Before we call the meeting to order I

(Pledge of Allegiance)
Please remain standing for invocation.
we have rabbi Andrea Kozlowski from it's Etz Chaim in Lombard. (Andrea) Good morning.
Jewish people around the world at this
time our reading in the Hebrew Bible in
the Hebrew Scripture also referred to as
Old Testament in the book of Exodus. And
in the book of Exodus we are in the
midst of reading about the plagues that
are be falling the Egyptians. And it
brings to mind this idea of what
modern-day plagues are still plaguing
our society today? And with that thought
in mind let us pray together. Oh Heavenly
Father help us to recognize the plagues
that separate us those which caused fear
indifference and bring sorrow. Help us to
build up and create bridges of peace
fulfillment and hope for one another. To
work together to strengthen our
communities and help us to seek peace
between all communities of humankind.
Help us to grow in Word and in deed
enrich us with your peace and your
guidance imbue us with a strong sense of
integrity as we embark on the work of
building strengthening and healing our
world in who's ever name we pray let us
say together, amen.
thank you. Roll call please

we'll move on the Chairman's report we
have a busy day today first item we have
is four chaplains Sunday proclamation my
ask Steve Fixler and member Bob Larson
to join me at the podium.
Well each year at this time we remember
an extra nor extraordinary story of
selflessness and service that of the
four chaplains lieutenant George Fox
lieutenant Alexander Good lieutenant Jon
Washington and lieutenant Kirk Pollack
were onboard the USS Dorchester a
transport ship carrying 902
service members in the cold waters off of
Newfoundland On February 3rd, 1943. The
ship was torpedoed by a German u-boat
and hit through the pandemonium
according to witnesses the
chaplains brought hope and calm in the
darkness they then gave their life
preservers to four servicemen and
together the four chaplains prayed and
went down with the ship we commemorate
their faith and sacrifice for others
with our annual Proclamation.
77th
anniversary of four chaplains Sunday
whereas on Sunday February 2nd 2020
marks a 77th anniversary of the
four chaplains Sunday commemorating one
of the most inspiring acts of heroism in
World War II and whereas for travelers
representing methodist Roman Catholic
Jewish Dutch Reformed faith gave their
own life jackets to four American
servicemen and directed the young
soldiers to lifeboats and whereas with
their arms linked together while they
prayed together the four u.s. united
states army chaplains sank in the cold
waters off the north atlantic with the
torpedo USS Dorchester and whereas a
combined Veterans Association sponsors
the annual remembrance service room
honoring the memory of these four
chaplains and whereas the Marine Corps
League is the host organization of this
year's memorial program at 1:00 p.m. at
the hospital chapel at Edwards Hines jr.
VA Medical Center in Hines Illinois
there for Daniel J Cronin chairman and
the county board and County Board
members do by hereby proclaim Sunday
February 2nd 2020 as Four Chaplains
Sunday and DuPage County to honor the
memory of the four chaplains who made
the ultimate sacrifice to save lives
for young soldiers pass on the 28th day
of January 2020 sir motion motion and a
second on favor
Thank you very much Steve say a few
words as well. Once again thank you very
much I will be speaking this on behalf
of everybody here in DuPage County
this Sunday at Heinz
Hospital 1 o'clock it's open to the
public at the chapel and please come if
you can yeah thank you very much.
Just briefly I know you I always talk
about this every year but we talk about
public service what it means to serve
we've heard about a couple of tragedies
this weekend and if you've seen the
movie Titanic saw the chaos that
occurred on that ship as it was going
down imagine somebody knowing that's
going to happen and knowingly giving
their life up for somebody else that's
what it means to serve that's what they
did and I spent 20 years in the Marine
Corps and I was honored to serve with a
lot of men and women who are a lot
better than me and these are examples of
those sorts of people so I'm glad we
continue to honor them thank you.
thank you. Okay the next item this hurts
a little since myself and member Healy
and member DiCianni went to Elmhurst
College but we're here to recognize the
North Central College football team. We
are fortunate enough to have with us the
NCAA division three champion
North Central College Cardinals.

Central College president Troy Hammond
Marty Sauer vice president for
enrollment and management athletics, Jim
Miller athletic director, Jeff Thorn head

Dakota
Cummings. So here's the guys that made it

school's first Division three
championship on congratulate you guys
the players the coaches and the fans
read the proclamation but a little bit
about you know college athletes a lot of
kids my son's going to North Park now
which is in the CC IW which is a good
conference, but we see you know only 5%
of high school students go on to play
collegiately, at all levels, division 1
division 2 and division 3 and it's a big
commitment for these guys and did not
only be athletes but be student-athletes
it means a lot because there's a lot of
practices a lot of hard time that
they're working hard for for playing but
they go back and they correct the books
and they study and they and they do both
and they should be commended also for
that so let me read the proclamation.
Whereas the players and coaching staff
and alumni of North Central College
Football team have proven they possess a
solid foundation of teamwork commitment
and talent building towards a
championship season as where as the
Cardinals won NCAA division three
national championship with a 41 to 14
victory over the University of Wisconsin
Whitewater at the 2019 Amos Alonzo Stagg
ball in Shenandoah Texas
whereas on their historic playoff run
the Cardinals also defeated perennial
football powerhouse University of Mount
Union and whereas the Cardinals finished
the season 14 and 1 was 11 straight wins
and averaged 45 points per game in the
and the division 3 playoffs and whereas
the college has remarkable history of
succession national
Championship having won 40 national
championships including 19 for men's
cross country six for men's indoor track
and field six for men's outdoor track
and field 4 for men's swimming and
diving three for women's triathlon and
one for women's basketball and now one
for football now whereas North Central
College has garnered 17 of those
national championships in the last
decade where as we commend the student
athletes coaches athletic administrators

second all in favor congratulations
(DeSart) I just say a few words about the big rally
coming up on Friday so go ahead and talk
about that. ( Troy Hammond) Oh well well first of all I
just want to thank you all for this
opportunity to to be present here at
this meeting and celebrate this historic
victory for the college North Central
College prides itself in helping our
students exceed their personal best
through the course of their education
and find direction in life and that
takes place both in the classroom and
outside in their civic engagement and
their civic involvement as well as then
you know on the gridiron in this case
and we couldn't be more proud of what
Coach Thorne and his coaching staff and
all these young men have done to bring
this amazing victory to North Central
College it's it's really hard to win a
national championship in football and
they've accomplished something amazing
in this process and brought great I
think notoriety as well to Naperville
into Page County in the process and so
we're just extremely proud of their
accomplishment and we'll be celebrating
on Friday with a procession in
Naperville led by police and fire
through downtown Naperville to benedetti
whirly Stadium where there will be a
ceremony and presentation at 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon in Benedetti whirly
Stadium on the North Central College
campus so we invite you all to that and
I want jet coach Jeff Thorn to make a
few remarks as well if he's willing to
first and foremost I just want to thank
you for taking time from your meeting
today to recognize what these guys
accomplished it really means a lot to us
it's a great opportunity we brought some
t-shirts handful of these stackable
champion t-shirts to be handed out to
anybody that wants them just a quick
history lesson though to give you a
little bit of background it's next to
(Zay) It's an extra large. *Laughter*
got two larges I grew up in Wheaton so
I've been in DuPage County my entire
life my family lives in Naperville now
my father was a longtime coach at
Wheaton Central and Wheaton Warrenville
south high school and when he took this
program over everybody told him he's
crazy you can't win at North Central his
dream in 2002 was to win a national
championship so when I was able to hand
him the trophy trophy and our coaching
staff and these young men finished his
job and his dream it was my dream come
true and I just I can't thank you enough
for the time that you've given us today
on the recognition hopefully we'll see
you on Friday and hopefully we can come
back next year and celebrate again
thanks
one quick thing this is not only a
 a proud day for Naperville and
for DuPage County but for all the CCIW
although Jim myself and Pete graduated
from Elmhurst don't boo me. We're very proud of everything you
guys have done and are very proud to be
involved in North Central for many years
but what people have to understand is
that our colleges especially north
Central have a integral part of what we
do here in DuPage many of our employees
graduated from North Central College
several of our employees teach at North
Central College and we've had several
board members who have been on the board
of directors of North Central College so
it's a long heritage DuPage the
relationship between North Central
College and the county of DuPage and I'm
just very proud that we can now honor
this and I'm going to be even prouder
when I'm standing in Washington in four
weeks with the with chairmans of Baton
Rouge County and with Collier County who
represent the CCIW too, I'm sorry the NCAA
two and three winners and we're all
going to have our jerseys on and take it
some pictures there because it's a proud
day for counties when we're doing this
and people don't realize the
relationship between the counties and
their colleges so you young men have
done a great job looking for internships
here at the county we need smart guys
and girls to come here and you may even
see a few of your professors hanging
around the halls so thank you and Troy
congratulations and to the entire team.
you wanna take a quick picture here with
the proclamation if we can I understand
it
Thank you yeah
Thank you so much
Sherman misses all the good stuff see
that's not bad next item on our
Chairman's report is Downers Grove
sanitary and Wheaton sanitary district
presentations we have Matt Larsen and
Nick Managini to come to the podium we
also want to acknowledge Jeff Walker and
Wally Van Buren who are the Chairman's
of the two districts so gentleman thank
you for coming out here today.
Good morning
hard act to follow. I'm Wally Van Buren
president of the board of trustees of
Downers Grove sanitary district I'm
proud to introduce Nick Meninga will be
giving you a report on our operation
which we do at your pleasure and we
thank you for that Nick Meninga thanks
Wally the management of Thanatos Don
stroke sanitary district currently
includes myself Nick Meninga guy I've been
there for 15 years as the general
manager we recently acquired assistant
general manager amy underwood as part of
our succession plan our assets that we
own include a wastewater treatment
center in Downers Grove I think some of
the board members have been there before
it's an 11 mg d capacity treatment plant
provides tertiary treatment pneumonia
meets all the standards set by EPA order
discharged into the east branch of the
DuPage River we've also managed to
create an energy neutral wastewater
treatment plant in Downers Grove which
is kind of a unique situation for our
wastewater treatment plant we're
actually have the capability to be a
small power generating station creating
renewable energy at the facility we also
on all the sewer system and in our in
our service area which includes 250
miles of sewer mains sanitary sewer
mains we have 20,000 customers that are
connected to the sewers the system dates
the 1904 and as a result that's portions
that are quite old and leaky so we do
get a significant amount of infiltration
and inflow during storm events that we
absolutely handle and deal with and
treat appropriately from a financial
standpoint typical service
for a customer we charge a dollar
seventy four thousand gallons a typical
customer of eight thousand gallons is
paying thirteen sixty per month for that
our monthly service fee is seventeen
dollars and then we also collect small
tax in kuffar I'm sorry a property tax
that tolls about forty bucks a month for
house so the average cost to a typical
house in Downers Grove in our service
area is about thirty four dollars a
month we have our net fixed assets that
are depreciating is worth about seventy
four million dollars most of its our
sewer system and that's a big chunk of
it is our plant the cash we have right
now is about four point seven million
dollars saving a little bit of money for
any capital improvements and then we
also have to have an operating reserve
now our long-term debt is limited to a
zero load three point five million loan
that we took out in 2009-2010 timeframe
when the state was offering a zero
interest zero interest loan program so I
really don't have any debt to speak up
we pride ourselves on being accountable
we report a lot of activities at a lot
of different levels we report to the
county on a financial basis we also
report to the state on a financial basis
all our books are open we have all of
our audit on our website we also do a
lot of environmental compliance
reporting as well we have extensive
compliance reporting that goes to the
state and the federal government just to
verify the quality of the water that
we're putting in the receiving stream so
quite accountable we also are very
collaborative we work together at many
different levels of government with
other groups of DuPage municipal
partnering initiative is very important
for us certain procurements we are doing
in a joint effort with other
municipalities we work very closely with
the village on non local construction
and other administrative types of
activities we're involved with scarce
and the priests receiving operation that
we do we also help them with some of
their education programs we're one of
the founding and more involved members
with
on the county level with the DuPage
River software group as well as on the
Illinois level and the federal level
with the wastewater associations in
those levels and then finally we pride
ourselves on being extremely transparent
we have often accessible meetings so I
said public participation with a
comprehensive web presence our website
has just about every tidbit and morsel
of information that we have in-house
available we have an annual open house
and several board members have been to
that and we really enjoy doing that
every year I have a lot of Boy Scouts
coming and eat donuts and Android juice
and ticket to her the plant we've been
adding a newsletter that goes to all of
our customers that has a lot of
information for them and we also take
pride in a lot of school stem
partnerships so and we have science
classes at the elementary junior high
high school and college level that come
through the plan on a routine basis
pretty much every seventh grader in town
has been through our plan so that's
pretty much all I had four daughters
well good morning everybody my name is
Jeff Walker I'm the current president of
the trustees of the Wheaton sanitary
district thank you all for having us
come and make this presentation I would
just like to thank all of the staff and
people that work at the sanitary
district for the great work they do
there now hard that they work and that
they continue to win wastewater Awards
that makes us one of the most efficient
operating facilities not only in the
county the state but the United States
we currently have a new executive
director that has just taken over the
helm and we're embarking on a new
multi-million dollar project to replace
our infrastructure on the north side of
Wheaton and Matt Larsen our new director
our new executive director I'd like to
introduce who will help guide us through
that process thank you very much thanks
Jeff yes as Jeff just indicate we have a
great dedicate staff at the sanitary
district we have some snapshots of
several of the staff members up there
our district is very similar to what
Nick talked about at Downers Grove so
I'll try to repeat but we've allowed
a lot of similar activities and programs
as as Downers Grove sanitary erosion
along with the other sanitary districts
throughout the state our staff has
broken up into different groups though
that I'll collaborate together we have
an Operations Group a maintenance group
a lab group and then our administrative
or kind of front-end group and they all
work together to do it as Jeff said um
great things for the district and those
great things are showing through some
awards that our facility has been
acknowledged with throughout the years
both on operations of the facility and
also some specific awards for
individuals at the facility and that's a
testament not just those individuals but
the team that that we have assembled at
the sanitary district this is a picture
itself of our facility our facility
serves about 63,000 people here in
DuPage County most Dissidia wheaton
parts of Carol Stream Glen Ellyn
Winfield and then portions of
unincorporated DuPage County we have
assets that include we don't own our
entire collection system but we do have
some sewer assets out in the in the
system that both his small diameter and
large diameter sewers and all that water
flows to this facility here which is
located close to the Cantigny Park at
basically the intersections of Shafter
and Mack roads as Nick mentioned they
have their open house once a year we
have a similar event in the summer the
corn boil I'm sure some of you have
attended that in the past and we look
forward to those who haven't attended
attending the feature also if anybody
ever is interested in a tour we're more
than welcome and happy to give tours I
would recommend maybe doing it in warmer
climates warmer days than cooler days
but we're happy to take you whenever
you'd like one thing I want to note
though is and I think there's sometimes
some confusion on this city of Wheaton
owns and operates their collection
system the water from that collection
system does convey to our facility but
they have separate staff in separate
control of their collection system which
is separate from the wheat insanity
district's system to stay current both
from the the regulatory standpoint and
to combat constantly aging
infrastructure we do have capital
projects going on from time to time want
to highlight a couple of those here in
the upper left hand corner we recently
replaced our old sand filters with newer
disc filter technology it increased the
capacity of those along with reducing
the operations and maintenance required
currently as we speak we're replacing
our disinfection system we did have a
bleach disinfection system and starting
on May 1st we will have a UV
disinfection system and the bottom
corner here we just relocated some of
our electrical gear with the flood plain
Maps being revised recently our existing
or some of our existing electrical
infrastructure was in the floodplain
which is not a good thing so we just
completed a very successful project to
read a little kid that up on top of a
hill so we should be fine for any sized
storm that happens to roll through well
if that gets fun up there we a lot
bigger problems and as Jeff alluded to
we do have some projects that are coming
up I want to highlight two of them here
one is up providing sewers and occur in
areas currently unsure dere on septic
tanks and now we're very excited about
extending the sewer system and getting
more and more folks on on the sewer
system so that water can be treated and
not not in in septic systems and also
the big projects that we call our
Northside interceptor project it's a
roughly a five mile pipeline that will
extend from our plant a little carried
on Schaffner road through eaten up to
Carol Stream it's replacing an aging
pipe that um is is aging and in need of
um increasing its capacity that's a
project we anticipate will be starting
essentially a year or so from now and
for anybody who lives in Wheaton or
travels through Wheaton you will
probably see the remnants
a 48 inch diameter pipe that is being
installed you can imagine the size of
the trench and the number of trucks that
will be required to do that work so it's
a very important project will be the
largest project in the history of the
sanitary district capital dollars wise
and like I said we're anticipating that
all construction will start at about a
year from now we do have a monthly bill
that we send out to our customers we do
not levy property taxes the bill is a
hundred percent based on usage of water
it's composed of two different charges
basically a fat flat fee and a variable
fee which varies depending on how much
water is consumed and it be cognizant
that all the water that people consume
doesn't go in the sewer we offer a
number of rebate or credit programs and
I've highlighted a couple up here
anything from irrigation to leaks to
pools in the summer and obviously this
time of year ice rinks is is one that we
have now I get the word out now maybe is
a familiar with these I was presenting
another group and they were unaware of
these um these types of credits so
they're on the website or please stop by
our office if you think you might be
eligible or know people who might might
be eligible for these and I wrap things
up I want to talk about shared services
currently we have shared services
agreements between us and DuPage County
and the city of Wheaton and we and we
have a number of things that we that we
share amongst um amongst the different
entities I'm also right now speaking
with folks from the Forest Preserve to
see if there's opportunities for us to
share services they're obviously with
the end goal of reducing costs for our
common customers and residents with that I'm all done. (Zay)
okay thank you thank you for the updates
from Downers Grove in Wheaton the
chairman of the County Board has
responsibilities of appointing the
trustees that oversee these two entities
which are viewed as high-performing
agencies the Wheaton sanitary district
has been a great partner of our public
works department was sharing services
were practical and always looking for
joint purchasing operations and Downers
Grove sanitary district was featured in
a PBS news hour last year the district
was featured for its grease hauling
program and its net
zero operations mean it's wastewater
treatment plant generates as much energy
as it uses so I think Matt and Nick
forgive me I said update and coming out
here today thank you very much. A few
other items today I'd like to thank the
board members and residents who turned
out to our public meeting related to
route 83 corridor plan it's important to
hear the ideas shared by people affected
by transportation and community
development needs along this busy
roadway which carries traffic through
several DuPage communities I want to
thank Paul Haase and the building
department staff for shepherding that
project and keeping the folks informed
as the plan comes together
finally I know I speak for chairman
Cronin Cronin the rest of my colleagues
on the board went convey our deepest
condolences to the family of sheriff
richard aurilla who passed away at the
age of 92 on January 17th I've asked our
current Sheriff Jim enteric to share a
few words in the memory of Sheriff Doria
who served the county for over 35 years
Jim thank you Thank You mr. chairman
it's been a rough week so Sheriff
Richard P. Doria mm-hmm excuse me enter
the US Marine Corps in 1945 he was
assigned to a Military Police Division
through 1952 when he received his
honorable discharge
although Sheriff Doria had made it very
clear time and time again once a marine
always a marine richard aurilla began
his political career as an elected
township constable in 1962 he became a
member of the DuPage County Sheriff's
Office and continued through the ranks
for 14 years when his when he was
appointed as under sheriff sheriff Doria
was elected the office of sheriff for
DuPage County in 1978 where he provided
leadership to his staff and citizens for
this county for 18 years some of his big
accomplishments was he created our crime
laboratory the establishment of our
major crime investigation unit our
hazardous device unit and he incepted
the
establishment of our correctional facility so I
mean he had some really really big
accomplishments he had enough faith in
me to hire me back in 1996 he came back
23 years later and he endorsed me to run
for sheriff I remember when I was a new
recruit sit in his office the first
thing I ever heard from pretty much any
policeman was what he said was Jim when
you come here all I can say it's just
never lie whatever you do lying will
most likely be worse than anything that
you did and I really took that to heart
I carry that throughout my entire career
he had another quote and he said this
was my life everything I did that came
out right I was proud of so at this
moment at this time I'd like just a
moment silence for Sheriff Richard P. Doria.
my friend my mentor my colleague
Sheriff Richard P Doria thank you for
your service and you'll be missed
thank you thank you Jim that's all I
have on Chairman's report we're going to
move to public comment according to our
county board rules members of the public
she'll be afforded the time to address
the board individuals remarks shall not
exceed three minutes in length nor so
the total time provided exceeds 30
minutes mr. Clerk one person today Marc
Gill
Good morning vice chairman members
of the county board my name is Marc Gill
and I am a managing partner of fmi
properties which has an ordinance before
you today for consideration I'm better
known as the owner operator of the BP
gas station at the corner of route 53
and Butterfield Road I have been serving
the public from this location for the
past 34 years the ordinance before you
today will allow me to update and
modernize my facility which was
originally built in nineteen
85 the new facility will be more
attractive introduce new conveniences
and services provide improved and safer
access create additional jobs in
additional tax revenue for the county
this project also includes the
acquisition of the former Chase Bank
property which is adjacent to my western
boundary of the gas station and this
site will be razed and will be
introducing a new quick service
restaurant with a drive-through and that
will be operated by a national chain
although it may seem like we are asking
for much in terms of setbacks in fact we
will be improving the setbacks as
compared to existing conditions today
this will also increase the amount of
green space we have and then we have an
extensive landscape plan to beautify
those areas
I realize that gas station the
developments can sometimes be somewhat
contentious here's what I can tell you
about our situation for the past three
decades I have served my community well
and built a very close bond we proudly
support every school religious
institution Park District homeowners
associations Boy Scout troops you name
it in our community everyone that comes
to us for support gets it I have such
confidence in this bond that I took the
initiative and informed the local
community with details and drawings of
our plans this information was
distributed to local homeowners
associations and they passed it along to
their residents and then postings went
up on neighborhood Facebook pages and
nextdoor.com in other words the
information went viral so we took the
absolute opposite approach of most gas
station developers we were very upfront
with what our plans were so let me tell
you what happens at the initial zoning
hearing it was standing room only and
there was unanimous support for our
project when chairman Kartal opened up
the meeting for public comment the
accolades poured in there was applause
there was laughter and it was a festive
atmosphere it was about as much fun as a
zoning hearing can be and quite certain
the CBA has never seen anything like
that before ultimately the CBA voted
unanimously
unanimously to approve our project and
this was followed last week by the
Development Committee their unanimous
vote as well and today I am hoping to
earn your vote thank you for your time
thank you very much that's all we have
for public comment today so we'll move
on the agenda to the consent of a motion

(Zay) before we vote the coroner is here if
anybody had questions I know he's here
for the meeting if we want to ask those
questions from finance are we okay with
That's why I said I answered
all the questions. Thank you. Member DeSart.
(DeSart) Yeah I wanna ask why the items said
unforeseen equipment failure or
something like that why why was it
unforeseen did who doing your budget originally
this is outside of your original budget
because it was unforeseen and I just
wanted white white was overlooked. After
the fact. (Coroner) being why why didn't we put on
last year's budget is that the question>
(DeSart) this year's budget. (Coroner) this year's
budget. Basically the evaluation by the
company that Wayne incorporated that
does our maintenance came to me and said
that this is a is a worsening problem as
far as the age of the bald and or the
the radiation emitting bulb and that it
really though it's still working we need
to address it. (DeSart) so this company that does
your maintenance regularly didn't foresee
that this was this piece of equipment
was failing we're starting to fail well
it hasn't failed that's either gonna
fail or not fail and it's still working
properly but they made me aware that
this is...is getting to a critical point.
(DeSart) thank you. (Eckhoff) so it's got expected
shelf-life? (Coroner) we're way past our expected
shelf-life this probably should have
been done five years ago but it's still
working fairly well we did two x-rays
this weekend and it's still working but
when it when it fails were we have no
backup and we have is this company now
the coroner's fee fund as opposed to the
general budget correct? (Coroner) correct.
(Eckhoff) so wouldn't have been in the budget
then? (coroner) would have been in our quarter
fee fund budget right but okay any other
questions okay
leave? Leave is granted. Thank you Mr. Coroner.
JPS-P-0040-20 West Publishing Recommendation for the approval of a contract purchase order to West, a Thomson Reuters Business for the purchase of legal books and updates for the Judiciary and staff.

Question Member Covert? (Covert) I brought this up last
year it's just a curious question when
will we start are we making an effort to
transition to digital? (Eckhoff) we have we have
numerous computers in the law library
that allow us team software
that there's
books that are online but there's just
some books that we get the updates on an
annual basis or some books in there that
don't have updates from 15 years ago so
they're transitioning little by little
but there's still some attorneys and
judges you like to have the books but I
don't think I don't think the digital the
has the law cases once he pulls them
up on the computer we still have some of
the hard copies for like the
Northeast second things like that
packet. party I was looking for
and the other question is looking at
number

move on the legislative chairman
Tornatore. Thank You mr. chairman first
under committee update I'd like to thank
SHERYL MARKAY  her staff Chip Humes and
our lobbyists and members of the
legislative committee who two weeks ago
met and unanimously approved our 2020
state legislative agenda this agenda
represents a framework to guide us in
our legislative priorities session in
Springfield actually begins today the
document is fluid it will change as new
bills are introduced or changed in
Springfield we did isolate 10 priorities
to begin with and they are preserving
local revenues restoring the siting of
small salt devices extending our
emergency telephone system act
supporting the cost of local elections
increasing mental health funding
providing additional resources to combat
the opioid epidemic productive
protecting the environmental health of
our citizens reducing the cost and size
of local government increasing the
reimbursement of Adult Protective
Services and banning the sale of
commercially bred pets as this process
moves along our committee will continue
to meet and consider key bills that the
county should oppose or support and for
informational purposes we'll be bringing
the 2020 federal legislative agenda to
County Board later on next month with
that mr. Chairman I move approval of
LEG-R-0037-20 RESOLUTION -- Resolution Adopting the County's 2020 State Legislative Program
We have motions second. Member DeSart Hi
member Tornatore I appreciate that
this is a fluid document I was just
wondering I mean it's my understanding
that this is kind of the marching orders
we gave to our lobbyists to take this
Springfield? (Tornatore) Essentially. (DeSart) Okay I was just
wondering um I know back in 2019 we gave
our state electives a binder of capital
capitals wish list SHERYL MARKAY 
email between as well but should our
capital request be reiterated in this in
this document marching orders to our
lobbyists. I'm specifically passionate about the animal
services Phase two of that building and
we were in senator Holmes's office last
week and I just flat-out after for 12
million dollars to complete that project
and you know kind of tounge and cheek asking for
the whole chunk of money but I just
think that our request to be reiterated
okay as I said the document is fluid so
we thank you sure remember challenge
determined and I just wanted to think
staff and the chairman for updating the
election portion of that so I appreciate
you updating putting our concerns in
there so thank you. Member Rutledge. Thank
You chairman um I was just talking with
member Hart about the small cell
technology and I am getting questions
from city of Warrenville about that and
so just kind of putting it on the radar
that that is an issue that's going to
bubble up I think and
we might have a proactive discussion
about that before our whole communities
kind of bombard us with that issue so
thank you. Member DeSart. I just wanted to say
while we're having this discussion
maybe we should update the capital
request because another document
represented Center in Holmes said then
we wanted ten million dollars sprang for
the project amount of 12 million so just
looks like should we update 
that. thank you okay Member DiCianni.
young services front I had mentioned at
OAS meeting that we've got a challenge
with the Medicaid of limitation for the
ABA which we had all unanimously passed
as a resolution from the county for
people with autism one in three of our
children a new page are eligible for
this because they are and Medicaid we've
the implementation this has been a
little bit challenging because the the
director of HFS secretary when she wrote
the language to the feds indicated that
folks that are be CPAs would have to
either be a clinical psychologist and or
be a licensed social worker there's
about 14 of those providers in the state
of Illinois be CPAs are the really the
provider that should be providing ABA as
a supervisory function as with private
insurance there's about 2,500 of those
throughout the state of Illinois justic
you know so we realized that this is
gonna handcuff our legislation and the
money and really at the end of the day
the kids that need help so I'll be
working with member Tornatore. Deb
Conroy is already on this but we really
need to get this corrected because we've
got funds that were passed in the budget
we have a law that was passed for
compliance but now the actual providers
that they're choosing to be eligible are
very limited so we're gonna be needing
to make that change to so our kids could
actually get the help that they need so
that will be a legislative action that
we'll be pursuing that this cycle but as
remember Tornatore indicated things are
evolving things come up this just came
up last week otherwise I would have put
it on the radar so so well but I'll be
working with members Tornatore on this as
well so thank you and for staff I know
we've come a long way we do have a link
to it where they can go in for the
capital project and breaks it out by
representative district County Board
district congressional district
that's a good thing and please ask
people I had a meeting with
representative Villa I asked for 20
million for Fabian Parkway so and she
said she was gonna ask congressman
Underwood for money so if we don't ask
we won't get it so always always ask and
what's the worst they can say no so it's
better than we are

on stop Saragenex and they had out
it was just a really nice event so I
look forward to partnering with them on
events going forward. Okay thank
you. Any other new business no and at that
Karen can you please come up and give us
an update I know it's hitting the news
and all over the country but I know our
health department has been on top of
this from the beginning.
Absolutely and
joining me today our is the a team I I
know you introduced yourselves as the B
team from public health
so we wanted to provide you a quick
update on what we know at this moment
about the 2019 novel coronavirus
it is a new it is a new virus thus the
novel word in in its title it has been
very recently
identified so many times it takes a
while for a virus to move from animal to
animal to human to human to human this
has moved fairly quickly which is one of
the reasons why it has garnered so much
attention the outbreak has been clearly
identified to be centering in Wuhan
China and we began seeing indication of
disease spread in December of 2019
now coronavirus is a family of viruses a
large family and it includes things that
even cause the common cold
most of the viruses circulate routinely
in animals and then sometimes they pass
they mutate to the point that they're
able to spread - to humans from animals
and then further humans to humans the
family in our in recent memory we
remember the SARS CoV outbreak which
began in China and spread to Canada
primarily but internationally with over
8,000 cases in 2003 almost 775 deaths
and then more recently in MERS CoV the
Middle East respiratory syndrome with 20
almost 2,500 cases worldwide and nearly
858 deaths so how does the 2019 novel
coronavirus spread today we don't
exactly know what we are basing many of
our strategies to combat and contain the
spread of this disease are based on what
we saw with MERS and SARS when person to
person spread is thought to have
happened via respiratory droplets
particularly when an infected person
classes or sneezes very similar to how
other viruses such as the flu virus
spread there may also be some evidence
at this point
that when a person has contaminated
their hand or or mouth or their hands
through touching their mouth or nose or
covering their caught with their hand or
even possibly our eyes and then touches
a surface that then the virus can be
picked up if someone touches that same
surface certainly we know that in the
spread of both SARS and MERS between
people it happened generally through
close contact so it's was family members
it was health care workers caring for
individuals who were sick and and those
who had extended periods of contact with
ill individuals we are in the very early
stages of learning about this novel
virus and the investigations are going
as of yesterday we initially thought
that regarding its transmissibility we
initially thought that it was limited to
animal to human however now we are
seeing that there is is evidence of the
human to human transmission we have
clinical illness being presented almost
all of the cases in or all of the cases
that are identified for the u.s. have
gone through the lab confirmation
process the deaths that have been
reported particularly particularly those
in China have been involved older
individuals with multiple comorbidities
we are currently developing an
epidemiologic profile which means we're
we're we're gathering data to determine
how long a person is infective what are
the spectrum of clinical illness that
that a person can present and how is
specifically this novel Co V virus
spread one strategy that is being
employed by the US as well as our No
with American counterparts in both
Mexico and Canada
involves entry screening of passengers
from China originally three airports in
the u.s. were identified to be screening
travelers and these were identified by
CDC because a vast majority of travelers
particularly from this area of China
only entered the US through LAX in Los
Angeles JFK in New York and San
Francisco International Airport there
are the next tier of airports where
there are direct rivals is O'Hare and
the Atlanta Airport and the screening
has been expanded to those airports very
recently we have daily calls with the
Illinois Department of Public Health
city of Chicago Cook County and as you
can imagine the number of visitors from
Wuhan has significantly declined as the
travel restrictions there are put into
place individuals who are entering the
u.s. from those areas receive a card
such as this as well as the screening
this is the English side on the back is
the Mandarin language translation for
individuals to alert them to the fact
that they may what they need to do if in
fact they become symptomatic I'm going
to provide you with three terms that are
really important as you listen to the
news news reports regarding this disease
because if you mix up these these terms
it can create unnecessary angst and
panic so first is a contact a disease
contact that's simply somebody who has
had some sort of exposure to to an
individual who is sick they have no
symptoms so that's a contact that's the
biggest pool of people that we have
after that it's people under
investigation or persons under
investigation
those are people who have that same
contact and have now developed symptoms
but you will see on here that the
symptoms that we're looking for with
coronavirus are fever cough and
shortness of breath
so those symptoms are also
characteristics of other viruses that
are circulating right now and the third
term is case and those are individuals
who have absolutely have the disease
based upon laboratory confirmation
persons under investigation at this
point our definition involves them
having the the clinical features of
fever and lower respiratory illness as
well as within the last 14 days a
history of travel or close contact with
a person who is under investigation for
this novel Co V or close contact with an
ill laboratory confirmed case these
numbers and these next two slides are
going to dramatically change an increase
as we go through the next few days and
weeks so right now there are five
positive cases that have been laboratory
confirmed in the United States and
you'll see that big number at the bottom
of the the left-hand side of this slide
there are 73 specimens still pending at
the CDC and that numbers that's as of
127 so that was as of yesterday there's
probably more coming in every day what
we know from a global standpoint is that
over us you know a weeks period we had a
tenfold increase in the global numbers
being recorded I have the the numbers
from 126 so two days ago the number
were 2014 confirmed cases while you are
in this meeting the CDC was doing an
update with HHS secretary is are they
identified for forty five hundred cases
now are confirmed worldwide we again
these numbers indicate that we are early
on in the identification and the
understanding of the risk and spread of
this disease that's much more the case
versus a cause for alarm
now what I'd like to remind you of is
that we are in the midst of flu season
which is another upper respiratory virus
that actually is killing people who
reside in DuPage County this flu season
we have six reported deaths we have 32
cases of individuals who were so sick
from seasonal flu that they required
intensive care services at the hospital
and as you see as you see on the bottom
right of this slide the blue represents
the vaccinated individuals who are
hospitalized and the orange represents
those who were unvaccinated so the vast
majority two thirds of the people who
had to be hospitalized because of the
flu did not have their seasonal flu shot
so if you have people concerned about
what they need to do about novel
coronavirus not so much what you can do
though to keep yourself well and safe is
if you have it yet it's not too late to
get a flu shot now what we've been doing
over the last couple of days or week is
we have been actively monitoring the
contacts remember those are the people
who have had some exposure but they're
not symptomatic so we follow up based on
the type of contact they have we follow
them with daily calls or check
for 14 days after their exposure and we
assess for the presence of fever and
symptoms the goal of that monitoring is
if they develop some some symptoms that
then we can get them further evaluated
but we don't lose track of them and we
try to keep a pretty close handle on on
the disease activity within our
community they're identified if they're
identified like I just got back from
Wuhan. Typically not but the ones that
we who we are following have had some
sort of contact with the case that has
been identified in Illinois who pursued
medical treatment and so we're following
people who were exposed during that
process yes friends relatives and health
care workers topic is there any reason
to believe or any indication that that
one person who was diagnosed in Chicago
and I know that number is gonna go up no
reason that they spent time in DuPage
County? We do know that they had some
activity in DuPage County yes we are
closely monitoring the situation with
the CDC and the Department of Public
Health we are also in coordination with
local health care providers emergency
services hospitals and you at this point
our best strategy for dealing with this
situation is to provide information and
remind people what they need to do in
order to reduce the likelihood spread of
any virus not only this virus we do know
that at this point there are no vaccines
and the treatment of this disease is
based upon the management of symptoms
and just another advertisement for our
website we are putting up information on
the website clearly we're linking to CDC
and IDPH and just as a matter of
reference we call it a corona virus
because I don't know if you can see it
on this page but it looks like it's
around and then it has these little
nodules coming out on it that that is a
characteristic of a corona virus it's
like the corona of a Sun and that's how
it's got its name so with that okay
thank you Karen any other questions for
Karen then this slide is there's a lot
of people who are experiencing
significantly heightened anxiety and
stress over this and so we're also able
to offer them through our crisis hotline
especially trained individuals who are
behavioral health but are also getting
this kind of briefing so that they know
how to support these individuals as they
go through this tough time okay thank
you thank you so much do we have any
other new business
no might have been informed we do not
have executive session today so is there
a motion to adjourn moved by mr. Elliott
second by Mr. DiCianni all in favor? Aye!
we're adjourned thank you very much
