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.

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 3D'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.
9•
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.
J•
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.
Mr. Czerwinski also gave a shout out to Niles; the cooperation of their staff, Board, and Mayor
has been fantastic!

XIV. TRUSTEES' REPORTS
A. Trustee Grear:
1. 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.
a.
b.
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.
Trustee Grear moved to approve Resolution 18-72, seconded by Trustee Minx.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
1. Trustee Minx presented Ordinance 18-20, Approving a Text Amendment to Modify
Selected Residential and Commercial Regulations of the Unified Development Code,
Title 12, In Support of Transit -Oriented Development and Economic Development Goals.
This is the second reading of this Ordinance.
Trustee Minx explained that the proposed text amendment is intended to further encourage
transit -oriented, pedestrian -friendly active neighborhoods around the train station as envisioned
in various Village plans (Lehigh/Ferris Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan, Lehigh/Ferris
Framework Plan, Strategic Plan, Industrial Areas Plan, etc.) This text amendment is intended to
amend density controls, particularly for multifamily, attached and mixed use developments; to
resolve inconsistencies and reflect actual development practices/goals; to amend standards for
specific types of developments, particularly in the CIR Commercial/Residential District; to reflect
goals established in the Lehigh/Ferris Framework Plan; to update select parking regulations
based on proximity to the train station and public parking lots, and address the need for visitor/
guest parking requirements; and to establish design standards to enhance and encourage
active pedestrian -focused development, particularly in the CIR District. 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 CIR or R3 General
Residence Districts, in a manner consistent with existing surrounding residential development
patterns.
