The Chicago White Sox have dedicated May 24th, 2012 as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day at the Park to benefit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and Nationals Law Enforcement Museum, in honor of Illinois finest public safety officers. The Memorial honors the service and sacrifice of the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and have died in the line of duty protecting our communities. The National Law Enforcement Museum will tell the rest of the story, the history of American law enforcement and the stories behind the badge. This event is open to all law enforcement officers, family members and anyone who supports and appreciates our law enforcement professionals. All inquiries should be directed to John Shanks at the Memorial Fund, 202-737-8529 or JShanks@nleomf.org
The first 1500 fans to purchase a Law Enforcement Appreciation Night ticket will receive a Chicago White Sox – Memorial Fund special edition challenge coin. These coins are not be for sale and can only be obtained by buying a ticket and attending the game. $10 of every lower reserved ticket and $5 of every upper box ticket sold will be donated back to the Memorial Fund.

The Department has printed new overtime slips (blue) that have already been completed with the “Money” box checked. Any member who wishes to be credited with compensatory time should cross out the money line and check the “Time” box on the slip. Members should keep anecdotal records of the denial of time for overtime.

Section 20.2 of our contract is clear. Officer have the option of electing either time or money for any overtime that is worked. The NATO summit does not trump our contract. This is an attempt to defer the overtime costs of this summit to the Federal Government. Apparently, the City does not have the ability to defer the costs of time to the Feds.

The Governmental Ethics Ordinance requires City employees compensated at the rate of $80,700 for 2012 and certain City officials to file a 2012 Statement of Financial Interests in the Spring of 2012.  On or about March 1, 2012, the Board will send notice to City employees and officials who, City records show, are required to file them with the Board.

NOTE: Some City employees and officials will not be required to file a Statement of Financial Interests at that time, but may be hired at an annual salary rate, or receive a raise, title change or appointment later in the year that makes them required to file.

Those required to file should be aware that:

1. City law (Section 2-156-150(a) of the Municipal Code of Chicago requires that the 2012 Statement of Financial Interests be filed with the Board of Ethics before the end of day onTuesday, May 1, 2012;
2. Those who do not file their Statement before the close of business on May1, 2012, will have to pay a $20.00 filing fee;
3. Failure to file a Statement on or before May 31, 2012 constitutes a violation of City law that subjects the non-filer to disciplinary action, up to and including discharge from City service; and,
4. Our office cannot accept incomplete forms.

The site fails to mention that the same ordinance requires notice to be sent to City employees in writing. The Board of Ethics apparently decided to ignore that part of the ordinance and sent notice via email. Several members have now received notice that they are required to pay a late fee and file by June 1, 2012.

The Lodge has advised the Management and Labor Affairs Section of the actions of the Board of Ethics. This same scenario happened last year. Late fees for members were waived. We are awaiting a decsision on what will happen this year.

Members should file the statement immediately online immediately using the following this link. Log in using your employee number. Your password is your last name (all caps) and the last four digits of your social security number. Complete the form, but do not pay the late fee at this time. Any member who has already paid a late fee should contact the Lodge.

We ask that you visit the WE ARE ONE ILLINOIS website. Sign up for email updates and click on the link that will connect you by phone or email to your State Representatives and Senators.

Members may also call 888-412-6570 directly. You will be connected with your State Representative and State Senator.
