VII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Mayor Krier had several proclamations:
He proclaimed Wednesday, April 22, 2009 as "Earth Day" in the Village, and urged all citizens
to be mindful of local, state, and national laws which protect our environment, and to join in
efforts to preserve the beauty and wonder of the lands, skies, and waters of the Earth, in all its
diversity.
b. Next, Mayor Krier proclaimed Friday, April 24, 2009 as "Arbor Day', commenting that Arbor
Day was first celebrated in 9872 as a special day set aside for the planting of trees. He said
that trees provide innumerable benefits, including reducing the erosion of topsoil by wind and
water, cutting heating and cooling costs, cleaning the air, and providing a habitat for wildlife.
Trees are a renewable resource and they increase property values in the Village as well. He
urged everyone to supperi efforts to protect our trees and woodlands, io support *.he Vi?iage's
urban forestry program, and to plant trees for the well-being of this and future generations.
c. Mayor Krier also proclaimed April 2009 as "Fair Housing Month" in the Village. He urged all
citizens to embrace diversity and make a commitment to fair housing to provide or support
equal housing opportunities for all current and future residents of the Village.
Lastly, Mayor Krier proclaimed May 1, 2009 as "Silver Star Banner Day". He noted that
the Silver Star Families of America was formed to make sure people remember the blood
sacrifice of the wounded and ill by designing and manufacturing a Silver Star banner and flag.
Members df the Silver Star Families ofiAmerca have worked tirelessly to provide the wounded
of the Village and our country with Silver Star banners, flags, and care packages. Mayor Krier
designated May 1 as "Silver Star Banner Day" to honor the wounded and ill
soldiers of Morton Grove, Illinois, and the nation.
e. Mayor Krier announced that the newly elected officials would be sworn in at the April 27, 2009
Board Meeting. He congratulated them all, and said that he is working with Mayor-elect
Staackmann on a smooth and seamless transition, similar to the transition he had with former
Mayor Dan Scanlon.

CLERK'S REPORT
Clerk Fritzshall had no report.
Minutes ofiA ri193, 2U09Board MeeSn
IX. STAFF REPORTS
A. Village Administrator
a. Mr. Wade had no report, but asked Director of Public Works Andy DeMonte to provide a final
report on the just-past snow season. Mr. Wade also commended the Public Works staff for
keeping the Village's streets clear this winter under challenging circumstances.
b. Mr. DeMonte said the biggest challenge this year, as last year, was the availability of salt and
its cost. The Village had requested 6,000 tons from the State, but, for various reasons, the
State only provided 2,585 tons-from two different vendors. The Village paid $140 per ton for
the salt received from International Salt, and $105 per ton for the salt received from Morton
Salt. On its own, the Village was able to secure an additional 2,000 tons of salt at $125 per
ton from Central Salt, giving them a total of 4,585 tons of salt, rather than the 6,000 tons
requested. Because they had Tess salt td work with, Public Works changed the way they took
care of the streets, salting only the intersections of residential streets. They did, however, fully
salt the snow routes and the state roads. They also added 321 tons of sand to the salt, as they
did last year.
c. Mr. DeMonte then provided some statistics: the total snow accumulation was 52.7 inches;
_a. 4 ~ ~ -~~, ^' X3,462 tens of salt was
PUbiiC ~JOrkS m~, ~,.lized 48 times; u1ePB Were7.852 iiiiieS ~,IJen, ai,.. w
used (at a cost of $41,171). He pointed out that the Village still has about 1500-1800 tons of
salt remaining, which is good. The sand that was added cost $4,012. As temperatures
dropped, 5,437 gallons of calcium chloride was added, at a cost of $3,045. 9,279 gallons of
fuel were used, which cost $20,065. Labor costs incurred, including regular and overtime,
came to $280,755, and repair costs were $29,653. For the 2008!2009 `'snow season", the
total cost to the Village was $754,701. Last year, the total was $771,066, so this year's was
less expensive by approximately $16,000.
As far as salt for next year, Mr. DeMonte said that the State had approached all of the salt
companies and had asked them to extend their contracts with various individual municipalities.
Morton Grove's price came back as being at or below $75 per ton. He said he had received
this information on April 7`" and needed to respond with a commitment by April 9`h
Mr. DeMonte said he did some research, and learned that Skokie was offered $80 per ton
from the same vendor; Park Ridge, $75 per ton from the same vendor; Oak Park, $75 per ton,
but he was unsure of the vendor. Naperville bid on its own, and received bids ranging from
$76 per ton to $90 per ton. Mr. DeMonte said he committed Morton Grove to 4,000 tons at
$75 per ton for a total of $300,000. He pointed out that there's a possibility that either the
price or the tonnage could change, noting that he "committed" three times last year.
e. Trustee Thill asked if IDOT paid the Village for maintaining its roads. Mr. DeMonte said the
Village receives $83,000 a year for salting, sweeping, and pothole patching from IDOT.
f. Trustee Marcus complimented the Public Works crews and asked how the pothole patching is
coming along currently. Mr. DeMonte said that crews have already gone around town once
and will be doing so again, in light of recent weather.

TRUSTEES'REPORTS
Trustee Brunner:
Trustee Brunner had no formal report, but thanked Mayor Krier, on behalf of the Board of
Environmental Health, for the "Earth Day" proclamation.
Trustee Brunner also commended Family and Senior Services Director Jackie Walker-
O'Keefe for acquiring another bus for the Village via a $57,000 grant from the Federal
Transportation Administration and State funds. This one is a 14-seat disability-equipped bus
that the Village will receive in Tate summer or early fall. It will replace a 1998 bus currently in
service. Trustee Brunner congratulated Ms. Walker-O'Keefe for her efforts.
Trustee Kogstad:
Trustee Kogs±ad had no report.
Trustee Marcus presented Resolution 09-22, Authorization for the Purchase of Watch-
guard Digital In-Car Video Recording Systems for Police Vehicles from the Illinois State
Bid Program, Contract #PDS-4014193.
He explained that this system will replace older VHS-based in-car recording systems that are
deteriorating in reliability. In-car video recorders document police activity and can be used for
evidence collection, court testimony, and refuting claims of police misconduct. The total cost
for the three new in-car recording systems is $14,421.

2 Next, Trustee Marcus presented Resolution 09-23, Authorizing the Purchase of Police
Pursuit Vehicles Through the Illinois Department of Central Management Services State
Bid Program, Contract #4015559.
He said that, every three years, high mileage squad cars are replaced to insure that vehicles
do not fail during their normal course of duty. The squad cars are utilized 24 hours a day and
need to be in excellent condition at all times. Five squad cars were approved for purchase in
2009 at a cost of $110,000; however, the Board decided to only purchase four instead.
Through the State bid program, the cost for the four squad cars will be $89;340.
Trustee Marcus moved to approve Resolution 09-23, seconded by Trustee Minx. Motion

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
3. Trustee Marcus thanked Trustees Brunner, Kogstad, and Minx, as well as Mayor Krier and
Clerk Fritzshall, for their four years of service to the Village.
D. Trustee Minx:
Trustee Minx presented Ordinance 09-06, Amending Ordinance 08-27 to Allow the
Proceeds From the Sale of 5821 Dempster Street to be Removed From a Restricted
and Designated Reserve Account and Amending Ordinance 08-43 td Increase 2009
Budget Funding for Village Road Repairs.
This is the second reading of this ordinance.
She said that this had been thoroughly explained at the previous Board meeting, and noted
that Public Works is developing a plan for how best to use the funds for road repairs.
TFUStee ivpinx mOVed t.^. adept ilydinarii;$ vu v~, Secunded by TruStec T iiiil.
Trustee Brunner noted that, at the March 23 Board Meeting, she had asked about finding
another way of funding these road repairs, possibly using reserve funds instead of using the
funds in the designated Dempster Street account. She said that, since then, she had spoken
with Mr. Wade, who told her that reserve funds were available and that using them would not
put the Village below its threshhold of 25% in reserves. She asked Corporation Counsel if the
best course of action would be to amend this ordinance.
Corporation Counsel Liston told Trustee Brunner that she could either move to amend
this ordinance or simply vote it down, and then the Board could direct staff to rewrite the
ordinance.
Trustee Minx said that a business owner who had spoken at the last board meeting had said
he really appreciated having the funds earmarked, and she believed that that was Trustee
Thill's original intent. She said that, when the Village does get the funding from IDOT, one of
the things that will need to be done is the alleys behind the businesses on Dempster; those
will not be funded by IDOT and they are in terrible shape. She said that she, too, would prefer
leaving the money in the designated Dempster Street fund and using reserve funds instead,
especially since doing so would not have a negative impact on the Village's reserve fund
policy.
Ms. Liston suggested that the best way to amend this ordinance would be to delete Section 2
in its entirety. Trustee Brunner so moved, seconded by Trustee Staackmann. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.
Tr. Brunner aerie Tr. Kogstad ave Tr. Marcus
Tr. Minx ~? Tr. Staackmann ~ Tr. Thill
Trustee Marcus commented that, due to the fact that the numbers in the reserve account
are higher than anticipated, this looks like awin-win situation: the money in the designated
Dempster Street account remains there; and the reserve fund doesn't go below 25%.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued)
Trustee Minx: (continued)
Trustee Kogstad asked Mr. Wade if the final numbers have been received yet. He responded
that they have not, but there are funds in the reserve to cover this. Trustee Kogstad
commented that, according to Standard & Poors, the Village has 42% reserves in its reserve
funds, not 25%.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Krier called for the vote on Ordinance 09-06, as
amended. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

Trustee Staackmann:
Trustee Staackmann announced that EMA Director John Hill woutd be doing a presentation at
Village HaII on Aprif 26, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. regarding preparedness for tornado season. He
urged the assemblage to attend what promises to be a very informative presentation.
F
Trustee Thill
Trustee Thill presented Resolution 09-17, Authorization for the Purchase of Three Ford
Fusions.
He explained that the Public Works Department routinely reviews vehicles and equipment for
fuel economy, safety, dependability, age, and excessive repair cost. Equipment is replaced or
eliminated when it no longer meets the department's needs. There are currently three high
mileage vehicles used in the Public Works Departments that require replacement. The Ford
Fusion was chosen as the replacement model because of its greater fuel eddtiomy and
reduced maintenance costs. Funds in the 2009 Budget have been approved in the amount of
$233,200 for replacement of vehicles and related equpment. This purchase will total $46,575.
Trustee Thill moved to approve Resolution 09-T 7, seconded by Trustee Minx. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

Tr. Minx ~ Tr. Staackmann ~ Tr. Thill
Trustee Thill then presented Resolution 09-24, Statement of Ability and Willingness to
Provide Local Cost Share of Federally Funded Pavement Resurfacing Improvement to
Lehigh Avenue Between Oakton Street and Lincoln Avenue.
He explained that this resolution is necessary in oroer to receive federal economic stimulus
funding. It asserts the Village's ability and willingness to provide twenty percent (20%) of the
cost for pavement surface improvements to Lehigh Avenue, provided it receives federal funds
for the remaining eighty percent. This resurfacing project excludes the area of the commuter
parking spaces. It is estimated to cost $420,000, and the Village will receive $328,000 in
stimulus funding to pay for the bulk of the project. The Village's cost will be $82,000.

She moved io approve fhe warrants, seconded by Trustee Thiii.
Trustee Thill asked about a line item on page 1, a $268 charge payable to Midwest Board-Up.
Mr. Horne said he would look into it and get the details to the Board. Trustee Thill also asked
about a $245 charge for "biohazard cleanup"; he wondered if the Village would be reimbursed.
Mr. Horne said that he would follow up and get back to the Board.
Trustee Kogstad asked about a charge on page 16, "link plow uninstalled". Mr. DeMonte said
that was for one of the larger plows that goes on the six-wheeler.
Mayor Krier called for a vote on the Warrants. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
a. Eric Poders, 7940 Foster. Mr. Poders commended Jackie Walker-O'Keefe on her successful
efforts to acquire the new disability-equipped bus. He said that he had gone to an acupunc-
ture clinic and wanted to pass to her some information regarding a free acupuncture clinic to
provide stress reduction, available to all military personnel, including those on activity duty,
veterans, retirees, and their family members. Mr. Poders suggested that since the Village will
have two buses, perhaps it could use one to shuttle people to this clinic. He also suggested
working with the American Legion for identifying qualified residents of the Village.
Mr. Poders said that he had given Bill Neuendarf an idea for a communi#y garden. He
suggested working with the Park District to identify plots of land that people couid use, and
possibly do a farmers' market in Morton Grove, similar to what Skokie does.
Mr. Poders asked if the Board could tell him how much money is in the reserves, in excess of
the 25% threshold. He noted that, at the last meeting, Village Engineer Chris Tomich had
recommended the Village budget at least $1 million a year for the next five or six years for
street repairs, and wondered if the excess dollars in the reserves could be used.
Minoteeaf AAri113, 2009 Board Meeting
XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued)
Trustee Kogstad responded that the Board couldn't really say, since it did not have the final
audit numbers, but said that, according to Moody's, the Village has 42.5% in reserves. He did
not know what that was in dollars, however. Mr. Poders wondered where that money had
come from. Trustee Kogstad said, "Taxes." Mr. Poders said the Village owes it to the people
to fix the streets.
b. Nancy fanning. Ms. Canning said that she had been a judge at Village Hall in the April 7`"
election, and a fellow judge had a diabetic seizure during the course of the day. She said that
the Fire Department helped tremendously, and she wanted to thank them.
c. Irv Kirshner. Mr. Kirshner, a 40-year resident, said he has a problem with one of the Village's
older ordinances and was wondering if he could get some sort of variance. The ordinance
was passed about ten years ago and limits continuous parking of trucks and commercial
vehicles on Village streets. Motor homes and recreational vehicles are also included.
Mr. Kirshner said that he just returned from athree-month stay in Florida and called the~'olice
Department, as he his in the past, to ask for a couple of days in order to clean out the vehicle
and prepare it for storage, because the ordinance only allows one hour of parking. He pointed
out that his vehicle doesn't infringe on anyone else's property and fiis neighbors have ne«er
complained about it. This time, when he called the Police Department, he was initially told
"one hour", then subsequently told he could have "one day". He said it was about 3 p.m. when
he returned and made the call. He assumed that "one day" meant 24 hours. However, the
next morning, there was a ticket on the vehicle that had been issued at 12:10 a.m.
Mr. Kirshner felt that this ordinance puts him under too much pressure and said he would
appreciate the Board's consideration.
Mayor Krier said that staff would look into this and make recommendations for a possible
change to the ordinance.
