TOWNSHIPS SERVE PEOPLE TOWNSHIP ELECTED OFFICIALS OUR MISSION The mission of New Trier Township is to provide leadership, advocacy and resources to benefit the physical, mental and social well being of Township residents. TOWNSHIP GUIDING PRINCIPLES The Township s primary role is to identify and address the needs of our communities. Our efforts are to create new, energetic ideas and programs while maintaining existing programs that are relevant and effective. Our intent is to support, given due diligence and fiscal accountability, programs providing services to our neighbors including youth programs; senior citizen supports; aid to persons with disabilities; food, shelter and emergency relief for people in need. We seek opportunities to meet community needs by providing assistance directly to the individuals as well as indirectly, through third-party sources/providers. The Township will pursue coalition- building with other community entities and advocate on behalf of Township residents. We believe hat people have the freedom to choose where they receive services and assistance, including those the Township provides and supports. WHOM WE SERVE Established in 1850, New Trier Township government serves more than 56,000 residents in the villages of Glencoe, Kenilworth, Wilmette and Winnetka plus portions of Glenview and Northfield, an a small unincorporated area in Winnetka. 169TH Annual Town Meeting April 10, 2018 WHAT S INSIDE Township Elected Officials and Staff Page 3 A Message from the Township Supervisor Page 4 New Trier H.S.

a message from the township SUPERVISOR Every generation faces unique challenges, ours is no exception. Since assuming the role of your Township Supervisor in May of 2017, it feels as is we ve spent each day working amid the shadows of ominous news of national health insurance debates, gun violence, racism, economic inequality, global warming and more. One could make the argument that socially our country has backslid to divisiveness many of us have not seen in decades. In an eerie sort of way, history almost seems to be repeating itself before our very eyes. The divide we face over many moral issues simply cannot be ignored. Reviewing the present social situation and planning for future community needs, your township board of trustees took action, making it abundantly clear that New Trier Township does not discriminate and opens its doors to all community members in need. Your trustees developed and approved a Welcoming Resolution at our September 2017 board meeting. In my time as a New Trier Township Trustee and now Supervisor, I ve seen the transition of local human need driven by the complexity of life, and recently by state budget crises. People are confused, sometimes angry, seeking answers and support. Interestingly the basic, yet visionary founding principals of township government still manage to meet constituent need and drive the work we do. Every week your Township Food Pantry provides essential staples, such as supplemental groceries, laundry detergent, paper goods and hygiene items to approximately 100 families. Emergency financial support is made available to people facing serious illness, job loss, family tragedy and other unforeseen circumstances. Assistance dollars also help single parents send their children to summer camp so they can work or return to school. Township agency grant funds also provide operating capital to social service organizations in our communities. These agency grantees help the disabled, elderly and working poor you often hear about on a cursory level in mainstream news. We do not deal with cursory level issues. We re offering a helping hand to neighbors in real need. Township staff and volunteers serve as a source of hope, encouragement and community to many who are alone in a chaotic world. It is also important to note that we do not do our work alone, far from it. Every weekday volunteers from Our Place New Trier, a local organization that serves the needs of young adults facing developmental challenges, help us run our food pantry operation. Generous donors quietly provide food and other staples to keep our pantry shelves stocked. Our municipal, business, clergy and civic groups rise to the occasion with service projects, simply offering help in a neighborly way as our founders did in the 1850 s. These people don t seek fanfare and publicity photos, they help because they want to share their good fortune with neighbors facing hard times. Clearly we have many critics, people that talk of disbanding Townships as outmoded or redundant. With elections on the horizon we re hearing a lot of talk about change or what to expect a few years from now. In the interim, regardless of the debate over township government, we re making a difference right now. We ll be here every day, carefully stewarding your tax dollars, serving, guiding and strengthening the communities we serve as best we can. New Trier High School Student Service Project Benefits Township Food Pantry A group of students from New Trier High School s Social Service Organization raised funds during 2016-17 through their Spring Service-Learning Initiatives. Sarah Utley, NTHS Science Faculty & Service Learning Coordinator, and students Bill Yen and Frank Zawrazky presented a check for $4,000 to Brian Leverenz, Community Service Administrator of the New Trier Township Food Pantry. We are grateful to these wonderful young people whose generosity will help us keep the food pantry shelves full during 2018. service by the numbers Township government helps people with a variety of life challenges, including food insecurity, student services, and financial assistance to defray essential living expenses. These services improve life quality and help stabilize the communities we serve. Your Township delivered the following results in fiscal 2017-18: 1,808 total visits to the Township Food Pantry took place last year. We serve an average of 88 households, feeding a monthly average of 184 family members. 333 Back to School gift cards were purchased and distributed to students who qualify for a free or reduced cost school lunch program 144 residents received financial assistance for shelter, utilities and medical needs 167 holiday dinners were distributed to Food Pantry clients 93 senior citizens received holiday gift cards for grocery purchases 67 children from 31 families received holiday gifts through the Caring Neighbors program 12 families comprising 27 persons received food deliveries as well as gift cards and children s gifts through referrals to the Glencoe Holiday Project for food, gift cards, and/or children s toys 37 families comprising 55 children received scholarships for child care expenses 232 Community Support Grants were awarded 5,410 Dial-A-Ride cab fares were subsidized 33 escorted rides to medical appointments were provided 19 Peer Jury cases were tried, resulting in 855 hours of community service Alan Goldberg New Trier Township Supervisor 4 5

The voters provided an indisputable mandate; all interested parties involved recognized that the contested election put the township in a wonderful position to move forward with neighbors helping neighbors to fulfill the mission of township government. Thank you to all the candidates both successful and unsuccessful who impressively demonstrated throughout a hard-fought campaign their willingness to offer time, insight and service to their fellow New Trier citizens. My office is firmly committed to upholding election laws and protecting the voting rights of all members of the communities we serve. We are always available to address any concerns or questions you may have about the election process. The election introduced many new people to the roles, functions and services of township government and raised awareness of the township s mission. New Trier is a re-energized township. Today we live in a world that is hungry for change and immediate answers to a wide variety of social issues and problems. For 169 years the mission of New Trier Township has been providing leadership, advocacy and supportive resources to benefit the physical, mental and social well being of Township residents. The mere fact that the township has been around for generations is thanks in large part to consistency. Living in today s world presents challenges similar to those faced by our predecessors who encountered wars, economic hardships and a litany of political struggles. Through these times New Trier Township Government has quietly, consistently provided a helping hand to neighbors in-need. We are proud of our long history; recently we opened a small library at the Township Office devoted to the preservation of historical records dating back to our founding in 1850. This project would not have come to fruition without the dedicated expertise of the historians and leaders from the Glencoe, Kenilworth, Wilmette and Winnetka Historical Societies who conducted an inventory of all of our historic records. This project has much more significance than just a museum; the Township Historical Library is a continual reminder of our mission of service, one meant to stand the test of time. Cordially, Jerome Hoynes, New Trier Township Clerk We re Here To Serve Your Township Clerk s office provides a variety of services including: Illinois disability parking placards, U.S. Passport Applications, Unincorporated Cook County Vehicle Stickers, Voter Registrations, Election Services and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. We also prepare Minutes for Township Board and Committee of the Whole meetings, making them available to the public on the website and posted in our vestibule area. Together with Deputy Clerk Sandy Forrester, we offer our services with pride. Please feel free to stop by and learn more about the services New Trier Township can provide to you and your family. A MESSAGE FROM THE TOWNSHIP ASSESSOR The year after a Triennial Reassessment always seems quiet compared to the year OF a Tri, and 2017 was no exception. There were, however, a couple of surprises along the way. During our Appeal Window to the County Assessor s Office in March, the County Assessor found a significant error affecting 389 (or 390, depending on who tells the story) NTT residences. Citing evidence at the State level, the County Assessor rejected decisions by the Board of Review lowering the Assessed Values for these properties and returned the AV s to its own 2016 figures. Unfortunately, the Notices of Assessed Value for these 389 properties reversed the figures so it looked as though the Board of Review s decisions had been accepted. This threw us off schedule, and we did not receive appeal results until late June (just as the Second 2017 Tax Bills came out). Thus July began in a hectic flurry, and the month remained very busy. This snafu also meant that our Appeal Window to the Board of Review was pushed back. Still, being early on both the Assessor s and the BOR s calendars meant that results from both our appeal periods were finalized during calendar year 2017, a big plus for residents in our opinion. Deputy Assessor Leonard Shifflett and I sent out two targeted mailings last year and will do more as appropriate. Many recent home purchasers paid significantly less than the stated Assessed Value, and we notified them of this fact and about their appeal options. We also wrote 138 owners in a condominium complex that had received new PINs because many owners received Second Installment Tax Bills that didn t properly reflect their deductions. Our goal was and is to make sure that nobody overpays because of errors at the County level. Len and I have revised the Why You Pay Property Taxes video presentation; it is now Annual Tax Calendar at a Glance. We presented it to the agents at Berkshire Hathaway in Winnetka and to members of the Wilmette Rotary Club and will present it twice annually in the township offices, once early each year and once in the fall. At least one of us always attends the Outreach Seminars that Commissioner Larry Suffredin and Board of Review Commissioners Dan Patlak and Michael Cabonargi hold annually during their respective Appeal Windows. The new Tax Law in December caused a year-end rush because the County Treasurer worked hard to help residents prepay their 2017 First Installment tax bill before December 31. Besides having bills on line early, the Treasurer extended office hours, even opening all day on Sunday, December 31. Treasurer Pappas announced that the office would not close until everyone who came in had been served no matter how long it took. We heard that the atmosphere in the office that day was upbeat, even festive. The President of the County Assessors Association went in to lend his support (and deliver cookies). Len and I are committed to helping New Trier Township residents achieve the best Assessed Values possible. We can t guarantee success, but we can guarantee our best efforts. We are also glad to help with Exemptions, Freezes, and anything else you bring us. You are welcome to call or come in anytime. Jan Churchwell, New Trier Township Assessor 6 7
service by the numbers 1,460,940 Million Awarded 49 Different Programs Funded 36 Social Service agencies supported A MESSAGE FROM THE TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE I am proud to serve this Township as Trustee along with my colleagues on the board and our dedicated staff. Since the election one year ago, my colleagues and I have been pleased and humbled by the opportunity to serve the residents in the Township. New Trier Township has provided me the opportunity to Make a Difference Right Now, the theme of this year s annual meeting. In the past year I have had the privilege of hearing from twelve of our agency-partners as a Trustee Liaison to the Money Follows the Person Committee. I have been struck by the passion and efficacy of our area not-for-profit agencies serving residents with developmental differences and helping them to live enriched, productive lives within the community. At least seven local non-for-profits serving predominantly New Trier residents would close or significantly reduce services without Township funding. These grant programs make a positive difference right now in our resident s lives. In predominantly affluent areas like ours, it is easy to assume that everyone is doing well, but that is not always the case. Some Township residents are working for minimum wage or working multiple part-time jobs. Others are seniors living on fixed incomes or individuals struggling with job loss, disability, disease, addiction, divorce, death, desertion, and domestic violence. More than 232 residents received financial assistance last year, and the Township s food pantry alone serves an average of 88 households monthly. New Trier Township helps our neighbors in hard times, whether it be economic, mental, physical, or social, we serve with the dignity that each citizen deserves. As one resident wrote to the Board, Township staff provide expertise and compassion when residents like her encounter crises, in accordance with its founding principle of neighbor-helping neighbor. The new board had accomplishments in several important areas this year. The Township reinstated mental health as qualifying disorders in determining community support grant eligibility, passed a welcoming ordinance clarifying what Township services are available to residents, updated our anti-sexual harassment policies, and have begun a major overhaul of communications efforts. Transparency has been a priority of the new board. The Township now posts board meeting materials on the website each month. The Township website is undergoing a redesign to be more user-friendly and mobile ready. The redesigned website is expected to launch in the summer of 2018. The Township is also making better use of social media to communicate with residents, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and SoundCloud. We hope to make use of e-government tools in the future, making it easier for residents to interact with the Township. The new Township e-newsletter, The Dispatch, now provides timely information about available services and important deadlines. We reassessed our agency funding levels given changes to resident services and have increased citizen outreach by participating in community programs and civic organizations like Rotary Clubs, Leagues of Women Voters, and Chambers of Commerce. I d like to share a comment from a woman who had received financial and food support while a student in New Trier Township. She wrote: The opportunity to live in Wilmette provided my sister and I with opportunities we would have never had. I am now a teacher and my sister is graduating law school. The trajectory of our family s lives have been changed because of assistance programs like this available in affluent neighborhoods What you are doing changes lives it matters! I am proud that we are Making a Difference Right Now, but I am even more excited to know that the work we do today will have a lasting impact on the future. Gail Schnitzer Eisenberg, New Trier Township Trustee FEATURED PROGRAM: YOUTH SERVICES OF GLENVIEW NORTHBROOK Township Grant Provides Mental Health Counseling for Youth and Their Families Studies by the National Institute for Mental Health revealed that nearly 20% of youth have a diagnosable mental illness. That equates to approximately 7,300 local children that require mental health support. Illinois ranks third in the nation amongst states making the largest cuts to mental health programs. Considering there are 3.2 million children in Illinois, that funding decrease makes a definitive impact on the availability of mental health care for low/moderate income families throughout the state. Local non-profit agency Youth Services, became a first-time New Trier Township grantee after their acquisition of Northfield-based ANGLES, an organization focused on sexual health education in north suburban schools and support/education for the LGBTQ community. Amy O Leary, Executive Director of Youth Services shared that her agency has seen exponential growth in demand for youth counseling services. We are one of a few area agencies that offers a true sliding scale based on what a family is able to pay. We ll accept as little as $1 when a family is able to display the financial need. Our prevention groups and summer programming also continue to grow as a result of cutbacks. With mostly lower-income families using these programs, the demand just continues to grow as their ability to get services elsewhere becomes more limited. New Trier Township s Mental Health Committee and your Board of Trustees acknowledges the need to stand by agencies offering these vital services to our township youth and their families. Counseling, crisis intervention and prevention programs help children grow up healthy and hopeful. Strengthened families make the communities we serve increasingly stable. We feel that investing grant dollars in programs like those offered by Youth Services permits us to make a difference-right now. COMMUNITY SUPPORT GRANTS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES Since its launch in 2007, the Community Supports Grant program has provided financial relief to numerous families throughout the township who face formidable expenses related to the care of a disabled individual. The political and financial uncertainty facing our nation, coupled with a state budget deficit and limited private funding, have created a tenuous environment for many community members across the North Shore. In the last fiscal year we approved 61 additional grants, the largest increase since fiscal 2013-14. This unique support grant program has no age or income restrictions. The only stipulation is that funds received are used to offset caregiving expenses of the disabled person. Children or adults with a doctor issued medical diagnosis are qualified to apply. Eligible conditions including but not limited to autism spectrum disorders: developmental and/or cognitive delay, mental disorders and multiple impairments qualify an individual for grant assistance. Additionally, residents with certain diagnosed compromising physical impairments are also eligible to apply for the Community Support Grants program. Since doing away with the previous lottery system of grant awards in fiscal year 2012-13, all applicants who meet the residency and disability criteria receive a grant. In 2017-18, 232 qualified resident applicants each received $745 towards covering the costs related to living with disability.

FY 2017-18 FUNDED AGENCIES/GRANT AWARDS Your Township Government works closely with numerous social service agencies throughout the North Shore. Requests for funding are evaluated buy advisory committees of resident volunteers who hold hearings to consider grant requests. Advisory committees along with their trustee representative compile and present funding recommendations to the New Trier Township Board of Trustees for review and approval before grants are awarded. To be considered eligible for grant awards, an agency must be a non-profit organization that provides direct services to a significant number of Township residents. Additionally, grantees must display a firm sense of mission, have an appropriate infrastructure in place, ensuring accountability and effectiveness to its clients and funders. Agencies must satisfy one or more of the Township identified funding priorities including seniors, youth, economically challenged families and persons with disability. This process has proven effective in allowing resident volunteers to responsibly steward the allocation of tax dollars on behalf of their fellow residents in a thoughtful, transparent, and accountable fashion.
