VIII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT
a. Mayor Staackmann asked the Board to concur with his appointment of Mark Erickson
as the Village of Morton Grove Police Chief. He stated Mark is a 25 year veteran of
the Police Department who most recently served as the Deputy Chief and then Acting
Chief. Mr. Erickson first started with the Police Department as a patrol officer in 1984.
Minutes of July 27, 2009 Board Meeting
In 1991, he became the Crime Prevention and DARE Officer. He then became the
Department's Training Coordinator in 1996 and was promoted to Sergeant in 1997. In
2000, he became the Investigations Commander until his appointment to Deputy Chief
in 2005. Mayor Staackmann felt the Village was very fortunate to have Mr. Erickson as
its new Police Chief and looks forward to the department's continued success. He also
stated he was overwhelmed and deeply touched by the amount of officers, family, and
friends present to wish Mark success.
Trustee DiMaria moved to concur with the appointment, seconded by Trustee Thill.
The motion passed unanimously via roll call vote.
The Honorable Daniel D. Scanlon, former Mayor of the Village of Morton Grove,
swore -in Mark Erickson as the Police Chief.
Trustee Greer congratulated Chief Erickson. He felt it was a tribute to the Village to
have so many Department Directors as lifelong members of the community.
Trustee Thill congratulated the Police Department as a whole.
Trustee Marcus felt Chief Erickson was a perfect fit for the Police Department. He
also extended special congratulations to all of Mark's family for their support.
Newly appointed Police Chief Erickson spoke. He introduced dignitaries, family,
friends, and various ranking police officers from other departments, as well as the FBI
who were present. He spoke of his ideals for the department as they move forward.
Chief Erickson is hopeful to redefine and develop the department into a proud and
successful organization. He believed with the help of the elected officials and the sup-
port of the dedicated officers and civilians within the department his lofty goals could
be achieved. Chief Erickson stated the department will now have a clear mission
statement, a comprehensive policy to follow, as well as a strong rank structure that will
include accountability, superior services, a proper chain -of- command, enhanced lead-
ership responsibilities, and a greater skilled and flexible staff. He introduced the labor
management negotiating team from the department and thanked them for their work
and dedication toward completing a fair and equitable union contract. He thanked
support services, especially Gil Santiago, for their continued cohesive support. Chief
Erickson stated he wanted to maintain the safest possible environment for the Police
Officers who work in such a risky environment. He then thanked the department as a
whole for their service and dedication to the department and the Village. He thanked
the Mayor and Village Board for their confidence in him and the department as a
whole. He believed this was a "beginning" which will lead toward achievement and
success. He knows there will be ups and downs but with help and support he knows
the department will grow into an accountable, productive and service orientated de-
partment — "one which links our history and defines our own sense of duty and pre-
pares us for a distinguished future
Chief Erickson invited everyone to the rededication ceremony of Barry Shalin. This
officer was a seasoned veteran who was killed in the line of duty on October 9 twenty
years ago. This rededication will allow everyone to reflect on the history of the Village
and the department.
Chief Erickson invited everyone to attend a reception to be held immediately following
at the American Legion Memorial Civic Center. Various pictures were then taken.

X. STAFF REPORTS
XI.
Village Administrator
Mr. Wade reminded everyone of the upcoming special meeting to be held at 7:00 pm
on July 28, 2009, at Village Hall, concerning the state of the Village's financial condi-
tion and the presentation of this year's auditor's report.
Mr. Wade presented a report regarding the Solid Waste and Recycling Contract. He
stated this contract would be up for renewal and outlined the options for possible con -
tract extensions as well as whether this was a good time to do a formal competitive
bidding process. He recommended testing the market at this time for a five year con-
tract. He anticipates the Village will see an 18% - 30% increase since the contract was
last negotiated. The Village will need to pique the interest of area haulers and get
them to "sharpen their pencils" when bidding for the contract. A commercial solid
waste franchising agreement was also suggested for all businesses located within the
corporate limits of the Village. This would protect businesses from arbitrary price in-
creases, lessen wear and tear on Village streets, as well as be a savings to busi-
nesses. Mr. Wade stated Skokie found 88% of the businesses had some sort of sav-
ings from going to a cooperative franchise. Mr. Wade recommended the Village ex-
plore and evaluate the possibility of having a Commercial Solid Waste Franchise
Agreement. He then returned to the Solid Waste and Recycling Contract. He stated
work would begin soon and public comment meetings would be held in the next couple
of months. It is hoped a new contract could be in place by January 2010 with a start
date of May 1, 2010.
Trustee DiMaria felt the Village had an exceptional contract and was pleased there
was no fuel surcharge bill for the times when gasoline was so high. There was price
stability and protection for the residents in this contract.
Trustee Marcus felt the franchise for businesses was innovative and the Village should
reach out to the businesses so they can be properly informed.
b. Corporation Counsel
Corporation Counsel had no formal report.

e. Trustee Thill
1) Trustee Thill presented Resolution 09 -42, Authorizing a Bid Award and
Execution of a contract with Arrow Road Construction Company for the 2009 Street
Improvement Program. Trustee Thill stated various streets have been selected for resurfac-
ing work this year. Those included are: Oriole, Palma, Wilson Terrace, Lyons, and Belleforte.
Arrow Construction Company was determined to be the lowest qualified bidder to do this work
with a bid amount of $416,273.09. He noted the bid process conformed to the Village's pur-
chasing requirements except the "notice of the contract" which was published 16 "calendar"
days prior to the bid opening date rather than 14 "business" days as required by Village Code.
This technical deficit can be overturned with a two- thirds majority vote. Trustee Thill noted if
this contract is delayed and the start of work is delayed it could result in a higher unit price for
the same work. There was no discussion.
Trustee Thill moved, seconded by Trustee DiMaria, to approve Resolution 09 -42. Motion

2) Trustee Thill presented Resolution 09 -43, Authorizing Bid Award and Exe-
cution of a Contract with North Suburban Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. for the 2009
Cracksealing Program. This annual program is a preventative maintenance program that
can delay the onset of pavement deterioration if done at the appropriate time of a pavement's
lifecycle. This year's chosen streets to receive this treatment are Central, Harlem, and Sher -
mer. North Suburban Asphalt Maintenance has been determined to be the lowest qualified
bidder with a bid amount of $22,225. He noted this is a unit price contract so the final con-
tract amount will be based on the actual quantity of work performed. He noted the bid proc-
ess conformed to the Village's purchasing requirements except the notice of the contract was
published 14 "calendar" days prior to the bid opening date rather than 14 "business" days as
required by Village Code. This technical deficit can be overturned with a two- thirds majority
vote. There was no discussion.

3) Trustee Thill presented Resolution 09 -44, Authorizing the Execution of a
Contract with Visu -Sewer of Illinois, LLC for the 2009 Sewer Lining Program. Trustee
Thill noted this annual program will include the repair of a combined sewer on Austin Avenue
from South Park to Capulina and Lyons Street from Major to Mango this year. Performing this
work maintains the structural integrity, decreases infiltration, and generally extends the life of
a sewer. This cured -in -place process also minimally disturbs the surrounding areas. The es-
timated base bid is $44,475 for this work. The alternate bid to complete a 15 inch combined
sewer on Austin from Lincoln to Grove is an additional $16,570 for a total contract amount of
$61,045. There was no discussion.

4) Trustee Thill presented Ordinance 09 -12, Amending the Municipal Code to
Restrict Parking on Crain Street Between Marmora and Menard within the Village.
Trustee Thill stated this Ordinance was amended per the motion presented by Trustee Gom-
berg at the July 13, 2009, Village Board meeting. Changes have now been made to the
document to institute a new Zone 13 which will restrict parking in this area from 8:00 am to
3:00 pm on school days only. No one will be able to park in this area on these days and times
unless they have a Zone 13 parking sticker. Costs associated with this change will be ap-
proximately $210 which will cover the new signage.
Trustee Thill also
noted this is
technically
the third read for this Ordinance (Ordinance 09 -12),
and he moved to
approve this
ordinance as amended, seconded by Trustee DiMaria.
Pam Lundsberg, 5810 Crain supported the motion as it was presented. She stated she was
distressed Mr. Tomich made several errors in his correspondences to the neighbors which
created confusion and frustration.
Joan Hulka, 5827 Crain wanted to know if they would still receive two guest passes?
Mayor Staackmann stated the residents would receive two guest passes. He also apologized
for any misunderstanding the area residents had and hoped the new zone parking would help
their parking situation. Mayor Staackmann then called for a vote.

f. Trustee Toth
1) Trustee Toth presented for a second reading Ordinance 09 -13, Amending
title 8, Chapter 3 Entitled Plants and Weeds" of the Municipal Code. As noted at the last
Village Board meeting, these changes will update the procedures for the abatement of unlaw-
ful weeds and grasses, as well as the procedures for providing for the cutting of such weeds
and grasses, the placement of liens against those properties, and the price the Village may
charge for cutting the grasses and weeds (now $125).
Trustee Toth moved, seconded by Trustee Thill, to approve Ordinance 09 -13.
Minutes of July 279 2009 Board Meeting
Trustee Thill felt $125 should be a starting point for cleaning up properties and there should
be a step increase of $75 depending on the quantity of disposal and size of various proper-
ties. Corporation Counsel stated the fine is a minimum fine and can go up at the discretion of
the Public Works Director. Nuisance abatement appears in other sections of the Municipal
Code and there are provisions to include salaries, dumping fees, etc. for those properties that
are found to be out of control.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Staackmann called for a vote. Motion passed: 6

tional Amendment to the Special Use Permit for the Property Located at 8710 Ferris
and 8701 Lincoln for a Planned Unit Development in the Village. Trustee Toth stated this
Ordinance will allow the unit mix for this town home development to be reduced to 64 units.
Ordinance 09 -10 granted a special use to change the mix to 65 units as originally approved in
the Planned Unit Development; however Toll Brothers wishes to change the mix back to 64
units. The unit mix is in a different location as shown on the site plans given to the Board in
their Agenda packets. Trustee Toth noted this was the first reading of this Ordinance and the
second reading would be at the August 10, 2009, Village Board meeting.

worked with Mark on the Community Relations Commission and found him to be most profes-
sional.

MINUTES OF THE JULY 28, 2009, SPECIAL MEETING
OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
RICHARD T. FLICKINGER MUNICIPAL CENTER
6101 CAPULINA AVENUE
MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS 60053
Pursuant to proper notice in accordance with the Open Meetings Act, the special meeting was called to
order at 7:00 pm by Mayor Daniel J. Staackmann who led the assemblage in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Corporation Counsel Liston called the roll. In attendance were:
Elected Officials: President Daniel Staackmann, Trustees Dan DiMaria, Larry Gomberg,
William Great, Sheldon Marcus, John Thill, and Maria Toth, and Village
Clerk Tony Kalogerakos (arrived late)
Village Staff: Village Administrator Joseph F. Wade, Corporation Counsel Teresa
Hoffman Liston, Finance Director /Treasurer Ryan Horne, Fire Chief
Tom Friel,_ Community and Economic Development Director Bill
Neuendorf, and Public Works Director Andy DeMonte
Also Present: Several local residents
Mr. Wade stated the purpose of today's special meeting was to present a report on the financial
condition of the Village and the impact the very difficult economic times was having on the Village's
revenues and expenses. He introduced Ryan Horne, the Finance Director /Treasurer of the Village who
took over as the head of the Finance Department in February.
Mr. Horne stated this evening's agenda would include a review of major finances, both actual, those
budgeted and projected for 2009 expenses, and a similar analysis of Village expenses. He would
discuss the Village's fund balances and economic projections for the balance of the year. Mr. Horne
thanked his staff for their hard work in preparation for tonight's meeting. He noted while he will be
reporting on many numbers, he would also try to add context to these numbers.
He reviewed the Village's General Fund Revenues. Mr. Horne stated the real estate levy, retail sales
taxes, home rule sales taxes, state income tax, telecommunication tax, electric consumption tax
represented 82.6% of all Village revenues. He noted retail sales taxes were budgeted at $4 million for
2009, a decrease of $300,000 from the 2008 budget. Based on receipts received to date, and historical
analysis of receipts for the past five years, he projected the Village would receive a total of $3,290,645
in retail sales taxes, or approximately $709,000 less than budgeted, or a decrease of 18 %. Likewise,
home rule sales taxes had been budgeted at $2,383,000; a decrease of $234,000 from the 2008 budget.
Based on projections, he expected the Village to receive $2,099,496 in home rule sales taxes which
compared unfavorably to the amount budgeted by 12% or $283,000. State income tax had been
budgeted at $2,010,000, a decrease of $115,000 from the 2008 budget. He projected actual receipts to
be $1,881,874; an unfavorable decrease in this revenue of $128,000 or 6 %. The telecommunication
tax had been budgeted at $1,015,000. Mr. Horne projected the Village would receive $1,132,993 or an
additional revenue of $117,000. Likewise, the electricity tax budgeted at $910,000 was projected to
show receipts of $891,963 or $18,000 less than budgeted. Mr. Horne projected additional revenues to
the Village budgeted at $3,850,000 would bring in receipts at $4,295,398.24, or additional revenue
compared to the budget in the amount of $446,098.24. Hence, Mr. Horne projected the Village would
receive in total General Fund revenue $21,597,744; $574,930 less (3 %) than projected.
Mr. Horne did a similar analysis of the Village's Expenditures. He expected Village expenditures
originally budgeted at $25,256,875 would result in actual expenditures of $24,726,481 or a favorable
variance of $530,394. When comparing projected revenue against projected expenses, he projected the
difference between projected revenue and projected expenditures would produce an unfavorable
variance of $44,536. While this number may sound encouraging, Mr. Horne reminded the Board in the
original budget, the Village had projected a funding deficit of $3,084,000 which would be taken from
the Village's fund balance. Hence, the actual amount to be taken from the Village's fund balance for
2009 would be $3,128,737.
Mr. Horne gave a report to the Board on the Village's Fund Balance. He noted no single item in a
typical state or local government financial statement attracts more attention, discussion, or debate than
fund balance. The simple definition of fund balance is assets minus liabilities. He noted the Village's
fund balance actually had five different components: non - spendable fund balances which were assets
that are practically never converted to cash from the view of the current budget period. He gave
receivables in the Waukegan Road TIF District as an example. He also stated some fund balances
could be classified as restricted. These are resources that are subject to legal restrictions such as the
Village's commuter parking revenue, the Illinois Department of Transportation Motor Fuel Taxes, and
E911 Emergency Dispatch. The Village has also committed fund balances which are self - imposed
limitations set in place by the Corporate Authorities. An example of that was restrictions placed on the
proceeds to be received from the sale of Dempster Street property. Mr. Home also noted the Village
has assigned fund balances which are limitations resulting from the intended use of resources. For
example, for budget year 2009, the Village assigned over $3 million of fund balance to meet General
Fund expenses. Finally, Mr. Horne noted unassigned fund balances are net resources in excess of
everything classified above.
Mr. Horne then noted the Village's Fund Balance had fluctuated from a low point in 2003 of
$3,512,883 to a high point of $10,557,567 in 2007. Mr. Horne noted at the Village's June 2008
Workshop, the Board set a policy of maintaining a 25% fund balance. He then noted the Village's
Fund Balance had fluctuated from 2005 to the present between a low of approximately 25% to a high
of 45 %. Currently the fund balance was 30 %. However, the Village's unrestricted fund balance had
fluctuated between a low of 23 %, the current fund balance, to a high of approximately 45 %.
Mr. Home then reported on the Reserves within the Village's Water Fund. He noted the current Fund
Balance in this account was $2,267,000 or 40% of the fund's operating expenses. He reminded the
Board the Village needed to replace the Dempster Street water main at a cost of $1.5 million and plans
were being made to paint the water tower at a cost of $725,000.
Mr. Home then reported on Economic Projections. He noted national reports showed June new home
sales had increased by 11 % and the supply of homes had decreased from 10.2 months to 8.8 months.
He believes increased home sales may be a good predictor of the end of the recession.
Mr. Horne then answered questions from the Board and the audience. He then introduced Dan Berg,
the Village's Auditor.
Mr. Berg reported the Village's Audit Report was currently in typing. The report had been delayed in
being finalized, in part, because the Village's Finance Department was short staffed. Recently the
Village had hired an Assistant Finance Director who had helped provide documents needed to finalize
the audit report. Mr. Berg then discussed the preliminary audit. He did not expect these numbers to
change significantly. Mr. Berg noted the Village's statement of net assets as of December 31, 2008,
showed total net assets in the amount of $35,893,311 for general governmental activities and
$2,591,342 for business type activities (i.e., the Water Fund) for total assets in the amount of
$38,484,653. He also noted the Library had total net assets in the amount of $4,736,215. Based on
revenues in the Water Department, the Village's business activities had a 5% rate of return.
He then reviewed the Village Balance Sheet. He noted the General Fund had a total fund balance of
$10,495,039. The Debt Service Fund had a fund balance of $468,461. The Lehigh/Ferris TIF Fund
had a total fund balance in the amount of $13,031,365. The Waukegan Road TIF Fund had a negative
fund balance in the amount of $1,173,419.
Mr. Berg then explained the difference (reconciliation) of Fund Balances of the government funds to
the governmental activities in the statement of assets. He noted different accounting methods resulted
in different numbers. For example, the modified accrued method is used in the Fund Balance of the
government funds. These do not include capital assets used in governmental activities, certain interest
for payment that is not yet due, long term liabilities, and unamortized bond premiums.
FIe noted based on the Village's audit, the General Fund fund balance decreased by $1.2 million from
December 31, 2007, to December 31, 2008. Also, the pension funds were $350,000 short of what the
actuarial had recommended. This discrepancy was explained because levies for pensions are always
one year behind. The Village's combined pension's lost $5 million in 2008 in market value or a loss of
10 %. While that is disappointing, it is not as bad as what Mr. Berg has seen in other communities.
Mr. Berg then answered questions from the Board, and the audience. These questions included
whether this year's audit report would have comments. Mr. Berg noted comments from previous years
had been cleared up except for the auditor's comment regarding segregation of duties in the Finance
Department which was due to the shortage of personnel in that department. He also noted a prior year
adjustment due to the receipt of an IRMA deposit had been incorrectly accounted for and this would be
corrected. He noted the repayment of certain funds from the Waukegan Road TIP to the General Fund
would be correctly noted on the final audit report.
A general discussion then ensued regarding advancements to the Lehigh/Ferris TIF District from the
General Fund and the repayment of these funds.
Finally, a discussion ensued regarding the difference between Moody's calculations and the Auditor's
calculation of the Village's fund balance. Mr. Berg stated different methodologies were used and
Moody's approach was more focused on the Village's ability to pay debt.
There being no further questions, Trustee Marcus moved to adjourn the special meeting. The motion
was seconded by Trustee Gomberg and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice at 8:28 pm.

Legislative Summary
Resolution 09 -45
AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION FOR THE LEHIGH AVENUE RESURFACING IMPROVEMENT
Introduced:
August 10, 2009
Synopsis:
To authorize the Village President to execute a "Local Agency Agreement For Federal
Participation" with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the Lehigh Avenue
Resurfacing improvement.
Purpose:
The agreement between the Village and IDOT is necessary in order to receive the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding that was programmed by the North Shore
Council of Mayors and place the project on the letting schedule with the State for September
18, 2009.
Background:
Lehigh Avenue was identified as a federal aid eligible route and in need of resurfacing to
improve the driving surface, reduce maintenance costs and extend the useful life of the street.
Tire proposed limits of construction are from Oakton Street to Lincoln Avenue. The Village
applied for and received ARRA funding through the North Shore Council of Mayors as a Local
Area Pavement Preservation Project for construction. This project will be substantially similar
to the Austin Avenue, Harlem Avenue and Shermer Road LAPP projects. The total estimated
project cost is $473,491, with the Village's share will be $145,491.
Resolution 09 -24, passed on April 13, 2009, expressed the Village's willingness to provide its
share of these costs for this project. The work is scheduled to begin in May 2010.

Legislative Summary
Ordinance 09 -14
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING AN ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT TO THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT
FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8710 FERRIS AND 8701 LINCOLN AVENUE
FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT IN THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
Introduced:
July 27, 2009
Synopsis:
This ordinance will grant an amendment to the special use permit for the
property located at 8710 Ferris and 8701 Lincoln Avenue to allow the unit mix
to be reduced to 64 units.
Purpose:
The Unified Development Code requires an amendment to a special use permit
when revisions are made to Planned Unit Developments.
Background:
In 2005, pursuant to Ordinance 05 -28, the Corporate Authorities approved a
special use permit for a Planned Unit Development at 8710 Ferris and 8701
Lincoln Avenue for the construction of 65 town homes. In 2007, at the request
of the owners, Toll Brothers, Inc., and pursuant to Ordinance 07 -07, the Village
approved an amendment to the special use permit to reduce the number of units
from 65 to 64 and to change the mix of the style of the units. Ordinance 09 -10
granted an amendment to the special use permit which would change the unit
mix back to the 65 town homes approved in the original Planned Unit
Development. Now Toll Brothers wishes to change the unit mix in another
portion of the site which will reduce the unit mix to 64 units again. Pursuant to
the Unified Development Code adopted pursuant to Ordinance 07 -07, such
minor changes all allowed without the need of going through a full formal Plan
Commission process, so long as the amendment has been approved by the
Village Administrator, Corporation Counsel, Building Commissioner, and Plan
Commission Chairperson. All these officials have approved the proposed
amendment. Approval of this ordinance will formally grant an additional
amendment to the special use permit granted pursuant to Ordinance 05 -28.
