MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 27, 2010, SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RICHARD T. FLICKINGER MUNICIPAL CENTER 6101 CAPULLNA 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. Village Administrator Joseph F. Wade 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 Village Staff: Village Administrator Joseph F. Wade Also Present: Village residents Mayor Staackmann stated the purpose of this meeting was to discuss real estate issues. The issue surrounded the Culver development. A statement previously mentioned needed to be clarified. This issue wanted residents to know that Culvers will not have to go before the Plan Commission, Appearance Commission, or Traffic Safety Commission because it is already a nonconforming use. Village Administrator Wade then proceeded to give background on Culvers to the residents. Information was not withheld from the residents; however, everyone needed to understand that Culvers could not give the Village any type of concrete agreement. Culvers had to decide on whether to choose between a Niles location at Harlem and Dempster. They were interested in the old Lone Star restaurant. The draw to the Niles location was more reasonable taxes and water bills. Morton Grove viewed this as a time to provide Culvers incentive to come to Morton Grove. The reasoning behind this was that the Morton Grove residents would still be bothered with issues if Culvers did not belong to Morton Grove. The Village was informed that Culvers would like to possibly come to the Village Plaza area at Harlem and Dempster. They were looking to build a store in front of the other stores; however the other stores in the mall would not agree to allow blockage of their stores. That is when Culvers took interest in the bank in that Plaza. Negotiations then proceeded with the Village. At that time, Culvers told the Village this store was smaller than their normal store. The residents were afraid of water being an issue. Mr. Wade stated that homes to the west of the shopping center were at a higher elevation than the Plaza. Also Culver's will provide for their own drainage. Culvers was also interested in the bank property because it has its own separate PIN number. That is an advantage for them. The next concern from the residents was that how well will the Village control the noise issue? Will there be adequate fencing and can there also be arborvitae planted to help control the noise. Trustee Marcus answered that Culver's would have to abide by all the rules all other stores /residents follow. Mayor Staaekmann stated that McDonald's is a great example. The residents in that area feel since the new store was built the noise has been cut dramatically. The Trustees are willing to work with residents to resolve all matters concerning any business in town notjust Culver's. The residents feel the Police Department is not aggressive enough in controlling the delivery trucks during the early morning hours. The trucks delivery behind the Plaza stores and the noise is heard in the resident's homes. Trustee DiMaria stated residents near the Aldi store voiced similar concerns. Aldi has proven to be a good neighbor. They are a wonderful group to work with at all times. Their deliveries also abut residential homes and there is no problem. Trustee Marcus reiterated that the meeting was to address concerns about property values, air quality, etc. Residents cannot state that Culver's should not be able to come into the plaza. That is not a realistic statement. The Trustees also stated that property values might even increase because they feel empty store fronts are a deterrent to potential buyers. Hopefully, this also will fill the stores and then the revenue generated will help bring in more money to the school district again increasing value. One resident is not happy with the snow plows that maintain the plaza. He feels they destroyed his fence. He did repair it and did speak with the owner of the mall. The owner stated he would replace the fencing along the residential line three years ago and it still has not been done. Residents also questioned where the drive thru will be. Mayor Staacicunam stated it would be on the east side of Culver's building. Mayor Staackmann recapped with discussion to Culver's centering around: Pence issue— slates placed in the fence so the debris does not land on the resident's yards; Modern lighting — so lights would not go into the residents homes; Delivery — restriction and noise control on deliveries; and Vegetation — having arborvitae placed along the fence line. An issue was discussed about patrons exiting Culver's to the right and then using Oketo Avenue to turn onto and then Greenwood to get back to Harlem Avenue. Residents requested a one -way to control traffic. The Board stated the block will not like that. The main sign came up for discussion; however, that will be taken to the Appearance Commission to decide upon. The residents also asked if the bus stop could be changed to be in front of Culvers. They feel there will be even a bigger mess with trash from Culvers being dumped on the resident's property. Mayor Staackmann stated that IDOT was impossible to deal with and they are the agency that controls bus stops. Trustee Thill moved to adjourn the Special Meeting. The motion was seconded by Trustee Marcus and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 7:53 pm. Minutes by: Joseph F.

RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) NONE Minutes of February 22, 2010 Board Meeting VII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT Mayor Staackmann proclaimed the month of April, 2010, as "Sexual Assault Awareness Month" in Morton Grove. He said that this is intended to draw attention to the fact that sexual violence remains an intolerable violent crime with public health implications for every person in Illinois. He stated that one in four female college students report that they have been the vic- tims of attempted or completed rate, and 80% of them were victimized by boyfriends, friends, or acquaintances. He urged all citizens of the Village to commit to taking action against rape and sexual assault. 2. Mayor Staackmann said it was a personal pleasure for him to proclaim March 1, 2010, as "Connelly Family Day" in the Village. He said the Connelly family exemplifies the "volunteer spirit" that is a hallmark of the Village. He commended them for giving tireless, from the heart, not wishing for accolades. Mayor Staackmann said he hoped the Connelly family would inspire others to become more engaged in the Village. 3. Mayor Staackmann asked for the Board's concurrence with his appointment of Nancy Strauss - Kelly to the Economic Development Commission. Trustee Thill so moved, seconded by Trustee Marcus.

He asked everyone to have patience with the construction process, and encouraged all to patronize the businesses on Dempster Street. He said this was the beginning of a transformation of the Village. VIII. CLERK'S REPORT Clerk Kalogerakos presented for a first reading Ordinance 10 -06, Amending Title 1, Chapter 5, Section 8 of the Municipal Code to Modify the Meeting Agenda. He explained that, prior to 2005, the Village Board's agenda included a consent agenda. The consent agenda includes ordinances and resolutions which are typically perfunctory or non- controversial in nature. Only one motion and one second is needed to move to approve or deny all the items contained on the consent agenda. The Village President or any of the Trustees may remove any item from the consent agenda at any time prior to a vote being taken. Ordinance 10 -06 would modify the Village Board's agenda to once again include a consentagenda. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 10 -06. IX. STAFF REPORTS Minutes of Ftbmary22, 2ptiD Bnhrti MeptiMgi' A. Village Administrator 1. Presentation of the Results of the Competitive Bidding Process for the Solid Waste and Recycling Contract a. Mr. Wade said this has been a mammoth effort that began last summer. Requests for Proposals were developed and sent to eight solid waste /recycling haulers. Four proposals were received from Arc, Waste Management, Groot, and Veolia. Mr. Wade thanked the members of the ad hoc Solid Waste Advisory Committee, chaired by Trustee Thill, for their hard work and advice. The Committee went through all the proposals to do an "apples to apples" comparison, but there were many different pricing components which made it a difficult task. For example, the vendors have different ways of approaching and pricing single - and multi - family collection rates, single- and multi - family recycling rates, lawn waste stickers, white goods, bulk rates, leaf disposal, etc. b. Mr. Wade said he was happy to report that the results of the bidding process are that the Village will have a new contract with virtually no increase from the prices outlined in the Village's ten -year old contract. Groot is the incumbent hauler and the vendor recommended by the Committee. Mr. Wade said that Groot has invested in equipment used in the Village, and they know the Village, plus they worked hard to give the Village the best pricing possible. He said that all of the proposals are available in his office should any member of the public want to review them. c. Mr. Wade thanked Brooke Biel of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC), stating that Mr. Biel had been an enormous help to the Village in getting the best possible contract because he deals with these types of contracts daily and knows what other communities are getting in their contracts. He was able to point out provisions that other towns are receiving so that Morton Grove could try to get those provisions as well. Mr. Wade said that other municipalities have seen solid waste /recycling pricing increases of anywhere from 14% to 28 %. Morton Grove is getting an excellent price. Mr. Wade thanked Corporation Counsel Liston for writing up a contract with very good language. He thanked Finance Director Ryan Horne and his staff as well. One of the cost - saving factors in this contract is that the Village will now be doing the billing for the solid waste /recycling service. This is thanks to Mr. Horne conferring with his staff and then agreeing that they could work it into the water /sewer billings, so the Village will no longer be incurring any additional costs for solid waste /recycling billing. Mr. Wade also thanked Public Works Director Andy DeMonte, saying that Mr. DeMonte looked at Groot's cost for hauling leaves and recommended that that be taken out of the contract and bid out separately. e. Trustee Thill asked Mr. Wade if residents could still receive a 5% discount on their annual bill if they pay the full year in advance. Mr. Wade said that was still in the contract. Trustee Thill also asked how much the fuel surcharge is. Mr. Wade said there is none. Trustee Thill commended Mr. Biel, as well as Mr. Wade, Mr. Horne, and Mr. DeMonte. He said he was excited that the contract came in at virtually the same pricing as the previous contract. Mr. Wade then turned the presentation over to Brooke Biel of SWANCC. Mr. Biel said that going out to bid is a gamble, but the Village did very well. He said that the new contract begins on May 1, 2010, and is a five -year contract. Mlnutes�DfFebmary 22.2010:8oartl Meeting. X. STAFF REPORTS (continued) Mr. Biel said that, currently, single - family residents pay $13.11 monthly for solid waste/ recycling collection, and multi - family residents pay $8.09 monthly. In addition, the Village pays $.4.65 per single - family household ($4.18 for multi - family households) per month for disposal costs. These rates include leaf disposal. In January 2010, residents saw a slight increase in their monthly payment, because the Village is no longer subsidizing the cost of solid waste/ recycling disposal. Residents are now responsible for 100% of it, or $17.76 per month for single - family residents, $12.27 per month for multi - family residents. g. Mr. Biel described some of the pricing changes: the cost for pick -up of "white goods" (larger appliances) has gone up from $15 to $30, but now also includes larger (console) televisions, which, by law, will be banned from landfills as of 2012. Yard waste stickers are increasing from $1.75 to $2.00. He explained that the "escalator" in the RFPs was a minimum of 2 %, up to a maximum of 4 %. Groot's escalator was originally in the 2 %-4% range, but after negotiations is now 0 % -2.5%. Mr. Biel said that Groot had offered that escalator to the Village of Glenview and he requested it for Morton Grove as well. He said that Groot is offering the best price today, and it will be the best price in the future. h. Trustee Thill asked Mr. Biel to explain the "escalator." Mr. Biel said that it's a provision that allows the vendor, on the contract anniversary dates, to increase their costs, generally based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Historically it's been 4% over a 10 -year period, but with this contract, Groot is capped at 2.5 %, even if inflation hits 10 %. i. Trustee Marcus asked Mr. Biel to talk about disposal costs and what's going on with landfills in the country. Mr. Biel said that SWANCC works hard to keep disposal costs down. They renegotiate contracts when necessary, such as recently with a Wisconsin landfill. The new contract calls for single - family residents to pay $11.54 monthly for solid waste/ recycling collection and $4.65 for disposal. Single- family residents will still pay $17.76 a month, but $1.57 will be used by the Village for fall leaf disposal. Multi- family residents will still pay $12.27 a month for solid waste /recycling collection, including disposal. Mr. Biel said that a new feature of the Groot contract is that, for $125 annually, they will give you another 95- gallon toter strictly for lawn waste, eliminating the need to purchase lawn waste stickers. k. Trustee Thill asked if SWANCC was going to hold any "electronic" collections so that people could dispose of electronics without having to pay the $30. Mr. Biel said that there will be four communities in the SWANCC region, including Morton Grove, where, beginning later this year, twice a week people can bring in electronics such as computers, computer monitors, televisions, etc. to the Public Works Department for collection. SWANCC personnel will assist in the collection of these items and their disposal. Trustee Thill said that the more recycling people do, the better it is for the Village. Mr. Biel agreed, stating that the less solid waste that's collected, the less it costs the Village; the more recycling the Village sends SWANCC, the more SWANCC pays the Village. I. Trustee Marcus said he was glad the presentation was shown tonight so that residents could see the explanation of the contract and pricing, and also so they could see the service pro- vided by SWANCC and how advantageous it is for the Village to belong to that organization. He thanked Mr. Biel again for all that he did to help get an excellent contract for the Village. m. Mayor Staackmann thanked the ad hoc Committee made up of residents, business people, and Chamber of Commerce members. He also thanked the staff for working with this Commit- tee. It was a learning experience for the Committee. He said it was extraordinary to have a contract come in at virtually the same pricing as a ten -year old contract. 1Ninetes offelma 2Z ALP — 90-drd iNeeffig REPORT Ix. STAFF -d Mr. Wade clarified that this new contract currently covers residential customers only. The Village had explored a commercial contract as well but got some pushback from businesses, so they dropped it. Mr. Wade said that the Village would like to continue to explore this again at some future point. Niles has a commercial solid waste /recycling contract and Mr. Wade said that many of the businesses have seen a savings because of it. Plus the service record of Groot is excellent. They are very responsive, and their customer service to the Village is outstanding. 2. Report Regarding Senior Services a. Mr. Wade said that Village staff has looked into five possible senior services providers, with an eye toward what each could offer in terms of recreational and educational services, health screenings, trips, etc. Those five providers are: the Morton Grove Public Library, Golden Friends, the Sunshine Club, Omega Health Care, and the North Shore Senior Center. The Village shared budgetary information with each organization, and each was invited to tour the senior center to see what goes on there /learn what they expectations are. They were then asked to provide a proposal. After reviewing those proposals, staff is recommending further consideration of three of the organizations: the Morton Grove Public Library, the Sunshine Club, and the North Shore Senior Center. The recommendation is that a subcommittee comprised of two trustees and staff be formed to continue the review process going forward. b. Mr. Wade explained that all were excellent organizations, and the only reason the Village eliminated Omega and Golden Friends is because they want to provide adult day care, and they would want to use the second floor of the Civic Center for that. The second floor is currently used by many of the senior clubs. c. He said that the Sunshine Club is more health- based. They propose to enhance the health education programs for seniors and expand health screenings. Recreational services would remain the same as current. The North Shore Senior Center would add lifelong learning programs and would maintain the current level of clubs, programs, and trips. Additionally, they would provide an on -site nurse. The Morton Grove Public Library would not change any of the educational or recreational programs. They would like to expand library programs at the Civic Center and would encourage multi - generational programs, perhaps with Parkview School, to possibly also provide after - school care. Mr. Wade said this could be a nice fit, because the senior programs usually end in the later afternoon, when after - school care would be needed. d. Mr. Wade said that, after the second round of evaluations, the Village is targeting April 1 as the date for a final recommendation. He said he'd like to get the subcommittee together so that they could start meeting as early as next week. He added that Jackie Walker- O'Keefe would continue to manage senior services. e. Trustee Marcus asked for an update on where the Village stands with senior transportation. Mr. Wade said that, as of January 1, the Village introduced a nominal fee system on the senior bus service and is only running one bus instead of two. Village staff has had a couple of meetings with PACE, but PACE has indicated that, as far as the "economics" of providing senior transportation, the Village is actually doing pretty well. PACE will be submitting a proposal; it likely will included reduced hours of service. Liability and labor costs would still lie with the Village. PACE has been very cooperative. Mayor Staackmann noted that the Village still has the taxi -ride service for seniors as well. .... .. _ Minutes of February22, 2010. Board Meeting K B. Corporation Counsel: Ms. Liston had no report. X. A. Trustee DiMaria: STAFF REPORTS (continued) TRUSTEES' REPORTS Trustee DiMaria had no formal report, but announced that, in support of the soon -to -open Morton Grove Farmers' Market, every Wednesday in March from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., if anyone eats at Kappy's, they have pledged to donate a percentage of the receipts to the Farmers' Market. He said he hoped everyone would support the Farmers' Market by eating out at Kappy's on any Wednesday in March. Trustee Gomberg: Trustee Gomberg had no formal report, but reminded everyone that the 2010 Census is coming up, and the Village is taking part in the Census' "Take 10" program. He encouraged everyone to participate in the Census, noting that it only takes about 10 minutes to fill out the census form. He said that, during the 2000 Census, 75% of households mailed back the forms. Trustee Gomberg said it would be nice to top that percentage this time around. Returning the forms and being counted in the Census is critical. Doing so will help ensure that the Village receives its fair share of federal funding for health care, education, and roadway improvements. Census forms will be mailed out between March 15 and March 17, and need to be returned by April 15. Trustee Gomberg said that Village's community programming department taped a "census question- and - answer session" with the help of the Community Relations Commission, which will begin airing next week. He encouraged everyone with questions about the census to watch that program when it airs. If anyone still has questions, they can call Village Hall. C. Trustee Grear: Trustee Grear had no report. D. Trustee Marcus: Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 10 -05, An Ordinance Amending Various Sections of Title 5 Including 5 -1 -5, Entitled "Compliance Citations," 5 -3 -2 Entitled "Vehicle License Requirements," 5-4 -19 Entitled `Violations Suitable for Enforcement by Compliance Citations," and 5.8 -4 Entitled "Prohibited Equipment or Condition." ... ..... _. MinutasofFebtua 22,2010SuardM60n'. N D. Trustee Marcus: (cont'd.) TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) Trustee Marcus explained that this ordinance updates various sections of Title 5 of the Village's Municipal Code to bring them into conformity with contemporary police operations, to prohibit vehicles with expired state registrations from parking on public rights -of -way, and to prohibit vehicles from having tinted or darkened windshields and front windows. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 10 -05. 2, Trustee Marcus reiterated Trustee DiMaria's remarks about the Farmers' Market. He said that the Cable and Telecommunications Commission is also planning to do one of their community programming shows about the Farmers' Market. He said that the Farmers' Market will be located on Waukegan Road, in the parking lot behind a bank, near the Illinois Bone & Joint Building. There will be plenty of signage on Waukegan Road pointing the way. Trustee Thill Trustee Thill presented Resolution 10 -13, Authorizing a Residential Solid Waste Collection Contract with Groot Recycling and Waste Services, Inc. Trustee Thill said he was very excited about this resolution. He moved to approve Resoluticon 10 -13, seconded by Trustee DiMaria. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg aye Tr. Grear aae Tr. Marcus aye Tr. Thill aye Tr. Toth aye Trustee Marcus thanked the Village administration again for putting this together. 2. Trustee Thill then presented Resolution 10 -14, Authorizing the Acceptance of a Water Supply Agreement With the Village of Morton Grove and the Village of Golf. Trustee Thill moved to approve Resolution 10 -14, seconded by Trustee Toth. a. Trustee Thill noted that on page 4 of the agreement, #16, it says that "Morton Grove shall have the right to make inspections of any part of Golfs water distribution system that may affect the quality of water supplied to Golf, and to perform any test required by law. Morton Grove, at its cost, will promptly repair any damage to Golfs water distribution system arising from such inspections." He wondered if that language had been in the previous contract. Mr. DeMonte said that the Village has never had a contract with Golf before, even though Morton Grove has been supplying Golf with water since probably the mid- 1950's. b. Trustee Thill asked if Morton Grove would be responsible for the cost of repairing, for example, a major underground water leak if one was found during an inspection. Mr. DeMonte said that language was in there so the Village could ensure that back -up systems were in place. Corporation Counsel Liston said that the language basically covered any damage that might be caused by the Village's inspection. Trustee Thill said that item #16 did not say that. After a brief review of item #165 Ms. Liston said she understood Trustee Thill's concern. Minutes of Febnaarv22,2010Board Meeting X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) E. Trustee Thill: (cont'd.) c. Ms. Liston said that this Resolution authorizes the Village Administrator to execute a contract substantially like this one. She said that, before that contract is finalized, the Village will bring this provision to Golfs attention for clarification. She said the intent was to make sure that, if Morton Grove caused any damages to Golfs water distribution system during an inspection, it would repair said damages at its own cost. d. Trustee DiMaria said it's important to note that the Village will realize a profit from the sale of water to Golf. Mayor Staackmann said that money would go into the Enterprise Fund. There being no further discussion, Mayor Staackmann called for the vote on Resolution 10 -14. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. DiMaria aae Tr. Gomberg aye Tr. Grear aye Tr. Marcus ave Tr.

Trustee Thill noted that the Village previously contracted out the actual painting of the water tower; this resolution authorizes Dixon Engineering to oversee the painting project. The con- tract has a not -to- exceed value of $19,980. There was no further discussion on Resolution 10 -15. Upon the vote, the motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg aye Tr.

Trustee Thill moved, seconded by Trustee Marcus, to approve Resolution 10 -16. Trustee Thill said that eight bids had been received for this project, and Chicagoland's bid was $59,383 lower than estimated.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) F. Trustee Toth: (cont'd.)

WARRANTS Trustee Gomberg presented the Warrant Register for February 22, 2010 in the amount of $380,389.59. He moved to accept the Warrants, seconded by Trustee Thill. Trustee Thill had several questions: On page 4, there is a check listed for $600 for "pension calculations for non - represented employees ". He asked Finance Director Ryan Horne to explain that. Mr. Horne said that it pertains to non - represented (legacy) employees nearing retirement age. The Village uses a consulting actuary to determine what their pension benefit could be. Trustee Thill noted that, on page 5, there is a charge for "residential knox box'. He wondered what that was. Mr. Horne asked Fire Chief Tom Friel to explain. Chief Friel said it's a small exterior lockbox type of thing used by businesses. It contains keys so that, in the event of a fire, the Fire Department could gain entry without having to knock the doors down. He said it was similar to the lock boxes used by realtors. Knox boxes are available to residents on a very limited basis, typically when a resident has mobility issues within their own home. If anyone's interested, they should call the Fire Department. c. Trustee Thill had a question regarding a payment of $425 for "structural engineering at Bethany Terrace" shown on page 6 of the Warrants. Mr. Horne said that that's for the engineering plan review. The cost is reimbursed to the Village through the building permit. d. Trustee Thill wondered what the payment of $151.70 for "investigative searches" was for. Mr. Horne said that was payment to allow the Police Department to use the Lexus /Nexus database service. The fee is based per -query; it's not a subscription service or a monthly fee. Xlll.

Toth aye RESIDENTS' COMMENTS a. Kristina Otte. Ms. Otte thanked the Board for their support of the Farmers' Market. She said she had a committee of 12 active and dedicated people working on this. May 291h will be the opening day and there will be a ribbon- cutting ceremony at 10:00 a.m. The Farmers' Market will be open every Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. until October 16. 10 ,. Minutes of February 22, 2010Zoayi Mean# Xlll. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued) Ms. Otte said the address of the Farmers' Market is 8930 Waukegan Road. There will be lots of balloons and signage. Community groups and local musicians will also participate. She said that the committee is doing a lot of fundraising right now, including the previously- mentioned support by dining at Kappy's any Wednesday in March between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Ten percent of the proceeds will benefit the Farmers' Market, but you must mention the Farmers' Market when you pay your bill. She encouraged everyone to visit their website: www.mgfarmersmarket.com. Ms. Otte asked that all the trustees submit a recipe that uses fresh produce that you'd get at a Farmers' Market. b. Eric Poders. Mr. Poders said that he appreciated the time that the Village Administrator and the Director of Family and Senior Services are taking to research and recommend senior services providers. He said that he personally planned to do a demographic analysis of the Village's seniors and what they want in terms of senior living, i.e., assisted living. He said he was going to be working with a Northwestern student who's very enthusiastic about this project. When finished, he will come back to the Board with a complete report. He has even spoken to a "green" developer. c. Bill Archer. Mr. Archer is a long -time Morton Grove resident and a member of the Morton Grove Days Committee. He wanted to give the Board an update on the status of Morton Grove Days. Mr. Archer said that the tradition of Morton Grove Days began about 75 years ago. It's a volunteer -based community event under the umbrella of the Morton Grove Park District. However, the Park District has been steadily backing away from the Committee over the past seven months. Park District staff has been directed to "stay away' from the Committee. The Park Board is not being cooperative. Mr. Archer said it appears that the Park Board has unilaterally decided to "reshape' the festival into an event of their liking. Communication from the Park Board has been irregular and intermittent. The Committee needs the Park Board's full cooperation; they need to know, at a minimum, what the Park District will or won't do. Meanwhile, the Committee is investigating all options, including aligning with other elements of the Village. They're also looking into a 5013(c) type of charter. The Park Board President indicated that the Committee could very well find itself denied the use of Harrer Park for the fireworks and carnival, and funding. Mr. Archer said that time is of the essence; contracts and agreements need to be sent out and a lot has to be accomplished. He noted that, several years ago, the Village stepped up and assumed contractual responsibil- ity with the carnival operator. He asked, in light of the Park Board's lack of cooperation, if the Village Board would consider enhancing its involvement if the Park Board continues its current course. There is a meeting at Prairie View on March 4th that is critical to this year's festival. He asked that everyone get involved and volunteer to participate in the Morton Grove Days event. Mayor Staackmann said that the Village had sent an outline of an understanding between the Park Board and the Village to the Park Board in August. It responded to some of the Park Board's concerns about Morton Grove Days. The Village was proposing that a new organiza- tion be formed for the festival, with the support of the Village and the Park District, The Village has never received a response. Mr. Archer said that's typical of the communication with the Park Board, Mayor Staackmann asked how long the Committee can go without answers. Mr. Archer said it should be now, in order to get bands for the parade, etc. He hoped to have answers on March 4`h. Otherwise, the Committee is really "behind the eight ball ". He said he doesn't understand the reason for this lack of communication. Mayor Staackmann said the Village has already had some discussions with the carnival operator. Mr. Wade added that they are "ready to go ". 11 XI!l. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued) Trustee Thill asked if there would realistically be a parade, what with Dempster Street construction going on. Mr. Archer said the Committee has already worked out an alternate route (down Lincoln and north on Austin) and they have a parade chairperson. Trustee Thill asked if public support would be helpful. Mr. Archer said it was imperative for the public to let the Park Commissioners know how they feel about this event. And they should show up at the meeting on March 4th. The Committee can still pull off a wonderful event... but they have to get going now! Trustee Thill said that it's a highlight of the summer for most people. Mr. Archer said that it's a "signature" community event. d. Hope Kornstein. Ms. Kornstein commended the Village's efforts to maintain senior services. She asked if the proposals the Village has received include the lunch program. Mr. Wade said that they did. It could be the current program or an alternative. The plan is to maintain a hot lunch program. Ms. Kornstein asked about the building being fully maintained. She wondered what the financial difference would be between building maintenance and paying for the services. Mr. Wade said they are two separate cost areas. The senior services would be provided to the Village for free. Building maintenance, utility costs, etc. are about $30,000- $50,000 annually. If other items such as landscaping and snow plowing are including, it could be as high as $75,000 — $100,000. Trustee Marcus reiterated that the senior services would be provided free of charge. The Village would continue to pay for the building maintenance and utilities. XIV. ADJOURNMENT /EXECUTIVE SESSION There being no further business, Trustee Thill moved to adjourn the meeting.

FOR THE DEMPSTER STREET WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS Introduced synopsis: Purpose: Background Programs, Depts or Groups Affected Fiscal Impact: Source of Funds: Workload Impact: Administrator Recommendation: First Reading: Special Consider of Requirements: ✓larch 8,20 10 fo authorize the Village President to execute Change Order No. 2 with Di Meo Brothers. Inc . for the )empster Street Water Main Improvements. ro replace 15 water valves at various side streets along Dempster Street between Callie Avenue and Central Vvenue as part of the Dempster Street Water Main improvements. Fire Dempster Street Water Main Improvements were designed with the purpose of replacing an aged water main under Dempster Street. There are incidental improvements to the adjacent parts of the water main, like replacing building service lines and fire hydrants, that were also included in the project. However, there are incidental improvements which could have been included that were not because of limited 'financial resources for the project; a higher cost for the incidental work; and an undetermined level of need for replacement(s). Replacing water valves connected to the Dempster Street water main are such incidental elements not included in this project. Public Works staff exercised the existing water valves on the intersecting streets between Lincoln and Callie to confirm an efficient isolation of the water main could be achieved when these intersecting street water mains are connected to the new water main. Three out of four valves exercised had unacceptable leaks. There are fifteen other valves on the intersecting streets and staff expects to find a similar proportion of leaking valves. Staff evaluated the options to isolate the water main. The water main could be isolated by closing the next furthest water valve, but doing so would increase the number of properties to be inconvenienced by a shutdown. A long -term solution is to replace the 19 valves. The awarded amount for the project was $490,080 below the amount of available funding. Staff has been mindful of the funding challenges for this project and has worked to reduce the cost of the project while still designing a complete improvement. Staff now believes adding valve replacement for the intersecting street connections would be a pertinent and valuable addition to the project. Resolution 10 -03 authorized the Village Administrator, Director of Public Works and Village Engineer to approve change orders in the amount of $136,792.00 (10% of contract amount). However, staff considers this work to be elective and defers to the Village Board to decide if this extra work should be included in this project. Change Order No. I to the Contract for Dempster' Street Water Main Improvements in the amount of $22,680.00 included replacing the four valves between Lincoln and Callie. The proposed Change Order No. 2 includes replacing the remaining 15 valves between Callie and Central. Change Order No. 2 is for an additional $107,050.00. it will be necessary to extend the time to complete the project with increased work, but the additional time has not yet been agreed upon. This resolution authorizes the Village Engineer to negotiate a fair and equitable amount of time to complete the additional work included and incorporate that time into the executed Change Order No. 2 Public Works, Engineering Division The estimated value of the Change Order is $107,050.00. The adjusted Contract amount is $1,497,650.00. 'Fire net addition to the Contract for all Change Orders is $129,730.00.

Background The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed a request to establish parking restrictions on Narragansett Ave. between Henning Ct. and Dempster Street as well as Henning Ct. between Narragansett Ave. and Ferris Ave. to discourage on- street parking by train commuters. The matter was first discussed by the Traffic Safety Commission at their December 3, 2009, meeting. Their recommendation was reviewed by the Village Board at a meeting on January 11, 2010, along with a dissenting recommendation by Village staff. The Village Board requested the matter be remanded back to the Traffic Safety Commission to reconsider the matter. The Traffic Safety Commission reconsidered the matter at their February 4, 2010, meeting and again at a Special Meeting on February 18, 2010, and recommends the Village restrict parking on the south side of Henning Ct. between Narragansett Ave. and Ferris Ave. be designating this area as a special permit parking zone. They further recommended the Administration determine whether it Should require a Zone 5 or Zone 11 special parking permit. Staff supports the recommendation and further recommends the restriction matches the Zone 5 special permit parking restrictions existing on the abutting east side of Ferris Avenue. Currently, the Municipal Code includes parking restrictions on this segment of Henning Ct. that will need to be deleted and replaced with the new parking restrictions if adopted by the Board. This ordinance has been substantially amended based on the revised recommendation of the Traffic Safety Commission at their meeting held on February 18, 2010, from the Ordinance originally submitted to the Village Board on January 11, 2010.
