CHAIR REMARKS - CHAIR EVANS  
Chair Evans began her remarks by informing the Committee of the following upcoming Budget  
Presentation schedule. On August 1, the Coroner's Office and the Office of Homeland Security  
and Emergency Management will be presenting their budget. Then, on August 15, the 18th  
Judicial Circuit Court Clerk will present its budget at the regular meeting at 8:00 AM. That  
same day, at a Special Call meeting at 1:00 PM, Budget Presentations will be offered by the 18th  
Judicial Circuit Court, the Sheriff's Office, the State's Attorney's Office and the Public Defender.  
Chair Evans looks forward to hearing these Budget Presentations and encouraged all Committee  
members to be in attendance.  
In addition, Chair Evans advised the Committee of an item which will appear on the July 18  
Finance Agenda pertaining to the Public Defender's compensation. It is required by statute that  
the Public Defender receive 90% of what the State's Attorney is compensated. The State's  
Attorney is receiving a cost of living adjustment (COLA) from the State, which necessitates that  
the Public Defender's salary be increased accordingly. Chair Evans further reported that 66-1/3%  
of the Public Defender's salary is reimbursed by the State.  
As the investigation into the Father's Day shooting continues, Chair Evans alerted the Committee  
that requests for overtime compensation are likely to be coming forward from the Sheriff's  
Office. She thanked the law enforcement officials for the hard work they are doing and  
encouraged the Committee members to be supportive of their efforts.  
Lastly, Chair Evans introduced Chief Marc Maton from the Lemont Police Department who  
presented the DuPage County Sheriff's Office with the 2023 Tier II Illinois Law Enforcement  
Accreditation Program (ILEAP) Award. This highly sought after award required intense  
amounts of work by the Sheriff's Office to ensure that their policies and procedures meet the  
established criteria set by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police. In addition to being the  
Chief of Police in Lemont, Chief Maton currently serves as the First Vice President of the Illinois  
Association of Chiefs of Police. Chief Maton gave a brief overview of what the Illinois  
Association of Chiefs of Police does as well as describe the requirements needed to be selected  
for the 2023 Tier II ILEAP Award. He then presented the award to Deputy Chief Dan Bilodeau  
and Megan Kupiszewski from the DuPage County Sheriff's Office. Member Brian Krajewski  
then asked Chief Maton how many of the 102 counties in Illinois are Tier II certified. Chief  
Maton responded that there are three counties.

Transfer of funds from account no. 1000-4415-50000 (Regular Salaries) to account no.  
1000-4415-50011 (Sheriff-Special Duty O/T) in the amount of $175,000 needed for the  
following reason: Sheriff Special Duty Overtime is over budget. Average monthly  
activity year-to-date is $38K, compared to $19K for the same period in FY22. Further,  
wages increased due to the MAP side letter agreement approved in March 2023. This is a  
budget neutral transfer because the general fund receives payment from the entities using  
the Sheriff's Detail services. Year-to-date receipts exceed the FY2023 budget. (Sheriff's  
Office)

23-2347  
Transfer of funds from account nos. 1000-4415-50000 (Regular Salaries),  
1000-4415-50020 (Holiday Pay), 1000-4410-50011 (Sheriff-Special Duty O/T),  
1000-4405-50010 (Overtime) and 1000-4405-50011 (Sheriff-Special Duty O/T) to  
account no. 1000-4410-50010 (Overtime) in the amount of $985,146 for the following  
reason: Overtime for Jail Operations is significantly over budget due to the continued  
headcount vacancies and difficulty in recruiting Jail Officers. The shortfall is amplified  
because the PBLC contract approved after the FY23 budget was submitted included  
significant increases in wage rates. (Sheriff's Office)  
Member Yeena Yoo asked for clarification of the difference between the transfer  
requested in this item compared to the transfer requested in the previous item. She also  
stated that the dollar amount of this transfer is quite high. Deputy Chief Dan Bilodeau  
clarified the differences between the various accounts and explained that his office is  
requesting to internally transfer the funds they currently have between these accounts to  
eliminate the need to ask for additional funds for jail overtime. Member Mary Ozog  
asked whether this request is budget neutral and Deputy Chief Bilodeau confirmed that it  
is. Member Brian Krajewski inquired about contingency funds. Deputy Chief Dan  
Bilodeau and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Martynowicz confirmed that there are funds in  
contingencies.
