Ortiz Says County Board Must Vote on Plate Readers

Destinee Ortiz says the Will County Board must take a vote on whether license plate readers should be removed from all Will County property.

The issue

The proposal concerns automated license plate readers located on county property. Ortiz’s position, as described in the development, is that the County Board—not an individual official or department—must make the decision through a vote.

The issue is a local-government matter involving the use of county property and the future of license plate readers there. The description does not state whether Ortiz is a county official, resident, advocate or another participant in the debate.

What is known about the decision

Ortiz says a County Board vote is required. The development does not identify a scheduled meeting, proposed ordinance, resolution, committee action or vote outcome. It also does not establish that the board has voted to remove the devices or voted to keep them in place.

The question before the board, as described, is whether license plate readers should be removed from all Will County property. The scope described is county property throughout Will County.

What happens next

The next procedural step would be a County Board action on the issue. A meeting date, agenda item or formal measure is not identified here.

Any board decision would determine whether the requested removal moves forward. Until the board takes that action, Ortiz’s statement is a call for a vote rather than a record of a completed removal.
