Pursuant to proper notice in accordance with the Open Meetings Act, the special meeting was called to
order at 9:00 am by Village President Daniel J. Staackmann who led the assemblage in the Pledge of
Allegiance. Clerk Kalogerakos called the roll. In attendance were:
Elected Officials: President Daniel Staackmann, Trustees Dan DiMaria, Larry Gomberg,
William Grear, John Thill, and Maria Toth, and Village Clerk Tony

Mitchell
Also Present: State Senator Ira Silverstein, State Representative John D'Amico, David
Davis from U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky's office, several
members of the press, five members from the Village of Morton Grove
EMA, and approximately five residents
President Staackmann stated the purpose of this meeting was to conduct abus tour to examine the
Village's infrastructure needs.
Trustee Grear moved to adjourn to the buses waiting in the parking lot and begin the tour. The motion
was seconded by Trustee Thill and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 9:01 pm.
The Trustees and the assemblage boarded two buses. The bps traveled to and stopped at the Village of
Morton Grove train station. Mr. Wade stated the train station area was the cornerstone of Village
improvements within the Lehigh/Ferris TIF District. Plans include the realignment of the Metra
crossing which currently has sharp angles and presents a potential hazard for bicyclists and
pedestrians. The Village also is interested in improving the area with a fountain and other "hardscape"
in order to spur economic development. Currently there are 1,000 people who board the Metra train in
the Village of Morton Grove each day and this number is trending upward. The Village had applied
for a $2.5 million grant with the help of Representative Schakowsky's office for the purpose of
improving the rail crossing in this area. The Village also is considering plans to construct a parking
garage for 140 — 170 cars. The Village has applied for a $4.2 million grant, also with the help of
Representative Schakowsky's office. The Village has assembled sites in this area which would be
conducive to this parking facility. The parking facility and other improvements within the area may
help spur economic growth and attract restaurants, and additional commercial uses, as well as
residential housing.
Mr. Wade also showed the assemblage the current Metra rail yard. This rail yard was established
when this area was mostly industrial. With the transition of this area to residential, the yard needs to
be moved. Metra will require the Village to pay for the cost to relocate this yard. The Village is also
considering plans for a rail -walk from Dempster Street to the train station. This and other Village
planned improvements may be impacted if the federal government's plans for a high speed rail line are
implemented in this area. Mr. Wade then stated a private development on the site immediately north
of the train station is in the works and expects this site to be developed within the next two years. Mr.
Wade concluded by thanking our local representatives for their interest in this area and their assistance
in securing grants and necessary state and federal support for these projects.
The assemblage then reboarded the buses and traveled to the 5800 block of Dempster Street. Mr.
Wade noted Dempster Street has daily traffic of about 40,000. Left hand turns are difficult and there
are approximately 200 annual accidents from Central Avenueto the Metra tracks. While these
accidents are typically minor, the State of Illinois would like to install a center turning lane to improve
traffic flow and reduce accidents. The construction of these lanes will eliminate most on- street parking
on Dempster Street. The Village, several years ago, initiated a program to install additional parking
both within existing parkways and on lots purchased for the Village. Mayor Staackmann and Mr.
Wade thanked the Village's Legislators for their support in acquiring grants for these acquisitions.
Dempster Street improvements are expected to begin in 2010. Mr. Wade and Village Engineer Chris
Tomich then walked the assemblage to the public alley immediately south of the site. Mr. Tomich
noted this alley is indicative of commercial alleys behind Dempster Street. The Village has been
trying to keep up with these alleys and compared to Waukegan Road their condition is good.
Especially during the 2010 construction, these alleys will become an important means to transverse
Dempster Street and access parking behind the Dempster Street stores.
Mr. Tomich then invited the assemblage to walk approximately one block to the east to the intersection
of Marmora and Carol Street. Mr. Tomich noted this is a good example of the state of the Village's
concrete streets. The street remains drivable while certain imperfections can be seen. Concrete streets
are more expensive to install than asphalt streets. They deteriorate at a slower rate than asphalt but
when the street fails it is more practical to replace an entire street rather than to patch. The Village's
goal is to improve all streets to an at least satisfactory rating. The intersection at Mannora and Carol
can be maintained at a satisfactory level for an additional five to seven years. Mr. Tomich also noted,
it is important to coordinate repairs and replacement of sewers and water mains so this work can be
done concurrently. Usually, replacing sewers while replacing streets doubles the Village's cost.
The assemblage then reboarded the buses and traveled to the intersection of Oriole and Greenwood.
This intersection is an example of an asphalt street. This street is in poor condition north of the
intersection and the condition south of the intersection changes into the next block. The Village has
several options as to how to address these streets including an entire reconstruction, a patch, or an edge
grinding and patch. Edge grinding is an efficient solution but may not be aesthetically acceptable to
some residents.
The assemblage walked one block north to the intersection of Oriole and Churchill. Mr. Tornich
advised this is an example of micro - resurfacing. The Village utilized this procedure up through 2004.
Micro - resurfacing
lasts for
approximately seven years and then wears away.
In the future it may be
another method to
consider
saving the Village money.
The assemblage reboarded the buses and traveled to the intersection of Emerson and Waukegan. Mr.
Tomich walked with the assemblage down the alley immediately west of Waukegan. The alley is in
failed shape. Mr. Tomich said it may be more cost effective in the long run to replace these alleys with
concrete. Concrete is more expensive but more durable.
The assemblage then reboarded the buses and traveled to the Village's north water tower and pumping
station. A general discussion ensued about painting the water tower which showed some signs of rust.
Mr. DeMonte gave the assemblage a tour of the pumping station. He pointed out the Village had
pumps that were over 50 years old. While they serve the Village well, they were not energy efficient.
Mr. DeMonte also stated the Village was considering replacing water meters. Many were twenty years
old and the accuracy was in question. Replacing the water meters with new technology would provide
for a more efficient means of billing and the Village may consider monthly billing to assist residents
with budget purposes. Mr. DeMonte displayed an example of a failed water main. He also showed an
example of a sewer lining system which saves trees, time, and money.
There being no further questions, the assemblage reboarded the buses and traveled back to Village
Hall. Trustees Grear and DiMaria thanked the assemblage including Village staff for their
participation in this tour. Trustee Great then moved to adjourn the special meeting. The motion was
seconded by Trustee Toth and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice at 11:21 pm.

Services Director Jackie Walker - O'Keefe, Network Administrator Boyle
Wong, Public Works Street Superintendent Paul Tobin, Village Engineer
Chris Tomich, and Public Works Superintendent Joe Dalnn
Also Present: Members of the press, members from the Village of Morton Grove
EMA, and approximately ten residents
President Staacknnarm stated the purpose of this meeting was to review the Village of Morton Grove's
capital project needs during the next five years.
Mr. Wade than stated that during this evening's presentation various department heads and
management, personnel of the Village would present priority capital projects of the Village
summarized by the year the project was expected to take place, a description of the project, the
Village's prioritization of the project, and its funding source and estimated cost.
Public Works Director Andy DeMonte then reported on various Public Works projects. They
included:
1. Ferris Avenue Water Main Project. This project would take place in the year 2010, and would
replace an eight inch water main with a sixteen inch water main located on Ferris Avenue in
order to increase the water capacity and fire flow in this neighborhood. The fund would be
paid for by the Lehigh/Ferris Tax Increment Financing District at an estimated cost of
$443,229.00
2. Mr. DeMonte stated the Village also plarmed to replace the water main on Dempster Street
from Central Avenue to Narragansett Avenue in the year 2010 at a total cost of $1, 400,000.00.
Fifty -three percent of these funds would come from the Enterprise Fund which is a fund
supported by water billing, and forty -seven percent from the Village's Lehigh/Ferris TIF
District Fund.
3.
Mr. DeMonte also stated the Village also planned in 2010 to relocate a twenty inch water
feeder which supplies water to the Village's two million gallon tank reservoir at the north
pumping station at ai anticipated total cost of $230,000. Approximately one hundred twenty
feet of this feeder is located between existing houses. The Village desires to reroute the feeder
underneath Belleforte Avenue and an alley which will eliminate anticipated problems with
future repairs. The total length of the reroute is estimated at four hundred feet.
4.
Mr. DeMonte stated in 2010 and 2011 the Village planned to upgrade its supervisory control
and data acquisition (SCADA) which monitors and controls various operations at both pumping
stations at an anticipated total cost of $110,261. Modern technology upgrades are needed for
safe and reliable pumping operations.
5.
Mr. Joe Dahm, Public Works Superintendent, advised the Board that the Village also planned a
valve replacement program from 2010 through 2014, at a total cost of $328,000.00 to be paid
for in the Enterprise Fund. Mr. Dalun noted that the Village has one thousand fifty valves.
Over the next five years, twenty -five needed to be replaced. The Village replaces in -house
valves up to a ten inch size. Valves that cannot be repaired in -house need to be replaced by
outside contractors.
6.
Mr. Dahm noted that the Village planned on replacing the twelve inch and twenty inch water
mains that cross under the river between Caldwell Avenue and Natchez Avenue in the Cook
County Forest Preserve. Mr. Dalnn noted that the Village has experienced several leaks within
these water mains and has serious concerns for the condition of the mains under the river. This
project is expected to take place in 2010 at a cost of $700,000.00 to be paid for through the
Enterprise Fund.
7.
Mr. Dahm also reported on Village plans to replace water mains along twelve different streets
between 2012 and 2014 at a total cost of $3,478,831.00 to be paid for through the Enterprise
Fund. The replacement of these water mains has been recommended by the Village's
consultant, Consoer Townsend Envirodyne Engineers, Inc. In order to connect deficiencies
such as high or low operating pressures, insufficient fire flows, poor water quality, or
inadequate velocity.
8.
Mr. Dahm also reported on pump replacement projects to take place between 2012 and 2013 at
a cost of $390,000.00. This program would replace two pumps that are over fifty -five years
old. Replacement of the pumps will increase electrical efficiency and cut electrical
costs.
Further it is becoming harder to find qualified technicians to work on this aging equipment.
9.
Mr. Dahm also reported on the replacement of a north station influent valve in the year 2014 at
a cost of $44,574.00 to be paid for through the Enterprise Fund. This project will replace a
sixteen inch inlet valve on reservoir number 2 at the north pumping station and has been
mandated by the City of Chicago to study the rate of water filling the Village reservoir tanks.
10.
Mr. Dahm also reported in the year 2010 the Village plans on painting the north water tower at
cost of $367,000.00 to be paid through the Enterprise Fund. The tower was last painted in
1996. During the process the tank will be out of service for forty -five to sixty days.
11.
Mr. Dahm also noted in the year 2011 the Village will also paint the south water tower at a cost
of $372,907.00 to be paid for through the Enterprise Fund.
12,
Mr. Dalmn noted that the Village plans in the years 2010 through 2012 to replace all water
meters throughout the Village at a cost of $2,587,197.00 to be paid through the Enterprise
Fund. The present average age of water meters in the Village is twenty -six years old. It is
estimated that the Village looses fourteen percent of water it receives as a result of aged meters.
These meters will also allow for a radio read system which will reduce the man hours needed to
read meters from twenty -five days to approximately five days. Mr. DeMonte estimated that the
Village would retrieve its investment in the water meter replacements in approximate 4.8 years.
He also stated that the new meters would allow the Village to move to a monthly billing cycle
which would make budgeting easier for residents.
13. Mr. Dahm then advised the Board in 2010 the Village planned on spending approximately
$574,740.00 to line various storm and sanitary sewers within the Lehigh/Ferris TIF District.
Sewer lining is a cost efficient way to rehabilitate sewers and increase their life expectancy
from twenty -five to fifty years. This process also reduces costs, destruction of trees, driveways,
and resident inconvenience.
14. Mr. Dahm stated that from 2010 to 1014 the Village plans to line various sewers throughout the
Village at a cost of $1,061,827.00.
15. Mr. Dalun noted that in 2010 the Village plans to undertake a west basin sewer study at a cost
of $35,000.00 to analyze the hydraulic grade line for the existing drainage system to better
determine what storm events causes the overflow of drainage structures at the intersection of
Lake Street and Oriole Avenue. After analyzing the existing storm sewers, proposed
improvements will be considered.
16. Division Superintendent Paul Tobin reported in the year 2010, the Village planned to replace
the diesel and gasoline at the Public Works facility at a cost of $29,000.00 to be paid from the
General Fund.
17, Mr. Tobin also noted that in 2011, the Village plans to replace the gasoline tanks sump and -
tank monitoring equipment at a cost of $14,000.00.
18. Mr. Tobin noted that from 2010 through 2014, the Village will replace various municipal
vehicles at a cost of $1,250,000.00. Staff is recommending that the Village allot $250,000.00
per year towards the replacement of vehicles in the Public Works, Police Department, Fire
Department, and Village Hall. The average age of the current fleet is twelve years old with the
oldest vehicle being built in 1972. The aging fleet is increasingly burdensome for the
maintenance division.
19. The vehicle replacement program for the Enterprise Fund, this replacement will be paid for
through the Village's Enterprise Fund and will begin a replacement program to maintain the
equipment that serves as the Village's water and sewer infrastructure at an anticipated total five
year cost of $650,000.
20. Village Engineer Chris Tomich then reported on the Village's Asphalt Street Improvement
Program to take place between the years 2010 through 2014 at various locations throughout the
Village at a total cost of $11,325,000.00. Mr. Tomich noted that the Village undertook an
asphalt street inventory of seventy centerline miles of street. Approximately thirty miles are
below a pavement condition rated satisfactory. The goal of the Village is to get as many streets
in good condition as quickly as possible and then keep them in good condition. The Village's
current strategy is that the street's that need to be reconstructed last in order to be "save streets
that can be saved." The Village is also applying for Federal funds for these resurfacing
projects, and funds may be available from the Lehigh/Ferris TIF District for streets within that
district. Mr. Tomich noted that concrete streets also needed to be replaced, but these streets
would be replaced last due to the cost of repair, and a determination that concrete streets
generally last longer than asphalt streets.
21. Mr. Tomich then reported on the Village's Commercial Alley Improvement Program to take
place between years 2010 and 2014 at a cost of $2,500,000.00 to be paid for through the
General Fund. This prograrn will replace failed alleys mostly along Waukegan Road and some
along Dempster Street. Businesses and staff have expressed a preference for concrete alleys
which provide a higher surface level and support increased usage. Mr. Tomich also noted that
Dempster Sheet improvements are being considered. The total prefmal cost for this project is
$6,100,000.00 which includes the cost for the water main replacement. The Village is pursuing
many funding sources for this project.
22. Building Commissioner Ed Hildebrandt reported that in 2010 the Village plans a Lighting and
Fan Improvement Project in the Public Works garage at a cost of $20,000.00 to be paid for
through the General Fund. The use of this facility has evolved from storage to an operational
use and therefore, more lighting and ventilation is required.
23. Mr. Hildebrandt reported that in 2010 the Village planned upgrades to the H /HVAC system in
Fire Station #5 at a cost of $9,000.00 to create better room comfort and system operating
efficiencies.
24. Mr. Hildebrandt also noted that in 2010 the Village will undertake a temporary solution to
provide evidence storage for the Police Department which includes the installation of steel
caging in the north half of the current police garage at an estimated cost of $12,000.00.
25. Mr. Hildebrandt stated that the Village planned to replace the air dampers in the Police
Department gun range in 2010 at a cost of $2,300.00.
26. Mr. Hildebrandt stated that the Village planned to seal coat the exterior masonry in the
Flickinger Center in 2010 at an estimated cost of $4,000.00.
27. Mr. Hildebrandt stated that the Village planned to replace the Public Works salt dome in 2011
at a cost of $294,000.00. The current salt storage dome was erected in 1981. A 2008
engineering evaluation indicated the dome is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.
28. In 2011 the Village plans to conduct an update to its Police Department space planning study at
an anticipated cost of $20,000.00. A previous study was undertaken by the architecture firm of
Sente and Ruebel which seemed most conducive to meeting some of the Village's needs within
a reasonable budget. An update of this plan is needed to take into consideration operational
changes and additional requirements by State statute. The Village should consider various
alternatives including remodeling the existing facility, building an additional to the existing
facility, or constructing a new building.
29. Mr. Hildebrandt further stated that the parking lot at the Flickinger Municipal Center and both
fire states needs to be repaved at a cost of $204,300.00. Plans for this project are anticipated in
2012.
30. In 2012, the Village plans to paint and seal coat the cement block walls in the vehicle bays of
the fire department apparatus room as well as coat the floors with an epoxy finish designed for
vehicle traffic in order to reduce slip and falls. The cost for this project is $40,500.00.
31. The Village plans to replace the stand by generator and electrical service at the Public Works
facility at 2010 at a cost of $165,000.00. The current main electrical panel is an obsolete live
front paneled which poses a safety hazard. This project will move the generator to the interior
of the building and provide an adequate fuel tank, upgrade the automatic transfer switch and
replace the obsolete electrical panel.
32. In 2012, the Village plans to relocate the Public Works garage service doors to the exterior
walls adjacent to the overhead door for more efficient access to the maintenance shop at a cost
of $17,000.00.
33. In 2013, the Village plans to upgrade the elevator controls at the Flickinger Municipal Center
and Fire Station #4 at a cost of $22,300.00 to be compliant with the requirements of the State
fire marshal.
34. In 2013, the Village plans to replace the standby generator in Fire Station #4 at a cost of
$83,000.00. The current generator was installed in 1974 and is not large enough to supply
power for the entire needs of the building.
35. In 2013, the Village plans to replace the carpeting at both fire stations and the public works
facilities at a cost of $87,000.00.
36. In 2013, the Village plans to install material yards storage sheds at the Public Works facility at
a cost of $40,000.00. These sheds will assist in the prevention of storm water run off into the
sewers located in the yard and will prevent material shrinkage.
37. In 2013, the Village plans to rekey all the locks at the Flickinger Municipal Center at a cost of
$5,400.00. The last time the building was rekeyed was in the early 1990's.
38. In 2014, the Village plans kitchen restorations at both fire stations at a cost of $19,000.00.
39. hi 2014, the Village plans to replace the roof couplings at the Public Works facilities at a cost
of $38,500.00. In order to protect the masonry walls from moisture infiltration.
40. In 2014, the Village plans an addition to the Police Department garage at a cost of $230,000.00.
In order to replace the parking stalls that were given up for evidence storage. This project may
be deleted or expanded based on the outcome of the 2011 Police Department Space Needs
Facility study.
41. In 2014, the Village will replace the fire alarm system at the Flickinger Municipal Center in
order to install manual pull stations and additional hom strobe, audio - visual notification
devices at a cost of $15,000.00.
42. In 2014, the Village will replace the standby generator at the Flickinger Municipal Center at a
cost of $235,000.00. The current generator was installed in 1979, and does not supply enough
power to make the Village Hall and Police Department operational during a power outage for
example, now of the electrical outlet which power computers and the telephone systems are
powered by this generator.
Finance Director /Treasurer Ryan Horne then provided a summary of the Village's capital needs by
year. He noted the anticipated cost for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are $7,783,391,
$5,833,231, $5,933,500, $5,263,518 and $4,641,226; respectively. . The total anticipated cost of all
Village capital improvements is $29,454;866.00.
The Village's largest five capital projects are (1) the Dempster Street Water Main Replacement Project
anticipated for the year 2010 at a cost of $1,400,000; (2) the Water Main Replacement Program
anticipated for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 at a total cost of $3,478,831; (3) the Water Meter
Replacement and Upgrade Project anticipated for the years 2010, 2011, and 2012 at a total cost of
$2,587,197; (4) the Asphalt Street Improvement Program anticipated for the years 2010, 2011, 2012,
2013 and 2014 at a cost of $2,760,000, $2,300,000, $2,300,000, $2,415,000 and $1,550,000,
respectively for a total cost of $11,325,000; and (5) the Commercial Alley Improvement Program
anticipated for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 at a cost of $500,000 each year for a total of
$2,500,000. These largest five projects represent $21,291,028 or 78.28% of the Village total capital
improvement expenditures.
Mr. Home then reviewed the capital projects by funding source and noted that the total capital project
expenditures from the General Fund are $16,681,300.00 or approximately 57% of the total
expenditures. The expenditures from the Lehigh/Fenis TIF District fund are $1,675,969.00 or
approximately 6% of total expenditures. The expenditures from the Water Department are
$11,097,597.00 or approximately 38% of the total expenditures. Finally, Mr. Horse summarized the
funding by source by year.
Mayor Staackrnann noted that while these numbers are large the Village as working diligently to
obtain grants and matching funds for many of these projects. Trustee DiMaria noted that these
expenditures were easy to put off but eventually they catch up to you. He believed the Village had
stretched everything possible to this point. Trustee Marcus noted the numbers were frightening but
perhaps just the tip of the iceberg; unanticipated expenditures may come up. The Village needed to
start with a plan, and they needed to be honest with the residents. He was confident that the Village
could find the revenue to meet its needs. Mayor Staacknarm asked for questions from the audience
and there were none. He then thanked the audience and the Village staff for their time in the
preparation of this report and their attendance at the meeting.
There being no further business Trustee DiMaria then moved to adjourn the special meeting. The
motion was seconded by Trustee Thill and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice at 8:29 pm.

Legislative Summary
Resolution 09 -47
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE VILLAGES OF MORTON GROVE, NILES, AND SKOKIE
FOR MUTUAL AID AMBULANCE BILLING

Recommendation:

Respectfully submitted:
Prepared by:
September 14, 2009
This Resolution authorizes the execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) in order
to bill for ambulance service when delivered at the mutual aid request of Niles or Skokie.
This IGA will authorize the assessment of resident ambulance service fees for residents of
Niles or Skokie when a Morton Grove ambulance responds to a request for mutual aid in
either community, and will authorize the assessment of resident rates when a Niles or Skokie
ambulance responds to a request for mutual aid within the Village of Morton Grove. The
actual fee structure was established by previously enacted Ordinance 08 -08.
The Villages of Morton Grove, Niles and Skokie render emergency medical services and
ambulance transportation for persons within the other communities when the ambulance unit
or crews from one of the fire departments are unavailable pursuant to long standing mutual
aid agreements. Each Village has also enacted ordinances that establish fees for ambulance
services, various rescue activities and service calls within their respective communities. All
three communities have identical pricing rate structures. These pricing structures provide a
reduced rate for residents of the respective community and stipulate that each Village will
accept payment assigned by a qualifying insurance carrier (Medicare, Medicaid, or a private
insurance carrier) for ambulance services rendered to a resident as full satisfaction of any
amount due. As part of the three communities' mutual aid agreement(s), an
intergovernmental agreement has been formulated which provides that, during mutual aid
events, residents of the requesting community shall be charged the resident rate. Therefore,
in circumstances when Niles or Skokie request the response of a Morton Grove ambulance to
their community to service a resident, the Village of Morton Grove will bill the resident from
Niles or Skokie as if they were a resident of the Village of Morton Grove. Likewise, when a
Niles or Skokie ambulance responds to a mutual aid request within the Village of Morton
Grove, the Morton Grove resident will be charged a resident rate for such services.
Fire Department
In 2008, Village of Morton Grove ambulances responded to approximately 300 ambulance
alarms in Niles and Skokie. This agreement will allow the assessment of service fees for
these responses.
No expenditure is necessary.

To authorize the Village President to approve the donation of nine (9) found
bicycles in the Village of Morton Grove. Since ownership of the bicycles
were not ascertained, ownership will be transferred to the Village so the
bicycles can be donated to a not - for - profit group called the "Working Bikes"
in Chicago.
Due to lack of bicycle storage space, bicycles need to be disposed of on a
regular basis.
The Morton Grove Police Department on a regular basis receives calls for
found bicycles in the Village. The bicycles are collected and inventoried and
stored in the Police garage. They are kept at least six months to allow the
department to ascertain ownership. If no owner information is found, the
department can dispose of the bicycles in accordance to department policies
and state guidelines. In the past, auctioning off the bicycles was not cost
effective due to the minor value of the bicycles.

Resolution 09 -50
AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE 4,500 TONS OF ROADWAY SALT
Introduced:
( September 14, 2009
Synopsis:
The Department of Central Management Services (CMS) administers the Joint
Purchasing Program for the State. The purpose of the Joint Purchasing program is to
allow units of local government to participate in State negotiated contracts, and thereby
take advantage of State contract pricing which should result in procurement savings to
local governments.
Purpose:
Acquire deicing materials for the 2009/2010 winter snow season.
Background:
Snow and ice accumulating on roads and bonding to the pavement, makes it difficult to
remove with snow plows. Salt applied to the surface causes some of the snow and ice
to melt. The melt -water combines with the salt to create liquid called brine. The brine
then moves the salt around and continues the melting process allowing bonded ice to
be removed by Village plows. By passing this resolution, the village shall commit to a
purchase of 4,500 tons of rock salt from Morton Salt Company at a cost of $74.00 per
ton for a total cost to the Village of $333,000. Funds for the balance of the contract
will be appropriated in the 2010 budget.

Objective
To amend Title 5 -8 -7 and Title 5- 1311 -1, of the Village Municipal Code to eliminate

Purpose:
This ordinance will remove several streets which were formally designated as truck

residents to enjoy peace and harmony on local sheets.
Background:
The Village, as part of its regular review of its Municipal Code has reviewed title 5 -8 -7
and 5- 1311-1. The Village is looking to further develop the Lehigh/Ferris Redevelopment
District into a more transit- oriented pedestrian friendly neighborhood. The Village hired
the traffic consulting firm of Kenig, Lindgren, O'Hara, Aboona, Inc., which has
determined certain stieets within the Village no longer should be designated as "buck
routes ". A truck route permits motor vehicles weighing over eight (8) tons or with a
license plate designation of "H" or higher. This ordinance will remove the following
streets from their prior designation as "truck routes"
Austin Avenue between Lincoln and Main,
Chestnut Street between Lehigh and its western tenninus,
Elm Sheet between Lehigh and its western terminus,
Ferris Avenue between Dempster and Lincoln,
Lehigh Avenue between Lincoln and Main,

This ordinance will grant an amendment to the special use pen-nit for the
property located at 8425 Waukegan Road to allow a second story addition and
reconstruction.
The Unified Development Code requires an amendment to a special use permit
when revisions are made to the site plan.
In 2008, pursuant to Ordinance 08 -40, the Corporate Authorities approved a
special use permit for a Planned Unit Development at 8425 Waukegan Road to
-allow a second story addition and reconstruction. Since then, Bethany Terrace
changed architects for the construction. The new architect made minor
modifications to the floor plan and site plan to improve the layout of the patient
rooms and common areas, resulting in a reduction of six patient beds. The new
architect also completely changed the elevations which were reviewed by the
Appearance Commission at their September 9, 2009, meeting. Pursuant to the
Unified Development Code, such minor changes are 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 of these officials have
approved the proposed amendment. Approval of this ordinance will formally
grant an additional amendment to the special use pennit granted pursuant to
Ordinance 08 -40.
