Title
Ordinance proposing the dissolution of the Lake Bluff Mosquito Abatement District (LBMAD).
Staff Summary
• Two mosquito abatement districts exist in Lake County. One of them, the LBMAD, possesses no real property, currently contracts out for services, and generates revenue via a tax levy.
• At the January 28, 2021 Financial and Administrative Committee, staff provided background regarding the item and discussed the general process for dissolution.
• This “Proposing Ordinance,” uses the authority granted from State Statute 55 ILCS 5/5-44025 to initiate the dissolution process and require that the District complete an audit detailing claims, receipts, inventory of property, and debts. The audit will be reported to the County Board, and at a subsequent meeting staff will return with a separate “Authorizing Ordinance” under 55 ILCS 5/5-44025, which will initiate the next steps in the District’s dissolution.
• The dissolution process, following Board action on the Authorizing Ordinance, is approximately six months.
