Agenda Item 20-0016
  Substitute Ordinance Amendment to Inspector General Ordinance: 
(Sponsored by all CCB Commissioners) 
Special Counsel Lechowicz stated that the changes, highlighted by bold type, add specificity to procedures as well as qualifications for the OIG.  IG Blanchard stated his agreement to the committee, adding that the changes make the ordinance better and stronger.  It was passed with unanimous aye votes.

Included in the Substitute Ordinance Amendment:
  • Re Quarterly Reports, these will be placed on the next regular County Board meeting agenda as items for receipt and file or as items to be referred to Litigation Committee.  Included would be the number of IG investigations pending for over 180 days.
  • As the term of an IG is up, a search process may be restarted for a new IG (6 yr term) or allow a 2 yr. reappointment during the search for a new IG.
  • Procedures are now specified for investigations taking more than 180 days.  The OIG currently follows these.
Committee Chair Suffredin explained that the Substitute Ordinance Amendment will need to be passed at tomorrow’s Cook County Board meeting; following passage IG Blanchard would be eligible for reappointment for a 2 yr term.
