SPECIAL REPORTS NONE Minutes of March 8, 2010'. Board Meeting. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS NONE VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) NONE VII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT Mayor Staackmann proclaimed March 27, 2010, as "Lights Out America —Earth Hour" in Morton Grove. He said that Earth Hour is an initiative to turn of the lights in cities around the world for one hour, starting at 8:30 p.m. local time on March 27`h. This will help demonstrate that, working together, each of us can make a positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions and the world's climate. Mayor Staackmann encouraged all residents and businesses to participate, on a voluntary basis, in Earth Hour by turning off all non - essential lighting from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on March 27`h Mayor Staackmann said that Thursday night is the "Taste ", and that he would defer his comments to Corporation Counsel Liston, who is very involved with this event. VIII. CLERK'S REPORT Clerk Kalogerakos presented Ordinance 10 -06, Amending Title 1, Chapter 5, Section 8 of the Municipal Code to Modify the Meeting Agenda. This is the second reading of this Ordinance. Clerk Kalogerakos 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 consent agenda. Trustee Thill said he wanted the public to know that all this Ordinance would do is put "mundane" items under one umbrella, so the Board could take just one vote. He said he felt that everything the Board passes, however, should be discussed in public, or at least be given the opportunity to be discussed in public. Mayor Staackmann commented that every item brought before the Board is discussed and is available for public review. Having a consent agenda would in no way hinder public access or public discussion. The consent agenda would only serve to expedite the Board meetings. Trustee DiMaria moved to approve Ordinance failed: 0 ayes, 5 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria nay Tr. Gomberg Tr. Marcus absent Tr. Thill 10 -06, seconded by Trustee Thill. Motion nay Tr. Grear nav nav Tr. Toth nay IX. STAFF REPORTS A. Village Administrator Dempster Street Status Report a. Mr. Wade said that the Board tonight will be voting on the first of "hopefully few" change orders for Dempster Street, and that this is the first monthly Dempster Street status report. He asked Public Works Director Andy DeMonte to update the Board and the assemblage about this $12 million project. Mr. DeMonte said his first piece of advice is to "stay off of Dempster." He said the contractor started at Lincoln & Dempster, connected to the 10" and 6" valve there, and is now at Ferris Avenue. This is Phase 1. They will be going as far east as Austin Avenue. Along the way they will be installing the new 12" water main down the center of Dempster, connecting hydrants that need to be connected, connecting individual side streets to the 12" main, and connecting valves. The valves will stay closed until they can be pressurized, chlorinated, and tested be- fore being opened back up. Mr. DeMonte said that, somewhere along the line, the contractor will have to go back and connect individual services. That is another thing can't be done until after pressurizing, chlorinating, and testing. He said he was not sure if the contractor will go to Austin and then come back, or if they'll have another crew follow the first after they go a couple of blocks. He said he's having a meeting with the contractor next week in their trailer. The meeting is staff only, as there is not really enough room in the trailer for members of the public. Mr. DeMonte said if anyone needs any information, they should call him. Trustee Thill asked if "no parking" signs had been posted on Dempster. Mr. DeMonte said they had been, up to Austin. He said he would estimate that the project is about 5% completed at this point. He said that he hasn't received a lot of complaints. The few that came in were about letting traffic flow to the businesses at Ferris and Dempster and Lincoln & Dempster. Mr. DeMonte added that some night work may happen, especially at McDonald's, which is open 24 hours. They will have to be shut down at some point, and the Village has communicated that with McDonalds' management. On another topic, Mr. DeMonte noted that the north water tower painting project will begin on Monday, March 15. B. Corporation Counsel: Ms. Liston said the Morton Grove Foundation's "Taste" event is this Thursday. She looked over the assemblage and commented that pretty much everyone in attendance is either a volunteer or a participant or a reporter (who will cover the event favorably). She thanked everyone on behalf of the Taste committee, saying that the Taste is a wonderful community event, entirely put together by volunteers. The event to date has raised over $450,000. It's money from Morton Grove residents that goes back to needy people in the Village or in the area. There is no paid staff; sponsors donate; restaurants donate; the firefighters have some fabulous raffles; and the volunteers not only work the event, they also buy raffle tickets. Ms. Liston reiterated her thanks to all. X. A. 91 TRUSTEES'REPORTS Trustee DiMaria: Minutes of Mamh 8, 2010. Hoard Meeting 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 Gombepa Trustee Gomberg presented for a first reading Ordinance 10 -08, Amending Title 51 Chapter 3, Section 3 of the Village of Morton Grove Municipal Code Entitled "License Fees." He explained that, as part of the 2010 budget process, the Board had recommended various vehicle license fees be raised. Specifically, raising the basic motor vehicle license fee from $30 to $55, the discounted vehicle fee for seniors over the age of 65 to $25, the fee for an- tique motor vehicles (over 25 years old) to $40, and increasing the license fee for larger trucks as well. Trustee Gomberg said that these increases will provide the Village an estimated $433,255 in revenue. He said that, since vehicle license mailings will be going out around March 15, 2010, the Finance Department has requested that this ordinance be passed tonight. Trustee Gom- berg therefore moved to waive the second reading of Ordinance 10 -08, Trustee DiMaria seconded the motion. Motion passed: 4 ayes, 1 nay, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg aye Tr. Grear nay Tr. Marcus absent Tr. Thill aye Tr. Toth aye Trustee Gomberg then moved to approve Ordinance 10 -08, seconded by Trustee Toth. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr.

TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) D. Trustee Marcus: In the absence of Trustee Marcus, Trustee Gomberg presented 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." This is the second reading of this ordinance. Trustee Gomberg 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. Trustee Gomberg moved, seconded by Trustee Grear, to approve Ordinance 10 -05. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg aye Tr. Grear aye Tr. Marcus absent Tr. Thill aye Tr. Toth aye Trustee Thill Trustee Thill presented Resolution 10 -19, Authorization to Execute Change Order No. 2 With De Meo Brothers, Inc., For the Dempster Street Water Main Improvements. Trustee Thill explained that the Village has a set contract for the water main work being done on Dempster. He said that, of the first four valves the contractor uncovered, three were leaking badly and were faulty. Rather than take chances on the remainder of the valves, the Village will replace all 19 valves, which will cost $107,000. Trustee Thill moved to approve Resolution 10 -19, seconded by Trustee Toth. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg aye Tr. Grear aye Tr. Marcus absent Tr. Thill aye Tr.

This is the second reading of this Ordinance, which was introduced at the Board Meeting on January 11, 2010, and subsequently remanded back to the Traffic Safety Commission. Trustee Thill noted that the Traffic Safety Commission considered this matter at their February 4, 2010 regular meeting and again at a special meeting on February 18th. They recommend that the Village restrict parking on the south side of Henning Ct. between Narragansett and Ferris and that said area require a Zone 5 or Zone 11 special parking permit, to be determined by the Village's administration. Minutes of March % 2010Board Meeting: X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) E. Trustee Thill: (cont'd.) Staff supports the recommendation and notes that Zone 5 special permit parking restrictions exist on the abutting east side of Ferris Avenue, so requiring Zone 5 special parking on the south side of Henning Ct. Is recommended. Trustee Thill moved to adopt Ordinance 10 -03, seconded by Trustee Toth. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria acre Tr. Gomberg acre Tr. Grear aye Tr. Marcus absent Tr. Thill aye Tr. Toth aye 3• Trustee Thill introduced for a first reading Ordinance 10 -07, Amending Title 5, Chapter 13, Article A -1, Entitled "Traffic Schedules" of the Municipal Code of the Village of Morton Grove. Trustee Thill explained that the Traffic Safety Commission heard and subsequently recommended approval of a request for stop signs at the intersection of Henning Ct. and Narragansett Avenue. The recommendation conforms to the provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code and Illinois Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 10 -07. F. Trustee Toth: Trustee Toth had no formal report, but reminded the assemblage that the Morton Grove Foundation would host its annual "Taste" event on March 11, 2010, at the White Eagle, 6845 Milwaukee Avenue, in Niles, Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are $30 in advance and $40 at the door.

Detailed information and essay forms for submissions can be obtained at Village Hall, the Library, the Civic Center, and Prairie View Center. XI. OTHER BUSINESS NONE XII. WARRANTS Trustee Gomberg presented the Warrant Register for March 8, 2010 in the amount of $395,229.54. He moved to accept the Warrants, seconded by Trustee Toth. Minutes of March 8, 2010 Board Meeting. XII. WARRANTS (continued) Trustee Thill had several questions: a. On page 4, there are several checks payable to Commonwealth Edison; two are for $300. He noted that these were payments made on behalf of residents who couldn't afford to pay their electric bill. He wondered if these were bills for a single month of service or if they were cumulative. Finance Director Ryan Horne answered that they were cumulative. b. Also on page 4, Trustee Thill wondered about a check payable to CVS Corporation for $10,800. He knew it was for the Village's revenue - sharing agreement with them, and wondered if this was the last payment. Mr. Horne said it is not the last payment; the agreement calls for the Village to pay CVS either $250,000 or for 14 years, whichever comes first. To date, the Village has paid them approximately $120,000. There is about 5 more years left on the agreement. c. On page 6, Trustee Thill asked about a $2,000 charge for sulphuric acid chlorine color meter, and wondered why it was being purchased. Mr. DeMonte said it's part of a chemical Public Works uses in an automatic chlorinator device that reads chlorine residual daily. This is a year's supply of the chemical for three units; the color meter is part of one of these devices. d. Trustee Thill wondered about a charge to High Tech Auto Glass, Inc. to replace a rear window in a squad car. Chief Erickson said this was because of a broken defroster embedded in the rear window's glass so the glass had to be replaced. e. Trustee Thill inquired about a charge on page 7 to Valley Safety Inc. for "gas mask fit." Chief Erickson said this is something mandated by the State. The Police Department needs to have those masks tested and fitted once a year. He said they are currently working with Chief Friel to have the Fire Department do the testing and fitting in order to eliminate that expense. f. Also on page 7, Trustee Thill wondered if a payment of $2,600 to International Piping HVAC was for maintenance. Building Commissioner Ed Hildebrandt responded that a portion of it is for maintenance, but approximately $834 is for service repairs not covered by the contract. g. Trustee Thill inquired about an $845 charge to Premier Bus Lines. He wondered if that was for a senior trip and if the seniors pay for it. Mr. Horne said that the seniors do pay for it. There was no further discussion on the Warrants. Upon the vote, the motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria ave Tr. Gomberg aye Tr. Grear ave Tr. Marcus absent Tr. Thill ave Tr. Toth ave XIII. a. Barbara Novick. Ms. Novick said she is a 25 -year resident of the Village, currently living in the Woodlands, and is a member of the Village's Advisory Commission on Aging. She had questions about a senior event on March 12`h being sponsored by American Legion Post #134. In their newsletter, they promote the event and say that the funds will go to the Commission on Aging. As a member of that Commission, Ms. Novick said she had not seen anything in writing about this until she was given the Legion's newsletter with this article in it. She pointed out that the Commission does not have a bank account and depends on the Village to handle whatever expenses it incurs. She wondered if it was even permissible to give money to a Village Commission. Minutes of March 8, 2010 Board Meeting XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (continued) Ms. Novick said her understanding is that payments are to be made to the American Legion, which will then turn the money raised over to the Commission. She was considered because the Commission is not designed to handle money. She wondered if the Village or the Com- mission on Aging should be involved in this, and wondered if there were any administrative costs or fees incurred by the Legion that will be passed along. Mayor Staackmann said that he, too, was confused. He said the Village and the Legion Post #134 have an agreement for three members from the Legion and three members from the Village Board to meet periodically to discuss issues pertinent to either group. That group convened on February 9`h and the Village asked similar questions, but could not get any answers or direction about this fundraiser from the Commander. Mayor Staackmann said that he's been getting calls seeking information about this but does not have information. On February 25th, the Legion Board met. The chairperson of the Commission on Aging is also the President of the Legion's Auxiliary, and she doesn't have any information either. He agreed that the Commission on Aging is not set up to take in money. Mayor Staackmann said this is a very noble effort of the Legion, but as of right now, no one from the Legion has approached either himself or Family & Senior Services Director Jackie Walker- O'Keefe to discuss how this will work. b. Eric Poders. Mr. Poders said that he has a meeting in Sena Jan Schakowsky's office tomorrow. This is "appropriations" time and he is going to ask for funds for the senior center services for 2011. He is also going to talk about Comcast and their service issues. They basically have a monopoly in the Village. Mr. Poders said it was his understanding that AT &T U -verse has stopped production. He is going to try to get discounts for seniors on cable services. He said he would also talk about this with the Commission on Aging at its meeting tomorrow. Trustee DiMaria said that he believed U -verse was still being offered in various sections of town. It's not everywhere in the Village yet, but it's still being rolled out. He added that he was going to get it himself XIV. ADJOURNMENT /EXECUTIVE SESSION There being no further business, Trustee Thill moved to adjourn the meeting. Trustee Toth seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously via voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 7:39 p.m. PASSED this 22nd day of March, 2010, Trustee DiMaria Trustee Gomberg Trustee Grear Trustee Marcus Trustee Thill Trustee Toth APPROVED by me this 22nd day of March, 2010.

Kalogerakos, Village Clerk Village of Morton Grove, Cook County, Illinois Minutes of March 8, 2010 Board Meeting` Minutes by Teresa Censer Resolution 10 -25 AUTHORIZING AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE AND HARLEM DEMPSTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (HDLP) Introduced: March 22, 2010 Synopsis: An economic development agreement is proposed with Lonore Plaza Shopping Center to return a portion of the sales tax revenues generated from the new business with the shopping center. Purpose: The owner of Lonore Plaza Shopping Center has approached the Village with a request to provide financial assistance to attract a new retail tenant. This shopping center has suffered from a nearly 50% vacancy rate since it's anchor tenant left more than twelve months ago. Dollar General would like to locate in this modern shopping center. The maximum rent they can offer to pay is below the minimum rent the owner can accept without compromising the terns of the commercial mortgage. For more than one year, this space has been vacant. This vacancy has hurt the other businesses in the shopping center. The Village has collected no sales tax revenue from this vacant space for more than one year. An economic development agreement is proposed to return a portion of the sales tax revenues generated from the new business to the landlord to offset below market rent from this tenant. This creates a net return from the tenant space that is consistent with the expectations of the commercial lender that holds the mortgage on the property. The Village would retain 50% of new sales tax revenue from the new business. The owner has agreed to make improvements to the site to increase its attractiveness and leas ability. The agreement contains `clawbacks' and other safeguards to protect the Village's interest in the event that the new business is not successful. Background: The current economic climate has placed extreme pressure on many commercial properties. Retail businesses are hesitant to open new locations while property owners with many vacancies struggle to remain in good standing with their commercial mortgages. Programs, Departs Oversight will be provided by the Finance Department as part of their normal duties. or Groups Affected: Fiscal Impact: This agreement would allow the vacant space to be leased, resulting in approximately $13,000 of new sales tax revenue each year. Source of Funds: N/A Workload Impact: The Finance Department will perform the management and implementation of this program as part of their normal work activities. Admin Recommend: j Approval as presented. Second Reading: ( Not required Special Considerations None or Requirements: Respectfully submitted. Joseph F.

The Traffic Safety Commission reviewed a request to amend 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. As part of staff research into this request, staff discovered the Municipal Code includes a 90- minute parking restriction between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm on the west side Narragansett Ave. between Henning and Dempster, but there was no signage to make the restriction enforceable. Staff discussed with the petitioner, as an interim solution to evaluate the effect on commuter parking, adding the signage for the restriction on Narragansett Ave. That was acceptable to the petitioner and the signage was added. However, the businesses were unaware of the restriction ever being signed and were displeased with the effect on the operation of their businesses. 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 1 I, 2010, along with a dissenting recommendation by Village staff. The Village Board the remanded the matter back to the Traffic Safety Commission. The Traffic Safety Commission reconsidered the matter at their February 4, 2010, meeting and again at a Special Meeting on February 18, 2010. The petitioner and the Traffic Safety Commission acknowledged it was not the original intention to include parking restrictions within the business district and so changes to parking restrictions on Narragansett Ave. were discontinued. The Police Chief then issued a memorandum dated February 1, 2010, with the approval of the Village Engineer as specified in the Municipal Code Section 5 -1 -4 to make temporary (traffic) regulations to cover special conditions for not more than 90 days. The Village then received a petition dated February 22, 2010, with six signatures from three addresses on Narragansett Ave. requesting the Village remove the parking restrictions and associated signage on the west side of the 8700 block of Narragansett. Staff therefore advises reverting back to the no parking signed parking restrictions will not discourage commuter parking, but does not either condone or oppose the request.
