Mary Busch, Chairperson of the Natural Resources Commission, and Commissioners David Conrad and Sharon Erickson, thanked the Board and staff for the opportunity to present these awards. John Slater, representing the Morton Grove Historical Society, also joined the group. b. Ms. Busch read the mission statement of the Natural Resources Commission: It was established to make investigations and recommendations to the Village Board in order to preserve, conserve, enhance, and protect the environment and the natural resources of the Village. The Commission also promotes public interest, awareness, and education for the responsible management of these resources. The Commission hears appeals and requests for exemptions regarding tree permits and replacement of trees. The Commission also serves as a liaison between the Village and other governmental, public, and private agencies to encourage development of programs and management of land that support conservation, improvement, and enhancement of the environment. This Champion and Heritage Tree Awards is one such program, and this is the third year the Commission has had this program. C. Commissioner David Conrad, a graduate of Virginia Tech's School of Forestry, said it was quite impressive to see the trees on this year's awards list. He noted that there are some oaks and hickorys that date back 200 or 300 years, because the property owners took pride in them, cared for them, and looked at them as a resource. He pointed out that trees provide multiple benefits to homeowners, including reducing the need for air conditioning in the summer months, filtering out air pollution, trapping carbon emissions, helping to move ground water, etc. He said he was glad to view the nominated trees and hear the stories around them, d. Ms. Busch invited Mr. Slater to speak. Mr, Slater said that one of the items in the mission statement of the Historical Society is "cooperating with other Village organizations." This project of recognizing trees as an asset is one that the Historical Society is happy to partner with, and help with the recognition part. The Historical Society also recently partnered with the Village on the successful "Veterans' History" project, an exhibit that just opened at the Historical Museum. He thanked curator Mary Busch for all her hard work on this project. e. Commissioner Sharon Erickson then presented the first certificate of award to Gina Howe, for a shag bark hickory at 6021 Grove Court. The next award was to the Eugene Sutfin family at 8721 School Street for a small grove of burr oak trees. Another award went to the Craig Stehle family at 9336 for a burr oak tree adjacent to an Indian Marker Tree. Next was an award for a swamp white oak at 8715 School Street, belonging to Vera Ruehrdanz, Ms. Busch said that was the tree that Bill Burns, from the Public Works Forestry Division, thought was the best. Lastly, a king nut hickory tree, nominated by Trustee Thill, located in Linne Woods, received an award which was accepted by Trustee Thill, who commented that he enjoys working with the Natural Resources Commission very much. f. Trustee Thill said that most of these award - winning trees were located on the east side of Morton Grove. The west side of town was developed more recently, within the last 60 years, and the developers just bulldozed everything. He applauded the Commission for making people aware of the trees on their property, and their history, noting that "trees are living things," and by preserving trees, we're preserving our history. 2 Minutes of NOVember %2010 804a Meeflod OVA SPECIAL REPORTS (continued) g. Mayor Staackmann remarked that a vast portion of the west side of town used to be a nursery. He speculated that some of the trees on the east side of town may have come from that nursery! 2. Farmers' Market Recognition of GVA of Chicago and Dr. William Goldstein of the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute a. Kristina Otte, Rosetta Metz, Laura Frisch, and Trustee Larry Gomberg took part in this presentation. Ms. Otte first thanked the Village Board and staff for being so supportive of the first year of the Farmers' Market. She had a plaque to present to GVA of Chicago (the owners of the site the Farmers' Market is using) expressing the gratitude of the Farmers' Market to them for their support and sponsorship in allowing them to use the property this year and next year. Ms. Otte singled out Administrator Joe Wade, the Public Works Department, and the Fire Department for all their help and support, and especially the EMA volunteers, who came out every Saturday helping with safety and parking issues. She thanked all the sponsors of this year's Farmers' Market, all 16 of the vendors, and all of the patrons. Ms. Otte also thanked the Morton Grove Chamber of Commerce, the "umbrella" organization for the Farmers' Market, and said, without the Chamber, the Farmers' Market wouldn't be here right now. She said the market had a small —but strong —first year, as planned. Next year they will be expanding the number of vendors to 25 and increasing the number of festivals, as those proved quite popular. She said she is looking for ways to get other local businesses involved. Ms. Otte encouraged people to attend the Farmers' Market meetings, which are held every second Thursday in the Chamber's office at Village Hall. b. Trustee Marcus commented that the Farmers' Market was a wonderful s,!ccess due to the chairmanship of Ms. Otte and her wonderful committee. He said their enthusiasm and great efforts were quite impressive, and he urged other residents to "get involved" with the Farmers' Market. VI. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) T NONE 1. Mayor Staackmann sought concurrence of his appointment of Allan Heinrich to the Economic Development Commission. Trustee Thill moved to concur, seconded by Trustee DiMaria. Motion passed unanimously via voice vote. 2. Mayor Staackmann asked residents to be patient with the trucks during leaf pick -up season. 3. Mayor Staackmann noted that he's recently been receiving many calls regarding the Library and the proposed new library building. He emphasized that the Library is a separate taxing body with a separate elected Board. The Village Board has no jurisdiction over the Library. He asked residents who have questions, comments, or concerns, to contact the Library's Executive Director, Ben Shapiro, or any of the Library Board members. 3 VIII. 1. Clerk Kalogerakos noted that any resident who wished to address the Board during residents comments should fill out a form found in the back of the room and bring it up. 2.

Mr. Wade announced that tomorrow evening, a third budget hearing would be held in the Trustees Conference Room at 6:00 p.m. The General Fund and Water Fund will be discussed. rd Minutes of 140vemberl, 2090 Board Mee in 1X. STAFF REPORTS (continued) 2. Mr. Wade then asked Finance Director Ryan Horne to give a brief presentation on the new municipal parking lot across from the train station. Al Mr. Horne said that the 112 -space lot will open on January 1, 2011. For an $800 annual fee (payable quarterly or annually), people will be guaranteed a parking place with easy access to the train. The permit is transferrable, so it can be used on any car in the household. This is an "interim" parking lot which will probably be around for about 7 years. It will serve to increase the number of available commuter parking spaces. Morton Grove residents will get first preference. Mr. Horne said that, so far, 23 people have signed up for a parking space in the new lot. The permits are good for one year and good only at that particular parking lot. Returned check fees as well as late fees and lost sticker fees will apply. b. Permits must be displayed in the lower corner of the rear window on the driver's side, near the "zone" parking sticker, if applicable. The permits will use "window cling" technology, making them transferrable from one vehicle to another. The permits will be a different color year after year. The permit form requires that at least one vehicle's information be on file with the Village. The permit allows the vehicle to be parked in that lot from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although the deadline for getting vehicles out of that lot is 2:00 a.m. After 5:00 p.m., parking is free and open to any vehicle. No overnight parking is allowed. Mr. Horne read some comments that he's already received from residents about this new municipal parking lot. c. Trustee Thill asked if parking spots would be "assigned ". Mr. Horne said they will not be assigned or numbered. A resident who has a permit to park there can park anywhere in the lot. Trustee Thill commented that he would like to see the Village name the parking lot after former Mayor Dan Scanlon, who is ailing. d. Trustee Marcus asked if the Village would plow the lot when it snows (yes). He also wondered if cars would be towed if they were still there after 2:00 a.m. (yes). He said that he's heard some comments about the cost of parking in this new lot. He said it averages out to about $3.33 per day, which he felt was an outstanding value, especially since it's a "guaranteed" parking spot, and even more so when considering the cost of parking downtown. e. Trustee Gomberg said that he had spoken to a resident who thought that the municipal parking lot was replacing the existing Metra parking. He wanted to emphasize that this parking lot is in addition to the existing Metra parking. f. Mr. Wade said the Village had surveyed other communities' fee structures for a municipal commuter parking lot and Morton Grove's price is competitive. 3. Next, Mr. Wade asked Public Works Director Andy DeMonte for a status report on the Dempster, Lincoln, and Ferris construction projects. a. Mr. DeMonte said, unfortunately, it's very evident that Dempster Street will not be completed by the end of the year. The water main work was finished early, but the three -week strike put the roadway improvements part of the project behind schedule. Also contributing to the tag is the utility companies, notably Nicor and AT &T. Mr. DeMonte said he was meeting with the contractor tomorrow to figure out how to close the construction work out for the year, and to see if the utilities can be penalized, since the lack of completion is no fault of the contractor's. He said that, weather permitting, the contractor will continue to work on Dempster through mid - December. IDOT's work on the Dempster Street bridge is scheduled to be completed by December 1 st E IX. STAFF REPORTS (continued) Minutes of November B, 2070 Board Meetin b. As far as the construction work on Lincoln and Ferris Avenues, by the end of November, that work will be substantially completed. The sidewalks will be wider than they look now. Mr. DeMonte said the sidewalks will be a minimum of 4 -feet wide with concrete or brick paving. He noted that there are still some problems with some of the utilities on the southeast section— Comcast, ComEd, and AT &T still need to relocate their utilities. c. Trustee Marcus asked if the utilities anticipated getting their work done before the end of the year. Mr. DeMonte said he was not optimistic about it. B. Corporation Counsel: Corporation Counsel Liston had no report. X. A. Trustee DiMaria: Trustee DiMaria had no report. B. Trustee Gomberq: rustee Gomberg had no report. C. Trustee Grear: Trustee Grear had no formal report, but asked the assemblage to keep Karl in their prayers as his mother is quite ill. Karl is an EMA volunteer who usually does the taping of the Village Board meetings. D. Trustee Marcus: 1. Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 10 -21, Amending Title 5, Chapter 9, Section 9, Entitled "Municipal Parking Zones" of the Municipal Code of the Village of Morton Grove. He explained that this ordinance will update the Village's regulations pertaining to municipal parking zones, particularly to include the Village's new Lehigh /Chestnut commuter parking lot, and to impose certain parking regulations for all its municipal parking lots. Trustee Marcus noted that one of the updates will be to restrict parking in certain municipal parking zones between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Trustee Thill commented on that. He said that the 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. parking restriction seems to apply only to the municipal parking lots on Dempster and the new one on Lehigh. [01 Minutes j6f November 8 2010 Board Meeting X. TRUSTEES' REPORTS (continued) D. Trustee Marcus: Trustee Thill said that there's diagonal parking on some of the side streets off of Dempster, and he would like to see the same parking restriction there, too. He also suggested that language be added that would include any future municipal parking lots. Trustee DiMaria asked if verbiage could be included that would point out what's applicable to "patrons" of the municipal lots, versus "employees" of adjacent or nearby businesses who might be parking there. Mr. Wade said that could be reviewed with the Police Department, 2. Trustee Marcus noted that he and other members of the Board had participated in the Veterans Day Parade yesterday. He said it was a wonderful experience for those who were able to attend, and a beautiful day to pay respects to our Armed Forces. Afterward, he visited the Historical Museum's new Veterans' History exhibit. Trustee Marcus said it really reflects who we are and how easily we forget some of the sacrifices of those who came before us. He commended Mary Busch and the Historical Society. He said the exhibit will be on display through the end of the year, and encouraged everyone to see it —and bring their children. E. Trustee Thill Trustee Thill had no formal report, but echoed Trustee Marcus' comments about the Veterans' Day events. He said he couldn't have said it better. It was an outstanding affair. He noted that the American Legion Post #134 had held a dinner dance the night before, to which the Board had been invited. That, too, was quite enjoyable. F. Trustee Toth: Trustee Toth had no report. X. OTHER BUSINESS NONE XI. WARRANTS Trustee Gomberg presented the Warrant Register for November 8, 2010 in the amount of $2,449,661.91. He moved to accept the Warrants, seconded by Trustee Toth. a. Trustee Thill had a question about a check for $4,000 listed on page 3 of the Warrants for "repairing warning siren in Harrer Park." Fire Chief Tom Friel responded that that is one of four warning sirens in the Village. It is still operational, but has limited rotation —it wasn't going in a 360- degree arc as it should be, thus necessitating the repair. Chief Friel pointed out that the $4,000 is only a partial payment; the total would be somewhere around $10,000. iA MiOu W pf N ovembeM 3010 #card Meet ft 11" XI. WARRANTS (continued) Mayor Staackmann clarified that three out of four of the warning sirens were purchased using State grant funds. Chief Friel confirmed that, adding that the cost to install each siren is about $22,000. b. Trustee Thill also had a question about a check for $4,500, listed on page 12, for "street light repair ". He asked if this was a case where the Village made the repair and then would get reimbursed from an insurance company. Mr. Horne said yes, it will get reimbursed. C. Trustee Thill noted a $1,300 check for "street light maintenance ". Mr. Horne said that Lyons Pinner Electric does general street light maintenance. Mr. DeMonte said the Village has a contract with them for the general maintenance, but does get charged extra if they have to come for unscheduled maintenance or repair work. d. Trustee Thill asked about a check for $2,000 for tires, and another check for $1,500 for tires (on page 15). He wondered why the Village used two different tire suppliers, and why local vendors weren't being used. Mr. DeMonte responded that one purchase was through a state bid program. The other purchase for large recapped tires, which local suppliers can't provide. XII. There being no further discussion, Mayor Staackmann called for the vote. Motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays. Tr. DiMaria ,awe Tr. Gomberg afire Tr. Grear pye Tr. Marcus aLe Tr. Thill afe Tr. Toth acre RESIDENTS' COMMENTS a. David Conrad. Mr. Conrad wondered what was going on with the required parking expansion at the MEC. He said that, in July of 2009, which was a particularly troublesome summer for the neighborhood, due to late -night noise from the mosque, he requested of Joe Wade that the additional parking required by the mediation agreement be built. The parking spaces are required to be built when there are 50 cars or more parked on the streets. Building Commissioner Ed Hildebrandt wrote a letter in June of 2010 noting that the mediation agree- ment required that 201 parking spaces were to be constructed initially, with an additional 23 parking spaces "land banked" to be built in the future. Counts of parked vehicles on Friday afternoons are substantially and consistently exceeding 50 per week. Mr. Conrad said the Village has the authority to terminate the Special Use Permit if its terms aren't being met. He felt the MEC should live up to their agreement, but the Village needs to enforce. He noted that the MEC responded on July 30`h, but their response seems to indicate that they want to renegotiate this provision of the Special Use Permit. Mr. Conrad said that, according to Mr. Hildebrandt's counts, there are, on average, 90 cars on the street during the Friday afternoon services. He said he would like to see something happen. Mayor Staackmann said the Village would have a response for Mr. Conrad by the end of the week. b. Laura Frisch, 5830 Crain, Ms. Frisch wanted to invite the assemblage to a "night out on Dempster" on Tuesday, November 30, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This is being sponsored by the friends of the Niles Township Food Pantry. Food will be donated by various eateries, and 15% of the sales will go to the Food Pantry. It's a chance to "give back" during the holiday season. She hoped everyone would come out for this event. F3 Minutba�of14oyember%20108berd DiMaria Trustee Gomberg Trustee Grear Trustee 0e iifs Trustee Thill Trustee Toth XII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS c. Trustee DiMaria asked for everyone to remember former Mayor Dan Scanlon in their prayers; he is not doing well. He said it's especially appropriate to remember Dan now, with Veterans Day coming up, because Dan is a decorated war hero who served in the Battle of the Bulge. XIII.

FLICKINGER MUNICIPAL CENTER 6101 CAPULINA AVENUE MORTON GROVE, ILLINOIS 60053 Pursuant to proper notice in accordance with the Open Meetings Act, the special meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by Village President Daniel J. Staackmann who led the assemblage in the pledge of allegiance. In attendance were: Elected Officials: Mayor Daniel J. Staackmann, and Trustees Dan DiMaria, Larry Gomberg, William Grear, Sheldon Marcus, John Thill, Maria Toth, and Village Clerk Tony Kalogerakos Absent None Village Staff: Village Administrator Joseph F. Wade, Corporation Counsel Teresa Hoffman Liston, Community and Economic Development Director John D. Said, Deputy Police Chief Brian Fennelly, Public Works Director Andy DeMonte, Deputy Public Works Director Joe Dahm, Family and Senior Services Director Jackie Walker- O'Keefe, Building Commissioner Ed Hildebrandt, Final-ice Director I? van Horne, Fire Prevention Director Bill Porter Also Present: Numerous members of the public and media Mr. Wade noted this was the Village's third Budget Workshop for this year. Much of the information presented at this meeting had already been presented to the Board but would be reviewed at this time, especially the budget information regarding the Village's Water /Sewer Fund. Mr. Horne then gave a PowerPoint presentation. He reiterated the 2011 budget objectives were a balanced budget, longer term sustainability, and to meet internal and external expectations of the Village. He noted property taxes paid by Village residents included much more than taxes received by the Village. The percentage of the real estate tax bill which actually goes to the Village depends on where the property is located. Tax bills differ depending on the elementary and high school districts; only 12% to 15% of the total property tax bill is paid to the Village of Morton Grove. Mr. Horne then reviewed the Village's tax levy. The levies for 2008 and 2009 which were collected in 2009 and 2010 respectively had no increase. Village staff is proposing a 3.5% increase in the proposed 2010 levy which will be paid in 2011. Mr. Horne then noted the bulk of the increased property taxes would be used to pay for public safety pensions. The proposed levy did provide for a $210,000 increase for debt service, which was attributed to General Obligation Bond series 2010A and 2010B. Mr. Horne also noted the Village's debt service expenses had risen in 2010 from a projected $1.5 million to $1.7 million, in pail because of the issuance of the 2010 General Obligation Bonds, The 2011 budget amount for debt service was projected at $1.9 million. Mr. Horne reported every one percentage increase in the Village's tax levy would provide an additional $96,492 of increased revenue to the Village. Mr. Horne then stated if the Village were to pass a V. 3.5% tax levy, the 2011 Budget would project a very small ($13,000) surplus. This would be the first balanced budget since 2007. Mr. Horne also noted fund balances would be maintained at approximately 24 %. The impact on the increased tax levy would be approximately $10 per year for $100,000 of fair market value of residential property. For example, a 3.5% levy increase for a residential property with a value of $300,000, would equate to $30 per year. If the Village were to pass a 4% levy, a home with a $300,000 market value would pay approximately $34 per year. Mr. Horne then provided a brief introduction of the Village's water /sewer accounts. These are proprietary funds classified as Enterprise Funds. Services are provided on a cost recovery basis. No part of the Village's property taxes, sales taxes, or other sources of revenue are used for this fund. The fund relies solely on revenue received by water customers. Mr. Home noted the Water /Sewer Fund revenues were estimated to increase by approximately $4.8 million in 2011 when compared to the estimated revenue for 2010. The largest source of this increase is the use of the 2010 General Obligation Bond Proceeds. The remaining increase of $620,000 is due to the City of Chicago automatic water increases. The expenses for the Water /Sewer Fund — Water Department, were expected to increase by $564,448 to a total expense of $872,393 due in part to an activity relating to the 2010 General Obligation Bonds. The Sewer Department Fund was expected to decrease by $190,884 to a total expenditure of $702,311 due to personnel cost allocations and a reduction in principal and interest costs since the IEPA loan and the Vactor truck loan were paid off in 2010. The Administration Fund was expected to increase by $303,812 to a total of $990,250. This increased cost was due in part to personnel cost reallocation, increased contractual services regarding the new flood control program and increased payments to MERF. In summary, the Water /Sewer Fund totals were expected to increase by $4,000,316 to a total expense of $10,502,784 with expenses exceeding revenues by $634,037. Bond proceeds are included as a source of funds and offset the cost of the bond projects. The resulting deficit is therefore "operational in nature ". On January 1, 2010, the Water /Sewer Unrestricted Fund balance was $2,988,850. By December 31, 2010, the unrestricted fund balance was expected to be $1,683,014. By December 31, 2011, the unrestricted fund balance was expected to be $1,047,977. Mr. Horne noted this fund balance was misleading because it includes hard assets which cannot be readily purchased or sold. Mr. Horne stated a fund cash flow analysis is more informative. Mr. Horne noted the fiscal year 2004 cash flow showed a net decrease in cash of $4,790. In 2005, the cash flow had a net increase in the amount of $646,455. In 2006, the cash flow showed an increase of $437,623. In 2007, the fund had a positive cash flow in the amount of $100,097. In 2008, the fund showed a decreased cash flow of $300,721. In 2009, the fund showed a decreased cash flow of $394,910. It is estimated in 2010. the fund will show a decrease in cash flow in the amount of $1,196,517. Cash and cash equivalents for the years ending 2007, 2008 and 2009 were $1,354,624, $1,053,903 and $658,993, respectively. The 2010 and 2011 ending balances for cash and cash equivalents are currently estimated to be deficits of ($537,524) and ($914,561), respectively. Assistant Public Works Director Joe Dahm then reviewed the proposed enterprise maintenance, repair and replacement projects, and capital projects for 2011. Mr. Wade noted these projects should be taken into consideration with substantially completed 2010 projects which included the painting of the north water tower, replacement of the 100 year old water main along Dempster Street at a cost of $1.8 million, and the major repair work to the Waukegan Road /Emerson water main at a cost of approximately $500,000. Mr. Dahm noted in 2011 projects would include replacement of water mains on New England and Carol Avenues, replacing aging fire hydrants, replacing all water meters with fixed based antennas, replacing a 20" feeder main, and replacing water main river crossings. The south water tower was also expected to be replaced. Mr. Horne then reviewed the Municipal and Financial Service Group analysis of the Village's Enterprise Fund. He noted the Village authorized the study pursuant to Resolution 07 -31. The study was completed in March 2008 and its findings, based on projected water sales at the current rate revenues, would be roughly 49% less than required cash revenues in fiscal year 2009 with subsequent significant shortfalls annually thereafter. The study also found the Village has a significant amount of water and sewer infrastructure that has exceeded its useful Iife. The Village's senior citizen water discount cost the Village approximately $190,000 per year, and the Village does not charge new customers a capital connection fee to buying into water and sewer systems. The study recommended the Village increase its water and sewer costs over the next five years and make significant investment in its water and sewer systems over the next ten to twenty years. This study also recommended the Village eliminate the senior discount program and impose a capital connection fee. The study also recommended the Village establish two reserve accounts, an operating and maintenance account and a repair, renewal, and rehabilitation reserve account. The operating and maintenance reserve account should include 90 days of operating and expenses, and the repair, renewal, and rehabilitation account should be based on the useful life of the water /sewer systems. The study recommended the Village invest $1 million annually in its water distribution system and $500,000 annually in its sewer system. The study also recommended the Village move forward with proposed increases to its water rates, and adopt a capacity fee for water and sewer totaling $558 for a 5l8" meter connection. Based on this study, Village staff recommends a 3% increase in water and sewer rates, an adoption of a meter replacement fee, the elimination of the senior discount fee, and the adoption of a capacity fee for new services. Mr. Horne then introduced the chairperson of the Village's Finance Advisory Commission Doug Steinman. Mr. Steinman stated the Finance Advisory Commission had reviewed all aspects of the Village's finances but it viewed the Water Fund as a glaring, immediate need. If operational funds are not increased, there will be a need to sell bonds which in addition to requiring increased fees to pay the bonds, the taxpayers would also have to pay debt service on the bonds. In answering a question from Mayor Staackmann, Mr. Horne stated negative balances in the Water Fund would not be favorable to future bond ratings. Mr. Steinman stated his committee recommended phasing out the senior water discount over a five year period. He stated the committee felt eliminating the discount entirely and immediately would be perceived as unfair. Trustee DiMaria stated currently water discounts are granted to certain seniors who do not need it. He believes all discounts should be need based. Mayor Staackmann stated Morton Grove is the only community in our area that offers water discounts. Crystal Lake and Palatine offer discounts much lower than the Village. He stated it was the Village's job to be fair to all residents and the Village has a dire need for funds at this point. Public Works Director Andy DeMonte asked the Board to remember no part of Village's taxes goes to the Water Fund. It is difficult to make cuts in this essential service and currently the senior water rate discount creates a critical deficit. It is essential to the health and safety of the Village the water system be maintained. There being no further discussion, Trustee Thill moved to adjourn to Executive Session, to discuss pending litigation, personnel issues, and potential sale of real estate. The motion was seconded by Trustee Gomberg and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 7:13 pm. At the conclusion of the Executive Session, Trustee DiMaria moved to adjourn the special meeting. The motion was seconded by Trustee Marcus and approved unanimously pursuant to a voice vote at 7:43 pm. Minutes by: Tony S.
