The Village’s total entitlement (amount for this year) was $665,560 . Presently, the Village has
completed Quarter 1 (May-July) and Quarter 2 (August-October) of the Program Year.
Next Steps
The Village was invited to join the Cook County Consortium. This is a group of communities
that collaborate toward meeting federal program guidelines and offer support with program
administration. To join the Consortium, the Village’s CDBG Program Year would align with the
Cook County Consortium’s timeline, which runs from October to September annually. Staff has
confirmed that changing the CDBG Program Year dates will have no burden or impact on the
Village’s actual fiscal timeline.
Staff is supportive of the consideration of this request and anticipates upon further review,
bringing a recommendation for the Village to join the Consortium to a future Village Board
meeting. The Village’s current CDBG program year (typically ending April 30) will be extended
5 months to adjust to the updated program year moving forward and an amendment to the 2024
Action Plan would be made to request for more funds to budget for the interim months.
Concurrent to next year’s annual CDBG allocation, the Village is scheduled to update its 5-Year
Consolidated Plan. This plan is a comprehensive five-year planning document that identifies the
overall housing and community development needs of the Village, outlines available programs
and resources, and establishes a strategy for prioritizing and addressing these needs.
Based on the likely participation in the Consortium, there will be new dates for the revised 2025
CDBG Program Year (Amendment to 1-Year action plan to extend, 2025 Funding allocations,
Action Plan Approval, and consolidated plan drafting).

SUBJECT; MANAGER'S REPORT
BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18,2024
* A. Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard IVIitiqation Plan - 2024 Skokie
Annex Adoption.
The Village of Skokie along with 124 other jurisdictions recently participated in the
2024 Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (CCMJHMP)
update. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) guidelines require this
plan to be updated every five years by resolution, and the Cook County Plan was
last updated in 2019. The plan provides for local involvement with an opportunity
to identify potential hazards in our community (through the Skokie Annex) to be a
part of an overall mitigation strategy. The identification and profiling of hazards to
be mitigated in this program focus on "natural hazards" including earthquakes,
floods, severe winter weather, storms and tornadoes. Adoption of the CCMJHMP
allows participants to be eligible for grant funds through the Pre-Disaster
Mitigation Program and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
I concur with staff's recommendation for the approval and adoption of the 2024
Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and respectfully request
Mayor and Board approval.
* B. BS&A ERP Software IVIaintenance Contract Renewal - BS&A_Systems,
BathJVUchigan - $75,462,
In FY2017, the Village of Skokie contracted with BS&A Systems for the licensing
and use of their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. The
Village utilizes this software across the organization. An integral component to the
successful operation of the BS&A software is the support and maintenance
agreement, which provides for support and help desk services, as well as free
upgrades and fixes of any of the modules owned by the Village. I concur with
staff's recommendation to enter into a contract with BS&A Systems in the amount
of $75,462 to continue the support and maintenance of the ERP software. Mayor
and Board approval is respectfully requested.
* C. Fire Department Rescue/Extrication Eauipment Purchase - Equipment
Management Company (EMC) — Channahon, Illinois - $58.990.
The FY2025 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes Rescue/Extrication
Equipment funding to upgrade extrication equipment for Squad 18. Genesis
Rescue Systems rescue and extrication equipment is used to free occupants from
#623100
Return to Agenda
vehicles that are involved in serious motor vehicle accidents, individuals that
become entrapped in machines, heavy equipment, trapped by large objects or
debris and cannot be lifted and/or moved through conventional means. The
Genesis Rescue Systems equipment utilizes a trusted and proven Milwaukee
Battery technology platform that allows the equipment to operate independent of a
fuel driven hydraulic power unit. Also, with the use of battery powered extrication
tools, the hydraulic power unit was able to be eliminated from the specifications for
Squad 18 that is currently on order saving $76,000 In costs. !t is recommended to
enter into a contract for the purchase of rescue and extrication equipment and
associated hardware/equipment be awarded to Equipment Management
Company, the soie source Genesis Rescue Systems dealer for Skokie in the
amount of $58,990. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfuiiy request
Mayor and Board approval.
D. Emergency Front End Leader Buckets Purchase ~ McCann Industries, Inc.,
Addison, lltinois - $35.000,
The Public Works Street and Alleys Division uses front end leaders on a daily
basis for leaf collection, stump removal, alley grading, asphalt repairs, snow and
ice operations and many other critica! tasks. While one of the buckets has
experienced significant wear and tear, another was recently damaged beyond
repair during the course of operations. This leaves the Street and Alleys Division
critically short on equipment and hampers operations during this leaf and collection
season and looming snow and ice season. As such, Village staff enacted the
Emergency Purchases Provision for the purchase of two 2.5YD Multipurpose
Buckets in the amount of $35,000. Funding for this expenditure wili be provided by
the Fleet Equipment Replacement CIP ($17,500), Risk Management Insurance
Fund ($17,500) and includes a $4.000 discount from McCann Industries. Per
Section 2-1018 of the Skokie Village Code, the Village Board is advised of this
emergency procurement.

Jurisdiction Profile
The following is a summary of key information about the jurisdiction and its history:
Date of Incorporation: Incorporated as Niles Center in 1888
Current Population: The 2020 U.S. Census population was 67,824. The 2022 U.S. Census estimate
indicated the population was 65,497.
Population Growth: The overall population has increased by 3.50% between 2018 and 2022.
Location and Description: The Village of Skokie is located 16 miles northwest of downtown Chicago
and 12 miles east of O’Hare International Airport. Skokie is a largely populated Village with 65,000
residents, 24,000 households and 1,925 businesses that call Skokie their home. The Village of Skokie
covers 10.06 square miles of land and is bordered by the Villages of Glenview and Wilmette on the
north, the Village of Lincolnwood and the City of Chicago on the south (West Rogers Park and
Edgebrook neighborhoods), the Villages of Morton Grove and Niles on the west and the City of
Evanston on the east. Accessibility to transportation is a key advantage in Skokie, with the Edens
Expressway (I-94) spanning the community’s western edge, seven Chicago Transit Authority and 10
Pace suburban bus lines, and the CTA’s Skokie Swift rail line offering numerous options for public
transportation.
Brief History: Known as Niles Center for 52 years, Skokie was incorporated in 1888 as a thriving
community with many homes, places of worship, schools and shops. In the early 1900s, the village
was known for its vegetable farms, greenhouses and saloons. Population increases were modest
during the early 1900s. Land annexations nearly increased the village to its present 10.06 square
miles. By 1920, subdivisions spurred by construction of the Chicago and North Shore Railway
(electric) to Waukegan (presently Skokie Swift connection) and construction of the Chicago and
North Western Railway tracks further expanded the village population. By the 1950s, Skokie hosted
three interchanges of the Eden’s Expressway, Chicagoland’s first Expressway, with the village’s
population skyrocketing to 59,364 by 1960. The village became an attractive new home for
1

VOLUME 2: MJ-HMP JURISDICTIONAL ANNEXES
companies leaving nearby Chicago. Careful city planning has led to productive growth of the Village.
Today, the Village of Skokie is a community represented by an urban/suburban lifestyle.
Climate: Annual temperatures in Skokie are currently 49.41°F annually and have been warming in
Illinois between 1980-2010 by approximately 1.13° F. Temperature increases have been more sharply
felt in the winter season (currently 25.5°F) with an increase of 2.27°F. From 1980 through 2018,
besides the increase in annual average temperature, Skokie has experienced an increase in the
number of days above 95 degrees (2 days), an increase in the number of heavy rain events (34%), and
a decrease in the number of days below 32 degrees (-9 days). This creates less spring snow cover
and earlier thaw dates resulting in more rapidly warming soil. The cumulative effects is a shift of
USDA Hardiness zones from zones 5 to Zone 6. Some of the most significant changes in the climate
relate to variability. Climate variability can be seen in the changes in annual precipitation for Skokie.
Overall annual precipitation has increased; however, this increase is not evenly distributed
throughout the year. Fall and Winter precipitation have increased up to 15.5%, while Spring and
Summer precipitation have remained nearly unchanged.
Governing Body Format: The Village of Skokie is a home-rule community under the 1970 Illinois
Constitution. Skokie’s Council-Manager form of government was inaugurated in 1957, when
residents overwhelmingly voted to adopt the Council-Manager form. The Village Manager functions
as the Chief Administrative Officer of the Village. It is the Manager’s responsibility to enforce all
Village ordinances, recommend policy alternatives to the Board and prepare an annual budget. This
body of Government will assume the responsibility for the adoption and implementation of this plan.
The Village Manager directs and coordinates the activities of all Village Departments except the
Corporation Counsel Department which, like advisory commissions, reports directly to the Mayor
and Board of Trustees. There are seven positions on the Board of Trustees, including the Mayor and
six Trustees. A Village Clerk is also elected. Each elected official serves a four-year term. There are
87 voting precincts in Skokie all elected positions are elected at-large. Skokie operates 12 village
departments including: Community Development, Corporation Counsel, Economic Development,
Finance Department, Fire Department, Health Department, Human Services, Personnel, Police
Department, Public Works Department, Purchasing, and the Village Manager’s Office.
Development Trends: Building activity has remained strong in Skokie in both new developments and
investment in existing structures. During COVID, the Village saw stable permit activity for
homeowners investing in their homes. Additionally, investments in commercial centers like Old
Orchard and the development to new mixed-use developments such as The Boulevard on Skokie
Blvd and The Highpoint at 8000 North. Existing industrial buildings continue to be in high demand for
use by small companies and are being purchased and modernized. Institutional uses, such as the
hospital and schools, are remodeling and expanding. The Village of Skokie adopted its
comprehensive plan in March of 2007, but has continued to make updates since that time. Recent
additions include an environment chapter and a forthcoming updated chapter on housing. The plan
still divides the Village into neighborhoods with specific redevelopment plans. The Village continues
to place strong emphasis on the redevelopment of the Downtown with the development of a mixed-
use hotel located on Oakton Street next to the Illinois Science & Technology Park. Once finalized, it
will bring over 100,000 visitors to Skokie annually. Skokie currently is in the process of updating a
corridor plan for Main Street to assist in the updating of this commercial corridor and return vibrancy
to this neighborhood.

Return to top of Plan
VOLUME 2: MJ-HMP JURISDICTIONAL ANNEXES
Changes in Community Priorities: The Village completed its 2022 Environmental Sustainability
Plan (ESP), which guides community sustainability efforts through 2030. The ESP builds on the
Village's 2017 plan and establishes a more aggressive strategy for reducing carbon emissions while
implementing action items that mitigate the impact of climate change. The plan calls special
attention to strategies that will support vulnerable populations.
The Village of Skokie's Environmental Sustainability Plan (2022) contains strategies and action items
that specifically address community resilience in response to severe weather, including: Extreme
heat and cold, flooding, emergency preparedness, public information, power/infrastructure failure
impacts, and emergency management. Skokie's Climate Vulnerability Assessment pointed out that
the projected changes to the community's climate in the coming decades represent potential risks
to residents. These risks are inequitably felt and are particularly acute in populations especially
vulnerable to them such as children, seniors, and those with disabilities. Some populations,
including aging adults, children, persons with disabilities, economically stressed, non-English
speakers, homeless persons, and workers employed in climate-exposed jobs are particularly
vulnerable to extreme weather, natural disasters, and the health, supply chain, and economic
impacts of climate change. Many of these individuals also have limited access to the information,
services, and resources needed to ensure resilience in the face of these impacts. Areas within the
community with increased flood risk, air quality impacts, compromised tree canopy coverage, and
older housing stock with insufficient air conditioning are vulnerable environments with heightened
exposure to climate change risks and compromised capacity to adapt. Vulnerable populations are
often disproportionately represented within the portions of communities with the greatest risks of
climate impacts like flooding or micro-heat island effects. Meanwhile, they also frequently lack
resources or opportunities to improve the resilience of their surroundings. The Sustainability Plan
outlines many goals to mitigate these climate risks to these vulnerable populations.

NFIP Participation Activities
Maintaining compliance under the NFIP is an important component of flood risk reduction. All
planning partners that participate in the NFIP have identified actions to maintain their compliance
and good standing. Cook County entered the NFIP on April 15, 1981. Structures permitted or built in
the County before then are called “pre-FIRM” structures, and structures built afterwards are called
“post-FIRM.” The insurance rate is different for the two types of structures. The effective date for the
current countywide FIRM is August 19, 2008. This map is a DFIRM (digital flood insurance rate map).
The communities in Cook County that participate in the NFIP are shown in Table: NFIP Participating
Communities in Cook County in Volume I of the Cook County MJ-HMP.
The NFIP makes federally-backed flood insurance available to homeowners, renters, and business
owners in participating communities. The communities in Cook County that participate in the NFIP
and their "Policies in Force," "Total Coverage," and "Total Written Premiums" are shown in Table: Cook
County Flood Insurance Policies in Volume I of the Cook County MJ-HMP.
The following are the NFIP-related activities completed by our community:
• Our staff provide the following services: permit reviews, GIS, inspections, engineering
capability.
• My community teaches property owners or other stakeholders about the importance of flood
insurance through public outreach events, workshops, and/or seminars.
• Our community enforces local floodplain regulations and monitors compliance.
Substantial Improvement Rule and the Substantial Damage Rule
The IDNR/OWR has developed a model ordinance for floodplain management, which has been
adopted by most communities in Illinois. The ordinance includes the minimum requirements an NFIP
participating jurisdiction must adopt and enforce, as well as additional higher regulatory
requirements. The optional, higher regulatory standards include a minimum one foot of freeboard
above the base flood elevation and cumulative tracking of damage repairs and improvements to
establish substantial damage and substantial improvement compliance. Some jurisdictions have
chosen to exceed the requirements of the model ordinance and have adopted more restrictive
ordinances. This is most common in the communities in northeastern Illinois.
Existing Municipal Code:
Pursuant to authority granted by the Illinois Municipal Code, 65 ILCS 5/1-2-1, 5/11-12-12, 5/11-30-2,
5/11-30-8 and 5/11-31-2 (2006), the Village hereby adopts by reference the Northern Illinois Model
Floodplain Ordinance 2008, as modified, pursuant to Village Ordinance Number 08-8-C-3631.

Opportunities to Expand and Improve Capabilities
Opportunities to expand and improve capabilities include: In 2022, the Village of Skokie adopted its
Environmental Sustainability Plan, which has identified the need for mitigation strategies that
prioritize populations particularly vulnerable to climate change. Through the ESP, the Village of
Skokie has identified several opportunities to expand or improve its current capabilities to meet the
needs of vulnerable populations within the Village. Additionally, the Village is in the process of
updating its Emergency Operations Plan, which has also presented opportunities to address gaps in
its emergency management services.
The Village's Environmental Sustainability Plan requires Village staff to be trained in new
technologies, practices, policies, and procedures that will support the plan's goals and ensure the
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The Plan also dictates that we promote equity in
hazard mitigation, emergency response, and recovery activities considering populations most
vulnerable to weather-related emergencies in all plans. The plan also specifies multiple action items
to mitigate the effects of climate change, mostly through building resilience, green infrastructure
measures and nature-based technologies to reduce the effects of extreme heat and flooding. The
Stormwater Master Plan will likely include the implementation of new projects, policies, and
procedures requiring funding, training, and support from internal and external stakeholders. Village
staff require additional training on grant writing/funding and cost/benefit analysis.
Plan Integration
The capability assessment describes opportunities to "link" or integrate the mitigation plan into other
planning mechanisms. The process and mechanism to identify opportunities to integrate the Cook
County MJ-HMP into other planning mechanisms will occur during the Annual Update Process and
be reflected in the Jurisdictional Annual Report each year. Specific plan integration opportunities will
include:
• The goals and actions of the Hazard Mitigation Plan will be considered in the next capital
improvement planning process.
• The hazards, goals, and actions of the Hazard Mitigation Plan will be considered in the next
update of the Comprehensive Plan.
• The hazards, goals, and actions of the Hazard Mitigation Plan will be considered in the next
update of the jurisdiction’s land use plans, zoning, and subdivision codes.
Emergency Plan Integration:
Cook County EMRS is supporting communities to develop and update their respective Emergency
Operations Plans, Continuity of Operations Plan/Continuity of Government Plan, and Recovery Plan
in 2024. This is an ongoing countywide initiative and is being implemented in all municipalities.
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP)
An EOP template was created for all municipalities. The 2019 Cook County MJ-HMP and the hazards
in the mitigation plan have been integrated into the Situation and Assumptions section of the EOP.
Within that section, the natural hazards based on the 2019 MJ-HMP were added in the Initial Analysis
and Assessment and Identification of Hazards section of the EOP. The hazards in the 2019 plan and
the 2024 MJ-HMP did not change apart from adding wildfires for the Forest Preserve and
8

VOLUME 2: MJ-HMP JURISDICTIONAL ANNEXES
unincorporated areas of the County. Future updates of the EOP will take into consideration any
additional new natural hazards that are added to subsequent updates to the MJ-HMP.
Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP)
The Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) for the municipality includes a Situation section that is
based on the 2019 Cook County MJ-HMP jurisdictional annex, and specifically the hazards identified
in the annex. The COOP-specific risk assessment is hazard-specific and based on likelihood of
occurrence and severity of impact.
Recovery Plan
The goals of the Recovery Plan were developed to align with the 2019 Cook County MJ-HMP, and
specifically prioritizes the responsibility of officials under this plan to save lives, protect property,
relieve human suffering, sustain survivors, repair essential facilities, restore services, and protect the
environment. The plan acknowledges that hazard mitigation is an important priority and
consideration during the rebuilding process.

Jurisdiction-Specific Hazards: Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Hazards that represent a county-wide risk are addressed in the Risk Assessment section of the 2024
Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update. This section only addresses the
hazards and their associated impacts that are relevant and unique to the municipality.
Drought: During extended drought in the summer time it causes an increase in water main breaks
throughout the Village of Skokie.
Flood: The Village of Skokie has two key roads that are prone to flooding: Skokie Blvd (Highway 41)
viaduct South of Oakton Street and McCormick Blvd. (mostly South of Howard St). Also, despite
maintaining existing flood control systems, we experience flooding at Devonshire Park, Touhy Ave,
and areas south of Touhy. The Village of Skokie Flood Map elaborates on specific areas of
vulnerability.
11
Return to top of Plan
VOLUME 2: MJ-HMP JURISDICTIONAL ANNEXES
Extreme Heat: These events have caused elderly housing facilities and existing shelters (cooling
centers) to lose power and emergency power is needed to maintain acceptable conditions.
High Winds: We have experienced outages at elderly housing facilities and existing shelters without
emergency power. Our community has predominately overhead power lines that are subject to
power outages.
Extreme Cold: We have experienced outages at elderly housing facilities and emergency shelters
(warming centers) without emergency power, leading the facilities to be unable to maintain
acceptable conditions. Previously, during extreme cold events, our shallow water mains have been
susceptible to freezing (e.g. Oakton St. east of Crawford during the 2019 Polar Vortex).
Ice Storms: Similar to the impacts of high winds, our Village's predominately overhead power lines
are vulnerable to ice damage.
Severe Weather: The lack of 24 hour shelters create a vulnerability to at-risk populations to extreme
heat and cold. The Village is vulnerable to flooding in several areas throughout the Village, see Village
of Skokie Flood Map.
Tornado: The Village of Skokie lacks shelters to house residents in the event a tornado affects our
jurisdiction.
Severe Winter Weather: Skokie has a fairly high population of disadvantage persons that may be
particularly vulnerable to extreme cold. Approximately 40% of our community is considered to be
disadvantaged, according to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Climate and Economic
Justice Screening Tool (See link to map in section 4.1.9 Hazard Mapping). Additionally, during severe
extended cold periods Skokie water mains which are shallow or older cast iron pipes are very
susceptible to breaks. These extreme cold periods cause a high percentage of water main breaks
which may occur throughout any given year.
Indicator Number Percent
Families in poverty 1,377 8%
People with disabilities 6,410 9.7%
People over 65 years 13,573 20.4%
People under 5 years 4,620 6.9%

Data are from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey. See methods for more
information.
The community evaluated whether vulnerability, and subsequently the potential impacts, in hazard-
prone areas had increased, decreased, or remained the same for each natural hazard identified in
this Hazard Mitigation Plan. Climate change, infrastructure expansion, and economic shifts that can
affect vulnerability were considered. For example, if planned development is in an identified hazard
area or is not built to the updated building codes, it may increase the community’s vulnerability to
future hazards and disasters. On the other hand, if development occurred with mitigation practices
in place, the vulnerability may have remained the same or decreased. Additionally, shifting
demographics were taken into consideration when assessing development trends.

Fire Department Rescue/Extrication Equipment Purchase
The Fire Department is requesting the purchase of Genesis Rescue Systems rescue and
extrication equipment. The FY25 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget contains
Rescue/Extrication Equipment funding to upgrade the rescue and extrication equipment on
Squad 18.
Equipment Management Company (EMC) is the sole source Genesis Rescue Systems dealer for
Skokie, Illinois. No other company or individual is authorized to sell or service Genesis Rescue
System tools to the Skokie Fire Department.
Budget Amount & Account: FY25 Rescue/Extrication Equipment $58,990.00
Total: $58,990.00
Recommendation:
It is recommended that a contract for the purchase of the following rescue and extrication
equipment and associated hardware/equipment be awarded to Equipment Management Company
(EMC) in the amount of $58,990:
• Genesis SL-i C385 Cutter (1)
• Genesis SL-i 28" Spreader S49 (1)
• Genesis 22/54" SL-i Telescopic Ram (2)

Comments:
Genesis Rescue Systems rescue and extrication equipment is used to free vehicle occupants from
vehicles that are involved in serious motor vehicle accidents, individuals that become entrapped
in machines or other heavy equipment, and individuals that become trapped by large objects or
debris that cannot be lifted and/or moved through conventional means, The rescue and
extrication equipment will replace existing equipment on Squad 18 that is approximately
eighteen (18) years old.
Over the past eighteen (18) years vehicle technology has greatly improved. Through engineering
and the use of stronger vehicle materials, safety has greatly improved for vehicle occupants.
However, the enhancement in vehicle material technology has created situations where the
current rescue and extrication equipment carried on Squad 18 is not capable of completing the
cutting and spreading tasks that the equipment was originally designed for.
The Genesis Rescue Systems equipment is equipped with the latest available industry technology
that exceeds current vehicle technology standards. This enhances the Fire Department's ability
to effectively conduct rescue and extrication operations on newer vehicles with modem safety
features that include stronger vehicle materials.
Additionally, the Genesis Rescue Systems equipment utilizes a trusted and proven Milwaukee
Battery technology platform that allows the equipment to operate independent of a fuel driven
hydraulic power unit. The battery technology allows the extrication equipment to be more
versatile, reduces setup times, and eliminates the need for the use of a fuel driven hydraulic
power unit.
The battery powered Genesis Rescue Systems equipment will prevent the Fire Department from
having to utilize fuel driven hydraulic power units while using the battery powered extrication
equipment. This change in operation to utilize battery technology on the extrication equipment
supports Village ofSkokie Sustainability efforts, and reduces the Fire Departments carbon
footprint.
Also, with the use of battery powered extrication tools, the hydraulic power unit was able to be
eliminated from the specifications for Squad 18 that is currently on order. This saved
approximately $76,000 in costs that would have been associated with the hydraulic power unit.
The Skokie Fire Department has used Genesis Rescue System extrication equipment for over
twenty (20) years and has been very satisfied with the durability and service of the extricadon
equipment. The continued purchase of the Genesis Rescue Systems extrication equipment
allows the Skolde Fire Department to continue to utilize the most current extrication technology,
while maintaining consistency in the Fire Department operations.

BOARD OF HEALTH
TO: George Van Dusen, Mayor
John Lockerby, Village Manager
FROM: .hP
Dr. Edward Linn, Chair Board of Health
Michael Charley, Director of Health and Human Services
Date: October 11, 2024
SUBJECT: Board of Health Recommendation on Backyard Chickens Prohibition
The Board of Health (BOH) was tasked with reviewing the Village's existing prohibition on backyard
chickens and providing a consensus recommendation on whether to maintain or repeal the ban. At the
BOH's October 10, 2024 meeting, the BOH concluded their evaluation and voted to recommend that the
Viltage uphold the current prohibition on backyard chickens. The motion passed with nine votes En favor
and three against.
During the meeting, the BOH discussed various aspects of backyard chicken-keeping, including
nuisances, health risks, and possible health benefits. They reviewed background materials/ including the
Health and Human Services' recommendation to maintain the ban, the Sustainability Environmental
Advisory Commission's recommendation to repeal it, Evanston's chicken ordinance, and resources from
pro-chicken advocacy groups.
Keeping backyard chickens in an urban environment like Skokie presents a complex mix of challenges
and opportunities. Although some residents might benefit from access to fresh eggs and a closer
connection to food sources, concerns about nuisances, potential health hazards, and the risk of chicken
abandonment were deemed sufficient to support the continuation of the ban.
if the Village chooses to further explore the feasibility of backyard chickens, it will be essential to
establish clear regulations in the Viilage ordinance that protect public health and preserve neighborhood
quality of life.

Cameron Hendricfe/'fflvironmental Supervisor
Date: October 7, 2024
SUBJECT: Keeping of Backyard Chickens in Skokie
After conducting research on the nuisances/ health risks, and potential health benefits of keeping
chickens. Health and Human Services staff/ including Mike Charley, Director of Health and Human
Services, and Cameron Hendricks, Environmental Health Supervisor, recommend that the Village
maintain its ordinance prohibition on the keeping chickens.
The keeping of backyard chickens in urban settings like Skokie poses a complex set of challenges and
opportunities. While there are potential benefits, especially for those seeking fresh eggs and a closer
connection to food production, the risks of nuisances, health hazards, and the abandonment of chickens
cannot be overlooked. Our research also involved thorough research of other local suburban
ordinances, with information included within this memorandum.
If the Village decides to continue exploration to the potential for backyard chickens, it will be critical to
establish clear guidelines within the Village ordinance that protect public health and maintain the
quality of life in our neighborhoods.
Current Skokie Village Code
Currently, the Village ofSkokie's municipal code prohibits the keeping of chickens and other livestock
within the Village limits. This restriction is rooted in the Village's longstanding urban nature and the
desire to mitigate potential nuisances and public health concerns associated with the presence of
animals traditionally viewed as farm livestock.
Current Village code: Sec. 18-8. ~ Prohibited species. (1) No person shall keep, or suffer to be kept, any
cattle, goats, horses, swine, poultry or other livestock in the Village.

Return to Agenda
Recent History of Backyard Chickens in Skokie
The issue of backyard chickens in Skokie has seen some debate/ particularly in 2014 and 2015.
In December 2014, the Skokie Health Department issued a memorandum to the Village
Manager advising against amending the Village Code to allow residents to keep backyard
chickens. The department highlighted several public health risks/ including the potential for
increased rat infestations, attraction of predators/ and the spread of diseases such as
salmonella and hlstoplasmosis. There was also concern about abandoned chickens/ as previous
incidents in Skokie had seen chickens discarded and !eft unattended.
In March 2015, the Skokie Chicken Keepers Association/ a group of residents advocating for
backyard chickens, requested a hearing to revisit the possibility of allowing chicken keeping.
The Village Manager responded by referring to a recent study conducted by the Health
Department, which reiterated its recommendation against permitting backyard chickens due to
ongoing concerns. This reinforced the position against changing the village's stance on the issue
at that time.
Nuisances Associated with Chickens in an Urban Setting
While the benefits of backyard chickens are appealing to some, they also come with several potential
nuisances, especially in densely populated areas like Skokie. These nuisances include:
Odor: Chicken coops can produce strong odors due to the accumufation of droppings. Without
proper maintenance, this can create an unpleasant environment for both the owners and
neighbors.
Noise: Although hens are quieter than roosters, they can still be loud/ particularly when they lay
eggs or sense predators. This noise could be disruptive, especially in close-knit residential areas.
Attracting Predators and Pests: Chickens can attract a range of predators such as raccoons,
coyotes, and foxes, which could present a safety concern in residential areas, in addition/
chicken feed can attract rodents like rats and mice, creating further public health issues. Skokie/
like other nearby suburbs/ has seen a rise in rat activity in recent years. Allowing chickens would
introduce another factor to monitor, as we are actively working to reduce the rat population.
Property Damage and Containment: Chickens/ if not adequately contained, may roam into
neighboring yards, causing damage to gardens and landscaping. Even in well-contained areas,
coops may pose aesthetic concerns that conflict with neighborhood standards. Historically,
chickens have been found roaming free in Skokie and required the Village's Animal Control to
respond and capture the free-roaming chickens.
Docff: 622152, Vrfwjir.l
Return to Agenda
Health Risks Associated with Keeping Chickens
The keeping of chickens/ especially in urban areas, presents several public health risks, including:
Zoonotic Diseases: Chickens can carry diseases that are transmissibie to humans/ such as
Campylobacter, E. coil/ Histoplasmosis, Salmonella and Avian influenza. Close contact with
chickens or improper handling of eggs can increase the risk of these infections, particularly for
children, the elderly/ and individuals with compromised immune systems. As recentiy as August
29, 2024 the Centers for Disease Control identified Salmoneila outbreaks linked to backyard
poultry: httt3S;//www,cdc.Rov/salmonelia/backyardpoultrv-05-24/index.htmL
Waste Management: Chicken droppings contain high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus/ which,
if not properly managed, can contaminate local water supplies. The accumutation of waste also
increases the risk of disease transmission and odors, making waste management a key concern
for both public health and environmental protection.
Vector-borne Diseases: Chicken coops may also serve as breeding grounds for vectors such as
flies and mosquitoes. Flies can contribute to the spread of disease, whtie mosquitoes may lead
to the transmission of West Nile Virus and other fitnesses.
Regulation ofChickens/VEIIage Resources
Regulating backyard chickens could divert attention from other essential municipal services, such as
health inspections, code enforcement, or animal control. This could impact the municipality's overall
service delivery and efficiency. Regulation of chickens may require significant time commitment
required from staff to handle permitting and inspection activities. Staff would need to process initial and
annual applications, review site plans/drawings, issue permits, conduct site inspections/ ensure
compliance with zoning and health regulations, and respond to complaints, all of which can strain
limited resources. The associated costs include staff salaries, training, vehicle use, and administrative
expenses, which may outweigh the benefits. Additionally, ongoing enforcement efforts to manage noise,
odor, and sanitation issues could further increase the municipality's workload and financial burden.
Most municipalities that allow chickens will charge an annuai permit fee, to offset Village costs
associated with chicken regulation.
Abandonment of Chickens
One issue often overlooked is the problem of chicken abandonment. Many urban residents who begin
keeping chickens may be unprepared for the long-term care required. Chickens can live for over a
decade, but their egg production typically decreases after 2-3 years. This leads some owners to abandon
their chickens when they no longer lay eggs, creating a need for rescue organizations or anima! control
to handle the surplus population. Abandoned chickens can suffer from neglect, predation, or starvation
and become a burden on municipal services.
According to a prior Health Department memo from 2014, in Skokie during 2009 to 2012 a total of 57
chickens were captured running at-large. According to more recent Animal Control Division data there
have been 39 total chicken-related calls for service since September of 2020. Of those 38 calls, only one
Docff: 6Z~21S2, Version:!
Return to Agenda
call was for a chicken running-at-large; the remaining 37 calls were for property owners keeping
chickens on their properties. Catfers related different concerns regarding chickens including the
presence of rats, roosters, stray cats and nuisance noise.
Benefits of Keeping Chickens
While there are concerns, it is important to recognize some benefits that backyard chickens can provide:
Access to Fresh Eggs: Backyard chickens provide a source of fresh eggs, which can contribute to
a healthier diet. Home-raised eggs are often seen as superior to store-bought eggs in terms of
freshness and nutritional content, as chickens with access to outdoor space may produce eggs
with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins.
Sustainability and Education: Raising chickens can foster a greater understanding of sustainable
living practices. This includes teaching children and adults alike about food systems, the
responsibility of animal care, and the importance of self-sufficiency. Additionally, chickens can
help reduce food waste by consuming kitchen scraps.
Mental Health Benefits: Many chicken owners report that caring for chickens provides mental
health benefits similar to those associated with other pet ownership. The routine of tending to
animals can offer stress reiiefand emotional satisfaction.
Surrounding Municipality Ordinance Survey
A survey of ordinances from 15 local municipalities revealed that 5 permit the keeping of chickens. In
these 5 municipalities/ their ordinances impose restrictions, such as limiting the number of chickens
(typically 2 to 6), prohibiting roosters (with Evanston allowing them only for educational purposes), and
requiring property owners to obtain an annual permit costing between $50 and $100. Additionally, the
ordinances include nuisance regulations and mandate that property owners register with the llflnois
Department of Agriculture.

DATE: September 30, 2024
SUBJECT: Summary of SEAC Recommendations Regarding Backyard Chickens
The Sustainable Environmental Advisory Commission discussed the sustainability-related
benefits of allowing backyard chickens for residents of Skokie, per the request of Tmstee James
Johnson. SEAC discussed the issue as it relates to an action item in the Environmental
Sustainability Plan:
Revise zoning ordinances to remove barriers to urban agriculture: yard and rooftop food
production, beekeeping, front-yard gardens, edible landscaping, and foraging. (LF 1-4)
The majority of the group supports well-maintained backyard chickens for the following
sustainability-related reasons:
• Self-sufficiency of a personal amount of food production
• Having a deeper understanding and appreciation of the resources involved in protein
production, including feed and water needed to maintain the chickens
• Potential health benefits of home-produced eggs
One member expressed concerns over noise and pest issues. The group acknowledged that those
issues are a concern and agreed that strict regulations and maintenance requirements would be
required in order to decrease matters related to noise and pests.

Program Initiatives/ Enhancements and Strategies
1. Recent Program Enhancements:
o Since 2021, have been utilizing heat maps to identify areas with the highest rat
activity, prioritizing these locations for surveiliance and educational outreach.
o Since 2021, have collaborated with Community Development to conduct
property standards surveys in areas where heat maps show the highest rat
activity. Community Development has focused on violations contributing to rat
infestations and inspecting garbage maintenance.
o In 2022, developed a new rat control database, streamlining data management
and reporting and improving program efficiency.
o In 2023, cross-training of HHS staff was conducted to handle administrative tasks
(phones, voice messages, data entry)/ allowing Environmental field staff to
dedicate more time to service our customers in the field.
o in 2023, created a dedicated rat program hotline, 847-933-8254 to streamline
calls and ensure coordinated responses.
o In 2023, amended the Animal Control ordinance to prohibit bird platform
feeders, identified as contributing to rat activity.
o Since 2023, have been testing innovative control methods/ such as using a non-
toxic CO2 treatment, new baits/ and contraceptive products like Evolve.
o Since 2023, have hired at least one summer intern to assist with rat control.
o In 2023, added an automated case-dosing step where property owners now
receive an email notification upon case closure/ induding the outcome and
preventive recommendations.
o In 2023, HHS switched from emails to using CitySourced to notify Community
Development of property standards violations (contributing factors). This
streamlined how HHS communicates with Property Standards.
o In 2023, initiated a zero-tolerance policy for overflowing dumpsters in areas with
high rat activity, with citations issued to ensure prompt reguiation adherence.
o In 2024, enhanced communication through an updated rat control website and
Release of Liability form, to include additional information addressing dog
owners' concerns related to rat abatement treatments.
o in 2024, Public Works is piioting new/ thicker residential refuse containers to
evaluate their effectiveness in preventing damage from rodents and squirrels.
This initiative aims to determine if the enhanced durability of these containers
can improve resistance to animal intrusion.
o The FY25 budget was increased to $294,000. The additional budget allowed the
Village to hire a second full-time Environmental Control Officer, secure a primary
rat control contractor to conduct weekly property visits and secure a secondary
rat control contractor to ensure continuity of rat controi services/ regardless of
demand.
o Over the last several years have prioritized using grant monies to purchase rat
control supplies and rodenticides.

Return to Agenda
Program Strategies
1. Public Education & Awareness
o The Health and Human Services (HHS) department leads an ongoing public
education campaign/ informing residents/ property owners, and businesses
about rat behavior, associated health risks/ and prevention strategies.
o Educational materials are shared through Skokie's weekly email newsletter/ "the
Scoop/" and quarterly print publication/ "NewSkokie." During property surveys/
HHS also distributes these materials, focusing on high-density areas and
encouraging property owners to reduce factors that contribute to infestations.
2. Surveillance & Monitoring
o HHS established a systematic surveillance program to track rat populations and
complaints. A newly developed database, launched in summer 2022, enhances
data tracking and accessibility/ enabling efficient reporting and monitoring.
Based on 2024 projections, rat cases in Skokie are expected to decrease by 12%
compared to 2023, contrasting with rising reports in nearby communities.
o Residents and property owners can report sightings via the dedicated website
(www.nomorerats.org), email (nomorerats(a)skokie.org)/ or the rat hotline (847-
933-8254).
3. Property Treatment
o For residential properties with four or fewer units/ HHS conducts timely surveys
and provides baiting/ with weekly follow-ups until infestations are resolved. Door
hangers are left after each visit, detailing findings and any contributing factors.
o For larger properties and businesses/ HHS requires owners to hire a licensed pest
control company if rat activity is confirmed and verifies compliance.
4. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
o HHS follows IPM principles, integrating biological, cultural/ physical, and
chemical methods for eco-friendly pest management. Weekly visits include
baiting/ educating property owners/ documenting contributing factors/ and
addressing code violations.
5. Village Rat Control Taskforce
o The Village established a dedicated taskforce in 2011, including representatives
from Public Works/ HHS/ Community Development, and the Village Manager's
Office. The taskforce meets monthly/ coordinates rat control strategies,
addresses high-risk areas, and updates policies.
6. Regional Collaboration
o Recognizing that rats are a regional concern, HHS collaborates with surrounding
municipalities/ including Lincolnwood, Wilmette/ Niles/ and Evanston, sharing
strategies and adopting best practices. Several neighboring municipalities have
contacted Cameron Hendricks, Environmental Health Supervisor/to learn about
our rat control program and explore ways to enhance their own efforts.

Although representing only a small part of greenhouse gas emission reduction potential in
the community, the Local Food and Agriculture Sector of the Skokie Environmental
Sustainability Plan aims to enhance community access to nutritious, locally-sourced, and
sustainably-produced food, reduce food waste, and support urban agriculture. The team
working on this sector has focused on large, community-wide efforts, rather than small-
individualized programs to have greater impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
improving food security, and creating a more resilient local food system for all residents. A
few notable accomplishments to date in this sector include:

• Reducing Food Waste and Hunger through access to Locally Grown Produce
o Since the plan was adopted, over 15,500 Ibs. of fresh food has been
collected at the Skokie Farmers' Market and donated to the Niles Township
Food Pantry, including a significant donation of over 1,200 !bs. of apples on
November 3, 2024 from a local farmer.
o Over $1,200_is_prpvided each_week to 50 low-income individuals to
purchase fresh produce and goods at the Skokie Farmers' Market.
o Provided $3,500 worth of Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program
coupons that were given to food-Jnsecure seniors.
o Provided nearly $1,000 in qrocery coupons to households in the
community.
• Public Education - The Local Food and Agriculture team has coiiaborated with The
Talking Farm (an urban farm located in Skokie) to bring sustainable food practices
and hands-on agricuttural learning. These initiatives span multiple community
organizations and schoois, induding monthly Climate Cafes with the Skokie Public
Library, where teens and adults discuss dimate change; seasonal workshops, field
trips, and schoo! garden clubs with Mlddleton Elementary and District 69/Macfison
Elementary; and volunteer days with District 219 and Niles North High School.
AdditionaHy, The Talking Farm collaborates with the Dougias Center for a weekly
program focused on gardening skills and flower harvesting for donor bouquets, as
we!! as seasonal internships that offer practical farming experience. These
educationa! efforts help foster sustainabie food knowledge, environmental
stewardship, and community engagement across Skokie.
• Increase Urban Agriculture Capacity - Staff conducted a comprehensive study of
tax-exempt, Viltage-owned and underutilized properties for new urban farms or
community gardens. This included on-site inspections, accessing each property for
accessibility, water infrastructure, sunlight exposure, soil quality and prior iand use.
Future Goals and initiatives
Looking ahead, the Local Food and Agriculture Sector Teams priorities are first to build on
the successes of the previous two years, The single largest area of the Local Food and
Agriculture Sector in reducing carbon emissions is preventing food waste in the community.
Focusing on food waste addresses a number of sustainability issues, including providing
nutritious food options to food insecure individuals, reducing the amount of discarded food
going into landfills and ensuring that uneaten food is at the least composted. With this in
mind, the Local Food and Agriculture team are planning a number of initiatives in the coming
year, including:
• Food Access/Security Initiatives and Food Waste Reduction
o Implementation and promotion of the Careit app amongst local businesses
which will reduce food waste through better facilitated donations between
local businesses and nonprofits. Village staff will facilitate training for iocal
participants as well as track food donation to ensure progress is made.
o Staff is working on a campaign to help residents reduce household food
waste, providing educationai materials on portion control, food storage
techniques and composting.
o Work with restaurant participants of the Skokie Green Business program to
discover better ways to reduce food waste within their business. Use these
best practices to facilitate implementation in other restaurants within the
community.
• Launch Grow Skokie Program with The Talking Farm - The Grow Skokie
program with The Talking Farm aims to expand community garden piots and provide
agricultural training for youth. Through partnerships with local schools and
organizations, the program will support food security and sustainabte agriculture

education. Food produced will also be distributed to local food pantries and food"
insecure residents.
• Revising Zoning Ordinances to Support Urban Agriculture - Village staff will
continue to promote green practices, including green rooftops and rooftop gardens
during the development planning process with redevelopers.
The Village of Skokje's approach to sustainability prioritizes a community-wide initiatives by
focusing on centralized locai food production rather than individual small-scale gardening.
By supporting community access to the Skokie Farmers Market, urban agriculture through
The Talking Farm, implementing food donation programs like Careit, working with local
restaurants to reduce food waste and establishing initiatives such as Grow Skokie, the
Village is working toward big impacts to create a more sustainabie, resilient, and food-
secure community.

Memorandum
To: Mayor George Van Dusen
Village Trustees
From: Trustee James Johnson
Date: September 9, 2024
Subject: New Business
Backyard Chickens
This memo corresponds to an agenda item request that I made during the Village Board’s regular meeting
on August 19, 2024. I requested that, by the end of November, the Board schedule a discussion under
New Business to discern whether there is Board interest in permitting and regulating backyard chickens
in Skokie.
Section 7 of Skokie’s Environmental Sustainability Plan for 2022-2030 concerns local food and agriculture,
with strategies to increase availability and access to locally-produced food. This section includes an action
item to “revise zoning ordinances to remove barriers to urban agriculture: yard and rooftop food
production, beekeeping, front-yard gardens, edible landscaping and foraging,” and to “examine and
pursue other policy levers to increase food production within the community.” I hope that permitting and
regulating backyard chickens can be part of Skokie’s broader initiatives concerning local food and
agriculture.
The City of Evanston’s licensure program for backyard chickens provides a helpful model for what is
possible in Skokie. Evanston allows 2-6 hens (no roosters) per coop, with clear requirements: public notice
to immediate neighbors, registration with the Illinois Department of Agriculture, annual re-registrations
with the City, provisions that coops be maintained and kept clean, and more. Hens may only be kept if
they do not cause a nuisance to the property of any person or to the community, and the City has the
power to revoke a license if an owner is found in violation. At least 25 homeowners are currently
permitted to keep backyard chickens in Evanston, and according to a recent article in the Evanston
Roundtable, the City’s environmental health license coordinator has claimed, “we do not get complaints
about any of the licensed pens at all.”
Regardless of whether the Board decides to proceed with permitting and regulating backyard chickens in
Skokie, I ask the Board to further remove barriers to urban agriculture in Skokie, in-line with our
Sustainability Plan’s strategies for increasing availability and access to locally-produced food.

Memorandum
Community Development Department
TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager
FROM: Johanna Nyden, AICP, Community Development Director
Justin Malone, Neighborhood & Housing Coordinator / CDBG Administrator
DATE: November 14, 2024
Subject: Skokie's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
2024 Program Year Status Update
This memorandum provides an overview of the Village's CDBG Program Year activity,
upcoming five-year consolidated plan and one-year action plan work, and funding activities.
Every year, the Village ofSkokie receives funding from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This
program aims to assist low- to moderate-income community residents through home
improvements, public services, and public facilities or infrastructure improvements.
Program Year Update
The Village Board approved the draft version of Skokie' s Annual Action Plan in June 2024, which
outlined the budget and spending goals for the Program Year. The spending categories within the
CDBG program include:
• Planning and Administration;
• Public Services; and
• Public Facilities and Improvements.
The Village's total entitlement (amount for this year) was $665,5601 . Presently, the Village has
completed Quarter 1 (May-July) and Quarter 2 (August-October) of the Program Year.
As a review, the funding amounts by category included;
1. Program Administration and Planning (20% funding cap): $70,000

advertisements.
Next Steps
Recently the Village was invited to join the Cook County Consortium. This is a group of
communities that collaborate toward meeting federal program guidelines and offer support with
program administration. The communities that comprise the northern Cook County portion of the
consortium include Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Schaumburg, and
Hoffman Estates. These communities coordinate planning activities for plan development (e.g.
surveys, technical assistance, and other activities), conduct annual CDBG process along similar
VOSDOCS-#623177-vl-Memorandum_CDBG_2024_Program_Year_Update Program Year Update Page 2 of 4
Return to Agenda
schedules to support applicants and service providers to work on a similar timeline (which helps
with provider budgets and work activities), and promote overall coordination on issues that are
of regional importance such as mental health, homelessness, and affordable housing.
It is notable to highlight that the timeline offered by this group facilitates broader public
participation and efficiency and synchs with timelines from HUD. The Program Year for
Skokie's CDBG program currently runs annually from May 1 to April 30. If the Village were to
join the Consortium, the Village's CDBG Program Year would align with the Cook County
Consortium's timeline, which runs from October to September annually. Staff has confirmed that
changing the CDBG Program Year dates will have no burden or impact on the Village's actual
fiscal timeline.
Staff is supportive of the consideration of this request and anticipates upon further review,
bringing a recommendation for the Village to join the Consortium to a future Village Board
meeting. To join the consortium, the Village Board would authorize the Village Manager to
execute a Memorandum of Understanding. During this transition, current and interested grant
subrecipients will be notified of the changes and the new schedule of the Consortium, including
the new application timeline for future program years. The Village's current CDBG program
year (typically ending April 30) will be extended 5 months to adjust to the updated program year
moving forward and an amendment to the 2024 Action Plan would be made to request for more
funds to budget for the interim months (in order to continue the support of previously approved
CDBG-related projects such as the Home Improvement Programs). As a result of this
amendment, there would be no gap in funding for the current Social Service agencies that rely on
CDBG funding for the year.
Concurrent to next year's annual CDBG allocation, the Village is scheduled to update its 5-Year
Consolidated Plan. This plan is a comprehensive five-year planning document that identifies the
overall housing and community development needs of the Village, outlines available programs
and resources, and establishes a strategy for prioritizing and addressing these needs.
Based on the likely participation in the Consortium, the tentative dates for the revised 2025
CDBG Program Year (Amendment to 1-Year action plan to extend, 20225 Funding allocations
and Action Plan Approval, and consolidated plan drafting) would be as follows:
1. December 2024 Village Board Meeting: Authorization to join the Cook County
Consortium
2. December 2024: Notification to applicants of Village's Plan to join Consortium and
instructions for process to update 2024 Action Plan to include bridge funding; Also
