Mr. Keith: "It's being worked on at this time, Mel. You know, the road itself is in pretty good shape. We've got a problem right there with the vertical curve right at the east edge of the Sandy Ford Bridge and we've looked at it. We want to make sure that what we are going to do is going to better the problem without spending an awlful lot of money in that location, cause the existing road and the bridge are in pretty good shape, but we are putting the vertical curve in there to get the bump off the edge of the bridge and backing it off. We are going to have to go into the hill a little ways so the road will have to be closed for a short time so we are trying to come up with a good proposal and it will be included in the budget coming up." Mr. Novak: "Ok." Mr. Morandi: "Haven't you got that bridge in the five-year program? You usually plan through three years ahead." Mr. Keith: "The problem is not with the bridge, necessarily, Al. It's the approach where the bridge is like this, so it's not in the five-year program. This is not going to be a major improvement. It's going to be more of a maintenance

SEE RECORD BOOK 92, PAGES 229-232 REPORT: OVERTIME IN THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT Tony Condie, Sheriff of LaSalle County, addressed the board and reported as to why there has been extensive overtime in his department. A detailed report of the breakdown of overtime usage for the period commencing December 1, 1992 and ending May 9, 1993 was passed out to all the Board members. The total amount of overtime worked during this period was 2,408 hours. He explained the majority of overtime costs were mandated by meeting requirements set by statute and that the other overtime utilized was in providing sufficient personnel to meet the requirements of the LaSalle County Sheriff's

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Department. He feels the Department could substantially reduce the amount of overtime if their previous requests to the Finance Committee for additional personnel were approved.*** The following questions and responses followed: Mr. Madden: " When you set down and plan out your schedule for the day, what is the object of overtime in your mind when you talk about overtime?" Sheriff Condie: "When overtime comes up, Mr. Madden, it all depends if it is an accident that happens at the end of a shift. That stuff is all unforeseen. It is hard for us to turn around, and we do not schedule any kind of overtime. But, if things happen at the end of a shift and the officer is there handling it, he very well can't say, 'My time is up, I'm leaving.' You have to finish the accident, that is something you have to do. If it is an investigation, and we have had several of them....." Mr. Madden: "I think that, to a degree, that you have indicated what I wanted you to say and I have referred quite a bit to national labor manuals and their interpretation of overtime is that it is to allow for unforeseen emergencies." Sheriff Condie: "Yes, sir. But, sir, if you get into it, and I'm sorry, I'm not trying to interrupt you, but, if you get into it and when you look into that report, you'll see that our radio and our cooks are the two largest percentages of overtime used. It shows it right on the schedule." Mr. Madden: "I'm not challenging anything." Sheriff Condie: "I understand that, sir. I'm just trying to help clarify a point maybe." Mr. Madden: "How can you explain to me the gradual escalation that has taken place in the last two or three years in overtime itself and now, and I quote back to the enception of your time, May 19th, 1991, our overtime was $31,000. In May 1992, it was $57,000 odd dollars. In May of 1993, it's $73,000. There has been a gradual escalation and I don't see any tapering off, and I'm wondering where the end point is. In other words, I'm trying to say, do you have anything in mind that will tell this group what and where you are trying to get to? Is this something that we can never control?"

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Sheriff Condie: "Sir, the thing is, if you look at the County and the way the population is going up, rural residents in LaSalle County that depend on the sheriff's department for 24-hour patrol is 36,700. That takes in Lake Holiday, towns like Ransom and Rutland, that don't have police officers, so we have to go down and answer the calls. But those towns and places are going up. We have more subdivisions going up. We are getting more calls and getting more stuff that is coming into the county where we have to get out and handle it." Mr. Madden: "All right, if you are out handling it, how many cars have we got on I-80?" Sheriff Condie: "Right now, sir, we don't have any. When we have cars on I- 80, Mr. Madden, our overtime on I-80 did not cost us any overtime. I can get that information for you and I will bring it to you." Mr. Madden: "What you are saying is that when we are on the road on I-80, it doesn't cost us anything." Sheriff Condie: "No. When our cars were out there on the interstate, and what you are talking about is the drug team that we had out there, that did not cost us overtime. There was no overtime put in out there." Mr. Freebairn: "It created overtime." Sheriff Condie: "No, sir. Never." Mr. Madden: "I don't see how it failed to create it if the people were working it." Sheriff Condie: "People were working, but they were still working their jobs and still handling their calls." Mr. Franzetti: "On their regular eight hours, right?" Sheriff Condie: "Yes, sir." Mr. Madden: "Many of my constituents have called me and my questions are as a result of that, and I cannot ignore the situation." Sheriff Condie: "Yes, sir, I understand that, and when they call you I wish you would come down and we could sit down and talk and try to straighten it all out."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Mr. Madden: "I rely alot on reports and I rely alot on what I have heard and I rely mainly on, when I get something like this we all got today, it can look good, or it can look bad. At any given period, I am willing to grant you that things can change, but if the gradual escalation that has taken place in the last two years continues to go, where will this county figure we are going to end up at?" Sheriff Condie: "It's hard. If everybody had the answers, who would know. Do you put on more people to try and cut down on the overtime, and I understand that it is going to add to the budget, because you have got to pay the deputies, you've got to pay for the cars, and you have got to do the rest of the stuff, and I understand that. I'm a taxpayer, too. But, the thing is, what is the answer? We are all trying to find the answer. Every one of us sitting here including all office holders are trying to find out the answers. What is it going to take to do it? It's hard. I run a 24-hour office, 7 days a week. It is hard for me to keep it staffed. If someone takes off sick or we have vacation days, it all takes from the amount of people we have out there and that hurts. It hurts all of us." Mr. Madden: "I am willing to see that a large amount of your increase has taken place as a result of the contract we signed, a certain amount of it." Sheriff Condie: "Well, a certain amount of it has, sir. But I'm not...." Mr. Madden: "I'm agreeing with that. Ok. That's not your fault." Sheriff Condie: "I contacted Mr. Brusatte when something comes up in a contract that I question about. We got this 4-hour call back and it is presenting a real problem. If you call somebody out or if you send somebody to school and the school is two hours, they put in for this call back and demand their four hours." Mr. Madden: "Well, Tony, you sat in on the negotiations quite a bit." Sheriff Condie: "I know we sat and we talked about it, and one of the things, if you can remember, and you can ask Mr. Rosengren, we talked about that." Mr. Madden: "We had to rely on your input. We don't know these procedures." Sheriff Condie: "I know, and that's why we are going back in. I contacted Jim that there is a problem with it. The problem is that there is something listed

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 in the contract for two hours before. If they are called within the two hours before, we don't have to pay for four hours, but there is nothing that says after the shift. I mean, that if they were home and out of the car for five minutes, ten minutes, and something happens where you had to call them back, that is considered, according to them, as a call back and we are going to end up paying the four hours and that is wrong. When a guy comes in for a hepatitis shot that we have to have, when we went into the school, there was four hours overtime paid for the class and it wasn't nearly that long?" Mr. Madden: "Let me enter into one more little subject and I'll let someone else talk. Do you have a fund from drug money?" Sheriff Condie: "Yes, sir. There is." Mr. Madden: "Is that fund audited by anybody?" Sheriff Condie: "Yes sir, it is. It is deposited right down stairs." Mr. Madden: "Do you have anybody that you consult with before you expend from it?" Sheriff Condie: "No, sir." Mr. Madden: "So that's all up to you. Right?" Sheriff Condie: "It's up to the Sheriff's Department." Mr. Madden: "What type of thing do you buy out of that?" Sheriff Condie: "It has to be equipment, by State Statute, to help fight drugs." Mr. Madden: "That equipment, technically, all belongs to the county then." Sheriff Condie: "Yes, sir, it does and it is all registered with Mr. Setchell's office." Mr. Franzetti: "I wish we would be putting more discussion on blacktop and concrete then we do as far as worrying about overtime for a very, very valuable department. Our sheriff's department is probably one of the most valuable departments within this county, and we sit here and argue about this thing, then sit here and look at these highways that have a few bumps in them and have a few holes in the blacktop, and right away we are running around to try and fix them and we don't say anything. But what I'd like to know is how many people

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 do you have off that you have to continually replace? In other words, you have definite replacements, like people that are off sick. How many people do you have that are continually sick?" Sheriff Condie: "We have one who hasn't been back to work yet this year." Mr. Franzetti: "So that's one that you have to constantly fill with overtime." Sheriff Condie: "Yes, you have to fill the time. Whenever you have workman's comp, and you have someone off for a long time, one of the things is they collect 100% of their pay for a year while they are off. Some of them have a tendency when they are off-- why hurry back, they're getting 100% of their pay. But we have people down there where openly & admittedly sick time is a problem. We've discussed it at meetings, and we have talked to the union about it. We have guys that cannot build more than 1, 2 or 3 days. We have people down there that take off sick and lose a day's pay because they have no sick time." Mr. Freebairn: "Are you making them bring a statement?" Sheriff Condie: "Yes sir, we are. We are going by the contract. After seven days off, they have to bring in a doctor's receipt. It's mandatory." Mr. Franzetti: "How many road deputies do you try to keep on the road at all times?" Sheriff Condie: "I try to at least keep three. But, one thing you have to remember, it's just not road deputies. We have mental patients that have to be relayed, and in reference to the detention home situation, if they don't keep the detention home, who do you think is going to have to transport those juveniles? I understand that could be clear down to southern Illinois, down by Alton." Mr. Combs: "How many road deputies do you have?" Sheriff Condie: "I have seven assigned per shift and try to keep three out there." Mr. Combs: "What do the other four do who are not on the road?" Sheriff Condie: "What I'm saying is like vacation time. There are people on vacation, people who are off sick."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Mr. Combs: "It takes two people to operate one person then. Is that what you are saying?" Sheriff Condie: "More or less, yes sir. Seven days a week, all four shifts. It is probably just like any factory, where you have rotation." Mr. Madden: "I'll tell you one thing. Most factories where you have a continual absenteeism, they are out the door." Sheriff Condie: "That I understand, too. Believe me." Mr. Rosengren: "Tony, will you explain to the Board here one of the biggest abuses of this overtime is the radio, the dispatcher." Sheriff Condie: "This is what I wanted to talk about earlier. The dispatcher on the radio, and there are four radio operators to maintain a 24-hour radio, 7 days a week, which when figured out, comes out to an eight hour shift every week that is automatically opened; built-in overtime, and that's some of the built- in overtime that Art was talking about. Before anybody from management can work it, they have to offer it to the AFSCME union." Mr. Madden: "And that's with no vacation time to the operators and no sick days." Sheriff Condie: "Right. That's not counting vacation or sick time. That's automatically built-in. One of the things in there, and you'll see where I suggested, that even if a part-time person was to come in and fulfill that, and I've talked to the union about it, and they said they would be all for it, too. Maybe we could work out some kind of a deal where we could get a part-time person there to fill that position, and utilize them somewhere else wherever we can put them like where a deputy comes in at the end of a shift. Instead of sitting there to do his reports and all that stuff that he has to finish up, maybe that person can come in and do those reports and the officer can scoot out." Mr. Hettel: "I thought that we had an agreement with the union that management could fill that part-time spot?" Sheriff Condie: "Management is working on it. We do have a person there who has probably got close to 60 to 70 some hours on it already."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Mr. Hettel: "I think that was part of the agreement before we ever added that position." Sheriff Condie: "That is, Joe, from what I understand, but it has to be OK'd. If nobody from AFSCME wants to do it, wants the overtime, then she can do it." Mr. Hettel: "I don't think that is what was agreed upon but I wasn't on that committee, so I don't know." Sheriff Condie: "I will look into it further for you. I promise you." Mr. Hettel: "You say you have four people, that you have requested, since your administration took over, we have added four people. In the previous administration, the biggest year of overtime they had was $53,000. Last year you had almost $137,000. So how can more people mean less overtime?" Sheriff Condie: "I understand that, but you've got to look at it this way, if you look at this here, there was a bunch of promises made in that statement and most of them were filled except for the one, within a year. Not bad. Anyway, on to your question. I don't know the last year how much activity that he had. Now it depends on the activity. If you look back, two years ago, Joseph, when you had the Connors' case and the other cases that came up, that was a busy year for your office and my office. Now it is still busy for Mr. Navarro's office and we're doing a good job. We're getting them out of the systems and emptying out the jail. Doing a fine job. But the thing is, I don't know what the activity was then, but I do know what the activity is in ours now because I've got the records in my office right now. But when I took over my office, there wasn't one record in the office. There were no records in the chief deputy's office; they were all gone. Where? Who knows. Mr. Hettel: "How does that relate to overtime?" Sheriff Condie: "How does it? From the amount of calls you have, from what's going on, what's happening. Simple, Joe. Add it. Figure it out. The more calls you have, the more activity you have. The busier you are going to be and that's what they have been. I'm no fool, but I'll tell you this here, you can get 10 deputies or 15 deputies and that still is not going to cut out overtime completely."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Mr. Krogulski: "I just want to get one thing straight in my mind here. Looking at Table One, it shows that you had 800 fewer hours ovetime for the period 93- 92." Sheriff Condie: "This is for the same period." Mr. Krogulski: "Yes, I know, but I mean you are saying you had 800 or so hours less overtime but the cost is up. Is that correct?" Sheriff Condie: "Yes sir." Mr. Krogulski: "Ok. We had 800 hours less but the cost of the overtime still went up. Right?" Sheriff Condie: "The cost of the overtime has significantly increased because of the FOP. The wages of a starting deputy went from seventeen something to $20,000." Mr, Krogulski: "Ok. I just wanted to get that straight. We had fewer hours but it's costing us more money." Sheriff Condie: "Right." Mr. Hageman: "Do sick days hurt alot, too?" Sheriff Condie: "Sick days do hurt us and we do have alot of sick time down there. I've brought it to committee and we talked about it. I've brought it up to Finance and we've even talked about it. At the negotiations we talked about how much it has hurt us and that's why we went back in and tried to negotiate different language on some of that stuff. Overtime hurts you. Sick time hurts you." Mr. Freebairn: "I just want to make one statement. I've been listening to you and you are telling an entirely different story today than you were two years ago." Sheriff Condie: "What's that on?" Mr. Freebairn: "Well, in your approach. At that point, you were going to do this, this and this. Now, it's 'I can't do this and I can't do that' and blaming it all on lack of personnel and things like that." Sheriff Condie: "I think lack of personnel has alot to do with it." Mr. Freebairn: "I understand. But, I remember at the time you said give me this person in the office and....."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Sheriff Condie: "What I said, and if you will remember, I said I don't believe in having a deputy inside the office sitting at the computer getting paid deputy's wages and I still don't. If that computer operator is going to be a computer operator, why should we pay them the $20,000 to sit there behind that computer. That's ridiculous." Mr. Freebairn: "I'm not arguing that. You said that, and then you got four people to do it and we haven't accomplished a thing." Sheriff Condie: "Sooner or later you're going to have to start looking. To me, it don't make any difference cause I don't know how long I'm going to be here and I don't care. The thing is this here; it's still going to go on and you are someday going to have to look at a department that you are going to have to have probably three times as many deputies because believe it or not, with all these subdivisions coming in, none of them want to incorporate into a town. They want to stay in the rural but they still demand the same satisfaction as if they lived in town." Mr. Freebairn: "We still don't have as many people in the county as we had five years ago." Sheriff Condie: "But, look in the rural, though. Alot of the towns are down, but the rural is up." Mr. Freebairn: "I'm talking about the county population." Sheriff Condie: "I'm talking about the rural. The rural population is going up." Mr. Hettel: "While you're here and so the whole Board might as well know it, so don't just blame the Finance Committee...." Sheriff Condie: "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not blaming Finance. I'm not blaming anybody and I want that clear. What I'm saying is that the cost of overtime is up but the amount of our overtime is down and that is what makes it confusing." Mr. Hettel: "I want to respond to Ario, too, in reference to arguing over blacktop, but in the sheriff's department, and this is before your time, in the past six years, the sheriff's budget has increase one million dollars and I want this

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Board to know. How much further do you want to go and where do you want to go with this budget?" Sheriff Condie: "That is going to continue to be a problem...." Mr. Hettel: "The thing is, the legislature put a cap on the amount we can levy, and some of the other departments are going to have to start giving up personnel." Sheriff Condie: "When I leave and the next sheriff is there, he is going to have the same problems that I've had here too. It is something that is going to have to be addressed sooner or later." Mrs. Kasap: "I've got a couple of questions. Before we got the new complex here, we had the old jail downtown. We didn't have cooks. We had the trustees that did the cooking. What was wrong with that system? It didn't cost us three cooks and all this overtime." Sheriff Condie: "Well, the thing is that you are not always able to pick up someone who can do the cooking. In the old days, we had this guy from Streator who we could count on going out in one day and getting drunk and arrested and bringing him in to do the cooking and make the soup. Back then supper consisted of soup and a sandwich and breakfast consisted of a pre-packaged roll and coffee." Mrs. Kasap: "What was wrong with that?" Sheriff Condie: "You'll have to talk to the State about that." Mrs. Kasap: "I'll tell you where my problem lies. They think they are in a hotel and we are treating them like they are in a hotel and the poor guy that was abused or taken advantage of because the fellow is in jail now, is getting absolutely no compensation. But, at the same time, they say 'Where's my television set?' Why do they think they need a television set? Why can't we just give them a jail like they had in the past instead of a hotel? I understand what you say. Don't blame the State. Let's change it. Also, one more question. The summons. I noticed here you have a complete list of how many times they were attempted and how many successes. Why are we sending these summons out? If people work during the day, there is no way...."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Sheriff Condie: "You have to try to abide by the State law. You have to try three different times. Each summons has to be tried three times." Mrs. Kasap: "Ok, but we do have shifts. So, if I'm on the morning shift and I can't take all my summons, can I take and give them to the afternoon shift so that you don't have to pay over?" Sheriff Condie: "Yes." Mrs. Kasap: "So why do you have overtime?" Sheriff Condie: "That does go on. Very little time is put in there for summons on overtime." Mrs. Kasap: "Not according to this. Somebody must have made a mistake." Sheriff Condie: "What page are you talking about?" Mrs. Kasap: "I don't have a number. All I've got is LaSalle County Sheriff's Department Comparison of Deputy Statistics Service/Performance Contracts. Right after Table Two." Sheriff Condie: "What this is showing is that there is no overtime involved. What it shows is how many of them went up as compared to those being served and attempted." Mrs. Kasap: "Ok. I'm going to read to you and see if I'm getting this correct; summons attempted for 1993--2538; served for 1993--1234. Right? What happened to the other summons? Why weren't they served?" Sheriff Condie: "Alot of them eventually end up being sent back to the attorneys for a better address on them. We have talked to Judge Bowers regarding summons problems we are having." Mrs. Kasap: "So we do have a problem with that." Sheriff Condie: "Definitely. If a summons has an address of RR #2 Ottawa, and we have to turn around and try to find out an address where that person lives on RR #2, then that all consumes time." Mrs. Kasap: "What happens in a case a summons or a subpoena or whatever is to be served and the deputy or whoever is supposed to serve it doesn't get it served in time?"

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Sheriff Condie: "Then it is sent back to the attorney and a new date is put on it." Mr. Brusatte: "You have to get a new summons. You have to re-issue it." Mrs. Kasap: "And the court date has already passed and the person hasn't been notified?" Mr. Brusatte: "It all depends. There are different cases. Some are 30 day summons, some are fixed day summons. It just depends." Mr. Panzica: "On your overtime, when are they finished? When they get done on the job or when they take their car all the way home?" Sheriff Condie: "When they get home because, if on the way home they run into something and are called to handle it, they handle it. We have enacted a power shift from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. to cover some of the peak hours where you have problems. One of the problems was the afternoon shift was running into alot of overtime at the end of the shift with accidents happening and etc. So now, after 10:00 p.m., the power shift is the one who takes care of all the calls." Mr. Panzica: "Tony, you were talking about the radio has alot of overtime and I was wondering in my mind, what's going to happen when we get 911? Are we going to have to hire alot of people or what?" Sheriff Condie: "We are going to have alot of problems, it you are asking me about it now. Am I for 911? Yeah. Are we going to have problems with it? Yeah. Is it going to consist of more help? Probably. I'm not going to lie about it, but I'll tell you that right now. I think it will be good for the people in the rural. That's my personal opinion, but would it work right now with what we have? There definitely would be problems." Mrs. Kasap: "Someone else had asked this question and I tried to get the answer and couldn't find it; I even talked to Jim and the people down state couldn't give me an answer. The people who you are talking about in the rural areas that are demanding more surveillance, is there anyway that they could be made to pay for part of their protection?" Sheriff Condie: "We went down and I talked to my committee on that and we talked about a buy back. Take the people in Lake Holiday, for instance, or some

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 other place who wanted a person up there full time. We could turn around and negotiate a contract and pay this guy overtime and the cost of his car and whatever comes up on the contract, and then whenever the board gets together and decides to set a wage or they would bill Lake Holiday and they would in turn pay the bill. There's alot of counties that are doing this and there is alot of money being made and coming into the counties from this. Will County is one of them." Mr. Brusatte: "But you can't make them do it. This is something they want to do." Mrs. Kasap: "This is what we are trying to find out. Is there something that says in the law, if you want all this extra protection, not the protection that you are entitled to, but extra protection, then you should be liable for it." Sheriff Condie: "Say for instance, the City of Oglesby or the City of Ottawa, has got some sort of doings they want to put on and they wanted to hire a buy back, where they would want our deputies there to work. This is where the county would say Ok, somebody over there at time and a half and we'll turn around and contract them for so much money or whatever amount the board comes up with. Some of them are $45.00 to $50.00 an hour. Some are higher." Mrs. Kasap: "I still didn't get an answer to my question." Mr. Brusatte: "But that's by agreement. You didn't get an answer because I don't think there is an answer." Mrs. Kasap: "Has anybody ever said anything to the people that are out there in the rural areas, hey, if you want the extra protection...... " Mr. Franzetti: "You can't force them, Betty." Mrs. Kasap: "I know you can't force them, but can't you...." Chairman Johnson: "Betty, I'll answer that because I hear it all the time. Lake Holiday thinks it should have more protection. They pay all the taxes; they have their own security and they say 'Why don't we give you more?' So they want more, and they are not going to pay for it. They think they are paying too much now."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – June 14, 1993 Mrs. Kasap: "But they are not paying what the city people are paying. We're paying for their police protection and the fire protection and the county protection. But we are not getting the county protection because the county protection is going to the people who don't live in the cities which is unfair, so maybe we, in the city, shouldn't pay for the county protection and only those who are getting the county protection should be billed for that." Mr. Franzetti: "Those rich farmers." Mrs. Kasap: "Yeah, those rich farmers." Chairman Johnson: "I think we have dwelled on this long enough. We have more business to do." Sheriff Condie: "Thank you very much." QUARTERLY REPORT: COMMITTEE WORK MISCELLANEOUS The quarterly report for Committee Work Miscellaneous was submitted in the amount of $28,510.00.

LaSalle County Board Minutes – July 12, 1993 RESOLUTION: VARIANCE TO SETBACK ORDINANCE A resolution was submitted requesting a variance to the setback ordinance for Alan Naylor to build a building adjacent to his house located in Osage Township. Motion for approval by Mr. Daugherity. Second by Mrs. Allender. Voice vote, all ayes. Motion carried. SEE RECORD BOOK 93, PAGES 6-7 DISCUSSION: LAKEWOOD ESTATES SUBDIVISION ISSUE Mr. Krogulski addressed the Board and explained the situation of Lakewood Estates Subdivision that was discussed at last month's Board meeting. He stated that the Board (as a whole) did over-turn the variance. They did not grant the preliminary plat, because of serious reservations about things other than the cul-de-sac and individual wells. This was discussed thoroughly at the last County Development Committee meeting and they gave Mr. Richard Burton a list of requirements necessary before action would be taken on the preliminary plat. Susan Grandone, of the County Health Department, explained to the Board this list of requirements. She stated that there were a number of concerns that had a public health impact. The first was with the creek that cuts across 60% of the proposed lots, which effectively divides the lots in half, therefore the usable square footage to put a house, driveway, and a septic system is greatly reduced. The subdivision ordinance requires 30,000 square feet for approval and they meet that requirement, but once the creek cuts across these lots, you don't have the 30,000 square feet of usable space. One of the requirements asked for was to have the engineering firm supply to the Health Department the usable square footage on these lots effected by the creek. There is also a flood plain concern. The developer had stated that there was no flood plain established on any given map that he could find. However, anytime you have a water course, you have a flood plain of some sort, so the health department also requested that grades be shot or whatever was necessary to delineate that flood plain on the plat. No building or development can occur on a flood plain so that further restricts the square footage and usable space. Another requirement was to have an

LaSalle County Board Minutes – July 12, 1993 engineering plan submitted to the health department to show what they were going to do for storm water management. There is a great concern for flooding out and severe topographic changes with both high and low spots, The department would like to know what is going to be done about surface water so that it doesn't flood out the people on the lower end of the lots or their sewage treatment systems. Because of the topographic features being so drastic, septic systems are not an option in the subdivision. Therefore, they will have to come up with alternative systems which will probably be a mechanical system that has a discharge. In order for them to discharge, they have to show on an engineering plan where they are going to discharge. If it is not directly to the creek, then they would have to put in an effluent collection tile system that would eventually go to the creek and it will need to show legal easements created for that tile and they cannot exceed three per line, otherwise they will need an IEPA- NPDES permit to discharge. The health department wants all this information documented in writing and on the plat before any action is taken to approve this plan for development. The health department plans to meet with the developer Friday about these requirements and they do not foresee any problems. SOLID WASTE: SITING CRITERIA Susan also addressed the Board concerning the proposed landfill siting criteria as it stands today as adopted May 17th, 1993 and June 17th, 1993 by the LaSalle County Siting Criteria Committee. These proposed criteria are as follows: 1) Sites that are located in less densely populated areas are preferred to those that are located in more densely populated areas; 2) Sites that are located closer to the center of waste generation are preferred to those that are located further away; 3) Sites that are located further away from schools, hospitals, cemeteries, and like institutions are preferred to sites that are located closer to such institutions; 4) Regular-shaped sites providing sufficient contiguous acreage are preferred to irregular-shaped sites that do not offer contiguous acreage; 5) Sites that have existing buffers are preferred to sites that have less buffer space; 6) Flood Plain. The landfill, including the buffer zone, should not be located within the 100-year flood plain; 7) The landfill should not

LaSalle County Board Minutes – July 12, 1993 be sited over any manmade mined or undermined area; 8) It is preferred that the landfill be sited on marginal land as opposed to prime farm land; and 9) the landfill should not be sited where an underground drainage system is located unless said system is diverted around the site at the developer's expense to protect the productive value of the land. The capacity of the diverted system must be of equal or greater capacity than the system it is replacing. Susan also stated that a public hearing on the siting criteria will be held July 20th, 1993 in the Jury Room of the complex at 6:30 P.M. SEE RECORD BOOK 93, PAGE 8 MOTION Mr. Panzica brought it to the Board's attention that July 27th will mark the 40th Anniversary of the cease fire of the Korean War and made a motion that the Board goes on record as to writing a resolution observing July 27th, 1993, as the 40th Anniversary of the cease fire of the Korean War.

LaSalle County Board Minutes – September 13, 1993 Motion to place all on file by Mr. Novak. Second by Mr. Martens. Voice vote, all ayes. Motion carried. SEE RECORD BOOK 93, PAGES 139-153 ANNOUNCEMENT Chairman Johnson announced at this time that since there have been quite a few citizens who wish to comment on certain issues, that a time limit will be set and only two may speak on the same issue. The County Board Rules Book states that the time limit is to be 5 minutes per comment, however, Chairman Johnson stated that today he will allow 10 minutes per comment. Individuals will be put on the agenda to speak only if they have complied with the rules book. A written notice must be sent to the Board asking to be on the agenda at least three days prior to the board meeting date and said notice must state the nature of the discussion. CITIZENS COMMENTS Paul McConville, a representative of C.A.R.E., addressed the Board and stated that even though the county has voted once on the question of public vs. private ownership, they feel it merits reopening. When the vote was originally taken the concept was a facility appropriate for LaSalle County only. The expanded concept brings up many questions concerning the control, cost, facility type provisions and the solid waste implementation plan itself. Twila Yednock, a resident of the City of Ottawa, addressed the Board and expressed her concerns of the County Board's responsiveness and responsibility to their constituents of our county government. She stated that initially she had reason to hope that the landfill decisions would be based on what the people of LaSalle County wanted. She now believes that certain board members will vote according to their thoughts alone instead of basing their vote on how their district feels. She also stated that their decision must not be based on what is easiest for them. It can only be based on what the people in each district want and the county as a whole. She asked them to please remember the words "representative government."

LaSalle County Board Minutes – September 13, 1993 Norman Munson, a resident of the Village of Utica, addressed the Board and stated that he had sent out a request to three county committees to investigate what has been happening in this county. He never received a response from any of these committees (Circuit Clerk, State's Attorney, Sheriff). He also stated that when he was named to serve on the planning commission back in 1978, he was the only person who was not paid for his position. He feels that public service is forbidden by the Constitution of the United States. Sue Johnson, a resident of the City of Ottawa, addressed her statement to Chairman Johnson. She stated that it was her belief that two years ago, he fully supported Paul DeGroot before any criteria had been set for the waste facility. Since he is the Chairman, she feels he has the influence and he could have the casting vote on this decision. She asks that he step aside and do not be a party to the vote. She also had a statement to make to Mr. Eastwold; the voters of his district are requesting a meeting with him to discuss the issue but have unsuccessfully been able to contact him. Linda Dorsey will be on the agenda at the next meeting since she also intended to comment on the landfill issue. ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Novak stated the student awards from Mr. Novotney's office will begin again at the October meeting. Mr. Hageman brought it the Board's attention that Mr. Zborowski was in the hospital in Peru and would be there for another two weeks. His room number is 356. Several citizens voiced their concerns on how many individuals should be allowed to speak on a single issue. Mr. Brusatte explained to them that this was according to the LaSalle County Board Rules Book. ------Mr. Novak made a motion to recess. The next meeting will be held on October 12, 1993 at the Governmental Complex, Ottawa, Illinois at 1:00 p.m. Second by Mr. Stockley. Voice vote, all ayes. Motion carried.** CHAIRMAN JOHNSON DECLARED THE MEETING RECESSED.

LaSalle County Board Minutes – September 13, 1993

** Corrected to read as per Resolution passed January 9, 1995.

LaSalle County Board Minutes – September 13, 1993 STATE OF ILLINOIS ) COUNTY OF LASALLE ) The LaSalle County Board met pursuant to recess at the Governmental Complex, Ottawa, Illinois, on the second Tuesday of October, A.D., 1993 it being the 12th day thereof. ORGANIZATION Chairman Johnson called the meeting to order at 1:05 P.M. STUDENT EXCELLENCE AWARDS Mr. William Novotney, Regional Superintendent of Schools, introduced the two students who were awarded the Student Excellence Awards for the month of September; from Leland Grade School, Joseph Diliberto, son of Mr. & Mrs. Joe Diliberto; and from Leland High School, Claire Hohenberger, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. John Hohenberger. The students received their award plaques from Chairman Johnson and were applauded by the Board. Mr. Novotney explained to the Board the recent reorganizations of the Regional Superintendent's offices. Over the summer a bill was passed by the State legislature which included the consolidation of the Regional Superintendent's office in the State of Illinois. Anyone under the population of 43,000 must be consolidated with a larger unit to make a unit of 43,000 or above and it must be done by 1995. Another consolidation will take place in 1999, and then you must have a population of 80,000. Since LaSalle County is 107,000 we do not have to consolidate with anyone. Three of our neighboring counties do have to consider the consolidation; Livingston County to the South, Bureau County to the West, and Lee County to the North. We have not had any contact from Livingston County but have heard that they are interested in consolidating with McLean County. Lee County has made arrangements to go with Ogle County. Bureau County has contacted LaSalle County, Putnam, Marshall, and Woodford Counties, and have contacted the counties to the west. All have rejected their consolidation at this particular time. We denied the consolidation because of the fact that LaSalle County has a $1,700,000,000.00 in assessed valuation and Bureau County has approximately $200,000,000.00. The law says

LaSalle County Board Minutes – October 12, 1993 that the larger assessed valuation county must pay for the expenses in proportion to the assessed valuation. That means that approximately 80% would be LaSalle County's expense as compared to Bureau County's 20%. Mr. Novotney introduced his assistant, Mr. Richard Myers, who together with Mike Kenerley showed and explained to the Board members the "Earth Flag" that will be presented at the end of the year to schools who participate in the recylcing program. STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY Mr. Myers introduced those students participating in the 11th consecutive Student Government Day. The following students from Ottawa High School represented the nine elected office holders: Jeff Townsend, Christy Reinmann, Adam Zeitlin, Hunter Campaigne, Natalie Rowe, Wahku Ziel, Jake DeWalt, DeAnn Bybee, and Melanie Martin. The following students from their respective High Schools represented County Board Members: from Mendota High School, Doug Sondgeroth, and Brad Beemer; from Leland High School, Christina Corrigan; from Earlville High School, Erin Wold; from Serena High School, Julie Thompson; from Ottawa High School, Julie Pearlman, Sara Bretag, Jay Heaberlin, Jim Torres, Kim Naughton, Seth Perry, and Beth Knottek; from LaSalle-Peru High School, Nicki Erlenborn, Jeff Marincic, Amy Flaherty, Amy Ogle, Jennie Leffelman, Sunshine Peters, Teresa Blomquist, Jennifer Wiesbrock, and Robyn Tonelli; from Seneca High School, Matt Johnson; from Marquette High School, Paula Rinker; and from Streator High School, Liz Drapa, Kelly Sliker, Mark Linton, Mark Drapa, and Jerrod Bangert.

D) That the County Development, Air, Land and Water Pollution Control Committee shall review all recommendations of the aforementioned committees and report to and advise the LaSalle County Board. Second by Mr. Pike. Further discussion and debate ensued by Mr. Franzetti and Mr. Renwick. Mr. Franzetti feels that this amendment will eliminate the involvement and the voice of the communities. Mr. Renwick responded and stated that at no time has the committees ever closed their ears to the comments of the municipalities. He further stated the purpose of this resolution was to speed up the process. Chairman Johnson asked the Clerk to read a letter from William Heinrich, Commissioner of Public Health & Safety of the City of Ottawa and also a representative of the Solid Waste Management Implementation Committee. The letter stated that he made a motion to amend the resolution regarding the committee structure and implementation of the LaSalle County Solid Waste Management Plan in such a manner as to provide the SWMIC to report directly to the LaSalle County Board instead of the LaSalle County Board's Development Committee. Mr. Franzetti stated that the amendment given to the Board today does not follow what Councilman Heinrich's letter intended.

LaSalle County Board Minutes – October 12, 1993 After further discussion, Chairman Johnson stated that the letter will be put on file with the Board records. RESOLUTION: 9-1-1 AMENDMENT A resolution was submitted to amend an ordinance that was passed on August 9th, 1993 in relation to the establishment of a 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System in LaSalle County. Said amendment is as follows: that Section 2 of said Ordinance be amended to include those residing within the corporate limits of the Village of Somonauk among those Village and Cities excluded from voting upon the question. Motion for approval by Mr. Rosengren. Second by Mr. Eastwold. Questions came up as to whether or not the Village of Somonauk has the enhanced 9-1-1.

Second by Mr. Hettel. Voice vote, all ayes. Motion carried. SEE RECORD BOOK 93, PAGES 166-178 CITIZEN REPORT Larry Bianchi, from the Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Board and stated that he wished to discuss their responsibilities as elected representatives. He feels the County Board is being pressured by factions that support a non-binding referendum which they have placed on the November ballot. These factions are requiring that individual County Board members must

LaSalle County Board Minutes – October 12, 1993 take further actions based on the majority vote in their respective districts. His questions is what constitutes a majority. Information from the County Clerk's office show that only 76% of voting age adults in LaSalle County are registered to vote. The estimated voter turn out for this off year November election is only 30% of the registered voters according to the Clerk's office. This means that if everyone voting were to vote in favor of the referendum, it would only represent 23% of the adult population of this county. A simple majority of votes would represent only 12% of the adult population. Mr. Bianchi further asks the Board to vote their conscience on the landfill issue that will be on the November 2nd, 1993 ballot. Andrea Rackmyer addressed the Board and expressed her concerns as to how the LaSalle County Board members handle the public view points. She stated that during the past meetings that she has attended, she witnessed activities that she believes were not in the best interests or for the welfare of the majority of county constituents. She further stated that the 11,000 signatures that the representatives of C.A.R.E. obtained to get this issue on the ballot does not constitute a faction. APPOINTMENT: EXTENSION SERVICE A resolution was submitted to reappoint Glenn Combs, Melvin Novak, and Betty Woodrich as members of the LaSalle County Extension Service for two year terms beginning August 1993 and ending August 1995. Motion for approval by Mr. Garretson. Second by Mr. Madden. Voice vote, all ayes. Motion carried.

However, if the county question passes, it does not automatically mean those communities will adopt the county system, because after the election it is up to the communities within the county to work it out with the county as to what system they will use. This means the original resolution will stand as is and the amendment is not necessary.** MOTION: EXECUTIVE SESSION Mr. Krogulski made a motion to go into executive session to discuss possible litigation on a subdivision.
