5. PUBLIC COMMENT

Due to the media present, Chairwoman Pierog moved down the agenda to the Sheriff's Heroic Citizen Award presentation. Following, she returned to Public Comment on the agenda.

A. Non-Agenda Items

As directed by Madam Chair, County Board staff Karen Hames read a letter received from Habitat Humanity and extended her appreciation to county staff:

"Dear Madam Chairman Pierog, On behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley, I am writing to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Kane County staff in the Development and Communities Services department, the Environmental and Water Resources department, and the Health Department.

“Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley has a tax credit application in process with the Illinois Housing Development Authority that will generate $300,000 in revenue for the construction of four single-family homes on Skyline Drive in unincorporated Kane County, in Dundee Township. The finalization of the tax credit application is contingent upon building permits being issued for all the projects that are part of the application.

“In mid-January Habitat for Humanity learned that the tax credit closing was scheduled for January 31st. While two of the building permit applications had been previously submitted and permits had been issued, the other two applications were submitted later than they should have been which resulted in urgency on Habitat’s part, and a request for assistance from Kane County. Upon learning of Habitat’s fast-approaching deadline, county staff from these departments immediately reached out to offer Kane County’s assistance. They provided focus and timely responses and solid answers to issues that need to be resolved for the permits to be issued. The three departments went above and beyond, especially in terms of their turnaround time.

“Because of the comprehensive solution and timely responses of the Kane County staff adjusted lots lines, revised and submitted engineering drawings and received the final two permits. Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is grateful for the exceptional response from the Kane County staff.

“Thank you for helping us meet the need for affordable housing in Kane County. Sincerely, Barbara Beckman.”

Madam Chair invited public comment.

Ms. Bernadette May from Family Service Association spoke about the need for children’s mental health services as well as staffing needs. She recalled at the last meeting the board voted unanimously to invest in the mental health workforce of Kane County. Since that announcement, her office has experienced positive results with staffing. She thanked the board and Health Chairman Sanchez, Madam Chair Pierog and assistant health director Michael Isaacson.

Ms. Kate Bochte spoke on the invasion of the Ukraine as compared to the infiltration of foreigners to America hundreds of years ago, that some say America is in its Second Civil War or Revolutionary War, and that she disagrees. An invisible enemy exists and said our grandchildren will ask us whether we fought for good or evil.

Member Shepro stated that today is being celebrated as International Women's Day and proceeded to share a personal account of his grandmother and family members fleeing their country (Russia), coming to America in 1903. He asked that we remember the women in our lives on this day.

B. Agenda Items

Mr. Bob McQuillan, 465 Wollcott Lane, Batavia, spoke about the spending of $58,000 by I.T. Dir. Roger Fahnestock on an employee's tuition at a local university, which he stated was wrong and violated many county policies. He stated the investigation was a sham and explained why. McQuillan stated it was the responsibility of the Board to find out the facts and to make them public. He found it absurd for the board to increase Fahnestock's salary up to 60 days to act as the interim director of building management. He asked the Board to not approve any salary increase for Mr. Fahnestrock; instead, find a new employee to run the department.

6. NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS

A. PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSION

∙ Sheriff Ron Hain's Heroic Citizen Award

Res. #22 - 69 Recognizing Christopher Shanahan as Sheriff Ron Hain's Citizen of the Year 2021 Award

Sheriff Hain invited Christopher Shanahan and his family, along with Mike Kizman (phonetic), and proceeded to read a resolution proclaiming the bravery and swift actions of Chris Shanahan and Sheriff’s officers on December 13, 2021, after seeing a woman being attacked by two Rottweiller dogs and coming to her aid. Sheriff Hain presented Mr. Shanahan with the Sheriff Ron Hain's Heroic Citizen Award 2021.

Mr. Shanahan thanked the quick response of the Sheriff’s officers, KaneCom Dispatch, the medical team and described his response to the urgency of the matter at hand. He would have helped anyone. He stated it became more personal when he found out the victim was Laura Kizman, whom he knew personally. He believed the focus should be on Laura’s recovery.

∙ Madam Chair Comments

Madam Chairman also acknowledged today as International Women's Day, reminding the assembly of those women in people's lives that are strong in

character, conviction, etc. and thinking about those women in Ukraine. She shared a quote from Susan B. Anthony. Madam Chair briefly apprised board members of the upcoming agenda topics and also reminded them to turn in their petitions if they are running for re-election, due March 14th.

∙ Update on Public Information Office (Julie Mann)

Public Information Officer Julie Mann highlighted some of the social media initiatives she had underway. She encouraged board members to hit the “Follow” button on the County’s main web page to stay updated on the latest news. Due to the announcement of Rick Nagel's retirement, Ms. Mann explained the Kane County Connects newsletter will eventually fall under her office. Member Shepro shared some information he found at the St. Charles Library regarding the first female Deputy Clerk.

B. ZONING PETITIONS

PETITION NO. 4585: David Giordano, et ux

Development Committee Chair Martin reviewed the zoning petition which seeks a special use for a private landing strip for ultralight planes and light aircraft, not to exceed 2 (passengers). The Zoning Board and Development Committee recommended approval with certain conditions. One objection was filed by the City of Aurora. Frasz supported the request because the area encompassed small farmettes, it was in his district, and the petitioner did speak to his neighbors prior to seeking the petition. Also, KDOT had the future easement should they need to widen the road, and the petitioner agreed to that request. Frasz pointed out the large forest preserve area that buffered the landing strip from the Village of North Aurora limits. He said the petitioner, Mr. Giordano, did everything that was asked of him.

Member Berman stated the Village of North Aurora had filed a resolution objecting the landing strip because it was within a mile and a half area of its planning area and possibly would prevent future growth. Board members voiced their support for or against the petition.

ABSTAIN: Clifford Surges

PETITION NO. 4587: Kane Land Club, LLC

Development Committee Chair Martin relayed that the Zoning Board and the Development Committee approved the petition with certain stipulations. The City of Aurora objected to the petition. Frasz discussed the impressive site plan while Member Lewis asked about the City of Aurora's objection which Martin understood was to allow annexation of the site versus being under the county’s jurisdiction. Member Silva stated she attended the ZBA meetings, spoke with the owner/operator of the company, and no one voiced objections to her. Her concern was drainage, but the matter was being addressed. She believed the small business would provide economic opportunity. Per Shepro’s question, Zoning staff, Keith Berkhout stated the City of Aurora filed an email objection, not a formal letter.

-----END OF CONSENT AGENDA -----

Res. #22 - 73 Authorizing Coroner's Office Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Adjustments Iqbal inquired about the details of the coroner’s request for a $389,000 budget increase wherein Shepro explained the adjustment was due to the office continually being underfunded for autopsy expenses, which is a state mandate, and the increase was also probably due to the increase in COVID cases and the opioid crisis. Shepro also explained that the pathologist that performs the autopsies is not on staff. And because the office is a constitutional and statutory office, the office does not charge the individual jurisdiction where the death occurs. Madam Chair added that in order to decrease such costs the amount of fentynal, opioid and COVID deaths would have to be reduced.

Res. #22 - 86 Authorizing Professional Services for Consulting and Project Management for Information Technologies Department

I.T. Dir. Fahnestock provided a brief explanation of the professional services he was seeking which was a two-year renewal agreement that was budgeted to line up the Judiciary partners, police subscribers, and the emergency telephone systems (KaneCom and Tri-Com) -- or about a $3.0 to $4.0 million dollars in capital projects. He tries to budget approximately 15% to deal with project management services for the specific areas.

Fahnestock said a second resolution will be coming forth to the Administration Committee to renew with the second project management firm. Berman stated this matter had been acknowledged by the auditor, as it pertained to vendor registration. The Chairwoman recommended that Dir. Fahnestock bring up to the Administration Committee a discussion of updating the vendor registration files.

PRESENT: Mo Iqbal

Res. #22 - 101 Authorizing RFP for Mandated Service Study

Motion by Surges, second by Berman to adopt the resolution as presented. Member Martin recommended that this resolution return to the Finance Committee so that all of the information could be vetted appropriately.

Surges summarized that the information gathered by H.R. Director Lobrillo could probably be handled in-house, along with some other studies, for a reduced cost. Director Lobrillo elaborated on the conversation she had with the finance department. Because Lobrillo’s department was working on the business analysis project, there appeared much overlap of information and she believed it could be beneficial to the use of the directors’ time, as well as the county’s funds, to combine both efforts. After much discussion and Director Lobrillo explaining how the RFP could be reworded to cover both studies, the board agreed to return the resolution to the Finance Committee. Madam Chair Pierog relayed her understanding of the 2017 and the 2019 studies, while Member Shepro understood the study to be an analysis of what the mandated services were and what it would cost to deliver those services. Motion by Martin, second by Shepro to return the resolution to the Finance Committee for better clarification. Roll call:

Res. #22 - 103 Authorizing the Board Chairman to Sign Power Agreements for Natural Gas and Electricity

Director of Environmental & Water Resources Wollnik explained the contract bidding process that takes place for the county’s purchases of natural gas and electricity through a bulk contract process. The current contract for natural gas will expire in April while the contract for electricity will expire in December. Wollnik explained how the two commodities are constantly changing and she needed a quick authorization due to the timing issues.
