FOR THE 1996-1997 ENVIRONMENTAL MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT PROGRAM BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS, that Richard B. Helwig, City Manager, be and is hereby authorized and directed to accept the proposal and execute a Service Guarantee and Agreement on behalf of the City of Elgin of Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc . for the 1996-1997 Environmental Mosquito Management Program, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. s/ Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly, Mayor Presented: March 27 , 1996 Adopted: March 27 , 1996 Omnibus Vote : Yeas 7 Nays 0 Attest: s/ Dolonna Mecum Dolonna Mecum, City Clerk Controlling Mosquitoes The Problem and the Solution The Problem: For many years, the battle has been waged against the ravages of the mosquito. This persistent insect almost caused building of the Panama Canal to fail when thousands were infected by mosquito-borne yellow fever. Many more have died in other parts of the world from malaria and the dengue virus. In this nation, mosquitoes have infected many people with encephalitis viruses such as St. Louis (SLE), LaCrosse (LAC), Western(WEE) and Eastern (EEE) which can cause death or permanent disability. Mosquito-borne diseases cause more than a million deaths each year around the world. Closer to home, the Chicago metropolitan area in 1975 experienced the largest outbreak of SLE ever reported in the United States, with 47 deaths, 578 cases of the illness and another 700 suspected cases in a six county area. Each year, the dangers of SLE are closely monitored and in 1995 the Illinois Department of Public Health warned of an outbreak after 11 cases were suspected and two confirmed. What's more, everyone has had the experience of being driven indoors or retreating from a picnic in the park because the mosquitoes decided it was time to feast. Even our dogs face the threat of death from heartworms which are spread by mosquitoes. Simply put, mosquitoes continue to be a major health and comfort problem. The Solution: An integrated pest management (IPM) approach to mosquito control and the use of new technologies offer much hope in reducing the mosquito population and with it, the threat to public health and discomfort. This multi-step process is a systematic approach to control all phases of mosquito development and infestation. There are four parts to the process: 1. General Services - Mosquito breeding sites--drainage ditches, swamps, areas of low or standing water are surveyed and mapped. The objective is to define, categorize and measure the total number of larval development sites. This information is then used by Clarke personnel to develop resource requirement planning, operational scheduling, larval site history and adult mosquito population monitoring. In addition, a 24 hour toll free hotline is maintained as well as the most comprehensive insurance coverage available in the industry. 2. Surveillance and Monitoring - The distribution and density of mosquito species in relation to human populations are defined in order to control the threat of disease or nuisance. In many communities, proven brood prediction methods, combined with the use of light traps to measure mosquito population levels, facilitate steps to prevent major infestations. 3. Larval Control - The environmentally sensitive control of larvae in their breeding sites prevents the development of adult mosquitoes, which can travel as far as 15 miles to invade a populated area. These proven larvicides do their job against the mosquito, and then biodegrade rapidly, leaving no accumulation in the soil, water or air. All treatments meet sound environmental standards. 4.Adult Control -Adult mosquito control often becomes necessary during encephalitis alerts or periods when the nuisance factor becomes excessive. This can follow periods of heavy rainfall which cause new mosquito broods to hatch. During these periods of excessive annoyance, Ultra-Low-Volume cold aerosol misting can be used to reduce the mosquito population in residential areas. In addition, adult mosquitoes can be eliminated in high-use recreational areas where they tend to congregate, such as parks, golf courses and baseball diamonds. The use of these areas thereby increases, providing a greater economic advantage to many communities. The process today includes the use of advanced technologies: 1. Computers - to assimilate data on breeding sites, map and provide strategic information of just about any community, and plan and develop resource requirements; 2. Helicopters--using state-of-the-art the Global Positioning System(GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) to identify mosquito breeding sites and then zero-in on treatment areas; 3. Teletrac System- to instantaneously dispatch and monitor control vehicles. These systems, coupled with Clarke's highly trained staff, provide your community with an unsurpassed level of service. The Results of a Good Program: A well-planned, integrated approach to controlling mosquitoes will help stop the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. The systematic approach will also enable us to enjoy the outdoors in comfort and it will help us maximize the use of our recreational areas. These are results we all want to see as we wage the battle against the mosquito. The following pages of our proposal detail how you can control mosquitoes in your community. Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc. is pleased to present these solutions to a very serious problem. Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc.

OPTIONAL CONTROL MEASURES CATCH BASIN LARVICIDING The open street catch basin must be considered one of the primary larval development areas within a community for Culex pipiens. This species prefers stagnant, polluted water for its aquatic development. Retrospective studies following outbreaks of SLE,have suggested Culex development in catch basins as a major contribution factor. Development in catch basins generally begin in late June once the water has had time to warm up. It is recommended a minimum of uliOO applications occas n&in= •• — • •- - • )to all open street catch basins, inlets and manholes. This is necessary to suppress Culex development during the key SLE amplification period. Right hand drive trucks were used to place Altosid bfigeets, an insect growth regulator in each catch basin. Once larvae are exposed to Altosid, development is upset and the immature mosquito does not successfully make it to the adult stage. We recommend one treatment of the open street catch basin. The additional cost to your base program would be$9,952.40. ADULT MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT Residential Spraying: The City will retain the authorization for ULV applications by either a city-wide basis or by section.

Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Proposal for 1996-97 Mosquito Control Program PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information for the acceptance of a proposal for mosquito control, submitted by Clarke Outdoor Spraying Company, for the 1996-97 seasons . BACKGROUND rew The intent of the proposed program is similar to what Clarke has provided the City for over 20 years and to cities and townships throughout the Fox Valley. The targeted mosquito management service provides control of the mosquito at the larval stage in an environmentally sound manner. Optional adult mosquito control measures are available for use in parks, special events or in case of an encephalitis outbreak. Larval control includes : Three complete inspections of up to 127 sites, and a minimum of six targeted inspections of up to 74 sites for monitoring larvae; two helicopter prehatch applications for up to 135 acres for floodwater mosquito control and prescription larval control. Through surveillance and monitoring of standing water and the use of light traps to measure mosquito population levels, along with proven brood prediction methods, larval controls are initiated at the most effective time. This program is provided for the Kane County portion of Elgin. The Cook County portion is serviced by the Northwest Mosquito Abatement District. With the exception of adult mosquito management and the treatment of catch basins, which is not provided in the Kane County portion of Elgin, this program is comparable with the Northwest Mosquito Abatement eft District's program. Proposal for 1996-97 Mosquito Control Program March 6, 1996 Page 2 elw Clarke Outdoor Spraying Company is the only vendor in this e area providing the level of service required in the proposed contract, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of this program will be $20,769 .00 for 1996 with an option for the 1997 season that is presently quoted at $22,016 .00*. The amount budgeted for the 1996 season was $21,000 (010-2906-736 .45-03) . The actual cost of the 1995 program amounted to $20,520.65. LEGAL IMPACT None.
