mentioned that there is an Executive Session scheduled for this meeting, just in case the
committee members would like to discuss Monterrey Security and the conversation warrants an
Executive Session.

with DuPage County and Kane County that will be ratified at the Finance and County Board
meetings on February 13, 2024.
