Scanlon Niles Township Trustee Mark Collins read a proclamation passed by Niles Township detailing the life of former Mayor Dan Scanlon and praising his record of service and accomplishments. Trustee Collins expressed his deep sorrow over former Mayor Scanlon's passing and extended his sympathies to the family. 2. Animal Control Program a. Police Chief Mark Erickson wanted to speak about the Village's Animal Control program, specifically, the changes that had been instituted in 2010. He began by stating that he grew up having a dog and his children have also grown up having a dog. Chief Erickson said he understands the responsibilities of being a pet owner. b. In late 2009, for the 2010 budget cycle, the Board asked all the department heads to analyze services and functions to increase efficiencies while attempting to maintain existing service levels and core municipal services, such as public works, and fire and police protection. IV.. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued) c. After many meetings and much debate, the Board was presented with the Police Depart- ment's proposed budget and staffing for 2010. The staffing levels included the elimination of the Animal Control office as well as one sworn Police Officer. Other personnel cuts included the elimination of a human resources manager, a part -time social worker, several staff members of the Senior and Family Services Department, the Village Planner, a part -time fire inspector, a part -time village nurse, six part -time crossing guards, and a part -time village intern. d. In the next budget cycle, a full -time firefighter was cut. Chief Erickson acknowledged that this Board has had to struggle with many hard and painful decisions. e. When the Animal Control officer was eliminated, part of that service was eliminated as well. The Police Department is now trying to strike a balance between providing limited animal control services and its duty to maintain public order, being mindful of officer safety and the safety of civilian personnel. f. In 2010, the Morton Grove Animal Hospital was notified of the animal control changes by the Police Department, with a request for a response. It was the Police Department's hope that they could once again partner with the Morton Grove Animal Hospital, however, there was no response. In December of 2010, Police and Village staff met with staff of MG Animal Hospital and the Administrator for Cook County Animal and Rabies Control at the request of the Morton Grove Animal Hospital. From that meeting, it was accepted that the Village's current practices were okay with Cook County. g. The current animal control services provided by the MGPD include: Animals at large: The Police Department will deal with strays or injured animals, if they are perceived as a threat to the public or motorists. IT the investigation reveals that the animal is a public threat, the officer will make every effort to alleviate the threat or capture the animal. If captured, the officer then attempts to locate and cite the owner. If the owner is not found, custody of animal is transferred to a local animal shelter (or animal hospital), and the associated fees become the responsibility of the Village. • Found Pets: The policy is that the Police Department will assist good samaritans who find pets or injured pets, but the Department does not have the facilities to house the animal. If the finder cannot care for the animal, he /she is instructed to contact local animal shelters and transfer custody. With that comes a 3 -day hold for the animal. The Police Department will log and hold all information for reference for future inquiries. The MGPD will attempt to locate and cite the pet owner. Chief Erickson added that the Police Department responds to reports of animal bites and investigates them. They will also respond to neighbor disputes regarding animals. Wildlife: The Village does not respond to wildlife and hasn't since 2002. Skunks are a particular problem, and must be dealt with by a private animal control service. Dead animals on the roadway: Public Works picks them up. h. Chief Erickson said that the issue is what happens when someone finds a lost pet, what should they do, and who's responsible for any costs involved. As of 2009, the salary and benefits of the animal control officer was $60,000 annually. There is an additional cost in maintaining an animal control vehicle. The Village's animal control vehicle was falling apart and would have cost $40,000 to replace. Training costs are about $1,000, and other animal control costs annually were about $10,000. 2 iV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued) Uniutesofinnua 4,201.1 ,RardZlidtiti j. Chief Erickson said the issue is not just a matter of a couple hundred dollars; there are very real costs involved, not the least of which remains the fact that the Police Department has no facilities in which to house a found animal. k. The chief then provided some additional expenditure information. As mentioned, a new full- time animal control officers salary and benefits would be about $60,000 annually. In 2005, there were 1,042 animal control calls, and the Village spent $8,800 in additional animal control costs. In 2006, there were nearly 1,200 calls, for a $10,729 expenditure. In 2007, there were 1,000 animal control calls, with a total pricetag of $11,075. In 2008, there was a slight reduction in calls —only 983, for a total cost of $8,550. And in 2009, there were 1,059 calls, at a cost of $13,026. Chief Erickson said that, when the Police Department takes an animal into its custody, the Village incurs costs. The costs are from services provided by another party (previously provided by the Morton Grove Animal Hospital). That party is obliged to do certain things (de- worming, flea control, rabies shots, etc.) for an animal. They also charge for boarding the animal. When deemed appropriate, there are also charges incurred for euthanasia of the animal. All of these costs add up. m. Chief Erickson said that, in preparation for tonight's meeting, he had pulled several old invoices to give the assemblage an idea of what these charges are. An invoice from 2005 for a stray dog showed that the Village paid for medicines, shots, boarding, and euthanasia. Total cost: $205. That same year, for a cat: medicines, shots, boarding, euthanasia, and cremation —total cost:$165. in 2006, charges for boarding a couple of rabbits were $280. He also had an invoice for $632 for an abandoned dog. In 2007, a pet owner committed suicide. There were no relatives, and the Police Department had to take custody of the dog. The Village incurred an $818 cost. He also cited a case of two abandoned dogs, which cost the Village $885. In 2009; the same dog was abandoned twice —it cost the Village $782 the first time and $382 the second time. in 2010, there was a family of kittens —the Village paid $1,096 in that incident. Chief Erickson said, this is not trivial money. Mayor Staackmann asked if the Village was reimbursed for any of those expenditures. Chief Erickson replied, no. The Village is only reimbursed when the Police Department can locate the owner. n: The chief said that, whether this an emotional, financial, or political issue, people need to understand there are core services and there are costs for those services. In 2010, the MGPD handled about 1,050 animal control calls. The Village received a number of complaints late last year about how some of those calls were handled. Chief Erickson explained that the animal control program was in transition and apologized for mistakes that were made. He said the Police Department is dealing with its local dispatchers as well as the 911 dispatchers, who are Des Plaines employees. The MGPD does a tremendous job, handling over 22,500 service calls a year. it is a small department, and there is a manpower issue. They have minimal staffing. Many calls require 2 or 3 officers to respond. The department has to balance all this, and when a resident calls about a found animal and wants the department to come over, it may not happen. He pointed out that the department lost an officer last year and restructured. They've lost civilian personnel, and restructured. The time constraints on the MGPD are greater than ever. The Board must decide how we move forward in the future. o. Chief Erickson said that some of the ideas suggested by the Board include having a place on the Village's website where pictures of lost or found pets can be posted (the Police Depart- ment would act as the go- between so that people wouldn't have to post personal information); a place where people can sign up to volunteer to take found animals into their custody; a 3 Minutes 6i -JanuarV 24,:2011 Snard MoWngg IV. SPECIAL REPORTS (continued) place where they could make donations to an ongoing animal control effort. Chief Erickson said having a self- sustaining animal control program would be ideal, and to that end, the Village could increase fines for violations so as to enforce more owner accountability. Pets would be registered annually and the Village would have a zero tolerance policy about this. If a pet owner has multiple offenses, fines should be increased. There could also be an ordinance passed requiring pet sterilizations. p. In summary, Chief Erickson said, a good animal control program is a community responsibility, and should include a well- trained animal control officer (if affordable), proactive public educa- tion on animal issues, adequate holding facilities for found animals, and a written contract with a service provider to reduce costs to residents. He said he would be happy to answer any questions the Board may have. q. Trustee Toth did not have a question, but noted that, in 2006, the Village implemented a "life- time" registration fee of $50 per animal, which drops to $25 if the animal has been spayed or neutered. She encouraged all pet owners to register their pet so it would be in the Village's database. They should know what breed of dog they have; they should fence in their yard and make sure the gates stay shut. Pet owners should do their best to keep sliding doors closed to ensure that their pets don't accidentally get out. They should have a collar on their pet at all times, and use a leash when walking your dog. She also suggested microchipping your pet. These are all ways that pet owners can minimize their risk of losing their pet. She said her dogs are part of her family, and she always ensures that they are as safe as possible. r. Trustee Marcus thanked Chief Erickson for his presentation, and said he appreciated that the police department was reviewing its policies in this regard. He said that he found a stray dog years ago and brought it to the Police Department. He said that they took basic information t 'C tt •1 i, _ !�� t r I 'r that L. I' 1-. 4 ¢' and wondered i7 tnatwas still uie case. Chien Erickson said drat Is the policy UUL sometimes doesn't happen. Every MG CSO (dispatcher) has been trained, but from time to time, if a CSO isn't in the officer, other officers fill in. Sometimes the mistakes have been made by the 911 dispatchers. Basic information should be taken when a found pet call comes in. It is an issue when someone calls in and the basic information is not taken. s. Mayor Staackmann asked about the complaints. The chief said most complaints in the past have been about "who pays for what," but more recently, there have been a number of complaints about the way police personnel handle these types of calls. He said he had been forwarded an email which encouraged people to email and call himself and members of the Board about the animal control issue. The email claimed that the Village has "abandoned" their efforts to help lost animals. He said, "this is not true." It also claimed that the animal owner would have to bear the responsibility of calling shelters and neighboring police depart- ments to attempt to locate their pet. He said he hoped that a responsible pet owner would care enough that they would do that. The claim is that the pet owner would "have" to do that because the Village doesn't log this basic information when a call comes in. Chief Erickson said the Police Department takes the information routinely, but acknowledged that sometimes mistakes have been made, and the MGPD is working to correct that. The email states that, even though the Village no longer employs an animal control officer, police personnel should at least be trained and thorough enough to take down certain basic information (they do). It also states that the Village should take custody of lost pets and bring them to a holding facility, such as the Morton Grove Animal Hospital, and that this "minimal cost" should be budgeted for. The chief said that some of these statements are inaccurate. But he promised the Police Department would do its best to come up with some options to present the Board. G! r[utssof�JanuAryF,O �1 9oard�flleeYirt " V. PUBLIC HEARINGS NONE Vl, RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) 1. Beverly Pines. Ms. Pines said she had prepared her comments this evening based on reports she's heard time and again that the Police Department is mishandling these types of calls by failing to take basic information. She said that Chief Erickson's report addressed many of the issues she had heard about. Ms. Pines said she understood that revenue is a concern, and agreed that pet owners who consistently let their pets roam should be fined. She also suggested that, instead of a "lifetime" registration fee, the Village should charge an annual registration fee, as Skokie does. She also felt the Police Department should negotiate "better rates" with the Morton Grove Animal Hospital or another shelter or clinic. She thought some of the vet bills Chief Erickson reported sounded outrageous. Ms. Pines also suggested forging relationships with an animal rescue group, such as Adopt -A -Pet. She said she was glad to see the Village taking this issue seriously because peoples' pets are important to them. Regarding the Village's policy on wildlife, she thought it would be helpful if police dispatchers had informational or educational material on hand that could either be read over the phone to a caller or handed out to someone walking in. The Niles animal control officer has information about almost every wild animal indigenous to the area. She felt that by so doing, it would resolve about 90% of the conflicts. 2. Marianne Maggi. Ms. Maggi said she was displeased with the Village's current animal control handling. She said that telling residents they're ``on their own" is appalling and not acceptable. She works for Animal Control in Skokie, and said that since Morton Grove's Animal Control (")ffjCar position .ti,as c „t, calls to Skokie's Animal Control Department have increased. She said residents seem to think that since Skokie is right next door, Skokie can come in and take over where Morton Grove has left off. a. Ms. Maggi said that, a while back, she had responded to an injured opossum call. Some bicyclists had found the injured animal and had called the MGPD about it, and were told to call a wildlife service and pay for it out of their own pocket. She herself had to call a few weeks ago about an injured raccoon in her backyard. She said that she, too, was told to call a wildlife service. She said she did call a few, and learned that they charge a person from $75 to $100 for an injured animal removal, and $200 for a deer. b. Several months ago, while at work, she received a call from a Morton Grove resident, who said that an animal was caught in a trap at a neighbor's. The family was on vacation, and the animal was left there to die of dehydration or starvation. The concerned caller had called the Morton Grove Police Department and was told, "there's no animal control.” So the caller ended up contacting Skokie's Animal Control Department. c. If a well- meaning person finds a lost pet, they're told by MGPD to take it elsewhere. That policy leaves the pet owner with the difficult task of trying to find their pet "elsewhere". Ms. Maggi said that, logically, the place where lost pets should be held is the place where they're found. She said that lost pets are not always the owner's fault. The pet could have gotten out and gotten lost due to vandalism, burglary, service people entering or leaving a home, stupid visitors, mischief, etc. Regardless, she said, there needs to be a procedure in place where descriptions of lost and found pets is taken and relayed as necessary. A nominal fee could be charged to a pet owner to reclaim his/her pet. This could finance the service. 0 ;Minutes iaf�iariva ;ry4 „2DA"i�oar,�;Meetin `„ Vl. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) (continued) d. Ms. Maggi said that the point is that Morton Grove residents want animal control services. She felt it was a disgrace that police officers couldn't take care of minimal animal control services, such as handling residents' lost and found pets, and giving wildlife a merciful death. With no animal control officer, police officers should be able to shoot an injured wild animal, or contain it and have a local vet assess and euthanize it. Or they should contact a wildlife rehabiiitator. There are some that pick -up, maybe the Village could have one on retainer. She said there's one that charges reduced rates for municipalities. Ms. Maggi had other sugges- tions, such as doing an animal control "cooperative” with other suburbs, or hire an already- trained person as a CSO so the Village wouldn't have to pay for training. She strongly advised the Board to reinstate animal control. Ms. Maggi said that, when Chief Erickson was explaining about the MGPD's lack of holding facilities, she said that the City of Evanston had CARE come in. CARE is a nonprofit group; they handle a lot of things the City can't afford or handle. They hold fundraisers etc. to offset these types of costs. This could be a feasible solution that the Village should look into. 3. Anna Johnson. Ms. Johnson, a former employee of the Morton Grove Animal Hospital, felt there was some miscommunication by Chief Erickson. She said that, in her opinion, no one in Morton Grove is asking for a salaried, dedicated animal control officer. She had done some research and learned that, in 2009 the Village's budget for care and housing of strays was $3,000 annually versus $5,000 annually for Niles. The $818 bill Chief Erickson referred to as a "typical" charge was actually for two dogs involved in a court case. The dogs were at Morton Grove Animal Hospital for months because the owner had been in a gunshot incident, and, in fact, one of the dogs had been shot, too. That was not at all a typical charge. Morton Grove Animal Hospital charges $7.00 /night to board an animal, so for three days, that's $21.00. The required vaccines run about $40 —$50 depending on whether the animal is a dog or a cat and zne size or animal. Ms. Johnson said tliat basically, it's a �oIat o about 07 J U Lo cover a re three -day hold requirement. Huge bills accrue when the Police Department knows who the animal's owner is but can't get the owner to come and get the animal because the owner doesn't want to pay. a. Ms. Johnson said she was glad to hear the Village was considering a self - sustaining animal control program. She lives a few blocks away, and has found three stray cats and a loose dog within in a three -month period, and every time she calls the Police Department, they don't take her information —she has had to ask that they take it. Ms. Johnson also related an incident where she found an injured cat lying on the sidewalk. The cat was paralyzed and couldn't walk. She wrapped the cat in a towel, put it in her car, and called the police. They told her to put it back. Ms. Johnson felt it was a threat to public safety to leave the cat there to starve, so she didn't. Instead, she had it euthanized at her own cost after determining its spine was severed. Morton Grove residents need at least the "bare minimum" of animal control services, which is taking basic information and covering the three -day stray hold. Ms. Johnson encouraged the Village to work with places like Adopt -A -Pet to place these animals. She said the Village shouldn't have to pay for spaying and neutering and covering animals for month after month unless there are special circumstances. The Morton Grove Animal Hospital was always perfectly happy to place an animal in an appropriate home or a shelter after the 3 -day period was complete. But they need a complete phone number from the Police Department or else, legally, a shelter can't take an animal in. Only large shelters can take in strays from good samaritans or "owner surrenders ". b. Trustee Marcus asked about pay disputes, wondering if the hospital had the responsibility to say to the owner, "We're going to take your dog to a shelter if you're not going pay for it." Who's legally responsible? 14 iminuti�zf JunusryN2 , 2011 Soartl.nA6Whal VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) (continued) c. Ms. Johnson said that if an owner doesn't want the animal, they can sign a relinquishment form giving up their rights. But when they won't sign the form, and they won't pay for animal, then it's a problem. She noted that there's a certain period of time of "no contact with the owner" after which the animal may be considered abandoned, but that does require waiting for some length of time. VII. VIII. IX. Mayor Staackmann had no report, but commented that he had been receiving calls from Skokie residents asking if Morton Grove would plow their side streets! Clerk Kalogerakos noted that the Chamber of Commerce VIP Dinner would be held on February 3, 2011, at 5:30 p.m. at the Civic Center, Also, School District 67's PTA was holding a fundraising auction and dinner on February 12 at the Civic Center. He added that the Morton Grove Foundation's annual "Taste" fundraiser would be held at 5:30 p.m. on March 10" at the White Eagle in Niles. Tickets are $30 in advance, $40 at the door. Tickets are available at Inland Bank, Century 21 Marino, and Village Hall, A, Village Administrator 1. Report Regarding Possible Sale of Golf School to an Auto Dealership and Possible Use of Waukegan Road Tax increment Financing Funding for Relocation of the School to the HLrnes School Site. a. Mr. Wade said that the Village and School District 67 have a rare opportunity to avail themselves of some of the benefits of a TIF District, intergovernmental agreement, and economic development. It's a unique opportunity, but not uncommon, as TIFs are used throughout the State to finance new schools and other large public projects. b. District 67 is in a very difficult financial situation. It's a small school district in central Morton Grove, basically relying on residential homes and a small part of the business community for revenue. Twenty years ago, District 67 lost a significant portion of its property tax base when the Village of Golf and some of the industrial property north of Golf Road went to School District 34. C. The School District has undertaken a number of staff and programming cuts, including the school librarian. There is real concern that at some point, cutbacks will begin to have an impact on the education of the children. The School District has undertaken some engineering studies and has determined that both school buildings (Hynes and Golf) need a number of repairs, such as air conditioning, roof repair, leaks in the building, ventilation systems, etc. Both buildings are approximately 50 years old and both are in need of some major reinvestments. 7 tUll l tes bNanua �4, X01 , B9artl Illea b `�� IX. STAFF REPORTS (continued) d. Mr. Wade said that the School District has also reopened its union contract for renegotiation and some areas have been renegotiated. They have also approached neighboring school districts to consider possible consolidation; however, other districts were not interested. This is understandable, given District 67's financial situation. e. There is a possibility for some long -term benefits that could be provided. There is an auto dealership that has issued a "letter of interest" I proposal to the School District to purchase the Golf School property. Mr. Wade said there would be a community meeting this coming Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. at the Village Hall, where District 67 officials would be discussing this opportunity and gathering feedback from residents. f. The proposal is to purchase the Golf School site and relocate the Golf School students to Hynes School. Hynes School would then become grades K through 8. (This is similar to the restructuring School District 70 went through many years ago.) The Goff School property on Waukegan Road has value, because 35,000+ cars go down Waukegan Road daily. Under this proposal, the auto dealership would purchase the Golf School property (which has an appraised value of about $9 million). The cost to relocate the Golf School students to Hynes School is about $17 or $18 million, so the sale of the property will not cover the entire cost of the relocation. However, Golf School borders the existing Waukegan Road TIF, and State law would allow (through special legislation) an extension of the existing TIF, which currently has about five years left before it ends. The revenues from extending the TIF would provide the second level of economic support to accomplish this relocation. g. At present, the Golf School site does not produce property tax revenue. However, as an auto dealership, property taxes would be generated (conservatively estimated at $200,000 annually). If a new Tax Increment Financing District was established solely for the present Gulf Sc hool site, t hose property tax reve1-1ues could be used for this ro cut. p j__ h. For this transaction to come to fruition, a willing seller and a willing buyer are first needed. This is a viable opportunity for District 67 to reduce its financial strains and restructure. The auto dealership is the "willing buyer ", but they do have a deadline before they move to "plan B This transaction also would need the existing TiF District to be extended via special legislation. And a new TIF would need to be established for the Golf School site, so that the $200,000 property tax revenue could be utilized to pay for the costs of relocating the school. Another point for consideration is the reimbursement of the Park District and the State for certifiable Hren Park costs. Mr. Wade said that, about 12 to 15 years ago, District 67 and the Park District entered into an agreement for the Park District to use the rear of Golf School's property for Hren Park. The School District pays the Park for maintenance, but the agreement provided that, if anything changed, the Park District would be reimbursed for developmental costs (such as grading, fill, etc.). There was also a State grant that contributed to the Hren Park project (about $400,000) that would also need to be reimbursed. The Park District is working to gather the certifiable costs of the development of that park. Their estimates have ranged from $1 million to $2.5 million; these costs would have to be audited prior to reimbursement. j. Mr. Wade outlined the benefits of this proposal to the community. First, it assists the school district, allowing them to restructure and to follow a successful model, while taking advantage of certain economies of scale. It would also provide the community a large revenue generator at a location that is presently not producing any revenue. A conservative estimate of the an- nual sales tax that could be generated is $500,000, while property taxes are conservatively estimated at $200,000 a year. I '*niA9sbfhJhu6tV 1124;2011 bairtlM eetld Ix. STAFF REPORTS (continued) k. Mr. Wade said that it's likely that the dealership would be asking for some relocation assistance from the Village, but that would be considered as an investment. Finally, it would increase the tax base for the entire community once the TIF ends. This possible transaction offers a number of benefits to both School District 67 and the community at large. But a number of things have to fall into place, such as an agreement between the seller and the buyer; an extension of the Waukegan Road TiF and the establish- ment of a new TIF solely for that site. Special legislation to extend the existing TIF requires that other local taxing bodies provide letters supporting the extension of the Waukegan Road TiF (letters from the HS District, Park District, etc.). This should be viewed as a real opportunity for the Village in that it would provide a "new" school, help a school district gain financial stability, and benefit the entire community. Assuming that such support is provided, special legislation would then be considered in Springfield. This happens frequently in the State. He then turned it over to Community & Economic Development Director John Said. m. Mr. Said then reviewed maps of School District 67 and the Waukegan Road and Lehigh - Ferris TIF District. The Waukegan Road TIF is entirely within District 67. He also provided a brier background of TIFs. It's simple in concept, but is also complex. A TIF is designed to channel funds toward improvements in distressed or underdeveloped areas where development might not otherwise occur. It creates funding for public projects that may otherwise be unaffordable by borrowing against future property tax revenue. Mr. Said likened the concept of a TIF to a home improvement project. The homeowner could take out a loan to make major home improvements, believing that the improvements will increase the value of the home at such time as it is sold, thus "repaying" the loan. n. TIF districts encourage economic development in designated areas. The Village issues bonds to pay for TiF- eligible improvements to the property. The property is developed and its value goes up. This can cause the value of surrounding property to also increase, and possibly encourage more new development. The increased site value and new developments generate increased tax revenues. The increased tax revenues are called the "tax increment ". The increment goes into a special fund which is used to pay off the debt on the TIF bonds and otherwise reinvested in the TIF District. The Village determines the number of years the base property value will be "frozen" (up to 23 years.) Mr. Said emphasized that TIF investment does not raise property taxes. Establishment of a TIF does not reduce property tax revenues available to taxing bodies. The property taxes collected on properties within a TIF continue to be distributed to all the appropriate taxing districts as if the TIF didn't exist. Only the property taxes generated by the incremental increase in the value of the properties are available for use by the TIF. o. Mr. Said said that one of the benefits of TIF Districts is that funds and revenue sources for public projects are locally controlled. in this case, a new school is a TIF - eligible project. Also, the Village has entered into revenue - sharing agreements with both District 70 (in the Lehigh - Ferris TIF) and District 67 (for the Waukegan Road TIF), so they are getting revenues above the base revenues they would have otherwise received. One of the requirements of TIFs is the "but for" test.... "but for" the TIF being created, this project would not occur. p. Mr. Said then turned it over to Finance Director Ryan Horne. Mr. Horne agreed that this is a unique opportunity for the Village and the School District. He noted that according to the Illinois State Board of Education's website shows District 67's declining fund balance and the ratio of revenue to expenditures. He displayed several charts showing this. 91 Ix. STAFF REPORTS (continued) q. Mr. Horne said that the cost to relocate the students to Hynes School and to remodel that school would be in the range of $17 to $18 million. The cost to reimburse the Park District for the Hren Park development would be $800,000 to $2.5 million, but these must be certified costs. The cost of demolition of the building, site preparation; public improvements, and other applicable costs would be $1.25 million, bring the range of estimated total costs to between $19 and $22 million. Funding would come from the sale of the land ($9 million) and a $10 million TIF Bond issue. Mr. Horne clarified that the debt would be repaid from the Waukegan Road TIF. Bond proceeds can only be used for TIF - eligible expenses, such as property acquisition, public works construction, relocation, financing costs, professional services, and demolition and site preparation. r. Mr. Horne noted that the Waukegan Road TIF was formed in 1993, and was "marginal" until about 2003, when it finally began generating increment. The current tax increment is fully obligated to repaying existing debt. So, for this project to come to fruition, a new TIF would need to be established, the existing TIF would need to be extended, and the property would have to be sold. He then showed some very preliminary site plans for Hynes School. s. Mr. Wade reiterated that there would be a community meeting this Thursday, January 27, at 7:00 p.m. at Village Hall, for District 67 officials to discuss this proposal and gather feedback from residents. Also, on February 10, at Golf School, the School District will hold its regularly - scheduled Board Meeting and will be discussing this. t. Trustee Thill asked Mr. Wade, if this proposal falls through, what does it mean to residents of District 67's school district? Mr. Wade said, absent this proposal, the school district has indicated it would have to seek two referendums for tax increases, one for building needs and one for operations. If this proposal goes through, it would negate the need for a referendum for building needs, but the District would likely still do a referendum for operations. T hey have not had gone to referendum for an increase since 1965. Trustee Thill commented that if this proposal falls through, the costs will be on the back of residents living in that school district. He said that, if the school district fails, it's a black mark on the Village. Mr. Wade said it's a bad scenario. He said that, if District 67 seeks the referendums and they are approved, it places a considerable burden on the homeowners within that district. If the referendums don't pass, the district would have to continue making cuts (such as teachers, class size, etc.). Those decisions would be made by the school district, but it is a reality when the revenue isn't there. B. Corporation Counsel-, Corporation Counsel Liston had no report. X. A.
