COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING
January 13, 2022-10:00 a.m. The one and a half hours of public comments at the meeting focused on two main areas: those advocating for continued/increased funding to social agencies and to those opposed to the Cook County Health Department mandate pressing for vaccination and for masking/social distancing.
The remainder of the agenda was passed without a great deal of discussion.

June 24, 2021 The meeting was called to order at 10:00 am in a hybrid meeting with some commissioners present in the County Board Room and others connecting virtually. Public speakers can now testify in person in the lobby area or virtually. Testimony Michael Stone of the Center for Disability & Elder Law voiced his support for the proposed ordinance amendment to permanently reduce the Transfer on Death Instrument recording fee to $48. This fee must be paid before the owner's death. Then the transfer of residential property from owner to beneficiary(s), upon the owner's death, is effective. If the transfer is complete, probate can be avoided which aids low-income families and disabled people. [The Commissioners approved the ordinance amendment [Substitute 21-3868] to reduce the Transfer on Death Instrument recording fee to $50]. American Rescue Plan:
