V. SPECIAL REPORTS
1. Presentation by Community Relations Commission
a. Community Relations Commission Chairperson Arcelia Pimentel was present to talk about two
new initiatives the Commission is undertaking.
b. Ms. Pimentel explained that the Commission is an all -volunteer group whose mission is to
foster, encourage, and promote positive relations between people of all races, creeds, national
origins, and economic and educational levels. The Commission helps the Village prepare and
distribute information to enhance the quality of life for all Village residents. Commission
members act as greeters at the Village's Neighborhood Outreach events and distribute
information and answer questions at the monthly Farmers' Market.
c. Ms. Pimentel said the Commission is sponsoring two projects: first, the Adopt A Planter
program, where residents, families, groups, or businesses can adopt one or more of the 85
large planters located along Dempster Street, at the Metra Station, and at the Civic Center.
The Village will prepare the soil for each pot and will provide a starter kit of flowers to each
participant. Ms. Pimentel extended a special thank you the Johnny Mitchell and the Public
Works Department for their support of this project. The Commission would like to have all the
plants planted by the weekend of May 14-15. After that, it will be the responsibility of each
participant to maintain the planter, which mainly involves weeding and pruning of the plants.
Participants can be as creative as they like in customizing their planters by adding additional
flowers.

1. Proclamations
a.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Mayor DiMaria proclaimed April 22, 2016, as "Earth Day" in the Village, commenting that "it is
the responsibility of each of us to safeguard the environment by recognizing that all human
life depends upon the Earth and upon each other for our mutual existence, well-being, and
development." He encouraged all citizens to be mindful of local, state, and national laws which
protect the environment, and to join in efforts to preserve the beauty and wonder of the lands,
skies, and waters of the Earth.
b. Mayor DiMaria proclaimed April 29, 2016 as "Arbor Day" in Morton Grove. He said that
Arbor Day was first observed in Nebraska with the planting of more than a million trees.
Trees can reduce the erosion of precious topsoil, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the
temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife. Morton Grove has
been recognized as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Mayor DiMaria
urged everyone to protect our trees and woodlands and to support Morton Grove's urban
forestry program.
c. Trustee Thill noted that the Village is planting about 300 trees this year in the parkways. He
said some residents have indicated they don't want a tree in their parkway. Trustee Thill
pointed out that the parkways are Village property and he did not feel homeowners should have
a choice in the matter.
2. Mayoral Update
a. Mayor DiMaria said that the spring edition of The Exchange has gone out. It features an article
about Morton Grove being the 8th safest village in Illinois; about the Community Relations
Commission projects; and about water safety. The newsletter also includes public safety tips
from the Police and Fire departments, Senior Center updates, and information about Morton
Grove Days, which will be here before we know it. He encouraged people to volunteer for the
Morton Grove Days event, participate in the July 4th Parade, or be a sponsor. Any amount is
g reat!
b. Mayor DiMaria commented that the March Neighborhood Outreach was very well attended,
and encouraged people to attend the next one, which will be on June 15 at 6:00 p.m. at Edison
School, located at 8200 Gross Point Road. He said that several ordinances and resolutions
have come out of discussions with residents about varying matters.
c. Mayor DiMaria apologized for missing the last meeting and thanked Trustee Grear for filling in.
IX. CLERK'S REPORT
Clerk Travis announced that this is "National Volunteer Week." She thanked everyone who
volunteers, whether it is through a Village Commission or endeavor, or a local civic organization
or project. Trustee Thill said he'd like to ask staff to put their heads together to come up with
some sort of "Volunteer of the Year" recognition or award.

A. Village Administrator:
STAFF REPORTS
1. Village Administrator Czerwinski said people should be aware that the Metra tracks at Lincoln
Avenue closed today for track repair, and will be closed for the next four days.
2. Mr. Czerwinski said the Morton Grove Days Commission holds monthly "eat -and -earn" fund-
raisers to help offset the costs of the fireworks. The next one will be held on Wednesday,
April 20, from 4:00 p.m. til closing time, at Graziano's on Touhy Avenue. Anyone dining there, or
ordering carryout, should mention "Morton Grove Fireworks" to their order -taker, and Graziano's
will donate 20% of the receipts.
B. Corporation Counsel:
Corporation Counsel Liston had no report.
XI. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee Grear:
1. Trustee Grear introduced for a first reading Ordinance 16-07, Amending Title 8 Entitled
"Public Health and Safety" of the Municipal Code to Add a New Chapter 11 Establishing
a "Special Event" Permitting Process.
a.
b.
He explained that special events, such as festivals, concerts, and fun runs, enhance the quality
of life and community character by helping to create a vibrant and interesting community. Such
events often involve advance planning, logistics, and potential costs and liabilities for the
Village. The Village may be required to allocate Village personnel, equipment, and property
for special events, which, in addition to subjecting the Village to costs and potential liability,
may interfere with the normal operations of the Village and the safe use of the public ways and
Village property.
Trustee Grear said this ordinance will establish a permitting process for special events requiring
Village services. Applications must be submitted at least 90 days prior to the event, unless
alcohol is expected to be served or more than 500 people are expected to attend the event,
in which case the application must be submitted to the Village by September 1 of the year
preceding the proposed special event. Event organizers are required to obtain adequate levels
of insurance and additional permits for activities such as food sales and pyrotechnics, and
provide the Village with sufficient additional information in order to enhance the Village's ability
to schedule needed personal and equipment.
As this is a first reading, no action will be taken this evening.
2. Next, Trustee Grear presented Resolution 16-23, Authorization For the Purchase of Police
Squad Cars Through the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative.

XI. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
A. Trustee Grear: (continued)
a. Trustee Grear explained that this resolution will authorize the purchase of two police sports
utility vehicles from Currie Motors Fleet in Frankfort, Illinois, and two regular police squad cars
from Napleton Dodge. These will replace currently utilized Police Department high mileage
vehicles due to age and declining reliability. The Village replaces high mileage squad cars every
three years to insure key equipment utilized by police officers does not fail during their duties as
public safety first responders. The squad vehicles are utilized 24 hours a day and need to be in
excellent condition at all times.
Trustee Grear said that both dealers, Currie Motors and Napleton Dodge, were awarded
contracts by the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative to sell these 2016 police squad cars.
Purchasing squad cars from the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative allows municipalities to
bypass formal bid procedures.
The two sports utility squad cars and the two regular squad cars will cost a total of $103,976.
Trustee Grear moved to approve Resolution 16-23, seconded by Trustee Minx.
Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

B. Trustee Minx:
1. Trustee Minx presented Ordinance 16-03, An Ordinance Approving A Mixed Use Planned
Unit Development ("PUD") and Related Waivers for a 7 -Story Residential Structure and a
Residential Structure and a 14,000 Square Foot Single -Story Commercial/Retail Structure
on a 2.8 Acre Parcel of Land at 8700 Waukegan Road, Morton Grove, Illinois.
This is the second reading of this Ordinance.
Trustee Minx explained that this Ordinance will approve a mixed use PUD for a 7 -story, 184 -unit
residential building and an approximately 14,000 square foot single -story commercial building
at 8700 Waukegan Road, with conditions and waivers, and the establishment of the number of
parking spaces, in accordance with Section 12-6 of the Village Code.
Proposed site improvements include 327 on-site parking spaces, new landscaping, reconfigura-
tion of and improvements to on-site vehicular and pedestrian access ways, and improved
stormwater facilities. With their PUD application, 8700 MG LLC is seeking variations and
approvals for the following dimensional, bulk, and parking requirements: a 2.25 foot waiver
to the minimum 5 -foot side yard setback for the residential building; a 37 -foot waiver to the
maximum 40 -foot height requirement; a 0.55 waiver to the maximum 2.0 Floor Area Ratio
requirement; a waiver to the loading berth requirement for the commercial structure; and
establishment of the number of parking spaces for the mixed-use PUD at 333 overall
(327 on-site and 6 parking spaces on the adjacent shared access and parking easement area,
located south of the subject property).

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
c. Trustee Minx said that the project has been recommended for approval, with conditions, by
the Appearance Commission, the Traffic Safety Commission, and the Plan Commission. She
moved to adopt Ordinance 16-03, seconded by Trustee Pietron.
d. Trustee Thill commented that there is a person in town who thinks he knows better and is
claiming the Board has not done their due diligence on this project, and further, that the Village
is "giving away" Village property to this developer. Trustee Thill disagreed, stating the Board
has been attending meetings, reviewing data, and touring facilities for the last 18 months. The
Board has discussed and carefully reviewed the 122 -page contract being entered into.
Trustee Thill said there's no way anyone should be claiming that the Board hasn't done its
job in this matter.
e. Trustee Grear said he realizes that change and progress can be scary, but he felt that change
is good and progress is wonderful. He said he was very impressed with this developer when
he first met him and is even more impressed now. Trustee Grear felt that this progress will
enhance Morton Grove—three acres of property in the center of town will be enhanced. It's
definitely going to be a good thing.
f. Trustee Minx noted that she has attended all the meetings and knows how many hours
Mr. Grogan, the developer, has spent meeting with Village staff and with the neighbors of the
proposed development, working with them to allay their concerns and come up with plans that
will work well for everyone. Trustee Minx thanked Mr. Grogan for his countless hours.
Trustee Pietron stated that "this is an example of moving forward for the betterment of Morton
Grove" on an economic level, adding that economic development doesn't happen overnight.
Total real estate taxes from this site currently are $34,000—that buys one police squad car.
The projections are that future real estate taxes from this development will far exceed that
amount. He said that the Dempster -Waukegan intersection sees approximately 70,000-80,000
cars per day, and it's an ugly area. The proposed development is aesthetically appealing.
Trustee Pietron said he's visited other properties built by Mr. Grogan and they're impeccable.
Projects like this are a good thing for the Village and may help to curb future property tax hikes.

h. Mayor DiMaria said that Mr. Grogan came to Morton Grove to invest because he and his group
feel that Morton Grove is heading in the right direction. He thanked Mr. Grogan for believing in
this Village.
2. Next, Trustee Minx presented Resolution 16-22, Approving An Economic Incentive and Tax
Increment Allocation Financing Redevelopment Agreement By, Between, and Among the
Village of Morton Grove, 8700 MG, LLC, and Heartland Real Estate Partners -MG, LLC.
She explained that, two years ago, when the property owner, 8700 MG, LLC began discussions
with the Village regarding the potential redevelopment of the property at 8700 Waukegan Road,

B. Trustee Minx: (continued)
the owner advised the Village that the proposed development would not be financially feasible
without financial assistance. On March 9, 2015, pursuant to Resolution 15-16, The Board
approved the financial incentive term sheet and authorized staff to negotiate an economic
incentive redevelopment agreement.
b. The terms for the financial assistance agreement include the following:

$600,000 cash payment upon issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy for the
residential building, a minimum of 25% occupancy of the residential units, and
completion of the commercial building to industry "Vanilla Box" standards (building
shell, exterior finishes, and utilities stubbed to the building)
• Up to $4,700,000 in TIF financing assistance paid out through the incremental property
taxes generated by the new development
• Up to $600,000 in TIF financial assistance paid out through a 50/50 split between the
Village and the developer on any supplemental incremental property taxes generated
by this project
• Up to $1,000,000 in sales tax revenues paid out through (a) 50% of the Village's share
of State Sales Tax revenues and the Village's home rule tax; and (b) Business District
tax revenue for qualifying project expenses.
Trustee Minx noted that all of the proposed financial incentives are performance based. The
cash payment will only be made after the project is substantially completed, and the TIF
assistance and sales tax sharing will only be paid if the project generates incremental property
taxes and the new businesses generate sales tax revenue.
The owner and developer anticipate the overall project cost will be in excess of $55 million. In
addition to the owner's private investment, it is projected that the development will generate
over $900,000 per year in new real estate taxes as well as new sales tax revenues, where
currently no sales tax revenues are generated. The project will improve a property that is
currently under-utilized and obsolete, improve the streetscape, and act as a catalyst for
additional redevelopement within the Dempster -Waukegan commercial area. The development
is also projected to create 150 jobs during construction and 20 new permanent jobs.
Trustee Minx moved to approve Resolution 16-22, seconded by Trustee Pietron.
Trustee Thill congratulated the staff on negotiating an excellent agreement, and said, "This is
a slam dunk."
Trustee Grear reiterated that the project is estimated to generate over $900,000 per year in
new property taxes PLUS new sales tax revenues.
Trustee Pietron said if the Village doesn't work with developers in the business world, the
Village will lose out. He said we don't have long lines of people waiting to develop property
here. He felt this is a good partnership for the Village.
Mayor DiMaria said he supposed that there are people who might look at this as the Board
"giving something away," but he and the Board prefer to look at it as "investing in Morton
Grove's future."

B. Trustee Minx: (continued)
i. Mayor DiMaria said he remembered how upset people were about the Board's decision to
approve a redevelopment agreement with the Elliotts, who turned the Baxter Laboratories
property into the Woodlands on Lincoln Avenue. This has turned out to be a very successful
development, especially in terms of Return On Investment. He said that Mr. Grogan and his firm
are investing almost $55 million in the Village; the Village is investing about $6 million in itself.

Mayor DiMaria thanked Village staff, the Board, and the residents, and most of all, Mr. Grogan.
He said this is a great WIN for the Village.
Mr. Grogan thanked Mayor DiMaria, the Board, and Village staff for the excellent working
relationship they've enjoyed over the last 2.5 years. He thanked the trustees for taking the time
to look at his other projects and thanked the staff for collaborating with him. He thanked the
neighboring residents for their time and for working with him, and said he felt they were close to
finalizing an agreement. Mr. Grogan said, "We're committed to this and we're glad to be a part
of this community. It's exciting to see this come to fruition."
C. Trustee Pietron:
1. Trustee Pietron presented Resolution 16-24, Authorizing the Acceptancde of a Material
Proposal From Arrow Road Construction Company for the 2016 Material Purchasing
Program—Asphalt.
He explained that the Village has an annual program, dependent on funding appropriations,
to purchase construction materials like asphalt and concrete to be used to maintain Village
rights-of-way and property. The purchase of construction materials is paid for using General
Funds, Motor Fuel Tax Funds, and Enterprise Funds. The use of Motor Fuel Tax funds is
administratively controlled by the State, which requires bidding procedures and contract
documents. This contract was bid through a public process in accordance with the municipal
code and Illinois Department of Transportation requirements. .

Trustee Pietron said the estimated contract value is $81,000, but since this is a unit price

sewer pipe infrastructure. This contract was bid through a public process and conforms to the
requirements of the Prevailing Wage Act.
Trustee Pietron said the proposal price is $132,703.20, but $137,000 was budgeted. Insituform
Technologies USA, LLC was the low bidder and also performed this work for the Village last
year and in other years. Since this is a unit price contract, the final contract amount will be
based on the actual quantity of work performed.

Trustee Pietron then presented Resolution 16-26, Authorizing the Execution of a Contract
With Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. For the 2016 Pavement Marking Program.
a. He explained that annual pavement parking is necessary to maintain the visibility of the
centerlines, stop bars, lane lines, and crosswalks on Village streets. The Public Works
Department participated in a Municipal Partnering Initiative in 2012 throught 2015 to procure
pavement marking services. Four communities participated, and the program was administered
by the City of Highland Park. This cooperative procurement program is allowed by the Village's
municipal code and by the Illinois Govemmental Joint Purchasing Act. The renewable periods
of the pavement marking contract have expired, and the contract for pavement marking
services needs to be bid again. Public Works considers it advantageous to participate in the
cooperative procurement program again, and agreed to lead the administration of the bidding
process for a group comprised of Evanston, Glenview, Morton Grove, and Niles. The contract
conforms to the Prevailing Wage Act and is for a one-year term, which can be renewed for two
additional years.

4. Next, Trustee Pietron presented Resolution 16-27, Authorizing the Execution of a Contract
With A Lamp Concrete Contractors, Inc. For the 2016 Alley Improvement Program.
a. He explained that the Village's Alley Improvement Program is an annual program to improve the
alley pavement infrastructure beyond the extent of superficial repairs. Public Works has
determined that reconstructing heavily -traveled alleys will greatly reduce the annual cost of
intsensive maintenance by the Public Works Department, as well as provide a higher level of
service to users of the alleys.
Trustee Pietron noted that the Village allocated funds in the 2016 Budget to reconstruct these
alley segments with a concrete pavement. The concrete construction required for this project is
beyond the expertise and capacity of Village staff. The contract was bid through a public
process and conforms to the requirements of the Prevailing Wage Act. The lowest bidder,
A Lamp Concrete Contractors, Inc., bid $312,044.65. The Village had budgeted $550,000.
Trustee Pietron said the estimated contract value is $312,044.65, but since this is a unit price
contract, the final contract amount will be based on the actual quantity of work performed.

Lastly, Trustee Pietron brought forward Resolution 16-29, Authorizing the Purchase of Two
New 2017 Freightliner Dump Trucks With Two (2) Snow Plows and One (1) Salt Spreader
From Truck City, Inc.
Trustee Pietron said the purchase of these two trucks is necessary to replace an existing 1996
Ford L8000 and a 1996 International 4900 Dump Truck.
He explained that the Public Works Department routinely reviews vehicles and equipment for
fuel economy, safety, dependability, age, and excessive repair costs. The two trucks being
replaced have exceeded their expected service life. This purchase was bid out, and seven (7)
bids were received. Three truck dealers submitted multiple bids utilizing various equipment
manufacturers for the dump bodies, snow plows, and salt spreaders, with favorable results.
The purchase of these two trucks will cost the Village $304,906, which inciludes a $13,500
trade-in credit.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
D. Trustee Ramos:
Trustee Ramos had no formal report, but reminded residents that income tax filing day is
officially April 18, 2016, due to Emancipation Day on April 15th. He said that this is good news
for procrastinators!
E. Trustee Thill:
a. Trustee Thill presented for a first reading Ordinance 16-08, Amending Title 9, Chapter 7, To
Restructure Ambulance Service Fees.
b.
Trustee Thill asked Fire Chief Tom Friel to explain this ordinance.
Chief Friel said that, in the mid -1990's, ambulance user fees were established as a two-tier
structure: one set of costs for residents and one for non-residents. Since then, everything has
gotten more expensive. The Fire Department adjusted the fees in 2008 and entered into a
Mutual Aid relationship withneighboringcommunities, enabling the Village's two-tier rate
system to be passed through to other communities.
Chief Friel said the Mutual Aid relationship has increased, and now includes Niles, Skokie,
Park Ridge, Des Plaines, and the North Maine Fire Protection District. Ordinance 16-08 would
change Morton Grove's fees again, to match the current or proposed fees of the other Mutual
Aid communities. For residents, ambulance fees should be covered by insurance and should
never cause an out-of-pocket situation. This policy has been vetted by the Federal Inspector
General. The rates will now be more like true user fees.
Trustee Grear commented that the Board does not want to get into residents' pockets with this
Ordinance, and the Chief assured him that the fees charged to residents meet most insurance
companies' definition of "usual and customary."
As this is a first reading, no action will be taken this evening.
F. Trustee Witko:
1. Trustee Witko presented Resolution 16-28, Authorizing An Agreement Between the
Village of Morton Grove and Mather LifeWays For the Use of the Civic Center for
Senior Programming.
She explained that the Village has provided programs for older residents at the American
Legion Memorial Civic Center since 2001. Since 2005, Mather LifeWays, a non -denominational,
not-for-profit organization based in Evanston, has contracted with the Village to operate
programming for the Village. This resolution will approve an additional one-year non-exclusive
license for Mather LifeWays to operate programs at the Civic Center for all adults, with a
concentration on activities and services desired by adults over the age of 50. Mather LifeWays
will coordinate all programming at the Civic Center, work with community partners as directed
by the Village to bring their programs on-site, nurture/encourage/continue self -led programs and

XI. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
F. Trustee Witko: (continued)
b. will directly provide lunch programs, iPad and computer classes, "Boost Your Brain" and
memory courses, become a Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) site, be an MRP tax site,
provide "Telephone Topics," create lifelong learning opportunities, work with other organizations
to create inter -generational programming, conduct community outreach to fill programs, and
conduct other programs as agreed.
c. Trustee Witko said that Mather LifeWays will not charge the Village to provide these programs,
but may charge participants a nominal fee. The Village will provide space, equipment, tele-
phone and Internet services, as well as janitorial and basic set-up services to Mather LifeWays.
Trustee Witko moved, seconded by Trustee Pietron, to approve Resolution 16-28.
d. Trustee Grear commented that this is another situation where the Board came under fire for
"changing" senior programming. He said the feedback on Mather LifeWays has been excellent.
They provide many programs, plus bingo, plus entertainment. Trustee Grear said "If you're a
senior in Morton Grove and you don't take advantage of the programming and entertainment
options offered by Mather LifeWays at the Civic Center, you're making a big mistake!" He also
mentioned that he'll be calling bingo at the Civic Center sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Mayor DiMaria called for the vote on Resolution 16-28.
Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

2. Trustee Witko announced that the Historical Society is spearheading efforts to raise funds so
that the Doughboy Statue at the Morton Grove Public Library can undergo some much-needed
concrete repairs. The Historical Society is encouraging everyone to make a donation on their
"go fund me" page (gofundme.com/mgdoughboy). The Historical Society is also inviting every-
one to stop by the Museum to see the "Flappers and Flyboys" exhibit. The Museum is open
Monday through Friday from 11 am to 3pm and on Sundays from 2pm to 4pm.
XII. OTHER BUSINESS
On behalf of the Board and Village staff, Trustee Grear offered condolences to Community
and Economic Development Director Nancy Radzevich on the loss of her mother. He asked
the assemblage to say a prayer for Nancy's family.

RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
Nancy Lanning commented that the biggest bingo prizes at the Civic Center, the ones that
people vie for, are toilet paper and paper towels. She thanked Officers Lietz and Tabor for call-
ing bingo at the Civic Center last week; she had a great time. Mrs. Lanning said that it's im-
portant for the seniors to see these police officers because then, if they have a problem, they'll
be more comfortable calling the police department.
Bonito LoGuidice appeared before the Board to let them know that, as of April 6, the State is
once again notifying people when they need their emissions tested before they can renew their
drivers' license. Mayor DiMaria thanked her for her public service announcement.

Special Considerations
or Requirements:
April 11, 2016
To establish a new Municipal Code chapter to establish a special event permitting process when
individuals/organizations host or sponsor events that require the Village to provide special
services.
Special events such as festivals, concerts, and fun runs can enhance our quality of life and
community character by helping to create a vibrant and interesting community. They also
involve advance planning, logistics, and potential costs and liabilities for the Village. The
Village may be required to allocate Village personnel, equipment, and property for special
events, which in addition to subjecting the Village to costs and potential liability, may interfere
with the normal operations of the Village and the safe use of the public ways and Village
property. This ordinance will establish a permitting process for special events requiring Village
services. Applications are due at least ninety (90) days before the event, unless alcohol is
expected to be served or more than five hundred (500) people are expected to attend the event,
in which case the application shall be delivered to the Village by September 1 of the year
preceding the proposed special event, whichever is greater. Event organizers are required to
obtain adequate levels of insurance and additional permits for certain activities, such as food
sales and pyrotechnics; and provide the Village with sufficient additional information in order
to enhance the Village's ability to schedule needed personnel and equipment.
Police, Administration, Legal, and Finance Departments
The special permit process requires event organizers to pay the Village for the use of Village
staff, equipment, and property unless these charges are waived by the Village Administrator.
N/A
The management and supervision of this chapter will be performed by the Administration,
Legal, Police, and Finance Departments as part of their normal operations.

ORDINANCE 16-07
AMENDING TITLE 8 ENTITLED
"PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY" OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A NEW
CHAPTER 11 ESTABLISHING A SPECIAL EVENT PERMITTING PROCESS
WHEREAS, the Village of Morton Grove (Village), located in Cook County, Illinois is a home
rule unit of government under the provisions of Article 7 of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, can
exercise any power and perform any function pertaining to its govemment affairs, including but not
limited to the power to tax and incur debt; and
WHEREAS, the Village has a policy of regularly reviewing and revising its Municipal Code, as
necessary, to ensure the provisions of the Code remain compliant with contemporary statutes and
relevant to the current operations and requirements within the Village; and
WHEREAS, from time -to -time, individuals and organizations host or sponsor events that
require the Village to provide special services; and
WHEREAS, providing such special services affects the health, safety and general welfare of the
Village in that it requires the Village to reallocate its personnel, equipment, and property; imposes
additional costs on the Village; exposes the Village to additional liability; interferes with the Village's
normal operations; and can interfere with the safe use of the Village's public ways and Village property;
and
WHEREAS, persons who fail to provide the Village with adequate notice about their need for
special services deprive the Village of the ability to plan for the allocation of its resources and thereby
jeopardizes the Village's ability to provide for the public health, safety, and welfare and increases the
Village's operational costs; and
WHEREAS, Village staff has recommended Village ordinances and regulations be updated to
require persons or entities who hold or sponsor any event which requires the Village to provide special
services to provide sufficient advance notice to the Village, and pay the Village's costs for such special
services, and establish standards and procedures for allocating resources and setting fees and charges for
those services.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED, BY THE BOARD OF TRUS I EES OF THE

amounts conforming to state requirements. This contract was bid through a
public process in accordance with the Municipal Code and the Illinois
Department of Transportation requirements. The contract was advertised and
sealed bids were received. The bid tabulation is attached as shown on Exhibit
"A". The acceptance for the proposal is attached as Exhibit "B".

The Traffic Safety Commission received a request for stop signs on Luna Avenue at its
intersection with Davis Street and "Watch That Child" signs along the 9100 block of
Luna Avenue. Two "Watch That Child" signs were subsequently installed under the
authority of the Director of Public Works. This intersection currently has no traffic
control. During the course of two Traffic Safety Commission reviews, the Village
Administrator suggested addressing the root problem described by the residents and a
temporary, experimental traffic regulation was established for 90 days to prohibit left
turns from westbound Church Street onto southbound Luna Avenue. The residents and
Traffic Safety Commission considered the temporary, experimental traffic regulation to
not satisfy the original desire of the residents for stop signs and recommended to remove
the left turn restriction. The Traffic Safety Commission concurred with the petitioner's
request and recommended the Village of Morton Grove establish a 4 -way stop
intersection on Luna Avenue at its intersection with Davis Street.

This Ordinance amends Title 9, Chapter 7 of the Village's Municipal Code to restructure
and establish reasonable and necessary fees to support the delivery of high quality
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to the residents and guests of the community.
The fire department routinely reviews the fees charged for the provision of ambulance
services in order to ensure appropriateness and parity with service fees charged by other
departments in the Chicago -metro area as well as the local MABAS Division. Village staff
has reviewed surveys of fees charged by other communities and has proposed the following

This Resolution authorizes the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that
will establish the same ambulance and paramedic rates for Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie
residents when the fire departments of these Villages respond to EMS alarms pursuant to
mutual aid requests.
Ambulance and paramedic service fees are charged to persons who receive services from
the Morton Grove Fire Department. These charges are covered by most health insurance
plans including Medicare. However Medicare and other insurers typically only cover
municipal ambulance and paramedic fees for residents of the Village that provides the
transport services unless a mutual aid agreement of this nature exists. Morton Grove,
Skokie and Niles have mutual aid agreements that allow their fire departments to respond
to EMS alarms in all three Villages based on availability. In 2009, pursuant to Resolution
09-47 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the
Village of Skokie, the Village of Niles, and the Village of Morton Grove for Mutual
Aid Ambulance Billing, the Village approved an intergovernmental agreement with Niles
and Skokie which provided that residents of each community will be charged the "resident
rate" for services regardless of the department that responds to the 911 call. Pursuant to
this ordinance, the Village will raise ambulance and paramedic fees in order to be
consistent with fees charged by Skokie and Niles. This Resolution will approve an
amendment to the 2009 Intergovernmental Agreement to update the fees each community
will charge residents.
Fire Department
In 2015, our ambulance transported approximately 245 non -Morton Grove residents from
Niles and Skokie. This agreement will allow the assessment of service fees for these
transports. In addition, it will ensure our residents are charged the resident rate in the event
that a Niles or Skokie ambulance delivers service to them during a mutual aid request.
No expenditure is necessary.
The Fire Department as part of their normal work activities will perform the management
and implementation of the program.

MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE (EMS) BILLING
THIS MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made this 1st day of April 2016, by
and between the Villages of Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie, each located in the state of Illinois.
WHEREAS, Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie (each individually a "Village", and,
collectively, the "Villages") are all geographically near one another; and
WHEREAS, Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie each render Emergency Medical Services
and ambulance transportation services for persons within one of the other Villages when the
ambulance unit or crew from one of the other Villages is unavailable; and
WHEREAS, Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie have enacted ordinances implementing
identical pricing structures for emergency medical services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties wish to have a Mutual Aid Agreement as set forth
below:
1. Mutual Aid. It is the purpose of the Agreement that, if the ambulance from one of the
Villages is unavailable, the ambulance service from one of the other Villages, pursuant to
the Mutual Aid Box Alarm Agreement dated on or about June 27, 1989, shall assist and
provide emergency ambulance transportation, whenever possible.
2. Rates. Currently, each Village has the same pricing structure as follows:

a. Resident. A "Resident" is a patient who maintains a primary residence with a
mailing address located in one of the Villages.
b. Requesting Jurisdiction. The "Requesting Jurisdiction" is the Village requesting
Mutual Aid.
c. Responding Jurisdiction. The "Responding Jurisdiction" is the Village providing
Mutual Aid.
4. Billing. When an ambulance owned and operated by one of the Villages responds to a
request for Mutual Aid from one of the other Villages and transports any patient pursuant
to said request, it is agreed the Village that transports the patient is authorized to bill that
patient in accordance with the rate structure of the requesting jurisdiction, in effect at the
time of transport.
5. Insurance Assignment.
a. Residents of the Responding Jurisdiction. Each Village shall accept payment
assigned by a qualifying insurance carrier (Medicare, Medicaid, or private) for
ambulance services rendered to all residents of the responding jurisdiction,
regardless of the location at which the responding jurisdiction provided treatment
or transportation. Amount(s) billed in excess of that paid by the resident's
insurance carrier are considered "co -payment." Each Village has elected to
accept its own residents' payment of applicable taxes as satisfaction of any co-
payment obligations.
b. Residents of the Requesting Jurisdiction. The Villages agree in the event a
Village responds to a request for mutual aid and transports a resident of the
requesting jurisdiction, the responding Village shall accept insurance assignment
in full satisfaction of all amounts owed for ambulance transportation service
provided to the resident of the requesting jurisdiction.
c. Other Patients. If a patient is not a resident of either the requesting or responding
jurisdiction, the Villages will charge the patient the non-resident rate in effect at
the time of transport.
6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and such counterparts shall together constitute and be one and the
same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Villages has executed this Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.
