Summary
The committee approved a renewal IGA with the Village of Peotone to replace license‑plate reading cameras on county highways; some members expressed privacy concerns and said they would not support countywide cameras though they would allow the village to proceed.
The committee approved an intergovernmental agreement renewing license‑plate reading cameras located on county highways in cooperation with the Village of Peotone. Staff said this action is a renewal of an existing agreement and that the village requested replacement cameras.

The village representative present indicated the village wanted the renewal.
Outcome: motion to approve the renewal IGA carried on roll call.
