Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Summary Judgment
Court properly found that pursuant to note signed by four persons, they jointly and severally owed Village balance on note plus interest, per TIF Redevelopment Agreement. Court properly admitted as evidence, pursuant to public records exception to hearsay rule, Cook County treasurer reports, which were computer-generated. Rule 803(8) of Illinois Rules of Evidence makes no distinction between public records and computerized public records. Evidence supported Village development director's calculation of equalized assessed value of parcels, and his affidavit detailing his computations and methodology was proper foundation for records, and was sufficient for granting summary judgment for Village. (QUINN and CUNNINGHAM, concurring.)
