Letter From Mayor Billy McKinney Carta Del Alcalde Billy McKinney
What is a commission form of government?
A city commission is a form of municipal government in which individually elected officials serve on a small governing board, called a commission, that exercises both legislative and executive powers to govern the municipality. The commission contains a specified number of members, often five or seven.
As you are all aware, the City of Zion has five (5) commissioners that are elected on an at-large basis, rather than from wards or districts. In addition, each commissioner must live in, and have legal residence within the City of Zion.
Apart from the legislative role of the commission, each commissioner is administratively responsible for at least one specific aspect or department, such as fire, police, public works, building & zoning or finance. The commissioners over each department work closely with their respective department heads, and serve as a liaison between the department heads and residents whenever information needs to be accurately disseminated about City operations.
If you have questions, need information about a particular department, please don’t hesitate to contact the appropriate commissioner by department. Your respectful suggestions help as we continue to look to improve the services throughout our community.
The Commissioners’ areas of responsibilities are as follows:
• Christopher Fischer as Commissioner of Accounts and Finance/Mayor Pro Tem
• Mike McDowell as Commissioner of Public Health & Safety
• Beverly Stackhouse as Commissioner of Public Works & Engineering
• Richard Frierson as Commissioner of Building, Zoning and Public Property
• Billy McKinney as Commissioner of Public Affairs / Mayor
We look forward to serving our community.
¿Qué es una forma de gobierno por comisión?
Una comisión municipal es una forma de gobierno local en la que funcionarios elegidos individualmente integran una junta directiva pequeña, conocida como comisión, que ejerce tanto funciones legislativas como ejecutivas para gobernar el municipio. La comisión está compuesta por un número determinado de miembros, generalmente cinco o siete.
Como todos saben, la Ciudad de Zion cuenta con cinco (5) comisionados que son elegidos por todos los votantes de la ciudad y no por distritos o sectores específicos. Además, cada comisionado debe vivir y tener residencia legal dentro de la Ciudad de Zion. Además de la función legislativa de la comisión, cada comisionado es responsable de la administración de al menos un área o departamento específico, como bomberos, policía, obras públicas, construcción y zonificación, o finanzas. Los comisionados de cada departamento trabajan de cerca con sus respectivos directores y sirven como enlace entre los departamentos y los residentes cuando es necesario comunicar información sobre las operaciones de la Ciudad de manera precisa.
Si tiene preguntas o necesita información sobre algún departamento en particular, no dude en comunicarse con el comisionado correspondiente. Sus sugerencias respetuosas nos ayudan a continuar mejorando los servicios que ofrecemos en toda nuestra comunidad.
Las áreas de responsabilidad de los comisionados son las siguientes:
• Christopher Fischer, Comisionado de Cuentas y Finanzas / Alcalde Pro Tem
• Mike McDowell, Comisionado de Salud y Seguridad Pública
• Beverly Stackhouse, Comisionada de Obras Públicas e Ingeniería
• Richard Frierson, Comisionado de Construcción, Zonificación y Bienes Públicos
• Billy McKinney, Comisionado de Asuntos Públicos / Alcalde
Seguimos comprometidos a server a nuestra comunidad.

Fire Chief | Jefe de Bomberos Justin Stried
Whether you already have a fire pit or are planning to add one, invest some effort in reviewing fire pit safety. It only takes a second for a cozy fire to burst into a blazing inferno. To keep your friends and family safe this summer, keep the following tips in mind:
• Check wind direction before lighting a fire.
• Don’t use flammable fluids (gasoline, lighter fluid, etc.) to light or relight fires.
• Don’t wear flammable clothing (like nylon) or any loose-fitting clothing.
• Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the fire.
• Avoid using soft woods like pine or cedar, because they can pop and throw sparks.
• Do not use the fire pit to burn yard waste. Open leaf burning is prohibited by City Ordinance.
• Keep a fire extinguisher, garden hose or bucket of water nearby.
Ya sea que ya tenga un lugar para hacer fogata o esté planeando agregar uno, invierta un poco de esfuerzo en revisar la seguridad del pozo de fuego. Solo toma un segundo para que un fuego agradable estalle en un infierno ardiente. Para mantener seguros a sus amigos y familiares este verano, tenga en cuenta los siguientes consejos:
• Verifique la dirección del viento antes de encender una fogata.
• No utilice líquidos inflamables (gasolina, líquido para encendedores, etc.) para encender o volver a encender fuegos.
• No use ropa inflamable (como nailon) ni prendas guangas.
• Mantenga a los niños y las mascotas al menos a tres pies de distancia del fuego.
• Evite el uso de maderas blandas como el pino o el cedro, porque pueden estallar y lanzar chispas.
• No use la fogata para quemar desechos de jardín. La Ordenanza Municipal prohíbe la quema de hojas al aire libre.
• Mantenga cerca un extinguidor de incendios, una manguera de jardín o una cubeta con agua.

The primary goal of Zion’s Building & Zoning department is to ensure that both commercial and residential properties are complying with building and roofing codes, addressing property complaints, property maintenance, and code enforcement. Some home improvement projects do require a building permit. These building permits are simply to protect residents, ensuring that the work being done is done correctly. In addition, it’s important for all homeowners to maintain their property. Our department is more than willing to answer any questions regarding permits and property. If you have any questions, please call us at (847) 746-4018.
El principal objetivo del Departamento de Construcción y Zonificación de la Ciudad de Zion es garantizar que las propiedades comerciales y residenciales cumplan con los códigos de construcción y techado, así como atender quejas relacionadas con las propiedades, supervisar el mantenimiento de las mismas y hacer cumplir los códigos y ordenanzas aplicables.
Algunos proyectos de mejoramiento del hogar requieren un permiso de construcción. Estos permisos de construcción son simplemente para proteger a los residentes, asegurando que el trabajo que se está realizando se haga correctamente. Además, es importante que todos los propietarios mantengan su propiedad. Nuestro departamento está más que dispuesto a responder cualquier pregunta relacionada con permisos y propiedades. Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor llame al (847) 746-4018.

Closing the Loop Improving Recycling in the City of Zion
The Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO) has received a subaward as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Chicago Metro Recycling Education and Outreach (REO) grant. Its goal is to improve recycling participation and decrease contamination in the region.
To help achieve this goal, our team checked and tagged Zion recycling carts to provide real-time feedback and promote proper recycling habits. At the start of our cart tagging initiatives in the fall of 2025, 50% of recycling carts were contaminated with non-recyclable materials. With your help, we reduced contamination to 27% in just one month! Due to the success of this initiative, SWALCO has been conducting a second round of cart tagging throughout April and May. Midway through, results are looking promising, and residents are eager to recycle right! Team members will be continuing to look in and tag recycling carts in select areas of the city. Feel free to talk to team members and ask questions.
Not sure what materials you can recycle? The REO Campaign’s mascot, Loop, is here to help! As a recycling cart, Loop knows that recycling benefits people and the planet by reducing landfill waste, conserving natural resources, saving energy, and more. That means little treats for Loop are BIG wins for the community and our environment!
Find out what you can feed your cart at SWALCO.org/Zion! Learn more about Loop by visiting FeedTheCart.org. Thank you for helping create a more sustainable community!
I love eating recyclables!

Mejorando el Reciclaje en la Ciudad de Zion
La Agencia de Residuos Sólidos del Condado de Lake (SWALCO) adquirió un contrato en parte a la donación por el departmento de la Educación y Difusión del Reciclaje (REO) en la Área Metropolitana de Chicago de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos. Su objetivo es mejorar el reciclaje y reducir la contaminación en la región.
Para ayudar a alcanzar este objetivo, nuestro equipo inspeccionó y etiquetó los contenedores de reciclaje de Zion con el fin de brindar información inmediata y fomentar hábitos de reciclaje adecuados. Al inicio de nuestras iniciativas de etiquetado de contenedores, en el otoño de 2025, el 50% de los contenedores de reciclaje presentaban contaminación con materiales no reciclables. Con su ayuda, ¡logramos reducir la contaminación al 27% en tan solo un mes! Debido al éxito de esta iniciativa, SWALCO ha estado llevando a cabo una segunda ronda de etiquetado de contenedores durante los meses de abril y mayo. A mitad del proceso, los resultados lucen prometedores y los residentes muestran gran entusiasmo por reciclar correctamente. Los miembros del equipo continuarán revisando y etiquetando los contenedores de reciclaje en áreas seleccionadas de la ciudad. No dude en acercarse a los miembros del equipo para conversar y plantear sus preguntas.
¿No está seguro de qué materiales puede reciclar? ¡La mascota de la Campaña REO, Loop, está aquí para ayudarle! Como carrito de reciclaje, Loop sabe que el reciclaje beneficia a las personas y al planeta al reducir los residuos en los basureros, conservar los recursos naturales, ahorrar energía y mucho más. ¡Eso significa que los reciclables de los que se alimenta Loop son GRANDES logros para la comunidad y el medio ambiente!
¡Descubra qué puede darle a su carrito en SWALCO.org/Zion! Obtenga más información sobre Loop visitando FeedTheCart.org. ¡Gracias por ayudarnos a crear una comunidad más sostenible!

“All plastic with chasing arrows is recyclable.”
The chasing arrows we associate with recycling tell us the type of plastic from which an item is made. It does not always mean the item is recyclable. Instead of relying the arrows and numbers, remember the basics: aluminum cans, plastic tubs, jugs, and bottles, glass bottles, paper, and flattened cardboard.

Property Tax Tip for Homebuyers
Summer is a busy season for homebuying, so here is an important property tax reminder for prospective buyers.
Before buying, review the property’s tax history and check which exemptions are in place. Some exemptions may not transfer after the sale.
Ask which exemptions currently apply to the property.
Confirm whether those exemptions will apply to you as the new owner.
For example, exemptions for a senior homeowner may not apply to a new buyer, which could lead to a higher tax bill in the next cycle.
Assessment Notice Reminder
Later this summer, you should receive your annual Assessment Notice (the blue notice). Review it carefully to make sure your property details and exemptions are correct and contact our office if you need to report a correction.
Payment Deadline Reminder
The second half of your property tax bill is due September 6.
Consejo sobre Impuesto a la Propiedad para Compradores de Vivienda
El verano es una temporada activa para la compra de viviendas, por lo que aquí le compartimos un importante recordatorio sobre los impuestos a la propiedad para los posibles compradores. Antes de su compra, revise el historial de impuestos de la propiedad y verifique qué exenciones están vigentes. Es posible que algunas exenciones no se transfieran tras la venta.
Pregunte qué exenciones se aplican actualmente a la propiedad.
Confirme si esas exenciones se aplicarán a usted como nuevo propietario. Por ejemplo, las exenciones para un propietario de edad avanzada podrían no aplicarse a un nuevo comprador, lo que podría resultar en una factura de impuestos más elevada en el próximo ciclo.
Recordatorio del Aviso de Evaluación
Más adelante este verano, recibirá su Aviso Anual de Tasación (el aviso azul). Revíselo cuidadosamente para asegurarse de que los detalles de su propiedad y sus exenciones sean correctos, y comuníquese con nuestra oficina si necesita reportar alguna corrección.
Recordatorio de Fecha Límite de Pago
La segunda mitad de su factura del impuesto sobre la propiedad vence el 6 de septiembre.
Kindest regards / Saludos cordiales, Colette Davis
C.I.A.O.
Please contact our office with any corrections or questions.
Por favor, comuníquese con nuestra oficina si tiene alguna corrección o pregunta.

Summer Work Program
If you see youth in grey t-shirts together in a group, those youth are part of the Zion Township Summer Work Program. In partnership with the Job Center of Lake County, the program kicked off on June 15th and runs through July 31st. Youth will be involved in a number of community projects, along with working with the Zion Park District on various assignments to maintain our community clean. Senior homeowners can call Zion Township at 847-872-2811 if they are in need of basic lawn work.
Si ve a jóvenes con camisetas grises juntos en un grupo, esos jóvenes forman parte del Programa de Trabajo de Verano del Zion Township. En colaboración con el Centro de Empleo del Condado de Lake, el programa comenzó el 15 de junio y terminará el 31 de julio. Los jóvenes participarán en diversos proyectos comunitarios, además de trabajar con el Distrito de Parques de Zion en distintas tareas para mantener nuestra comunidad limpia. Los propietarios de viviendas de la tercera edad pueden llamar al Zion Township al 847-872-2811 si necesitan trabajos básicos de jardinería.

SUMMER
READING: STAYING READY FOR SUCCESS
All students entering grades 9–12 at Zion-Benton Township High School and 9 graders at ZionBenton East have received a summer reading book to help them stay engaged and ready for the new school year. Reading during the summer helps students strengthen their reading skills, build vocabulary, and stay connected to learning. Incoming freshmen received their books before leaving 8th grade, helping them begin their high school journey prepared for success. We encourage students to make time for reading this summer and come back in August ready to learn, grow, and achieve. Happy reading, ZeeBees!
LECTURA DE VERANO: PREPARÁNDOSE PARA EL ÉXITO
Todos los estudiantes que ingresarán a los grados 9–12 en Zion-Benton Township High School y los estudiantes de 9.º grado en Zion-Benton East han recibido un libro de lectura de verano para ayudarles a mantenerse comprometidos con el aprendizaje y a prepararse para el nuevo año escolar. Leer durante el verano ayuda a los estudiantes a fortalecer sus habilidades de lectura, ampliar su vocabulario y mantenerse conectados con el aprendizaje. Los estudiantes que ingresarán al noveno grado recibieron sus libros antes de finalizar el octavo grado, lo que les ayuda a comenzar su trayectoria en la escuela secundaria preparados para el éxito. Animamos a los estudiantes a dedicar tiempo a la lectura este verano y regresar en agosto listos para aprender, crecer y alcanzar sus metas.¡Feliz lectura, ZeeBees!

Dear Neighbors,
I’m honored to serve as your Illinois State Representative! I love our community, and I’m grateful for the trust you’ve put in me to represent you in Springfield and provide assistance with state services here in the 61st District.
Here are some of the things that I and my district constituent services office do. Please contact us if we can be of assistance!
I welcome your ideas about new laws or changes to existing laws! I also welcome your feedback and questions about, any pending legislation in Illinois. Each year, Illinois legislators vote on an annual budget. If you have thoughts on Illinois’ budget priorities, please let me know. I track feedback from everyone who writes, calls or emails about bills or the budget and I take it all into consideration when voting.
If you are having an issue with a state agency, my office can assist you with seeking a resolution. Common examples include IDES (Unemployment), The Secretary of State (Driver services), the Treasurer (iCash, College Savings, ABLE), the Illinois Department of Revenue (state income taxes), IDFPR (Professional licensing), IDHS (Human Services assistance programs), and IDOT (Dept of Transportation).
Each year I host a variety of events including free shredding, iCash and IPass, college planning, property tax appeal, “Read With Your Rep” for kids, legislative updates and advisory council meetings, and much more. We also host regular neighborhood office hours, bringing our team to your town! Check out our website or sign up for updates so you don’t miss a thing!
We have FREE passes to many popular museums and zoos! Also, if you know someone who is celebrating a big birthday, anniversary, retirement or achievement, I’d love to help them celebrate with a certificate of recognition. I would also be honored to provide a memorial certificate to remember your loved one.
NEW OFFICE ADDRESS!
