CLERK'S REPORT Clerk Harford said she attended the quarterly meeting of the Condo Associations on November 28, along with Village Administrator Czerwinski, Fire Chief Rodgers, and Officer Pat Melaney from the Police Department. Topics discussed included the progress of the development at 8700 Waukegan Road; the sale and development of the Prairie View Shopping Center, and the Morton Grove Foundation's Queen of Hearts raffle. Officer Melaney noted that the Police Department is sponsoring a Toys for Tots donation which ends on December 14tH He also warned condo resident's about the rise in parking lot theft. Fire Chief Rodgers promoted the Fire Department's holiday food drive. He also discouraged residents from storing items in their stove (it's a fire hazard). Chief Rodgers requested that, if any resident accidentally hits the fire alarm button in the elevators, they should please stay in the elevators to let the fire depart- ment know that it was a false alarm, so that resources aren't unnecessarily dispatched to respond to the false alarm. Clerk Harford said the next meeting of the Condo Association is February 27, 2019. XIII. STAFF REPORTS A. Village Administrator: 1. Mr. Czerwinski said that yard waste pick-up ends on December 12, but due to the recent storm, leaf pick-up has been extended and will now end on December 14. 2. Mr. Czerwinski said the Church Street bridge is now open, but with vehicle weight restrictions. Trucks and heavier vehicles can't use it. The restrictions will be in place until the permanent repairs are made. 3. Mr. Czerwinski provided an update on the water project. He said that, last Friday, the last piece of pipe for the water transmission from Evanston was put in the ground. Today, system flushing commenced; that is, a slug of water is being moved at three feet per second to flush the line free of any construction debris. There is six miles of pipe from Evanston to the Nagle Avenue pump- ing station and then another two miles of pipe to the Morton Grove and Niles individual pumping stations. The intermediate water station at Church and McDaniel in Skokie will be completed in early April and will help boost water pressure. The Nagle Avenue pumping station will not be ready until this summer, but Mr. Czerwinski said that we're doing a by-pass and installing some temporary pumps to move the water until the pumping station is complete. Flushing and chlorination is occurring. a. Mr. Czerwinski said the system is currently in "winter weather shutdown" status. Approximately 40 working days will be needed to complete the standpipe; this is anticipated to be completed and operational in late spring. When done, it will hold 7 million gallons of water, which will be enough to supply Morton Grove and Niles residents' with one day's worth of water. 4 Minutes of December 10, 2018 Board Meetin. XIII. STAFF REPORTS (continued) A. Village Administrator: (continued) b. Mr. Czerwinski said there will be a phased initial service; staff will be working on getting IEPA sign -off on the flushing and chlorination over the holidays, and optimistically, residents will be drinking a combination of Evanston water and City of Chicago water by December 27, 2018. c. The intermediate booster station mentioned earlier is east of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's canal. It will help move the water along, so that the Evanston system is not over - pressurized. d. As far as the budget, Mr. Czerwinski said it's on target. Of the $100 million dollars for construction of the system $22 million remains in construction and engineering costs. Operation of the system, including the purchase of water, will cost $5.3 million per year. The initial rate will be $3.50 per every 1,000 gallons. (The current rate is $4.00 per every 1,000 gallons.) The savings will go back into the system for maintenance, replacement of pipes placed in the 30's and 40's that are now starting to deteriorate, etc. There will be first year/every year savings! e. In terms of "next steps," Mr. Czerwinski said that the MG -N Water Commission approved an operating contract, and Niles will be approving it as well. Niles has a vested interest and the capacity to provide some staffing for the booster station, the Nagle Avenue pumping station, and the safety and maintenance of the eight miles of pipe. Mr. Czerwinski said that both Niles and Morton Grove had felt from the inception that no additional employees would be needed. The Niles employees will be compensated from the MG -N Water Commission. f. Mr. Czerwinski said that "full completion" of the water system (including lawn restoration) is anticipated by July 31, 2019. There is discussion of holding a ribbon -cutting for the opening of the Nagle Avenue pumping station sometime during the summer, along with closing Nagle Avenue down for a block party with both Niles and Morton Grove residents participating. Full restoration, including any plantings that may need to be done, will be completed by the fall of 2019. This coincides with the contracts and the funding received from the IEPA. Mayor DiMaria asked the Board if there were any questions for Mr. Czerwinski. There were none. g. h. Mayor DiMaria extended his congratulations to the entire team, stating that this was a "major undertraining accomplished in a very short period of time." He said it's a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the team, noting that a lot of hours has been spent on accomplishing this great legacy project. i. Mr. Czerwinski introduced John Pietron, who is Morton Grove's representation on the MG -N Water Commission (there is also a representative from Niles and from the County). Mr. Czerwinski asked Bill Balling, Superintendent, if he had any comments. He said that he felt good about where things are at in terms of completion of the project, and thought the organizational structure would work well, adding that using the Niles Water Division gives further depth to the structure. Larry Thomas of Stanley Consultants, the engineering firm used for this project, thanked everyone for their confidence. J• Mr. Czerwinski also gave a shout out to Niles; the cooperation of their staff, Board, and Mayor has been fantastic! 5 > NMi iii es of December 10; 2 18 Board Meetin g XIII.

Trustee Grear presented Resolution 18-72, Authorizing a Second Amendment to a Professional Services Agreement By and Between the Village of Morton Grove and SAFEbuilt Illinois, LLC For Select Building and Inspectional Staffing and Plan Review Services. He explained that, in 2016, after various personnel changes within the Department of Building and Inspectional Services, the Village Administrator directed staff to review staffing levels and evaluate the benefits of outsourcing some functions of the Department. The Village solicited proposals from three companies who specialize in providing such services to municipalities, and after reviewing the proposals and contacting references, it was determined that SAFEbuilt Illinois, LLC was best suited to provide these services to the Village. In January 2018, the Village amended the original contract to add Building Official Services associated hourly rate, extended the contract another 12 months (ending December 31, 2018), and negotiated some modest inflationary increases the hourly inspector, plan review, and code enforcement rates. In July of 2018, the Village partnered with the Village of Glenview and other surrounding communities on a joint Request For Proposal process for defined building and inspectional services. After review the proposals and participating in interviews with interested service providers, the Village determined SAFEbuilt was the most qualified, responsive, and responsible bidder for its staffing and plan review needs. With this second amendment, the Village will benefit from negotiated group rates and will have the ability, as needed, to share resources with other area communities that have selected to renew or begin contract services with SAFEbuilt. This resolution authorizes the Village Administrator to negotiate a second amendment to the contract to add services, such as plan technician and development review center, modify hourly rates as negotiated through the group bidding process, and extent the contract for an additional year, to expire December 31, 2019.

This proposed amendment will also "clean-up," clarify, and modernize commercial retail and commercial service use classifications and associated definitions to eliminate confusing and outdated language and increase the Village's ability to respond to changing market demands, while retaining the necessary distinction for other commercial use classifications. In addition, this text amendment includes a new Small Lot Single -Family Development residential land use, which will allow for detached single-family homes to be developed on smaller lots in the C/R or R3 General Residence Districts, in a manner consistent with existing surrounding residential development patterns. a.
