93.2 JURISDICTION PROFILE

The following is a summary of key information about the jurisdiction and its history:

• Date of Incorporation: 1917

• Current Population: 5,337 as of 2010 Census

• Population Growth: As of 2010, the total population is 5,337, which have decrease -18.4%

since 2000.

• Location and Description: The Village of Robbins, Illinois is located in southern Cook

County, approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. The Village of Robbins

occupies approximately 1.5 square miles of land within Bremen Township. Neighboring

communities include Crestwood, Midlothian, Blue Island, Alsip, and Posen.

• Brief History: The Village of Robbins was incorporated in 1917. The village’s first mayor

was Thomas J. Kellar. The citizens of the unincorporated area of Cook County sought to

protect their property from the citizens of surrounding towns and also to provide the

necessary public services required by a growing settlement. Thomas J. Kellar, having worked

at the Markham court house, was tasked with investigating the procedures of incorporation.

The Village of Robbins was incorporated and was named after the original realtor and

subdivider, Eugene Robbins. Robbins is one of the oldest African American governed towns

in the northern United States.

• Climate: The climate of the Village of Robbins and the Chicago area is classified as humid

continental, with all four seasons distinctly represented: wet springs; hot and humid summers;

pleasant autumns; and cold winters. Annual precipitation is average, and reaches its lowest

points in the months of January and February, and peaks in the months of May and June.

Winter proves quite variable. Seasonal snowfall in the city has ranged from 9 – 90 inches.

The daily average temperature in January at Midway Airport is 24.8 °F (−4.0 °C), and

temperatures often stay below freezing for several consecutive days or even weeks in January

and February. Temperatures drop to or below 0 °F (−18 °C) on 5.5 nights annually at Midway

and 8.2 nights at O’Hare. Spring in the Chicago area is perhaps the city’s wettest and

unpredictable season. Winter like conditions can persist well into April and even occasionally

into May. Thunderstorms are especially prevalent in the spring time as the city’s lakeside

location makes it a center of conflicts between large volumes of warmer and colder air,

Cook County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan; Volume 2: Planning Partner Annexes

93-2

triggering many kinds of severe weather. Temperatures vary tremendously in the springtime;

March is the month with the greatest span between the record highs and lows. On a typical

summer day, humidity is usually moderately high and temperatures ordinarily reach

anywhere between 78 and 92 °F (26 and 33 °C). The extreme heat that the Chicago area is

capable of experiencing during the height of the summer season can persist into the autumn

season. Temperatures have reached 100 degrees high and subzero lows below −18 °C. Fall

can bring heavy thunderstorms, many of which are capable of producing flooding. The

average first accumulating snow occurs around Nov 19.

• Governing Body Format: The Village of Robbins is governed by a Village Mayor, six

members Board of Trustees with a Village Clerk, elected and a Village Administrator

appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Board of Trustee. This body will assume

responsibility for the adoption of this plan and the Chief of Operations and Personal Safety

will oversee its implementation.

• Development Trends—The Village was awarded a $259,000 Department of Commerce

Economic Opportunity (DCEO) grant for the completion of water meter installation. In

addition, the Village was awarded a $150,000 DCEO matching grant for roadway

improvements along Claire Boulevard. Next, the Village received $34,000 in grant funding to

provide safety equipment for both the police department and fire station.

500-Year Modeled Tornado Event (F5)

The 100- and 500-year events have beenmodeled based on fifty-nine years of tornadodata for Cook County. The wind speeds,widths, lengths, and direction for each eventwere developed using existing historicaltornado data. The simulated storms and theircorresponding losses within this jurisdictionwere used to determine the 100- and 500-yeareconomic loss event.
