Title
Joint resolution reducing the County Diamond/Sylvan Lake sewer connection fee from $9,110 to $4,555 per residential customer equivalent (RCE) for the Transitional Care of Lake County (TCLC), also known as Transitional Care of Mundelein, facility.
Staff Summary
* TCLC is proposing to construct a 185-unit skilled nursing facility in Mundelein, Illinois, which will replace the current Winchester House operation.
* The new TCLC Mundelein facility will be located within Lake County's Diamond/Sylvan Lake sewer service area, which due to its residential area, has a connection fee rate of $9,110 per residential customer equivalent (RCE).
* As the County Board knows, Winchester House is a Medicaid facility with very low margins and it is expected that the replacement facility in Mundelein will also have a significant number of Medicaid clients.
* Based on a fee reduction request and a desire to support the replacement of the Winchester House operation, it is proposed that the sewer connection fee rate for the TCLC facility be lowered from $9,110 to $4,555 per RCE, a 50 percent reduction.
* This resolution reduces the Lake County sewer connection fee, to be imposed upon the TCLC Winchester House replacement facility, from $9,110 to $4,555 per RCE.
* The proposed sewer connection fee reduction, if approved, will result in an approximate sanitary sewer connection fee of $417,182.50.
