XI. PRESIDENT'S REPORT
1. Mayor DiMaria proclaimed June 25, 2019 through June 5, 2020, as the "Year of Oakton
Community College" in Morton Grove, noting that OCC's ties to the Village began in 1970 when
the College leased space in the manufacturing facilities on Oakton Street and enrolled its first
class of 832 students.
'Minutes of June 10, 2019 Board Meeting
XI.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT (continued)
Oakton Community College initially offered five degrees and certificates, and now offers more
than 90 areas of study and 1,500 continuing education courses. The College is now located
in campuses in Des Plaines and Skokie; the school's district encompasses nearly 500,000
residents, 10 public high schools, and more than 28,000 businesses.
a. Mayor DiMaria urged all citizens to recognize the impact that Oakton Community College has
had on the Village and on enriching residents' lives.
2. Mayor DiMaria noted that Morton Grove Days 2019 is right around the corner! The event begins
on Wednesday, July 3 and ends on Saturday, July 6. Once again, it will feature live music, a
carnival, parade, fireworks, beer garden, food and loads of family entertainment. Mayor DiMaria
added that Morton Grove does it better than anyone else! He also said the volunteers are
needed, even for as little as a couple of hours. He encouraged everyone to go to
mortongrovedays.org to learn about and sign up for volunteer opportunities, and to pre -order
megabands.
3. Mayor DiMaria stated that the Village has been informed by the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) that Dempster Street will be resurfaced from Waukegan Road east to
Niles Center Road. Construction will not begin before July 8 per the Village's request.
4. Mayor DiMaria announced that "Be Alarmed!" is a fire safety education and smoke alarm
installation program administered cooperatively between the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance (IFSA)
and the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal. The program distributes fire safety education
materials and 10 -year sealed battery ionization technology smoke alarms to fire departments in
the State of Illinois. Local fire departments then deliver the education and install smoke alarms
in residential dwellings within their communities. Although this program is available only to
residential dwellings, the MG Fire Department will be happy to assist or direct landlords and
businesses with any compliance questions or concerns. The MGFD's goal is to ensure that all
residents of the Village are adequately protected by the proper quantity and installation of
residential smoke alarms. This is a free program; residents can apply for free fire alarms and
installation by calling 847-470-5226.
XII. CLERK'S REPORT

STAFF REPORTS
Mr. Czerwinski reported on the Village's Electrical Aggregation survey report. Every year, the
Village surveys the energy market to provide residents access to the most economical electrical
service rates available. This survey was conducted in April 2019, and after reviewing information
available from the Village's broker (NIMEC) and the Citizens Utility Board (CUB), the Village has
concluded that utilizing electric energy supplied by ComEd provides the best value for Morton
Grove residents over the next 12 months. ComEd's current rate is 6.725 cents per kilowatt hour
from June to September, and 7.216 center per kilowatt hour from October to May of 2020.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
F. Trustee Witko:
1. Trustee Witko presented Resolution 19-27, Authorization to Execute a Contract With Hoerr
Construction, Inc. For the 2019 Sewer Lining Program.
a. She explained that 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 infra-
structure. The contract was bid through a public process and must conform to the requirements
of the Prevailing Wage Act.
Trustee Witko said the low bid came from Hoerr Construction from Goodfield, Illinois, with a bid
amount of $247,770. The bid amount is $35,204 more than the engineer's estimate of cost and
$27,770 more than the budgeted amount. 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 sewer to be lined results in an
adjusted contract amount of $218,538. Since this is a unit price contract, the final contract
amount will be based on the actual quantity of work performed.

2. Next, Trustee Witko presented Resolution 19-28, Authorization the Execution of a Contract
With "A Plus Quality Service, Inc." For Janitorial Cleaning Services.
a. She explained that this is a contract for cleaning services for administrative offices of Village
buildings. The contract was bid through a public process, with the lowest bid submitted by A Plus
Quality Service, Inc. However, the completed bid form included errors. The contract documents
reserve the Village's right to waive an informalities or irregularities in a bid. The bid was deemed
to be in the best interest of the Village, and came in at $36,580. The budgeted amount is
$51,900. Since this is a unit price contract, the final contract amount will be based on the actual
quantity of work performed.

RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
1. Violeta Nabong addressed the Board, following up on concerns she had brought to them
earlier this year regarding a local business. She said she and her neighbors have yet to see
any positive changes, and some of the employees' have been rude with their speech and very
disrespectful with their hand gestures. She said that Mr. Czerwinski has indicated that this busi-
ness has received citations, and she and her group wanted to know how many citations the
business has been given and for what, specifically. She said her group had also heard that this
business was looking to relocate, to get out of the residential neighborhood it's currently in, and
she wondered if any permits had been taken out yet.
Another neighbor, Hamid Bangloria, reiterated to the Board his invitation to have them come
and spend a night at his house at 5921 Keeney Ct. so they can "feel his pain." He wondered if he
and his neighbors needed to resort to litigation to get some relief from these problems, adding
that none of them are interested in moving. He noted that higher fences around the business
have been installed, but they're not helping the noise and pollution issues. Mr. Bangloria also
mentioned an incident involving items for donation sitting on his porch, as the donor would be
picking them up. He got a citation and was told to get the items off his porch. He questioned
that.

d.
Estelle Cooperman said she had been given notice that the business may be relocating. She
had gotten 31 signatures on a petition requesting such an action and presented it a Plan Com-
mission meeting. She was asked if everyone who signed was present, which she didn't believe
was even legal. She said this business is operating because they received a variance to conduct
their business in a residential area. Mrs. Cooperman emphatically stated that this business does
not belong in a residential area. She wondered why the Board would even allow them to settle in
a residential area.
Mrs. Cooperman insisted that no one is "bad" here, but the business should never have been
given permission to be there.
Mayor DiMaria stated that actions have been taken, and the Village is on top of the situation.
The business is receptive to relocating. He said that Mr. Czerwinski would respond to their ques-
tions at the conclusion of tonight's meeting.
2. Nancy Lanning appeared before the Board to compliment the Fire Department, citing a recent
situation that occurred with one of her neighbors. She said she was proud of the Fire Depart-
ment's responsive and how well trained they are.

To terminate the Dempster/Waukegan TIF District in order to allow the Village to establish a
new TIF District to support the redevelopment of the Sawmill Station Shopping Center
In 2012, the Village, pursuant to Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17 created the
Dempster/Waukegan TIF District (the "TIF District"), which was comprised of the 26 -acre
Prairie View Shopping Center (the "Shopping Center"), and several adjacent additional parcels
of property. The TIF District was created at the request of the then owners of the Shopping
Center who submitted a plan to redevelop it with assistance from the Village. However, the
redevelopment of the Shopping Center did not occur, the Shopping Center continued to
deteriorate and the EAV of the TIF District continued to decline. The Shopping Center was sold
in 2018 and the new owners have proposed to redevelop the Shopping Center as a modern
lifestyle center with restaurants, a movie theatre, retail stores and a grocery store (the "Sawmill
Station Shopping Center"), but only if the Village provides substantial economic incentives and
assistance.
In order to provide this assistance, the Village Board has determined that it is in the best interest
of the Village to terminate the Dempster/Waukegan TIF District so the properties within the
Dempster/Waukegan TIF District can be incorporated in a new Sawmill Station TIF District.
This Ordinance will repeal Ordinances 12-15, 12-16 and 12-17 and effectively terminate the
Dempster/Waukegan TIF District. Upon the termination of a TIF District, Illinois law requires
the Village to return all surplus tax increment funds to the other taxing districts. However,
because the Dempster/Waukegan TIF District never generated any tax increment funds, there
are no surplus funds that need to be returned.

ORDINANCE NO. 19-04
AN ORDINANCE TERMINATING
THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
DEMPSTER/WAUKEGAN
TAX INCREMENT FINANCLNG DISTRICT
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 1970 Constitution of
the State of Illinois, and can exercise any power and perform any function pertaining to its
government and affairs, including, but not limited to, the power to tax and incur debt; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Morton Grove passed and
approved Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17 which adopted a Redevelopment Plan and Project,
designated a Redevelopment Project Area and has adopted tax increment financing for the area
known as the Dempster/Waukegan Project Area (the "Area");
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act (65 ILCS
5/11-74.4-1 et.seq.) (the "Act"), the initial Equalized Assessed Value ("EAV") (also commonly
known and referred to as the "Base EAV" or "Frozen EAV") of the Dempster/Waukegan
Redevelopment Project Area was determined using the 2010 EAVs of the property within the
Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area which were the most recent Cook County
certified EAVs then available at the time Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17 were adopted;
WHEREAS, since the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area was adopted, it
has failed to generate any tax increment revenue that can be used to support redevelopment
within the Area because the EAVs for the properties within the Dempster/Waukegan
Redevelopment Project Area continued to generally decline and have predominately remained
below the Base EAVs in place at the time the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area
was adopted in 2012;
WHEREAS, the corporate authorities have determined that it is in the best interests of the
Village to terminate the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area so the properties
within the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area can be incorporated in a new
Sawmill Station Redevelopment Project Area;
2
WHEREAS, as the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area has not generated
any tax increment revenue, there are not any surplus tax increment funds that need to be returned
to Cook County for distribution to any taxing bodies upon the teiiuination of the
Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area; and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the President and Board of Trustees of the
Village of Morton Grove, Cook County Illinois, pursuant to their home rule powers as follows:
SECTION 1: Recitals.
The forgoing recitals are a material part of this ordinance and are incorporated herein as if they
were fully set forth in this section.
SECTION 2: Repeal of Ordinances 12-15,12-16 and 12-17.
Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17 which adopted a Redevelopment Plan and Project,
designated a Redevelopment Project Area and has adopted tax increment financing for the area
known as the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area shall each be herein repealed. A
certified copy of this Ordinance shall be filed with the appropriate Cook County Depailments
and officials so that they can be informed of the termination of the Dempster/Waukegan
Redevelopment Project Area by the repeal of the Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17. Because
the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area terminated by the repeal of Ordinances
12-15, 12-16, and 12-17 never generated any tax increment funds, there are not any surplus funds
that need to be returned to Cook County upon the termination of the Dempster/Waukegan
Redevelopment Project Area by the repeal of Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17.
SECTION 3: Future Tax Increment Financing Districts.
Nothing contained in this Ordinance shall be intended to prevent the Village from creating or
establishing a future Redevelopment Project Area that includes some or all of the property that
was included in the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area that was previously
3
created by Ordinances 12-15, 12-16, and 12-17 and terminated by this Ordinance. The Village
herein expresses its continuing interest to assist in the redevelopment of the area that was
included in the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area that was terminated herein as
well as adjacent areas through the use of tax increment financing pursuant to, and in compliance
with, all the terms and conditions contained in the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment
Act.
SECTION 4: Invalidity.
In the event any portion of this Ordinance is found to be invalid, the remaining portions of this
Ordinance shall be severable from any such invalid portion and enforced to the fullest extent
possible.
SECTION 5: Effective date.
This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect immediately after its passage and approval and
shall thereafter be published in pamphlet form as provided by law.

To remove certain non-performing parcels from the Waukegan Road TIF District so that they
may be incorporated in a newly created TIF District
In 1995 the Village, pursuant to Ordinance Numbers 95-8, 95-9, and 95-10, established the
Waukegan Road Tax TIF District in order to support the redevelopment of the commercial
district on Waukegan Road between Dempster Street and Golf Road. Certain parcels in the
Waukegan Road TIF District have not been redeveloped during the term of the Waukegan Road
TIF District including parcels south of Greenwood Avenue. The Village desires to amend the
Waukegan Road TIF District to remove these parcels from the Waukegan Road TIF District and
thereafter add them to the proposed Sawmill Station TIF District. Since this amendment will not
add additional parcels, affect the general land uses in TIF District, change the nature of the
redevelopment project, increase estimated project cost by more than five percent (5%), or
displace additional residential units, the Village may amend the TIF District without holding a
public hearing.
