      Commissioner Jacobs explained that $20,000 for this project was approved by the Commission at the March 2016 Commission meeting. Due to internal issues the contract was not processed for a July start date. The contract will be processed through ICOY as soon as possible.
    2. "Burdened for Life: The Myth of Juvenile Record Confidentiality and Expungement in Illinois" Video Solicitation
      Chairman Timberlake explained that due to the time constraints for completion of this video, the Planning and Grants Committee voted to give the Executive Committee approval to review and approve the request. In addition, Chairman Timberlake requested that an email notification be sent to all the Commissioners for their input. The Commissioners vote was taken via email and was unanimously approved. Chairman Timberlake has also requested this topic be added to the agenda for the March Commission meeting. At this time, the solicitation is approved and will move forward.
