was established.
Citizen Comments: None
Minutes for Correction/Approval: January 2, 2020
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PS 2020-06 Monthly Report Review
Chief Jensen gave a comparison of the number of employees from 2018 to 2019 and said
they are now fully staffed. He reported on community events, training, auto accidents
and he said the crashes continue at Rt. 126 and Rt. 47. Alderman Frieders said he is
aware of a sign with flashing lights for a similar situation. The Chief said the intersection
has a sight line issue and the info has been given to Public Works Director Eric Dhuse
who forwarded it to IDOT. Galena Rd. and Rt. 47 has the second highest number
according to Chief Jensen and the committee briefly discussed the issues there.
Chief Jensen also commented on the number of stops being made, but tickets issued are
comparatively low. He said 4,000 traffic stops were made in the last 6 months, with only
20% tickets being issued and 80% written warnings. All agreed that trucks are slowing
on Rt. 47. He said Tuesday is the big crash day and targeted enforcement will be
undertaken in the future. He reported on Part I and II crimes which are down in both
parts compared to 2018, though calls for service increased.

2. PS 2020-07 Adjudication Reports for December 2019-February 2020
Many Building and Zoning tickets were written along with some traffic and cannabis
tickets for underage persons. Chief Jensen said vape sensors have been installed in the
schools.
3. PS 2020-08 COPS Hiring Grant
A grant application was submitted for a 3-year contract for staffing with reimbursement
up to $125,000 total. It was written for the schools and if awarded, the Chief said an
additional school resource officer would be hired. The grant would be funded for salary
and benefits and the grants will be awarded in June or July.
Chief Jensen is working with the schools for a violence prevention grant. The award
would be $300,000-$500,000. Alderman Frieders shared comments about a security
issue he observed at the high school. Chairman Tarulis shared compliments about the
professional manner in which an officer handled a situation at one of the schools.
4. PS 2020-09 Strategic National Stockpile Plan
A plan will be put into place in the event of a serious situation, including the virus
recently seen. He said all cities would go to the county to pick up whatever supplies were
required. They are looking at staffing, a central pick-up point and all other details. All
department heads will be attending certain levels of training prior to mid-year.
5. PS 2020-10 Emergency Pipeline Plan
There are two major pipelines that run through Yorkville, said Chief Jensen. A police
staff member recently attended training for the event of a major pipeline breach. It is part
of a preparedness plan for the city and emergency numbers are being gathered.
Old Business:
1. PS 2019-28 Fleet Status and Options
Chief Jensen spoke about the ongoing discussions regarding the proposed vehicle leasing.
He said research was done for feasibility and for the possibility of the City acting as their
own leasing agent. Engaging with Enterprise would cost about $3,000 more per year
than for the city to do it. He said $150,000 is being proposed for the upcoming budget
which would fund about 3 squads. After consideration, he recommended not entering
into a lease program with Enterprise.
The Chief briefly discussed squad equipment and said the most expensive items are the
radios and in-car video cameras. He said KenCom is paying for the radios and licensing
and in an emergency, the officers can switch to an encrypted channel.
Chairman Tarulis and Chief Jensen recently attended a meeting with the Health
Department concerning the coronavirus. They discussed how to handle and contain it
and to also develop a response.

There was also a brief discussion of a possible sharing of resources with the Kendall
County Sheriff if an addition was built on to the Public Safety building for the Police
Department.
Additional Business None

YORKVILLE POLICE
DEPARTMENT
Monthly Report
March 2020
Chief of Police James Jensen
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Yorkville Police Department is to work in partnership with the
community to protect life and property, assist neighborhoods with solving their
problems, and enhance the quality of life in our city.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
COVID-19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. The
disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever
and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing
your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact with
people who are unwell.
Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person
when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or
object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose or mouth.
People of all ages can be infected by COVID -19. Older people, and people with pre-
existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) appear to be
more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.
The Yorkville Police Department has been working very closely with the Kendall
County Health Department, Bristol Kendall Fire Department, local law enforcement
and the Illinois Department of Public Health to help in reducing the spread of
COVID-19. Throughout the month of March, we have been working tirelessly to
protect the residents we serve. We have also been working hard to protect those
that serve, both sworn and civilian.
This month we have placed the highest priority on the health, safety and wellbeing
of all involved with the development and implementation of Special Orders,
procedures and protocols. We have purchased critical equipment such as hand
sanitizer, N-95 masks and other necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to
keep our staff safe.
Upon review of the crash and crime data in this report you will see a sharp decline
in traffic crashes and officer-initiated activity. You will also see a slight increase in
criminal activity as compared to March of 2019. While we can not say for sure the
reasons for this, we can assume that the Governors Executive “shelter in place”
Order has a lot to do with it. Regarding officer-initiated activity, COVID-19 is the
direct cause for the decline in activity. The high exposure rate and the need to
maintain a full and healthy work force is the reason.
The Yorkville Police Department will continue to provide professional services
during these unprecedented times. As this disease continues to affect the United
City of Yorkville, we will remain diligent in our efforts and be prepared to handle
anything that arises.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
DETECTIVE SQUAD HIGHLIGHTS
During the month of March 2020, the Detective Squad adjusted to performing its duties with
minimal interaction with the public. In place of face to face meetings with victims, suspects and
witnesses, detectives handled most business via telephone and emai l. Although some
investigations were slowed or halted due to the restrictions, each detective contacted the victims
in their cases and explained the status of their case, to assure them that their investigation would
resume when prudent. Although limited by public health restrictions, the detectives found other
activities and tasks to remain productive such as updating case files, reviewing sex
offender/violent offender files, and completing online training.

Policy. Due to the timing of the vehicle auction and the Committee meetings, two vehicles were
brought to the City Council on April 14th for surplus disposal approval.
Squad M4 - 2003 GMC Yukon VIN #1GKEK13ZX3J341537
This vehicle is a 2003 GMC Yukon (4WD) with 124,445 miles. The vehicle was previously a
police seizure and is currently assigned to investigations. Due to its age, mileage and reliability
this vehicle is not authorized to leave the city. In fiscal year 2020, the vehicle maintenance costs
for this vehicle totaled $1,660.76. Should the vehicle remain in the PD fleet, it would require
costly additional repairs. In accordance with the Fleet Replacement Policy, this vehicle is
classified as a high priority replacement with a score of 39.
Squad M12 - 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe VIN #1GNLC2E07DR342448
This vehicle is a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe (2WD) with 140,780 miles. The vehicle was originally
purchased for $26,935.00 in 2013. This vehicle spent the majority of its time as a patrol vehicle,
until being assigned to administrative duty last summer. Due to its age, mileage and reliability
this vehicle will not be authorized to leave the city. In fiscal year 2020, the vehicle maintenance
costs for this vehicle totaled $616.48. Should the vehicle remain in the PD fleet, it would require
costly additional repairs. In accordance with the Fleet Replacement Policy, this vehicle is
classified as a high priority replacement with a score of 28.
Resolution
Staff recommended to send the two police squads (2003 GMC Yukon VIN#
1GKEK13ZX3J341537 and 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe VIN# 1GNLC2E07DR342448) to a public
auction upon the approval of the surplus disposal.
The vehicles were sold at auction on April 21, 2020.
Squad M4 - 2003 GMC Yukon VIN #1GKEK13ZX3J341537 - $1,000
Squad M12 - 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe VIN #1GNLC2E07DR342448 - $3,600

Neighbors by Ring Doorbell Program
Public Safety Committee – May 7, 2020
N/A
Majority
Approval
James Jensen Police
Name Department
Resolution supporting Yorkville Police Department involvement and participation
in the Neighbors by Ring program.
Summary
Currently, as part of the police department investigative efforts, Officers conduct neighborhood
or business district “canvases” to attempt to obtain information to assist in furthering our investigation
of criminal acts. A canvass is an activity in which the Officer goes door to door in the area where a
crime occurred and asks citizens if they witnessed any of the act(s) or suspects and if they might have
video surveillance footage of the criminal act or suspects. Information obtained during a canvass by the
police department is received from citizens voluntarily. This type of investigative procedure is a long-
standing practice in law enforcement around the world. The Yorkville Police Department strives to find
more effective and efficient methods to investigate criminal or suspicious activities while staying within
our legal bounds of citizens constitutional rights. Through networking with other police agencies, our
department learned of program that is offered by Neighbors by Ring which allows Officers to conduct a
canvas using a web-based application. The Neighbors by Ring application is a free program offered by
a company that produces home surveillance cameras.
Background
While vetting this web-based application, we determined that this program allows citizens, if
they so choose, to download the application on to their device (cell phone, tablet, iPad or other portable
device) from Neighbors by Ring and sign up as a registered participant at no cost to the City or resident.
A registered participant then has the ability to voluntarily share video related information from their own
cameras on their property with other registered users including the police department through the
Neighbors by Ring application. It is completely voluntary to sign up and participate in the program and
the registered participant controls if they share information and what information they share from their
cameras. The police department cannot access participants cameras or their video footage through the
Neighbors by Ring application or program. The Neighbors by Ring program does not require a specific
camera system to be used in order to participate in the program.
How does this program help the police department? The Neighbors by Ring program is the
equivalent to a “canvass” as described above. The police department, through a Ring Acknowledgement
Form (Exhibit A), would have the ability to ask users for assistance in the form of information and video
footage via the Neighbors by Ring application. Registered participants would then decide if they have
information to share and also decide if they want to share the information. This program request would
be in addition to a traditional canvas of an area where a criminal activity occurred.
In order to participate, the Yorkville Police Department would need to complete the Ring
Acknowledgement Form (Exhibit A) to participate in their free program. This will assist in the
investigation of suspicious and criminal activity in the City of Yorkville. This program will create an
additional partnership with our community stakeholders with the intent and interest in public safety and
crime prevention & apprehension. Please refer to the Neighbors for Law Enforcement Informational
Sheet (Exhibit B) for specific details regarding this program and helpful resources such as frequently
asked questions.

Neighbors for Law Enforcement
The Neighbors App by Ring is a free app designed to help community members connect and stay
informed about what’s going on around them – whether they own a Ring device or not. Local police uses
Neighbors to share important crime and safety information with residents, and work with their
communities to make neighborhoods safer. Ring is proud to work with local police across the country,
through the Neighbors app, to help open the lines of communication between local police and the
communities they serve. Ring believes when communities and law enforcement work together, safer
neighborhoods can become a reality.
How Law Enforcement Uses Neighbors
Connect With The Community
Through clearly identified posts denoting their role,
local police officers can view and comment on public
Neighbors app posts within their jurisdiction to
connect with and help members of the community.
Updates From Official Sources
Local police can post official updates to help their
community to stay informed about issues that may
potentially affect residents.
Work Together
Users have the option to provide helpful information
if local police ask for assistance with an investigation.
Users can choose whether to share videos, or opt
out of future requests. This process has been
designed to ensure that no user information is
shared with local police unless the user chooses to
do so, including whether or not they received a
request.
How User Privacy Is Protected
No Access to Devices
Local police are never given access to users’
cameras or devices through Neighbors or Ring.
No Device Locations
The Neighbors Portal does not provide local police
with the addresses at which any devices are located
without a user’s express consent.
No User Account Information
Users are identified in the Neighbors app
posts/comments only as “Neighbor #”. Local police
see the same information on Neighbors as regular
users and do not receive additional information
about the post, the user posting or commenting.
No Direct Access to Users
Local police can use Neighbors to ask their
community for assistance with an investigation.
When they do so, users retain absolute control to
determine whether they may have potentially
relevant videos, whether or not they elect to share
any videos, or opt out of future requests. Local
police cannot see how many Ring users received a
request, who declined to share, or which users
opted-out of future requests.

E-Citation (Brazos) Software Implementation
Public Safety Committee – May 7, 2020
N/A
Majority
None (Discussion Only)
The approval and purchase of an Electronic Citation Software Program (Brazos)
and the authorization for an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City
of Yorkville and the Kendall County Circuit Clerks Office.
James Jensen Police
Name Department
Summary
Discussion regarding the utilization and implementation of E-Citation (Brazos) Software.
Background
As part of the goal setting process for the United City of Yorkville the council identified
Automation and Technology as the number one goal for 2020. In December of 2018, Kencom Dispatch
Center went live with a new Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) software from Tyler/New World. This
new software now integrates with the Yorkville Police Department Records Management System (RMS)
which houses all the department police reports as well as traffic citations, written warnings and traffic
crash data. The new CAD software greatly assists officers in completing most police reports, including
traffic contacts in the field. Currently, all traffic citations, written warnings and city ordinance
violations are hand written by the officers and returned to the Support Services Division for manual
entry into our RMS. Once these documents are manually entered, they are transported to the Kendall
County Circuit Clerk’s Office for court purposes and again, manually entered into their database.
To improve and streamline our operations the police department is requesting authorization to
purchase electronic citation software, otherwise known as Brazos, from Tyler/New World. This product
will interface with our CAD provider (Kencom), our RMS and the Kendall County Circuit Clerks Office
when completing state traffic citations, written warnings and city ordinance violation citations. Because
Kencom Dispatch Center is currently the client for Tyler/New World, this purchase would go through
Kencom. Kencom would invoice the City of Yorkville for the Tyler/New World Brazos Electronic
Citation software program in an amount not to exceed $59,200.00. The Kendall County Circuit Clerks
Office has agreed to fund a portion of the software, professional service and hosting/maintenance
service and hosting/maintenance costs as described in the IGA (Exhibit A) in the amount of $30,900.00.
They have also agreed to fund a portion of the ongoing annual maintenance fees for Brazos electronic
citation software as described in the IGA. Because the Kendall County Circuit Clerk does not have a
contractual relationship with KenCom the United City of Yorkville would initially cover the cost for the
Brazos project. KenCom would submit an invoice for reimbursement to the City of Yorkville and the
City would then invoice the Kendall County Circuit Clerk for their portion ($30,300). The remaining
portion of the cost to get this program running will be funded by the United City of Yorkville in the
amount of $28,300.00. Below is a cost breakdown for this program:
Cost Breakdown
One Time Software Costs $8,775.00
Hardware Costs $15,525.00
Professional Services & Training $2,500.00
Initial Maintenance Costs $1,500.00
Total Initial Cost $28,300.00
Annual Maintenance Costs – FY 22 Budget $2,732.00

Subject: E-Citation (Brazos) Software Implementation
***At this time this is an informational item only. Due to the potential budget implications of COVID-
19, as discussed in the last city council meeting, we will suspend the purchasing of this program until
further budget discussions take place
Operational Efficiency & Savings
With the implementation of this program we expect to see operational efficiencies and cost
savings not only with the Circuit Clerks Office but within our organization. Officers will
significantly reduce the amount of time they are on the street completing citations and written
warnings along with the records department and data entry. This program will also offer an
added safety benefit by allowing the officers to better focus their attention during traffic stops on
the violator and approaching traffic.
The table below illustrates the expected time savings:

(Projected)
FY 19 FY 18
Citations 631 818 966
