PRESIDENT'S REPORT
1. Mayor DiMaria noted the passing of a 20 -year member of the Traffic Safety Commission,
Norm Rocket. He passed away on October 2151. Mayor DiMaria extended his personal and the
Board's condolences to Mr. Rockel's family.
2, Mayor DiMaria complimented the Morton Grove Days Commission on a very successful Pancake
Breakfast, held October 14 at the Civic Center. He said he was sorry he had not been able to
attend, but his understanding was that attendance was good and the fundraiser met its goals.
The proceeds of this Pancake Breakfast, and the one held in May of 2017, will go toward the
"Santa Clause Comes to Town" event coming up on December 2, 2017.
3. Mayor DiMaria noted that the "outdoor" Farmers' Market ended on October 14th, but there will
be two winter "indoor" Markets: one on December 2, 2017 and the other on February 3, 2018.
He announced that there will be a meeting this Thursday, October 26, at 7:00 p.m. in the
Scanlon Conference Room on the second floor of Village Hall to discuss the future of the
Farmers' Market; all residents are welcome to attend. Mayor DiMaria added that "it's not too late"
to sign up to be a "Market Friend," just visit the Market's website and make your donation there.
4. Mayor DiMaria said that Budget Workshops were held on October 10 and October 17. He
thanked the Village staff and department heads for doing a diligent job on the preparation of the
2018 Budget. Unfortunately, no residents showed up at either of the workshops. The 2018
Budget is a "stable" budget and does not contemplate any major capital initiatives.
Mayor DiMaria gave kudos to Administrator Czerwinski and Finance Director Sullivan for their
excellent presentations during the workshops, and noted that any questions on the Budget
should be directed to either one of them.
5. Mayor DiMaria announced that Trader Joe's wants to know if residents would like one of their
stores in Morton Grove. He said that everyone interested in having a Trader Joe's in town should
go to the Trader Joe's website (www.traderioes.com), and click on FAQs at the bottom of the
page (listed under the heading "Questions." One of the questions is, "How can I bring a Trader
Joe's to my community?" and the response is a link to email the company. The link opens to a
form where you would enter your name, phone number, and email address, and there's a field
for "Comments," where you can tell them you strongly encourage them to open a store in
Morton Grove. Mayor DiMaria said, it's not a guarantee, but if the company feels "wanted"
enough, it could happen!
6. Mayor DiMaria noted that there would be a "Helping Hands Community Resource Event" on
Saturday, November 4th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Niles West High School. The event is
being presented to help residents of Morton Grove, Niles, Skokie, and Evanston learn about
available resources and gain valuable insights into eligibility requirements for supportive
services. The event is co-sponsored by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky and Cook County
Commissioner Larry Suffredin.

Minutes of October 23 2017 Board Meeting'
XII.
Clerk Harford had no report.

A. Village Administrator:
1.
CLERK'S REPORT
STAFF REPORTS
Village Administrator Czerwinski said he had good news about "Site B," the two -acre former
Domicile Furniture site at Ferris and Capulina. Lexington Homes is proposing to build 36 town -
home units on this site. Mr. Czerwinski said it's been an arduous task to get something
developed at this location, which has been vacant for over nine years.
a. Mr. Czerwinski said the Village enjoys a good relationship with Lexington Homes—this is not
their first venture in Morton Grove. He said that a mutually favorable redevelopment agreement
has been negotiated, and that this development will restore vitality to this neighborhood.
2. Mr. Czerwinski said that Pace is bringing rapid transit to Morton Grove with a Pace Pulse Route
on Dempster Street. The route will be along Dempster Street between the Davis Street CTA
station in Evanston, through downtown Des Plaines, and continuing on to O'Hare Airport. This
will not have a negative impact on the current Pace bus #250 route. The new Pulse Route is not
expected to be in service until 2020. Pace is currently working on a Milwaukee Avenue Pulse
Route between Golf Mill Shopping Center and the Jefferson Park Transit Center in Chicago.
3. Mr. Czerwinski said that ComEd continues their maintenance work on the transmission towers
along Lehigh Avenue, with work scheduled to conclude on November 17`". This work is resulting
in Lehigh Avenue lane closures. He encouraged local drivers to watch for flagmen and signage
in the area, and to allow extra travel time through the area.
4. Mr. Czerwinski announce that, after and in spite of significant effort by the Village Board and
Village staff toward bringing progress and prosperity to the intersection of Dempster and
Waukegan, the shopping center representatives have withdrawn their application for a Planned
Unit Development and Special Use Permit at the Prairie View Shopping Center. The developer
had already gone through the Appearance Commission and Traffic Safety Commission hearings,
but was directed to withdraw the application at the Plan Commission meeting on October 16.
Mr. Czerwinski said that the Board and staff had been energized by this project, so this news
was quite disheartening. The Village was told privately that the shopping center plans to
demolish the center and has limited ambitions to rebuild it. Mr. Czerwinski said the Village
will continue to make efforts to stimulate redevelopment of this area. He pointed out that the
shopping center is in a TIF District, which provides specific funds for redevelopment, but said
the Village also must ensure that its investments are appropriate.
5. Mr. Czerwinski then presented Resolution 17-42, Authorizing the Approval of and Funding
for an Agreement Between Morton Grove -Niles Water Commission and Albrecht
Enterprises, Inc. for Demolition and Asbestos Abatement and Removal Services at
7900 Nagle Avenue, Morton Grove, Illinois.
3
XIII. STAFF REPORTS (continued)
a. Mr. Czerwinski said that the Morton Grove -Niles Water Commission (MGNWC) had issued a
Request for Proposals to provide services relating to the demolition, asbestos abatement, and
building removal, as well as an underground storage tank, at 7900 Nagle Avenue in preparation
for a pumping station for the MGNWC. Albrecht Enterprises submitted the lowest bid for these
services, and the environmental consultant for the MGNWC, Northstar Consultants, Inc.,
recommended the MGNWC accept this bid. Albrecht's fees for this service will be $89,400,
and the Villages of Morton Grove and Niles will each pay 50% of this cost. Mr. Czerwinski said
that any MGNWC expenditures over $40,000 require approval by both Morton Grove's and Niles'
Village Boards; a similar resolution will be presented to Niles later this week.

Mayor DiMaria commented that, when the Board was talking about the savings the Alternate
Water Supply project would garner for the Village, these numbers were factored in.
Regarding the Prairie View Shopping Center, Mayor DiMaria said the Village was ready to
partner with the shopping center and still is. A lot of time and effort had gone into the proposed
project, but the Village must get the right economic return on its investment.
B. Corporation Counsel:
Corporation Counsel Liston had no report.
XIV. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee Grear:
1, Trustee Grear wished Mayor DiMaria a happy birthday, and presented for a first reading
Ordinance 17-27, Authorizing an Economic Incentive and Tax Increment Allocation
Financing Redevelopment Agreement ("RDA") By and Between the Village of Morton
Grove and Lexington Homes, LLC.
a. He thanked Mr. Czerwinski for providing a brief overview of this Ordinance and noted that, as
this is a first reading, no action will be taken this evening.
2. Mayor DiMaria thanked Trustee Grear for his birthday wishes, and extended his congratulations
to Trustee Grear on his retirement for his full-time job.
4
XIV. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
B. Trustee Minx:
Trustee Minx had no formal report, but commented that she had sat through all of the Prairie
View Shopping Center meetings, and found it interesting that none of the property owner's
representatives could recall a time when that shopping center was a vital part of Morton Grove.
The current owners bought it in the mid -1970's or early 1980's, when it was already in decline.
Thousands of cars go through that intersection daily; she felt it was a real shame that the owners
weren't interested in revitalizing the center.
C. Trustee Ramos:
Trustee Ramos had no formal report but thanked Mr. Czerwinski and the Morton Grove Days
volunteers on a "job well done" at the Pancake Breakfast.
D. Trustee Thill:
Trustee Thill had no formal report, but said that he will not be shopping at Prairie View Shopping
Center. He also thanked Mr. Czerwinski for his efforts in getting the Molloy Education Center a
$2,100 grant from the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) to implement a
variety of source reduction and recycling initiatives. The grant was possible due in part to a
Recycling Grant Program by SWANCC that the Village hosted last fall for school districts serving
Morton Grove.
E. Trustee Travis:
1. Trustee Travis reported that the Community Artists Performance on October 15 was very
successful. She thanked Ginny (from Identity Performing Arts) and the Community Relations
Commission members for spearheading this effort.
2. Trustee Travis said that the Community Relations Commission's Fall photo contest will end on
December 2nd. She encouraged residents to post photos depicting the Village's tagline of
"Incredibly Close. Amazingly Open." More information can be found on the Village's website.

Tr. Witko gig
Nancy Lanning, a lifelong resident of Morton Grove and a volunteer at the Civic Center, said
she had noticed a curb at the entrance that was making it rather difficult for people with walkers
to access the building from the parking lot. She said she had mentioned it to Mr. Czerwinski at
the Pancake Breakfast, and he, in turn, mentioned it to Joe Dahm of Public Works. Mrs. Lanning
said she was incredibly impressed to see that, by Monday, the curb was gone and the entrance
was more accessible! She thanked both Mr. Czerwinski and Public Works for their swiftness in
taking action on this. Mr. Czerwinski said that he appreciated Mrs. Lanning pointing it out, and
thanked Public Works Director DeMonte and his staff for being "on top of it."

SPECIAL REPORTS
Presentation by American Legion Post #134 Regarding Naval Recruit Thanksgiving Day
Casey Buchara, who has chaired this event locally for the last eleven years, and Joe Gesicki,
chaplain for the Legion Post, appeared before the Board and assemblage to ask for the Board's
support in this endeavor, and to invite everyone to this annual event, where about 50 recruits
from Great Lakes Naval Station are brought to Post #134 where they are wined, dined, and
entertained. Mr. Buchara thanked the Board for their past support.
Mayor DiMaria asked about the day's logistics. Mr. Buchara said that buses will leave the Post
at 6:OOam to pick up the recruits. The plan is for them to be back to the Post by 8:30-8:45am.
The recruits stay until around 4:30 or 4:45. He said this is a wonderful day for these recruits,
who are in their seventh week of training, because the veterans, members, and officials serve
them—it's their day. The recruits' ages are from 18 to early 20's, and they thoroughly enjoy the
Thanksgiving dinner donated by Kappy's and the phone bank donated by AT&T, which allows
them to call anywhere for any length of time.
Mr. Buchara said folks are welcome to stop in at any time to meet and greet the recruits, but the
best time to come is from 11:OOam. Mr. Gesicki offered his personal thanks to everyone on the
Board for their support and help with this event.
VIII. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
d. Mayor DiMaria thanked Mr. Buchara and Mr. Gesicki for their service and for organizing this fine
event. He encouraged everyone to come out for this, noting that "it's a great experience."

season, because no one deserves to go hungry, especially our children.
2. Mayor DiMaria noted that ComEd continues their maintenance work on the transmission towers

Saturday, November 4th at Niles West High School was quite successful. The event was
presented to help residents of Morton Grove, Niles, Skokie, and Evanston learn about available

XII. CLERK'S REPORT
Clerk Harford had no report.
XIII. STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator:
1. Village Administrator Czerwinski announced that the Village Board Meeting scheduled for
Monday, December 25, 2017, was cancelled.
2. Mr. Czerwinski provided a presentation on the 2018 Proposed Budget. Budget Workshops were
held on October 10 and October 17, 2017. The first reading of the Budget Ordinance is this
evening. A Public Hearing on the Budget and the second reading of the Budget Ordinance will
take place at the regularly -scheduled Board Meeting on November 27, 2017.
a. Mr. Czerwinski said the 2018 Budget total is $62.34M, a 4.77% decrease over the 2017 Budget,
which was $65.46M. The 2018 Budget is a reactive, stabilizing, service-oriented budget.
The budgeted amount for the General Fund is $30.07M; for General Operations (water/sewer
enterprise accounts), $17.7M; and for the TIF/Economic Development Fund, $6.4M; making the
non -pension Village total $54.2M. Pension Funds are budgeted at $8.04M, bringing the total for
all Village Funds $62.3M. By law, the Morton Grove Public Library's budget must be included
with the Village's Budget. The Library's budget for 2018 is $3,427,663, bringing the total for the
Village and the Library to $65,771,143.
b. The Budget is available for inspection at the Village Administrator's office, at the MG Public
Library, and on the Village's website
c. Mr. Czerwinski said the main focal points of the 2018 Budget are bond rating stabilization, the
water supply project, Austin Avenue reconstruction project, sanitary sewer replacement,
maintenance of public facilities, and fiscal management of the Illinois State Budget cuts.
3
XIII. STAFF REPORTS (continued)
d.
Mr. Czerwinski said the General Fund budget of $30.07M is a 4.1% increase over 2017's
General Fund budget of $28.8M. It includes funds for facility maintenance (replacement of the
roof of the Public Works building and tuck pointing). There will be no increase in any fees for
services, but there will be a 3.86% property tax increase. The funds from this increase should be
about $395,209, which are necessary to replace $376,773 the Village is losing because of State
budget cuts.
e. Mayor DiMaria commented that, even though Mr. Czerwinski calls this budget "reactive," he felt it
was "proactive," as the Village is taking immediate steps to replace funds cut by the State.
Mayor DiMaria commended Mr. Czerwinski and Village staff for their proactive outlook regarding
this budget.
3. Mr. Czerwinski commended Finance Director Hanna Sullivan, Assistant Administrator Tom Friel,
and all the department heads for doing a tremendous job on the 2018 Budget.
4. Mr. Czerwinski said that a large postcard had been mailed to all residents outlining upcoming
events in the Village, including "Santa Comes To Town," the Holiday Food Drive, and the Toys
for Tots initiative.

XIV. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee Grear:
Trustee Grear presented Ordinance 17-27, Authorizing an Economic Incentive and Tax
Increment Allocation Financing Redevelopment Agreement ("RDA") By and Between the
Village of Morton Grove and Lexington Homes, LLC.
This is the second reading of this Ordinance.
a. Trustee Grear explained that, between 2005 and 2009, the Village acquired a two -acre parcel at
the southwest corner of Capulina and Ferris Avenues. The Village demolished the structures ex-
isting on the property, but environmental hazardous conditions remained in the underlying soil,
which deterred redevelopment of this site. Lexington Homes, LLC has submitted a proposal to
purchase the property and develop a 36 -unit townhome community in seven buildings. The units
will be either 2 bedrooms plus den or 3 bedrooms, all with 2.5 baths and 2 -car garages. This
development is projected to generate approximately $4.2 million over the next ten years in
property taxes for the benefit of the Village and other taxing bodies.
Trustee Grear moved to adopt Ordinance 17-27, seconded by Trustee Minx.

Levying and Assessing Taxes for the
For the Fiscal Year Beginning January 1,
Trustee Travis said this Ordinance sets the 2017 property tax levy amount that will be collected
to fund the 2018 Budget. The amount necessary to be levied for the 2017 property taxes is
$10,039,565 for Village operational expenses; $586,019 for Village debt services; and
$3,338,463 for the Library, resulting in a levy of $10,625,584 for the Village and $3,338,463 for
the Library, a total of $13,964,047. By law, the Village is required to levy an additional
$3,168,109 for Village debt service payments authorized by general obligation notes and bonds,
for a total levy (before abatement) of $17,132.156. The Village Board intends to adopt Resolu-
tions that will immediately abate $3,168,109 from the levy, resulting in the net levy as intended
by the Corporate Authorities in the amount of $13,964,047.
Trustee Travis said that, as this is the first reading of this Ordinance, no action will be taken this
evening.
F. Trustee Witko:
1. Trustee Witko presented for a first reading Ordinance 17-30, Amending Title 5, Chapter 8,
Section 7 to be Newly Titled "Permits For Vehicles Exceeding Size and Weight Limits" of
the Municipal Code of the Village of Morton Grove.
a.
b.
She explained that the Village is allowed by State law to issue permits for oversized and over-
weight vehicles. While requests for such permits are infrequent, they are complex, as the Village
does not currently have legislation or policies in place to issue and regulate those permits.
The Metropolitan Mayors Conference has developed a streamlined regional permitting process
for oversized and overweight vehicles, and has recommended municipalities utilize Oxcart Per-
mit Systems LLC, which offers an online permit application system that interfaces with the State
and other municipalities, thereby creating a single point of contact for permitting throughout the
region. Oxcart Permit Systems LLC does not charge municipalities for this service; instead, they
charge the permit recipient a small service charge on top of the permit fee. In order to utilize the
services of Oxcart Permit Systems LLC, it is necessary to update the Village Code to require and
regulate permitting of oversized and overweight vehicles traveling upon Village rights-of-way.
Trustee Witko said that, as this is a first reading of this Ordinance, no action will be taken this
evening.

(mgfarmersmarket.com). She also encouraged everyone to attend the indoor Winter Market
on Saturday, December 2, from 9:OOam to 2:OOpm at the Morton Grove Civic Center.
XV. OTHER BUSINESS
Trustee Grear commented that the leaf pick-up service is a great service provided to residents,
and he hoped everyone would help Public Works deliver this service by raking their leaves and
getting them to the street, near the curb, and moving their cars if they're in proximity to the
leaves. The same thing goes for snow plowing, which will be coming up soon. He encouraged
residents to help Public Works keep our streets plowed by moving your cars.
Mayor DiMaria pointed out that Saturday, November 25, is "Small Business Saturday," and
challenged everyone to buy at least one holiday gift from small and local businesses in
Morton Grove. He also encouraged everyone to patronize the Village's restaurants and
other establishments.

result in a levy of $10,625,584 for the Village and $3,338,463 for the Library for a total levy of $13,964,047.
By law the Village is required to levy an additional $3,168,109 for Village debt service payments authorized
by general obligation notes and bonds for a total levy before abatements in the amount of $17,132,156.
However, the Village Board intends to adopt Resolutions that will immediately abate $3,168,109 from the levy
resulting in the net levy as intended by the Corporate Authorities in the amount of $13,964,047. The effective
result is a 3.9% increase in the Village's portion of he tax levy and a 1% increase in the Library's portion of
the tax levy, resulting in an overall increase of 3.2% from the fmal extended tax levy from the previous year.

ordinance provided the levy of taxes for the year 2017 which include sufficient
funds to produce $805,596, which represents the debt service payments for 2018.
The 2018 Village Budget has allocated revenue from the Water Sewer Fund in the
amount of $364,362, and the available fund balance in the Debt Service Fund from

service. The law requires the Village levy taxes as required by Ordinance 10-01,

To eliminate two-way stop control at a mid -block crosswalk on Lyons
Avenue.
To eliminate two-way stop controls at a mid -block crosswalk on Lyons
Avenue. Recently, a resident contacted the Village describing aggressive
driving behavior directed toward a driver making the required stop at the stop
sign at the mid -block crosswalk on Lyons Avenue between Waukegan Road
and Oak Park Avenue (see location map in Exhibit "A") as well as disregard
for the stop signs and the danger to pedestrians that it imposes. After
collaboration with Village staff, the Police Chief enacted a temporary traffic
regulation to replace the stop signs with signs requiring drivers to stop for
pedestrians in the crosswalk. The public was notified of the experiment and
their feedback was solicited. Golf School officials supported the experiment.
Traffic Safety Commission reviewed the case in November and
recommended making the temporary changes permanent.

Considerations or
Requirements:
To establish a permitting process for oversized overweight vehicles travelling through the
Village.
The Village is allowed by state law to issue permits for oversized and overweight
vehicles. While requests for such permits are infrequent, they are complex as the
Village does not currently have legislation or policies in place to issue and regulate
these permits.
The Metropolitan Mayors Conference has developed a streamlined regional
permitting process for oversized and overweight vehicles and has recommended
municipalities utilize Oxcart Permit Systems LLC which offers an online permit
application system that interfaces with the state of Illinois and other municipalities
thereby creating a single point of contact for permitting throughout the region.
Oxcart Permit Systems LLC does not charge municipalities for this service; instead
they charge the permitee a small service charge on top of the permit fee. In order
utilize the services of Oxcart LLC., it is necessary update the Village Code to
require and regulate permitting of oversized and overweight vehicles travelling
upon Village rights of way.
Police, Finance, and Administration Departments
The Village will realize a small amount of revenue from permit registration. The
service fee charged by Oxcart Permit Systems, LLC will be paid by the permitee.
Not Applicable
The Police Department and Finance Department will include the issuance of the permits
into their daily routine as it becomes part of their normal work day
