So that's a lot of the November, December backlog getting cleared off there. 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:05.780 Our previous Victim and Witness Coordinator has achieved her 7-11 temporary law license 00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:13.620 and she's begun practicing as a 7-11 licensed law clerk in misdemeanor court, so we're all 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:19.080 very proud of the work that she's done and glad that she's in a position to help out. 00:04:19.080 --> 00:04:24.560 We've hired a new Victim and Witness Coordinator to replace her, that's a woman named Allison 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:25.560 O'Rourke. 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.300 She's in the process of getting her master's degree 00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:30.639 in social work. 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.000 She got her bachelor's degree at Champaign Urbana 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.839 and moved to the area with her husband. 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.579 And she's come into a trial by fire. 00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:45.220 Her first two weeks here, we've had a trial, 00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:48.220 a serious trial, two weeks in a row. 00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:52.160 But she seems to be doing well. 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.560 She hasn't batted an eye at Stan Lake. 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.740 and is getting along well with everyone. 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.139 With that, I'd be happy to answer any questions 00:05:01.139 --> 00:05:02.079 anybody may have. 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.959 I do have a question. 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:05.800 Sure. 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:09.079 On your report, the juvenile abuse and neglect. 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.279 Is that, I mean, if that's actually child abuse, 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.199 is what you're, yeah, so, okay. 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.279 Like juvenile crime is like juvenile delinquency, 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:23.480 that's the word right above it. 00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:41.200 Abuse and Neglect is DCFS cases where children are either removed from the home while the parents go through remedial measures or the children remain in the home and the parents will work with DCFS to rectify things. 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:42.680 Well, that's what it all is. 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.200 Okay. 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:49.680 Let me open some. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:57.439 Sometimes there's multiple children in one family. 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:04.720 Usually, it's not just one child that's removed. If you've got a household with five kids and 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.639 there may be only abuse or neglect of one, but all five go, you know, but if it's not 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.759 safe for one, it's not safe for any of them. That's it. Yeah. 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:39.759 We're still working on our e-citations this weekend. It got off to a little rough start, but we're working out those kinks. The Sheriff's Office has been writing tickets, free board has paused for a moment, so we move back on. 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.399 Yeah, there's not a whole lot in here. 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:45.759 Do you have any questions? 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.560 Yep, I see it's tax season again. 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:56.039 So I see we got $103 and 88 cents in. 00:06:56.039 --> 00:06:59.959 So when do we see a lot of that come in generally? 00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:02.879 So maybe a little bit because they'll get a notice 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.879 and I think they have 30 or 45 days to check to it. 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:14.120 Check to it and then if they don't object then it's us. There is a little waiting. Okay. Thank you. 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.199 Okay. Well, thank you, Chanel. Appreciate it. I'll move on to 7.6, Youth Diversion Fees. 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:34.839 The last deposit was $648.55, giving us a grand total of $9,941.30. 00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:46.200 Fence. So that is moving along night's sleep. Old Business 8.1, Review and Approval of Use 00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:54.080 Perjury Funding Applications. And Georgia did make the small change that we asked for. 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.680 She puts the 501C3 status on there. 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.599 And it looks, you know, we've got, 00:08:02.599 --> 00:08:07.120 it has to be under 18, you know, children or juveniles 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.120 that are not in the court, you know, in court, 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.079 some situation right now, and under 18. 00:08:18.599 --> 00:08:22.799 So I think that satisfies the question 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:50.799 Are you happy with the format now? Yes, I have a motion to approve. All right. Going to get a second. Second. Any further discussion? Seeing none. All those in favor say aye.
