END OF CONSENT AGENDA
9. Executive Session (If Needed)
None
10. Committee Reports
Co. Bd. member Iqbal discussed the upcoming 2020 Census and the Complete Count Committees (CCC) program. In 2010, there was a significantly low participation rate statewide for the Census. A significant amount of the population was undercounted. Cook County’s participation rate was only 70%. Kane County had 81%. The ramifications and consequences include under representation and losing seats in the Electoral College votes. This lasts for ten years and a loss of congressional seats and more importantly federal funding is significant. The Federal Government provides funding every cycle and distributes accordingly to the population. The state appears to lose the population when the consensus is not at full capacity. Iqbal stated there has been a tremendous loss of funding to do this inaccuracy.
Iqbal requested to develop, introduce and support the Board members to form the Kane County Complete Count Commission for the Census 2020. A proposal for the full Board will be drafted and the Commission will be called the Local Complete Count Commission (LCCC). Subcommittees will be formed as suitable. The goal is to engage the communities, promote all people to vote and to be included in the census. Support was solicited by the Board to designate Dr. Iqbal as Chairman of the LCCC. All Department Directors, individuals and Board members are welcome to volunteer to form the commission. There was consensus from the Committee to go forward with the recommendation to form the LCCC.
Co. Bd. Legislative Committee Co-chairs Sanchez and Hanson provided a brief report regarding the capital bill that passed and projects that were approved. Sanchez noted the funding request for the Longmeadow Toll Bridge for Kane County was not granted. Hanson stated none of the “marquee” earmarks were allocated in our favor for this funding period.
Co. Bd. Agriculture Committee Chair Kenyon announced June is Dairy Month. Kenyon promoted an Open House at the Lenkaitis Dairy Farm on June 29, 2019 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Chairman Lauzen referred back to the discussion regarding the funding requests for the capital bill. He discussed the allocation of approved funding to other counties. He noted that Kendall County received $100M for an extension of the Metra line although the expenses of repair exceed the revenue. The request of $45M for Kane County’s Longmeadow toll bridge did not pass. Referencing two slides not included in the agenda packet, Lauzen discussed the increase in infrastructure, gas tax and license fees estimating in a total of $73M in revenue annually for the state. In response to these increases, Lauzen encouraged the Committee to continue to reach out to our legislators. Our state representatives receive a certain amount of funding to provide and disburse as they see fit called the “Member Initiatives”. Lauzen encouraged the Committee to ask our representatives for an allocation from the member initiatives as a funding source. Significant discussion occurred.
Co. Bd. member Surges announced Senator Don Dewitt will be hosting a meeting this Friday and recommended all Board members to attend. Brief discussion continued.
