ITD/BLD Exec. Dir. Fahnestock stated that there will be an upgrade of the access

portal from 127 to a new product 125. He stated that there will be a developed plan for

the upgrade to Tyler's hosted solution, as the current on-premise platform comes to its

model and licensing model. Proposals and costs will be presented at the next meeting.

attributed to AXON, and additional consulting services with Tyler. He indicated that

there is sufficient funds and revenue for the budget, as it was submitted.

Restating and Amending Ordinances 20-296, 18-419, 14-168, 14-12, 13-27, and

11-400 Establishing the Judicial and Public Safety Strategic Planning and

Technology Commission

Chairman, Retired, Judge Brawka, addressed several changes and pending

changes to the ordinance. One of the changes made to the ordinance was the

section pertaining to the Representation of the Kane County Bar Association. It

was requested by the Bar Association that the Commission consider creating an

ex-officio position for the Vice President. This person would have continuity and

knowledge in terms of their executive officers. The second change Judge

Brawka highlighted was the update of the Judicial and Public Safety Strategic

Planning and Technology Commission meeting name. After consultation with

various Members, Brawka stated that it will be submitted for the Commission's

consideration and vote to remove a sub-section out of the Commission meeting

title completely, and keep the rest of the section as it relates to the case

management system. The new Commission meeting name would potentially

change to "Judicial and Public Safety and Technology Commission." Brawka

stated that a final form is not completed at this time, therefore no votes are

needed to be taken at this time.
