Title
Joint resolution authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the County of Lake (through the Lake County Health Department) and the Village of Lakemoor pertaining to the delegation of enforcement authority for Onsite Waste Treatment System provisions in the Ports of Sullivan Lake.
Staff Summary
* The Ports of Sullivan is approximately 40 acres, developed as a seasonal recreational park during the 1980's permitted by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
* The site housed many recreational vehicles and non-permanent type structures which addressed their sanitary sewer service needs via holding tanks.
* In 1987, the IDPH became aware of significant code compliance issues that were causing enforcement difficulties as the area began to be used more for full-time residential uses.

* The Village of Lakemoor is desirous of enforcing specified health codes of LCHD to effectuate code enforcement with the intent of preventing environmental harm as well as to reduce or minimize potential negative health impacts on the residents and the surrounding area.
