A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CONTINUED PARTICIPATION
IN THE NORTHWEST MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, the Northwest Municipal Conference is a corporate
organization representative of municipalities and townships chartered
within the State of Illinois and the County of Cook; and
WHEREAS, Article VII, Section 10, of the Constitution of the State
of Illinois, Chapter 127, paragraphs 741 through 748, of the Illinois
Revised Statutes, authorize and encourage intergovernmental association
and cooperation; and
WHEREAS, the public officials of the Northwest Municipal Conference
represent 38 local government bodies and a population in excess of 975,000
Illinois residents; and
WHEREAS, the finding environmentally safe and cost effective methods
of disposing of millions of tons of municipal solid waste a year is one of
the most perplexing and critical problems facing local officials in
Northeastern Illinois and this problem is particularly acute in north and
northwestern Cook County; and
WHEREAS, new disposal facilities must be developed as inaction will
almost assuredly mean continued steep cost increases and service
disruptions; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Elk Grove Village recognizes that a
cooperative effort of multiple jurisdictions can address the critical solid
waste disposal problem in the most comprehensive, environmentally safe and
cost effective manner; and
WHEREAS, the Conference has developed a comprehensive Solid Waste
Management Plan and the Village of Elk Grove Village has actively
participated in the development and implementation of that plan since at
least 1982; and
WHEREAS, a critical component of that plan is the development of a
state of the art sanitary balefill and the Conference has secured
preliminary zoning approval from the Cook County Board of Commissioners to
develop that balefill in unincorporated Hanover Township; and
WHEREAS, engineering and legal work must begin immediately to ensure
state and federal permitting of the balefill as required for final zoning
approval within the time frame established by the Cook County Board in
approving the balefill.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village of Elk Grove Village
intends to continue to participate in the Northwest Municipal Conference
Solid Waste Management Plan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village of Elk Grove Village
obligates itself to a per capita share of $700,000.00 to fund
implementation of the Solid Waste Management Plan prior to the formation
and financing of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County, provided
that the Village of Elk Grove Village per capita share shall not exceed one
dollar ($1.00) per capita.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a certified copy of this Resolution be
sent to the Northwest Municipal Conference.
