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.
