Lockerby, Village Manager /-^ FROM: ^ Alex Franz, Assistant to the Village Manager DATE: April 30, 2024 SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment ofSWANCC's Founding Agreement and By-Laws The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) is an intergovernmental agency that was established in 1988 to facilitate the delivery of effective, competitive and environmentally sound municipal waste operations. The Agency is governed by a Board of Directors which consists of a Director and one or more Alternate Directors from each member community. The Village ofSkokie is one of23-member communities with Mayor Van Dusen serving as Director and John Lockerby serving as Alternate Director. Mayor Van Dusen also serves as Chair of the Board of Directors. It should also be noted that Skokie was a founding member. At its January 24, 2024 meeting, the SWANCC Executive Committee recommended amending its founding agreement and by-laws to allow the appointment of a staff person to serve as an Alternate Director on SWANCC's Board of Directors. Currently, appointees must be either the Mayor or President; another elected member of the corporate authorities; or the chief administrative officer (i.e. Village Manager). This amendment will allow staff below the level of chief administrative officer most familiar with waste management matters to serve as Alternate Director. For this change to occur, all 23-member communities must adopt an ordinance approving the amendment. I respectfully request the Board authorize Corporation Counsel to draft the ordinance approving the amendment to the SWANCC bylaws. #619158  Return to Mgr Rpt E MEMORANDUM Purchasing Division Engineering Division Public Works Department TO: John T.
