MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE PRESIDENT
AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, HELD AT THE
RICHARD T. FLICKINGER MUNICIPAL CENTER
CALL TO ORDER
I & Village President Dan DiMaria convened the Special Meeting of the Village Board at
11. 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of Village Hall and led the assemblage in the Pledge
of Allegiance.
Village Clerk Eileen Harford called the roll. Present were: Trustees Bill Grear, Rita Minx,
John Thill, Connie Travis, and Janine Witko. Trustee Ed Ramos was absent with notice.
SPECIAL REPORTS
1. Presentation and Discussion of Sawmill Station
Mr. Czerwinski provided an overview of the TIF Districts within the Village, where they are and
how they're doing, as well as looking at the newest TIF District, Sawmill Station.
a. He said the Waukegan Road TIF is nearing the end of its term, and noted that it has served its
original purpose of removing a blighted area and reimaging the Waukegan Road corridor. The
Lehigh -Ferris TIF, which is the area around the METRA station, expires in 2023, and has seen
some success with The Woodlands. There are other projects in the offing for that area as well.
b. As for the Dempster -Waukegan TIF, Mr. Czerwinski said the Village is making some
modifications to it and changing its name. A portion of the Waukegan Road TIF will be
added to it, and the areas containing the AT&T building and the public storage facility, both of
which are performing, will be removed from it. The TIF will now be known the "Sawmill Station
TIF." Mr. Czerwinski added that there is currently stagnation at the northwest corner of Dempster
and Waukegan, and it was felt that the proposed Sawmill Station redevelopment would stimulate
opportunities at that corner , so that corner of Dempster and Waukegan will also be included in
the Sawmill Station TIF.
c. The area contains vacant property; over 65% of it is blighted and deteriorated. It also contains
some public land, which will be maintained. The Village is looking forward to the opportunities for
residential, commercial, or retail properties the developers will bring forward.
d. To make it a TIF District, it has to establish itself. Mr. Czerwinski said that it is a 65 -acre area
which had 16 buildings on it (some have now been demolished), which were below code,
obsolete, had excessive vacancies, were deteriorated, lacked adequate utilities, and lacked
growth in EAV.
e. Mr. Czerwinski said the primary goal of the Sawmill Station TIF would be to facilitate a variety of
improvements that will stimulate commercial redevelopment within the study area.

SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
The objectives are to replace, repair, construct and/or improve public utilities and infrastructure;
to encourage rehabilitation of and/or new construction of more modern commercial spaces; to
facilitate the assembly, preparation, and marketing of available sites in the study area; to provide
resources for improvements and renovations to existing properties and businesses; and to
provide resources for streetscaping, landscaping, and signage to improve the image,
attractiveness, and accessibility of the study area.
Mr. Czerwinski said that residents who drive past the Prairie View Plaza look at it and say, "Why
isn't something happening here?" and people from other towns drive past it and think to them-
selves, "Thank God this isn't MY town." This is an opportunity for things to happen, and the
Board have given Village staff great direction to bring success to the area.
1. Mr. Czerwinski then presented Resolution 19-24, Fixing the Time and Place for a Public
Hearing to Consider the Approval of a Redevelopment Plan and Project Area for the
Sawmill Station Redevelopment Project Area, and the Implementation of Tax Increment
Financing Therefor, and Convening a Joint Review Board.
He said this Resolution will authorize the convening of a Joint Review Board so that other
taxing bodies may weigh in on this project on May 22, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. at Village Hall. The
Resolution also sets the time and place for a public hearing to consider the establishment of the
TIF District for 7:00 p.m. on June 24, 2019 at Village Hall. The Village will provide notice of the
public hearing in the Pioneer Press as required by law.
a.
Trustee Minx moved and Trustee Witko seconded the motion to approve Resolution 19-24 as
presented and read by the Village Administrator be adopted.
After a full discussion thereof, including a public recital of the nature of the matter being
considered and such other information as would inform the public of the nature of the business
being conducted, the President directed that the roll be called for a vote upon the motion to adopt
said resolution as read.
Upon the roll being called, the following Trustees voted AYE: Trustee Grear, Trustee Minx,
Trustee Thill,Trustee Travis, and Trustee Witko.

as presented, seconded by Trustee Witko. Motion passed unanimously via voice vote.
Mayor DiMaria said there are no Special Reports this evening. He asked for a motion to move

Trustee Minx moved, seconded by Trustee Thill, to alter the Agenda and move Residents'
Comments—Non Agenda Items to be in place of Special Reports. Motion passed unanimously
via voice vote.
VIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
1. Bill Luksha, 18 -year resident and volunteer Sea Scout leader, said that he has recently joined
the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and in that capacity, announce that National Safe Boating Week
begins on May 18 and runs through May 24. He noted that the Auxiliary has a recreational
boating safety program which includes seminars, training courses, and a vessel safety check
program. Additionally, the Auxiliary does patrols from Wilmette Harbor to tow boaters that may
need it or to save them if they've gone overboard.
a. Mayor DiMaria thanked Mr. Luksha for coming this evening and making people aware; as we
begin to have more consistently warm weather, this is something that every recreational boater
should know about.
2. Sabeel Ahmed, the resident who, along with his family, had been recognized by the Village
Board in February for his willingness to assist his neighbors with shoveling, shopping, driving,
etc. during the polar vortex, came before the Board with a greeting of peace. He noted that this
is the 8th day of Ramadan, and commented that Muslims fast during Ramadan because it was
commanded in the Koran. Also, all previous prophets of God fasted.
Minutes ofMay 13 2019 Board Meeting
VIII
RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)
a. Sabeel said that Ramadan is not only a time of fasting from food, it's also a time of fasting from
wrongdoing. It is a time to help humanity and love your neighbor. He then offered each member
of the Board gifts on behalf of himself, his family, and the Muslim community.
b. Mayor DiMaria thanked Sabeel and the Ahmed family very much for their graciousness and
kindness.
3. JoAnne Rapp, a long-time resident, thanked the Village for significantly fining the former owners
of the Prairie View Shopping Center so that they'd finally sell it. Ms. Rapp said she was speaking
as a member of Vision Morton Grove, and said she has met with the Village Administrator and
Village Board members for the past several months. She said the Village is proud that 13-14%
of its housing stock is considered "affordable," noting that local government is encouraged to
provide affordable housing. She felt that the proposed 250 -unit development at Sawmill Station
should also be 13% affordable, which would be 33 of its 250 units. This would be in keeping with
the Village's fair housing ordinance and its comprehensive plan. She appeared at the Plan
Commission hearing and mentioned it there, but the Plan Commission did not consider, and the
documents posted indicated no follow-up. She asked the Board what is their responsibility, and
what can they say about no follow-up to the inquiry made at the Plan Commission hearing.
a. Ms. Rapp noted that Ordinance 19-03 on tonight's Agenda approves the Sawmill Station's plans,
and further noted that the developer has asked that the second reading of the Ordinance be
waived, so this is a big decision.
4. Bob Burkhart, 6034 Grove Court, said that this is a very significant moment, and many
people have been waiting for this day. He thanked Village Administrator Ralph Czerwinski and
Economic Development Director Nancy Radzevich for all the information Vision Morton Grove
has received. He said that he, too, was speaking for the group.
a. Mr. Burkhart said there are two misconceptions about affordable housing. He said the group is
not talking about Section 8 housing—they're talking about affordable housing, which is, housing
that people who live and work in Morton Grove and earn between $40,000 and $70,000 (on
average) per year can afford. The other misconception has to do with percentages. Admittedly,
the percentages can be confusing. Morton Grove has 13% of its housing stock as affordable,
Skokie has 20%, and Niles has 30%. There is no law that requires affordable housing at Sawmill
Station, but there is a moral commitment by the Village. He said he would like to see some units
included that would be "affordable." He encouraged the Board to work with the developers to
make this happen. Mr. Burkhart noted that one thing that everyone's faith or religious beliefs
have in common is to help people in need. He asked the Board to live up to the Village's tagline,
"Amazingly Open."
IX. SPECIAL REPORTS
Mayor DiMaria apologized and introduced Plan Commission Chairman Steve Blonz to give
his report on Plan Commission Case PC -19-02, Requesting Approval of a Planned Unit
Development and Subdivision to Construct a New Lifestyle Center at the Southeast Cor-
ner of Dempster and Waukegan Road.

and bicycle access to adjacent areas. The proposed buildings will include approximately

spaces. Construction is anticipated to commence during the summer of 2019. A portion of the
commercial improvements is anticipated to be completed in 2020, and delivery of the entire
project in planned for 2023.

Mayor DiMaria said the Village was introducing a Village -wide safety program called "Be Safe—
Be Seen. The program strives to increase public awareness of the importance of visibility while
walking, running, or biking during the day and at night. Wearing reflective and light-colored
apparel can assist cyclists and pedestrians operating on or near roadways to be seen by passing
Vehicles. The mayor added that reflective armbands will be distributed by members of the
Commission on Aging and the Community Relations Commission at various events over the next
month.
Mayor DiMaria announced that the Morton Grove Police Department (MGPD) will again be
participating in the "Cop on a Rooftop" event this coming Friday to raise money for Special
Olympics Illinois. He encouraged people to join them at the new Dunkin Donuts at
9480 Waukegan Road from 5:00 a.m. to noon. Anyone making a donation will receive a free
donut, and Torch Run merchandise will be offered for sale. For more information, check the
Facebook page of the MGPD or Illinois Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.
Mayor DiMaria congratulated the MGPD for winning the Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge. He
said that, in mid-April, the police department submitted an application for the 2018-2019 Illinois
Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Challenge, an annual competition where
departments' traffic safety programs are judged against certain criteria, such as policies and
procedures, officer training, recognition, public education, enforcement, and effectiveness.
Morton Grove took first place in its category (Municipal Police Departments with 36 to 50 sworn
members). Second and third place finishers were the Algonquin and Woodridge Police
Departments, respectively.
Mayor DiMaria said that special appreciation goes to Deputy Chief Mike Weitzel, Commander
Dan Stueber, Sgt. Andrew Novak, and Officer Steve Litkowiak, who are responsible for the
Village's traffic safety program, and who put the application together with help from Support
Services Manager Gil Santiago.
5. Last but not least, Mayor DiMaria reminded the Board and assemblage that the Village and
the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County will host a document destruction and small
electronics recycling event this Saturday at the Civic Center from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

XIII. STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator:
1. Mr. Czerwinski presented Ordinance 19-03, Approving a Mixed Use Planned Unit Develop-
ment, A Subdivision and Related Waivers for a Commercial/Retail/Dining/Entertainment
Lifestyle Center and a Six -Story 250 Unit Residential Structure, All on a 26 -Acre Parcel of
Land at 6711-6947 Dempster Street and 8745 Waukegan Road, Morton Grove, Illinois.
Mr. Czerwinski thanked the Board for providing the energy and the direction to make the corner
of Dempster and Waukegan thrive again. He offered special thanks to Corporation Counsel Lis-
ton and to every member of Village staff, including outgoing Director of Economic Development,
Nancy Radzevich, who has worked tirelessly on this project.

A. Village Administrator: (continued)
b. Mr. Czerwinski said that, pursuant to Plan Commission Case PC 19-02, reported on earlier this
evening by Plan Commission Chairman Steve Blonz, this project has been recommended for
approval by the Plan Commission, Appearance Commission, and Traffic Safety Commission,
subject to meeting 15 conditions.
c. Mr. Czerwinski further explained that, since the next Board meeting is not until June, and since
timing is critical to meet certain construction dates, the Applicant has requested that the second
reading of this Ordinance be waived.
Trustee Thill moved to waive the second reading of Ordinance 19-03, seconded by Trustee Minx.

d. Trustee Grear inquired about the time sensitivity because, as a general rule, he does not like to
waive second readings.
e. Mr. Czerwinski said the developer needs a certain confidence level as it works to obtain leases,
funding sources, etc. To delay taking action on this Ordinance until June would have a significant
impact on a number of things, including the availability of certain construction materials.
f. Jay Eck, one of the principals of IM Kensington, said the waiver was requested because there are
a massive amount of improvements that need to be done on this property before winter. He said
to take on the many tasks involved in these improvements without the Planned Unit Development
being approved would be foolish. That is why IM Kensington had requested that the PUD be
approved this evening, so as to not lose 30 days of construction. Mr. Eck said their end goal is to
have retailers open there next summer. And the retailers he's spoken with are all happy knowing
they will be operating in Morton Grove by then.
g.
h.
Trustee Witko asked if the plans for the residential unit are "written in stone." Mr. Czerwinski said
that there's still design that needs to happen, but for the most part, they are committed to what
has been presented. The PUD will grant them the ability to build a 250-uit complex, but aspects
of that might change, because it will be market-driven. Currently, it's geared to attract younger
people without school age children. The mix is proposed to be 45 studio units, 155 one -bedroom
units, and 50 two-bedroom units. The plan is for a 6 -story building and a parking structure—
that's pretty much set in stone; however, the mix might change.
Trustee Minx then moved to adopt Ordinance 19-03, seconded by Trustee Ramos.

a. She explained that Ordinance 09-15 was for the issuance of $4,920,000 in general obligation re-
funding bonds, Series 2009A. The ordinance provided that the levy of taxes for the year 2018
should include sufficient funds to pay $653,200 for the debt service payment on said bonds. The
Village's 2019 Budget has allocated revenue from the Waukegan Road TIF Fund in the amount
of $653,200 to pay for this debt service. After all abatements, the net levy for this bond series is
zero ($0).

6:00 p.m. at Melzer School. He encouraged everyone to attend, saying the Village welcomes
everyone's input. And it's a great time to get any questions answered or concerns addressed.
2. Mayor DiMaria swore in Village Trustee John Thill. Trustee Thill thanked the Village, the voters,
and the Action Party. He said he has been a trustee for the past 12 years and felt that things
must be going right, because if they were not, the election would have been a contested one.
He complimented Village Administrator Czerwinski for putting together a fantastic team, saying
"they do an outstanding job."
3. Mayor DiMaria next swore in Village Trustee Rita Minx. She thanked everyone and said she
was honored to have been elected to a third term. She said that working with her colleagues
on the Board is phenomenal, and said the Village staff is incredible. She said she's lived in
Morton Grove most of her life, and her husband's family goes way, way back in the Village. She
said the Village has been "promising" in the past, but now it's in a period of renewed growth, a
resurrection like "nothing we've seen for 40 years."

OTHER BUSINESS (continued)
4. Mayor DiMaria then swore in Village Trustee Janine Witko. Trustee Witko thanked the voters.
She also thanked Mayor DiMaria for being an inspirational leader, and thanked Village staff for
making a difficult job interesting and a lot of fun, calling the staff "amazing."
5. Mayor DiMaria said it was an honor to work with all of the trustees. He said one thing that's
great about Morton Grove is the fact that the Village has "continuity of leadership," which really
does matter. Everyone on the Board has made it dear that their main goal is moving Morton
Grove forward. It can't be done without a good team. Mayor DiMaria said that he sometimes
hears criticism that "all the Board member just vote "yes." He said that people don't understand
that everyone provides input; everyone has an opinion; has talked with the Village Administrator
and/or Corporation Counsel; until finally a piece of legislation is crafted that everyone can agree
on. He said that doesn't happen in Springfield, and it doesn't happen in Washington. The Board
and staff of the Village working together is what moves Morton Grove forward.

To authorize the Village President to execute and the Village Clerk to attest to a
contract with Hoerr Construction, Inc. for the 2019 Sewer Lining Program.
The Village has an annual program, dependent on funding appropriations, to
perform sewer lining in order to maintain the flow capacity of the Village's sewer
pipe infrastructure. This contract was bid through a public process in accordance
with the Village Code. The contract was advertised and sealed bids were received.
The bid tabulation is attached as Exhibit "A". This contract must conform to the
requirements of the Prevailing Wage Act. The low bidder is Hoerr Construction
from Goodfield, Illinois with a bid amount of $247,770.00. The budgeted amount is
$220,000. The low bid amount is $35,204 more than the engineer's estimate of cost
and $27,770 more than the budgeted amount. The qualifications of Hoerr
Construction were found to be acceptable. The contract documents include a
provision allowing the Village to decrease the amount of work included in the
contract and Hoerr Construction is agreeable to doing so. A practical decrease of the
length of sewers to be lined results in an adjusted contract amount of $218,538.00.
