You are the reason why!

Thank you to everyone who attended the April 12 Community meeting. At each meeting, the Leaders recap a little—to follow-up on previous suggestions, and to focus on community needs past and present, so we can prepare for the future.

At the April 12 Community Focus, Cheri Neal, Zion Township Supervisor, encouraged everyone to participate in the Zion Health Assessment Project. In order for Zion residents to reach their full potential, we need to start with healthy bodies and healthy minds. Cheri also encouraged everyone to visit the new mural 2780 Sheridan Road, and to celebrate the community gardens.

Health Assessments, murals and gardens show that we work hard to build community. We also care very much about our young people. School District 6 interim Superintendents Dr. George Zimmer and Dr. Lynette Zimmer shared the school infrastructure needs—Lakeview and Elmwood schools are 87 years old, and need a lot of repair. The average age of the District 6 schools is around 70 years.

Zion6 budgets to balance the needs of the facilities with the needs of the taxpayers. Both Zion6 and ZB126 have carefully abated taxes over the years. And yet, property taxes are a concern. The budgets to cover services from the Library, Township, City and the Park District are frugal and creative, but the needs are many.

The Illinois Legislature recently passed a bill specifically to help the Zion taxing bodies fill the gap left when the nuclear power plant was decommissioned. The Bill requires that the residents give direct input on how these funds should be allocated. The small group focus of the April 12 session helped start that input process. Some suggestions:

• Add more local programming for young adults (we have a lot for kids and seniors, but not young adults 18-25 or so)

• Add more programs for mental health and social-emotional learning

• Add more programming about how to recognize differences without being divisive

• Add more programming for the kids, both curricular and co-curricular

• Updated schools, police station, fire station for safety as well as for welcome

We meet again in October!

In the meantime, all your Leaders want to hear from you!

Call, email, drop by, or like us on FaceBook!

Save the date for the next dialogue event: October 25th at ZBTHS 6PM - 8PM

!Usted es la razón!

Gracias a todos los que atendieron a la junta Comunitaria el 12 de abril. En cada junta, los Lideres hacen un resumen, dan seguimiento a sugerencias anteriores, y se enfocan en necesidades pasadas y presentes de la comunidad, para poder prepararnos para el futuro.

En el Enfoque Comunitario del 12 de abril, La Supervisora del Zion Township Cheri Neal, animó a todos a que participen en el proyecto de Evaluación de Salud General de Zion. De manera que los residentes de Zion alcancen su máxima potencial, debemos identificar lo que nos esta deteniendo de estar bien en varias áreas. ¡Cheri también animó a todos a que visiten el nuevo mural en 2780 Sheridan Rd., y que planten Zinnias y ayudar a hacer de Zion la Capital de Zinnias! Evaluaciones de Salud Comunitaria, murales y jardines son pasos pequeños para construir comunidad.

También nos importa mucho nuestros jóvenes. En la junta, Superintendentes interinos del Distrito de Escuela 6, Dr. George Zimmer y Dra. Lynette Zimmer, compartieron las desesperantes necesidades de la infraestructura escolar. Cada escuela necesita muchas reparaciones, con la edad de las escuelas del Distrito 6 en un promedio de 70 años, ¡y algunas casi de 90 años!

El Distrito 6 de Zion trata de presupuestar para balancear las necesidades de las instalaciones con las necesidades de los contribuyentes. Tanto el Distrito 6 de Zion como el Distrito 126 de Zion-Benton han reducido los impuestos cuidadosamente a través de los años, y aun, los impuestos de propiedad son de gran preocupación. Los presupuestos para cubrir los gastos de la Biblioteca, del Township, de la Ciudad y del Distrito de Parques son frugales y creativos, pero las necesidades so muchas.

La Legislatura de Illinois recientemente paso una ley específicamente para ayudar a las entidades fiscales de Zion a llenar el vacío financiero que quedo cuando la planta de energía nuclear fue desmantelada. La ley requiere que los residentes den opiniones directas en como estos fondos deberían de ser asignados. El enfoque del grupo pequeño de la sesión del 12 de abril, ayudó a iniciar ese proceso directo. Algunas sugerencias:

Añadir mas programación local para jóvenes adultos (tenemos mucho para niños y personas de edad avanzada, pero no para adultos jóvenes de edades 18-25 mas o menos)

• Añadir mas programas para la salud mental y aprendizaje socioemocional

• Añadir mas programación sobre como reconocer diferencias sin ser divisivos

• Añadir mas programación para niños, tanto curricular como extracurricular

• Actualizar las escuelas, la estación de policía, la estación de bomberos para seguridad y para dar bienvenida

• ¡Y claro, BAJAR los impuestos!

¡Nos volveremos a juntar en octubre! Por lo tanto, ¡todos los Lideres quieren oír de usted! ¡Llame, mande un correo electrónico, visítenos, denos un “like” en Facebook!

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.

As of May 16, 2023, 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

• Jacqueline Holmes 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.

Que es una forma de gobierno comisionado

Una comisión de la ciudad es una forma de gobierno municipal en cual funcionarios elegidos individualmente forman parte de una pequeña junta de gobierno, llamada comisión, que ejercita poderes legislativos y ejecutivos para gobernar el municipio. La comisión contiene un numero especifico de miembros, la mayoría de las veces cinco o siete.

Como ustedes saben, la Ciudad de Zion tiene cinco (5) comisionarios que son elegidos en general, en lugar de barrios o distritos. Además, cada comisionario debe vivir en, y tener residencia legal dentro de la Ciudad de Zion.

Aparte de la función legislativa de la comisión, cada comisionado es administrativamente responsable de al menos un aspecto o departamento especifico, como bomberos, policía, obras publicas, construcción y zonificación o finanzas. Los comisionarios sobre cada departamento trabajan muy cerca con sus respectivos jefes de departamento, y sirven como un enlace entre los jefes de departamento y los residentes cuando información debe ser difundida con precisión sobre las operaciones de la Ciudad.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, necesita información sobre un departamento particular, por favor no se detenga en contactar al comisionado apropiado por departamento. Sus respetuosas sugerencias ayudan en lo que continuamos buscando como mejorar los servicios por toda nuestra comunidad.

A partir del 16 de mayo del 2023, las áreas de responsabilidad de los Comisionados son las siguientes:

• Christopher Fischer como Comisionado de Cuentas y Finanzas/Alcalde Pro Tempore

• Mike McDowell como Comisionado del Salud y Seguridad Publica

• Jacqueline Holmes como Comisionada de Obras Publicas e Ingeniería

• Richard Frierson como Comisionado de Construcción, Zonificación y Propiedad Publica

• Billy McKinney como Comisionado de Asuntos Públicos/Alcalde Esperamos poder server a nuestra comunidad.

Beginning September 5th, 2023, we are moving to curbside-only collection with automated trucks and every-otherweek recycling. These trucks use automatic lifting arms to empty carts, making collection more efficient, cleaner and safer for your community and our drivers. Please note that your collection day will not change. Your carts and all material must be placed at the curb on your collection day. Everything must fit inside the cart with the lid firmly closed – bags or material outside the cart will not be collected. Resident-owned containers cannot be serviced. Please stay on alert for information that will be issued in coming months in advance of the transition. Thank you. Comenzando el 5 de septiembre del 2023, se cambiara la manera de recoger la basura. Se recogerá solamente en la banqueta al frente de la casa con camiones automáticos y los contenedores de reciclo serán cada 2 semanas. Estos camiones usan brazos automáticos que se levantan para vaciar los contenedores, haciendo que la colección sea mas eficiente, limpia y mas segura para su comunidad y nuestros choferes. Por favor tome nota que su día de recoger la basura no cambiara. Sus contenedores y todo material deben ser colocados en la banqueta en su día de colección. Todo debe caber en el contenedor con la tapadera cerrada firmemente - no se recogerán bolsas extras o material colocados afuera del contenedor. Contenedores que son propiedad personal de los residentes no serán colectados. Por favor manténgase en alerta para información que será publicada en los próximos meses antes de la transición. Gracias.

BUILDING & ZONING | CONSTRUCCION Y ZONIFICACION

Building Department Director | Director del Departamento de Construccion

Richard

Ianson

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. La meta principal del Departamento de Construcción y Zonificación de Zion es asegurarse que las propiedades comerciales y residenciales cumplan con los códigos de construcción y de techado, atendiendo a quejas de propiedad, mantenimiento de propiedad y cumplimiento de códigos.

Algunos proyectos de mejoramiento de hogar si requieren un permiso de construcción. Estos permisos son simplemente para proteger a los residentes, asegurando que el trabajo se haga correctamente. Además, es importante que todos los dueños de hogar mantengan su propiedad. Nuestro departamento esta mas que dispuesto a contestar cualquier pregunta sobre permisos y propiedad. Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor llámenos al (847) 746-4018.

MEET OUR FIRE CHIEF | CONOZCA A NUESTRO JEFE DE BOMBEROS

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 acogedor 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 un balde de agua.

Welcome to the 3rd quarter of the year! If you recently purchased property in Zion Township, we welcome you. The real estate market has slowed down and interest rates have increased. Nevertheless, we are growing and thriving more with new businesses and residents. I’m excited for the future of our city.

As you all know, the Assessor’s office determines the value of your home. We first review all property in your neighborhoods, use cost, income, and market approaches in compliance with the State of Illinois Department of Revenue statues to value it. An assessed value is a fractional amount of the market value of your property which is calculated at 33.33% of the market value. An example is as follows: (Market value * .3333 = Assessed value).

This is our Quadrennial year. That means we are hitting the reset button on reductions granted and revaluing all parcels, among other things. We will hold an informational meeting at Zion City Hall on June 27th beginning at 6:00pm to explain what this means for you. We hope you will join us!

Lastly, a friendly reminder that your Assessment notice (blue card) will be arriving soon. Please make sure to review it for accuracy and contact our office with any corrections or questions.

Kindest regards,

Colette Davis C.I.A.O.

Una carta de su Asesor de Zion, Colette Davis

Saludos,

¡Bienvenidos al tercer cuarto del año! Si recientemente a comprado una propiedad en el Municipio de Zion, le damos la bienvenida. El mercado de bienes raíces ha bajado y las tasas de interés han aumentado. Sin embargo, estamos creciendo y prosperando más con nuevos negocios y residentes. Estoy emocionada por el futuro de nuestra ciudad.

Como ustedes ya saben, la oficina del Asesor determina el valor de su hogar. Primero revisamos todas las propiedades en sus barrios, usamos enfoques de costo, ingreso, y mercado de acuerdo con el Departamento de Ingresos del Estado de Illinois para valuarlas. Un valor tasado es una fracción de la cantidad del valor del mercado de su propiedad la cual se calcula al 33.33% del valor del mercado. Un ejemplo es el siguiente: Valor del mercado *.3333 = valor tasado).

Este es nuestro año Cuadrienal. Eso significa que estamos presionando el botón de reinicio en las reducciones otorgadas y reevaluando todas parcelas, entre otras cosas. Tendremos una junta informativa en el Zion City Hall el 27 de junio comenzando a las 6:00pm para explicar lo que esto significa para usted. ¡Esperamos que nos pueda acompañar!

Por ultimo, un recordatorio amistoso de que su aviso de Evaluación (tarjeta azul) le llegara pronto.

Saludos cordiales,

Colette Davis

Dear Zion neighbors,

State Representative Joyce Mason

Proudly serving the 61st District

This legislative session ended on May 27th, and I ’m glad to be back in the district full time until we return to Springfield in October! I ’m really proud of the work we did this year. As the new Chairperson of the Childcare and Early Childhood Education Committee, I helped pass “Smart Start,” a historic investment in early childhood education. I also passed legislation to cap the cost of epinephrine auto injectors, ensure that kids in special education districts have lifesaving oxygen available when they need it, and schools have updated resources on opioid abuse prevention and harm reduction. Our balanced state budget has some wonderful things for our district—including funding for upgrades to Zion Park District facilities, Illinois Beach State Park, Winthrop Harbor facilities and parks, Benton Township roads, and Beach Park facilities. It also includes a million dollar investment in a violence prevention program for Zion and Beach Park to make our community safer. Look for more details about all of these things and more soon, as well as more details on the upcoming Zion Energy Transition Grants that will put almost $15 million dollars into the Zion Community each year. I look forward to connecting with you this summer! As always, please reach out with any questions or suggestions. It ’s an honor to represent you!
