CMAP COUNTY BOARD CHAIRS MEETING

The Cook and Collar County Board Chairs met last month to discuss the impact of the

state budget impasse, including the financial strain it is placing on Illinois counties and,

specifically, the child support enforcement program which the state delegates to counties

through a contractual relationship.

The Chairs continue to advance its regional economic development collaborative and we

have made significant progress. The group expressed an interest in formalizing the

partnership so that we can build on our past successes and enhance current programs

like the Metals Consortium and Metro Export Initiative.

We also received an update on a proposal CMAP is working on to fund regional

infrastructure.

Lake County Board Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2016

Lake County Partners Big Event

Many of us attended the Lake County Partners “Big Event” earlier this month. The

breakfast focused on growing our human capital in Lake County. Attendees heard from

speakers about the performance of the national and local economy as well as

employment, workforce, housing and other key trends that influence Lake County’s

attractiveness. Much of the presentation supported the work that we have been doing

with our Leadership Lake County initiative to attract and retain young professionals to live

and work in Lake County.

Tour of Lake County Innovation Center in Libertyville with Vice-Chair Calabresa

Vice Chair Carol Calabresa, Kevin Considine for Lake County Partners and I recently

toured the Lake County Innovation Center in Libertyville. The office campus is currently

being redeveloped from the old Motorola facility into a new, vibrant office park that aims

to attract life science and high tech companies to the approximately one million square

foot space. The center is anticipated to be completed in the next several months.

LAW AND JUDICIAL

911 Task Force Meeting

I convened a 911 Task Force meeting on May 25th at the Department of Transportation

to further the discussion on regional 911 consolidations among the Task Force members.

At the meeting, staff provided an update on the progress of the LCETSB feasibility study

in addition to presenting research on “lessons learned” from successful consolidations in

other jurisdictions nationwide. I intend to bring the group back together following the

completion of the next phase of the LCETSB feasibility study.

Lake County Police Memorial

I had the honor of speaking at this year’s police memorial to honor our fallen Lake County

officers. It was a very touching tribute to our men and women in blue that put their lives

on the line to make Lake County safe. I want to thank Sheriff Curran, Undersheriff Rose,

State’s Attorney Nerheim and Lake County Chiefs of Police Association President

Tannahill for making this such a successful memorial.

Board of Health Report.

Summer Activity Reminders

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and the Lake County Health

Department has begun monitoring the over 100 licensed swimming beaches in Lake

County. Daily updates on beach conditions can be found on the Health Department

website.

On June 1st, the Health Department began monitoring mosquito populations,

particularly the species that carry disease such as West Nile virus. The Health

Department will also be deploying additional mosquito traps to determine if the mosquito

Aedes albopictus, the Asian Tiger mosquito, is present in Lake County. This mosquito,

which to date has not been found in Lake County, may be capable of transmitting Zika

virus.

Ticks are still very active and Deer ticks in particular, which transmit Lyme and other

diseases, have been on the increase in recent years. There have been 104 human

cases of Lyme disease from 2013 – 2015 in Lake County. As people go outside to enjoy

warmer weather they should remember to protect themselves and their families against

ticks.

Health Department Offers Free Tests at Health Fair on June 27

The Health Department, the Lake County Stands Against Stigma Coalition and other

community partners have organized a free health fair in observance of National HIV

Testing Day.

The event will be held on Monday, June 27, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., on the front

lawn of the Belvidere Medical Building, 2400 Belvidere Rd., Waukegan (near the corner

of Belvidere Road and Keller Avenue).

In addition to free health and community resources, free HIV tests (for people 13 and

older) and hepatitis C tests (for people 18 and older) will be available. A finger stick will

be used for the HIV and hepatitis C testing. Results are available within 20 minutes.

Information about viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections will also be available.

New Program Quickly Links Individuals to Treatment

Individuals struggling with substance abuse are now getting linked to treatment faster

through a pilot program launched by the Lake County Opioid Initiative called “A Way

Out”.

Lake County Illinois Page 14 of 19

Lake County Board Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2016

The program is being offered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at participating police

departments across Lake County. Individuals, who possess narcotics or paraphernalia,

enter a participating police department and tell an officer they are requesting help. The

program is set up so that participants will not be criminally charged.

The Health Department will provide screenings over the phone to determine the

appropriate course of treatment services, and will make arrangements for either

outpatient or inpatient services. Those unable to pay for treatment due to lack of

insurance or financial resources will not be turned away. For more information visit the “A

Way Out” website at: awayoutlc.org.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

The Health Department has received funding from the Health Resources and Services

Administration to expand its Medication-Assisted Treatment program (MAT). The

expansion is part of the Health Department’s comprehensive approach to address

increased heroin/opioid use in the county.

To date, 85 lives have been saved in Lake County through the use of naloxone. But

individuals who are saved, and others facing similar addictions, need to be connected to

evidence-based treatment or they are likely to continue their use.

The HRSA grant is doubling the Health Department’s capacity to provide this

treatment at its 3004 Grand Avenue building in Waukegan.

An event to announce this expansion will take place Monday, June 27, from 10 to

11:30 a.m. at our 3010 Grand Avenue building in Waukegan.

Lake County Partners Report.

LAKE COUNTY PARTNERS COUNTY BOARD UPDATE

JUNE 2016

Big Event Recap

Lake County Partners is pleased to report that the organization’s second annual “Big

Event” was held at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort on June 3rd for a sold-out crowd of

business and community leaders. This year, over 570 people registered for the event,

and it was sponsored by 36 businesses and organizations, including Lake County.

Guests were given an opportunity to network and a content-rich program which included:

remarks on Lake County Partners and local economic development activities by Lake

County Partners Board Chairman Joseph Luna, an economic update from Dr. Steve Vogt

of Mesirow Financial, a county leadership update from Lake County Board Chairman

Aaron Lawlor and a keynote address by urban geographer and acclaimed author Joel

Kotkin. Kotkin discussed the themes of his recent book release The Human City, which

uses demographic data to predict that the suburbs are positioned for future growth and

success, particularly as Millennials begin to embark on the next stage of their lives.

Every person in attendance received a signed copy of Kotkin’s new book, as well as Lake

County Partner’s new Annual Report, which can be found online at

www.lakecountypartners.com

The event was widely covered in the media, with stories in Crain’s Chicago Business, the

Chicago Tribune and the Daily Herald. Following the Big Event, Joel Kotkin was

interviewed on WBEZ Chicago’s Morning Shift radio program, where he discussed

demographic shifts and Lake County’s robust economy and anticipated future success.

Economic Development Success Story: thredUP, Village of Vernon Hills

thredUP, the leading online marketplace to buy and sell like-new women’s and kids’

clothing, has experienced tremendous growth over the last 18 months. The company was

in search of a large Midwest distribution center that would serve as a model for their

continual operational expansion, and there was an immediate need to hire and train 300

staff members quickly.

After discussing opportunities with Lake County Partners and evaluating several locations

in the Midwest, thredUP chose to occupy a 145,000 sq. ft. facility in Vernon Hills due to

the presence of Lake County’s highly skilled workforce. Lake County Partners connected

thredUP with the Lake County Workforce Development Department, and they have

worked with the company to hold custom hiring events and assist with the recruitment of

new team members.
