Ogle County Judiciary & Circuit Clerk Committee met Aug. 11.
Here is the minutes provided by the committee:
1. Call Meeting to Order: Chairman McKinney called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m.
Present: Corbitt, Droege and Sulser (arrived at 9:06).
Present via audio: Bowers.
Others: Judge Robert Hanson. Present via audio: Circuit Clerk Kim.
2. Approval of Minutes – July 14, 2020: Motion by Bowers to approve the minutes as presented, 2nd by Droege. Motion carried.
3. Closed Session: None
4. Public Comment: None
5. Judiciary
Monthly Bills: Motion by Bowers to approve the bills totaling $1,407.09, 2nd by Corbitt. Motion carried.
Department Update: Judge Hanson stated they have a lot going on at the Judicial Center. He presented his budget last week for the Finance Committee. He reduced a few lines then created a sub-department for the Public Defenders office. He did modify the request for only 3 Public Defenders instead of the original plan of 4. They are struggling with appointed attorneys since 2 of the current Public Defenders are not attending court in person. This is another reason to have a full time office, which would be more efficient for all departments involved.
6. Circuit Clerk
Monthly Bills: Motion by Bowers to approve the bills totaling $697.51, 2nd by Droege. Motion carried.
Department Update: Stahl stated her budget meeting went fine; no major changes. The Judicial Center had a power outage yesterday and one copy machine is not working.
7. New Business: None
8. Adjournment: Motion by Bowers to adjourn, 2nd by Sulser. Motion carried. Time: 9:15 a.m.
