The City of Northlake received a grant to developa new comprehensive plan to update/replace theprevious comprehensive plan which was done in1994. Although many of the recommendations madein the 1994 Plan have been implemented, the passageof time mandates that we once again look to wherewe have been and where we are going. The grantopportunity to develop this new plan was very timely.

The new comprehensive plan will serve as a guidefor decisions relating to community developmentissues affecting land use, transportation,infrastructure and capital improvements throughoutour community.

The first part of the plan, an “Existing ConditionsReport,” is in draft form, almost ready forpublication. This report is a listing of conditions,both positive and negative, which are existing inNorthlake today. The comprehensive plan will drawupon this report.

Besides noting Northlake’s excellent location fortransportation, other items that were noted were:

- Industrial properties account for nearly half (48%)of all property value in the City of Northlake.

- Northlake has extraordinary low rates of vacancyin its commercial real estate profile, withindustrial at .07 percent and retail at 1.2 percentand office space at .9% vacancy rates.

- Northlake generates substantially more revenuefrom retail sales on a per capita basis comparedto the rest of Cook County and the region.

- Northlake contains nearly one-fifth of allindustrial space within its near Northwestsubmarket.

- Northlake has less housing vacancy (6.8%),93.2% occupied, than either the county or region.

- Northlake has significantly higher ownership ratesthan the county or region within 71.4% of unitsowner occupied compared to 58.2% for thecounty and 65.5% for the Chicago region.

- Northlake’s housing stock is aging, with mosthomes built during the 1950’s.

- Foreclosure rates are increasing in Northlake.- Northlake has lost jobs, reflecting the regional and

national trends, but still retains an above averagenumber jobs when compared to the region with1.7 private sector jobs per household inNorthlake compared to just over one for both thecounty and region.

- Northlake’s average household income is $52,516per year, slightly less than the average householdin Cook County, $53,942.

- More than70% of Northlake’s population is underage 50, with a median age of 36.

The existing conditions reported is a snapshot ofwhere our community stands today. When completed,the comprehensive plan will help guide us to wherewe want to be tomorrow.

On another note, the cooler days of autumn areupon us. Let’s get out there and enjoy them while wecan.

News Release from SenatorDon Harmon, President ProTempore, Illinois State Senate

New law protects families ofchildren with autism

“No parent should ever have to choose between continuing achild’s medical treatment and paying the bills.”

—State Senator Don Harmon

Springfield, IL- Families of people diagnosed with autism are facing apotential crisis: the loss of insurance coverage. The American PsychiatricAssociation is considering changing the definition of autism spectrumdisorder, and the new definition could potentially disqualify many Illinoisfamilies, forcing them to choose between giving up medically necessarytreatments or spending thousands and thousands of dollars.

“No parent should ever have to choose between continuing a child’smedical treatment and paying the bills,” Harmon said. “Children who havealways been considered ‘autistic’ and who are already receiving medicaltreatment shouldn’t lose their insurance because of a definition change.”

Harmon’s solution to the problem, Senate bill 679 is now state law. Itbecomes effective January 1, 2013.

“Under this plan, anyone who has been diagnosed with autism will be ableto keep their coverage,” Harmon said. “If the diagnostic definition changes,then doctor will use the new definition to make new diagnoses.”

“Insurance coverage for a large percentage of children diagnosed withautism could be jeopardized if the proposed changes to the diagnostic criteriaare implemented, which is causing many families a great deal of distress,”said Laura Cellini, a parent advocate who worked with Senator Harmon onthe legislation. “Parents are very grateful for Senator Harmon’s efforts toensure their children will not lose insurance coverage for the medicallynecessary treatments that are helping their children.”

West Nile Virus AlertThe count of the West Nile carrying mosquito is

very high. West Nile Virus (WNV) emerged in theUnited States in the New York metropolitan areain the fall of 1999. Since then, the virus, which canbe transmitted to humans by the bite of an infectedmosquito, has quickly spread across the country.Mild cases of West Nile infections may cause aslight fever or headache. More severe infections aremarked by a rapid onset of a high fever with headand body aches, disorientation, tremors,convulsions and, in the most severe cases, paralysisor death. Usually symptoms occur from three to 14days after the bite of an infected mosquito. Personsat the highest risk for serious illness are those 50years of age or older. No specific treatment orvaccine for WNV exists. In severe cases,hospitalization may be necessary.

Leyden Township provides mosquito abatementfor the entire township. The mosquito abatementprogram includes mapping of large standing water,larvecide treatment in catch basins and mappedstanding water and adulticide spraying.

You can help! Don’t allow mosquitoes to breed.

Please look around your property for standingwater. Empty wading pools should be stored upsidedown; however, water can collect in the rims ofwading pools. Clean gutters and keep grass andweed cut short, secure covers on boats. Eliminatetires, cans, buckets, bottles and anything else thatcan hold water. Water that is allowed to stagnatefor three or four days becomes a breeding groundfor mosquitoes. Remember, if it holds water, itbreeds mosquitoes.

When outdoors between dusk and dawn, coverskin with lightly colored, loose fitting clothing anduse mosquito repellent with DEET, picaridin or oilof lemon eucalyptus. Always follow the directionson the label.

Mosquito pools in 48 communities that span allregions of suburban Cook County have testedpositive for West Nile Virus. Residents are asked tocall (708) 633-8025 to report a dead birds such asblue jay, crow or robin so it can be picked up andtested for WNV.

Most importantly, if you believe you may havebeen infected, call your doctor.

Severe storms recently left 7” of rain inNorthlake in a 5 hour period. As a result manyhomeowners had extensive damage to theirproperty. Scam artists are often quick to takeadvantage of people when a natural disasterhappens. These “storm chaser” businesses mayinclude roofers, contractors, landscapers, sidingcontractors, tree service companies, windowcontractors and even auto body repair companies.

If anyone comes to your door offering to beginwork on damage, take their information and tellthem that you will follow up if you are interestedin using them for repairs. The Better BusinessBureau advises consumers to use precaution inselecting contractors. They offer the followingtips:

• When approached by a contractor, ask forproof of licensing and bonding.

• Try to get at least three quotes fromcontractors and insist payments be made tothe company, not to any individual.

• Do not pay for the job in advance. Be wary ofany contractors that demand full payment upfront.

• Do not hire people who show up at your door

Uses for MulchThere may be different types of mulch, but they

all perform at least three basic functions: theyreduce soil water losses, suppress weeds andprotect against temperature extremes. In severalstudies, soil moisture percentages in areas thatreceived mulch were twice as high, thetemperatures of the soil were 8 to 13 degrees lessand the amount of time required to remove weedswas reduced by two thirds.

It can be used as ground covering in a flowergarden to prevent weeds. It protects the roots andbark of the trees when put around a tree base, andit can also be decorative, covering areas that maynot grow anything because of shade.

Mulch is available at no charge through PublicWorks Department. You can call to request it bedelivered to your home at 708-562-0940.

Old FlagsIf you have an old flag that is beyond repair, you

need to dispose of it properly. The best way is todeliver it to the American Legion at 241 E. NorthAvenue. There is a flag disposal box outside thehall. The American Legion will take care ofdisposing the flags in the proper manner.

• Resist high-pressure tactics such as the “gooddeal” you’ll get only if you hire them on thespot.

• Check out the company, if you are unfamiliarwith them, at www.bbb.org.

Drive Carefully: Be Aware of Childrenand Activity

As the school year has already begun, parents,pedestrians and motorists need to be aware ofchildren’s activities. Children will be walking andbiking along our city streets on their way to andfrom school. School buses will be picking up anddropping off children. Motorists are encouraged to

drive carefully and be alert to the presence of littleones crossing streets, waiting for school buses orriding bikes.

Parents are encouraged to be patient during thetime frame surrounding the drop off and pick upprocedures. Please obey “No parking” signs. Theywere put there for children’s safety. Do not blockcross walks, and pick up children in designatedareas only.

When approaching a stopped school bus fromany direction, motorists must come to a completestop and remain stopped until the bus’s stop armhas been withdrawn, the flashing red stoplights areturned off and the bus has moved on. Drivers onstreets separated by a median are not required tostop for a school bus on the opposite side of themedian. Motorists who violate this law are givetickets, which may result in a fine of $150 and a3-month suspension of your driver’s license. Asecond violation may result in a $500 fine and a 5-year suspension of your license. Also rememberthat the speed limit is 20 miles an hour Mondaythrough Friday during school hours when childrenare present.

Parents are encouraged to supervise youngchildren and to teach them to follow safety rulessuch as crossing only at crosswalks, obeying trafficsigns and lights and following the instructions ofcrossing guards and safety patrol members.Children who ride bikes should always wear ahelmet, ride in a straight line on the right side andstop at stop signs, stop lights and intersections.

Let’s be careful out there and give our childrenevery chance to have a safe and happy school year.
