Respectfully submitted, Tiffany O’Brien Tentative Minutes of the Ogle County Liquor Commission Meeting
April 19, 2016
Call Meeting to Order Chairman Gouker calls the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. Present: Chairman Kim Gouker, John Finfrock and Greg Sparrow. Others: States Attorney Eric Morrow, County Clerk and Recorder Laura J. Cook and Deputy Clerk Jennifer Albright.
Approval of Minutes: April 21, 2015 and June 16, 2015 Mr. Sparrow moves to approve the Liquor Commission Meeting minutes of April 21, 2015 and June 16, 2015. Motion seconded by Mr. Finfrock. Motion carries.
New Business: Review and Approve 2016 – 2017 Ogle County Liquor Licenses Mr. Finfrock confirms that Edgewood Golf Club II is reapplying for their license. Laura Cook stated Grubsteakers is the one license has not been paid as the business owner is still waiting to open after reconstruction from damage caused by the tornado in April 2015. When the restaurant opens the license fees will be prorated by the month, not by the day.
Mr. Finfrock asked if background checks are run on the renewal applicants, those who currently hold an Ogle County liquor license, and, as stated by Laura Cook, currently there is no verbiage contained within the renewal application to allow the county to perform background checks on the applicants. Discussion followed. Mr. Finfrock asked SA Morrow to review the background check policy on renewal applicants that other counties follow. Potentially the renewal application would need to be modified to include such verbiage to allow for background checks to be performed.
SA Morrow stated that currently there is an applicant who has a pending felony charge against them, but since they are not convicted of this charge the Liquor Commission cannot take any action.
Dixon Elks Page Park currently has two new applicants. One applicant had previously been on the board while the other is new. The State’s Attorney and Sheriff’s Department completed background checks on both new applicants.
Mr. Sparrow made a motion to approve all renewal applications, including the two new applicants for the Dixon Elks Page Park, and pending payment of Grubsteaker’s restaurant once they reopen. Mr. Finfrock seconded the motion.

Lynn Knodle of Serenity Hospice and Home – Lynn Knodle reported as follows:
• The Shed has scheduled several art/craft workshops, taught by area artists/crafters. The individuals who participate in these sessions pay a small fee for their supplies and get to take their craft home. The first session had 14 people in attendance. We continue to reach more individuals in the community than anticipated. In addition to bereaved, the center services, Veterans, adults who are lonely, and those just wanting to give back to their community. • Cathy was asked to help at Sinnissippi with their substance abuse support groups every couple of months. The facilitator said that many of their clients have unresolved grief issues and thought she might be able to help. • Support groups are going well even with the cold weather. • Another successful Angel Ball was held in December with proceeds in excess of $7000 benefitting VOP and Serenity Hospice and Home. • Received many nice donations and many items from our wish list during the holidays. • Continue to work with the Rochelle Area Community Foundation to determine how area nonprofits can collaborate to best meet the needs of our communities. • We continue to be busy at the Serenity Home. In 2015, our average daily census for the home increased from 3 in 2014 to 5 in 2015. Our average daily census in the community increased from 55 to 58.
3 • Due to our continued growth we have added an additional social worker. She began her employment in Mid-January. • Did a presentation to the Byron Rotary on The Shed and the VOP Baling program?
Patti Mook of Easter Seals Children’s Development Center – Patti Mook reported as follows:
Helped with the toy distribution through Earth Angels in Mt. Morris. Over 300 families received our Easter Seals brochure along with the 708 brochure.
We received 8 food baskets that were distributed to families in Ogle County; 5 in Byron and 3 at the toy distribution.
We hosted a Christmas party complete with Santa Claus. 11 people from Ogle County attended. One of the families that attended from Byron expressed an interest in adopting a child with special needs. We made a referral to CHASI which specializes in foster care for children with special needs.
The Rochelle Parent Group did a bowling social in January. We continue to also support the Rochelle Parent Group at their monthly meetings. They meet the first Monday of each month at Changes Counseling Center in Rochelle.
We are co-hosting a bullying prevention training with Florissa Pediatric Development Center in Dixon on February 23, 6:00-8:00 PM with a meet and greet at 5:30. Family Matters will be providing the training.
Patrick Phelan of Sinnissippi Centers, Inc – Sinnissippi Centers Report to the Ogle County Mental Health Board February 4, 2016 • The state budget situation continues to be very problematic for SCI. At this time, we have approximately $1.6 million in outstanding receivables, largely for Department of Human Services grants. Medicaid payments are coming in a timely fashion. State fiscal concerns have also led to additional losses in funding, most recently with Lee County being forced to terminate their Redeploy Illinois grant due to lack of payment. This will cost SCI approximately $40,000/year. From everything we have heard, the outlook for FY ’17 is even more dim, with additional cuts and loss of programs a high probability. • SCI has been asked to consider taking over school based programming terminated by LSSI (in Rock Falls and Dixon). We are currently considering how resources might be allocated to meet those needs. • We will soon begin the provision of Adolescent Intensive Outpatient groups for youth in Ogle County in partnership with Focus House. • SCI is also beginning to provide enhanced services for transition-age youth in Ogle County as a result of a federal grant applied for by the Illinois Department of Alcohol and Substance Abuse. SCI is one of 4 pilot sites in the state for this initiative. 4 • The CTC program will be holding its inaugural “Ugly Prom” on February 20 at the Elks Club in Dixon. • Larry Prindaville is retiring after 44 years of service at SCI. A reception will be held on February 12, at 2:00 at the Route 2 Sinnissippi location. A second reception will occur that same night at 5:00 at the Brandywine on Route 2 in Dixon.
Jeremy Hooker of Lutheran Social Services of Illinois –
LSSI has experienced a significant reduction in programs and workforce. A letter had been received regarding program closures, and confusion existed about what programs were funded by the board, and if they had been eliminated. An explanation was provided of the programs that were still functioning, and a notification was provided that a full list of program closures and additional details are available on the agency website, www.lssi.org The board informed LSSI that there had been a lot of information in the press about the closures, and it had indicated the entire Nachusa site was closed. It was recommended that LSSI provide a letter to the board about the current status of 708 funded programs, and that letters also be provided as a “letter to the editor” of the three Ogle county newspapers. LSSI agreed to provide a letter. A financial report was provided to the board on the three funded program, LEAD, CCBYS, IPS. Two of the programs are receiving payments from the state, however CCBYS (Youth Services) has received no general revenue payments since July 1st.
Ruth Carter Director of Hope – Ruth Carter reported that HOPE of Ogle County had begun to receive state IDHS funds in January. Ruth reported how the SOS Campaign generated additional calls to state leaders and legislatures which she believed were helpful to help pass through Domestic Violence funding. We will continue to be conservative in our approach to next fiscal year’s funding and the possibilities of state cuts. HOPE provided shelter to 28 people though the month of January. 15 of the shelter clients were children. HOPE served over 30 families through the “adopt a family” program this December. Serenity Hospice and Home adopted two families this year as well as provided additional donations of shelter supplies and silent auction revenue. We are thankful for all those who contributed items for clients as well as financial donations through the holiday season.
The Rochelle Police Department held an Active Shooter training for HOPE staff this week. Staff learned additional response tactics as well as safety strategies.
This Saturday the 6th is the From the Heart Gala in Rochelle. Four social service agencies are the recipients of this gala each year. Ruth encouraged anyone person who was interested in attending to let her know and there was some time to register. Shining Star is one of the recipients of the gala this year and HOPE will be one next year. Brion Brooks of the Village of Progress – Brion Brooks reported that the Village of Progress, Inc. is working on starting up a local retail bakery in Oregon. The bakery would be run as a nonprofit and operate as a part of the Village. The aim – to provide employment and job training to men and women in the community with cognitive impairments. It’s hoped, if the project does launch, that the Village would work closely with OCEC to provide internships and training for transition age students.
5 VOP held its annual Christmas Wish List with the most successful response ever. Donations will help purchase needed items in the Village. The Village Attendance Grant program continues to grow, with over $7,000 contributed by individual donors during the Christmas season alone. Grants now help over a dozen men and women attend the Village on at least a part time basis. The Village is planning a bicycle ride this fall as a fundraiser. TOSOC (Tour Of Scenic Ogle County) will provide three routes of different lengths, followed by a BBQ lunch and dessert. The annual Christmas Party was a big hit again this year, with appearances by several musicians and Santa himself. There being no objection the meeting was adjourned.
The next meeting will be April 14, 2016 at the Village of Progress, 710 South 13th Street, Oregon, IL

3. New Business: • Presentation from Sikich – Julie Strahl & Rianne Idstein: Julie Strahl, HR Consultant from Sikich presents a draft of the Ogle County Personnel Policy Manual (Confidential Working Draft April 2016) to the members of the committee. Strahl discusses some changes to the manual: • Appendices’ have been incorporated with Policy language: i. Motor Vehicle Policy ii. Drug Policy • Access to the Buildings – This has not been included in this draft because she needs clarification. Strahl asks if all members have ID badges to access County Buildings. Acting County Engineer Jeremy Ciesiel, PE states the Highway Department does not have ID Badges;
• Tuition Reimbursement – County Clerk & Recorder Laura J. Cook and Treasurer John Coffman concur to have this removed as it is not in the budget.
• Incident Report: There was discussion about it not being included in the draft of the new Personnel Policy manual. Strahl states this manual only applies to employees of the Ogle County. It was stated the Department Heads need to refer to the Safety Manual that was adopted by the County Board.
• Complaint Form: To be used by a county employee to turn into the proper authority either the supervisor or Department Head. There was discussion of what a member of the public can use to complain about a county employee. It was stated the person should put something in writing to the appropriate Department Head.
• Signature for HR on forms: Finfrock states he has briefly looked at the document and states there is a Signature for HR which the county does not have. Strahl states this will need to be clarified by the committee as to who will be the contact person.
• Kenney asks for the committee members to review the document and write out any questions they may have.
• CIRMA Training: Kenney states there will be a CIRMA (Counties of Illinois Risk Management Association) Training session and he would like for someone from the committee to attend the training. Finfrock will look into his schedule.
• Telephone Etiquette for County Employees: Kenney would like for the county employees to answer the phone identifying the name of the person answering the call.

4. Old Business: • Review of Consultants Quarterly Findings - none • County Holidays Update: Kenney is still waiting to hear from Judge Hanson. • Recommendation for HR Consultant Projects for FY2016: i. There was discussion in regards to a salary study for the non-union employees and red lining of employees who are out of range of the salary scale. Coffman states if it is done for the non-union employees; it needs to be done for the union employees as well. ii. Kenney asks the committee if it would be out of line to ask the HR Consultant to take the Job Descriptions and compare it to the salary scale. Director of Court Services Ken Burn states he doesn’t think that was in the scale of work for this project.
5. Committee comments and suggestions: Heuer states the committee needs to designate who the HR contact point will be for the county.

7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION)
#1-16 SPECIAL USE - Mike Stukenberg, 7833 N. Columbine Rd., Forreston, IL; and STKE, LLC, %Steve Moring & Kevin Moring, 306 E. Main St., Forreston, IL for a Special Use Permit to allow a Class" Motor Carrier Facility in the AG-1 Agricultural District on property described as follows, owned by Mike Stukenberg and being purchased by STKE, LLC: Part of the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 34 Maryland Township 25N, R8E of the 4th P.M., Ogle County, IL, 6.28 acres, more or less Property Identification Number: Part of 02-34-200-002 Common Location: 11123 W. IL Rte. 72
Mr. Welty stated that at the last County Board meeting this petition was presented for approval with nine (9) conditions. Mr. Welty continued by stating that on that day, prior to the County board decision, he received a sketch of a revised container storage area from Steve Moring; at the County Board meeting, he made a motion to refer the petition back to this Committee for further review. Mr. Welty moves to open this petition up for discussion; seconded by Ms. Simms. The motion carried via voice vote.
Mr. Hopkins stated that he has been informed by the State's Attorney that he does not have to abstain from voting on this petition, as I have no monetary interest in it and no conflict of interest.
Mr. Welty stated that as of this morning, Steve Moring has informed Mr. Reibel that he would like to withdraw his revised site plan and proceed with the original petition that was approved with conditions from the ZBA. Mr. Reibel read the signed statement from Moring. Mr. Reibel then read the nine (9) conditions proposed by the ZBA and amended by the Supervisor of Assessments and Planning & Zoning Committee. Discussion ensued regarding water contamination concerns and who oversees this area. Mr. Colson stated that falls under the jurisdiction of Illinois EPA, and he feels the water issues have been addressed appropriately. Mr. Hopkins agreed.
Mr. Welty stated that he received some questions from a County Board member asking why this is not being rezoned to a business district. Mr. Reibel stated that a "Class"
Page -2- Motor Carrier Facility" is a listed Special Use within the AG-1 Agricultural District. With a special use, conditions can be applied to the use, whereas if a use is permitted in a business or industrial district, use conditions cannot be applied. In this way, it is advantageous to utilize the special use to regulate certain uses in the county.
Mr. Welty stated the next question asks how many trucks can be washed in the building. The answer was given last month and is as many as they want.
Mr. Welty stated the next question asks how many dumpsters will the pad hold. Mr. Reibel stated the allowable storage area, which is the pad of the southern-most building on the site after the building is removed, is approximately 40'x58' and they can store as many as they can fit on this area.
Mr. Welty made a motion to approve #1-16SU for Stukenberg/Moring with the nine (9) conditions that were previously read; seconded by Ms. Simms. Mr. Meyers asked for a roll call vote, the roll call being as follows: Colson - yes; Fritz: yes; Hopkins - yes; Janes - yes; McKinney - yes; Meyers - no; O'Brien - no; Simms - yes; Welty - no. Motion carried by a vote of 6 yes and 3 no.

Mr. Reibel stated I was informed that an email was sent to county board members regarding a gun range that was being operated near Rochelle without a special use permit.
