G
A
E
Okay,

First,
thank
you.
I
got
a
few
passments
this
morning.
The
first
one
is
for
our
the
county's
general
maintenance
for
2021.
This
is
payable
to
compass,
minerals,
america.
This
is
for
salt,
that's
been
purchased
between
january
20th
and
january
25th,
and
that
amount
is
sixty.
One
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
two
dollars
and
twenty
eight
cents
next,
is
for
kankakee
county's
general
maintenance
for
2021.
This
is
payable
to
gallagher
asphalt
corporation.
E
Next
is
for
kangaki
township,
section
21-05000
gm.
This
is
for
to
champion
salt
for
salt
that
was
delivered
to
the
township,
and
that
amount
is
one
hundred
ninety
eight
dollars
and
thirty
three
cents.
E
E
This
is
payable
to
engineering
resource
associates.
This
is
for
bridge
inspections
that
were
due,
and
I
think
it
was
for
december
and
january,
and
that
amount
is
one
thousand
five
hundred
eighty
eight
dollars
and
zero
cents.
A
C
E
Before
you
this
morning
is
a
is
a
document
called
a
border
bridge
agreement
between
kanke
county
illinois
in
lake
county
indiana.
There
are
three
bridges
on
the
border
between
illinois
and
indiana,
and
the
structures
belong
to
the
counties.
E
The
idot
central
bridge
office
and
federal
highway
administration
has
been
requesting
that
we
come
up
with
a
border
bridge
agreement
as
to
who
has
what
responsibilities
for
those
bridges
and
especially
inspection
the
we
did
pay
an
inspection
bill
here
for
our
bridges,
but
that
bridge
is
on
kankakee
county's
list
to
inspect,
and
it's
on
lake
county's
list
to
inspect
so
we're
both
inspecting
the
same
bridge.
E
So
to-
and
I
guess,
there's
been
occasions
not
with
us,
but
that
their
consultant
inspects
the
bridge
and
let's
say
they
give
it
a
six,
and
let's
say
our
consultant
gives
it
a
seven
well
they're
supposed
to
be
exactly
the
same,
so
they
only
want
one
entity
doing
the
inspections.
So
that's
what
this
agreement
is
about.
It
defines
who
and
and
what
things
each
county
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
now.
What
we
did.
E
This
only
includes
two
of
the
three
bridges,
because
we
all
know
the
the
river
bridge
is
still
up
in
the
air
as
to
what's
happening
with
it.
So
the
these
two
bridges
one
is
the
william.
The
williams
creek
bridge,
which
is
just
north
of
the
state
line
bridge
lake
county,
has
a
jurisdiction
authority
of
that
roadway.
E
So
between
lake
county
and
kaneki
county,
we
decided
that
they
would
get
that
bridge
and
then
the
other
bridge
is
on
the
singleton
bridge,
which
is
a
moments
township,
so
kankakee
county
is
going
to
take
maintenance
and
jurisdiction
and
inspection
of
that
bridge.
So
that's
what
this
agreement
spells
out
is:
who
does
what.
E
E
Oh
and
the
state's
attorney
did
review
this
document
and
give
gave
his
approval.
A
A
E
Everything
else:
yes,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
route
50
armored
road
update.
Okay,
we've
been
working
on
this
for
a
while
with
idot,
and
I
did
receive
a
pre-final
set
of
plans
and
I
I
thought
we
would
just
throw
up
one
page
of
the
400
pages
of
the
plans,
but
basically
it's
kind
of
a
messy
document
there,
but
that
particular
document
kind
of
shows
the
intersection
and
basically,
what
what
idot
has
planned
is
two
through
lanes
in
every
direction.
E
A
multi-use
path,
sidewalks
lighting,
curb
gutter,
storm,
sewer,
sidewalk
road,
widening
signing,
but
idot
is
taking
care
of
most
all
the
construction
items
with
idot.
They
do
not
pay
for
lighting
and
normally
they
would
not
pay
for
the
traffic
signals,
but
because
the
each
leg
of
that
intersection
is
currently
a
state
route
from
going
west.
E
It's
an
unmarked
state
route
to
the
bridge
that
goes
over
the
radio
tracks
and
it's
an
unmarked
state
route
from
route
50
to
lock
drive,
which
is
where
the
stake
and
shake
is
so
when
they
do
this
construction,
they
want
someone
to
take
over
jurisdiction.
So
they're
doing
all
this
construction,
they're
gonna
pay
for
it.
They're
gonna
pay
for
the
traffic
signals,
but
they
will
not
pay
for
the
lighting
and
they
will
pay
for
80
of
the
sidewalk.
E
So
there
will
be
some
local
match
in
it.
But
this
is
a
pre-final
set
of
plans.
Everything
is
seems
to
be
going
smoothly.
We
are
working
with
the
communities
to
get
these
things
worked
out,
but
I
just
wanted
to
show
and
update
everybody.
We
are
I
mean
it's
looking
like.
We
could
have
a
letting
this
summer.
G
I
do
I
just
want
to
okay.
Do
some
of
this
mark
mark
mentioned.
There's
some
road
use
agreements
that
we're
working
on
we've
had
I've
had
some
pre-meetings
with
the
municipalities
involved.
You
know
through
the
through
the
I
don't
know
about
eight
year
effort
of
mayor
shore.
You
know
to
kind
of
keep
reminding
people
that
this
needed
to
be
done.
G
I
want
to
thank
him
to
get
for
getting
to
this
point
along
with,
obviously
the
transportation
department
and
mark
with
all
the
data
that
that
documented
beyond
the
growth
at
csl,
that
this
was
the
worst
corner
in
the
county
in
terms
in
terms
of
traffic,
not
just
the
exit
of
csl,
that's
being
addressed
by
the
stoplight,
but
just
in
volume
and
time
waiting
everything
it's
going
to
be
a
massive
intersection
that
should
serve
the
county
for
quite
a
long
time,
and
you
know
so
with
kind
of
the
cat
out
of
the
bag.
G
Yesterday,
so
to
speak
in
the
newspaper,
I
thought
it
was
a
good
chance
to
at
least
let
everybody
know
that
you
know
we're
not
to
the
finish
line
where
I'd
say
we're
on
the
two-yard
line.
Probably,
but
we
wanted
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
if,
if
this
project
goes
off
enough
at
all
possible,
we
could
do
it
when
the
bridge
is
being
done
over
the
railroad
tracks.
That's
going,
obviously
the
west
leg
as
we'll
call
it.
G
You
know,
it'd
be
better,
as
they
say
to
pull
the
band-aid
off
at
once
than
to
have
three
years
or
four
years
of
construction
back-to-back
is
just
have
half
of
it
shut
down,
end-to-end
and
then
half
of
it
shut
down
end-to-end
in
theory.
So
that's
after
talking
with
the
experts
on
that.
That's
the
best
way
to
go,
and
I
think
the
public
would
much
prefer
not
to
have
to
detour
that
whole
route
for
four
years.
That
would
be
a
mess.
G
So
you
know
the
mayor
mayor
bradley
has
been
obviously
on
board
with
this
we're
we're
all
it's
encouraging,
because
you've
got
a
township
two
municipalities
and
in
the
the
csl
and
then
the
north
sector,
where
denny's
is
and
other
things,
that's
all
county
area.
So
obviously
we're
the
lead
agency.
But
you
can't
do
any
of
this
without
partners
and
it's
been
everybody
pulling
on
the
same
end
of
the
rope
on
this.
G
The
the
common
look
and
feel
is
something
we're
all
committed
to,
so
we
don't
want
different,
colored
traffic
lights
in
different
directions
because
there's
different
jurisdictions
out
there.
So
you
know
we.
We
have
this,
this
regional
approach
to
this
corner
as
a
for
lack
of
a
better
term
crossroads
of
the
county.
You
know,
there's
all
these
different
entities
that
meet
and
it's
it's
nice
to
see
when
things
work
and
work
together,
we
wouldn't
be
there.
We've
obviously
had
some
legislative
help.
G
We
had
nine
and
a
half
million,
I
believe,
or
9.8
million
in
the
capital
bill.
That's
money,
I'm
told,
is
there
that
can't
be
swept
or
won't
be
swept,
but
you
know
obviously
we'll
reserve
judgment
until
that
day
comes
when
the
first
check
is
cut,
but
once
they
break
ground
up,
we
can
probably
you
know,
wipe
the
sweat
off
our
bra
a
little
bit
on
that
aspect
of
it.
G
But
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
wonderful
addition
to
the
infrastructure
of
the
county,
and
I
couldn't
thank
these
other
leaders,
especially
mayor
shore
and
watson,
and
and
obviously
the
township
has
been
more
than
accommodating
in
this
effort.
Bourbon
a
township
so
more
to
come,
but,
as
I
call
it
mark
is
kind
of
our
gc
on
this
project
for
the
county,
because
he
actually
knows
what
he's
talking
about,
and
he
tells
me
what
I
should
be
talking
about,
but
as
far
as
the
technical
side
of
it.
G
But
him
and
ben
wilson
have
been
kind
of
bird
dogging
this
for
the
county,
and
I
couldn't
tell
you
how
happy
I
am
that
we're
at
this
point
that
hopefully
these
bids
can
get.
Let
that's
what
we're
shooting
for.
H
All
right,
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
facility
do
report.
For
the
month
of
january,
we
had
104
work
orders
in
the
system.
Moving
on
to
the
financial
report
that
you
have
in
front
of
you,
there
really
not
a
whole
lot
to
discuss
there.
You
can
see
we're
a
little
bit
behind
where
we
were
at
this
time.
Last
year,
significant
reduction
in
miscellaneous
services,
which
is
line
item
56400,
that's
going
to
be
mostly
outside
repairs
by
contractors.
H
H
That
was
primarily
the
improvements
here
to
the
front
door
at
189
and,
like
I
said,
we
discussed
that
you
can
see
line
item
52,
800,
1107,
year-to-date
versus
489.02,
that's
due
to
the
not
having
the
telephones
anymore,
which
we
discussed
at
last
month's
meeting
or
even
previous
to
that
we
did
away
with
the
phones
for
the
employees.
So
that's
the
savings.
You
can
see
there
and
that's
about
it.
So
if
there's
any
questions
on
the
financial
report,
I'm
happy
to
take
them.
G
All
right,
I
have
a
question.
Yes,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
year
to
date.
Comparisons
are
some
sometimes
misleading,
because
you
never
know
when
the
wheels
are
going
to
come
off
so
to
speak.
But
what's
your
assessment
of
where
we're
at
in
that?
In
that
sense,
do
you
you
do
you
see
anything
that
that
may
be
quarter
by
quarter
might
be
a
good
comparison,
but
month
to
month
is
tough.
What
do
you
see
anything
odd
or
anything
you?
Let
us
know
about.
H
Not
at
this
time,
I'll
have
some
stuff.
When
I
go
through
my
building
report,
we've
had
some
expenses
out
at
jcdc
they're,
going
to
be
coming
through
just
going
through
some
of
this
stuff.
Here,
okay,
we've
got
soft
start
motor,
which
we
discussed
about
the
elevator
at
the
old
jail
with
the
generator.
So
that's
going
to
be
coming
through
next
week,
but,
like
I
said
I
can
touch
on
more
of
that
sort
of
stuff.
When
I
go
through
my
building
report,
but
nothing
glaring
that
I
see
coming
down
the
line.
H
Okay,
well
moving
on
to
the
building
report,
first
and
foremost,
snow
and
lots
of
it.
So
I
mean
we've
burned
through
three
pallets
of
salt
that
we
use
for
the
sidewalks
and
steps
at
various
buildings
throughout
the
county
and
then
overtime
overtime
is
going
to
be
significant
with
the
amount
of
snowfall
that
we've
had.
H
I
was
wondering:
do
we
need
to
there's
two
items
on
the
agenda
for
the
basement
space
space
plan
and
the
elevator
update?
Is
it
okay?
If
I
discuss
those
inside
of
my
building,
update
okay?
So
what
I'll
do
then?
The
the
elevator
update
at
189
I'll
go
ahead
and
discuss
that
now
that's
on
the
agenda
and
then
the
basement
courthouse
plan
I'll
discuss
that
inside
of
my
courthouse
update
here
in
a
minute,
so
just
so
everybody's
clear
first
things.
H
First,
here
the
elevators
which
have
been
carrying
on
for
some
time
here
now:
we've
finalized
our
agreements
with
kone,
elevator
and
psi.
They
were
both
the
low
bidders
on
the
work
that
needs
to
be
performed
for
the
elevators.
So
that's
been
done.
I've
been
in
communication
with
the
insurance
company.
They
have
both
of
those
quotes.
H
H
So
that's
really
all
I
have
on
the
elevator
update
it's
moving
forward.
It
can't
happen
soon
enough
and
I'm
doing
all
I
can
to
continue
to
push
that
forward.
Leds
there's
been
some
discussion
lately
about
doing
some
led
light
bulbs
here
in
this
building.
Lori
gadboy
had
brought
it
up
to
me
that
she
actually
went
out
and
bought
a
couple
on
her
own
and
put
them
in
and
there's
no
denying
that
the
lights
look
better.
H
The
the
you
know
for
the
working
environment,
it's
much
nicer
and
not
only
the
the
energy
savings
would
probably
be
significant
as
well.
So
I'd
had
some
discussions
with
the
chairman
this
past
week.
What
I'm
going
to
work
on
as
soon
as
I
can
get
a
minute
which
it
may
not
be
for
until
next
week
is
putting
together
a
cost
benefit
analysis.
The
best
I
can
because
when
we
buy
our
t8s,
the
old
t8
fluorescents,
we
buy
them
in
bulk
and
we
used
to
buy
them
for
all
of
our
buildings.
H
So
you
know
the
jail
downtown
jcdc
here
everywhere
we
buy
in
bulk
and
we
store
them
here
and
as
they
go
in
so
it
may
be
difficult
for
me
to
really
zone.
In
this
I
mean
I
might
have
to
go
and
count
every
fixture
in
this
place
and
multiply
that
times
how
many
t8
fluorescents
we
would
use
in
a
year
versus
the
leds.
H
But
that's
something
that's
come
up
that
I
want
to
at
least
let
the
committee
be
aware
of.
Do
you
have
anything
more?
You
want
to
add
on
that
chairman.
G
Sure
yeah
the
the
request
came
in
and
while
you
know
obviously
I
do
agree
that
does
look
better
in
there,
especially
people
that
are
searching
through
the
old
record
books
in
the
recorder's
office.
So
if
it
was
just
a
one-off,
you
know
this
committee
said
we
don't
want
to
do
led
projects
in
this
building
specifically
voted.
Not
to
do
it,
and
so
that's
why
we
had
to
bring
it
back
here.
G
So
that's
why
I
asked
wes
to
do
a
cost
benefit,
so
we
can
say:
will
we
save
money
in
the
long
run,
if
we
were
to
work
through
the
the
bulbs
that
we
have
and
start
to
transition
those
out
on
a
regular
schedule,
because
now
we
also
have
a
lot
of
more
inventory,
because
we
just
took
all
those
bulbs
out
of
other
places
and
other
buildings.
So
again
we
don't
want
to
be
caught
with
dead
inventory
that
we're
not
going
to
use
that's
a
waste.
So
how
you
know,
what's
the
transition
on
this?
G
What
would
it
cost?
Maybe
we
have
you
know
this
is
your
year.
This
is
your
your
next
year
over
four
years,
we
changed
this
building
on
the
people
that
want
leds,
because
that
there's
an
outlay
of
money.
It's
not
like
this
other
program
where
they
basically
covered
that
cost
of
changing
out,
and
then
we
basically
pay
for
it
with
savings
over
the
years
on
our
electric
bill
that
doesn't
exist
in
this.
So
it's
all
new
money.
H
And
to
add
on
that
I
have
a
decent
supply
of
the
old
t8
fluorescent
bulbs.
We
kept
a
good
amount
of
them
because
all
the
ones
that
came
out
of
jcdc,
which
there
were
thousands
we
kept
a
good
portion
of
that.
So
I
have
a
pretty
good
stockpile
of
the
fluorescent
t8s
on
hand.
So.
A
What
else
is
there
any
ways
to
do
some
kind
of
recycling
when
it
comes
to
the
old
ones,.
H
I
don't
believe
so
I
mean
those
old
t8s
are
they're
really
I
mean
they're
cheap,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
going
with
the
leds.
So
you
can,
we
usually
get
pretty
good
deals
and
I
usually
have
suppliers
calling
me
saying:
hey:
do
you
still
use
these
old
t8s,
because
a
lot
of
the
other
buildings
have
gone
leds
so
as
far
as
a
recyclable
value
on
a
light
bulb,
I
don't
I.
I
don't
believe
that
would
be
very
significant.
H
Okay,
all
right
well
moving
on,
or
is
there
any
other
comment
on
that
miss
out
some.
C
Yes,
would
our
pace
that
we
discussed
in
the
meeting
on
tuesday
the
pace
agreement
helped
with
this,
since
we
would
be
upgrading
to
energy
efficiency.
G
H
Okay,
moving
on
we'll
go
over
to
the
courthouse
first
item
I
got
there
is
with
the
snow.
I
got
a
call
from
the
city
this
week
regarding
when
we
plow
the
courthouse,
drive,
there's
really
nowhere
to
put
the
snow.
H
There's
sidewalks
on
the
south
of
the
drive,
there's
sidewalks
on
the
north
side
of
the
drive,
there's
parking
on
both
sides
of
the
drive,
so
there's
really
nowhere
to
pile
up
the
snow
at
the
courthouse.
So
what
we've
done
for
literally,
as
I
understand
it,
15
to
20
years
is
the
snow
has
been
pushed
onto
indiana
avenue
and
harrison
avenue,
and
it
takes
up
a
parking
spot
or
two.
I
was
called
by
the
city
this
week.
H
They
have
an
issue
with
that
and
I
wanted
to
just
make
sure
publicly
I
think,
mark
mark
had
his
guys
over
there
and
we
trucked
they
trucked
out,
I'm
not
sure
exactly.
I
was
watching
them.
It
was
several
truckloads
of
snow
that
we
moved
to
a
different
county
property
to
get
it
off
of
those
two
streets
so
mark.
Thank
you
for
again.
Thank
you
for
that.
H
We
had
a
minor
elevator
issue
at
the
courthouse.
As
well,
that
was
identified
and
repaired
within
a
few
days
should
be
at
no
expense
as
part
of
our
elevator
maintenance
agreement,
which
you
folks
are
familiar
with.
By
now.
We'll
talk
about
the
basement
space
plan
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
familiar,
we've
been
working
through
the
we
have
the
potential.
H
It
sounds
like
for
a
grant
for
some
improvements,
brick
and
mortar
type
improvements
at
the
courthouse,
and
we've
identified
the
basement
as
an
area
that
we
would
like
to
spend
some
money
because
of
issues
that
we
have
in
the
basement.
Regarding
access
regarding
jury
assembly
and
regarding
just
you
know,
space
needs
in
general
at
the
courthouse.
H
We've
met
with
chief
judge,
kramer
and
others,
and
the
biggest
issue
that
we
have
right
now
at
the
courthouse
is
jury
assembly
that
was
identified
as
issue
number
one
with
the
amount
of
people
that
we
have
in
the
jury
assembly
area.
So
I've
discussed
with
the
chairman
and
doug
bright,
our
architect
regarding
some
of
the
storage
areas
that
we
have
in
the
basement.
We've
got
sandy's
got
a
significant
amount
of
space
in
the
in
the
basement.
H
That's
utilized
for
storage
and
the
question
came
up-
you
know-
is
that
the
highest
and
best
use
of
that
space
in
the
courthouse
you
know
to
be
using
it
for
storage,
and
you
know.
Obviously
the
answer
is
no
excuse
me,
so
I
met
with
doug
bright
over
there.
We
took
a
lot.
H
We
took
a
look
at
together
with
the
chief
judge,
some
of
those
storage
areas
in
the
basement-
and
we
already
have
plans
from
I
think
maybe
to
2014-
is
that
accurate,
chairman,
close
we've
got
some
plans
from
2014
that
a
lot
of
this
work
has
already
been
done,
but
he
did
not
look
at
the
storage
areas
specifically
to
see
if
we
could
get
some
more
space
on
the
back
side
of
jury
assembly
and
then
there's
some
more
storage
in
the
northeast
corner
of
the
building
that
we
could
possibly
convert
to
open,
bullpen
type
office
area.
H
You
know
possibly
for
sandy's
group
or
other
folks,
but
long
story
short
as
long
as
we're
going
through
this
process
of
you
know
this
potential
grant
the
space
needs
down
there
expanding
jury
assembly.
You
know
we
all
thought
it
made
a
lot
of
sense
to
look
at
the
storage
areas
and
see
if
we
could
get
more
space
as
long
as
we're
doing
all
of
this,
does
it
make
sense
to
look
at
the
storage
areas
to
see
if
we
get
more
space
for
jury
assembly
and
possibly
some
office
areas
as
well.
H
So
what
I
have
like
I
said
the
plans
are
already
done,
but
I
met
with
doug
bright
and
he
offered
a
proposal
of
2500
bucks
to
look
at
those
storage
areas
and
see
what
we
can
do
with
them.
Can
we
get
more
space
in
jury
assembly?
Can
we
get
more
office
area
down
there
for
future
growth?
So
with
that
being
said,
what
are
our
thoughts
on
spending
2500
to
look
at
these
storage
areas
to
see
if
we
can
get
more
space
down
there?
H
D
H
Yeah
we've
discussed
that
there's
different
properties
different,
you
know.
Yes,
we
would
find
different
areas
and
sandy
is
even
talking
about
some
things
that
down
the
road
she
may
be
looking
at,
you
know
doing
some
digital
stuff
with
a
lot
of
her
files,
which
you
know,
I'm
not
going
to
really
comment
too
much
on
that,
because
it's
not
my
place.
But
to
answer
your
question:
yes,
we
have
space
where
they
could
move.
H
Well,
yeah,
that's
I
mean
not
only
for
social
distancing,
but
let's
hope
when
this
is
you
know
beyond
us,
jury
assembly
was
always
tight.
They
were
always
tight
in
there,
so
with
court
cases
on
the
rise.
I
believe
this
is
money
well
spent,
but
this
isn't
my
decision
to
make.
G
Chairman,
thank
you
to
that
end.
What
some
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
are
a
dedicated
entrance
into
jury
assembly,
so
people
don't
have
to
come
through
the
front
front
security.
There
will
be
security
going
into
jury
assembly,
a
series
of
lockers
for
people
to
either
bring
a
tablet
or
their
phone
because
you're
sitting
down
there
for
long
periods
of
time.
G
So
if
you
do
get
called
to
a
jury,
then
you
would
put
your
phone
in
your
your
your
bag
or
your
code
or
whatever
in
a
locker
and
then
go
through
security
to
come
upstairs
and
which
seems
like
that's
dedicated
toward
convenience
and
comfort
for
the
people
that
are
serving
on
a
jury
which
is
half
of
the
frustration
with
people.
You
know
I
would
say,
and
then
the
other
part
is
the
I
would
say,
35
year
old
plastic
chairs
in
there
that
are
very
uncomfortable
for
anybody.
Not
just
me.
G
Most
chairs
are
uncomfortable
for
me,
but
so
anyway,
the
the
the
grand
idea
here
is.
We
have
this
grant
opportunity
for
access
and
and
use
of
the
courthouse
if
the
money
ends
up
still
being
there,
and
this
committee
should
know
we're
not
going
to
spend
money
until
we
know
we've
actually
got
this
in
our
hand
when
they
say
it's,
we
have.
You
know
400
000,
on
a
grant
that
that
money
could
be
swept
at
some
point.
That's
not
like
the
road
project.
G
G
If
you
look
at
that
whole
project,
we
also
need
to
have
some
type
of
holding
in
the
basement
for
people
that
are
going
up
to
trial.
We
don't
want
them
sitting
in
the
hallways
as
much
as
possible
or
in
judges
chambers,
so
we're
working
with
the
judges
on
that
too,
because
you
have
to
come
up
with
a
system
to
get
them
up
and
down.
So
it's
a
it's
a
ongoing
process
that
that
would
be
pretty
much.
G
I
want
to
say
the
end
of
of
upgrades
at
the
courthouse,
but
it's
a
continuation
of
the
the
what
the
two-year
process
we've
had
on
actual
work
and
then
the
planning
that
went
on
for
a
couple
years
before
that.
So
I
hope
it
comes
to
fruition.
We're
we're
gonna
plan
like
it
is
gonna
happen
and
we're
really
close
on
the
drawings.
So
that's
what
this
2500
is
because
we
talk
about
prime
real
estate
to
for
storage.
We
shouldn't
put
that
in
the
in
the
basement
of
the
courthouse
that
could
be
off-site.
A
Okay,
all
right,
mr
duvall,
has
a
comment
back
there.
I
I
assume
that
this
won't
be
happening
right
away.
This
is
the
planning
stage,
the
area
that
you're
going
to
has
some
permanent
wiring
that
wires
the
whole
east
side
of
the
building.
H
I
I
heard
you
guys
talking
about
it
for
me
not
to
tell
you
during
that
would
be
wrong,
so
I'm
just
saying
when
you
take
it
and
I
assumed
you're
not
doing
this
overnight-
it's
planning
stage,
but
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
there
are
some
key
parts
that
would
take
sections
of
the
building
out.
If
you
did
move
it
wes
and
I
usually
talk
about
things
anyway,
but
since
you
guys
are
planning
I
wanted
to,
let
you
guys.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
would
make
the
motion
that
we
go
ahead
and
spend
that
money
having
been
a
juror
twice
recently
and
experienced
that
down
there,
it
needs
to
be
looked
at.
It
needs
to
be
addressed,
and
planning
is
always
a
good
thing.
H
G
Well,
no,
we
just
give
him
the
head
nod
and
then,
when
the
bill
comes,
it
means
2
500
as
well
within
his
budget.
So
it's
not.
We
don't
have
to
bid
it
out
so
he's
just
making
the
committee
aware
yeah
and
in
order
for
us
to
access
the
400
000,
we
at
least
need
to
say
yeah.
That's
reasonable,
move
ahead.
You
know
with
a
with
just
talking
to
the
committee.
H
Thank
you
just
a
couple
more
things.
As
far
as
the
grant
goes,
big,
thank
you
to
ben
who
just
walked
in
ben
has
been
assisting.
You
know
this,
the
the
grant
money.
It's
not
like
you
just
fill
out
a
one-pager
application
and
then
the
money
shows
up
at
the
door.
It's
very
involved.
You
know
I
looked
through.
It
did
the
best
I
could
with
it
and
he's
he's
assisting
and
then
chris
kerner
and
finance
is
assisting
as
well
with
the
budget
spreadsheet.
H
That's
about
a
20
tab
document
in
excel,
so
both
of
those
guys
are
working
together
with
me
and
I'm
going
to
meet
with
ben
after
this
meeting
we're
going
to
go
over
a
few
things
with
regards
to
the
project,
so
he
can
so
he'll
be
better
equipped
to
fill
out
some
of
that
paperwork.
So
thank
you
to
both
of
those
guys
last
thing
at
the
courthouse
we
have,
you
know
with
the
state's
attorney
that
has
continued
to
grow
up.
There.
H
We've
always
had
some
power
issues
in
the
state's
attorney's
office,
so
we
did
go
ahead
and
add
a
breaker
for
them
in
the
state's
attorney's
office
that
was
completed
a
few
weeks
ago
to
you
know
to
to
make
their
working
environment
a
little
bit
better
there
moving
on
annex
in
the
old
jail.
We
talked
at
this
committee
a
couple
times
about
the
soft
start
motor
on
the
elevator
at
the
old
jail.
H
That's
going
to
be
started
next
week
on
wednesday
elevator's
going
to
be
down
for
two
days,
wednesday
and
thursday,
and
if
you
recall
this
is
because,
when
the
we're
on
generator
power
and
that
old
elevator
fires
up
the
the
generator
bogs
down,
it
doesn't
shut
off,
but
it
struggles.
So
this
soft
start
motor
will
alleviate
that
and
let
the
systems
run
as
they
should
at
the
old
jail
we've
also
been
painting
or
we
haven't,
we've
been
buying.
H
Some
paint
and
corrections
has
been
doing
some
painting
over
there
as
well
to
spruce
the
place
up
a
little
bit.
That's
much
needed
public
safety.
Jcdc
andy
to
your
point,
you'd
asked
about
the
any
expenditures
coming
down
the
line.
We've
had
some
issues
out
there
with
our
kitchen
equipment,
the
conveyor
belt,
the
conveyor
motor
on
in
the
kitchen,
and
this
a
lot
of
these
components
out.
There
are
all
original
to
the
building
so
they're.
You
know
over
15
years
old,
a
lot
of
them.
H
So
it's
not
entirely
surprising
that
you
know
the
conveyor
belt
motor
went
out.
We
got
that
replaced.
It's
gonna
be
about
two
to
three
thousand
dollars
for
all
the
parts,
but
we
did
it
in-house.
We
were
able
to
do
that
with
our
staff,
so
we
didn't.
We
didn't,
have
to
call
anybody
from
any
outside
contractor
on
that,
so
I've
been
very
busy
between
the
elevators.
The
insurance
claim
the
grant
the
courthouse
plan
the
snow.
H
You
know
you
go
down
the
list.
You
know
it's
been,
it's
been
a
busy
couple
months,
so
you
know
thank
you
to
my
staff
for
what
they
do
and
then
obviously
the
assistants
and
the
folks
that
have
been
helping
out
with
some
of
this
other
stuff.
So
thank
you
to
mark
ben
chris
and
everybody
else.
So
that's
all
I
got
thanks
for
your
hard
work.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you-
and
this
is
really
more
for,
like
the
committee
to
chime
in
there's
a
couple
of
things
I
was
talking
to
wes
about
in
the
when
the
city
of
kankakee
called
us
about
the
the
the
snow
piles,
the
ones
that
we
haven't
heard
from
them
in
25
years
on
this
issue
right
out
of
the
blue.
G
We
do
so
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
spend
the
the
money
to
go
ahead
and
truck
that
snow
over
to
a
vacant
lot
down
the
street
that
we
own,
so
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
get
that
off
of
the
the
parking
space
for
them,
but
I
do
need
to
have
see
if
you
can
reach
out
and
see
what
the
committee
feels
about,
because
this
alley
out
here.
I
stopped
calling
the
city
a
couple
years
ago.
It
needs
to
be
completely
resurfaced
and
redone.
It's
a
hazard
out
there,
there's
potholes
in
it.
G
It's
cracked
people
are
tripping
and
falling
out
here.
I
don't
know
how
the
committee
feels
when
you
walk
across
that
parking
lot
or
that
alley,
but
it's
not
an
alley.
It's
a
road
and
I'll
get
to
that
in
a
second,
but
I
that
whole
thing
needs
to
be
fixed
by
the
city.
So
I
was
thinking
if
the
committee
sees
it.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
if
the
west
calls
gets
them
to
address
their
problems.
G
So
while
we
address
ours,
the
other
thing
associated
with
that
is
people
try
to
avoid
this
stoplight
by
turning
left
as
they're
heading
east
and
going
down
this
alley
about
40
miles
an
hour
yeah.
I
think
we
should
reach
out
to
idot
to
put
some
type
of
a
left
left
turn
island
or
something
out
here
that
says
no
left
turn
down
this
alley
and
shut
it
down,
because
what
they're
doing
is
they
see
that
lights,
red
and
they
just
zip
across
we've-
had
employees
hit
in
the
past?
G
And
now
it's
it's
time
to
address
what's
going
on
here,
so
I
think
that's
miss.
Mark
rogers
may
have
a
night
a
better
idea
on
this,
but
is
that
a
state
thing
because
court
street's
a
state
route?
I
don't
know
how
you
guys
feel
about
it,
but
I'm
dodging
cars
there
left
and
right
and
they're
all
from
the
left
side.
G
C
Yes,
I
agree
with
what
mr
wheeler
is
saying
and
the
other
end
of
the
alley
if
you're
exiting
on
the
north
end
of
the
alley,
the
pavement
has
huge
dips
and
hills
in
it,
and
it's
it's
awkward
at
best.
A
F
F
F
The
the
amount
itself,
I
think
is,
I
think
it's
800
is-
is
actually
under
that
under
that
legally
I
I
don't
find
that
it's
it's
a
problem
as
far
as
appearance
sake,
that's
of
course
up
to
the
up
to
the
board
as
to
how
you
feel
about
that.
But
legally,
there
is
not
a
problem
to
the
contract.
G
If
I
could,
I
just
I
want
to
there's
some
background
that
was
skipped
over
before
west
became
maintenance
director.
He
bid
and
won
the
contract
for
a
couple
of
vending
machines
and
what
and
again
the
amount
was
800
bucks
or
something
like.
G
It's
an
open
bid
process
and
we
just
had
another
one,
and
so
that's
what
I
think
john
is
speaking
to.
As
far
as
you
know,
it's
we're
not
even
close
to
any
thresholds
or
anything
like
that,
but
he
wanted
the
state's
attorney's
office
want
to
weigh
in
on
what
may
be
or
may
not
be
problems
with
the
situation.
Okay,.
A
So
is
the
committee
comfortable
with
continuing
with
this.
D
D
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion,
we
do
that,
I
don't
I
don't
see,
I
don't
haven't
heard
of
any
or
know
of
any
problems
that
we've
had
with
anything
that
the
vending
company
has
done
previously
in
the
past.
So
they
have
a
track
record
to
go
by
also.
A
B
G
Have
a
question
for
sure
mr
german,
the
owner
of
the
companies
listed
as
walt
andrews
on
this
bid,
but
I
thought
it
was
west.
It
is
west
yeah,
okay,
so
the
they're
in
good
standing
with
the
state.
F
Right
they
are,
they
are
in
good
standing
with
the
state.
As
far
the
corporation
is
in
good
standing
with
the
state.
The
the
owner,
pursuant
to
the
state
record,
shows
that
it's
west
okay.
