Ms. Cheryl Gray, 108 Shoreline Court. St. Charles, Elgin and a parishioner with Highland Avenue Church of the Bretheran in Elgin discussed her congregation's interest in the March 2020 mental health referenda in Elgin and Dundee Townships and was concerned that the referenda approved by the voters could be nullified one year later. Ms. Gray voiced the need for mental health services. She described the timeline of the proposed referendum, the fact that it was noticed publicly, certified as approved on the Clerk's web site, and then sent the results to the Board of Elections. She relayed the importance of reviewing referendum language on the front end of an election's process. Ms. Gray explained that State's Attorney Mosser indicated to her it was the townships responsibility to ask for the review, not the Clerk nor the State's Attorney's Office. To date, the Clerk's Office has not responded and, as a result, Ms. Gray provided a petition signed by over 300 Kane County voters which basically stated that they believe the recent actions of the County Clerk's Office disenfranchise the 13,533 voters who approved the Elgin and Dundee Townships mental health referenda on 3/17/2020. Ms. Gray relayed that the Clerk's office has be disingenuous with the voters and local government officials by certifying the results of the proposition and then nullifying such results and not executing the tax levy. She believes the Clerk’s Office should have review procedures in place to prevent administrative barriers from enacting the wishes of the voters. She asked the board to request that the Clerk’s office send letters by June 30, 2021 to all Elgin and Dundee Township registered voters/ taxpayers articulating the specific objections and legal implications of the referendum language used and to post such letter on County Clerk's web site through the end of the year as a source of information.
Ms. Laurie Baker, President and CEO for the Association of Individual Development (AID). AID is member of the Elgin Human Services Council, made up of various non-profit social service providers supporting the City of Elgin, Elgin Township and Kane County. Ms. Baker discussed her organization and the many other organizations who worked to get the 708 referenda on the ballot as well as to educate the community. Upon hearing that the extension of the tax levy would not occur, a sign-on letter, which included a number of social service providers and advocates, was signed and hand-delivered to State’s Attorney Mosser and the Clerk's offices which asked to immediately levy the tax. Ms. Baker relayed that Elgin voters voted 67% for the additional tax while 62% voted in favor in Dundee Township. Ms. Baker shared the challenges for those who will need mental health, substance abuse and disability services.
Mr. Scott Douglas, 6 White Oak Lane, Elgin also supported the tax levy and described his struggle with the situation. He cited Ben Silver, an attorney, who indicated that PTEL law was triggered when there is a tax increase that is being promoted without a referendum. However, a referendum occurred, the voters voted, and the language was clear. Mr. Douglas understood the Clerk certified the referendum language but did not move it forward. He encouraged the board to protect the vote and seek a lawsuit if needed.
Ms. Bernie May, a licensed clinical social worker, shared her concern about the many individuals who need mental health services now but will not receive them for another six months. She worked on the 708 referendum for over five years only to have the Clerk not extend the levy, even though the election results were certified to the State. She asked this board to support mental health services, work with State legislators so this matter does not occur again, allocate funds from the American Rescue Plan fund, and to build up the mental health system.
Mr. Mark Avalar, 2073 Peachtree Lane, Algonquin (Dundee Twp.), explained he supported the mental health referendum in March 2020 and explained how such services have affected his family personally. He voiced disappointment the case was being litigated. He explained litigation was filed by the Dundee Twp. Board, based on an approval of their board, on April 21, 2021. A complaint was filed on May 5, 2021. However, Mr. Avalar explained that at the 4/22/2021 Public Service Committee meeting, State’s Attorney Mosser indicated she went by case law in determining her recommendation to the County Clerk. The Clerk did not make the decision, nor was he surpressing the vote or ending mental health services. The Clerk, in this case, was following the State Attorney’s office’s direction. Mr. Avalar explained the various hats the County Clerk wore - elections, tax extender, vital records. He asked that the litigation be quickly completed so that help can get to the people that need it in the two townships.
Regarding Zoning Petition No. 4573, Mr. Dan Antili, 45W336 Wheeler Road, Big Rock Twp. stated he was looking to rezone an acre and half to construct a new home after the existing one is demolished. The remainder of the property will remain in agriculture.
Chairwoman Pierog entertained a motion to place public comments on file.

Shepro, Monica Silva, Cherryl Strathmann, Clifford Surges, Vern Tepe, Barbara Wojnicki |
Member Frasz reviewed the interview process for the Metra Board appointment and said the selection committee (comprised of Members Frasz, Tepe, Iqbal and assisted by KDOT Exec. Dir. Carl Schoedel) agreed that Mr. Joseph McMahon was the best candidate for the Metra Board.
Member Allan raised the fact that there may be ethical issues by approving this candidate, recalling the State’s Attorney sent a memo previously to the board, who recommended to not consider candidates who have been previously employed by the county until one year has passed. Atty. Mosser explained the difference between the two scenarios. Dialog followed on the procedures used to select the candidate and if paid positions were to be vetted through the committees or advertisement, wherein Member Shepro explained the Metra position was being paid by Metra via state statute; not by the Kane County Board and, therefore, would not go through the county's committee structure.
Motion to table by Koppie. No second voiced. Motion died for lack of second.
Members Wojnicki and Ford expressed their reasons for their opposition to the appointment, i.e., the Maxxam Rehab facility and a missed opportunity for racial diversity. Member Iqbal also shared his comments on how the resumes were received piece-meal and that the Chairwoman should address it. Member Shepro provided his own comments about the Maxxam litigation. He recalled his own representation of the (Fox River) fire district, who opposed the Maxxam facility, and pointed out this board agreed to a settlement. To suggest the settlement was the result of the representation the County had by Mr. McMahon was unfair. Shepro supported the Metra appointment, along with Members Molina, Berman, Kious, and Silva - who emphasized the need for diversity. Allan requested that the Chairwoman send the resume of future appointments to the board to review prior to a board meeting.

END OF CONSENT AGENDA
Res. #21 - 275 Authorizing Litigation Related to Extending Deadline For Filing County Reapportionment Plan and Related Matters
Mr. Phil Luetkehans, special assistant State’s Attorney referenced the draft complaint that was submitted by the State’s Attorney’s office, and shared the basis of the complaint will include relief from the July 13, 2021 apportionment plan deadline date as well as an extension to file the County’s plan by October 1, 2021. Should the Census Bureau not be able to provide its Legacy data before September 10, 2021, the County will seek an extension for every day the bureau is late. Per Mr. Luetkehans, the County will seek an order to not allow the County Clerk to convene a County apportionment commission but it will seek to extend the apportionment commission’s deadline to pass a map by November 30, 2021. On the topic of signature requirements for a County Board candidate, Mr. Luetkehans reported 37 signatures are required for the Republican party and 27 signatures for the Democratic party. As addressed in the complaint, if a candidate for County Board member starts circulating petitions before a final map is passed, they will be allowed to use signatures from both their current district and the new district. The last relief will include that an apportionment commission not convene and pass a map but declare that the Clerk has the ability to accept an apportionment plan from the Kane County Board until October 21, 2021.
The Chairwoman entertained a motion to approve Resolution No. 21- 275:
In closing, Mr. Luetkehans explained that if there are questions/ concerns, Attorney Niermann has the ability to direct the concern to the Legal Affairs and Claims Committee in order to avoid special meetings of this board. Shepro noted that key to this discussion was the relief being sought, the proposed relief was narrow in scope, and as far as talk about extending the Primary election, Member Shepro believed it highly unlikely to be granted by a court, since it would involve a statewide issue versus a county-wide issue. Shepro commended the special State’s Attorney and the State’s Attorney’s office for their work.

Per Frasz, adopting this resolution allows the county to receive an additional $1.5M Dollars from the State for the last section of the Longmeadow Parkway. Member Kious, while he appreciated receiving funds from the State for the project, he reminded board members that there is a toll on the roadway, which has been referred to as a “sunsetted” toll and he will continue to remind the board to remove it as soon as possible.
