4. PUBLIC COMMENT

A. Non-Agenda Items (3 Minutes)

Ms. Ruth Kuzmanic, a retired school teacher, asked that the Sam's Club mass vaccination site remain open, seeing that the system runs smoothly, it’s centrally located, but infections are increasing. The more the County could get vacinnated, the better. She asked the board to expand the site’s hours into the evenings and use part of the $1.25M dollar federal money to keep the site open.

Ms. Susan Sanders, a retired teacher, still works with her school. She also asked that the mass vaccination site remain open due to those individuals with language, economic, technological, and time challenges. The more that become vaccinated, the less crowded are the hospitals.

Ms. Lona Steele, on behalf of the League of Women Voters, Central Kane County (LWV), also voiced concern about the closing of the former Sam's club vaccination site. Ms. Steele read a statement from the LWV. The LWV did not support the closing of the mass vaccination site, especially due to the high transmission rate of the Covid-19 virus in Kane County. It places a hardship on those in most need of the vaccine. The LWV urged the Public Health Committee to reconsider its decision to close the site on December 15th.

Ms. Linda Robertson, a semi-retired microbiologist, stressed the importance of keeping the mass vaccination site open. As a taxpayer, she did not want to waste her money on individuals who are hospitalized and causing morale issues with the nurses and doctors. She voiced positive words about her visit at the former Sam’s Club vaccination site as compared to her disappointing visit to the Costco site and her husband’s visit to Walgreens.

Clerk Deputy/Recording Secretary Celeste Weilandt read into the record a statement received from Ms. Kathleen Fee, a North Aurora resident, who asked the Chairwoman to keep the vaccination site open and to hold county meetings during hours that are convenient to the public and not to the board members.

Mr. Robert McQuillan, 465 Wolcott Lane, Batavia, confirmed his meeting with Madam Chair and Member Shepro regarding the $58,000 spent at DeVry and shared the steps he took and the agencies he contacted to obtain such documentation, but was unsuccessful. He indicated that the person who authorized the payments said the board was responsible since they approved the payments. In face, he stated the former chairman of the board indicated the board was responsible.

B. Agenda Items (5 Minutes)

1. Place Public Comments on File

RESULT: APPROVED BY ROLL CALL [23 TO 0]

MOVER: Kenneth C. Shepro, Board Member

SECONDER: Dale Berman, Board Member

AYES: Deborah Allan, Mavis Bates, Dale Berman, David Brown, Mark Davoust, Ron Ford, Drew Frasz, Mo Iqbal, Michael Kenyon, Chris Kious, Tom Koppie, Bill Lenert, Anita Lewis, John Martin, Myrna Molina, Jarett Sanchez, Kenneth C. Shepro, Monica Silva, Cherryl Strathmann, Clifford Surges, Vern Tepe, Todd Wallace, Barbara Wojnicki

AWAY: Michelle Gumz

5. APPOINTMENTS

Shepro inquired of the site's closing since the board did not make the decision. Madam Chair proceeded to explain how the matter arose. She explained her conversations with Health Director Fosser to keep health personnel at the site through January in order to continue toward the next steps. Further details about the matter followed. The Chairwoman did not support closing the Batavia vaccination clinic and asked for this board to not support it either.

A. Appointments to County Board Standing and Other Committees (Not included) 1. Postpone Discussion of Committee to 1/11/2022

Madam Chair addressed the board again regarding the matter at hand. Due to the changes and the comments she has heard from board members, and as part of her annual review, she presented changes to two committees: the Public Health Committee and the American Rescue Plan Ad hoc Committee. Board Member Sanchez, who chairs both committees, would be removed as chairman for both, but remain on the committee. The new chairman for the health Committee would be Member Wallace while the chairman for the ARP Ad hoc Committee with be Member Brown.

Given that the board just received the changes, Sanchez made a motion to postpone the discussion of committee appointment for the Health Department and the ARP Ad hoc Committee to January 11, 2022. Second by Member Kious.

Members proceeded to voice their support or opposition to the appointments and their reasons why. Frasz was in favor of postponing the matter for 30 days but in the meantime, have Director Fosser provide a report as soon as possible on the health department’s ability to keep the vaccination site open. Other members voiced that the matter appeared to be political, no prior notice, and that a 30-day review of the changes was in order.

Member Ford suggested getting a list of the health department’s concerns, how many staff have been on-site, and the peak hours worked, so that adjustments can be made.

2. Postpone Motion on Emergency Action

Madam Chair asked that the board send her questions or if they needed additional information on the matter. Member Molina asked for notes from the meetings the chairwoman held regarding her reasons for the committee changes and to send to the full board.

Member Shepro motioned that the board, having been made aware of the proposed closing of the Batavia vaccination site finds that 1) due to the nature of the pandemic, the lack of prior knowledge of the site's closing date, and the need to address the continuing public health crisis in vaccination, provide an emergency requiring immediate action by this board and it is the direction of the board that the health department take all necessary steps to ensure that the site remains open until the end of January (2022), at which time the board and/or appropriate committee will review what additional steps can be taken. Member Frasz seconded the motion.

There was general concern among the board members on how to keep the site open, assist Health Director Fosser, and provide resources to her. Health Director Fosser explained the issue was finding the labor force to vaccinate. Her office was competing with the State Department of Health and other contractors. Member Lewis suggested that other agencies, such as the VNA, be contacted and possibly partner with them.

Due to the motion on the floor, State’s Atty. Mosser explained a consensus could take place but no action. Other options were explained, i.e., emergency board meeting or special board meeting. Madam Chair pointed out a December 12th Public Health meeting would take place next week and, if an emergency meeting was necessary, it could be held immediately after the public health committee meeting where the board could discuss the future lease. Health director Fosser stated she will work with her staff to address Mr. Shepro’s motion and follow through, understanding the last open date at the vaccination site could be January 29, 2022. (Tepe steps away 11:12 a.m.)

Shepro moved to postpone his earlier motion to a special board meeting, to be held, if necessary, at 10:00 a.m. on December 22, 2021 - the same day as the next Public Health Committee meeting, and that the Health Department be prepared to report within 7 days whether or not they will be reinstated of the activities of the vaccination site. Koppie seconded the motion. Roll call:

B. Ordinance Amending Section 2-48 of the Kane County Code (First Reading)

Madam Chair shared a proposal to revise Section 2-48 of the Kane County Code to add a standing committee called the Community Investment Committee (Tepe steps away), where such committee will focus on: the current needs of the community/county, including discussion about senior services, homelessness, food pantries, etc., be a long-term committee versus a short-term ad hoc committee, and report to the Executive Committee. Details followed with Madam Chair suggesting that the board reflect on the proposal. Shepro discussed what the proposed ordinance would not address and what it allowed the board to do. (Tepe returns.)

Shepro also suggested that a general clean-up of the ordinance take place since some terms/provisions were out-dated. (Martin steps away). Madam Chair relayed that the ARPA Committee would continue under this new committee. Member Kious requested that this matter be discussed at the Committee of the Whole prior to the Executive Committee. (Martin returns) Sanchez also suggested the chairwoman form an ad hoc committee to review the county's code overall for outdated terms/provisions.

Due to the proposed ordinance being presented today, a motion was made by Shepro, second by Brown, to forward the first reading of the proposed Ordinance (Section 2-48) to the Executive Committee meeting with discussion and/or action to be taken at the January 11, 2022 County Board meeting.

Koppie recommended, that due to some of the issues raised regarding the structure of the ARPA Committee, to table the resolution for 30 days. However, Shepro noted the services were not connected to the resolution, the State’s Attorney’s Office was extremely busy, and the resolution should move forward. Per member Koppie’s concerns, Atty.
