The committee voted to rescind JPSR‑5‑25, which had been issued to Video and Sound Service Inc. The resolution description said the rescission covers maintenance and repair of the county campus security system and cited a contract total amount of $301,582. Chair Evans called for the motion and announced, after a second and questions, “the motion carries.”

The committee approved an action on item 25‑889 (Curry Motors Frankfurt Inc.) to decrease the purchase order by $308,518 and close the contract because the contract expired. Member Childress made the motion and the chair announced the motion carried after members asked and received procurement updates from county staff and the transportation director.

The committee approved grant item 25‑890 (GPN 625) to fund the Family Violence Coordinating Council for SFY 2026 through the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority in the amount of $49,000. The chair called for the motion and the committee approved the grant.

Several procurement and contract administrative items were received and placed on file, including the Public Defender's Office monthly statistical report for February 2025 and item 258929 (identified in the staff summary as 704 Hour LLC d/b/a Chevrolet of Watsonville National Auto Fleet Group) to decrease the remaining encumbrance and close a contract that had been for 16 Ford Broncos and was canceled by the vendor due to supply‑chain interruptions.

All listed motions were called, seconded, and the chair announced each motion carried. The meeting record in the transcript shows no recorded roll‑call vote tallies; the chair announced outcomes after asking for objections.

Ending: The committee had no further old business and adjourned after a brief discussion item on a proposed noise ordinance was directed for future placement on the agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee Meeting, Tuesday 4/1/25","oneSentenceSummary","The committee approved rescission of a campus security maintenance contract, closed or decreased several vehicle contracts, and accepted a $49,000 grant for the Family Violence Coordinating Council; the Public Defender's monthly report was placed on file.","taxTitle","DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",2547,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6093586,"DuPage County committee reviews draft nuisance ordinance to curb amplified late‑night noise in unincorporated areas",896,390000,1286000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2846240-34f59a5dc142ddc72c3c2e4118950acf&start=390&end=1286","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2846240-34f59a5dc142ddc72c3c2e4118950acf/thumbnail_390000.jpg","/articles/6093586/DuPage-County/Illinois/DuPage-County-committee-reviews-draft-nuisance-ordinance-to-curb-amplified-latenight-noise-in-unincorporated-areas","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6093586-3bf22974380e7c077fb9f952007d9b7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771218466&Signature=fZw6ocjFPa9ncFoQAfI8YqfJg6Ip9jRYeZEqbbJWHuMp9WPmg8L~dVo-5wkJwPBGYqXIZwL~NYGF~RKB6z0HbSnnug96H7-YlZvVwXiHtPbSMhpSaHAgelS41V9G7oXqgYSKL2U3tZjqbFg2QTx7q-ROq62LcoQ~-~mTzlqWBrGFDB9mzvMM4slxwd4uvLt0HczqTsID3HEkFzTERBVrvcTJeR-t5eygumXtumsTBijsUMrLznv8LQmZ1mS-Iu9efGM11HGlFeCvasEU9aS6UnsDKNlLsYPgSqSqq6wRc78YgGPBc12PORyYKbcmaqWBuhPD1qNlyVc6eE5K-SbU6g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The DuPage County Judicial and Public Safety Committee discussed a draft county nuisance ordinance on April 1 that would give law enforcement a citation option for amplified noise in unincorporated areas.

Member Schorze raised the issue after receiving repeated complaints from neighbors in unincorporated West Chicago about late‑night amplified parties. “DuPage County doesn't have a noise ordinance that directly could handle this specific complaint,” Schorze said, prompting staff and the state's attorney's office to draft language for the committee to consider.

Assistant State's Attorney Connor McCarthy summarized the draft ordinance's key provisions: between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., amplified noise that can be heard 100 feet from a residential structure could result in a citation; “that first fine would be a hundred dollars, the second, third, and their fourth could go, to 500 and up to a thousand dollars,” McCarthy said. McCarthy added the draft does not require use of a decibel meter: the standard is whether the noise could be heard from 100 feet.

Barb Reynolds, of the state's attorney's office, said the draft targets amplified sources such as DJs and microphones rather than ordinary loud conversation. “This is amplified. I think to Member Schorze's initial concern, this is when somebody has a huge party at the DJ. You have a microphone,” Reynolds said, and noted the draft includes “a number of reasonable exceptions” such as church bells and permitted events.

Committee members asked whether the measure would apply only to unincorporated areas and how enforcement would work. Reynolds confirmed it would apply to unincorporated county areas. Undersheriff Moore, who joined the meeting by phone, told the committee the sheriff's office could add the citation to the circuit court system if the ordinance is adopted. “We are all in agreement. This is good, and we have no problems ... adding this to our repertoire and getting this done when necessary,” Undersheriff Moore said.

Members discussed limits and challenges to enforcement. Reynolds said a 100‑foot standard is more likely to be sustained in court than shorter distances and that a decibel‑based standard would impose equipment and calibration costs that make enforcement harder. Member Rutledge asked about timing; staff said the ordinance text is drafted and that a formal ordinance or resolution could be prepared in about two weeks if the committee directs staff to place it on the agenda.

Committee members clarified several specific points raised during discussion: the draft allows special permits for one‑time events, the ordinance targets amplified noise and likely would not cover consumer fireworks as currently written, and officers would retain discretion to warn callers before issuing citations.

The committee did not adopt the ordinance at the April 1 meeting; members directed staff and the state's attorney's office to place the proposal on a future JPS agenda. The staff summary and legal counsel indicated the measure is intended as a nuisance ordinance enforceable through citation to the circuit court, subject to the exceptions shown in the draft.

The discussion combined repeated resident complaints from a single neighborhood with legal review and sheriff's‑office input; several members said giving deputies a citation option could reduce recurring late‑night disturbances.

Ending: Staff will prepare the formal ordinance or resolution language for a subsequent Judicial and Public Safety Committee meeting if the committee confirms that direction.","The Judicial and Public Safety Committee discussed a draft ordinance that would let deputies cite amplified noise audible 100 feet away between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.; fines would start at $100 and escalate on repeat offenses. Staff and the sheriff's office said the measure is enforceable and could be placed on the committee agenda within weeks.","actionData","errors"]
