PRESIDENT'S REPORT (continued)
2. Mayor Staackmann asked Community Relations liaison Larry Gomberg to join him at the
podium for the next item on the Agenda. Mayor Staackmann said this is an extraordinary
opportunity for the Village of Morton Grove. He stated that people talk about armed forces
personnel doing great deeds to protect the freedoms we all enjoy, but it is an honor tonight to
recognize a civilian who gave of himself, overseas, to help make the world a better place, and
who, in the course of his actions, was seriously wounded. Mayor Staackmann proclaimed
May 24, 2010, as "Neil Daniel Day" in the Village to recognize the valor and sacrifice of Neil
Daniel, and with the appreciation of a grateful Village. Trustee Gomberg said the Village was
honored to present to Mr. Daniel a key to the Village. Mr. Daniel thanked everyone and said
he was honored. He said his goal was to keep serving this country.
3. On behalf of Mayor Staackmann in his capacity as Liquor Control Commissioner of the
Village, Trustee Marcus introduced for a first reading Ordinance 10-43, Amending Title 4,
Chapter 3, Sections 6, 10, and 14 Entitled "Liquor Control" of the Municipal Code
of the Village of Morton Grove.
He explained that this Ordinance will require all managers and sellers, preparers, and servers
of liquor licenses to attend a Basset training program or such other alcohol sales and training
program as approved in writing by the local Liquor Control Commissioner.
Trustee Thill asked for an explanation of Basset training. Police Chief Mark Erickson said that
the Illinois Liquor Commission and most insurance companies require this type of training. It's
a 4 -hour training course. The Police Department has trained several officers to perform this
type of training, or the course can be taken online. Chief Erickson said this program trains in
things such as ID card recognition, signs of over - serving, etc.
Trustee Grear asked if everyone who serves at the 4 t of July event would have to go through
this training. Corporation Counsel Liston said that, if this ordinance is passed in June, it goes
into effect immediately. Therefore the servers will have to go through this training. Chief
Erickson said the Police Department was ready to begin training right away.
4. Mayor Staackmann said that a potentially big fire in town had been brought under control
within minutes. He complimented the Fire Department on a great job.

STAFF REPORTS (continued)
Minutes of May 24,2010 Board Meeting
2. Mr. Wade stated that staff has worked for quite some time on a recommendation for a plan
for storm water flooding. The plan will be presented at the June 14, 2010 meeting for the
Board's consideration. Basically, there are three ways to deal with storm water management.
First would be a Village -wide effort, which is extremely expensive. Another way is to segment
off neighborhoods and do special service areas, but that, too, is expensive. Any funds
expended would be paid back through special property taxes, which would take possibly
20 -30 years. However, you could be in a special service area and be paying for this, even
if you do not have a flooding problem, so there's an equity issue with that. So a plan that
would provide direct benefit to those who actually need it is very difficult. The staff's recom-
mendation is a storm water management grant system, where the Village would provide
financial assistance for those seeking overhead sewers.
3. Mr. Wade said there would be a Special Board Meeting on June 12, 2010, to be held at the
Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Administration (NIPSTA) facility in Glenview. It
will include a tour and demonstration of current Morton Grove fire service capabilities and
operations, including ambulance calls and a live burn.
4. Mr. Wade announced that an informational meeting regarding the upcoming Dempster Street
construction would be held at 5.30 p.m. on June 2, 2010, at the American Legion Memorial
Civic Center. The meeting is oriented toward the businesses on Dempster, and will advise
them on what's coming up (i.e., removal of sidewalks, curbs, etc.) and how they can prepare
their businesses for this construction project.
4. Mr, Wade introduced Village Engineer Chris Tomich to give a presentation on the Chestnut
Street Interim Commuter Parking Lot.
a. Mr. Tomich said he was looking for feedback from the Board as to whether or not they were
satisfied with this proposed design and if the project should proceed to the bidding stage. It
could be ready for bidding in three weeks, if the Board gave direction to proceed. Staff is also
looking for feedback on the pavement and fee collection system.
b. Mr. Tomich explained that, in January of 2010, the Board had asked Village staff to develop
parking lot alternatives in the Metra station area. The Board would ultimately like to have a
parking structure that would accommodate 150 vehicles or more. Until that can be accom-
plished, there is a need for an interim parking lot at a lower cost. The directive for the design
was for reduced cost and a permeable pavement option for storm water concerns. The initial
conceptual design for this lot was priced at $533,000; this current plan is estimated at
$487,000. The lot would have 112 spaces and entrances on the east and west ends. The
Village would need to obtain a permit from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District before
proceeding. Coordination with Commonwealth Edison is also necessary because a utility pole
would need to be relocated. Ideally, if the Board decided to proceed, the project could be let
in mid -June, with construction beginning in early August and ending in early September.
c. Although the Board had expressed interest in a permeable pavement option, Mr. Tomich said
staff and the Village's engineering consultant (Ciorba Group) believe that brick pavers are
best suited as a permeable option for this type of interim parking lot. They are durable and
can be reused later. After considering this, the Village engineering division felt that the
Village's money would be better spent in using asphalt traditional pavement. Storm water
management would be handled through the use of detention and bioswales.
3
Ix
STAFF REPORTS (continued)
d. Bioswales are essentially excavated trenches or ditches. The clay soil is excavated because
the water can't get through the clay to the lower soil strata. The ditch is then filled in with
earthen material that has a lot of air pockets, which can subsequently hold water. The
permeable pavement would cost an extra $30,000; and bioswales would be used in addition
to the permeable pavement.
e. Mr. Tomich said the Appearance Commission recommended that this be considered an
"interim" improvement, and they would expect that the property would be redeveloped within
7 years. The parking lot would have lighting; Mr. Tomich suggested that the Village could
reuse some of the street lighting that will be coming off of Ferris Avenue. Those lights could
be reused again once the interim parking lot is redeveloped.
f. Mr. Tomich said there are three options for fee collection: an electronic system like the one at
the main Metra lot, a coin box system, or parking permits. If the Village decided to go with an
electronic system, they would need to purchase an additional machine like the one at the
main Metra lot. If the Village decided to go with the coin box system, it would mean that the
Police Department would have to collect the fees. If the Village decided to issue parking
permits, people would apply for a permit for a certain term and fee (to be determined by the
Board). Because this parking lot is being built on Village -owned property, the fee structure
would be totally under Village control.
Mayor Staackmann asked the Board to provide Mr. Tomich some direction.
g. Trustee DiMaria said he was satisfied with the project and design; he said he agreed with the
asphalt pavement recommendation; and as for the parking fee collection system, he did not
want to combine it with Metra; he felt that permits should be issued with first preference given
to Village residents.
h. Trustee Toth asked if the estimated cost of $487,000 was for using asphalt or the brick
pavers. Mr. Tomich said it was for the asphalt recommendation; brick pavers would cost
$30,000 more. Trustee Toth said she agreed with asphalt and liked Trustee DiMaria's idea of
permits with a priority for Morton Grove residents for the fee collection system. She said she
was excited about this and wanted the project to move forward.
i. Trustee Gomberg said he, too, was excited about this project. He was satisfied with the
project design and felt the construction should move forward. He agreed with the recommen-
dation of asphalt, and liked the permit idea, with Morton Grove residents being given priority.
j. Trustee Marcus said this is a project that ties in well with the redevelopment of the train
station area. It's the beginning of a number of projects the Village is working on. He agreed
that asphalt was the way to go, although he liked the look of brick pavers. The plan design
looks fine and the amount of parking spaces seems reasonable. As for the fee collection
system, Trustee Marcus said that he initially thought the Metra machine was the way to go,
but after hearing his colleagues, and depending on the costs, he would support the issuance
of parking permits. in general, fees will need to be reviewed and determined.
k. Trustee Thill was concerned about the safety of brick pavers, especially for women in high
heels. He felt asphalt was the better way to go. He was excited that the landscaping and
water management design would be using bioswales, and even more excited that native
plants would be used. He cautioned Mr. Tomich to ask Lurvey's to make sure the plantings
would not be attractive to deer. Trustee Thill felt that permits should be issued, and to Morton
Grove residents first, but on a lottery system. He asked Mr. DeMonte if the design of the

parking lot would hinder snow removal at all. Mr. DeMonte said he anticipated no problems.
Trustee Grear agreed with Mr. Tomich's recommendation regarding asphalt. He was glad
that TIF money would be spent to construct this parking lot. He felt that whatever was the
most efficient fee collection system is what should be used. Since the Village is uncertain as
to how long this parking lot will be in existence, he felt that spending on this should be kept at
a reasonable minimum. He asked Corporation Counsel if the Village could "legally" grant
Morton Grove residents first priority on this lot. She assured him the Village legally could.
m. Trustee Thill asked, regarding the 112 parking spots, if a business moved in, would they be
allowed to use any of those spots? Trustee DiMaria said that, ideally, the Village would like it
structured so that a business that may need parking during the evening hours would be using
those spots, when commuters aren't.
n. Mayor Staackmann said this is a great project, adding that he was glad the entire Village
could benefit from something being built using TIF dollars. He agreed that Morton Grove
residents should have first priority on the parking permits.
5. Mr. Wade then asked Finance Director Ryan Horne to present the quarterly financial status
report. He said this is a snapshot of where the Village is at today. Mr. Horne will also look at
the short-term and long -term financial health of the Village.
a. Mr. Horne said that General Fund "major" revenues (e.g., property taxes, state income tax,
sales tax, telecommunications taxes, etc.) were estimated at 82.6% in 2009 and at 80% in
2010. "Other sources of income" were budgeted at 17% last year and at 20% for 2010.
Mr Horne said retail sales tax was budgeted at $3,737,000 for 2010, a decrease of $263,000
from last year's budget. However, sales tax revenue increased 11.2% between January and
February of 2010, which Mr. Horne considers very positive. The last two times there was
an increase between January and February were in 2006 (a 6% increase) and 2007 (a 3%
increase). Home rule sales tax also shows an increase between January and February. He
noted that, in the last several years, there has always been a decrease between January and
February. He felt that the increase this year, though slight, was a positive indicator. State
income tax was also looking positive. Mayor Staackmann cautioned Mr. Horne that Springfield
is thinking about decreasing the amount of sales tax revenue the Village receives by 30 %.
Mr. Horne said this could cost the Village up to $500,000 in lost revenue.
b. As far as year -to -date expenses, the Village has spent about 1/3 of its budgeted expenses in
the first 1/3 of the year. He felt this was a very positive efficiency indicator.
C. Mr. Horne then talked about some upcoming financial challenges the Village will be facing.
According to the latest actuarial report on the police and fire pension funds, the Village's
contribution for the 2011 Budget will have to increase by $341,000, which is a 10% increase.
In 2007, pension obligations combined were $2.9 million, or 32% of the Village's tax levy,
while operational costs were $4.7 million, or 55 %. Pension costs continue to increase, and
the burden falls on operating costs. Without a tax increase for 2011, operating costs will
shrink from $4.7 million in 2007 to $3.4 million in 2011. Trustee Thill asked about the pension
increase; was it due to stock market losses or what. Mr. Horne said the actuaries use a three -
year smoothing technique. He said the Village has been making its actuariay- recommended
pension contribution for the past several years, but is still falling behind. So pension costs are
a short-term, mid -term, and long -term challenge.

STAFF REPORTS (continued)
d. Another challenge can be found in the debt schedule. Over the next five years, four
installment notes will be paid off. For 2012, the Village will have a shortage in the debt fund.
However, by 2015, all but the 2010 bond issue will be paid off.
e. Remaining capital needs are still a challenge. The $10 million bond issue from earlier this
year takes care of some needs, but there are still at least $20 million dollars worth of capital
needs. Mr. Horne said he expected that that number would likely increase. He pointed out
that, in 2015, the Village would be able to do another bond issue to address these needs,
however.

g. In summary, the revenue trends look positive, although it's rather early to tell. Expenses are
on target, which is also positive. Pension costs remain a challenge. Bond payments will be a
mid -term challenge. OPEB obligations are a mid- and long -term challenge.
h. Trustee Thill asked how the $10.5 million OPEB obligation was arrived at. Mr. Horne said it's
an actuarial calculation based on employee demographics and claims data.
Trustee Marcus thanked Mr. Horne for the very informative presentation, and said it was great
to have quarterly reports for planning purposes. The fact that the Village is on track with its
expenses shows that the decisions the Board made when planning the Budget were the right
ones. He said he was very pleased that the Village's debt service will be positive in 2015.
j. Mr. Horne thanked all the department heads for managing their expenses so well.

2. Trustee Gomberg recognized Val Norona from East -West Financial Group, the Chamber of
Commerce's "member of the month" for May. He said the Chamber is rated A +, the highest
rating achievable by the Better Business Bureau. He said he hoped to recognize other
Chamber "members of the month" in the future.
C. Trustee Grear:
1. Trustee Grear presented Resolution 10 -39, Authorization to Purchase a New 2011 Type I
Medium Duty Advanced Life Support Ambulance..
Trustee Grear explained that the Village has recognized a need for a new ambulance since
2008; however, the purchase was deferred year after year due to lack of funds. In January
2010, the Board authorized the public sale of General Obligation Bonds to fund capital im-
provements in the Village, including the purchase of an ambulance to replace ambulance #4.
The Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) had previously negotiated a group purchasing
contract through a competitive bidding process. The bidding process identified a primary
vendor and an alternate vendor. The alternate vendor, Foster Coach, Inc. of Sterling, IL, can
manufacture a product which meets the specifications established by the Morton Grove Fire
Department's Ambulance Committee. The base bid for the Foster Coach ambulance is ap-
proximately $20,000 less than the base bid of the NWMC's primary vendor. The Ambulance
Committee also requested specification enhancements to apparatus access, lighting, and
safety. These enhancements are included in the ambulance's cost of $229,479.

3. Trustee Marcus announced that there would be a special reception on Wednesday, May 26,
at the Senior Center at 1:30 p.m. Mary Futrell from the North Shore Senior Center will be on
hand to listen to suggestions for new programs. Trustee Marcus urged everyone to join the

Trustee Gomberg wanted to clarify and correct some conflicting statements regarding
Resolutions 10 -40, 10 -41, and 10 -42. The contract amounts for each of these resolutions
will be paid out of TIF Funds, and therefore not costing "the residents" money.
XI I. WARRANTS
Trustee Gomberg presented
the Warrant Register
for May 24,
2010 in the amount of
$1,172,354.73. He moved to
accept the Warrants,
seconded
by Trustee Thill.
Trustee Thill had two questions:
a. He noted that the Village paid for eight or nine right -of -ways on Dempster Street, ranging
from under $1,000 to over $20,000. He wondered why there was such a disparity in price.
Mr. Tomich said the Village bought seven parcels. Its policy is to pay for the value of the land
and for the reduction in the property, and the cost to relocate any assets within that parcel.
He said it's a normal part of any right -of -way transaction. These parcels will be used for traffic
signal equipment.
b. Trustee Marcus asked if the cost was based on assessed value. Mr. TOmich said the Village
followed the State's process: a professional appraiser is used; the appraisal is review by a
professional reviewer; and then a settlement is negotiated with the homeowner. The highest
cost was $24,500, and that was the appraised value of the land.

XII.
WARRANTS (continued)
C. Trustee Thill asked about a check for $6,400 payable to Cityscapes Property for "refund
parking lot deposit ". Mr. Horne said it was pursuant to a 2006 agreement with a business
owner along Dempster Street for angled parking on the side street adjacent to their business.
They had given the Village a deposit of $12,800, and the Village refunded half once the
construction was complete.
d. Trustee Grear asked about a check on page 14, payable to Patent Industries for "PW
transmission repair" in the amount of $10,877. He wondered how many transmissions were
repaired for this amount. Mr. DeMonte said it was only one vehicle. But to replace the vehicle
with a new one would have cost the Village between $280,000 — $300,000. Trustee Grear said
before he was a trustee, he couldn't imagine a transmission costing over $10,000. He felt it
was important for the public to realize that these are the types of things the Village needs to
do and purchase. He said he had fielded questions and complaints from residents the other
day, mostly about the vehicle sticker price and the garbage fee. He said that he himself didn't
want to implement those changes, but being in the position of Trustee, he now realizes that
the Village had to do these things to get closer to a balanced budget. Trustee Grear said the
decisions were tough, but they were made for the betterment of Morton Grove. He hoped that
a time would come when those fees could be reduced, stating that he would certainly vote for
that. But the Board has to pay attention to the future of the Village.
e. Trustee DiMaria reminded the assemblage that the Board took "a lot of heat" over the creation
of the Lehigh /Ferris TIF District, which is now an unqualified success. He agreed with Trustee
Grear that the decisions the Board makes today won't just affect the Village for the next
month or year .... they can have an impact over the next 10, 25, or 50 years.

This resolution will authorize the implementation of a residential cost sharing program
dealing with the installation of overhead sewers or flood control devices.
The purpose of this program is to financially assist residents with the installation of
approved flood control devices in -order to eliminate sanitary sewer back -ups in their
homes which occur during heavy rain events and /or sewer blockages.
Homes constructed prior to the early 1960's were installed with gravity sewer systems
which make their basements more susceptible to flooding from sanitary sewer backups
especially during sever rain falls (as experienced during the past several years.) The
Village of Morton Grove's Public Works Department strives to provide safe, reliable and
effective utility services though it's practice of regularly maintaining, repairing and
upgrading its infrastructure which reduces the number and degree of sewer back -up
incidents. It is impossible for the Village to eliminate such back -ups altogether due to age
of the system; however, the current level of technology, and the limitations of fiscal
resources still makes it difficult. Staff therefore recommends the implementation of this
program in -order to assist single family residential homeowners with the installation of
approved flood control devices

Assistance Program
Introduction
Homes constructed prior to the early nineteen - sixties were installed with gravity sewer systems
that make their basements more susceptible to flooding from sanitary sewer backups; especially
during heavy and extended rain falls.
During intense rains, at times the capacity of the sanitary sewer system is not adequate to carry
the peak flow, resulting in pressurized sewers. When pressurized, sewage can backflow through
house sewers into basements if there is no backflow prevention device.
The Overhead Sewer and flood Control Device Assistance Program was authorized to provide
assistance to homeowners by providing interest free loans to revise the house plumbing so
sewage cannot backflow into the house when the combined sewer is pressurized. There are three
basic options available to the homeowner as listed below:
1) Modification of the soil stack to direct the flow out of the house in a new OVERHEAD
SEWER and elimination of all gravity drainage below the basement floor slab.
2) Installation of an interior or exterior BACKFLOW PREVENTION VALVE and bypass
pump on the house lateral in an underground vault.
3) LIFT STATION system within an inside or outside underground vault.
Each approach has different costs and degrees of homeowner disruption, as well as different
implications on the homeowner's use of the revised plumbing.
It should be noted; however, that option one (1) above, the installation of a new overhead
sewer, is strongly recommended to provide the greatest protection available under all
weather conditions and storm events to prevent sewage from entering the home.
This program does not include updating or enhancements to current systems, however, our
Public Works Department will inspect your current system for free. If you have an old system
and choose to replace the entire system then this program will help cover these costs.
Goals and Objectives
This program has several goals. The primary goals are to provide protection from the back up of
sewage into basements, increase property values by eliminating detrimental basement back up,
eliminate unsafe sanitary conditions, and to save substantial taxpayer dollars in the long term.
Requirements
Residential properties in Morton Grove's corporate limits constructed prior to 1965, when
building codes were revised and required overhead plumbing, are eligible for the Overhead
Sewer and Flood Control Device Program,
1. The Overhead Sewer and Flood Control. Device Program is limited to conversion
of sanitary sewer gravity systems.
2. Eligibility for the Overhead Sewer and Flood Control Device Program will be
contingent upon the perimeter footing drains, driveway drains, outside stairwell
drains, downspouts and any other ground water source not being connected to the
sanitary sewer system.
3. For properties that currently have perimeter footing drains, driveway drains,
outside stairwell drains, downspouts and any other ground water source being
directly discharged (i.e. connected) into the sanitary sewer system, the property
owner must submit confirmation that the above footing drains, driveway drains,
outside stairwell drains, downspouts and any other ground water source shall be
disconnected from the sanitary sewer system per Title 7, 7 -54A of the Municipal
Code and the installation of a separate storm sewer system (i.e. Sump Pit and
Pump) to handle these extraneous flows has been included as part of the proposed
work.
4. The individual seeking participation in the Overhead Sewer and Flood Control
Device Assistance Program and seeking Village reimbursement must establish
they are the owner of the property of the proposed modification of their plumbing
system. Participation in and reimbursement through this Overhead Sewer and
Flood Control Device Assistance Program is limited to one time only per address.
5. The property owner must complete and submit an Overhead Sewer and flood
control device Program Application Form. A representative from the Village will
perform an on -site inspection to determine if the property is eligible for this
program. When a property is approved for the Overhead Sewer and Flood
Control Device Assistance Program in writing by the Village, the property owner
will have 90 days to complete the project. The 90 days time frame commences
with the Village letter acknowledging that this sewer work is eligible to
participate in the program.
6. The property owner shall obtain three written detailed estimates from three (3)
Illinois licensed contractors that have not been barred doing business in Morton
Grove. The property owner shall submit a copy of the 3 estimates to Public
Works at the time the building permits are applied for.
7. The property owner shall contract with the plumbing firm for the overhead sewer
or flood control device and obtain all required Village permits. All plumbing
work must be performed by a licensed plumber. All work must conform to the
Village Building Codes and related sections of the Morton Grove Municipal
Code,
8. The program is on a first come, first serve basis and applications received will be
prioritized and authorized on availability of the Village funding.
9. The Village reserves the right to alter, postpone or cancel program from year to
year as funding is dependent on budgetary and financial constraints of the Village.
Loan Requirements
1. Loans from the Village for properties that pre - qualified for the Overhead Sewer
and Flood Control Device Assistance Program will be processed only upon
completion of all work.
2. Loans made by the Village will be limited to 50% of the actual contractual
construction cost, up to a maximum of $2,500. If the property owner selects a
plumbing firm other than the lowest estimates, then the Village's contribution will
be limited to 50% of the lowest bid amount, up to a maximum of $2,500. The
property owner shall sign a promissory note and mortgage for all amounts
borrowed. The note and mortgage shall provide that the loan shall not bear
interest unless the property owner fails to repay the loan when due. The loan shall
be due upon the sale of the property or the ten (10) year anniversary of the
execution of the loan documents.
3. The property owner must submit to Public Works verification of all required
inspections and final approval of the completed improvements by the Village's
Building Department; a copy of the licensed plumber's as- built, signed and dated;
(with plumber's state license #) and proof of payment, in the form of paid recite
and contractors waiver of lien.
4. Village shall make payments to applicants only, not to contractors or suppliers.

Resolution 1044
Introduced: June 14, 2010
Synopsis: To authorize the Village Engineer to execute the attached change order extending the contract
termination date of the task order contract with Ciorba Group, Inc. to June 30, 2011, as well as to
update the hourly salary rates and direct cost rates for the time period from July 1, 2010 to June 30,
2011.
Purpose: To make available to the Village a consulting engineering company to supplement existing
engineering staff during peak periods of work and /or to perform specialized services.
Background: Municipal Code Title 1, Chapter 9, Article A Section 6, Paragraph D includes requirements for
purchasing procedures for professional engineering services, which encourages requesting
proposals from capable professionals whenever time and circumstances warrant. A formal
process to solicit and evaluate proposals and negotiate a contract would require approximately
two months. A two -month delay in the schedule for projects being developed would not meet
the Village's schedule to have the project ready to bid and would jeopardize the ability of
Village staff to reliably manage and implement on -going projects and programs. Resolution
05 -35 authorized executing a Task Order Contract with the firm Ciorba Group, Inc. for
consulting engineering services that will expire on June 30, 2010. Ciorba Group, Inc.
performed satisfactorily for the Village in the past. Village staff recommends to the Village
Board to extend the contract with Ciorba Group, Inc. based on their ability to perform the
work, institutional knowledge of the Village's infrastructure and value. The schedule of
hourly rates and direct costs needs to be updated to reflect Ciorba Group's current fees. This
revision has been incorporated into the recommended change order.
