Law & Judicial

8.9 17-0900

Ordinance amending Chapter 35, Section 35.36 Fees for Services Performed by Lake County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) by adopting a revised fee schedule for the LCSO.

Finance and Administrative Services Director Gary Gordon indicated items 8.9 through 8.11 could be considered together. It is Lake County's policy to review all its fees over a five-year cycle. The Sheriff's Office recently reviewed fees eligible for increase and the true costs associated in providing these services. It identified several fees in which the amount being charged did not cover the cost to provide the service.

Mr. Gordon stated item 8.9 identifies increases in the Summons, Paper Service, Foreign Service and Subpoenas Fee, the Replevins Fee, Eviction Services Fee, Eviction Rescheduling Fee, and Fingerprinting Fee. Item 8.10 would adopt a Judicial Sales cancelation fee and 8.11 would amend the title of Section 93.07 of the Code of Ordinances to Alarm Responses and increase associated fees.

A motion was made by Member Bartels, seconded by Member Carlson, that items 8.9 through 8.11 be recommended for adoption to the County Board agenda. The motion carried unanimously.

Aye: 7 - Chair Rummel, Vice Chair Bartels, Member Carlson, Member Durkin, Member Hewitt, Member Pedersen and Member Taylor

8.10 17-0901

8.12 17-0902

Ordinance amending Chapter 35 adopting Section 35.37 Administrative Fee for Impounded Vehicles.

Undersheriff David Hare stated that, in 2015, legislation was passed to allow counties to assess an administrative tow fee for impounded vehicles to cover administrative costs. Keith Kaiser, Sheriff's Office, reported that of the 54 municipalities in Lake County, 32 municipalities assess a tow fee. Of the 22 municipalities who do not assess an administrative tow fee, 14 are provided police services by Lake County Sheriff's Office. Undersheriff Hare indicated the cost to arrest a driver and impound a vehicle is $1,400. He noted legislation allows the Sheriff's Office to charge up to $500 per tow, but the Sheriff's Office is opting for a fee of $250 per tow. This will generate approximately $250,000 in revenue to cover administrative costs. County Board Member Hart and Carlson expressed concern regarding the implementation of this fee. Substantial discussion ensued. Member Durkin suggested revisiting this item in a year.

A motion was made by Member Taylor, seconded by Member Durkin, that this item be recommended for adoption to the County Board agenda. The motion carried unanimously.

Aye: 6 - Chair Rummel, Vice Chair Bartels, Member Durkin, Member Hewitt, Member Pedersen and Member Taylor

8.13 17-1070

Circuit Court Clerk Erin Cartwright and Farrah Watson, Circuit Court Clerk's Office, presented a request to increase the Court Document Fee from $5 to $20. The fee was last reviewed in 1992. Revenues have substantially declined over the years and the increase will support the funding of current and future expenses related to the establishment and/or maintenance of a document storage system. Discussion ensued.

A motion was made by Member Carlson, seconded by Member Pedersen, that this item be recommended for adoption to the County Board agenda. The motion carried unanimously.

Aye: 7 - Chair Rummel, Vice Chair Bartels, Member Carlson, Member Durkin, Member Hewitt, Member Pedersen and Member Taylor

8.14 17-1023

Ordinance amending Chapter 35, Section 35.23 Court Automation Fee by increasing the fee collected by the Circuit Court Clerk from $12 to $20 effective December 1, 2017.

Chief Judge Jorge Ortiz, 19th Judicial Circuit, Circuit Court Clerk Erin Cartwright-Weinstein, Courts Administrator Danny Davis, Mary Stevens, Courts Administration, and Farrah Watson, Chief Circuit Court's Office, presented a request to increase the Court Automation Fee from $12 to $20. Revenues continue to decrease. An increase in the fee will assist in paying for current and future expenses related to the establishment and/or maintenance of an automated record keeping system in the Circuit Courts and the Circuit Court Clerk's Offices. Discussion ensued.

A motion was made by Member Carlson, seconded by Member Durkin, that this item be recommended for adoption to the County Board agenda. The motion carried unanimously.

Financial & Administrative

8.21 17-1037

Committee action approving Change Order Number One for a contract with Tyler Technologies Inc., Duluth, Georgia, decreasing the contract value by $1,079,061.50.

County Clerk Carla Wyckoff, Chief County Assessor Marty Paulson, Deputy County Administrator Amy McEwan, Kipp Wilson, County Clerk's Office, and RuthAnne Hall, Purchasing, presented a change order request to decrease the value of the Tyler Technologies contract and extend the "Go Live" date of the new tax administration system. Ms. McEwan indicated Tyler Technologies did not sufficiently staff this project, causing the project to fall behind schedule. Staff has been working with the vendor since January to bring the project back on-schedule but there is a need to delay the "Go Live" date. This has resulted in an increase in cost to maintain the existing tax administration system in an estimated amount of $860,000. The contract value with Tyler Technologies will decrease by $1,079,061.50, but Tyler will be eligible to receive up to $400,000 of the discounted fees back provided it meets specific milestones as outlined in the modified contract. Discussion ensued.

A motion was made by Member Pedersen, seconded by Member Taylor, that this item be approved. The motion carried unanimously.

Aye: 7 - Chair Rummel, Vice Chair Bartels, Member Carlson, Member Durkin, Member Hewitt, Member Pedersen and Member Taylor

In order to be more competitive, it is being recommended salaries for the stationary and lead stationary engineer positions be increased. There are four incumbents whose salaries will be increased to meeting the new minimum salary.

A motion was made by Member Pedersen, seconded by Member Durkin, that this item be recommended for adoption to the consent agenda. The motion carried unanimously.

Committee action authorizing reclassification of a vacant photo lab tech position to an evidence tech position in the Sheriff’s Office.

Human Resources Director, Undersheriff David Hare, and Dawn Wucki-Rossbach, Sheriff's Office, requested authorization to reclassify a vacant Photo Lab Technician position to an Evidence Technician. The Photo Lab Technician work has decreased and those duties have temporarily been assigned to the current Evidence Technician. The department would like to eliminate the Photo Lab Technician position and assign those duties to a new Evidence Technician position that would also provide more support related to the proper handling, maintenance and purging of inventory.

8.28 17-1176

Committee discussion and possible action regarding continued Lake County Television (LCTV) coverage of Financial and Administrative (F&A) Committee Meetings or alternate plan.

Chair Rummel reported that, in 2016, the Financial and Administrative (F&A) Committee authorized a pilot program to film its meetings with the caveat that the pilot program would be reviewed one year later. Ms. Jeanne Kearby, on behalf of the League of Women Voters, expressed support to continue filiming F&A meetings.

County Administrator Barry Burton reported the Committee could consider continuing its filming of F&A committee meetings, discontinue filming of F&A meetings, produce a pre-packaged/edited "County Board Action Wrap-Up video" on a quarterly basis, and/or post audio records of F&A meetings on the County's website.

Member Bartels expressed his support to continue filming F&A meetings. Members Hewitt, Pedersen, and Carlson opposed the continuance of filming F&A meetings, noting the low online viewership of said meetings. County Board Member Hart expressed the need to be transparent and to record F&A meetings as well as all other standing committees. County Board Chairman Aaron Lawlor stressed the need to engage the public, but indicated the filming of meetings does not achieve this goal. He recommended a shortened, pre-packaged wrap-up video that would provide the public with snapshots of the items the county is working on. Substantial discussion enused.

A motion was made by Member Carlson, seconded by Member Hewitt, to discontinue the filming of Financial and Administrative Committees, audio record all standing committee meetings and make them available on the County's website, put together a County Board Action Wrap-Up video on a quarterly basis, and evaluate the process in one year.
