X. RESOLUTIONS
1. Resolution Regarding State's Attorney Automation Fund Appropriation Duncan said this resolution would amend the budget for State's Attorney Automation Fund to allow for the purchase of iPads for his office. This would absorb the cost instead of the General Fund.
Motion by Starr, seconded by Kiel to adopt the resolution.
| RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]

Duncan said this resolution would transfer in $85,000 from the general fund to the Tort Liability Fund to cover the shortage for the work comp and general liability premiums. The insurance line item in the general fund would be lowered to make it budget neutral.
Motion by Starr, seconded by Wiggins to adopt the resolution.
| RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Harry Starr, Board Member SECONDER: Tony Wiggins, Board Member AYES: Acord, Armour, Dragovich, Dunnagan, Emery, Harding, Heuer, Ibberson, Kiel, Klausing, Payne, Pomatto, Quarton, Schmidt, Starr, Thomas, Vojas, Wiggins |

| RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Tony Wiggins, Board Member SECONDER: Kristi Dunnagan, Board Member AYES: Acord, Armour, Dragovich, Dunnagan, Emery, Harding, Heuer, Ibberson, Kiel, Klausing, Payne, Pomatto, Quarton, Schmidt, Starr, Thomas, Vojas, Wiggins |
1. Wind Energy Siting Ordinance
Armour said this had been a work in progress for quite some time. Lotus Wind Project is already signing contracts in the north end of the county. The Committee had recommended Lotus meeting with the Farm Bureau to hammer out an ordinance that they are all happy with. This ordinance is a result of those discussions.
Motion by Armour, seconded by Ibberson to adopt the ordinance.
| RESULT: APPROVED [17 TO 1]
MOVER: Todd Armour, Board Member SECONDER: Jim Ibberson, Board Member AYES: Acord, Armour, Dragovich, Dunnagan, Emery, Harding, Heuer, Ibberson, Kiel, Klausing, Payne, Pomatto, Schmidt, Starr, Thomas, Vojas, Wiggins NAYS: Quarton |
1. FY 20-21 Month 7 Budget Review
Clerk Duncan walked through the budget review quickly. At the seventh month mark, 58% is what we should be shooting for. On the expense side, it is at 55.29%, though that is deflated as the total cost of the courthouse renovations is budgeted but has not been spent.
On the revenue side, the general fund has brought in 56.75%. This is also a little deflated as the entire courthouse grant has been projected, but we have not received it, though we did get our first check from the state.
XIII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Naming a Task Force for Budgetary Impact of the Criminal Justice Reform Act Dunnagan said that the Courts Committee had a discussion about naming a task force to look into the financial and operational impact of the Criminal Justice Act that had recently been passed. This is something that will need to be done at some point but it will need to be monitored as they are waiting for potential amendments and felt like they should wait for those amendments.
2. University of Illinois Extension Levy Agreement for FY
This approves the agreement Amanda Cole had discussed earlier in the meeting. Motion by Ibberson, seconded by Quarton to approve the agreement.
