Old Business — Jerry Dudgeon and Jeff Wilkins presented information concerning the Northwest Water<br />
Planning Area (NWPA) & Water Planning Area Group to the committee. The purpose of the formation of<br />
this group is to provide regional/sub regional planning for issues relating to water supply with the<br />
designated NWPA. The initial focus of the group is summarized into 10 goals. A geographic delineation<br />
was provided. The Council of Government includes: Lake County Municipal League; McHenry County<br />
Council of Government; Northwest Municipal Conference; Barrington Area Council of Government;<br />
Metro West Council of Government; Kane, Kendall, McHenry, DeKaIb & Lake Counties. There is a nonrefundable<br />
$500 formation fee per Executive Member. Included in the packet was a letter from Tom<br />
Weisner, Mayor of Aurora whose concluding remarks are worth including: “Top-down decisions<br />
imposed by the legislature or by authorized organizations whose leadership is neither local nor elected<br />
are not the answer to the challenges we face. Local entities who supply water to their residents, who<br />
have the greatest concentration of expertise in the water supply field and who invest billions of dollars<br />
in necessary water infrastructure should have the primary role of cooperatively planning for the future<br />
water supply of this region. We are aware of the need and we accept the responsibility.”<br />
