County Board Chairman Jack Franks receives Civility Award from Bar Association The Northwest Suburban Bar Association presented McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks with its President’s Award for Civility.

Franks, D-Marengo, received the award at a June 14 ceremony for his long record in both the Illinois House of Representatives and the County Board of working across party lines to find common ground in a respectful and civil manner.

“I am humbled and honored to win this prestigious award, and it means so much in an era in which both major parties seem to be farther apart than ever before. It’s unfortunate that politics has become a blood sport, but it doesn’t have to be. In Springfield, I was in the majority party and worked with minority Republicans to get good things done. In Woodstock, I’m in the minority party and have reached across the aisle with Republicans to enact property tax relief, greater transparency and other measures that have made taxpayers’ lives better,” Franks said.

Award criteria include respect, integrity, engagement, inclusiveness, objectivity and common ground.

Besides civility in politics, award presenters highlighted Franks’ willingness to call out members of his own party when they do wrong, such as being the first prominent Democratic politician to openly criticize former governor Rod Blagojevich, who is currently serving a corruption sentence in federal prison.

“I look at the award not as a pat on the back, but as a call to arms. When

I was sworn in as chairman, I told the County Board and county employees that I wanted us to be the most efficient, most transparent and most professional county government Jack Franks in the nation. I want us to be an example to follow.

We can be a shining beacon of what can get done when two sides respect one another’s differences and work in tandem to make the will of the people the law of the land. I want to thank the voters who have chosen to put their trust in me, and to the Republicans on the County Board who have chosen to put labels aside and work with me,” Franks said.

The NWSBA is a local, voluntary bar association serving Chicago’s northwest suburbs. Its 650 members are dedicated to improving the quality of life in their communities through education, philanthropy, and by inspiring excellence in the practice of law.

Franks, a third generation Marengo resident, is partner in the law firm of Franks Gerkin McKenna, which was started by his father, Herb. He received his law degree from the American University Washington College of Law. Franks and his wife, Debby, have two grown sons.

Originally constructed as the Spring Grove State Bank in the early 1920s, this building still stands at 1927 Main Street. It was modeled after the West McHenry State Bank. Due to the Depression, the bank was forced into receivership in 1931. It was sold to the Clark family in 1938 for $890. From 1948 to 1951 it was the home of the DeGroft Manufacturing Company. A sandwich shop opened at this location in 1957. The post office made the building its home in the 1960s and remained until 1991. In 1993 the building was purchased and restored by the Neil Anderson family and became a law office.

Detectives arrested the 17-year-old juvenile on multiple counts of Criminal Defacement of Property.

House fire in Hampshire

Huntley Firefighters responded to Hampshire last weekend to assist with a two-alarm fire. Gift card donations for food, clothing or other essential items are being accepted at the fire station 202 Washington Ave. in Hampshire. Thank you!

Algonquin named Tree City USA for 22nd year The Arbor Day Foundation announced that the Village of Algonquin is again named a Tree City USA community for its commitment to effective forest management. This is the 22nd year in which Algonquin has received this designation.

The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.

“There is no greater legacy that we can leave our children than the beauty and benefits of trees. My friends call me a tree hugger and I gladly accept that honor,” said Vil-

lage President John Schmitt. “Each year for over 20 years, Algonquin has received the Tree City USA award and I am immensely proud.

Our arborists take pride in our urban forests and our residents enjoy the benefits.”

Algonquin has met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community. Tree City USA communities must have a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a community forestry program with annual expenditures of at least $2.00 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

“From the environmental benefits

of cleaning our air, providing oxygen, and helping to control and filter ground water, to the mental health benefits of quicker healing and lowering crime rates, to the simple fact of increasing our property values, Algonquin is proud to continue its commitment to a quality urban forestry program,” said Village Arborist Steve Ludwig.

More information about Tree City USA can be found at www.arborday.org/TreeCityUSA. Further information about the Village of Algonquin’s urban forestry program is available online at www.algonquin. org/publicworks.

McHenry County News / July 5, 2018 - Page 5

County Board Chairman Jack Franks, D-Marengo, said the following about the June 6 meeting between county staff and representatives from several county school districts to discuss lowering their tax levies: “County staff and I met with representatives from 10 local school districts to talk about how they can follow our example and reduce their property tax levies by at least 10 percent. Our two-hour meeting was frank and candid, and we learned a lot about the challenges that McHenry County school districts face.

However, the challenges that our overtaxed homeowners face are just as important, if not more so. While school administrators hear from parents who are passionate about their children’s education, we hear from frustrated homeowners who can no longer afford to live in their homes because of their property tax bills, of which public schools by far make up the largest percentage. School districts typically only make major cuts when they are in crisis and their financial backs are against the wall, but I submit that McHenry County taxpayers are the ones in crisis.

We were encouraged that many of the districts at the meeting have already explored or currently participate in cost sharing programs with one another, from sharing vendors and transportation to two districts sharing a superintendent. But, as voters last March declared by a three-toone margin in an advisory referendum regarding their school taxes, more has to be done. The property-tax burden in McHenry County has become unsustainable – it is forcing out people on fixed incomes, it is deterring young people from settling down here

to start families and businesses, and it is deterring employers from creating jobs here.

The superintendents, school board presidents and other administrative staff who attended the meeting assured us that they are aware of this.

We urge them, and other districts, to explore every avenue they can to explore new opportunities for cost savings and levy reduction, such as diligently scrutinizing fund balance surpluses, further exploring shared services, and examining reducing the size of their administrative staffs. We also urge school districts with facilities that are significantly under-utilized because of enrollment decreases to explore or revisit closing them, or to share them with other school districts.

Rather than holding a subsequent meeting with these and other school districts, we have decided that the best way that the county can help districts find cost savings would be for county staff to meet with individually with their superintendents, school boards and chief financial officers. While we as a county government have no authority over school districts, we encourage them to meet with us oneon-one.

We would like to thank Nippersink District 2, Johnsburg Community Unit School District 12, Cary Community Consolidated School District 26, Crystal Lake Community Consolidated School District 47, Community High School District 155, McHenry High School District 156, RichmondBurton Community High School District 157, Huntley Community School District 158, Marengo-Union Elementary District 165, and Woodstock District 200 for attending.”

Mosquitoes test positive for West Nile virus McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) reports that a mosquito batch collected on June 18 from a mosquito trap in Woodstock tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV).

This is the first positive test for WNV collected by the Health Department in 2018. No human cases have been reported in McHenry County.

MCDH will continue to collect and test mosquito batches throughout the remainder of the season (midOctober) and will accept a limited number of dead birds for testing. It is important to remember that the risk of WNV remains until the first hard frost. Residents should continue to use insect repellent when going out of doors in the evening and wear long sleeved shirts and long pants for extra protection. Other tips include emptying standing water from containers

around the house and making sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens.

Illness from West Nile virus is usually mild and includes fever, headache and body aches but serious illnesses, such as encephalitis and meningitis and death, are possible. Persons 50 and older have the highest risk of severe disease.

The Health Department reminds residents that due to the recent flooding and rain there will continue to be large numbers of floodwater or nuisance mosquitoes. Although floodwater mosquitoes can be very aggressive, daytime biters, they are not significant vectors for human disease such as West Nile Virus in Illinois.

For more information on WNV, visit www.mcdh.info (Environmental Health) or call 815-334-4585.
