
might
be
able
to
help
with
an
explanation
here
so
as
background.
We
are
the
fiscal
agent
for
the
workforce
board
for
grundy,
livingston
and
kanke
county.
Sorry,
I'm
thinking
ahead
there
but
yeah
for
ourselves
as
well,
but
we
are
obviously
not
you
know
we
we're
not
the
management
per
se
of
that
it's
the
we're
the
fiscal
agent.
So
as
such,
we
make
recommendations
on
internal
controls
and
we're
accountable
to
those
internal
controls.
E
A
fair
assessment
yeah
because
it
it
it
shows
the
role
that
the
kankakee
county
has
this
board
as
management
of
our
fiscal
systems
within
the
county
and
our
role
in
creating
a
fiscal
policy
and
procedure
manual
that
we
updated
in
2019
to
include
all
of
the
accounting
going
to
the
auditor's
office.
So
I
wanted
to
mention
that
as
an
example
of
what
the
management
slash
ministerial
roles
are,
we
are
management.
E
Others
are
ministerial
on
auditing
and
executing
the
management
of
those
systems,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
the
board
was
clear
on
their
role,
because
some
out
there
have
purported
that
there's
something
else
going
on
when
it's
exactly
the
opposite,
and
it's
on
the
record
of
what
is
supposed
to
be
happening
here
and
currently
not
happening
from
the
auditor's
office
at
their
own
choice.
So
I
just
want
to
mention
that.
Thank
you.
A
A
K
Well,
chairman
lear,
I'm
going
to
keep
it
short
and
sweet.
We
are
in
the
process
of
tax
collection,
as
many
of
you
know,
on
the
30th
is
the
end
of
the
first
installment
date,
and
we've
been
running
about
four
to
five
million
ahead
of
schedule
from
last
year,
which
is
a
sign,
so
I'm
hoping
that
our
collection
rate
this
year
will
be
higher
than
if
then
and
right
now
it
looks
like
that
might
be
the
case
as
well.
K
We've
had
probably
that
more
people
are
paying
off
sites,
so
at
banks
drive-throughs
by
mail
online
online.
It's
certainly
gone
up
and,
as
steve
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
do
the
first
distribution
after
the
fourth
of
july,
I'm
gonna
distribute
to
steve
around
the
25th
of
july.
If
that's,
okay
with
him,
that's
just
a
joke:
steve,
don't
don't
get
upset
I'll
I'll
distribute
the
first
week
of
july,
so
our
first
week
the
second
week.
That's
really
all
I
have
right
now.
Everything
is
going
fine
in
our
office
with
tech
collection.
A
L
Our
our
traffic,
I
think
I
reported
to
the
criminal
justice
committee
about
the
traffic
coming
in
and
out
of
the
courthouse,
as
as
we
reopen,
it
has
increased
significantly,
which
is
a
good
thing,
because
catching
up
with
the
backlog
at
the
courthouse
is
going
to
be
difficult
and
the
increased
traffic
is
a
plus,
because
that
means
things
are
happening.
So
I
guess
that's
a
plus
and
other
than
that.
Everything's
pretty.
G
L
L
We
would
never
discourage
anybody
from
trying
to
do
what
they
want
to
do
personally
and
to
keep
them
local,
and
I've
argued
since
I
was
hired
at
the
jail
back
in
1995
that
anybody
who
can
work
in
that
jail
can
work
the
street
significantly
easier,
because
I
think
they
have
the
experience
in
knowing
who
those
are
in
custody
and
and
knowing
the
games
and
knowing
what
they're
about
and
knowing
who
their
family
is
knowing
who
their
acquaintances
are
so
yeah.
It's
it's
not
uncommon.
A
L
L
F
F
L
F
K
L
A
L
Yeah,
as
as
this
committee
recalls-
and
I
know
the
full
board
approved
it
last
month,
I
came
to
you
with
the
bids
that
we
received
from
two
vendors
one
who
bid
everything
that
we
had
asked
for
and
another
that
did
not.
So
there
was
really
one
qualified
bidder
in
those
bids
there
were.
There
were
three
bids
of
which
I
gave
you
as
a
committee.
L
One
of
the
things
that
I
did
not
do
for
obvious
reasons
when
you
hear
this
and
I
don't
want
you
to
be
shocked.
Just
let
me
finish
before
you
get
before
you
fall
out
of
your
chair.
The
the
last
bid
was
for
the
in-car
computer,
the
laptop
itself,
which
are
fairly
expensive.
Every
car
we
have
has
one
every
marked
car
we
have
has
one.
L
L
So
in
the
course
of
last
week.
I
think
it
was
last
week
so
that
the
total
of
those
three
now
would
have
been
487
thousand
dollars,
almost
half
a
million
dollars,
318
000
of
which
you
approved.
We
did
get
notified
last
week
that
we
received
a
grant
for
276
620
from
the
illinois
law
enforcement
training
and
standards
board.
L
L
Grant
money
once
we
find
out
through
some
other
grants,
we've
applied
for
amy
ludke
is
the
one
who
submitted
the
grant
to
the
illinois
law
enforcement
training
at
sanders
board.
We
just
got
notified
last
week
and
and
I'm
not
sure
if
the
state
understands
how
county
finances
work,
but
part
of
the
stipulation
of
this
grant
was
that
we
had
to
have.
L
We
had
to
have
the
invoice
by
june
30th
and
we
have
to
have
it
paid
by
july
31st,
which
is
now
at
210
000,
if
you
guys
approve
it.
So
so
they're
literally
asking
us
to
take
care
of
this
in
a
timely
manner.
Now
steve,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
works,
for
your
collect
your
cash
flow
but
and
the
other
issue
that
affects
our
laptops
in
the
cars.
L
Some
of
you
may
know
that
the
federal
government
uses
ucr
reports,
uniform
crime
reports,
every
police
agency
in
the
country
submits
information
through
the
uniform
crime
reports.
Well,
as
the
federal
government,
often
as
the
federal
government
often
does
they've
now
changed
this
system
to
what's
called
neighbors.
L
L
F
E
F
I
N
L
H
E
L
L
We
are
waiting
on
some
price
quotes
to
see
what
exactly
we
need,
but
it
may
so.
It
may
be
almost
too
expensive
not
to
make
it
worth
it
so,
but
we
are
getting
some
prices
if
we
can
do
it
I'll
bring
it
back
to
the
right
people
and
but
right
as
of
right
now
our
criminal
justice
is
going
to
have
to
be
here
unless
you
get
rid
of
zoom.
A
A
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
lear,
so
I
had
noticed
at
one
point
that
we
have
had
an
atm
in
the
first
floor
and
normally
those
agreements
include
a
a
revenue
sharing
agreement
with
the
host
us
being
the
host.
That
machine
did
not,
and
so
I
told
wes
that
I
was
going
to
find
a
vendor
who
would
share
the
atm
fees
with
the
county
because
we
need
to
address
revenue
at
all
possibilities.
E
Unfortunately,
the
current
vendor
decided
to
come
and
pick
it
up
like
about
two
and
a
half
weeks
ago.
When
we
told
them
there
was
going
to
be
a
later
date,
so
I
had
to
get
a
machine
in
there
right
away,
because
people
need
to
have
access
to
that
cash
if,
if
they
so
need
it
for
the
the
people
there,
so
the
agreement
is
in
front
of
you.
E
The
machine
is
sitting
downstairs
because
I
had
to
get
something,
and
so,
if
we
don't
want
to
have
an
atm
or
don't
want
to
use
this
company
or
the
dollar
per
transaction
is
not
acceptable.
It's
not
going
to
solve
any
problems,
but
it's
definitely
not
going
to
contribute
to
any
problems
either.
I
will
say
that
the
if
they
don't
want
to
pay
the
dollar
there's
an
atm
right
across
the
street
at
the
bank,
so
it
is
a
convenience
and
for
that
I
think
it's
worthwhile.
So
you.
I
A
E
Just
to
let
people
know
it's
a
two-year
agreement,
so
when
the
board
changes,
you
know
the
you
know
it's
a
series
of
two
years
agreements,
the
other
one.
I
could
find
no
agreement.
There
was
no
contract
or
anything.
So
that's
why
it
was
hey,
come
pick
it
up
and
just
got
picked
up
sooner
than
we
wanted.
B
A
P
P
P
When
court
view
is
not
current
with
minutes
and
court
dates,
the
system
breaks
down
public
defender
and
probation
cannot
serve
their
client.
The
state's
attorney
victim
witness
coordinators
cannot
serve
their
people
due
to
covid.
We've
had
to
reschedule
thousands
of
cases
from
january
to
the
end
of
may,
we've
rescheduled
49
000
cases,
while
continuing
to
maintain
the
kingflows
covent
has
put
my
office
further
behind
than
ever
in
late
april.
The
chief
judge
strongly
urged
me
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
get
caught
up.
P
In
the
month
of
may,
my
staff
stepped
up
and
performed
400
hours
of
overtime.
It
did
put
a
dent
in
the
backlog,
but
we're
not
there.
Yet
I'm
requesting
three
clerks
dedicated
to
the
court.
The
average
wage
of
those
who
performed
the
400
hours
in
may
was
about
17.50
cents
an
hour.
The
overtime
rate
would
be
26.25
per
hour,
which
was
an
average
of
around
10
500.
For
the
month
of
may,
a
new
hire
is
right.
P
Around
13.50
per
hour
400
hours
over
that
month
would
equate
to
a
little
over
three
clerks
at
35
hours
per
week.
We
don't
have
enough
bodies
to
cover
all
the
courts
and
the
visiting
judges.
I
went
to
court
last
week
myself
for
the
animal
control
court
call
and
there
were
over
362
tickets
for
that
court
call.
P
H
P
P
Correct,
but
we
would,
we
still
need
the
body,
so
that's
the
problem.
Getting
caught
up
is
one
thing,
but
then
carrying
on
is
another
the
way
the
court
calls
are.
The
traffic
court
calls
run
about
3
000
tickets
a
month
and
those
clerks
don't
have
time
to
get
their
work
done
and
then
they're
running
off
to
do
the
misdemeanor
court.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
have
a
dedicated
clerk
to
the
misdemeanors
alone.
P
That's
the
way
the
courts
have
set
it
up
currently
now
they've
taken
most
of
the
misdemeanors.
If
they're
not
related
to
any
felony
cases,
the
misdemeanors
are,
in
their
own
separate
court,
call
and
they're
with
the
traffic
judges.
Well,
the
the
traffic
clerks
can't
keep
up
with
both
court
calls
it's
just
too
much.
P
The
with
a
morning
call
is
more
than
enough
for
one
person
and
that
person
would
then
have
to
go
down
and
and
take
the
minutes,
but
then
doesn't
have
time
to
get
anything
into
the
computer.
We've
been
borrowing
from
peter
to
pay.
Paul
throughout
all
of
this,
with
staff
we've
had
people
that
will
at
least
help
get
court
dates
into
the
computer
when
they're
caught
up
with
their
work.
But
you
know
you're
pulling
people
off
of
their
desk
to
do
this
and
then
other
things
are
being
left
behind.
P
We've
had
expungements
are
becoming
a
bigger
process
with
the
I'm
down
here
in
springfield
and
they're
talking
a
lot
about
more
expungements
and
that
we
have
an
expungement
clerk.
But
if
she's
trying
to
help
with
court
calls
she's
not
getting
the
expungements
done,
the
state
police
sends
down
many
many
many
requests
for
information
that
we
have
a
clerk
that
does
that.
Well,
if
she
drops
what
she's
doing
to
go
to
court,
then
she's
not
providing
the
service
to
the
state
police
to
get
the
information,
so
people
can
get
their
foid
cards.
