FROM CONSOLIDATION MANDATE OF PUBLIC ACT 99 -0006
WHEREAS, Public Act 99 -006 requires 9 -1 -1 centers serving communities with a population less than
25,000 to consolidate; and
WHEREAS, the Deerfield 9 -1 -1 Center, serving the communities of Deerfield, Bannockburn, and
Riverwoods, has for years been a consolidated center serving a night -time population of more than 24,000
and a daytime population nearly twice that size with up -to -date 9 -1 -1 technology; and
WHEREAS, consolidation of the Deerfield 9 -1 -1 Center poses a threat to public safety, is economically
unreasonable, and is a waste of public resources.

supports the Deerfield 9 -1 -1 Center's request for a waiver of the consolidation mandate of Public Act 99 -006
