  • Contract Compliance Proposal to create a Small Business Commission (Agenda Item 18-4541)

The following item was Withdrawn
  • Authorization for the Office of the County Clerk to purchase election equipment from Dominion Voting Systems.(Agenda Item 18-2409)

Other Observations  
  • Before the Board Meeting I observed the last quarter hour of the Budget Meeting where Dr. Jay Shannon spoke about the CCHHS.  Their aim is to “save lives while saving money”.  He spoke for the approval of 18-1619--specifically the needs for continued modest gains and equipment upgrades.  The CCHHS provides 50% of charity care in Cook County.  Commissioner Gainer inquired about the turnover.  Dr. Shannon replied that it is between 5 to 8 % monthly. 
  • Regarding 18-2409 Election Equipment, the Clerk’s office is working to diminish threats to elections.  They are aiming for the highest quality for the lowest price.  There will be an eventual staged rollout.  “You can’t have all new equipment at once.”
