VI.
Minutes of November 34, 2014 Board Meeti '
a. Captain Porter said that, each October, in recognition of the great Chicago Fire, every school
in Morton Grove is invited to participate in the annual poster contest. This contest brings fire
safety messages to the home. This year, for the first time, digital entries were allowed, as well
as posters using more traditional mediums. Captain Porter said that 150 drawn posters and 80
electronic versions were received. The annual poster contest is generously sponsored by the
Morton Grove Firefighters Association, who also help by acting as judges of the poster entries.
b. Each grade has a winner, and each winner receives a Ben Franklin fifty -cent piece and a
plaque with their winning picture digitally engraved on it. The reason they receive a Ben Frank-
lin coin is because of his association with and contributions to the fire service.
C. Captain Porter asked

DiMaria and Fire Department Trustee

2. Presentation on Social Work in the Village
Mayor DiMaria asked Police Chief Mike Simo to provide an update on the current social work
situation in the Village. He said that, on September 2 ", Morton Grove implemented what the
Police Department considers a very positive change in its social services by contracting Debbie
Alberts, a licensed clinical social worker, to provide social services as a member of the Police
Department. This makes sense because the Police Department is the department most likely
to be contacted by people who would benefitfrom her services. She attends Village meetings,
Police staff meetings and roll calls, and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
a. During this short period of time, Debbie has provided services in trackable categories, e.g
general counseling, financial assistance support, hoarders, elder care, child abuse, and
domestic violence support 84 times.

VI. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
b. Chief Simo said that
Debbie has gained the
confidence of the residents she's dealt with as well
as the police officers
and supervisors with whom
she works. They consider her a peer and they
don't hesitate to call
her if they feel she can
help
with a situation.
c. Chief Simo said that Debbie has joined a Police Social Worker Association and networks with
police social workers from Skokie, Lincolnwood, and Northbrook. Overall, she is a benefit to
the Police Department and the community and enhances the services the Police Department
provides.
d. Chief Simo said that he recommends keeping this program as an in -house contract position
and continue to evaluate performancelcost- benefit going forward
e. Trustee Toth asked if the Board could receive a copy of Chief Simo's report. He said he would
email the report to each Board member.

1. Appointment
Mayor DiMaria asked for a motion to concur with his appointment of William McFadden to the
Fire Pension Board, Trustee Grear so moved, seconded by Trustee Pietron. Motion passed
unanimously via voice vote.
2. Mayoral Update
a. Mayor DiMaria said that he and the Board attended the ribbon - cutting for the Hoof 'n Feather
restaurant on Waukegan Road. The food is excellent, and this is a unique eatery in that
Hoof 'n Feather used to be a food truck, it got so popular that they decided to purchase and
open a restaurant in Morton Grove. This business is bringing people into Morton Grove. He
encouraged all residents to shop locally!
b. Mayor DiMaria thanked the Board and Village staff for a very successful neighborhood out-
reach at Oriole Park. It was a good way for people to meet the Village Board and see who's
working for them. He thanked the staff for working late and making the Village proud.

IX. PRESIDENT'S REPORT (continued)
2. Mayoral Update (continued)
c. Mayor DiMana said that President Obama has declared November 23 -29 as National Family
Week. He read the first paragraph of the proclamation because it reminded him of Morton
Grove: "Whereas in big cities and small towns throughout our nation, the strength and diversity
of hard - working families reflect the promise of America: that, with grit and determination, any-
one can build a better future for themselves and their children. Families provide love and en-
couragement, and they are sources of support and inspiration to a generation limited only by
the size of their dreams and the power of their imagination. During National Family Week, we
celebrate our family members and the countless ways they lift us up, and we continue our work
to bolster the bonds that tie all of us together."
d. Mayor DiMaria thought this was very appropriate with Thanksgiving; that we should all be
grateful, not only for our own families, but our families at the Village —the Fire Department, the
Police Department, the Village Board, the staff —we're a family, and the residents are part of
this bigger family as well.
e, Mayor DiMaria announced some sad news: Greg Dwyer, a long -time employee at the Civic
Center and a genuine asset to Morton Grove, passed away suddenly. He was saddened to
hear this, and expressed condolences to Mr. Dwyer's family and said that Greg would be
missed.
Mayor DiMaria reminded the Board and assemblage that Rep. John D'Amico was hosting the
2014 U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign. New, unwrapped toys for all ages /genders
can be brought to 4404 W. Lawrence Avenue in Chicago, Monday through Friday from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., until December 19, 2014. For more information, call 773- 736 -0218.
g. Mayor DiMaria welcomed Burt and Sharon from Burt's Place and said he was pleased to
recognize them on their 25 years in business as Burt's Place, and their overall contributions
to making Morton Grove a pizza destination. He said that Burt has owned four restaurants:
Inferno in Evanston, Gulliver's in Rogers Park, and, over the last 43 years, Morton Grove's
Pequod's and Burt's Place, known for its carmelized pizza crusts. Burt's Place has been
named one of the top pizza places in Chicago and the U.S. It's also been recognized by the
Food Network's "Passion For Pizza," which celebrates the best pizzerias around the world.
Mayor DiMaria said that when people come to Chicago, they want to eat at Burt's. He present-
ed Burt and Sharon with a "Burt's Place" banner and thanked them for keeping Morton Grove
on the map.
h. Burt thanked Mayor DiMaria and the Board, and said it was great to be recognized. He added
that he has seen a lot of administrations come and go, and stated that this administration, by
far, is the most business - friendly he's seen in 43 years.
I, Mayor DiMaria thanked Burt and said he was proud to have a Village staff that constantly
acknowledges and encourages businesses. He wished Burt and Sharon a happy Thanksgiv-
ing and thanked them again for being part of Morton Grove.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
The total
proposed budget
for the
Village
is $63,317,924 and the total proposed budget for the
Library is
$3,218,465, for a
grand
total of
$66,536,389.
As this is a first reading, no action will be taken this evening.
2. Next, Trustee Toth presented for a first reading Ordinance 14-26, Levying and Assessing
Taxes for the Village of Morton Grove, Cook County, Illinois, for the Fiscal Year
Beginning January 1, 2015 and Ending December 31, 2015.
She explained that the proposed budget for 2015
calls for
expenditures in
the amount of
$66,536,689. The amount necessary to be levied
for 2014
property taxes
is $12,540,233.
By law, the Village is required to levy an additional $3,078,200 for debt service payments
authorized by general obligation notes and bonds, for a total levy (before abatement) of
$15,618,433. However, the Village Board intends to adopt several Resolutions which will
immediately abate $2,621,296 from the levy, resulting in the net levy, as intended by the
Corporate Authorities, of $12,997,137. This equates to a 2% increase in the Village's portion
of the tax levy and a 5% increase in the Library's portion of the tax levy, for an overall increase
of 2.7% in the tax levy over last year.
As this is a first reading, no action will be taken this evening.
Trustee Witko:
Trustee Witko presented for a first reading Ordinance 14 -28, Minor Amendment to
Ordinance 04 -26, Which Approved a Special Use for a Planned Unit Development
(Trafalgar Square) to Grant Approval of a Plat of Vacation and Abrogation of an
Easement for the Property Located at 8320-8342 Concord Drive.
a. She explained that, in December 2013, the Board approved an amendment to a Planned Unit
Development to allow for a change from the previously approved 78 -unit multi- family develop-
ment to a 31 -unit townhome development (Lexington Station). The previously- approved plan
included a utility easement around the multi - family building. This amendment to the PUD
allows for the vacation and abrogation of the easement based on the subsequent changes to
the development plan. This Plat of Vacation and Abrogation does not change the approved
Planned Unit Development or site plan, nor the approved Lexington Station Plat of Subdivision.
b. Trustee Witko said that the applicant has requested that the Village waive the second reading
of this Ordinance.
Trustee Grear moved to waive the second reading, seconded by Trustee Pietron.

d. Attorney Bernard Citron was present to respond to the Board's questions. Trustee Marcus
asked what the harm would be if the Board kept the second reading (which would occur at
the Board's December 8 meeting). Mr. Citron said there are 24 families who literally cannot
move in until the plat is vacated. The closings are all being delayed because of this minor
technicality. Trustee Marcus thanked him for the clarification. Mr, Citron said that he's only
asking because of the families involved.
e. Mayor DiMaria commented that it's a wonderful development. Mr. Citron agreed that it's a
great development in a great location. In fact, the units sold out in a month. He also thanked

and policies. With respect to contractual issues raised. Mr. Horne, stated $20,000 had been allocated in
the budget for costs related to the Village's marketing and branding study. $30;000 had been allocated
for website hosting services. And approximately $39,000 was allocated in the budget for professional
services relating to Morton Grove media. This included services for the implementation of the

In response to questions about the lobbyist, Mr. Horne noted the lobbyist had 'helped the Village secure
a $1 million reimbursement grant for the new police facility and $125,000 towards the Village's new
salt dome. The Village would not receive the $1 million until certain paperwork is turned in. The
Mayor stressed it was important for the Village to invest in itself and it needed a presence in
Springfield. Trustee Pietron stated the State Representatives had highly recommended the use of a
lobbyist. Trustee Marcus stated he was looking for ways to reduce the budget and was not convinced a
lobbyist was a good use of funds.
Mr. Horne then answered questions regarding the Legal budget. Currently the Village retains
prosecutors that represent the Village in local ordinance cases in the Second District. The budget
includes $25,000 for this service. The budget also allocates $36,000 for the Administrative Hearing
Officer and Prosecutors, Previously, Corporation Counsel acted as the Adjudication Hearing
Prosecutor; however, in response to concerns regarding a potential conflict of interest, outside
prosecutors are now being used.
Under the Finance Budget, Mr. Home stated the budget included $50,000 as a placeholder to
implement recommendations from the Strategic Plan. No amounts had been budgeted to date for
architectural services for the police facility as the Village was waiting to receive the grant. Once those
funds were secured, a budget amendment would be necessary.
Under Capital items, $80,000 allocated for street lighting is for a project depended on a lighting grant.
If the Village does not get the grant, those funds will not be spent. The funds allocated for the
municipal buildings HVAC repair system were intended for the Civic Center.
This year's budget recommends a $5,000,000 new bond issuance: $1.7 million for capital
improvements, and $3.3 million for a three -year street improvement project. Mr. Horne noted the
Village's current debt structure is $10 million less than it was ten years ago.
With respect to current employees, the budget includes costs for contractual services. Mr. Horne
further stated these budget items were cost neutral and the Village would spend approximately the
same whether the Village hired employees or used outside contractors. This included cost allocations
for a media coordinator within Information Technology.
In response to a question from Trustee Great, Mr. Horne stated an increase in the levy does not
necessarily mean an increase in an individual property tax bill. He showed a sample of a residential
property tax bi11 and noted the Village's portion of the tax bill went up in years that the levy was not
increased and went down in years when the levy was increased. Many factors impact the actual tax bill
including new EAV from new construction. It was the Village's goal to capture the benefit of a new
EAV with minimal impact on homeowners' taxes.
Finance Director Remy Navarrete then reviewed the current levy. The budget, as modified, proposed a
property tax levy increase of 2% for the Village and 5% for the Library resulting in a total levy
increase of 2.7 %. Ms. Navarrete then reviewed General Fund changes in the fund balance. She noted
the fund balance was projected at the end of 2014 to be 26.2% of the General Fund. The 2015 budget
after adjustments showed an ending fund balance of 26.7 %. The unassigned fund balance at the end of
2014 is projected to be $5,573..864, which is 20.6 %. After adjustments, the 2015 budget projects an
unassigned fund balance of $5,671,305, or 21 %.
Ms. Navarrete noted the budget had been adjusted since the last workshop in the following areas: the
Morton Grove Media Communications Budget originally showed an increase of $82,000. That amount
had not changed; however, costs were allocated from personnel to contractual services. The Economic
Development Budget originally projected an increase of $278,000. That has been cut by $133,900 due
to reduced personnel allocations and a decrease in contractual services relating to updating the Unified
Development Code. The Information Technology Budget originally projected an increase of $285,000.
That amount has been cut by $174,800.
The 2015 Proposed Budget and General Fund changes after adjustments are as follows: total projected
revenues are $27,054,238 with total expenditures at $26,956,797 resulting in a surplus of $97,441.
Projected at the end of 2015, the Fund Balance would be $7,192,054 broken down as follows: assigned
fund balance: $1,520,749; unassigned fund balance: $5,671,305.
Mr. Horne then answered questions from the Board. Trustee Marcus questioned the current General
Fund Balance. Mr. Borne stated, the unassigned Fund Balance is below 25% and the total Fund
balance, or Reserves, are greater than 25 %. The current Board policy is a target of 25% and Mr. Horne
noted this policy was not provided for by official resolution or ordinance. A general discussion then
ensued.
There being no further questions Trustee Grear moved to adjourn the Special Meeting. The motion was
seconded by Trustee Pietron and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 7:1 Opm.

Resolution 14 -63 _
AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH MTI CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC FOR
POLICE/1VIUNICIPAL BUILDING PREDESIGN SERVICES
Introduced
Synopsis:
Purpose:
Background:
December 8, 2014
To authorize the Village of Motion Grove to enter into an agreement with MTI Construction Services his
municipal building predesign services.
To provide professional assistance to the Village for the selection of an architect, updating the Police
Department's space needs study, completing a space needs study for Village Hall, analyzing available sites
and providing a recommendation to the Village Board for site selection for the Police Department and Village
Hall.
Since 1980, the Village's Police Station/Village Hall has been located on a 2.27+/- acre site at 6101
Capulina Avenue. The building, which houses both the Police Station and Village Hall, was originally built
over 100 years ago as the Village's first grammar school.
Over the years, space needs studies have been done regarding the efficiency and appropriateness of
housing these uses in an old grammar school building. Most recently, in 2012, a space needs study was
completed for the Police Station by FGM Architects. FGM found the Police Station was too small to meet the
operational needs of the Police Department and deficient in ADA accessibility requirements and current law
enforcement rules and standards. Because of the age and current condition of the building, FGM determined
it would be more cost effective to build a new Police facility than to remodel and construct an addition to the
current facility. The study also recommended the Police Station not be located in a residential neighborhood.
Based on this study, the Corporate Authorities concluded the Police Station needs to be replaced and, in
2011 the Village purchased a 2.39 acre site at 8300 Lehigh Avenue as a possible site for a new Police
Station.
Even though the Police Department is located in the sane building as Village Hall, the 2012 study did
not include a space needs study for Village Hall. The Village Hall portion of the building has issues which
include, but are not limited to:
• a significant amount of ill- designed and /or unusable space;
• the building is not currently ADA compliant or energy efficient, and does not have an up -to -date hire
Alarm System;
• the existing boiler and HVAC systems are 50 -60 years old and 35 years old, respectively, and regularly
break down causing Village hall to be serviced by space heaters and emergency air conditioner units.
The boiler system requires special order and fabrication of parts since standard parts no longer exist
which has required Village Hall to be closed to the public several times during the summer for lack of air
conditioning, proper ventilation, and has jeopardized the main IT server room due to critical overheating;
• the 35 year old roof system has failed causing significant water leaks and flooding and creating potential
mold and asbestos hazards;
• any significant failures of the boiler, HVAC system, and /or roof system could result in significant,
unintended and unbudgeted capital expenditures;
• if the Police Station is relocated, the potential for redevelopment or reuse of the Police Department
portion of the building is uncertain as any change in use would trigger the need for compliance with
current life safety, building, and ADA codes;
• further, due to existing asbestos, which is currently contained, any significant renovations will require
proper abatement;
• the current site of the Village Hall and Police Department is in a highly desirable residential district and
as such may be valuable for redevelopment and provide a long -term source of additional property tax
revenues.

Ryan J
Mayor DiMaria appointed a Police Facilities Work Group ("Working Group ") consisting of the Police
F Chief, Village Administrator, Finance Director, Community and Economic Development Director,
Corporation Counsel, Trustee Grear and Plan Commission member and architect Steven Blonz to begin the
process of soliciting proposals from qualified construction managers /design teams to begin to move 'forward
with the process of completing due diligence, pre- design, financial evaluation, final design and ultimately
construction of a new Police Station. When the Working Group began drafting air RFQ for such services,
members expressed concerns that issues related to the existing municipal services, which are currently
housed in the same building and on the same site as the Police Department, had not been considered.
Although the Village purchased the 8300 Lehigh site with the intention of locating the Police Station
there, a thorough site constraints analysis has not been done to confirm the site is large enough for the Police
Station and or a combined Police/Village Hall facility. Further, the Village is investigating other sites which
may be suitable for a new Police Station and Village Hall.
For all the reasons listed above, further study is needed to determine if a new Police Station should be
located at 8300 Lehigh Avenue or some other location in the Village; and to determine if Village Halt should
be remodeled or rebuilt; if Village Hall should be relocated or remain at its current location, especially if the
Police Station is relocated elsewhere; and if the Police Station and Village Hall should be located at the same
or different sites.
Earlier this year, the Village sought Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) from highly qualified consulting
firms. The Working Group reviewed the four submitted proposals, interviewed two finalists; and conducted
reference checks and site visits; and unanimously selected MT1 Construction Services, LLC as the most
qualified firm for the overall project as well as the necessary due diligence phase of this project.
MT] Construction Services, LLC has proposed to provide the first phase predesign services to the Village for
a cost of 520,000, with the following scope:
• Assist the Village with a list of qualified architects for a feasibility study and site analysis.
• Assist the Village with an RFQ for afeasibility study and site analysis.
• Assist the Village with review and qualification of proposals.
• Review with the architect and update 2012 feasibility/needs study for the Police Department.
• Work with the Village and architect on preparation of a feasibility/needs study for Village Hall
Departments.
• Assess and analyze various sites, and prepare budgets associated with the various sites.
• With architects, assess value and redevelopment potential for the existing 6101 Capulina site.
• Establish Village Hall services and Police Department Project goals, scope, and objectives.
• Chair, coordinate, schedule, and document meetings with the Village and the architect.
• Develop a Master Project Schedule "MPS ".
• With the architect, recommend building and site alternatives with budgets to the Village Board for
consideration and direction.
• Develop an overall conceptual project estimate and budget.
• Assume the obligation and responsibility for the goals, requirements and scope of the project.
The project is scheduled to begin within the next week after the contract is executed, and is expected to
be completed in July. At that point, the Village Staff, MTI, and the architect would present their analysis and
recommendation to the Village Board of preferred sites for police and /or municipal facilities.
