Commissioner Silvestri stated that
this is a fee for a service that we are currently providing for free, and that
it will generate approximately $1 million per year.
Commissioner Suffredin voiced his
approval of this item and stated that the County should have been licensing
these databases in the past. He further
stated that this item was part of Assessor Houlihan’s proposed revenue
projections.
Chairman Daley inquired of John
Fallon, Special Assistant to the Assessor, Cook County Assessor’s Office,
whether this $1.1 million revenue estimate was discussed with Comptroller
Knorr.
Mr. Fallon stated that he did
attempt to reach Mr. Knorr prior to his departure. He further stated that he met with the Budget
Department yesterday.
Barbara Bruno, Director, Cook
County Department of Revenue, stated that the Department of Revenue had not
analyzed any of these numbers.
Mr. Fallon stated that the figures
are generated by a conservative estimate of eight users at $60,000 and twenty
users at $30,000.
Chairman Daley stated that if this
expected revenue is not generated in full, the balance will be removed from the
Mr. Fallon replied that he and his
colleagues are very confident that all projected revenue will be

Assessor’s Office is preparing to use some of this projected revenue toward
meeting the 17% budget cuts.

all Commissioners as co-sponsors.
Commissioner Silvestri, seconded by Commissioner Murphy, moved that the

PROPOSED ORDINANCE
FACILITY ENTRANCE FEE BE IT ORDAINED, by the Cook County Board of
Commissioners that Chapter 54, Article VII, Sections 54-330 through 54-335
are hereby enacted as follows: Article VII.
Wagering Location Facility Entrance Fee Sec. 54-330. Title. Sec. 54-331. Fee
Imposed. A $1, per person, admission fee to inter-track wagering
location facilities that are located within Sec. 54-332. Fee
Requirements. The
inter-track wagering location licensee shall collect the Cook County
Inter-Track Wagering Location Facility Entrance Fees and, pursuant to section
(f) of 230 ILCS 5/27, within 48 hours remit the fees to the Illinois Racing
Board, which shall, pursuant to rule, cause the fees to be distributed to the
Cook County Department of Revenue. Sec. 54-333. Use of Fee Revenue. The
revenue generated from the Cook County Inter-Track Wagering Location Facility
Entrance Fee shall be used for the purpose of funding the Cook County Bureau
of Health Services. Sec. 54-334. Rules and Regulations The
Cook County Department of Revenue may promulgate reasonable rules,
definitions and regulations necessary to carry out the duties imposed upon it
by this Ordinance. Sec. 54-335. Effective date. This
Ordinance shall be effective upon its passage by the Cook County Board of Commissioners. Secs. 54-326 –
54-329. Reserved. *Referred to the
Committee on Finance as amended on |
Commissioner Silvestri inquired
how this entry fee relates to other municipalities with betting facilities.
Ms. Bruno replied that the Illinois
Compiled Statutes allow a local municipality and county to collectively levy
two dollars. She further stated that, to
her knowledge, the City of
Patrick Driscoll, Deputy State’s Attorney, Chief, Civil
Actions Bureau, further clarified that both the municipality’s levy and the
County‘s levy are capped at one dollar each.
Ms. Bruno read the following
excerpt from the Illinois Compiled Statutes:
“Any municipality or County that has a board-licensed inter-track
wagering location, board-licensing meaning the Illinois Racing Board, a
facility wholly within its corporate boundaries, may each impose an admission
fee not to exceed one dollar per admission to such inter-track wagering location
facility, so that a total of not more than two dollars per admission may be
imposed.”
Commissioner Goslin inquired if
the revenue would be routed to the Cook County Bureau of Health Services.
Tom Glaser, Chief Financial
Officer, replied that this can be done, but that if the revenue were sent to
the general fund, it could instead be allocated according to need.
Commissioner Schneider voiced the
following reasons that the tax would prove detrimental to the County: The levy would act as a disincentive to OTB
patrons at a time when the industry is already in decline. With loss of patrons, related spending would
decline (in areas such as meals and alcoholic beverages). This would result in lower sales tax revenue
for the County.
Commissioner Beavers inquired
whether there was anyone present from the racing industry.
Chairman Daley responded that the
Secretary had informed him that there was not.
Commissioner Butler, seconded by Commissioner Goslin, moved to amend
Section 54-333, such that the fees shall be used for the purpose of the General
Fund. The motion to amend carried. Commissioner Schneider voted no.
Chairman Daley asked leave to add
all Commissioners as co-sponsors, with the exception of Commissioner Schneider.
Vice Chairman Sims, seconded by Commissioner Butler, moved that the
proposed ordinance (Communication Number 284783) be approved and adopted, as
amended. The motion carried. Commissioner Silvestri voted present, and
Commissioners Peraica and Schneider voted no.

ORDINANCE
REGARDING CHAPTER 58, ARTICLE V, SECTION 164 REGARDING MOTOR VEHICLES,
SEIZURE AND IMPOUNDMENT (PROPOSED ORDINANCE). Submitting a Proposed Ordinance sponsored
by Larry Suffredin, County Commissioner. The following is a synopsis of
the Proposed Ordinance: PROPOSED ORDINANCE
BE IT ORDAINED, by the
Cook County Board of Commissioners that Chapter 58, Article V, Section 164 is
hereby enacted as follows: Section 58-164. Motor Vehicles, Seizure and Impoundment. (a) Definitions. (b) Owner liability;
exceptions. (c) Seizure and impoundment. (d) Vehicle impoundment hearing. (e) Notification of
impoundment; hearing scheduled; failure of owner to appear; determination;
penalty (f) Administrative penalty
constitutes debt owing to County. Section 58-165. Qualified
Violations for Impoundment. *Referred to the Committee on
Finance on |
Commissioner Suffredin stated that
the ordinance would create an impoundment fee schedule which would generate
just under $1 million per year, based upon the number of cars that are
impounded.
Commissioner Beavers inquired how
this ordinance relates to the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code.
Matthew Walsh, Deputy Chief, Cook
County Sheriff’s Police, replied that this ordinance is consistent with
Commissioner Beavers inquired as
to the process of impoundment.
Mr. Walsh replied: The County works with twenty-one towing
companies, which charge a fee of $130 to $150.
Various other municipalities charge impound fees ranging up to
$500.
Commissioner Murphy asked for
clarification of the term “curfew” included in the ordinance.
Commissioner Suffredin replied
that this category of offense was removed from the ordinance in a proposed
amendment.
Commissioner Quigley noted that
Mr. Givens had just informed him that the projected revenue for the current
year from the proposed fee increase is $1.2 million.
Commissioner Collins voiced
concern that the County does not have the resources to conduct administrative
hearings for impoundment.
Commissioner Suffredin replied
that this would be done through the existing court system, with the County’s
courtrooms, State’s Attorney personnel, with a judge presiding.
Commissioner Butler voiced concern
that the ordinance does little to address the situation where an individual is
driving the car without the knowledge of the owner.
Commissioner Silvestri made the
following remarks: The ordinance exempts
stolen vehicles which are reported to the police within twenty-four hours. The ordinance also exempts the situation
where a violation occurred without the knowledge of the person who controls the
vehicle. There is an impoundment
hearing, at which the owner can make a case for the vehicle to be released and
the fee waived.
Mr. Walsh stated: The vehicle owner has a right, within twelve
hours, to request a vehicle impoundment hearing. If the vehicle is stolen, it will be returned
to the owner-of-record immediately; no fees will be charged and the towing fee
will be waived.
Commissioner Silvestri inquired whether
the ordinance gives the Sheriff’s Office the authority to waive the fee if the
vehicle owner cannot afford to pay it.
Commissioner Suffredin replied in
the negative.
Vice Chairman Sims suggested that
it would be economical for the County to develop the capability of in-house
towing and impounding.
Commissioner Steele urged that the
County be more aggressive in obtaining profit sharing with the towing
companies, which in some cases obtain salvage title and then profit from the
sale of the cars.
Commissioner Claypool echoed this
sentiment.
Commissioner Suffredin, seconded by Commissioner Silvestri, moved that
the proposed ordinance (Communication Number 284785) be approved and adopted.
Sponsored
by Larry Suffredin,
In Sec.
58-164(b), should read as follows:
The owner of record of any motor vehicle which vehicle is used during the
commission of any of that violates any of the qualified

under this division. Any such vehicle shall be subject to seizure and

Chairman Daley inquired as to the
projected revenue from the proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Suffredin
replied: The County can anticipate
$100,000 in permit fees, but the number of false alarms would determine the
remaining amount. Last year there were
1,000 false alarms.
Commissioner Steele voiced concern
that the $100 permit fee might discourage usage; he suggested a lower fee.
Commissioner Beavers noted that
one problematic situation is where the alarm goes off, the Sheriff’s Office
responds, the Sheriff’s Office determines there was no burglary, and then the
homeowner or business owner arrives the next morning to find that a burglary
did occur.
Commissioner Suffredin replied
that, as stated on page two of the Ordinance, this situation is not considered
a false alarm.
Commissioner Beavers stated that
several false alarms should be permitted (instead of only one) before fees are
imposed.

The following is a synopsis of
the Proposed Ordinance: PROPOSED ORDINANCE
|
Commissioner Maldonado noted that
he had circulated several amendments to the proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Suffredin inquired as
to the County’s means of measurement.
Commissioner Maldonado
replied: The County would be utilizing
methods established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The companies would have to submit a biannual
report disclosing their emission levels.
He noted that two coal-fired power plants located in Chicago will
qualify; they currently emit more than 2500 tons per year in sulfur dioxide.
Commissioner Suffredin, seconded by Commissioner Butler, moved to amend
the proposed ordinance by striking Section Four. The motion to amend carried. Commissioner
Goslin voted no on the motion to amend.
Commissioner Suffredin inquired
whether the administration and the Department of Revenue are comfortable with
this ordinance, in terms of collecting a fee.
Ms. Bruno replied in the
affirmative. She further stated that the
Department questioned whether or not it would be considered an occupation tax,
and therefore the amendment employs the term, “fee.”
Chairman Daley requested that Mr.
Driscoll look into the issue of whether this ordinance is a fee or a tax.
Mr. Driscoll replied that he would
have an opinion on the matter by next Thursday.
Commissioner Schneider voiced
concern that the two entities which would effectively be taxed by this
ordinance were not invited to the meeting.
Chairman Daley asked the Secretary to the Board to call upon
the registered public speakers.
1. Dorian Brewer – Membership Steward,
Pilsen Green Party

Commissioner Maldonado stated that
this Ordinance would be a good way to recoup the cost of both the undue wear
these vehicles cause to the highway system, and the health and environmental
damage these vehicles cause. He further
noted that gas-efficient vehicles would be exempt from the ordinance.
Commissioner Collins inquired as
to how this fee would be collected.
Commissioner Maldonado replied
that the flat fee would be placed on the vehicles as they are sold for retail
purchase.
Mr. Driscoll stated that he would
characterize this as a tax.
Commissioner Steele stated that
this fee would come as an addition to three other costs associated with owning
a SUV: increased gas consumption,
increased fee for a City of Chicago vehicle sticker, and an increased insurance
rate.
Commissioner Maldonado, seconded by Commissioner Beavers, moved that the
proposed ordinance (Communication Number 284788) be approved and adopted. On a voice vote, the motion to approve
failed.
