CHAIR'S REMARKS
Please find my report since the County Board meeting on July 14. I am honored to serve you as Chair of the Lake County Board and I look forward to working with you and continuing our efforts on bipartisan policies and legislative matters.
COVID-19 Response
I want to extend my gratitude to our outstanding staff and board members for their hard work over the last several months in responding to the COVID 19 pandemic. We have
been working together with municipalities, townships, non-profits, local businesses and residents to make sure that these relief dollars are reaching as many residents as
possible, in the most efficient way possible. Thank you for ensuring that critical needs will be met across Lake County as we move forward together towards recovery. Just two weeks ago this board allocated $105 million – out of the $121.5 million to several different entities:
$35 million municipality, fire protection district, and other taxing body reimbursement for municipal and local essential services
$20 million small business assistance
$18 million food, rental, utility, housing, employment and other resident support and assistance
$15.3 million Lake County COVID-19 expenses
$13.7 million contact tracing, education, vaccination, behavioral health services, and other public health support and assistance
$3 million personal protective equipment
I also want to thank Patrice and the rest of the County Administration team for their hard work in closing the budget gap resulting from this devastating epidemic. I’ve read that the economic impact of COVID 19 can be equated with 9/11 and the 2008 recession, combined, and that was a few months ago. We know that taxpayers are hurting. The unemployment rate stands at 11.5% for June in Lake County, coming off a high of 14.7%. I personally know people who have lost their jobs or who have taken anywhere between a 30% to a 15% decrease in their salaries since April. Our food pantries are busier than ever, and the calls to 211 are overwhelmingly for help with rental assistance and finding shelter. Our revenues are projected to be down 53.6MM, and through our staff’s hard work and collaboration with department heads and elected countywide officials, they’ve been able to reduce that down to a projected shortfall of $9.5MM. We know that taxpayers count on us to make difficult decisions for the best long-term outcome, and I am proud of the careful consideration of everyone involved to ensure we are doing the right thing for our residents and Lake County employees.
2020 Census
The importance of the 2020 Census cannot be overstated, especially now. Lake County’s self-response rate is 72.2%, which is above average for the state of Illinois. Thank you to Vice Chair Cunningham and Member Martini for their attendance. Please continue to work with your local government and non-government agencies to increase the number of people responding to the census. To see the tracking, please visit 2020Census.gov.

Board of Health Report.
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates:
The United States continues to be the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 5 million cases and 150,000 deaths. In Lake County, we have had over 12,000 confirmed cases and over 400 deaths.
Lake and McHenry counties are working together to combat the resurgence of COVID-19 as the North Suburban Region 9 identified in the State’s Restore Illinois Mitigation Plan. Under the plan, if our region sustains an 8% testing positivity rate for three consecutive days or sees an increase in positivity and simultaneous decrease in hospital capacity, we will need to implement community mitigation interventions to slow the spread of the virus. Currently the North Suburban testing positivity rate is at 5.5% as of August 11, 2020. If our region sees a resurgence, data-informed mitigation measures could include restricting the size of social gatherings, reducing capacity at businesses, or scaling back activities that pose a higher risk of transmission, such as indoor dining and bar service. Right now, cases among the teens and young adults are rising in the region, with many
Lake County Illinois Page 12 of 22
Lake County Board Meeting Minutes - Final August 11, 2020
cases linked to social gatherings. The 20-29 age group now has the highest number of cases.
Complaints related to businesses not enforcing social distancing and masking guidelines have increased dramatically in Lake County. In June and July, Lake County staff received and investigated over 200 business-related complaints.
All residents are urged to consistently follow the 3 Ws:
Wear a mask
Wash your hands; and
Watch your distance from others.
Due to surges in other states and increases in cases in Illinois, the Lake County Health Department is also recommending residents avoid non-essential travel at this time. For more information, please visit the Lake County Coronavirus website, www.lakecountyil.gov/coronavirus.
Contact Tracing
The Health Department is moving forward with hiring approximately 150 COVID-19 case investigators and contact tracers through a $4.9 million dollar grant from the Illinois Department of Public Health, as well as positions from Workforce Development and the CDC Foundation.
So far, approximately 20% of the positions have been filled and onboarded. It is anticipated that all positions will be filled by the end of September.
The Health Department is still seeking applicants, especially those from Lake County communities most affected by COVID-19. Interested applicants can apply at www.lchdcareers.com.
Mental Health First Aid
The Health Department’s Mental Health First Aid initiative has resumed operations and is now offering classes virtually. This includes a 2-hour self-paced course, followed by 4 hours of instructor-led training delivered virtually.
The virtual course curricula includes expanded content on trauma, addiction and self-care. Mental Health First Aid is an education program that teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a mental health challenge, how to listen non-judgmentally and give reassurance to a person who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, and how to refer a person to appropriate professional support and services.
For more information and to sign up for classes, visit http://mentalhealth.today/.
Vaccinate to Protect Against Preventable Diseases
August is National Immunization Awareness Month. While the upcoming school year will look different this year due to COVID-19, the importance of keeping children up-to-date on their required vaccinations has not changed.
Vaccines give you the power to protect your family against serious diseases like measles, whooping cough, cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), and pneumonia. Immunizations are not only for children. Every year, thousands of adults in the U.S. become ill from infectious diseases that could be prevented by vaccines.
Talk to your doctor about needed vaccines. Vaccination appointments are available at the Health Department’s Community Health Centers throughout Lake County. To schedule an appointment, please call (847) 377-8800.
End Overdose
August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day, a day to remember those lost, acknowledge the grief of those left behind, and fight to end overdose.
According to a July 20 report from the American Medical Association, more than 35 states have reported increases in opioid-related deaths during the pandemic.
Help is available. The Illinois Helpline is a statewide resource for substance use treatment and recovery services. Services are free, confidential, and available to anyone 24 hours a day.
To access the Helpline, call 833-2FINDHELP or text “HELP” to 833234.
Lake County also offers harm reduction services, including free naloxone, a life-saving medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. Call (847) 377-8450 or visit, www.lakecountyil.gov/harmreduction for more information.
August is National Breastfeeding Month
To celebrate National Breastfeeding Month, the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC Program) is sharing videos and information through the Health Department’s social media platforms to promote and normalize breastfeeding. World Breastfeeding Week was August 1-7. This year’s theme was “Support Breastfeeding for a Healthier Planet.” It delivers health, nutritional and emotional benefits to both children and mothers, and forms part of a sustainable food system.
WIC is also celebrating Black Breastfeeding Week from August 25-31. The week was created to highlight racial disparities in breastfeeding rates. CDC data indicates that 75% of white women have ever breastfed compared to 58.9% of black women.

The village’s creative solution, coupled with Lake County’s strength in life sciences and manufacturing, helped to land the top-notch employer.
Xttrium is currently repurposing the 61,000 sq. ft. Fred W. Losch Beverage Company building at 436 Park Avenue and has purchased an adjoining four-acre parcel to allow for the future construction of an 80,000 sq. ft. building addition. Initially, the company expects the project to create an additional 30 jobs, with 20 – 25 more jobs to be added following the implementation of the building addition. Lake County Partners will continue its work with the company as construction moves forward to ensure that it is plugged into the local talent pipeline.
