6.6 20-0310
Joint resolution amending the Lake County Health Department Environmental Health Fees Schedule (as authorized in Lake County Code of Ordinances Chapter 178)
· The Environmental Health Water Well program is proposing revisions to fees associated with non-community water systems.
o The proposed fee revisions relieve facilities from having to pay potentially high lab costs for repeat samples, reduce the time and cost of billing for repeat and monthly samples for Health Department staff, and eliminate the need for monthly-sampled facilities to pay monthly invoices during the year.
o The proposal, if implemented, will be revenue neutral.
· This proposal would eliminate charging and invoicing for repeat sample fees, and
would offset the revenue by slightly increasing the annual permit fee for all facilities. o With a projected two percent CPI for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, the cost of an
annual permit in 2021 would be $218 without this change.
o This proposal would increase the FY 2021 fee by $22 to $240, or around 10
percent.
o But no facility, with the exception of those who have neglected to take
documented, mandated actions to correct a system deficiency would ever
be responsible for additional collection and analysis fees.
· The proposal also creates two new fees that would allow the option for
monthly-sampled facilities to pay for the samples in one payment at the start of the year, along with their permit fee.
o Potentially affected facilities were contacted and are in favor of this proposal.
· The Board of Health met regarding this item on February 26, 2020.
6.7 20-0312
Resolution authorizing the proposed revisions to Lake County Code of Ordinances Chapter 177, Tobacco Regulations.
· Due to the adoption of the Prevention of Tobacco Use by Persons under 21 Years of Age and Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products Act (720 ILCS 675/), also known as Tobacco 21, revisions to Chapter 177 need to be made to align the ordinance with the Act.
· The amendments to the Act changed the definition of a “tobacco product” by removing electronic cigarettes and alternative tobacco products, defining each of these items separately.
· To make the correction, the proposed revisions to Chapter 177 strike the current definitions of “tobacco product” and “electronic smoking device,” and add the definitions of “tobacco product,” “electronic cigarette,” and “alternative nicotine product” as defined in the Act.
· Additionally, the term “tobacco products” is replaced with “tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, and (or) alternative nicotine products” throughout the ordinance.
· The Board of Health met regarding this item on February 26, 2020.
6.8 20-0465
Joint resolution accepting the Illinois Department of Public Health grant and authorizing an emergency appropriation in the amount of $157,506 for the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program.
· The $157,506 Illinois Department of Public Health grant will be used to support a new part-time nurse position and cover the costs of mammograms.
· The $157,506 in additional grant funding has not been previously appropriated because the grant resources were secured after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 budget.
· The grant award will be for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
6.9 20-0568
