CHAIR REMARKS - Chair Evans  
Chair Evans let the Committee know that Governor JB Pritzker issued a Disaster Declaration for  
Illinois counties struck by a series of tornadoes. She informed the Committee that Chair Deborah  
Conroy issued a Disaster Proclamation for DuPage County, in response to damage that occurred  
during a tornado in Addison, Illinois. This proclamation will help the County to procure items

She then informed the Committee that there will be a MERIT (Metropolitan Emergency
