Elgin Board of Health
July 17, 2000
MISCELLANEOUS
The Board recognized Laura Anderko, Assistant Professor at Northern Illinois University School
of Nursing. Ms. Anderko as an advocate of future citizens of Elgin, made an appeal to the Board
of Health regarding some environmental concerns that she and neighboring property owners
west of Elgin have concerning property to be annexed to and developed in Elgin. Three major
concerns were building on a wetland area, hazardous dumping of raw sewage and other waste
products and spillage of petroleum products from underground storage tanks. Ms Anderko stated
that not enough is being done to ensure that future homes sites will be free from toxins as a result
of the dumping that took place on the property for many years. She requested that the Board of
Health make a recommendation to the City Council requesting that annexation of the property
be delayed until the threat of contamination that this property poses can be resolved.
After some discussion and review of the information provided by Ms. Anderko, Mr. Stuart made
rak the following motion. That the Board of Health recommends further discussions regarding the
Bowes Creek annexation be tabled until environmental testing has been conducted or a
mitigation plan is designed for that area. The motion was seconded by Mr. Whitcomb. Motion
was carried on a vote of 6 Yes 0 No. Dr. Hirsch stated that he would draft a memo to the City
Council.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 8:12 p.m.
