I'd be happy to answer any questions about 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:49.979 but we moved some freights in January just pointing out the felony offenses, 26 new open, 62 closed. 00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:56.219 So that's a lot of the November to December backlog getting cleared off there. 00:03:57.580 --> 00:04:06.139 Our previous victim and witness coordinator has achieved her 7-11 temporary law license and she's 00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:10.520 she's begun practicing as a 7-11 licensed law clerk 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.280 in misdemeanor court. 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.860 So we're all very proud of the work that she's done 00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:19.060 and glad that she's in a position to help out. 00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:21.660 We've hired a new victim and witness coordinator 00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:22.959 to replace her. 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.860 That's a woman named Allison O'Rourke. 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:29.360 She's in the process of getting her master's degree 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:30.699 in social work. 00:04:30.699 --> 00:04:34.079 She got her bachelor's degree at Champaign Urbana 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.079 and then moved to the area with her husband. 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.560 And she's come into a trial by fire. 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.220 Her first two weeks here, we've had a trial, 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:48.220 a serious trial, two weeks in a row, 00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:52.160 but she seems to be doing well. 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.560 She hasn't batted an eye at Stan Lake 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.740 and is getting along well with everyone. 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.139 With that, I'd be happy to answer any questions 00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:02.079 anybody may have. 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:14.860 I do have a question on your report to juvenile abuse and neglect. Is that actually child 00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:19.860 abuse? 00:05:19.860 --> 00:05:24.019 Juvenile crime is like juvenile delinquency. That's the word right above it. Abuse and 00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:31.779 neglect is ECFS cases where children are either removed from the home while the parents go 00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:39.939 through remedial measures or that children remain in the home and the parents will work with DCFS 00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:49.459 to rectify things. Well, that's what it all is. Okay, this is that. Okay, let's play open since 00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:56.980 the last one. What's a lot of this? Sometimes there's multiple children in one family. 00:05:56.980 --> 00:06:13.980 Usually, it's not just one child that's removed. If you've got a household with five kids and there may be only abuse or neglect of one, but all five go, you know, because if it's not safe for one, it's not safe for any of them. 00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:15.980 Yeah. 00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:18.980 Thank you. 00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:32.259 We're still working on our e-citations this weekend. It got off to a little rough start, 00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:36.579 but we're working out those kinks. The Sheriff's Office has been writing tickets, 00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:39.699 Freeport has paused for a moment, so we move back on. 00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:44.379 There's not a whole lot in here. 00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:45.699 Do you have any questions? 00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:48.620 Questions? 00:06:48.620 --> 00:06:49.819 Yep. 00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:51.540 See it's tax season again. 00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:55.980 So I see we got $103 and 88 cents in. 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:59.899 So when do we see a lot of that come in generally? 00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:02.860 So maybe a little bit because they'll get a notice 00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:07.860 and I think they have 30 or 45 days to check to it. 00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:13.060 to it and then if they don't object then it's us. There is a little waiting room. 00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:23.970 Okay thank you. Okay well thank you. Chanel, appreciate it. I'll move on to 7.6 Youth Diversion 00:07:23.970 --> 00:07:37.329 Fees. The last deposit was $648.55 giving us a grand total of $9,941.30 so that is moving along 00:07:37.329 --> 00:07:49.410 Long Night's Sleep, Old Business, 8.1, Review and Approval of Use of Permanent Funding Applications, 00:07:49.410 --> 00:07:59.009 and George did make the small change that we asked for, she puts the 501C3 status on there, 00:07:59.009 --> 00:08:07.089 and it looks, you know, we've got, it has to be under 18, you know, children or juveniles 00:08:07.089 --> 00:08:22.290 that are not in the court situation right now and under 18. So I think that satisfies 00:08:22.290 --> 00:08:32.809 the question that I have, the concerns I have. Anybody else have any? Are you happy with the 00:08:32.809 --> 00:08:55.250 Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. All those opposed, same sign to that motion passes. And Scott, that does not have to go to the board, right? 00:08:55.250 --> 00:09:26.929 Do you mail this? Generally we send it to the media email group that we have.
