IV. SOLID WASTE AGENCY OF NORTHERN COOK COUNTY UPDATE
Earlier this year, the Village Board indicated a desire to devote some time to a
general review of our participation in the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook
County (SWANCC).
SWANCC is comprised of 23 cities and villages located in north and northwest Cook
County. The 23 member communities formed SWANCC to provide for the
economically and environmentally sound management of their municipal solid
waste.
The Agency currently operates the Wheeling Township Transfer Station and over
the past several years has been attempting to construct a high-tech balefill (landfill)
in the Bartlett area but has not been able to secure approval from the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers. This lack of approval is currently the subject of litigation with
the Army Corps.
In September, the SWANCC Board of Directors will be reviewing its short and long-
term financial plans including the possibility of refinancing some or all of the
Agency's $60 million in current outstanding debt.
In an effort to provide the Board with the most timely information regarding the status
of SWANCC, Executive Director Brooke Beal has been invited to attend the review
and answer questions which Board members may have regarding the status of the
balefill, operation of the Transfer Station and the financial condition of the Agency.
The attached information provides background on key policy issues relating to our
membership in SWANCC. A list of general and specific questions is included as a
means of guiding discussion. These questions have been submitted to Mr. Beal so
that he can be prepared to answer same.
V. REVIEW OF PROPOSED YOUTH AND GANG RELATED OFFENSES
ORDINANCE
The proposed Youth and Gang Related Offenses Ordinance came before the
Village Board at the August 1 Board meeting for a first reading. Due to continued
discussion and debate by the Board, Mayor Farley asked that this matter be held
over to the next available Committee of the Whole meeting so that sufficient time
could be devoted to this matter.
The draft contained in the Committee of the Whole Agenda is the same as that
distributed as part of the August 1 Board meeting. Mr. Hill and appropriate staff will
be in attendance.
