PROPOSED RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION TO SUSPEND COOK COUNTY BOTTLED WATER BAN, RESOLUTION NO.
07-R-436, AND TO ALLOW GREATER DUE DILLIGENCE AND PROPER AUDIT AND ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL,
LOGISTICAL, AND OPERATIONAL IMPACT OF THE COOK COUNTY BOTTLED WATER BAN WHEREAS, according to the Cook County Bottled Water Ban
approved and passed on November 6, 2007, the Purchasing Agent and the Bureau
of Administration had 90 days or until February 4, 2008 to conduct a water
audit as set forth in the November 6, 2007 version of Resolution 07-R-436;
and WHEREAS, according to the Cook County Bottled Water Ban
approved and passed on November 6, 2007, the bottled water ban is to take
effect on February 1, 2008; and WHEREAS, the Cook County Bottled Water Ban calls for the
premature implementation of the bottled water ban in that said Resolution
07-R-436 requires the ban of bottled water prior to the due date for the
water audit required of the Purchasing Agent and the Bureau of
Administration; and WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners must be
apprised of and given the opportunity to review and digest the analysis and
results of the water audit so as to properly determine whether a bottled
water ban is in the best financial, logistical, and operational interest of
the various departments and agencies of Cook County government; and WHEREAS, the Cook County Board of Commissioners can only
exercise their fiduciary duty and proper due diligence by first reviewing and
digesting the analysis and results of the water audit and subsequently
evaluating whether to implement the Cook County Bottled Water Ban, Resolution
No. 07-R-436; and WHEREAS, the Purchasing Agent and the Bureau of
Administration absolutely require greater than 90 days to exercise proper due
diligence and conduct an audit which fully accesses the needs of the various
departments and agencies of Cook County; and WHEREAS, the financial, logistical and operational impact
of the bottled water ban require more than the 90 day period, allocated in
the November 6, 2007 version of Resolution 07-R-436, to develop a complete
assessment and implementation plan; and WHEREAS, a water audit and report is currently in progress
by the Administration to assess the status and quantity of the water cooler
contracts and equipment; and WHEREAS, preliminary assessments have detailed that not
all department and agency locations can use such a system or even have the
ability to connect to a municipal water tap source; and WHEREAS, the cost of the installation of water filtration
system at the various locations could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
and tens of thousands of dollars yearly for additional filters and
maintenance parts. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Resolution No. 07-R-436, the Cook County
Bottled Water Ban, be suspended so as to allow greater due diligence and
proper audit and assessment of the financial, logistical, and operational
impact of the Cook County Bottled Water Ban; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Cook County Board of
Commissioners appreciate and recognize the importance to exclude County
agencies and activities which address and have public health concerns from
the bottled water ban; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the
Bureau of Administration shall work with all County departments to conduct a
water audit to assess their current water usage, availability of fresh tap
water, the feasibility and cost of installing water purification systems, and
the financial, logistical, and operational impact on the various departments
and agencies; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that
such audit shall include a determination as to the viability of switching all
bottled water dispensers to bottle-less water dispensers; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that
such audit shall also include a determination as to the viability of turning
on all currently disconnected drinking water fountains; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Bureau of Administration
shall present their findings no later than July 1, 2008; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the
Cook County Board of Commissioners exercise their fiduciary duty and proper
due diligence in reviewing and analyzing said water audit, in an effort to
properly determine whether a bottled water ban is in the best financial,
logistical, and operational interest of the various departments and agencies
of Cook County government, prior to taking County Board action to implement a
bottled water ban; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, subsequent to the Cook County
Board of Commissioners’ exercise of their fiduciary duty and proper due
diligence, in the event the Board deems action to implement a bottled water
ban is appropriate, then said bottled water ban shall not be effective until
such time greater than 90 days after said determination so as to allow the
Bureau of Administration the proper lead time for implementation of an
alternative water filtration system; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the
Purchasing Agent and the Comptroller shall generate communication to all
departments and agencies setting forth that no bottled water contracts will
be developed or paid as of 90 days prior to the implementation of the
replacement filtered water systems, with said date of implementation as yet
to be determined. * Referred to the Finance
Committee on 2/6/08. |
