​Cook County Board of Commissioners Committee and Board Meetings 
June 15, 16, 2022


Rules Committee June 15, 2022
  • The Department of Human Rights & Ethics proposed changes  to the Cook County Board of Ethics Procedural Rules to align with the December 2021 amendments to Code of Ordinances (Item 22-3150)
  • Sisavanh Baker explained the changes to the rules and regulations. Commissioners were concerned with two changes to the rules.  The first was to ensure that Commissioner were not subject to the  20-hour limitation of outside employment because they are part-time positions.   The other was the wording on how to handle reporting  campaign contributions that exceed the prescribed limit.   It was decided that the item would be deferred to next month and Ms. Baker would work with the Commissioners to clarify those two points. (Item 22-3155)
Technology Committee June 15, 2022
  • Approval of the extension of the Tyler contract. This system is the comprehensive tax processing system that includes the Assessor, Board of Review, County Clerk, and County Treasurer functions. The implementation is several months behind and the August tax bills will be delayed. The extension was recommended for approval in the Technology Committee and approved by the full Board  with no discussion from the Commissioners. This renewal is the first of three optional 3-year renewal periods.
  • The County will take advantage of several negotiated concessions including additional resources across various areas of the project, updated Deliverables Payment Schedule including Hold Backs. Three (3) years of Assessment Connect and Open Connect cloud-based services at no additional cost. Scope items that were originally contested by Tyler, have been included in the solution at no additional costs. Lastly, a 5-year freeze on Software Support and Maintenance payment increases.
  • This contract is a collaboration between the Assessor, Clerk, Treasurer offices with the Bureau of Technology to leverage a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) centralized property tax solution.  (Item 22-2917)

Board Meeting of the Cook County Commissioners
June 16,2022


​American Rescue Plan Act Funds
  • The Commissioners approved several grants from the funds in various categories. There were descriptions of the programs but no information on how the programs will be monitored and evaluated.  The only discussion was when Commissioner Sean Morrison  commented that each grant should also have a plan to measure the outcomes of the programs and to report on them.
  • One example was Item 22-3550 that awarded several grants via the Justice Advisory Council.  The resolution did include this paragraph: “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Cook County Board of Commissioners recognizes that time is of the essence and authorizes Executive Director Avik Das and the Justice Advisory Council to negotiate and enter into the various agreements that outlines the specific metric and impact data, and compliance with all ARPA reporting and monitoring requirements with the Subrecipients listed above to implement the programs.”
County Officials Salary Increases
  • The Resolution to have the Cook County Bureau of Human Resources  commission an independent Compensation and Market Survey every 4 years to determine if the current compensation of the  elected officials is in line with similarly situated positions nationwide or if increases are warranted was referred to the Finance Committee. (Item 22-4009)
Cook County Health
  • Dr. LaMar Hasbrouch was approved as the Chief Operation Officer of the Cook County Department of Public Health. (Item 22-3342)
  • A hearing was requested on the problems with short-term and long-term nursing home availability in Cook County.  Referred to the Health and Hospital Committee. (Item 22-4009) 
Climate
  • The resolution to create a special fund to ensure that 40% of any Federal assistance for climate issues and clean energy  goes to disadvantaged areas of Cook County was referred to the Finance Committee.  (Item 22-3910)
Criminal Justice
  • The resolution to request a hearing in the Cook County Criminal Justice Committee to discuss the annual report of the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center Advisory Board on  youth  re-entry from detention in Cook County was referred the Criminal Justice Committee.  (Item22-3546)

New Flag  for Cook County
The Board of Commissioners  congratulated Drew Duffy and Martin Burciaga, the winning student and design mentor, on his design of the new flag. (Item 22-3341). Duffy's winning design features six red stars and a sideways “Y” in green and blue on a white background. The stars have seven points to represent the regions of the county, the city of Chicago and the forest preserves, and they are in red to signal social change. ​​

Public Comments Period Draws Large  Number of Speakers at Cook County Board Meeting

1/18/2022

0 Comments

 
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.
  • Social agencies’ remarks concentrated on the need for continued work against violence, particularly gender-based domestic violence. It has increased a great deal during the pandemic. Several speakers requested funds to be used for work with the abusers themselves, emphasizing the need to stop the violence at its source.
  • All the people commenting on the health mandate spoke against the vaccine and against the enforcement of masks and social distancing in public areas.
  • ​Commissioner Sean Morrison, after the speakers finished, emphasized that the Cook County Board of Commissioners did not create nor did they vote on this mandate. The policy came from the Cook County Department of Health.
President Preckwinkle then invited Dr. Rachel Rubin, senior medical officer of the Department of Health, to explain the rationale for the policy. She said the order was based on science and on how covid is transmitted. The current severe outbreak made this a necessity. Two things have been shown to mitigate the disease: 1) masks work. 2) vaccinations prevent the disease, or at least temper the severity of the illness. She invited citizens to visit the Cook County Health Department website for more detailed information on the subject.

The remainder of the agenda was passed without a great deal of discussion. 
  • The monthly covid report was presented for CARES, FEMA, ERA, and ARPA. Staff reported that while administrative costs for such programs generally run about 10%, the costs here have been closer to 3%. (Agenda Item 22-1088)
  • One of the more lengthy discussions involved the ongoing arbitration with the SEIU union related to pandemic pay. Staff is currently awaiting the arbitrator’s decision. This should be resolved in the first quarter of 2022. Staff reminded the Board that this agreement must be presented in its entirety. The Board cannot deal with it separately in sections.
  • 2021 Annual Ethics Report was received and filed. (Agenda Item 22-0877)
  • Amendment to the ordinance for Inspector General was referred to the Legislative and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. The proposed changes to the ordinance deal with the process of selecting an Independent Inspector General. (Agenda Item 22-1224)
  • Commissioner Anaya presented an item that allows the public defender to represent noncitizens in court on immigration matters. Commissioner Suffredin spoke in support. (Agenda Item 22-1161)
  • Appointment of Lynn Turner as the permanent secretary of the Board replacing Matt DeLeon was referred to the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee. (Agenda Item 22-1238)
Meeting was adjourned at 3:59 p.m.

Lively and Informative Cook County Board June Zoom Meeting

6/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Cook County Board of Commissioners Meeting - June 18, 2020

     The zoom format did not inhibit any of the Commissioners from engaging in lively discussion about many important items. The meeting began and ended with powerful and emotional support for President Preckwinkle and Commissioner Brandon Johnson. The president was front page news that very morning in the Sun-Times with an article about her racist experiences as a child in the 1950’s growing up in St. Paul, Mn.  Comm. Daley congratulated her on the article which also gave much credit to her efforts in the area of criminal justice reform.  The last part of the meeting belonged to Comm. Johnson’s resolution entitled “Justice for Black Lives” (Agenda Item 20-2867) with almost all Commissioners speaking to this issue and asking to be co-sponsors. (More on this resolution below).
   Public comment came in the form of letters summarized by the Secretary of the Board. The League of Women Voters of Cook County's (LWVCC) letter, about the consolidation process of the Recorder of Deeds’ and the Clerk’s offices, was included in the summary. Also included was a letter from Sharlyn Grace of the Chicago Bond Fund in support of Comm. Johnson’s resolution and many others supporting Comm. Anaya’s resolution to stop evictions during Covid. (more on that below)

Highlights of the Meeting:
  • Agenda Item 20-2615 - This item refers to President Preckwinkle’s veto message. At the May board meeting, the President exercised her first and only veto and explained her reasoning in a written statement that was filed, but not discussed at this meeting. She vetoed  an ordinance directing the County’s health department to release the addresses of  Covid-19 positive patients to first responders. Her reasoning cited privacy information and the fact that this information would not keep anyone safer.  She also worried that disclosure of this information might cause individuals to not seek medical help in the future. The measure passed narrowly last month. There was no mention of an override.
  • ​Agenda Item 20-2445 - This item refers to the Performance Management Report. Comm. Miller stated that this report looked very different from previous reports. She asked for metrics and data to support the conclusions stated by various department heads and elected officials. Jerry Pray, of the Research Operation and Innovation Dept. stated that he is still collecting data and can send it to the commissioners and post it online shortly, He said that the report this year was meant to tell a story and to focus on future initiatives. The board voted to receive the report
  • Agenda Item 20-2395 - This item refers to the rental of space at St.Hyacinth Church in Avondale for the use of a new Restorative Justice Court. Comm. Kevin Morrison wanted to know more details. A representative from Chief Judge Evans’ office stated that it was the judge’s goal to open 2 more Restorative Justice courts soon, after the one in Lawndale proved to be a success. Another one is planned for Englewood. These courts concentrate on young, low- level offenders between the ages of 18-26. The measure passed.
  • Agenda Item 20-2684 - This is another item dealing with youth, ages 16-24. Commissioners Gainer and Miller praised the Chicago Work Force Partnership’s efforts to provide employment and training to at -risk youth, especially during tough economic times.  Comm. Miller again asked for data with this program especially a breakdown of race, ethnicity and gender. A representative from the program will provide the commissioners with this information. The measure passed.
  • Agenda Item 20-2745 - This refers to the final report dealing with the merger of the Recorder of Deeds and the Clerk’s offices. Commissioner Suffredin commended the staffs of both offices. He also commended the LWVCC for their thoughtful questions and their input into this matter. This was referred to the Legislation and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, which will meet and go over the report before the July board meeting.
  • Agenda Item 20-2326 - This refers to commissary items and their prices at Cook County Jail. Before approving a contract for these items, Commissioner Kevin Morrison (along with several other commissioners) wanted to know if detainees are charged too much for these items (mostly snacks and personal items) and if the County is making a profit, A representative from the sheriff’s office said that the prices are set by the vendor and are equal to those charged by convenience stores. The commissioner wanted exact figures for these prices. The board will receive this information. They then voted to discuss this item at the July meeting.
  • Agenda Items 20-2650 and 20-0993 - The first of these refers to the Revenue and Expense report and the 2nd one refers to the report from Cook County Health. These were lumped together and discussed in a general way. The financial picture for all departments is not a good one. Revenue is way down due to less sales tax and other fees during Covid-19. The commissioners stated that a more detailed revenue report will be released on June 26th. And the preliminary budget hearings set for July will be the time to discuss these matters in more detail. Reports were received and filed at this meeting.
  • Agenda Item 20-1859 - This refers to the appointment of Judge Marcus R. Salone to the Ethics Committee. Commissioner Suffredin praised this appointment and called him a “healing force”.
  • Agenda Item 20-2891 - Commissioner Anaya sponsored this item which stops evictions during the Covid-19 crisis. Evictions are stalled right now as the courts are closed. But they reopen in July and the commissioners discussed this at length. Comm.Suffredin stated that the board does not have the authority to stop evictions but they can encourage the Sheriff’s police to NOT enforce them. All commissioners passed and co-sponsored this resolution.
  • Agenda Item 20-2867 Commissioner Johnson’s resolution “Justice for Black Lives” was discussed at length. His resolution covered a history of discrimination and incarceration against black people. More currently he cited some comments on social media that stated maybe next time fire hoses  should be used to quell marches, such as the one that was organized by Public Defenders in front of Cook County Jail. His resolution included solutions to these problems that dealt with reforms in health care, housing, criminal justice, job creation, among other things. Almost every commissioner spoke to this resolution, most thanking Comm. Johnson for introducing it and asking to be co-sponsors. Comm. Johnson stated that we must listen to ALL community groups and let them help us lead the way to reform. The board voted to send this resolution to the Criminal Justice Committee for further review.
  • Finally, a Voting Equity item (Agenda Item 20-2906) was added to the agenda very last minute. It was referred to the Rules Committee for further review. Commissioner Britton said this item was crucial to ensuring fair elections, It deals with printing ballots and instructions in various languages, making sure new voting machines work properly, and making sure that new mail- in procedures run smoothly, among other things.
Despite the length of the meeting, the number of important issues discussed, and the format of zoom, the commissioners still made time to compliment each others’ work and to joke with each other.

Cook County Commissioners Find Problems with Contracts

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Cook County Board of Commissioners Meeting - February 7, 2018

Significant Topics Discussed:

  • Although most contracts were passed, commissioners expressed concern that too many extensions are given to contracts in the county without RFPs to open bidding to other vendors and organizations.  Also of concern is that some contracts  are not completed within the designated timeframe and the performance of some vendors is not acceptable.  There do not seem to be penalties against vendors who do not complete their contracts on time or correctly accomplish the goals of the contract (Comm. Morrison).
  • Commissioners are concerned that they receive the contract for approval too late to do anything but “rubber stamp” it (Comm. Fritchey).  
  • Agenda Item 18-1914 (passed)  an extension of Securus Technologies to provide telephone service for jail inmates.  The cost for inmates to phone anyone within the USA is 12.5 cents per minute, which is a good rate compared to other jurisdictions.  Extensions for this contract have gone on for almost 10 years.
  • Agenda Item 18-1277 (on hold until legal language cleared up) is a contract with Northwestern University to provide mental health services for minors at the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC).  Northwestern wants an indemnification  clause which would relieve them of any medical mal-practice consequenses.  The county does not provide this in their contracts.
  • Agenda Item 18-1649  A hearing was held in the Legislation and Intergovernmental Affairs committee regarding the performance of the Clerk of the Court’s office in completing electronic filing of court cases and  an updated case management system.  The county has already designated $40 million toward this mandatory directive by the  Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts (AOIC).  Concerns were expressed by the Board regarding the extension of 6 months to complete this (now extended to July 1, 2018); a convenience fee of $2.95 that is still being charged to obtain case files; and a federal court case regarding media difficulty in obtaining court case information.

Significant Decisions Made:
  • Agenda Item 18-2022 (passed) a resolution supporting stronger ethics legistation (like the county has) at the state and other local levels.
  • Agenda Item 18-2050 (passed) a resolution declaring gun violence in Cook County a Public Health Emergency and advocating for additional resources to combat violence.
  • Agenda Item 18-1750 (passed)  requiring a quarterly report from all agencies and departments involved with costs of gun violence—Medical Examiner, Hospital System, Sheriff, etc.
  • Agenda Item 18-2017 (passed) a resolution to study integration, consolidation, and modernization of all IT services in the County (to save money and increase efficiency.) Following the study (in 120 days) there would be a Governance  ordinance drafted by the Chief Information Officer.
  • Agenda Item 18-2073 (passed) a resolution to form a commission for revenue forecasting and evaluation of revenue types.
  • Agenda Item 18-2128 (passed)  Sheriff offering to help suburban Cook County in investigating police shootings since the county has more resources than most suburbs.
  • Agenda Item 18-2142 (sent to Finance committee) this report on the tax assessment process by the Civic Alliance, which was initiated several months ago, “will be out next week and will be available on-line” (President Preckwinkle).  This has been a very controversial  topic regarding Assessor Berrios’ Office.  Issues of fairness and accuracy of assessments have been reported by the media and other organizations.

Items to Watch for in the Future:
  • Results of Civic Alliance study on tax assessments.
  • Completion of e-filing and case management systems by the Clerk of the Court.

Other Observations:
Commissioners seem to be taking a more active role in how contracts are awarded and whether they are completed on time, accurately, and with reasonable cost.
