PROPOSED RESOLUTION

PROPOSED RESOLUTION REGARDING AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN

WHEREAS, on November 14, 2006, the Cook County Board of Commissioners passed the Blair Holt Assault Weapons Ban, Chapter 54, Division 4, Section 54-210, et seq. making it unlawful for any person to manufacture, sell, offer or display for sale, give, lend, transfer ownership of, acquire, carry or possess any assault weapon or large capacity magazine in Cook County; and

WHEREAS, in 2006, the Cook County Board of Commissions placed an Advisory Referendum on the General Election Ballot on the question, “For the health and safety of children and the entire community, shall the State of Illinois enact a comprehensive ban on the manufacture, sale, delivery, and possession of military-style assault weapons and .50 caliber rifles.” That resolution passed by a vote of Cook County voters of 997,975 (86%) to 151,016 (14%); and

WHEREAS, in 2014, the Cook County Board of Commissions placed an Advisory Referendum on the General Election Ballot on the question, “Shall the Illinois General Assembly enact the Illinois Public Safety Act (Senate Bill 3659) which would require universal background checks for firearm transfers and prohibit the sale and transfer of assault weapons, assault weapon attachments and high capacity ammunition magazines?” That resolution passed by a vote of Cook County voters of 1,092,729 (86.65%) to 168,298 (13.35%); and

WHEREAS, as residents gathered from across Chicagoland to celebrate our nation's birthday, they were victimized by another instance of our nation's gun violence epidemic. During a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, a man with a troubled and violent past killed seven people and injured dozens more, whose ages ranged from 8 to 85 years old; and

WHEREAS, many Chicago residents continue to be victimized and traumatized by gun violence. Over that same Fourth of July weekend, 57 men, women, and children were shot in multiple incidents across the city including at least one mass shooting. Nine of those men and women died; and

WHEREAS, semi-automatic military style assault weapons and high capacity magazines are designed to increase a shooter’s ability to fire the maximum number of rounds in a shorter amount of time, thus increasing the likelihood of mass casualties or injuries; and

WHEREAS, a review of mass shootings by Mayors Against Illegal Guns found that when an assault weapon or large capacity magazine was used it resulted in 135 percent more victims and 57 percent more deaths, compared to other mass shooting; and

WHEREAS, assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines were outlawed for 10 years between 1994 and 2004 as a part of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban; and

WHEREAS, the number of people killed or injured in mass shootings involving assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines during the decade of the ban was nearly half what it was in the decade before. It was a third of the number of casualties counted between September 2004 and June 2016; and

WHEREAS, States with restrictions on magazine size experience less than half the rate of mass shootings than states without restrictions; and

WHEREAS, just this year mass shootings have penetrated all sectors of our society - white, black, Asian, and Hispanic. The shooting in Highland Park was the 309th mass shooting our nation has witnessed in less than 200 days. Cities throughout our state and nation are traumatized by violence involving assault weapons. These weapons pose a danger to our citizens and to the persons charged with protecting us. We cannot stand by as senseless gun violence continues to plague our state and our country; and

WHEREAS, in January of 2022, House Bill 5522 was introduced in the General Assembly. The bill would make it a felony to buy or sell assault-style rifles and high-capacity magazines, additionally requiring existing owners of such weapons to register them with the Illinois State Police and prohibiting those owners from selling them in-state to anyone but a federally licensed firearms dealer; and

WHEREAS, since the July 4 mass shooting in Highland Park, 50 more lawmakers have signed on to HB5522 as co-sponsors; and

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the Cook County Board of Commissioners, in the most forceful manner possible, calls on the Illinois General Assembly and the United States Congress to enact legislation prohibiting the sale and transfer of assault weapons, assault weapon attachments, and high capacity ammunition magazines.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT copies of this Resolution shall be sent to: the Speaker and Minority Leader of the Illinois House of Representatives, the President and Minority Leader of the Illinois Senate, the Speaker and Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, and the President and Minority Leader of the United States Senate.

This Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and approval.

The allocation will support the selection of a Program Administrator and the development of the selected technology platform.

6. The remaining $3M reserve in the Equity Fund of the $50M addressed herein may be used to support other priorities identified above or further addressed in the Equity Fund Taskforce Report.

Sponsored by: TONI PRECKWINKLE (President), Cook County Board of Commissioners PROPOSED RESOLUTION

PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR ARPA VITAL AND SMART COMMUNITIES PROGRAM INITIATIVES IMPLEMENTED BY THE BUREAU OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

WHEREAS, on March 11, 2021, the federal government authorized the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which includes $1.9 trillion in federal stimulus funds to hasten the United States’ recovery from the economic and health effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; and

WHEREAS, specifically, the federal government has authorized and allocated a federal award of approximately $1,000,372,385B of ARPA funding to Cook County to assist the County in its recovery from the economic and health effects of COVID-19; and

WHEREAS, on June 24, 2021, the Cook County American Rescue Plan Act Framework (the “ARPA Framework”) was presented to the Cook County Board of Commissioners; and

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners via Resolution 21-3654 accepted the ARPA federal award allocated to Cook County to assist the County in its recovery from the economic and health effects of COVID-19 in the amount of approximately $1,000,372,385.00; and

WHEREAS, Resolution 21-3654 further authorized the Cook County Budget Director and Comptroller to create and implement a Special Purpose Fund for the ARPA award and other accounting measures to track the acceptance and spending of the federal award; and

WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners authorized the Chief Financial Officer, Budget Director, Chief Procurement Officer and applicable using agencies to issue grants, contracts and agreements for ARPA programs approved via Resolutions 22-3657 and 22-0637; and

WHEREAS, to further the Policy Roadmap Goals, the Bureau of Economic Development (BED) has developed a menu of Vital Community and Smart Community programs and initiatives which have undergone review and approval through the Project Management Office process to utilize ARPA funding for such programs and initiatives pursuant to the issuance of grants, contracts, and agreements; and

WHEREAS, Resolutions 22-3657 and 22-0637 provided that any grants issued regarding ARPA programs in an amount over $1M shall require the approval of the Cook County Board of Commissioners.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Cook County Board of Commissioners hereby approves the issuance of the following agreements by the BED to utilize ARPA funding for multiyear terms through Fiscal Year 2026, subject to annual appropriation by the Board, for the BED programs and initiatives as follows:

1. Enter into a Subrecipient Agreement with the Women’s Business Development Center (WBDC) in an aggregate amount of up to $70,000,000 to foster equitable small business recovery in Cook County from economic consequences of COVID-19 and catalyze sustainability of small businesses formed since the onset of COVID-19. Program will provide Recovery Grants to businesses that have experienced hardships resulting from COVID-19 and will prioritize microbusinesses (less than 10 employees), operational pre-COVID-19, owned by historically excluded populations in Suburban Cook operating in industries heavily impacted by COVID. Program will also offer Early-Stage Business Grants to microbusinesses owned by historically excluded populations, that have operated for one to two years in communities hard hit by COVID-19. Early-Stage Grants are for businesses formed since the onset of COVID, and not eligible for prior funds available to businesses impacted by COVID.

The Cook County Small Business Source will provide business recovery and resiliency advising services in tandem with both grant programs.

The Bureau of Economic Development, Women’s Business Development Center and Allies for Community Business will partner to implement a grant program that provides capital paired with business advising to historically excluded businesses - Black-, Latino(a)-, Woman-, Veteran-, Person(s) with a Disability-owned businesses - to close racial wealth and other opportunities gaps. In collaboration with other ARPA-funded County initiatives that target small businesses, the grant program will support businesses with their recovery from the pandemic, scale their operations, and thrive in Cook County. To achieve these objectives, the Bureau of Economic Development will activate a network of approximately 36 Referral Partners to connect businesses to the Cook County Small Business Source advising services and grant programs. In 2022, the Chicago Community Trust’s We Rise Together program will provide $270,000 of philanthropic funding and Cook County will provide up to $270,000 in FY 2022 Corporate Funds (See Item # 22-4542).
