Citizen Comments: None Minutes for Correction/Approval: July 3, 2025 The minutes were approved as presented. New Business: 1. PS 2026-06 Yorkville Police Department 2025 Annual Report Review Police Chief Jim Jensen presented the annual report of Yorkville Police Department. He highlighted several points from the report and he said the department goal was to be problem solvers. He said the officers were very proactive and addressed problem areas. He noted stats for arrests, stops, accidents, etc. as a result of their proactivity. He also informed the committee about increased calls for service, staffing, number of complaints, significant activity for Investigations and he highlighted a couple of their major cases. Also, citations are now entered into the computer in the squad cars, FOIA requests have greatly increased and Community Service officers handled 977 calls. Vehicle operating costs and maintenance costs were reported for the current 21 vehicles. Routine maintenance will eventually be done by a mechanic at the new Public Works facility. He said the crime reporting is still a bit skewed as a result of switching from UCR to Nybers reporting system. Over 3,600 hours were spent on directed patrols. Chief Jensen said they are working on a plan for truck enforcement when data center construction begins. This is in response to citizen concerns. The committee discussed truck overweight enforcement in general and the complexities of prosecuting it. It was noted that proper road signage for trucks should be ascertained. Page 2 of 2 He said crisis calls decreased from last year. A total of 6,800 hours of training were completed and all training standards have been met or exceeded. Drones are also used by the police department and 21 missions have been flown in addition to use at special events. 2. PS 2026-07 Adjudication Reports for January and February 2026 Chief Jensen said 30-40 tickets were issued for “no parking” when there was more than 2-inches of snow. He said HOA's were notified prior to winter and numerous warnings were posted and subsequently ignored. In other adjudication cases, tickets were written for dogs at large, solicitor complaints and parking violations by a commercial truck were observed and cited. Alcohol compliance checks were done with no violators at the latest check. 3. PS 2026-08 Take Home Squad Policy - Discussion Chief Jensen gave some background for this discussion and said, in the past a policy allowed squads to be taken home until the policy was abused. The city enacted an ordinance that squads could be taken no further than 10 miles. Currently, one of the Deputy Chiefs who lives farther from Yorkville is “on call” for a week each month. Chief Jensen requested that for Command staff, the distance be expanded and the Deputy Chief be allowed to take the squad home on weeks he is “on-call”. This would facilitate a quicker response to an emergency or special situation. In researching this matter, Kendall County and Oswego command staff are allowed to take squads home with no mileage restrictions. The committee was OK with this request and Chief Jensen will inform the other Aldermen and move it forward to the City Council. Old Business: None Additional Business: Alderman Funkhouser discussed changes coming for KenCom. He attended a Board meeting where expansion was discussed, however, not enough information was available or funding mechanism in place. The information was based on the wants and needs. A new building or expansion is proposed and Tyler New World were 2 aspects discussed. KenCom has money saved to help fund, but additional funds are needed. There is land available adjacent to the jail, but they must receive authorization to use it and the land must also be connected to the fiber system. Mr. Funkhouser will give an update at the April 14th City Council meeting. Chief Jensen noted that BKFD might build a new station and vacate their current station which could be used for KenCom. Recently, an analysis was done of the building and it must have a very high level of infrastructure, said Mr. Funkhouser. A very aggressive build is being discussed with construction desired for early 2028. In another matter, Chairman Funkhouser discussed an emergency operations plan and suggested a quick review at a future date. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 7:24pm.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART Facebook Post (February 5, 2026): The Yorkville Police Department has seen a recent increase in Fraud and Scam calls for service recently. As a reminder, gift cards are meant for people you know as gifts. Gift cards are not accepted as payment for services or utilities at legitimate businesses. If a company is asking for payment in the form of gift cards, please re-think that purchase or service and consider that you may be falling for a scam. If you get a suspicious alert on an electronic device, stay calm. Often hackers will gain access to computers and act as customer support to trick people into clicking on links or provide payment information before fixing the problem. If you suspect an issue with your electronic device, visit a retail store associated with that device to get assistance. Facebook Posts Facebook Post (February 2, 2026): This past Friday, we had the privilege of hosting a group of students from Parkview Christian Academy for a tour of YPD. Honestly… you all had some great questions and fall into the “we actually don’t mind hanging out with you” category — which says a lot. Thanks for spending some time with us! We hope you enjoyed the visit and your aura improves with those cool YPD shades Facebook Post (February 4, 2026): TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!! Our annual blood drive is being held today at the Yorkville Public Library from 1pm to 6pm. This event is open to public so please stop by to donate! Facebook Post (February 9, 2026): A HUGE shoutout to everyone who participated in the Battle Of The Badge blood drive — what an incredible success! A special thanks to Officer Soebbing for your dedication in coordinating the event, not only did we meet our goal, we surpassed it. Since every unit collected can help save up to three lives, your drive touched an amazing 114 lives CHECK OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS: Donors Registered: 38 Donors Deferred: 2 Units Collected: 38 Goals vs. Results: Whole Blood Goal: 29 Whole Blood Collected: 28 Double Red Cells Collected: 10 You're good people Officer Soebbing and THANK YOU to all those who were brave enough to support our mission! Facebook Post (February 10, 2026): Corneils Road The Yorkville Police Department, with the help of the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, conducted a directed patrol on Corneils Road this morning. The purpose of the detail was to educate and enforce the 8 ton weight limit. Facebook Post (February 13, 2026): Does anyone know if you can (or should) smoke a pork shoulder that 34 officers shoved fake blood and gauze through? Asking for a friend. Now that we have the important question out of the way… YPD officers train monthly throughout the year on a variety of topics, and this month’s focus was Emergency Medical Trauma Care. Our instructors took it to the next level by pumping simulated blood through unique training devices (yep… pork shoulders) to replicate the realism of packing a wound. This out of the box approach makes a difference. We’ve witnessed our officers utilize this very training to literally save lives over the past several years. A big fist bump to Officers Gerlach, Shepherd, and Heiser for ensuring our training is certified through the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board AND more importantly, that our officers have the skills needed to serve our community. Facebook Post (February 27, 2026): On Sunday, March 1st, we'll be participating in the Polar Plunge to raise money for Illinois Special Olympics. The event starts at 1pm at Loon Lake in Silver Springs State Park and is expected to last about an hour. This is a great opportunity to support Illinois Special Olympics!

These efforts are not driven by obligation, but by an authentic reflection of who you are as a person. We are grateful to have you on Team YPD. A special thank you to Shari Chapman and We Are Called To Care for recognizing Officer Swanson and the impact of his work.

We will absolutely comply with providing the information needed by the district. Commented [KF12R10]: See suggested change Commented [HB13R10]: Because the statute is written in the negative “a student must not be issued...a ticket...by any person,” I don’t think it works to narrow it to “authorized employees,” so I have stricken authorized. Commented [HB14]: SB 1519 (P.A. 104-430) requires this Agreement to include this provision Commented [JJ15R14]: I am fine with this. 11-6-24 clean 2-23-26 draft SRO IGA--CUSD 115 AND CITY OF YORKVILLE 9 1295922.23009459.1 to the District and the City and shall work through the last day of student attendance as designated by the District. 7.
