Ceremony honoring those lost. 00:15:01
Will also be held on May 15th, 2025. Signed by all 5 County Commissioners. 00:15:05
Please, Sir, you know well, first of all, thank you all. 00:15:15
I really do appreciate being here today. 00:15:19
Perry, I really love that you read that this morning and that you're going to come read that on Thursday for us. 00:15:22
I feel like every week, every other day. 00:15:27
There's some kind of recognition event? 00:15:30
You know, National Donut Day, which is usually very important to cops, I will admit that. 00:15:33
There's something going on every single day, right? 00:15:38
And I think that personally, I get a little jaded over it. 00:15:42
Through the years, the sheriff and I've had lots of conversations about doing, even continue doing this event. 00:15:47
It takes a lot of planning, a lot of coordination. 00:15:52
It's it's a lot of work to put it on. 00:15:56
But also. 00:15:59
For some people, events like this, weeks like this are just one more day of the year that really brings up some some really bad 00:16:01
memories. 00:16:05
Umm, all that together. 00:16:10
I had kind of a gut check moment last month. 00:16:14
I was listening to one of our employees speak as he was getting an award. 00:16:17
And he brought up Sam's name. 00:16:21
And he started crying. 00:16:23
And in that jaded. 00:16:25
Pit of my heart, right? 00:16:27
I thought this guy was in Sam's friend. 00:16:29
He didn't work on the road with Sam. 00:16:33
Like why is he getting choked up? 00:16:35
And I realized that I don't get to choose the impact. 00:16:38
That someone like Sam has on another person. 00:16:41
I don't get to choose the impact that his sacrifice has on the community. 00:16:44
I have said it many times in recent history, but I believe that. 00:16:49
Public safety is a community event. It's a community struggle. 00:16:54
The Sheriff's Office doesn't do that alone. Sheriff Reeves doesn't do that alone. 00:16:57
And because of that, events like this mean a lot to a community who strives to be safe. 00:17:01
And strives to make sure that they are safe every day as they're doing what they want to do in life. 00:17:07
So for that reason, I think about it and the 165 people. 00:17:12
Who lost their lives trying to make sure that their communities were safe? 00:17:17
And the two from Colorado. 00:17:20
They deserve to have their names read in front of the community and be recognized in front of the community. 00:17:22
Though we may not know them. Though I may have no connection with them. 00:17:26
We are connected in that entire mission. 00:17:30
To make sure. 00:17:34
That our kids, our families. 00:17:36
Everything we do is safe as we as we live through life. 00:17:38
So for that reason. 00:17:42
You know, looking toward the future, this is going to be an ongoing event that we do. 00:17:43
And and proudly. 00:17:47
So we'd like to invite the community. Anyone is welcome to come. 00:17:48
No reservation is needed at 6:00 PM on Thursday evening. 00:17:53
There will be. 00:17:57
A time where we read off all the names to include the 10 names that you just read here. 00:17:58
We will also have a 21 gun salute. 00:18:03
Have somewhere to play taps? 00:18:06
And actually this year, in past years, we've done a. 00:18:08
Digital recording of the national anthem, but we're gonna have someone sing it this year. 00:18:10
So I think it'll be a really good event. 00:18:14
One thing we're focusing on this year is to make sure that long drug out speeches like what I just did are not present there and 00:18:16
that the people on that list. 00:18:21
Or the focus of the ceremony. 00:18:25
So there's not gonna be any guest speak or anything like that? 00:18:27
It's just us reading off those names, remembering them. 00:18:30
And spending time together as a community. So thank you very much and we look forward to Thursday and anybody is welcome to come. 00:18:32
Thank you so much. I'm sure the board would like to say some words, Commissioner James. 00:18:38
Spirit, which you just said, Captain, I'm a man of many words. I'll keep my words for you here. 00:18:43
Thank you and thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. 00:18:47
I appreciate you and your. 00:18:51
And your crew, thank you. Thank you. 00:18:52
And Commissioner Maxey, thank you, Madam Chair. 00:18:55
Thank you, Captain Turner. I don't know if any of us could have said any, any better than what you just said right there. So thank 00:18:57
you for those words. They they. 00:19:01
Reign true with me. It makes me kind of gut check myself sometimes, maybe when I think of certain people or certain situations 00:19:05
that might not be. 00:19:09
Totally impactful to me, but they impact others and so thank you for those words. 00:19:13
The job that you and the other men and women in blue, so to speak, do every day. 00:19:16
Across our country. 00:19:23
Is something that's not just. 00:19:24
Seen and observed and felt by those who Don the uniform, but it's also seen and felt, as you said, by the community members. 00:19:26
But probably nobody more closely than your families. 00:19:33
So I not only thank you and your service and our other men and women, especially here in Will County who who keep us safe every 00:19:36
day, but also your families. Thank you, thank you. 00:19:40
Commissioner Ross. 00:19:45
Captain Turner, I just want to say thank you in a state that wants to continually attack our peace officers. 00:19:47
And make. 00:19:53
Their rights go away while enabling our criminal. 00:19:54
Criminal folks and their rights. 00:19:58
It's challenging. It's tough to be a peace officer in this state right now. 00:20:00
And my hat goes off to you and the men and women. 00:20:04
That surrounds you and across our state. 00:20:06
So diligently Don the uniform on a daily basis and and do so and protect our lives while putting theirs at risk. And I just want 00:20:09
to say thank you to that. 00:20:14
To those fallen officers. 00:20:19
Uh, you guys have done a fine job. 00:20:21
Of recognizing Sam Brownlee. 00:20:23
Umm, not everyone can get a shooting range, you know, named after him. 00:20:27
But that's how their memory goes on, right? 00:20:31
For those officers that were impacted and continue to be impacted by that. 00:20:35
It provides a reminder of what a great man. 00:20:39
He was and how he served the folks of well County in such a great way so. 00:20:42
Obviously, our heart continues to go out to his family and to those impacted by his Lawson. 00:20:46
I just want to say thank you. Job well done. Thank you, Sir. 00:20:51
Well, I agree with everything that's been said, but I am so humbled and so honored to get to serve with you, to serve with our. 00:20:53
Sheriff's Office I I don't know how you do it and as long as I'm. 00:21:02
A commissioner as well as not a commissioner. 00:21:08
In Well County, we will always, always appreciate and we will always more than anything respect our law enforcement. 00:21:11
So just know that we are here, we stand with you, stand beside you and just. 00:21:19
Honor you for all the sacrifices that you make that make us feel safe. So thank you so, so much and we would be honored to have a 00:21:24
picture with you. 00:21:28

Chair to sign IFC Incorporated LLC. 00:25:52
Good morning, Commissioners. Jason Chester with the Health Department. 00:25:59
This is a. 00:26:02
Small Grant. 00:26:04
Award for. 00:26:06
Outreach specifically targeting local medical providers associated with our diabetes prevention program. 00:26:08
And you all are probably recall we've talked about the diabetes prevention program here, that's a year long program that folks 00:26:14
they're pre diabetic can go through. 00:26:18
And to help facilitate lifestyle changes to prevent them from progressing in the type 2 diabetes. 00:26:23
Our department. 00:26:29
Provide screenings throughout the community. 00:26:31
To see if. 00:26:34
Well, county residents. 00:26:36
Need that program and can enter into that program the part that is missing. 00:26:38
Is umm. 00:26:42
Knowledge by local physicians that they can refer patients to the program so if you. 00:26:44
During your local. 00:26:50
Are your annual physical? Your physician recommends that. 00:26:51
Determines that you are prediabetic. 00:26:56
Knowledge of this program would allow them to refer you to our department for the Diabetes Prevention Program, so this grant would 00:26:59
pay for targeted outreach specifically to medical providers in the community. 00:27:04
This was presented to the board on the past round on April 20th of this year and I recommend the board approved contract, right? 00:27:11

Third party supplemental environmental project. Sep agreement for electronics. 00:27:37
Recycling project proposed by Owens Brockway Glass Container, Inc and authorized the chair design. 00:27:42
Good morning again. This is. 00:27:49
Relates to funding for a supplemental environmental project. 00:27:52
Supplemental environmental projects are. 00:27:56
The result of typically the result of enforcement action. 00:27:59
In lieu of a fine. 00:28:03
To an enforcement agency like CDPH E, local businesses can opt to fund supplemental environmental projects. 00:28:06
In this case, a local business reached out to us, they became aware of the electronics recycling against the county hosted, they 00:28:15
reached out to us and asked if they could fund those projects as a part of supplemental environmental project so. 00:28:23
In this case the funding is in the amount of $100,000. That would fund two years worth. 00:28:31
Electronics waste recycling events. 00:28:38
This year we're going to have two events, one on July 26th and 7th. 00:28:41
And one on August 9th. And Greeley. 00:28:45
Both of those events combining will cost about $50,000. The event will then fund to similar events for the project will then fund 00:28:48
2 similar events in 2026. 00:28:53
Uh, this was presented to the board via pastor on April 30th of this year and I recommend that the Board approve the contract. 00:28:58
OK. I just have a question. Can I have those dates again? Yes, ma'am. 00:29:04
And I will say we're still under. 00:29:09
We're still in the bid phase right now, but the dates have been set July 26th and 7th. That's going to be at 7th high school. 00:29:12
And then August 9th here in Greeley and we will obviously promote those events. 00:29:19
In the next few months, super. 00:29:26
All right. Any further questions? 00:29:28
Madam Chair, I move to approve contract ID 9418. 00:29:30
Second by Commissioner Maxie, second by Commissioner Ross. Further discussion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say nay. 00:29:34
