BOA Minutes July 6, 2017 Pg #5 --? ( the opportunities here to really take care of the population. For example, looking at the P populations for people over 65 there're various numbers in here that correlate to each one of those bands that go out further and further in those 10 minute increments. Goin,g out to 20 minutes, not 30 minutes, we found that there was a very ample reason to say that the market here needs to be served. It's an economic result not only for the community but certainly for the ownership and you foa the community with respect to how we take care of ourselves in terms of the general population and the cost of that. For the longer term as population suffer these debilit4tions it's going to grow very significantly. All the more reasons are out there for folks that happen to see how you might consider this phenomenon that's going on as the baby boomers age out, and as longevity continues to increase, a very significant factor in this whole process. This smaller area here, how they establish themselves in a community with cost being prudent, to chazging for their serrrices and staffing. When you have quality organizations, obviously it's going to cost more. That has a tendency to generate higher revenues for the community, but you'll have to decide. When I go through these numbers in considering how these numbers all work out, in a 20 - minute drive time you have about 6800 people who have incidences of Alzheimer's in this area. You have 3460 or so population here. That population, you have more than 2000 people in the age 65 and up, that's a very large number of people within a 20 minute drive time to this location who need services like this. What's the ratio suppty against that demand? Not . everybody is going to go into one of these facilities. They will stay home for as long as they can. Not only is there no cure for this at the present time but it is a daunting miserable task and you need professional people to talce care of this. With respect to tax revenue, the Village can get a wonderful benefit out of this. You'll have $1 million payroll, probably a project that's $8 million to $10 million on site work that'll be done, and about $300,000 in real estate taxes that will flow into the community at large, county, the schools, library system, the zoos and everybody else that's gets to dip in there. About 65% will go to the school system. Mr. Ritley concludes, the population with incidences of Alzheimer's extending out over a 30 minute drive time from this location, having beds specifically for people who have Alzheimer's or dementia is about 3%, not an exact number, but it's so marginal, so small compared to the populations need that I could stand here comfortably and tell you that this is a hands down easy decision from that aspect alone. With respect to the 0- 20 minute drive time in terms of drive times for family to go back and forth, you're at 7%. So, either 97% or 93% of that population out there that still has a need. We could all stay home, but we can't do it. When your spouse dies, what happens? With dementia, it's a grand problem. That person, as they lose their perceprion of place in life, they set adrift. Chairman Prcela asked, I believe what you're saying is you feel strongly there's a solid market for this?. Mr. Ritley replied, I do.
