  • The sheriff also submitted a proposed Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Proviso Township HS Dist. 209 and Forest Park, IL for the Sheriff's office to provide  school community liaison officers to Proviso East since the school is located in unincorporated Cook County.

Item of Interest for future meetings:
  • Comm Boykin introduced a resolution to hold a hearing on the use of county vehicles for personal or political purposes.

  • On the New Items agenda there was a resolution urging President Donald Trump and the Department of Homeland Security to maintain the current interpretation of the Public Charge Rule and oppose any change that would negatively impact immigrant families.  Comm. Garcia described the proposed Trump Administration change as a “most drastic regulation” that would have a direct impact on our country.  Comm. Garcia requested that the Board act on this item at this meeting as he wanted to be able  to be a sponsor and to vote on it and he may not be able to be at the next meeting since he is running for a different office in the November election.. All present agreed it could be voted on and all commissioners present agreed to be sponsors. It was approved. (Agenda Item 18-6425)
