CHAIR REMARKS - CHAIR EVANS

Chair Evans welcomed all to the Committee. She then informed everyone that the 18th Judicial

Circuit Court was awarded the Illinois Courts Technology Modernization Program Grant. With

this funding, the Court plans to complete two major projects: the completion of the traffic

courtroom AV equipment upgrades and the implementation of an updated jury management

system. Notification of this grant was received too late for these items to be placed on today's

Judicial and Public Safety Committee Agenda. Therefore, in order to complete these projects in

the FY24 grant cycle, it is necessary to discharge the Judicial and Public Safety Committee and

bring these procurement items directly to the Finance and County Board meetings on March 26,

2024. Chair Evans thanked the staff of the 18th Judicial Circuit Court for their efforts in

securing this grant.

Preferred Health System Agreement between DuPage County and Northwestern

Memorial HealthCare, for Inmate Medical Services, covering the period of August 1,

2024 through July 31, 2027. (Sheriff's Office)

Member Yoo asked about the medical services provided to the inmates in the past and

whether the previous rates are comparable with the rates proposed in this new

Agreement. Mr. Blumenthal responded that this is the exact same contract and simply a

renewal. Member Chaplin asked when the contract end date is. Mr. Blumenthal

confirmed that the end date is July 31, 2027. In addition, Member Chaplin asked what

kind of services are being provided to the inmates. In response, Mr. Blumenthal

indicated that this Agreement ensures that if an inmate requires medical services, they

will be transported to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital.

Intergovernmental Agreement with Bloomingdale Township for Police Services for a

total amount of $137,656.81, for the period April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025.

(Sheriff's Office)

Member DeSart commented that the dollar amounts on these Intergovernmental

Agreements are not consistent and asked for an explanation as to how the rates are

calculated. Deputy Chief Dan Bilodeau from the Sheriff's Office explained that Milton

Township has three deputies assigned to it which triples the dollar amount of its contract.

The other three townships are each assigned only one deputy. A question was raised by

Member Tornatore as to why Milton Township has three deputies while the other three

townships only have one. Deputy Chief Bilodeau responded that these requests from the

townships for the number of deputies they require have remained consistent for at least

twenty years. Member Chaplin asked what, if any, additional pressure having deputies

assigned to townships places on the department. Deputy Chief Bilodeau replied that

these assignments do not bring any hardship to the Sheriff's Office. Member Eckhoff

stated that, in previous years, 80% of these contracts were paid by the Township and 20%

were paid by DuPage County. He asked if this was still the split and Mr. Blumenthal

confirmed that it is. According to Member Zay, the number of deputies assigned to each

township was decided by the voters through a referendum many years ago. Another

question was brought forth by Member Yoo who asked for an explanation of the number

of hours the deputies work. Deputy Chief Bilodeau explained the amount of hours that

the deputies work per shift for each township.
