(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a special Thursday afternoon meeting, the Clearlake City Council will consider applicants for a vacant council seat. The council will meet at 3 p.m. Thursday, June 6, in the council chambers at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive. On May 9, Mayor Nick Bennett resigned as he prepared to move to South Dakota, as Lake County News has reported. At a May 13 special meeting, the council directed City Clerk Melissa Swanson to advertise the vacancy for appointment and accept applications with a June 4 deadline. The city has received six applications for the seat, which has a term ending in November 2020. Applicants are Cristina Azanza, the founder of a nonprofit, Azanza Inc.; David Claffey, a marketing and communications professional who serves on the city’s marketing committee; Desserrie Shaw, who has experience as a board member and president of the Konocti County Water District; Erin McCarrick, who owns cannabis companies Clearlake Ventures and Cara Farms and a consulting business, Madrone Strategies; Russell Perdock, the city’s former mayor who resigned last year to pursue the police chief’s job and now is director of community integration for Adventist Health Clear Lake; and Pattie Duke, a registered nurse case manager. Swanson’s report to the council said staff is recommending that the council interview the six applicants at Thursday’s meeting. The candidate they pick will be approved for the appointment by motion, majority vote and resolution. The appointee would then be given the oath and seated at the June 13 meeting, Swanson said.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2019/06/06/six-tips-to-overcome-age-discrimination-at-work/#6df609b7390e
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age discrimination may be against the U.S. labor laws, but I’ll bet you or someone you know has been on the wrong side of this form of discrimination in the workplace. In fact, nearly two out of three workers aged 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job, according to an AARP workplace survey. So let’s face it: It’s real, and you need to know how to deal with it. As a career coach, I know firsthand that many professionals feel one of their greatest career challenges after age 40 is age discrimination. To help overcome this obstacle, I’ve developed several tips that have helped people of a certain vintage successfully navigate the job market.)

Your request for the records referenced above is respectfully denied per Section 5 ILCS 140/2, Sec. 7 Exemptions (1) (1) “Minutes of meetings of public bodies closed to the public as provided in the Open Meetings Act until the public body makes the minutes available to the public under Section 2.06 of the Open Meetings Act.” The Illinois Election Code allows the public release of statements of candidacy when an individual chooses to run for an elected office. While the applicants in this case are not running for election, but rather are seeking to be appointed to a vacancy on the City Council, after reviewing State statutes, we believe it would be permissible to release the names and addresses of the applicants in response to your request, and that information is attached.” Of course, those who do not want anyone to see the documents support Barrett-Hagen’s denial.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Documents obtained from Murray State University challenge former Southern Illinois University President Randy Dunn’s claim that he did nothing to “fast-track” the hiring of the son of a former SIU trustee while president of MSU. The documents, obtained by The Southern via the Kentucky Open Records Act, show Dunn signed a hiring process exemption, also known as a search waiver, to hire Tyson Manering — son of former SIU Trustee Donna Manering — as an international recruiter at MSU. The exemption allowed Murray State to hire Tyson Manering outside of its standard search and hiring protocols. Generally, filling a position like Manering’s would have required forming a search committee to vet applicants, interview top candidates, and collectively make a hire, MSU policy indicates. In this case, Manering was selected directly, via the exemption, 12 days before the international recruiter job was ever publicly posted, and more than two weeks before he submitted his online job application, records show.)

http://www.wheatonchamber.com/news/details/news-release-01-12-2012-237
(FROM THE ARTICLE: DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin invites residents to attend a District 4 Candidate Forum on Tuesday, January 17, where 11 candidates seeking the nomination to fill the board vacancy, will have the opportunity to address the County Board members and the public. “I am delighted that so many residents are interested in serving on the County Board and am so far very impressed with the candidates’ credentials. I urge District 4 residents to join myself and the County Board members during the candidate forum to learn more about the applicants,” he said. The Candidate Forum will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, at the Auditorium of the JTK Administration Building, 421 N. County Farm Road, Wheaton. Following the public forum, Cronin will select a nominee by the January 24 County Board meeting.

The District 4 vacancy was created in December when County Board member Debra Olson resigned to accept a position as executive director of the DuPage Homeownership Center. Cronin accepted applications from District 4 residents for one month. The deadline was Jan. 10.)

https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2019/may/31/how-get-your-resume-noticed/495709/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Highlight your strengths and what is most relevant to the potential employer. Place the strongest and most relevant points first where they are more apt to be read in order to hook the reader. Match the needs of the hiring company. Review job postings online and in the newspapers for positions that interest you. Each listing will almost always have a brief blurb about the company and the position available. Read the job description closely, and use the key words listed in these ads, and match them to the bullet points in your resume. Tailor your resume to the position. Be positive. For instance, if you feel your past graduation date will subject you to age discrimination, leave it off the resume. Focus on the duties that do support your objective and curtail or omit irrelevant personal information like your race.)

— Chicago’s Immigrant Population Down By 30,000 Over The Past Decade – Esther Yoon-Ji Kang
https://www.wbez.org/shows/wbez-news/chicagos-immigrant-population-down-by-30000-over-the-past-decade/1cb8eaa9-a492-40ea-895d-16e227765f56
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Displacement and immigration enforcement are like a two-headed dragon for our families,” Rios-Sierra said. The lack of affordable housing in her neighborhood, plus landlords that require background checks and fingerprinting, have forced out her Latino neighbors from the community, she said. LSNA is focusing its efforts on Hermosa, the neighborhood just west of Logan Square, where a lot of displaced residents have moved, Rios-Sierra said. “There is still a strong immigrant stronghold [in Hermosa], and we’re trying to maintain that.” She added that the loss of immigrant populations also results in a loss of culture. “It’s really sad to see residents moving in who are upset about an ice cream truck making noise in the summer, or people having their quinceañeras in their backyard,” Rios-Sierra said. “Those are things that really celebrate who we are, so it’s really hard to see people come in and dislike it and complain and call the police.” Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum, said that the drop in the immigrant population is a trend that deserves attention, but that the numbers are not particularly alarming. “This is 31,000 over 10 years,” Puente said. “It’s not 31,000 in a year. It’s like 3.000 people per year.” Puente attributed the decrease, particularly among Mexican immigrants, to a slowdown in migrants coming to Chicago from Mexico, which has had a stronger economy in recent years than it did in the 1990s. She also pointed out that the decline could be a sign of other trends, such as the upward mobility of Mexican immigrants who arrived in the 1990s, gained an economic foothold in the city, and then took their families to the suburbs. In addition, Puente said Chicago is no longer the sole point of entry for immigrants, as it was in previous decades. “They go directly to Skokie. They don’t stop in Chinatown anymore,” Puente said. “They go directly to Palatine, Carpentersville, Waukegan, Elgin and Aurora; they don’t go to Pilsen and Little Village anymore.” The Metropolitan Planning Council’s report showed that Chicago’s immigrant population decline is higher among less-educated immigrants, those without a high school diploma. The number of Asian immigrants has increased, although they make up a considerably smaller portion of the total population.)

Many job seekers make the mistake of revealing their age by including their college graduation date on their resume, says Ward. The best approach is to simply leave it off. That may not solve the problem, of course. In AARP’s survey, 44% of respondents who had applied for a new job in the past two years reported being asked their age or graduation year. For tips on how to answer that and other ageist job interview questions, check out this story.)

ASSOCIATIONS NOW
— MANAGING AN UNDERPERFORMER – Maureen Glass (DIERSEN: To get rid of me, my Democrat superiors in the federal government always painted me as being and underperformer. That is why they were furious when I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

FED SMITH
— 4 Emotions New Federal Retirees May Experience – Brandon Christy (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, to get rid of me, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal government subjected me to a hostile work environment.) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_work_environment). They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran.) 
https://www.fedsmith.com/2019/06/03/4-emotions-new-federal-retirees-may-experience/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Relief provides a feeling of reassurance and relaxation once anxiety and stress have been released. Since we were young we have experienced good times and bad. Life has been full of uncertainty. The cloud of doubt as to whether or not you will make it to retirement is no longer lingering over your head. Instead, your time is yours to enjoy and spend how you see fit. This is your time. Your year. Your moment. Make the most of it. The transition from federal employee to federal retiree is not an easy one. It takes time and patience to start all over again. Essentially you are recreating yourself. Hang in there. Be aware of the emotional obstacles that you may face along the way. Enjoy the ride anyway.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: ACT, which calls itself the nation’s largest national security grass-roots organization, advocates for upholding Western values and combating the threat of radical Islam, according to the organization’s website. But the Southern Poverty Law Center put the group on its list of domestic hate groups “because it pushes wild anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, denigrates American Muslims and deliberately conflates mainstream and radical Islam.” Greg Padovani, chairman of the Veterans Memorial Committee of Arlington Heights, said he received about a dozen complaints via phone and email about the ACT chapter’s inclusion in the parade and for leaflets marchers were handing out along the parade route. Padovani said he and other committee members investigated the group’s website, but could not find anything espousing hate or violence.)

WORKFORCE
— When Job Applicants Lie: Implementing Policies to Protect Your Company Employers should implement a clear and uniform policy about the consequences of lying or providing false information on an application. – Joshua Y. Joel, Natasha L. Wilson (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, everyone seeking or holding any kind of government or political job or office should be subjected to a comprehensive and extensive background investigation.)
https://www.workforce.com/2019/06/01/when-job-applicants-lie-implementing-policies-to-protect-your-company/

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent study revealed that 85 percent of employers have caught applicants lying on their résumés or job applications. The most common lies involve modifying dates of employment, falsifying credentials, training or degrees, inflating prior earnings, or hiding a criminal history. Throughout the past several years, there have been several stories of prominent executives and CEOs, across many industries, whose careers were cut short for lying on their job applications or résumés. What should human resources professionals do when they discover that an employee has lied on their job application or résumé? How can employers avoid liabilities stemming from application falsification? What are the legal consequences for employers? Preemptive Measures The first step employers should take to avoid potential pitfalls is to implement a clear and uniform policy about the consequences of providing false information on an application. For example, a brief disclaimer can be included near the signature line of the employment application, in which the applicant affirms and agrees that providing false, misleading, or incomplete information on an application, in a résumé, or during the interview process is grounds for disqualification from employment or termination if hired. The disclaimer should also expressly waive any liability for the employer if the applicant is not hired or is terminated for providing false information. More importantly, employers should be consistent in enforcing this policy. Consistency can protect the employer from legal liabilities — and countless headaches — down the road. To accomplish this, employers should document every applicant’s receipt of the policy. If a background investigation reveals that an applicant or employee clearly lied on his or her application, the applicant should be rejected or the employee terminated immediately. If the employer only suspects a falsification, HR should engage in a fair and impartial investigation and document its findings. Depending on the results, disciplinary action should be taken. When assessing an applicant’s background, employers should focus on convictions and not arrest records. Otherwise, applicants may be unfairly prejudiced in the hiring process based on unsupported criminal allegations. Conducting Pre-Employment Background Checks Recent federal and state laws have presented hiring professionals with new compliance challenges when conducting a background screening. For example, while there are no federal laws requiring home health agencies to conduct criminal background checks or disqualify applicants from employment based on the results, there are 41 states that require these agencies to conduct criminal background checks. Those requirements in those 41 states vary widely, including when the background check must be completed, what sources of information must be checked, which positions require background checks, and which convictions, if any, result in disqualification from employment. The benefits of conducting criminal background checks in the hiring process often outweigh these challenges, especially in fields — such as health care or government contracting — where a failure to conduct screenings can result in hefty consequences. While many employers may prefer to use social media to research an applicant’s background, employers should exercise caution when using an applicant’s protected characteristics (like race, religion, age or gender) as a basis for refusing employment. Understanding the legal landscape as it relates to information an employer may request of an applicant is also key. For example, some states have laws that prohibit employers from requesting an applicant’s social media username and password. Additionally, some states have legislation referred to as “Ban the Box,” which prohibits employers from asking about criminal history on a job application. Unforeseen Benefits of a Consistent Policy In most cases, implementing a strong application falsification policy can result in some unexpected positive benefits. For example, many states have laws prohibiting employers from revoking job offers based on the discovery of a misdemeanor or other types of conviction with no relevance to the applicant’s suitability for the position. Nonetheless, even though the employer cannot revoke the offer because of the conviction itself, the employee’s misrepresentation about the existence of the conviction is grounds for revocation. For example, in a Pennsylvania case, the plaintiff only disclosed two convictions — stalking and harassment — on his application. But a background investigation revealed that he had pleaded guilty to eight additional crimes, including public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and drug crimes. The company revoked his offer. The district court determined that the company did not violate Pennsylvania’s criminal background check statute because the termination was not for the employees’ conviction, but his lie about it. Importantly, the district court relied heavily on the company’s implementation and communication of a consistent policy forbidding applicants from lying on their applications. In a similar vein, companies faced with discriminatory failure to hire claims have successfully argued that the later discovery of falsified job applications is a complete defense against the claims. In other words, if the company would not have hired the employee had it known of the applicant’s lie, the applicant cannot later claim that he or she was not hired because of a protected characteristic. Here too, courts look closely at the company’s fair, equitable and consistent enforcement of its application falsification policy to establish that the company’s decision was not motivated by discriminatory intent. Another benefit of maintaining a strong background check policy is that it can absolve or limit the company of liabilities down the road if the employee is terminated. Oftentimes, in the course of litigation over wrongful termination or discrimination claims, exhaustive background checks into the plaintiff reveal criminal histories previously unknown. While an employer may still be on the hook for some damages if the decision to terminate was indeed discriminatory, the Supreme Court has held that a reward of back pay can be cut off completely — and the plaintiff’s potential damages significantly limited — if the employee’s wrongdoing was so severe that the company would have terminated the employee in any event if it had been uncovered. As a result, employers can potentially limit their exposure to liability in later wrongful termination claims by consistently enforcing a no-tolerance policy for application falsification. While not every application falsification results in a high-profile CEO or executive separation, the problem is common across industries. HR professionals should take care to review their company’s job application process with the help of legal counsel to implement a fair and equitable policy that is compliant with state and federal regulations and train interviewers and hiring professionals of what they can and cannot ask. The fix can be quite easy, and the benefits are great.)

Wheaton’s failure to require the developer to install six instead of only two  storm sewer inlets and to properly connect four subterranean drainage lines to the city’s storm sewer system has a) forced me to pay for all nine of my home’s downspouts to be directly connected to the city’s storm sewer system and b) to spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to properly connect two subterranean drainage lines, to install many storm sewer inlets, and to install lengthy French drains. As time goes on, a) more and more and more surface storm water and subterranean storm water flows onto and into my lot, b) more and more and more often my massive lot drainage improvements are overloaded, and c) more and more and more often that my sump pump runs. The cul-de-sac is a watershed area that was formerly used as a septic field for homes on the west side of Golf Lane and the north side of Frazier Court. Of course, the aforesaid dramatically depresses home values in the cul-de-sac.)

— Study recommends Wheaton zoning overhaul for Roosevelt Road corridor – Katlyn Smith
https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190529/study-recommends-wheaton-zoning-overhaul-for-roosevelt-road-corridor
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some neighbors say the study extends into what really is the west, more residential corridor of Roosevelt and oppose a proposal to loosen zoning restrictions to attract retail developments. . .Nearly 30 residents spoke out on the study this week with an expansive list of concerns. Martha Bradley, who lives on Golf Lane, stressed the importance of improving pedestrian access to the downtown. “We are a residential city, and our city planning should reflect that,” she said. “A forward-thinking city understands that pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and bike lanes are what attract new homebuyers, keep residents, increases equity for current homeowners and subsequently increases city revenue based on increased home value and an increased tax base.” Nancy Flannery, the chairwoman of the city’s historic preservation commission, worries about the possible demolition of another Jarvis Hunt-designed house, now converted into offices at 534 Roosevelt. Built in 1896, the house was one of the first summer cottages constructed for members of the private Chicago Golf Club. “Why are we letting our history be taken away from us?” she asked. Mayor Phil Suess said the city intends to hold a second planning session devoted to the East Roosevelt Road Corridor study to have consultants answer questions from council members and continue taking public comment. The study could pave the way for amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances. “This is the start of a process,” he said. “There’s no timetable associated with this process. There’s no deadline.”)
