MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Steve Lentz
With record attendance in July at
Community Days followed by the
August Park-on-Park having nearly
700 cars in town, it has certainly been
a fantastic summer for community
events. The Summer Concerts Series
and the 3rd Annual Fine Arts Festival
were also well attended.
Many
thanks go out to all of the volunteers
and service organizations that
continue to make all of these events
so successful. You truly help make
Mundelein a great place to live.

Village Hall Hours: M-F
8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
The new Village Hall construction
project is currently ahead of schedule
with occupancy projected for July
2014. However, much work remains
before the building is ready for the
winter months when the interior work
will commence. You can follow the
construction process by selecting the
Downtown Mundelein avatar at the
top of www.mundelein.org and then
choose “Gallery” at the top of the
page. You will see pictures of the
new building and other site
improvements.
The start of this year’s street repair
program was delayed due to late
engineering design changes which
pushed the bidding period out farther
than expected. I am pleased to report
that the $1.54 million project, which
includes streets in Loch Lomond,
Cambridge Country, and Cambridge
West, began the last week of August.
Recently, the Village Board took
two big steps toward repositioning
Mundelein in the marketplace in
order to advance our economic and
community development. First, we
hired Business Districts Inc. to help
the Village develop a community
brand; and second, we have hired a
full-time staff member to improve
our communications and marketing
strategies. A community’s “brand” is
how others perceive our Village, and
what they say about us. Many
thanks to those who participated in
our branding survey. We received
over 1,000 responses. Our new
Communications and Marketing
Manager will assist in implementing
the branding message that will help
set us apart from our neighboring
competition.
School is back in session; remember
to drive carefully, watch for
pedestrians, and observe the school
speed limits and cell phone
restrictions. Finally, be sure to visit
the One World Festival on Saturday,
September 21st from noon to 5 p.m.
at the Metra Station.
Communicaons & Markeng
T
he Mayor and the Village Board are pleased to welcome Dawn Jenich to
the newly created position of Communication and Marketing Manager for
the Village of Mundelein. Ms. Jenich brings a wealth of communications,
public relations and marketing expertise to the Village of Mundelein from a number of different industries including healthcare, finance and education.
“Ms. Jenich” Mayor Lentz explained “will work closely with the Village Board
and Village departments to ensure effective, branded marketing communications
including the Village website, print communication, economic development, and
social media. Additionally, she will help to elevate the profile of the Village
through media and public relations strategies and initiatives. We are very excited
that she accepted the position and look forward to working with her.” Over the
past 15 years Ms. Jenich worked as a Public Relations Specialist for Vista Health
and most recently as the Marketing Director for Carmel Catholic High School.
She is well versed in corporate communications including websites, newsletters,
brochures, and press releases; brand management; project and special event management; media and public relations; educational and marketing programming;
and short and long-term planning.
Village Administrator, John Lobaito commented, “We are fortunate to attract
someone with Ms. Jenich’s experience and talent. Aside from her broad work
experiences a key factor in selecting Ms. Jenich was that her work history has
been entirely outside of government. I am looking forward to her bringing a
fresh perspective to our organization.”
Earth Day Every Day
T
he Mundelein Village Board and staff are committed to making the
Village as “green” as possible. The recent addition of the multi-family
recycling in May of this year is a good example of this philosophy. To
reach our goal of 60% diversion of materials from our landfills we need everyone
to Recycle First/Trash Last. There are many ways to recycle in addition to the
curbside program.
x Plastic Bags can be recycled at all our grocery stores.
x Newspaper recycling containers are available at Santa Maria Del Popolo.
x A used book drop off is available at Dominicks.
x Bring old running shoes to the Parkview Rec Center.
x Recycle Electronics at the Mundelein Public Garage, May thru September.
x Recycle construction and demolition waste when you remodel.
x Dispose of Pharmaceuticals at the Mundelein Police Station

Diversity Awards will be presented
in early 2014 to recognize and celebrate the efforts of those who

diversity and advocate for cultural
awareness. Nominees must create

Valerie Walker. Ms. Walker is the
Very Important Player (VIP) Program Administrator. The VIP program provides children with special
needs the ability to participate
in soccer with the help of a buddy. Lake County Center for Independent Living (LCCIL) is an organization dedicated to empowering
people with disabilities to lead selfdirected lives as valued members of
the community. LCCIL is located in
downtown Mundelein, but serves
the whole County.
Nomination forms are available at
www.mundelein.org, or by contacting Staff Liaison, Amanda Orenchuk, at (847) 949-3282 or at [email protected]. The HRC
looks forward to hearing from you,

success in promoting Mundelein’s
multicultural strengths.
JAWS OF LIFE
Fire Department
Specialized Response Teams
T
he Mundelein Fire Department
is an active member of the Lake
and McHenry County Specialized Response Teams (SRT), which is
made up of emergency responders who
are extensively trained for specialty
rescues and recoveries. The SRT teams
serve Northeastern Illinois and are one
of the premiere rescue organizations in
the State. The team’s mission is to provide a regional firefighter resource group that responds to the request of member
agencies, as well as through mutual aid agreements, in order to protect life, property and the environment.
Y
ou may have seen the “Jaws
of Life” at the Fire Department Open House or perhaps you have heard them referenced in a vehicle crash portrayed
on television. The history and the
function of the “Jaws” dates back to
1963 where they were first used to
free race car drivers from their
vehicles.
This cooperative structure is a cost effective means for municipalities to providing special rescue resources to residents; avoiding the need for each Fire Department to supply all the staff and equipment required for these special rescues.
SRT is comprised of the following special teams: Hazardous Materials, Dive
Rescue, Structural Collapse, Trench Rescue, Confined Space, High Angle Rescue, Wildland Firefighting and Side Scan Sonar Teams.
CERT Team Training
F
ollowing a major disaster, fire and
medical first responders have to prioritize their resources. CERT Teams work
with Fire and Police responders to
provide
assistance to the community immediately following an incident until more help is available.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) encourages the use of Community
Emergency Response Teams (CERT).
Volunteer CERT members are trained by the Fire Department on disaster preparedness. The training provides basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, search and rescue, team organization, and medical operations. A 20-hour
CERT training program will be held on October 18 (6 – 10 PM), October 19 (8
AM – 4 PM) and October 20 (8 AM – 4 PM) at Fire Station 1, 1000 N. Midlothian Road. Participation is free and open to those 18 years and older, or 16 to
17 years old with a signed parental permission slip and waiver. Upon training
completion, participants will be invited to join the CERT team. For applications
call the Fire Department at 847-949-3260 or email [email protected]. Applications must be returned by October 1, 2013.
CERT meets semi-monthly for refresher training and drills, and also provides a
First Aid Station during Village-sponsored events. The team is a part of the
Lake County Citizen Corps. For more information about Lake County CERT
Teams visit www.citizencorps.gov/cert or www.emcclc.org/citizencorps.
The modern day “Jaws” has two
partners (cutters and rams) that assist in extricating victims trapped in
a vehicle, machine, or even a building collapse. These tools pry, lift, or
cut the obstacle that is trapping the
person so they can be safely rescued. These tools can remove a
vehicle’s roof in just two minutes.
The “Jaws” equipment operates
with a hydraulic pump and can be
operated by hand, foot, enginepower, or even built into the tool.
Previously rescuers often used circular saws for vehicle extrication,
but the saw had several drawbacks sparks that could start a fire, loud
sounds stressing the victim(s), and it
was very slow.
The Mundelein Fire Department has
three sets of the “Jaws” of life with
all of the attachments. Firefighters
train regularly and they are tested
for proficiency with these tools annually.

Concealed Carry Law
O
n July 9, 2013, the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, became state law (430
ILCS 66). You may view the full text of the law at http://www.ilga.gov/
legislation/publicacts/98/PDF/098-0063.pdf.
The Illinois State Police (ISP) and the Mundelein Police will enforce the law.
Citizens cannot lawfully carry concealed weapons without a valid Illinois Concealed Carry License. Citizens who carry firearms without a Concealed Carry
License issued by the ISP are subject to arrest. All Illinois residents seeking to
obtain a Concealed Carry License must have a valid FOID card. Out-of-state
residents are exempt from the FOID card requirement. The Illinois State Police
(ISP) has 180 days to make applications available to the public. The ISP intends
to have applications available via the ISP webpage: http://www.isp.state.il.us/
firearms/ccw/ccw-faq.cfm .

The dinner also includes a silent
auction. The Alumni Association assists the Police Department with events throughout the
year and has donated to equipment such as portable breath testers to the department and donated to the Shop with a Cop event.

Video Gaming
Building Department
Sewer Backup Prevention Program
T
he Village Board recently approved a new program to reimburse the
costs for installation of equipment, devices, and plumbing alterations
which reduce or prevent sewer backups into homes and basements for
single family and multi-family residential property owners.
The Mundelein Sewer Backup Prevention Program reimburses eligible homeowners up to 50 percent of the project cost, or a maximum of $4,000. Installation of overhead sewers, sewer backflow devices, battery back-up sump pump
systems are a few examples of what can be eligible for a rebate. Improvements
to both the sanitary and storm sewer lines are included under this program. The
program is limited to the actual cost of the labor and equipment to install the
overhead sewer or backflow device and related equipment. The cost for landscape restoration or interior finishes are not eligible under this program.
Homeowners interested in taking part in the program must submit a building
permit with plans for the installation along with the completed Sewer Backflow
Prevention Application. Once the project is completed and inspected by the
Village and all waivers of lien are submitted, the reimbursement process begins,
and takes about four weeks to complete. For more information or a program
application, please contact the Mundelein Building Department at 847-949-3283
or visit the Village website at www.mundelein.org.
T
he first video gaming sites in
Illinois opened in October
2012. In December 2012,
Mundelein approved video gaming
after a long period of debate and
input from the community residents
and businesses. Immediately following Mundelein’s approval, a
number of local businesses applied
for their State Video Gaming license. The State approval process is
long and rigorous, taking approximately nine months from application
to approval.
The first two Mundelein businesses
to receive a State Video Gaming
License were Greg’s Olde Town
Tap, 522 N. Seymour Street; and
Fairhaven Lanes, 711 E. Hawley
Street. Both are in the final stages
of machine installation and inspection by the Illinois Gaming Board
and the Village.

Public Works and Engineering
Facility Lighting Costs Lowered
I
n the summer of 2012, the Public Works Department completed a retrofit of
Village facilities with new fluorescent bulbs and ballasts. We have seen
expenses lowered as a result. The majority of the project focused on replacement of obsolete T12 bulbs and ballasts in 25 different buildings with new
T8 bulbs and ballasts providing better energy efficient. The project was funded
by grants from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation and the DCEO
Public Sector Energy Efficiency Program. The Village was able to leverage
grant funding from the different funding sources to eliminate any Village cost.
In addition to the lighting upgrade, energy efficiency improvements were made
at the waste water treatment plant. The early results on the impact of these improvements indicate that energy usage and expenses have been reduced significantly. The energy bill at the waste water plant has been reduced significantly;
during May through July 2013 the energy costs have been reduced from $34,000
to $18,000. More improvements are underway in the water distribution system
that will also lower energy usage and expenses.
Ash Tree Removal
I
n response to the recent infestation of the Emerald
Ash Borer (EAB), the Village is taking steps toward
preparing for and managing the impact. Public Works
will be assessing the health of ash trees throughout the Village Right-of-Way and marking impacted ash trees for removal. Once
removed, the tree may be replaced at a later date with a disease resistant, salt
tolerant variety. Residents will be informed prior to removals and provided
with a list of potential tree varieties that may be planted, should the tree be
replaced. Contact Public Works with any questions at (847) 949-3270.
Proper Disposal of Potential Pollutants
E
very day the average adult uses products like shampoo, toothpaste, sunscreen, and cosmetics that contain certain contaminants that are
wastewater treatment plants are not able to remove from the effluent
discharge. In addition, minute amounts of prescription and over-the-counter
drugs also make their way into water. Wastewater treatment plants do not treat
the wastewater for these types of contaminants, focusing more on bacteria and
other elemental contaminants. While there is no evidence these traces pose a
risk to human health, studies have shown that these trace amounts pose a significant risk to the habitat of local aquatic wildlife.
Controlling what goes down the drain is the easiest and most effective way to
protect the environment. When disposing of unused pharmaceuticals: follow
product recommendations for use and disposal; decrease use when possible;
keep water clean by not flushing unused medication down the toilet. If you
have further questions about the Village’s wastewater treatment, please contact
the Wastewater Treatment Division at (847) 949-3275.

Minimum Water Bill Units Reduced
B
eginning with the June 1, 2013 water bill, the Village reduced its
bi-monthly minimum water/sewer bill charge from 7 units to 6 units. The
minimum charge is used to help offset the meter maintenance, readings,
and other fixed costs of the water/sewer system. Energy efficiencies and lower
supply costs in the water/sewer system have allowed the Village to reduce the
low consumption users’ bills by 14%.
The water/sewer rate for the year ending May 1, 2014 was set at $6.57 per unit
(100 cubic feet). This is the same rate as the prior two years and ranking Mundelein as one of the lowest water rates in the area.
Renewal registration is $30 per street
address as long as the contact information has not changed. Otherwise,
the fee is $35. New registration is $35
per street address, plus $2 for each
additional unit located at each address.

Special Committees Established
n the last few months, the
Mayor and Village Board have
established two, new volunteer
committees for special projects. On
July 8th, the Police Statue Planning
Committee was established. This
committee was formed in response
to a request from the public for the
installation of statue to commemorate the men and women of the Police Department, and to add public
art to the Village. Resident Jack
Forshaw was appointed Chairman
along with members Sue Foreshaw,
Don Hansen, Holly Kim, Jim
Nutschnig, Tom Ouimet and Marilyn Sindles.
The Committee is charged with
studying options for installing a
commemorative statue, making recommendations regarding design,
acquisition, location and cost. The
Committee will develop a fundraising plan, which is to be approved
by the Village Board, and is authorized to raise funds for the costs
related to the project.
On August 26th, the Fire Truck
Preservation
Committee
was
2013 F Prect
W
formed to provide for annual
maintenance and repair of the
Village’s antique fire truck, Old
#1. The Centennial Committee
raised over $60,000 in 2009-2010
to restore the original 1926
Stoughton Fire Truck donated to
the Village by Cardinal Mundelein. Members of the original
committee suggested that a plan be
established to raise funds to provide for the long term maintenance
of Old #1. The vehicle makes numerous appearances at parades,
community events, and special
occasions each year. The operation and travel are hard on the 87
year old vehicle. It is estimated
that approximately $3,000 is needed annually for maintenance and
repairs. A reserve for more costly
repairs that are needed periodically
is also be contemplated.
Upcoming Community Events
ith the progress on the
new Village Hall moving
ahead of schedule, the
Village Board moved up the reconstruction of North Archer Street from
Spring 2014 to Fall 2013. North
Archer serves as the west entrance to
the Village Hall and the main entrance to the offices of Weston Solutions. Design engineering was approved on August 26th and construction is scheduled for early October,
with completion by the end of November. The work will include new
sanitary sewer, gas main relocation,
new street surface, curb and gutter,
and sidewalks.
On September 9th the Village Board
approved the extension of Chicago
Avenue from the north lot line of the
Metra Station to Division Street. The
project will improve traffic flow
through the Metra lot. The design
engineering is complete and the project is anticipated to be complete this
Fall. In addition, the final surface
will be added to Chicago Avenue
from Hawley to the Metra lot and the
first phase of public improvements
will be completed this construction
season.
oin the Mundelein Park and Recreation District on
November 3rd for the 6th Annual Pumpkin
Drop from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event is
free, bring your pumpkin (1 per person) and watch the
sled hill at Keith Mione Community Park go green as
pumpkins soar and smash all in the name of composting
and recycling at this award-winning event. Pumpkins
will be launched with the Mundelein High’s School’s
“Big Red” catapult (technically a trebuchet). Enjoy
snacks, take a chance at prizes and learn about recycling.
In an ongoing effort to improve the
appearance and “walkability” downtown, Public Works and Engineering
will begin working on streetscape
improvements that include new
benches and trash receptacles, street
light pole painting, brick paver remediation, and enhanced landscape features. The project will run through
Spring 2014 and will include North
Seymour (Hawley to Park) and Park
Street (Lake to Seymour).
The Mundelein Park and Recreation District also offers a Polar Express Train
Ride on December 14th from 3:10 p.m. until 5:45 p.m. This holiday train
will run from the Prairie Crossing Metra Train Station in Mundelein to the
North Pole (Fox Lake). A story reader will read The Polar Express, there will
be songs, treats and more. Children one and under are free. Ages 2 to 12 are
$12 for residents and $15 non-residents, ages 13 and up $10 for residents and
$13 for non-residents. To register call Myra Tatarowicz at 847-388-5490.
The old wells at 369 Lomond Drive
and 460 Killarney Pass Circle have
been abandoned and capped. The
Public Works and Engineering Department will be demolishing the well
houses in the near future.
