The meeting was called to order at 11:15.
Commissioners Gainer and Murphy were absent.
The consent agenda moved quickly ending at 11:55.
The Oak Park - River Forest State Champion Wrestling Team was honored as was
La Casa Norte (an organization dedicated to serving the homeless) and condolences
were expressed for Reverend Patel; he was honored for his service to the community.
15-1516 - Is a proposed resolution protecting access to comprehensive reproductive
health care and supporting increased funding levels. This was moved to the Legislative
Committee.
15-2113 - A proposed change to the Board’s rules of procedure which would allow a
commissioner to register a “no” vote to an item approved by voice vote at a meeting by
notifying the Clerk within 24 hours of the end of the meeting. This was moved to the
Rules Committee.
15-2114 - Calls for the Legislation and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee to hold a
hearing to discuss opiate/heroine addiction and it’s impact on the criminal justice and
the health system in Cook County. This was moved to the Legislation Committee.
The Meeting moved quickly with very little discussion occurring on items. Commissioner
Fritchey did question a subsidy to a (presumably profitable) business like Empire Carpeting.
Commissioner Tobolski responded with “no one would come here without tax incentives”
meaning that the area for this business’s location is a depressed part of the community.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:00.

Item 15-2113 seems problematic as a Commissioner can seem to vote yes in public and then change his vote later when people are unlikely to notice.
