CLERK'S REPORT Clerk Kalogerakos had no formal report. IX. STAFF REPORTS A. Village Administrator Motion passed: aye 1. Mr. Wade said that representatives of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) were present tonight to talk about how Morton Grove's sewer system works and fits in with the larger Cook County system. The District is responsible for all of Cook County's sanitary sewage treatment and the drainage of storm water. Over time, they've made improvements that have greatly enhanced the system's capacity for storm water in a very built -up area. a. Ms. Manju Sharma, the Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations, introduced herself and the other MWRD staff members in attendance this evening. She reiterated that the MWRD treats waste water and manages storm water. She said the way they do this is, waste water from a home or business travels through a six- to eight -inch pipe (a lateral sewer) to the local sewer in the street. The lateral sewer is owned and maintained by the homeowner or business owner. The local sewer in the street is typically one -foot to three -feet in diameter and is owned and maintained by the community. The waste water then travels to an intercepting sewer, typically five- to seven -feet in diameter, which is owned and maintained by the MWRD. From there, the water goes to one of the seven MWRD treatment plants. The Morton Grove area is served by the North Side Treatment Plan, The MWRD owns and operates 554 miles of intercepting sewers, and there are 10,000 to 15,000 miles of local sewers, owned and main- tained by a variety of municipalities. b. Ms. Sharma said there are two types of sewer areas in the metropolitan Chicago area: separate sewer areas and combined sewer areas. E Minutes.ofSs Mber27,..2Q1, 0Baard Mg4tiq IX. STAFF REPORTS (continued) c. Ms. Sharma said that, in the separate sewer areas, the only water that should be flowing through is the waste water from homes and businesses, but that's usually not the case, due to "I and I" (infiltration and inflow). She said that, as sewers age, they develop cracks; ground water seeps in; illegal connections get connected into them, etc. The MWRD estimates that they spend approximately $20 to $25 million annually to treat "I and I ". d. In a combined sewer area, the waste water from homes and businesses is combined with the runoff from rooftops, parking lots, and streets, and is mixed into the local sewer system and goes into the District's interceptors. In situations of heavy rain, the interceptor sewers can overflow into the TARP (Tunnel and Reservoir Plan) System, or "Deep Tunnel." Ms. Sharma said that 109 miles of Deep Tunnel have been built, storing 2.5 billion gallons of water. In particularly severe rainstorms, if the Deep Tunnel is full, it can flow into one of four waterways. There are four "legs" of the Deep Tunnel: the O'Hare reservoir (343,000 gallons of storage), the Central Area reservoir, the Thornton system in the south, and the McCook system. The Thornton and McCook reservoirs are still under construction, probably through 2017 and 2029, respectively. When completed, they will have a great impact on water overflow. e. If the Deep Tunnel is full, the water goes into the Chicago River. There are 3 points along the lakefront where water can be discharged (Wilmette, by Navy Pier, and south). At Lockport, there's a hydropower plant where they can start drawing water when a heavy rainstorm is predicted. When the water levels rise enough, they open the gates. If the water's high enough, it will flow out; if not, it won't. f. Mayor Staackmann thanked Ms. Sharma and her colleagues for coming this evening, and for meeting with a block of residents last week about an issue. 2. Mr. Wade announced that flu shots will be available at the American Legion Memorial Civic Center on September 30, October 6, and October 7 for residents age 65 and older. Times for the flu shots vary and appointments are necessary, so people must call 847 - 470 -5223 to schedule an appointment. 3. Mr. Wade said that Halloween "trick or treat" hours in the Village are between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 31 St. B. Corporation Counsel: Corporation Counsel Liston had no report. X.

He moved to accept the Warrants, seconded by Trustee Toth. Trustee Thill inquired about three checks to TexCorp Petroleum Company. It's the same amount of fuel each time, but each check amount is different. He wondered if that was because of the fluctuation in fuel price at the time of delivery. Mr. DeMonte said that was correct. He added that a different rate is in effect over 6,000 gallons. There being no further discussion, Mayor Staackmann called for the vote. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria absent Tr. Gomberg . aye. Tr. Grear we Tr. Marcus gye Tr. Thill pye Tr. Tenth a RESIDENTS' COMMENTS Sill Wegner of Super Cup asked about the construction on Lincoln Avenue, noting that his business was down 50% since the construction began. Mayor Staackmann asked Mr. DeMonte if the construction was on schedule. Mr. DeMonte noted that the concrete hadn't cured enough to shift traffic yet and it would probably be another seven days before that would happen. He said he was meeting with the contractor tomorrow and would be in touch with Mr. Wegner after that. Mayor Staackmann asked the assemblage to please patronize these local businesses who are suffering during the construction. He noted that people can get to Super Cup by using Fernald Avenue. Trustee Marcus said he empathized with Mr. Wegner and encouraged Mr. DeMonte to find out when specifically eastbound traffic would be allowed again on Lincoln, as that might bring more business to Mr. Wegner. Mr. DeMonte said he would do so. J AJI- ;MiWtS'nf.e LCUfz17�j,t:174A,lMI� i Trustee Thill moved to adjourn the meeting. Trustee Marcus seconded the motion. Potion passed unanimously via voice vote.

Minutes by: Tony S, Kalogerakos, Village Clerk Special meeting minmtes.Q9 -29 -14 Whereas, the strength and vitality of Morton Grove depends on how safe we keep our homes, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and communities; and Whereas, crime and fear of crime destroy the trust in others and in civic institutions, threatening the community's health, prosperity, and quality of life; and Whereas, people of all ages must be made aware of what they can do to prevent themselves and their families, neighbors, and co- workers from being harmed by crime; and Whereas, crime prevention initiatives must include self - protection and security, but they must go beyond these to promote collaborative efforts to make neighborhoods safer for all ages and to develop positive opportunities for young people; and Whereas, effective crime prevention excels because of partnerships with law enforcement, other government agencies, civic groups, schools, faith communities, businesses, and individuals as they help to nurture communal responsibility and instill pride. NOW, THEREFORE, 1, Daniel J. Staackmann, Mayor by virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of the Village of Morton Grove, Illinois, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2010 as in Morton Grove and urge all citizens, government agencies, public and private institutions, as well as businesses to invest in the power of prevention and work together to make Morton Grove, Illinois a safer, stronger, and more caring community. .�a dv, ` ��` r \ Y IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the seal of the Village of Morton Grove. Daniel J. Staackmann, Village President AFETY 20-10 lip Trick or Treat hours between 3.301;m and 7:30 nm Everyone wants to have a safe and happy Halloween for themselves, their guests and their children. Using safety tips and some common sense can help you make the most of your Halloween, keeping it as enjoyable for your kids as it is for you! A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that during 1975- 1.996, the number of deaths among young pedestrians was four times higher on Halloween evening when compared with the same time period during all other evenings of the year. Please check local state or county websites for sex offenders. Teach your kids about not getting into strangers cars or talking to strangers, no matter what the person says to them. Know the route your kids will be taking if you aren't going with them. Make sure you set a curfew and your child has a pre - programmed cell phone number to call for help. Serve your kids a filling meal before trick or treating and they won't be as tempted to eat a lot of candy before they bring it home for you to check. Children and adults tend to be preoccupied and may not pay as much attention to safety as they should ... drive defensively! Teens: Make sure that your parents know where you are going and who you are going with. Vandalism is never cool! Throwing eggs or shaving cream at cars and houses is a crime. Halloween poses special risks to young pedestrians; pay attention to Your surroundings. Report suspicious activity. Kids: Never, ever go into a stranger's house; Be careful when you cross a street; Costumes should be bright, non- restrictive and have reflective material; It is recommended that parents and children carry a flashlight; Masks should allow for good vision; Parents should travel with children & inspect all candy before it is eaten, ,= A U, 4 • fi Resolution 10 -74 Introduction: Synopsis: Purpose: Background: Programs, Departments or Groups Affected Fiscal Impact: Source of Funds: Workload Impact: Administrator Recommendation: First Leading: Special Considerations or Requirements: Respectfully submitted: Prepared by: October I I , 2 01 0 The Village is now required to post on its website an Americans with Disability Act coordinator who will provide a procedure to resolve complaints.

To make a desirable change in plans to the Dempster- Street Roadway improvements consisting of removing the existing asphalt pavement base along a 3,000 -foot segment along Dempster Street from Fernald Avenue to Parkside Avenue with concrete pavement base, with the omission of the channelized intersection paverent in the vicinity of Austin Avenue. The Village and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) have an agreement to make streetscape and roadway improvements to Dempster Street between Ferris Avenue and Central Avenue. The agreement includes terms for the Village to provide construction engineering services and also certain financial responsibilities for engineering and construction costs. The Village commonly refers to these improvements as "Dempster Street Roadway Improvements ". IDOT has a construction contract with ALamp Concrete Contractors, Inc. (ALamp) for "Dempster Street Water Main Improvements" for an amount of $4,776,280.20. The existing pavement along an approximately 3,000 -foot section of Dempster Street consists of concrete pavement in the center flanked by asphalt pavement of I i -inch and 5 -inch thicknesses on each side. The scope of improvements includes removing approximately seven feet of five inches of asphalt pavement base and replacing a narrower roadway section with four feet of I I inches of asphalt pavement base. ALamp has proposed changing the scope of improvements from replacing asphalt pavement base with concrete base at no additional cost to the contract. The Village's engineering consultant and the Village Engineer consider the proposed change would have a potentially undesirable result of having flexible asphalt pavement base flanked by rigid concrete paverent base on both sides. ALamp has agreed in concept to the modified proposal if ALamp would be financially compensated for the work which exceeds their proposed change. IDOT is considering the proposed change to replace the entire asphalt base with concrete base.

October 11, 2010 To delete outdated building regulations. The purpose of this ordinance is to eliminate an outdated ban on combustible buildin" zn construction in the commercial and manufacturing districts. The Building Department, in coordination with the Fire Department, researched the current prohibition of combustible construction in other than residential districts. In 1977 the village adopted a Sprinklered Building Ordinance, amended in 1995, requiring buildings over 1,000 square feet in area of any type construction in C and M zoning districts be protected by automatic fore sprinkler systems. In light of Current building code requirements and the language in Municipal Code Section 9 -2 -2, "Automatic Fire Extinguishment ", the Building Commissioner and Fire Chief feel the proposed language change will provide an acceptable level of fire and life safety protection. The proposed language will allow buildings in the C and M zoning districts to be constructed with noncombustible walls (metal or masonry) and combustible wood roofs (Type III construction) or combustible walls (wood or brick veneer) and combustible wood roofs (Type V construction) where the building is limited to a maximum of 4,500 square feet in area, no more than one story, or 15 feet, in height, and is separated from all other buildings by at least 30 feet.
