SPECIAL REPORTS (continued)
b. Mr, Dick said that, last year, CMAP had received a HUD grant and had put out a request for
projects to be submitted. Morton Grove was one of the first projects selected. He introduced
other members of the project team, adding that he wants to get the community involved in the
planning process. Mr. Dick said the Industrial Areas plan will be an update to the Village's
Comprehensive Plan, and is important in determining future land use and capital improve-
ments. Or, if the Village decides its industrial areas should stay as they are currently, the Plan
will look at how existing entities within the industria! areas can be helped and how the Village
can attract new businesses for location there.
c. The process of putting together this plan will last about 10 to 12 months. The Plan
Commission will serve as the "steering committee" and sounding board. The scope of work
includes: understanding of existing conditions (e.g., key person interviews, driving the areas,
noting the number of vacancies, examining the Village's zoning ordinances); setting the
vision (through a creative, visionary, brainstorming workshop), and then developing an
implementation plan to actually realize the vision.

VII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Mayor Staackmann proclaimed April 27, 2012 as "Arbor Day" in the Village, noting that this
holiday was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in Nebraska in 1872.

enhance the economic vitality of business areas, and beautify the community.
Mayor Staackmann urged all citizens to support efforts to protect trees and woodlands and
to support the Village's urban forestry program

Trustee DiMaria had no report.
B. Trustee Gomberg'
1. Trustee Gomberg presented Resolution 12 -35, Authorization for the Purchase of a Sports
Utility Police Vehicle Through the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative, Contract #122.
He explained that this purchase will replace the Incident Command vehicle currently being
used in the Police Department, which needs replacing due to its age and declining reliability.
The Incident Command vehicle has been in the fleet since 2001. Public Works has
recommended that the vehicle be retired from police emergency use and transferred to
another department as its reliability is questionable. Reliable emergency vehicles are essential
to the safety of the officers and therefore need to be in excellent condition at all times. The
cost of this vehicle is $27,249.
Trustee Gomberg moved, seconded by Trustee DiMaria, to approve Resolution 12 -35. Motion
passed: 6 ayes, 0 nays.

Trustee Grear had no report.
D. Trustee Marcus:
1. Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 12 -10, !amending the Municipal
Code, Title 5, Chapter 9, Section 9, Article D, Entitled "Municipal Parking Zones" of the
Municipal Code of the Village of Morton Grove.
a. He explained that the Board had asked staff to survey municipal parking zones to standardize
parking restrictions therein. Based on that survey, conducted in March, staff prepared an
amendment to restrict certain municipal parking zones to three hours. Also, all municipal
parking zones will now have a no- parking restriction between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and
5:00 a.m.
b. Trustee DiMaria noted that there was no Traffic Safety Report accompanying this ordinance.
Corporation Counsel said that it was because it wasn't based on a petition or request from a
business or resident.
c. Mayor Staackmann said that the Village receives numerous calls from businesses near
municipal parking lots stating that there are cars parking there for the day, which precludes
patrons from being able to park there.
d. Trustee Thill asked if the parking could be limited to two hours instead of three.
Mayor Staackmann responded that staff's research indicated that three hours was more
standard than two hours, thus it would be easier to enforce.
e. Trustee Thill asked if all the business owners had been notified about this. If not, he
suggested that they should be, prior to the passage of the ordinance.
There was no further discussion on Ordinance 12 -10.
2. Next, Trustee Marcus presented Resolution 12 -33, Authorization to Execute a Contract
With Metro Tank and Pump Company for the installation of Two Bennett Diesel and Gas
Dispensing Pumps for the Replacement of Two Bennett Fuel Dispensing Pumps.
a. He explained that the this resolution will authorize Public Works to replace two existing gas
and diesel pumps, installed in 1991 at the Public Works facility fueling station. This fueling
station provides fuel to all Village Departments, including the Morton Grove Park District.
Existing pumps have numerous safety issues and have become a dependability and safety
issue.
b. Trustee Marcus said that funds in the 2012 Budget were approved in the amount of $30,220
for the replacement of two fuel pumps. After the bid process, the actual cost for replacement
will be $25,860, about $5,000 less than budgeted.

He explained that this will change the parking restrictions on Ferris Avenue to extend the time
allowed for parking on the west side of Ferris near its intersection with Lincoln Avenue during
off -peak hours, and extended to include Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
There was no discussion on Ordinance 12 -11.
4. Next, Trustee Marcus brought forward Resolution 12 -34, Authorizing the Execution of a
Contract With St. Aubin Nursery and Landscaping for the 2012 Tree Planting Program.
a. He explained that the Tree Planting Program is necessary to purchase and plant trees to
replace those in the Village that are being lost due to storms and disease. To date,
approximately 478 ash trees have been removed from public property due to the Emerald
Ash Borer.
Trustee Marcus said that a grant was obtained by staff in order to help fund replacement tree
costs, and funds secured through the 2011 Recycling Reimbursement will also be used. The
contract value is $12,580; however, the anal contract amount will be based on actual quantity
of work performed.
Trustee Marcus moved to approve Resolution 12 -34, seconded by Trustee Toth.
c. Trustee Thill asked how many trees would be planted for $12.580. Director of Public Works
Andy DeMonte responded that he wasn't sure. Trustee Thill asked if there was still a 50/50
Tree Planting Program. Mr. DeMonte said he did not believe the Village would be having a
50/50 Tree Planting Program this year. Trustee Thill asked if the plan was to replace just one
tree per property, even if more trees had been lost on any particular property. Mir. DeMonte
said yes, that is the plan.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Staackmann called for the vote. Motion passed:

5. Trustee Marcus said, as the Village's liaison to the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook

This is the second reading of this Ordinance.
a. Trustee Toth explained that this ordinance will amend the Municipal Code to require
establishments and their employees to card anyone who appears to be under the age of 35
purchasing an alcoholic beverage.
b. Trustee Marcus asked if this ordinance was stronger than current State law.
c. Mayor Staackmann responded that it is, adding that anything the Village can do to prohibit
underage drinking, it will do. He said that this is tnesame policy that's in effect for other
major companies and grocery chains that sell liquor in Illinois.
Trustee Toth moved to adopt Ordinance 12 -09, seconded by Trustee Thill. Motion passed:

Governance.
a. She explained
that this
ordinance will authorize
the Village to operate an electric aggregation
program as an
"opt -out
program" for residential
and small commercial retail customers.
b. Trustee Toth said a new State law allows the Village to aggregate the electrical load in
order to obtain group pricing and hopefully group savings on the purchase of electricity. All
residential users and small commercial retail customers are automatically part of the group
purchase program but may opt -out, if they so desire, as long as a referendum has passed by
a majority of residents.

Mr. Said, and stated that he is an advocate for development, that he truly understands its
importance, and is definitely an asset to the Village.

XIII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS
William Weiss, appeared before the Board to complain that Morton Grove's vehicle tags cost
the most of any of the surrounding towns. He said he understood that things are tough, but it
didn't seem fair. He said he had to pay $190 for three vehicle tags. In Park Ridge, that would
have cost $180; in Des Plaines, only $95. Mr. Weiss said that he is a retired school teacher
and just thought it wasn't a fair price.
Mr. Weiss was also concerned about Morton Grove's charges for alarm systems. He said that
Skokie charges $25, but only for the first year. No one charges $50 annually. He said he al-
ready pays ADT $35 a month, and has never had to pay that type of annual fee.

In an attempt to generate cost savings by combining work scopes and quantities. The Public
Works Department has partnered with other communities through the Municipal Partnering
Program, in some instances realizing substantial savings. However, after the bid opening at
2:00 pm on March 14, 2012, located at the Glenview Finance Department. 'File bid for the
Material Hauling Program came in incomplete and unable to meet all of Morton Groves's
requirements and needs. For that reason we opted out of the Municipal Partnering Program.
During conversations with the current vendor, G &L Contractors Inc. They agreed to honor
(with the same pricing, teens and conditions) the original contract for an additional two years.
In light of tile bid outcome from the Municipal Partnering program and an existing contract
held at the same terms and conditions, Public Works recommends a contract extension.

OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF MORTON GROVE
Introduced
April 23, 2012
Objective
I
1 o amend Title 10, Chapter 2 "Electrical Regulations" of the Village Municipal
Code.
Purpose:
The purpose of this ordinance is to adopt by reference the 2011 National Electric
Code (NEC) with amendments.
Background:
The Village of Morton Grove has effectively utilized the Chicago Electric
Code with appropriate amendments for many years. However, as technologv
and equipment has evolved, such as, the regulations for charging stations for
electric vehicles and wind and solar powered type systems the majority of the
suburban communities have found it necessary to change to the National fire
Protection Association's (NFPA) National Electric Code (NEC). In addition,
the Village has entered into a contractual agreement with an outside agency
for plan review and inspectional services. That agency maintains NEC
certified inspectors and plan review personnel to complete the electrical
portions of that work. This ordinance will assist the Village of Morton
Grove in maintaining current and compliant electrical regulations for work
conducted throughout the Village. This ordinance will update that portion of
the Municipal Code relative to the electrical regulations themselves.

L,e0slative Summary
Ordinance 12 -12 —
AUTHORIZING AGGREGATION OF AN ELECTRICAL' LOAD AND ADOPTING AN ELECTRIC
AGGREGATION PLAN OF OPERATION AND GOVERNANCE
Introduced: il April 9, 2012
Synopsis: This ordinance will authorize the Village to operate an electric aggregation program as an `opt -
out program" for residential and small commercial retail customers.
Purpose: The operation of an electrical aggregation program is anticipated to save Village residents and
small businesses substantially for the purchase of electricity.
Background: The State Legislature recently amended the Illinois Power Agency Act to allow municipalities to
aggregate the electrical load (supplies) in order to obtain group pricing and hopefully group
savings on the purchase of electricity. The law allows the Village to operate the program as an
opt -out program (which will provide all residential customers and small businesses to be
automatically part of the group purchase program but may opt -out if they so desire) so lone as a
referendum is passed by a majority of residents. Village of Morton Grove voters have approved
such a referendum on March 20, 2012. In order to proceed with the apt -out program, the Village
has retained the services of Nimeek. The Village is also required by law to adopt an E;lecu-ical
Power Aggregation Plan of Operation and Governance, and hold two public hearings on the
aggregation. The two public hearings are scheduled for April 23 and May 14, 2011 This
ordinance will adopt and approve the Electric Aggregation Plan Operation and Governance. It
also gives the Village the opportunity to partner with other communities in order to achieve
maximum savings for its residents. The Plan of Governance provides all applicable residential
customers shall have universal access to the program and shall fully inform residents and small
commercial retailers of their right to opt out of the program. T'he electric aggregation will occur
automatically for each residential or small retail business customer unless they affirmatively opt -
Iout of the program. in other words, residents do not need to do anything to take advantage of any
savings achieved through this program.
Programs, Departs f Administration and Legal Departments
or Groups Affected
Fiscal Impact: While there is no guarantee as to savings, other communities have been able to achieve a savings
of up to thirty percent (30 %) of the cost of electrical supply for its residents and small businesses.
Source of Funds: N/A

Electric Power ,aggregation
Plan of Operation and Governance
INTRODUCTION
Public Act 96 -1076 amended the Illinois Power Agreement Act by adding Section 1 -92
to Chapter 20, Act 3855 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes ( "the Act ") and allowed the
Corporate Authorities of a municipality to adopt an ordinance in accordance with the Act to
aggregate electrical loads for residential and small commercial retail customers within the
corporate limits of the Village of Morton Grove on an opi -out or opt -in program. The Act
further authorized a municipality to select suppliers of retail electric supply, solicit bids and
enter into service agreements to facilitate the sale and purchase of electricity and related
services. The legislation authorized the Illinois Power Agency ( "IPA ") to assist a municipality
in developing a plan of operation and governance.
Large industrial and commercial consumers with sophisticated electric operations use
their size and expertise to obtain lower electric power rates. Individual residential and small
commercial retail consumers are typically unable to obtain significant once reductions since
they lack the same bargaining power, expertise, and the economies of scale enjoyed by
larger consumers. Aggregation, the combining of multiple electric loads, provides the
benefits of retail electric competition for consumers with lower electric usage.
Municipal aggregation, the combining of multiple retail electric loads of customers by
a municipality, provides the means through which municipal residential and small commercial
retail customers may obtain economic benefits of Illinois' competitive retail electric market.
Tne Aggregation Program combines the electric loads of residential and
small commercial retail customers to form a buying group ( "Aggregation Group "). The Village
of Morton Grove ( "Village ") will act as purchasing agent for the Aggregation Group.
Therefore, will be a Municipal or Governmental Aggregator, as described
by Illinois law and the rules established by authorized agencies, and shall act on behalf of
Commonwealth Edison Company, an affiliate of Exelon Corporation (herein referred to as
"ComEd" or "Commonwealth Edison ") in the Village to obtain the best Aggregation Program
for the Members of the Aggregation Group.
PROCESS
On March 20, 2012, in accordance with the reauirements of the Act, Village of Morton
Grove voters approved a referendum to operate an Aggregation Program as an "opt -out"
Program. Under the opt -out program, all ComEd residential and small commercial retail
customers in the Village are automatically included as participants in the Program unless
they opt -nut of the Program by providing written notice of their intention not to participate as a
part of the Aggregation Group. As required by state law, the Corporate Authorities of the
Village duly passed an Ordinance which authorized submitting to the Village's electorate the
determination whether or not the Aggregation Program shall operate as an opt -out program.
Following the approval of the referendum by the electorate, the Village passed
Resolution 12 -18 on February 27, 2012, authorizing the Village to aggregate electric loads for
residential and small commercial retail customers in the Village and implement an opt -out
program.
In addition to passing the required documents by the Corporate Authorities, the Village
may also be required to comply with various rules and regulations established by authorized
agencies of the State of Illinois. The Village will promptly file any application and comply with
any applicable rules and regulations that may be required by Illinois law for certification as a
Municipal Aggregator and to operate the Aggregation Program under the Act. As required
by the Act, the Corporate Authorities developed and approved this Aggregation Plan of
Operation and Governance ( "Plan "). Before adopting this Plan and as required by the Act,
the Corporate Authorities duly published a notice in the Morton Grove Champion Newspaper,
a newspaper of general circulation in the Village /City, of public hearings to be held on April
23, 2012, at 7:00 pm and May 14, 2012, at 7.00 pm. The public hearings were held by the
Corporate Authorities at Village Hall and provided the residents of the Village of Morton
Grove a meaningful opportunity to be heard regarding the Aggregation Program and this
Plan. The Corporate Authorities considered the concerns of the residents and information
disclosed at the hearings in the development of this Plan. Theopt-out notice for the
Aggregation Program shall be provided in advance to all eligible electric customers in the
Village upon approval of this Plan according to the opt -out disclosure program developed by
the Village. The opt -out notice and disclosures shall comply with the Act and all applicable
rules and regulations of any authorized agency in the State of Illinois and shall fully inform
such customers in advance they have the right to apt -out of the Aggregation Program. The
opt -out notice shall disclose all required information including but not limited to the rates,
terms and conditions of the Program and the specific method to opt -out of the Program.
By majority vote of the Corporate Authorities, the Village may select a Retail Electric
Supplier ( "RES" or "Provider ") to provide the electric power for the
Aggregation Program according to the terms of a written service agreement entered into by
and between the Provider and the Village. By majority vote of the Corporate Authorities, the
Village may determine not to enter into a service agreement with any Provider and in such
event the Aggregation Group shall continue to purchase electric power through
Commonwealth Edison. If the Corporate Authorities enter into a service agreement with a
Provider, Commonwealth Edison will continue to provide and service delivery of the
electricity purchased from the Provider, and metering, repairs and emergency service will
continue to be provided by Commonwealth Edison. The Corporate Authorities have
determined each participant in the Aggregation Group shall receive a single monthly bill from
Commonwealth Edison under applicable tariffs.
