A. Update on Revision of County Code 2-48
Madam Chairman Pierog called on members Iqbal, Kious, and Shepro to provide a brief update on the revision of County Code 2-48. Iqbal stated the importance of modifications to the code pertaining to the County Board and the standing committees. He explained that there were several unclear areas in the code regarding the standing committees such as the responsibilities of the committee Chair. Iqbal stated that changes were made and a draft was presented to the Board Members before going to the State’s Attorney’s Office for review. He acknowledged the Board Members have a short time left in their terms and the hope is to leave a legacy that provides a clear platform for the next Board Members. He requested feedback and stated this is the time for revisions. Madam Chairman encouraged all department heads to review the draft and provide feedback. Iqbal noted that Dev. Dir. VanKerkhoff was working on an amendment regarding jurisdictions for some committees. He spoke on the importance of the relationship between Department Directors and the Committee Members. Shepro stated several concerns. He noted the mischaracterization of this group being called a committee. He explained that there was one discussion and no meetings. Shepro discussed the purpose of the Code revision, which was the proliferation of AD HOC Committees and recommended the ARP Committee become a standing committee. He detailed several complications that have arisen, which included major changes to definitions of how committees work and their powers. Shepro recommended that the revision process be restarted. Madam Chairman Pierog requested that the State’s Attorney address the definitions of an AD HOC Committee and Standing Committee. Member Surges stated concern that work should be done within existing committees in order to limit additional AD HOC Committees. Madam Chair discussed the revision process as an informal group who had volunteered to make updates to the code. Much discussion on AD HOC Committees, their workflow, reporting, and purpose ensued.
Shepro reiterated his concern that this project had gone way beyond its intention. Kious requested that the group clearly define the goals in order to move forward. Pierog suggested that the group define the steps going forward and that one member provide a report to the County Board. Martin discussed his concerns and the belief that the project should be restarted. Pierog stated reasons that the Code needed to be revised. She thanked Iqbal for the draft, which was a great start. She recommended that ASA Niermann attend the next meeting to assist with development of an AD HOC Committee with the purpose of revising the Code. Pierog stated the importance of defining the rules and operating procedures. She affirmed that the Open Meetings Act had not been broken. She acknowledged Iqbal, Shepro and Kious for volunteering to lead this discussion.
