Law and Justice Committee Meeting Monday Morning

The Law and Justice Committee of the McHenry County Board is slated to meet at 8:30 a.m. Monday in a Conference Room of the County Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.

The agenda includes a presentation by Dr. Joe Williams, currently the Assistant Superintendent of the Regional Office of Education. This relates to the McHenry County Compulsory Attendance Program.

Matters related to law enforcement division of the County includes the appointment of 13 individuals representing McHenry County law enforcement agencies to the McHenry County Emergency Telephone System Board. Also the 2011 McHenry County Emergency Operations Plan is being presented for review before it goes on public display until December 21 when it will be considered for approval by the Committee and the County Board. This action is necessary in order for McHenry County to receive between $70,000 and $90,000 a year income for emergency operations.

The Committee is also to consider the continuation of the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan and the continuation of the related committee. Approval of this plan by the County is necessary in order for the County to receive Federal Mitigation funding of approximately $65,000.

Another resolution to be considered by the Law and Justice Committee is for the continuation of the position of a Commission for the Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) within the Sheriff's Department. The cost for this position of $73,000 is included in the 2011 county budget.

There also could be more discussion on courtroom space and utilization as well as a discussion on judicial review and expenses.
