Winning entries will be drawn at a March Village Board meeting. 4. The mayor discussed the 2020 Census, noting that census results have an impact on planning and funding for the Village and regional concerns ranging from health clinics to highways, from emergency response to education programs, such as Head Start and college tuition assistance, and so much more. The 2020 Census is the first time you can respond online, as well as by phone or mail. The answers you provide are only used to produce statistics—the Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in any way that could identify you or anyone else in your home. a. Mayor DiMaria said that, in mid-March, homes will begin receiving invitations to complete the Census. April 1, Census Day is observed nationwide. By this date, every home will have received an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. Throughout April, Census takers will begin visiting collect students who live on campus, people living in senior centers, and others who live among large groups of people. Then, in May and July, Census takers will begin visiting homes that haven't responded to the 2020 Census to help make sure everyone is counted. b. Mayor DiMaria reminded everyone to remember that the 2020 Census is more than a population count. It's an opportunity to shape the future of our community. He said, "It's vital to make sure all who are living in Morton Grove are counted." He completed the 2020 Census Pledge and challenged all residents to do the same. 5. Mayor DiMaria announced that PACE is contemplating changes in its bus routes, one of which will affect Morton Grove. Route 210 is a PACE route running through the Village; it connects Glenbrook Hospital to Lincolnwood Town Center with stops down Waukegan, across Dempster, down Ferris, and along Lincoln Avenue. PACE is proposing to discontinue this route. Anyone who'd like to weigh in on this is invited to attend any of six public hearings occurring on February 11, and 18. Location and times of these events can be found at PaceBus.com or by calling PACE at 847-364-7223. 6. Mayor DiMaria said that the Niles Township District for Special Education is in search of para- professionals to work with students with diverse learning needs ages 3-21.If you'd like more information, please reach out to Tarin Kendrick at tkendrick@ntdse.org.

Paper applications should be returned to: Cook County Clerk's Office, Mail Voting Unit, 69 W. Washington Street, Room 500, Chicago, IL 60602. 2 Minutes of February 10, 2020 Board Meeting XIII. A. Village Administrator: STAFF REPORTS 1. Mr. Czerwinski remarked, regarding the PACE bus route hearings, that PACE is looking to reduce the number of bus routes and wants to move to more of a "grid" pattern. PACE reports that ridership on the 210 bus has diminished significantly. Elimination of this bus route could impact Morton Grove and Skokie residents. Mr. Czerwinski said the Village is trying to persuade PACE to hold off on any changes until after Sawmill Station is up and running—with its retail and dining, offerings plus. a grocery store, some residents who want to get there may help increase the ridership on this route. He said he'd like to see PACE wait until 2021 or 2022 to make any changes. 2. Mr. Czerwinski then introduced Ordinance 20-07, Amending Title 1, Chapter 8, of the Municipal Code by Adding a New Section 17 to be Entitled "Anti -Harassment Policy for Elected Officials." He explained that the Illinois General Assembly enacted Public Act 101-0221 on August 9, 2019, which requires each governmental unit to adopt a resolution/ordinance establishing an anti - harassment policy for public officials. This ordinance will adopt and incorporate the Act's required policy into the Municipal Code. Mr. Czerwinski said that staff is requesting the second reading of this Ordinance be waived. Trustee Minx moved to waive the second reading, seconded by Trustee Ramos. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. Grear Tr. Thill Tr. Minx Tr. Travis Tr. Ramos an Tr.

Mr. Czerwinski presented Resolution 20-11, Authorizing a Land Use License Agreement with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County to Locate, Operate, and Maintain an Existing 160 Linear Feet of a 42 Inch Storm Sewer and Concrete Headwall Servicing the Sawmill Station Property and Running Through the Forest Preserve District Property. a. He explained that IM Kensington MG LLC, a Delaware limited liability company has purchased the 26 -acre former Prairie View Shopping Center and will be developing a new lifestyle center with new infrastructure, a 250 -unit apartment building, and over 200,000 square feet of retail space which will include dining, shopping, and entertainment facilities, which shall be known as Sawmill Station. The Developer wants to obtain a license from the Cook County Forest Preserve District to locate, operate, and maintain an existing 160 linear feet of a 42 -inch storm sewer and concrete headwall which shall service the Sawmill Station property over a portion of the Forest Preserve property to provide a storm water outfall into the North Branch Chicago River. 3 Minutes of February 10, 2020 Board Meeting XIII. STAFF REPORTS (continued) A. Villaoe Administrator: (continued) b. The Developer went to the Forest Preserve District, but they are only willing to grant the license to the Village, if the Village will act as the licensee. The Developer is willing and has agreed to reimburse the Village for all expenses with respect to the license, and will also indemnify and hold the Village harmless from any claims related to the License or the Developer's construction, operation, maintenance, repair, or replacement of the Storm Sewer on or over the Forest Preserve property. c. The License has a one-time fee of $18,267.72 minus a $500 application fee for a total outlay of $17,767.72, which shall be reimbursed by the Developer. Trustee Minx moved to approve Resolution 20-11, seconded by Trustee Travis. d. Trustee Grear asked when the Village would be reimbursed. Mr. Czerwinski said the Village will be reimbursed as the work occurs. e. Trustee Thill asked about the Village being indemnified. Mr. Czerwinski said the indemnification will be transferred to the Developer. Mr. Czerwinski said this 42" sewer line has been in place since the 1960's. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District is onboard with the water outfall into the North Branch Chicago River, as well as with the planned detention areas under the park- ing lot. The first inch of rain that falls will be retained on the property and slowly trickle into the river. There will be no digging and no trees will be impacted. This will be a vastly improved con- trolled environment than has been existing or that currently exists. f. Trustee Thill asked if Sawmill Station would continue to allow the existing bike path. Mr. Czerwinski said that would probably be the next thing staff Village brings to the Village Board. The Developer is currently working on the Sawmill Station infrastructure. They will also be putting together some exhibits to make a hard surface (paved) connection from the bike path to the southeast corner of the shopping center. That area will include signage and be fenced appropriately. Trustee Thill noted that many people use the existing bike path, not only for biking, but jogging too. Mr. Czerwinski said that's one of the top 10 things the Village inquired about. He said the Developer is fulfilling its obligations, and currently this is in design engineering review with the Cook County Forest Preserve District. Mayor DiMaria called for the vote on Resolution 20-11. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. Grear Tr. Minx Tr. Thill Tr. Travis EyA B.

This is the second reading of this Ordinance. Trustee Grear explained that, in order to comply with the State of Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, which allows individuals over age 21 to lawfully possess and consume cannabis (subject to limitations), the Police Department has reviewed the Village's Code and has recom- mended several amendments to it. These changes including deleting broad prohibitions relating to the possession of cannabis and cannabis paraphernalia by persons over age 21; incorporating by reference the Illinois Cannabis Control Act, the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act, and the Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act; establishing fees in. the event the Village allows Cannabis Business Establishments in the future; establishing fines for cannabis related violations; and amending Village Code provisions for administrative towing and impounding of vehicles to include felony possession of cannabis. Trustee Grear moved to adopt Ordinance 20-04, seconded by Trustee Thill. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. Grear Tr. Thill Tr. Minx Tr. Travis Tr. Ramos EyA Tr. Witko �e 2. Trustee Grear invited anyone interested in getting an up -close look at what the Police Department does to sign up for the Village's 5th Citizens Police Academy, a 10 -week program designed to give participants an understanding of the operation of the MG Police Department and a working knowledge of what law enforcement is all about. Classes are held once a week, on Tuesday evenings, and are approximately two hours long (6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.).

Trustee Travis: TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) 1. Trustee Travis presented Resolution 20-05, Authorizing an Agreement with US Digital Designs of Tempe, Arizona for the Purchase of G2 Fire Station Alerting Systems for Fire Stations 4 and 5 and an Agreement with Digicom Installations of Wauconda, Illinois, For the Installation of the Systems. a. b. c. d. e. f. She explained that the MG Fire Department is a member of the Regional Emergency Dispatch (RED) Center for emergency dispatch services. RED Center will discontinue dispatching through the current T1 circuits by the end of 2020 and will solely utilize the G2 Fire Alerting System designed and manufactured by US Digital Designed of Tempe, AZ. The Village has received a proposal to purchase the G2 Fire Station Alerting System from US Digital Designs, including system licenses, hardware, controllers, components, and system configuration at a cost of $68,821.43 ($37,914.55 for Fire Station 4 and $30,906.88 for Fire Station 5). The Village solicited proposals for the installation of these systems from Digicom Installations of Wauconda and Chicago Communications LLC of Elmhurst, who are the only authorized installers of the G2 Fire Alerting System. The proposal from Digicom Installations in the amount of $11,472 ($6,369 for Fire Station 4 and $5,103 for Fire Station 5) was the lowest responsible proposal, for a total to cost to purchase and install this equipment of $80,293.43. Trustee Travis said this Resolution will authorize the Village Administrator to negotiate and enter into agreements with US Digital Designs for the purchase of G2 Fire Station Alerting System and Digicom Installations: for the installation of the systems consistent with their proposals, and to approve the extended warranty agreement in the amount of $5,500 per year after the 18 -month initial warranty expires. Trustee Travis moved, seconded by Trustee Minx, to approve Resolution 20-05. Trustee Ramos asked if the $5,500 per year warranty would cover both Station 4 and Station 5. Mr. Czerwinski responded that it would cover both. Trustee Grear askedhow many municipalities participated in the RED Center. Fire Chief Frank Rodgers said there are 14. Trustee Grear noted that all 14 would have to change out their current T1 circuits; was any thought given to having everyone get the same company? Trustee Minx said she thought perhaps Trustee Grear was referring to getting discounted pricing if the G2 Fire Alerting Systems had been purchased "in bulk." Chief Rodgers said, in this case, the Village wanted to get the best possible deal it could. Other municipalities are getting systems with more "bells and whistles," Morton Grove is getting a basic system. And all the installations are personalized as well. It made more sense to do this independently of the rest of the RED Center municipalities. 6 MinUtes 6f February 10, 2020 Board Meetih. XIV. E.

F. Trustee Witko: (continued) TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) a. Trustee Witko explained that Edison School had made significant site improvements in 2018 which eliminate buses staging, standing, and parking on Village streets for the pick-up and delivery of students. Village officials worked with school officials about safety concerns they have on public streets with the new site circulation. Experimental regulations were implemented in August 2019 and were evaluated after several months to determine if they should be made permanent. Feedback was solicited from the public through the website, social media, and direct mail. b. The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed the matter at their January meeting and recommended making the temporary regulations permanent. This includes making parking restrictions on Central Avenue to eliminate bus parking and adding time restrictions for parking on Central Avenue. The regulations in this Ordinance are intended to prevent traffic during drop-off and pick-up times from entering Monroe Street westbound from Gross Point Road and Linder Ave- nue, prohibit left turns from southbound Central Avenue into Edison School's northwest entrance, restrict parking near Edison School's Central Avenue entrance, and amend several bus parking zones adjacent to the school.

Next, Trustee Witko presented Resolution 20-06, Authorizing the Execution of a Contract with Geary Electric, Inc. to Install Five (5) Light Poles, Fixtures, and Controls at the American Legion Memorial Civic Center, 6140 Dempster, Morton Grove, IL. a. She explained that the field on the north side of the Civic Center is host not only to the Village's annual Fourth of July Festival, but additional Village, American Legion, and Civic Center functions/events. Public Works has utilized existing trees to string lights for the Fourth of July event; however, due to attrition, stringing lights from one tree to the next will no longer be feasible. Public Works staff, assisted by Graybar Electronics and KSA Lighting, conducted a photometric study of the area to determine the appropriate level of lighting necessary to Tight the field adjacent to the north side of the Civic Center facility. Bid proposals were then advertised and four sealed bids were received, with Geary Electric, Inc. being the low bidder at $30,988. The Morton Grove Days Commission has agreed to reimburse the Village the full amount of $30,988 for this project. The Village will outlay the monies and be appropriately reimbursed by the Morton Grove Days Commission. Trustee Witko moved, seconded by Trustee Travis, to approve Resolution 20-06. b. Trustee Grear commented, as a member of the Morton Grove Days Commission, that he was very proud that the Commission was able to raise this money and pay for this much-needed. project. c. Trustee Thill asked if the lights would be shielded; he was concerned about the residents living adjacent to that field.. Mr. Czerwinski said the lights would be appropriately shielded. 8 Minutes of February 10, 2020 Board Meetin.' XIV. F. Trustee Witko: (continued) TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) d. Trustee Thill also asked how this will impact the Civic Center. Mr. Czerwinski said he felt that having a viable Tight source there would very likely increase rentals for parties and events.

Trustee Witko then presented Resolution 20-07, Authorizing a Task Order with Ciorba Group, Inc. For Design and Construction Engineering Services for the 2020 Beckwith Bridge Rehabilitation. a. She explained that the bridge on Beckwith Road over the North Brach Chicago River was inspected in 2019. The inspection identified eight necessary maintenance items. Public Works intends to complete seven of those items in 2020. The scope of the design and construction engineering for the repair work exceeds the capacity of Village staff. b. Trustee Witko said that Resolution 15-66, approved in October of 2015, authorizes staff to negotiate a task order contract with Ciorba Group, Inc. for professional engineering services. Ciorba Group, Inc. is the Village's bridge program manager and has satisfactorily managed rehabilitation work on the bridge in the past. The plans will include abutment repairs, super- structure repairs, and full depth deck patches and overlay replacement. The construction work is planned to be completed in the summer of 2020. This engineering work will cost $25,932. Trustee Witko moved to approve Resolution 20-07, seconded by Trustee Travis. c. Trustee Thill asked if it's known yet what the full cost of repairs will be. Mr. Czerwinski said we have to do the engineering work first. d. Trustee Thill wondered if these repairs are necessary due to the tonnage of the trucks using the bridge. He wondered if the Village could put weight restrictions on Waukegan Road and Austin Avenue to deter heavier trucks from using the Beckwith Road bridge. Mr. Czerwinski responded that there are already weight restrictions in place. The Village also has scales. He added that, the State requires the Village to inspect the bridge and do an engineering study every three years. He said it's right for the Village to be proactive in this matter, not reactive. d. Trustee Minx confirmed that this is the only bridge the Village is responsible for. Mr. Czerwinski said that's correct. Mayor DiMaria called for the vote on Resolution 20-07.

Trustee Witko: (continued) TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) 5. Trustee Witko presented Resolution 20-08, Authorizing Participation in the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative (NIMEC) and Authorizing the Village Administrator to Approve a Contract for Electricity for Village -Owned Buildings and Parking Lot Lighting Infrastructure. a. b. c. She explained that, since Illinois deregulated the purchase of electricity in 2007, electricity suppliers have been able to compete against Commonwealth Edison for the purchase of electricity. ComEd no longer offers a fixed energy rate for large or medium sized commercial Accounts. Thus, in 2017, in order to secure a fixed rate for electricity for municipal buildings and parking lot lighting infrastructure, the Village evaluated qualified electrical energy brokers and selected Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative (NIMEC) to serve as its electrical energy broker. Village staff has recommended the Village continue to use NIMEC as its electrical energy broker in 2020. Trustee Witko said this Resolution will designate NIMEC as the Village's broker for purposes of obtaining electricity. Due to time constraints and procedures required for the acceptance of a competitive bid for the supply of electricity, this Resolution will also authorize the Village Administrator to negotiate and execute a contract with the most optimal bidder for the acquisition of electrical energy for Village -owned buildings and parking lot lighting infrastructure for a term of up to 36 months. This authority shall begin up the adoption of this resolution and terminate at the end of the current calendar year. Trustee Witko moved to adopt Resolution 20-08, seconded by Trustee Minx. Trustee Thill asked if it was State law that prohibited municipal buildings from being included in the Aggregation Program. Mr. Czerwinski said it's not a law; it's an option. He said the Village is currently getting electricity from ComEd, but NIMEC will be searching other providers in order for the Village to negotiate the best possible price for electricity.

Next, Trustee Witko presented Resolution 20-09, Authorizing a Purchasing Agreement With Water Products Company for the 2020 Fire Hydrant Replacement Program. a. She explained that the Water Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for keeping the water distribution system's fire hydrants running at peak performance. Over the last five years, the Water Division has increased the replacement of aging fire hydrants throughout the system. Some hydrants are over 90 years old and parts are either unavailable or are cost - prohibitive. Due to the overall cost of replacement parts, changing out these hydrants will result in a long term cost savings for the Village. Trustee Witko said that, on January 23, 2020, Public Works received bids from five vendors for the purchase of fire hydrants for the 2020 Fire Hydrant Replacement Program. Water Products Company was selected as the low bidder in the amount of $132,030. 10 Minutes of February 10, 2020 Board Meetin. XIV. F. Trustee Witko: (continued) Trustee Witko moved, seconded by Trustee Travis, to approve Resolution 20-09. c. Trustee Ramos asked about the number of hydrants in the Village. Public Works Director Joe Dahm said there are approximately 1,150 fire hydrants in the Village. d. Trustee Thill commented that he had watched Public Works change out a fire hydrant, and complimented them on their efficiency in doing so. Mayor DiMaria called for the vote on Resolution 20-09.

Lastly, Trustee Witko presented Resolution 20-10, Authorizing the Execution of a Contract With Insituform Technologies USA, LLC for the 2020 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 infrastructure. This contract was bid through a public process in accordance with Village Code. The low bidder is Insituform Technologies USA, LLC, from Chesterfield, Missouri, with a bid amount of $185,431.20. This is $44,511.20 less than the engineer's estimate of cost and $64,568.80 less than the budgeted amount. The contract documents include a provision allowing the Village to increase the amount of work included in the contract, and Insituform Technologies is agreeable to doing so. Public Works considers it advantageous to utilize the full amount of the budgeted funds and proposes to increase the length of the sewers to be lined. b. Trustee Witko said the estimated contract value is $250,000, but since this is a unit price contract, the final contract amount will be based on the actual quantity of work performed.
