1. NOTES FOR TECHNICAL WORKING GROUP MEETING #3
 
The Ely Chapter’s Technical Working Group gathered on November 5, 2007, to hear from Richard Kaye and Mary Mechenes of the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES).

Richard first introduced the group to the IDES “umbrella” web site, http://ILworkinfo.com and showed us the information available under the “Workforce Info Center” link. One category is the Local Area Unemployment Statistics or “LAUS” data. Richard reviewed the IDES’s definitions of “Labor Force” and “Employed.” To be counted in the former group, one must be “ready, willing, and able” to work. To be counted as “employed,” one need have worked only one (1) hour during the “base week” when the survey is conducted. (The “base week” is the week in the month with the fewest number of holidays.) Clearly, the 1-hour criterion raises the question of just what share of those counted as “employed” work less than 20 hours (let alone 40 hours) per week, and by extension, what share are arguably “under employed.” Richard emphasized that the unemployment rate varies substantially by community across the Chicago region. The IDES data base contains a history of unemployment rates of more than 30 years for each Illinois county and community.

Richard then turned the floor over to Mary Mechenes for the “marquee event,” a discussion of the job counts published in IDES’s publication, Where Workers Work (WWW). WWW is an annual publication now available on the IDES website, http://lmi.ides.state.il.us/ (click on the “Where Workers Work” link in the “publications” column on the right side of the window). The 2006 issue is the most recent. A draft of the tables for the 2007 issue is now under review.

Ms. Mechenes heads the division of IDES that is responsible for what is called the “ES-202” data. The ES-202 data base contains information taken from the forms that employers provide when they pay their quarterly unemployment insurance (UI) premiums. The data records also contain a code for the employers’ industry and county and sub-county location codes. Ms. Mechenes and her staff compile the data into tables that appear in Where Workers Work. The tables report total job counts by industry for each zip code in the city of Chicago and for most municipalities in suburban Cook County and the 5 other “collar” counties. They are helpful in forecasting the demand for office and industrial space and commuters’ “demand for travel” to the various zip codes and municipalities.

The job count data are NOT available for communities in counties outside the old 6-County Chicago SMSA, even though the ES-202 database covers all employers throughout the state. But, to protect confidentiality, a community must have a job base that is large enough to permit a single employer to be “lost in the crowd.” So, if you want job counts for DeKalb, you’re out of luck. Further, some communities within the 6 counties are so small that they are grouped together under such headings as “Elgin Misc.,” or “North Suburban Misc.”

Although the ES-202 data base includes federal, state, and local government employees, WWW reports private sector job counts only. Federal employees are covered under the federal government’s own unemployment insurance system, and IDES receives data for a particular employing federal agency from the agency itself or from the BLS. State and local government employees are covered under the State’s UI system.

Like any data base, WWW has its issues. A new employer’s industry and address are recorded when the employer is “entered into the system” for the first time. Apparently, this step is NOT straight forward and is prone to error. Industry codes are assigned (beginning in 2001, Illinois employers have been classified according to the NAICS coding system) by agents of the Revenue or Contributions Division within IDES. Industrial classification can be a difficult problem, and these individuals are revenue agents, not economists. (Consider assigning a single code to a conglomerate. Based on share of revenues, for example, General Electric would be a financial company.). Address assignment is also problematic. Employers frequently use an outside provider – typically their accounting firms – to prepare their unemployment insurance premium returns. The 3rd party preparer lists its own address on the forms. If the preparer and its client employer are located in different towns or zip codes, an employer’s workforce may actually be tallied in the preparer’s town or zip code rather than where the employer is actually located.

Finally, about 10% of the state’s total reporting units consist of facilities belonging to entities with “multiple work sites.” (Retail chains are a prime example of entities having “multiple worksites.”) So, in the first quarter of 2007, Illinois’ ES-202 data base had 356,871 reporting units, 10% of which were units comprising multiple worksite accounts. About 30% of the state’s employees work at these sites. IDES makes every effort to identify how many employees are at each of the sites. But “multiple sites” reporting is voluntary, and not every employer cooperates. In addition, the policy was started with 1991 data, so data from 1991 or later are not entirely comparable to data from 1990 or earlier. The fact that nearly a third of the state’s employees are part of a category for which reporting is voluntary poses a problem for data interpretation.

Ms. Mechenes reported that IDES verifies the addresses, county and sub-county codes, and industry assignment of about 1/3rd of the state’s reporting units each year. Staff reductions have made this task more difficult. (Alert to Lambda Alpha members: impress the importance of maintaining the WWW data sets on your legislators.) Despite these efforts, errors inevitably remain, which means that users of WWW data must be cautious. As a general rule, the smaller the geographic area, the greater the caution. In addition, one can be much more confident about interpreting broad trends (8 to 10 years) as opposed to changes in adjacent years. Therefore, use 8- to 10-year (or longer) trends in job counts at the county level for the collar counties and at the county division level for Cook County (e.g. “Northwest Suburban Cook,” “South Suburban Cook,” etc.). Avoid conclusions based on differences in adjacent year job counts for individual municipalities and zip codes without verification from local authorities.

The following chart would be an example of a way to use WWW data within the above guidelines. The chart compares private sector job counts in the “outer suburbs” (collar counties plus the “Northwest Cook Suburban” division of Cook County) with counts in the “inner suburbs” (Cook County suburbs minus the Northwest Cook Suburban division) and in the city. The charted data are from many years and are for large areas. Accordingly, the chart provides valid support for the “qualitative conclusion” that all the region’s job growth has occurred in the outer suburbs.

2. CAMIROS RECEIVES ILLINOIS CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION GOLD AWARD FOR A PLAN!

The new residential zoning ordinance for Riverside, Illinois, prepared by Camiros, was awarded the Illinois APA Gold Award for a Plan, at the Chapter's fall conference in Peoria on October 12, 2007. The award recognized the work of the Village Plan Commission and Camiros in preparing a hybrid code - an ordinance that combines form-based controls with traditional zoning regulations to assure that future development within this historic community reflects the scale, character and pattern of development already in place.

Riverside's residential zoning ordinance addresses the scale and context of new development via form-based zoning controls.

Camiros Tackles New Zoning Assignments
Camiros will begin three new zoning assignments this winter: zoning ordinance updates for the Chicago suburbs of Hinsdale and La Grange Park, Illinois, and commercial corridor zoning for Riverside, Illinois. The zoning updates will tackle various issues such as scale and context of new residential development, transit-oriented and mixed-use development policies, form-based zoning, and how to address the future development of commercial cores and corridors. Camiros has also recently completed a zoning ordinance update for Park Ridge, Illinois and the creation of a Land Development Code for St. Cloud, Minnesota.

St. Cloud's Land Development Code integrates seven different ordinances into a single code and implements key policies of the Comprehensive Plan.

Les Pollock Elected President of Lambda Alpha International
Camiros is pleased to announce the recent election of Principal Consultant Les Pollock as President of Lambda Alpha International (LAI), a 2,400 member international land economics honorary society. Les will serve through 2009.

Camiros Staff Speak at APA Upper Midwest Conference
Camirites Arista Strungys and Doug Hammel were invited to present on hybrid zoning at the APA Upper Midwest Conference in Dubuque this past November. The presentation outlined the five steps to hybrid zoning and presented the case studies of Riverside, Illinois and Council Bluffs, Iowa.

3. SUSTAINABLE URBANISM: URBAN DESIGN WITH NATURE

Many attended a reading and signing of Ely Chapter member, Doug Farr’s new book: “Sustainable Urbanism: Urban Design with Nature” on Wednesday, December 5th. It is being recognized as a great holiday gift for sustainability-minded professionals or students. The following summary of the book and a snippet from the first review willgive you an overview of this timely topic.

The book is an urgent call to action to refocus sustainable theory and practice on the human settlement pattern sustainable neighborhoods and corridors rather than current obsessions with efficient light bulbs,
hybrid cars or green buildings. It is also the defining text on sustainable urbanism, a global design movement integrating walkable, transit-served urbanism with high performance infrastructure and
buildings. The book provides historic perspective on the development regulations that got us on the wrong course to our current unsustainable lifestyle, reviews the fragmented attempts at reform, and argues
persuasively where we need to go and how we can get there.

A quote from the book’s first review in New Urban News " . . . the most comprehensive, technically informed volume available on how to design and build places that are environmentally responsible and also
gratifying to inhabit."

Golden Gate Chapter:

Annual Banquet:
On December 6th, the Golden Gate Chapter of Lambda Alpha held its annual banquet at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco. The event was well attended and received, with about 180 members and guests joining in the festivities. The banquet is a highlight of the year for the Chapter, which now includes 379 active members. The venue for this year's dinner afforded spectacular night-time illuminated views of Yerba Buena Center, a model urban revitalization project centered around a public park that was built atop the City's convention center and around museums and other cultural uses.

Paula Collins acted as emcee. Paula is a founder and Chief Executive Officer of WDG Ventures Inc., a real estate development and investment firm formed in 1988. WDG Ventures Inc. is engaged in residential and commercial real estate development in Northern California, with a portfolio of completed properties and projects under development representing more than 1.7 million square feet valued in excess of $500 million. San Francisco projects include the venue for the dinner - the Four Seasons Residences and Hotel, developed in joint venture with Millennium Partners of New York. WDG Ventures' corporate emphasis is on mixed-use entertainment retail projects, and community and economic development in urban areas. In her address to the members, Paula drew on the homespun wisdom of her college friends, the Peaches, to provide a humorous perspective on the year to come in the real estate industry. This view afforded a somewhat different take from the theme of the recent Urban Land Institute Emerging Trends Conference – a Dose of Fear. By contrast, Paula called this optimistic spin on the state of the real estate industry, “The Peach Paradigm.” Here are some examples she gave of the Peaches perspective on four specific issues:
Office vacancy rates – “A chance to re-decorate”
Retail Sales – “Isn’t that redundant?”
Sustainability – “ I think you all are going to get tired of all that green”
The Sub Prime Mortgage Debacle –“Change the day of the week and the time of day and those sub prime ratings will go right back up. Just don’t put them up against Monday night football.

During the dinner program, the Chapter initiated a terrific group of 23 new members, with Paula introducing each of the members and Chapter President, Jesse Smith, and Vice President, Tom Sullivan, presenting the awards. The new initiates are:

Vancouver Chapter:

The Vancouver Chapter had two events in November. On November 7th the members enjoyed a casual evening hearing form Mike Geller and Mike Goldberg about their recent travels in the Orient. We saw Mike Geller as he traveled from Beijing, China to Melbourne, Australia. We listened to Michael Goldberg discuss the urban planning issues he observed while he was lived in Singapore heading the academic division at Universitas 21 Global from January 2005 until July 2007.

On November 28th the City of Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan was the guest speaker at our dinner. He spoke briefly on his program for EcoDensity, an initiative aimed at protecting the local and global ecology and reducing the City's ecological footprint through high quality densification. He spoke of his aims to increase housing affordability and to make cities more competitive by making them less reliant on fossil fuels. The single occupant car dominates the North American commute to work, and in that respect Europe will suffer less than us as we struggle with rising fuel prices. He also talked about what he referred to as Civil City, a broad initiative aimed at improving public order and civility on Vancouver streets, which includes reducing homelessness and incidences of crime and public disorder in Vancouver by 2010. When he finished the members joined in with a lively discussion with ideas questions on how his program was to be achieved.
