Regarding the minutes of the July 9, 2012, regular meeting, Trustee DiMaria moved, seconded by Trustee Marcus to approve the minutes as presented. There was no discussion. Motion passed unanimously via voice vote. Weekend shooting at the Muslim Education Center. Mayor Staackmann stated a shoot- ing had occurred in the Village over the weekend, the individual had been apprehended. The incident was handled swiftly and promptly by not only the Morton Grove Police De- partment but the Cook County State's Attorney. A special thank you was expressed to the Morton Grove Police Department for their professionalism and commitment to the safety of all in our fine community. Mr. Habeeb M. Quadri, Principal for the MEC school thanked the Village for helping to dispel the fear and concern their congregation felt following the shooting. He especially thanked Chief Erickson and his staff for their help and understanding during this difficult time. Ms. Samina Hussain, Chairperson for the Community Relations Commission stated the building at the MEC was damaged but was thankful no one was hurt. She stated this was not only an attack of the individuals at the MEC but everyone within the Village. The Community Relations Commission believes the Village values diversity and there should be tolerance as we work together to sort out difficulties through peaceful means. We need to help one another and wished everyone peace. b.

Anyone having questions can call at any time for additional information. C. Introduction of New Chamber Executive Director by the Morton Grove Chamber Presi- dent Richard Block. Mr. Block introduced their new Director, Debbie Juris, who started work today. He stated everyone will see her throughout the Village as she introduces herself and coordinates the various functions for the Chamber. Yearly Update Presentation by the Natural Resource Commission. Mary Bush and Grant Gilbert made a presentation concerning the Champion and Heritage Tree Pro- gram which the commission partners with the Morton Grove Historical Society. They stated nominations are being taken and encouraged everyone to forward their choices until Labor Day. They also informed the public of the Honor Program which is planting trees in the parkway as a memorial or remembrance of a special occasion. They went on to state one of the Natural Resource Commission's mission is to support conserva- tion so our resources will be available for future generations. Expected siting process for Lakeshore Transfer Station. Mr. Horne thanked everyone for attending the meeting. He stated there is a lack of an actual application so the EPA declined to attend this meeting. He stated the Village has tried to explain Illinois law and what the siting process is relative to the Illinois Environmental Protection Act, Mr. Horne explained a pollution control facility is a waste storage site and a waste transfer station is a temporary facility used for the transfer of waste and its consolidation for fur- ther transport. Standards for such facilities are set by the Illinois Protection Act. He went on to state local governments then have the authority and the responsibility to al- low or disallow a requested location within their jurisdiction. The Host Community Agreement, which was passed on March 12, 2012, does not state the Village has ap- proved or agreed with any siting application. In reality, the Village is neutral on this mat- ter. If and when an application is made, and if the Village approves the chosen location, and if the EPA issues the permits, and if the operator decides to build, then the transfer operator will pay all the host development fees. It is important to note the Village wants to help protect the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The application will be reviewed in connection with State Statutes once and when it is received. Taxes will be applied uniformly to this station as well. There can be no discrimination. The approval timeline has not been communicated yet; however, it is anticipated the application will be shown to the Village within the next thirty days. Fourteen days will then need to be given after the application is formally made to inform those residents within 250 feet. Ninety to 120 days will then be needed in advance of the public hearings. Once the public hearings conclude, thirty additional days will be given for written comment. A timeline total amounts to around 180 days. He noted traffic patterns must be conducive with the area. If criteria are met, then this site will be approved according to EPA regu- lations. Information has already been disseminated through different media for Village residents to reference. He also noted there have been numerous vermin infestations throughout the Village since 2003 and vermin are not selectively at this site. Mr. Horne then went on to state everyone will be given the opportunity to comment this evening. Trustee Grear reiterated again there has been no application made. If an application is made the Village would hold a public hearing. Corporation Counsel Liston stated the timeline for the application process is on the IEPA website, the Village's website and in a booklet that was handed out to individuals present at the meeting. The timeline may or may not have a prefiling review. The ap- plcation is actually controlled by the applicant. We do not know if or when they are going to file. The siting ordinance states within 14 days before the application is filed they must notify residents within a certain proximity along with state representatives, and then they may file their application. The Village will need to schedule a public hear- ing but a window of not sooner than 90 days and no later than 120 days after the appli- cation is made. A legal notice will be placed in a local paper of general circulation. The public will be given ample notice and public participation will be appreciated. It will probably be in two "Exchanges" and it will be on the Village's website with a question and answer section just as we have done before. Mayor Staackmann stated many laws and restrictions are involved with this process. The Village will be working with special counsel and it hoped we will have additional citi- zen input. He stated he would like to see an ad hoc committee formed that would work with staff on this process. Trustee Marcus stated this is an important matter to the community. He stated the Board is being as transparent as possible. It should be noted this process will take at least six months to come to a conclusion. It was also important to present the host community agreement before anything else could take place. Whatever is going to be done, the Village does not want to spend taxpayer money on research before anything takes place. This host agreement has specifically identified the applicant will cover those costs and not the residents of this community. This also gives the Village the op- portunity to change ordinances that will help to protect the public safety, health and wel- fare of the community. Corporation Counsel then stated prior to the public hearing everyone is invited to submit written statements which will be part of the official record. The public hearing will be more like a formal hearing or trial rather than an informal open meeting. The Village Board will act as legislators and will not participate. They will actually be the determi- nant. Village staff will act as a participant at the hearing and will have a special counsel representing them. They will have consultants who will do an analysis on the statutory criteria which is required to evaluate the siting application. The applicant will be there and other interested parties can register and become a part of the hearing. A hearing officer will provide fundamental fairness for all. Siting applications are very technical and legal decisions can be overturned in court because of bias or not providing proper notifications. Whatever decision is made we need to work so it will be upheld under the fundamental fairness. Thirty days are also given following the hearing for further public comments. If the Board disapprove the location, they will need to state the reasons why it will not be approved. It will then go before the iEPA for their approval. An appeal on any decision can be made by the applicant or any interested party. Trustee DiMaria felt most of the individuals in the audience were present because they are not in favor of a transfer station being constructed in their backyard, and before the Village starts with attorneys and consultants he suggested the Village hold a town hall meeting regarding this issue so everyone can express their opinions before we become involved with this process. He felt it was important to get everyone's thoughts together before we proceed. Corporation Counsel Liston reiterated there has been no application filed so there is nothing prohibiting the Village from holding such a meeting. It is not up to the Village whether the applicant chooses to submit an application. Once the application is made though the Village will not be able to discuss the matter outside the public hearing. It — -- �iN, o72, BOOM�rteetFnm should also be understood the Village cannot tell the applicant they may not make an application. Mayor Staackmann then stated resident comments will be heard following the public hearing on the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Business District. He also wanted everyone to know the Village is trying to follow the law and protect everyone's interest. VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS The purpose of this public hearing is to propose a Dempster/Waukegan Business District. Mayor Staackmann stated the Village has worked with a team of professionals who have ex- tensive experience in establishing TIFs and the Village's goal is to address properties at and surrounding the Prairie View Shopping Center. Mr. Steve Friedman introduced himself and stated he was the president of S.B. Friedman and Company and they have been engaged by the Village to prepare the studies appropriate for the Dempster Waukegan Business District. He stated ultimately the Village is trying to redevelop the corner of Dempster Waukegan and the purpose of developing a business district is to help with that redevelopment, particularly the Prairie View Shopping area. He stated a business district is a special taxing district which for an additional tax to be used for development goals in the area. In order to impose this tax, certain blighting factors need to exist within the district along with lack of growth along with other factors. The tax would not affect the sales of autos, medical supplies, or groceries. The boundaries will be the same as the DempsterAlVaukegan Redevelopment TIF Area. A pro- posed .25% sales tax is being proposed. The budget is $775,000 over that period which is meager. It is intended to supplement the TIF District to help with the overall redevelopment. Following the conclusion of the presentation, there were no questions by the Village Board. There were also no public comments. Trustee DiMana made a motion to close the public hearing. Trustee Toth seconded the mo- tion. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg absent Tr. Grear acre Tr. Marcus gye Tr. Thill aye Tr. Toth aye VII. RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) Various residents spoke concerning the possibility of a transfer station being located within the corporate boundaries of the Village of Morton Grove. There appeared no one present in the audience or who spoke on this occasion was in favor of this facility. The following individuals made the following statements: • Ed Odisho was concerned about the fumes that would emanate from this facility. • Agnes Quinn was opposed to three million tons of garbage being processed through the station and the fumes it would create. • Art LaCroix asked whether this was the only company applying for such a facility. • Cathy Peters stated there was a waste transfer station manual for decision making that was put out by the EPA. She had concerns whether the site being selected was actually large enough and whether there would be enough buffer space. She felt the community would be overburdened by this facility and she had environmental concerns that revolved around the size of the buildings and the size of the vehicles that would be coming and hence leaving the facility on a daily basis. She stated space was at a premium and there is really not enough space for a facility of this magnitude at that location. • Yvette Drazner stated there has been a lack of transparency concerning this project. She reiterated the previously stated concerns and also stated this project will lower property values and bring in rodents. • Chris Bellina felt this was a serious challenge and residents should have the opportunity to vote on this facility, and then the Village needs to do what the majority wants. • Tom Maddex stated he had no knowledge of the transfer station until he received a flyer. He has since met with various staff members and felt information from the Village was vi- tal ® Jim Rosen said he lives 1,000 feet from the site and is skeptical on promises that would be made. He feels his property will be devalued and the odors will be a problem. ® Peter Shire wanted a town hall meeting and also wanted to know why a host agreement was even considered. He also had concerns regarding traffic. ® Barb Messner was also concerned about smells emanating from the facility and rat infes- tation. She also expressed concern about property values and the welfare of the high school children. 6 Abnash Naruia did not want a dumoster in his back yard and felt there were ways to legal- ly stop the transfer station. Bill Luksha felt this was a critical topic and Morton Grove was a bedroom community with little vacant land. He stated Evanston would like to get rid of their transfer station and sug- gested a referendum be placed on the next ballot. He also recommended a town hall meeting be held. ® Anni Henrici referred to a third world city and compared Morton Grove to this community and the garbage dump it will become if the transfer station is allowed to come into the Vil- lage. She was very concerned about the smells she felt would emanate. ® Marcy Donsky agreed with everyone's previous statements. She expressed concern about the young children in the community. She thanked everyone for expressing their opinions. ® Michael Kalodimos also agreed with everyone's opinions. He felt there was a lack of stewardship by the Village Board and they were selling out the Village's future. ® Gil Peters told the Board they should take stops to "squash" this facility. He also stated the press should be ashamed for not covering this issue. He needs openness from the Board and reassurance this facility will not be allowed to be built. He asked the Board to do the right thing for the community. • P. Padget was concerned about there being no notices about the transfer station. He felt the problems were vast. He also felt money should not be a consideration in this matter. ® C. Liberman expressed concern about the children. ® D. Satter stated we got rid of the Wells Manufacturing and their problems. We should be concerned about beautifying Morton Grove. ® Resident (no name given) stated Morton Grove did not need a dump and there was a publication "Top Transfer Suburb — on the Right Track" that should be read by everyone. On another matter: Tim Baker spoke regarding the current 911 dispatch center in Des Plaines and the discus- sion of moving it to Glenview. He was concerned about losing his position, and the general reasons why this was being done. Mayor Staackmann stated there has been no application made for the transfer station as of this date, and consequently there is no process in place. He stated the Village Board cannot take action on something that has not yet happened. XI. three are currently pending. Mr. Falcone also noted the approval process was rigorous and the Village will be more stringent than the state when regulating their use. 2) Miscellaneous Reports and Updates. There were no additional reports or up- dates reported at this time. b. Corporation Counsel Corporation Counsel had no formal report. Trustee DiMaria Trustee DiMaria had no formal report. b. Trustee Gomberg Trustee Gomberg was absent this evening so Trustee Marcus presented the following resolutions and ordinances in his stead. 1} Trustee Marcus presented Resolution 12 -55 authorizing an agreement be- tween the State of Illinois and the Village of (Norton Grove Local Liquor Control Commission to send background fingerprint checks both manual- ly and through the Lifescan fingerprint machine. Trustee Marcus stated an interagency agreement with the State of Illinois for fingerprint checks both ma- nually and through the Lifescan fingerprint machine was being proposed. The Illinois State Police are currently requiring municipalities to enter into these agreements so charges can be recouped for this service. He noted the agree- ment can be canceled at any time, if an alternate service becomes available. There being no discussion, Trustee Marcus moved, seconded by Trustee Thiil, to approve Resolution 12 -58. Motion passed: 5 ayes, d nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg absent Tr. Grear aye Tr. Marcus aye Tr. Thill aye Tr. Toth aye 2) Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 12 -31 amending Title d, Chapter 2S and Chapter 2C of the Municipal Code Entitled Amuse- ments. Trustee Marcus noted this ordinance will prohibit gambling in bowling alleys except as allowed and regulated by Illinois state law. Currently the Vil- lage prohibits gambling of any kind in bowling alleys, but with recent changes in state law, video gaming machines are allowed in liquor licensed establishments but only when licensed and regulated by the state. If a bowling alley in the Vil- lage obtains a state license and becomes compliant with state and local regula- tions, the machines will also become available for this type of operation. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 12 -31 - _ -- MirrAusosc a 3) Trustee Marcus then presented Resolution 12 -59 authorizing an intergo- vernmental agreement with the Village of Glenview for Joint Public Safety Communications Services. In order to save costs, the Police Department is recommending the change from NSECC. In addition to cost savings, this change will also come with additional enhancements such as a high quality computer aided dispatch system and records management system. Trustee Toth asked where were key personnel going to go. It was noted Mr. Baker along with the other employees were actually employed by the City of Des Plaines. It was felt Mr. Baker was an excellent dispatcher and could possibility be hired by the Village of Glenview, however, that would be up to them. There being no additional discussion, Trustee Marcus moved, seconded by Trustee DiMaria, to approve Resolution 12 -59. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria aye Tr. Gomberg absent Tr.

Trustee Grear 1) Trustee Grear presented for a first reading Ordinance 12 -28 which will ap- prove the designation of a business district for the Dempster/Waukegan Redevelopment Project Area. This district would allow the Village to impose a sales tax within the area of .25 %. Revenue collected from this tax would be used to correct the blighting conditions and stimulate redevelopment of vacant, obsolete, or underutilized parcels and provide improvement to public infrastruc- ture. S.B. Friedman has conducted a study and created a development plan for this district. With the approval of this ordinance, the companion Ordinance 12- 32 will need to be approved to impose the taxes within the district. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 12 -28 2) Trustee Grear presented for a first reading Ordinance 12 -32 which will im- pose business district taxes within the Dempster Waukegan Business Dis- trict in the Village. As part of the process to create a Tax Increment Financing District in the area of the Prairie View Shopping Center, this ordinance would au- thorize the imposition and collection of a special sales tax on certain items within the Business District at the rate of .25% of the gross receipts. There was no further discussion of Ordinance 12 -32. 3) Trustee Grear presented Resolution 11 -50 authorizing the Village to acquire property commonly known as 8735 Narragansett. Trustee Grear stated this is a small parcel next to a parcel currently land banked by the Village. The final purchase price for this parcel is $109,000 and the closing will be in the next few weeks following the approval by the Village Board to purchase this parcel. There being no discussion, Trustee Grear moved, seconded by Trustee Toth, to approve Resolution 11 -60. Motion passed: 4 ayes, 1 nay, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria nay Tr. Gomberg absent Tr. Grear 2 Tr. Marcus aye Tr. Thill acre Tr. Toth aye k _ A brief presentation was made by Public Works Assistant Director Joseph Dahm. It was noted the water rates have been raised by 25% by the city of Chicago. The Village has been subsequently asked to join in on several studies which it has declined for al- ternative water sources. These studies range in price from $30,000 to $60,000. It was noted the Village's current water line at the north pumping station is only 1,900 feet from the Northwest Water Commission's line and that could be a viable option for the Village. The Village is also anticipating a proposal from the Village of Glenview. He stated the Village is hopeful we can work out something so overall water bills can remain the same or possibly decrease over time. d. Trustee Marcus 1) Trustee Marcus presented for its second reading Ordinance 12 -25 to amend Title 5, Chapter 13, Article A -3 Entitled Traffic Schedules of the Municipal Code to establish a three -way stop intersection on Lincoln Avenue at the en- trance to the St. Paul Woods Forest Preserve District. With the Homestead De- velopment completed, it has become apparent site issues along Lincoln Avenue could be a potentially dangerous situation. The installation of a three -way stop intersection should help remedy this circumstance. Trustee Marcus moved, seconded by Trustee DiMaria, to approve Ordinance 12 -25.

Toth acre 3) Trustee Marcus presented for a first reading Ordinance 12 -29 amends Title 7, Chapter 1, Article 15B & D entitled Streets and Public Mays of the Munici- pal Code to meet current fees, standards, and policies. In 2004, a policy was developed which disallowed the use of any materials on driveway aprons other than basic concrete and basic hot mix asphalt. Due to the influx of alternate materials such as cobble stones and stamped and dyed materials, this ordin- ance has been developed to reinforce the current policy so there is specific di- rection and enforcement if work needs to be done by the Village in a particular right -of -way where disallowed materials may have been used. The current fee structure has also been updated to increase the permit cost from $10 to $50. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 12 -28, 4) Trustee Marcus presented Resolution 12 -62 authorizing the execution of a contract for the 2012 Street Patching Program. This annual program works to maintain the quality, drainage, and drivability of the streets throughout the Vil- lage.

Hayes Mechanical took over the contract from the previous company that went out of business. Extending Hayes' contract will provide for the efficient operation of heating and cooling equipment in all Village owned buildings. This year, Hayes is continuing to hold pricing at the same rate as fast year. The only exception is the addition of the Isomedix building which is an additional $936 per year for a total outlay of $1,902 per month.

Trustee Thill 1) Trustee Thill presented for its second reading Ordinance 12 -26 granting a special use permit to allow a martial arts school of over 1,000 square feet at the property located at 6103 Dempster. As noted at the July 9, 2012, meeting, this ordinance would allow the school, which exceeds the designated size limitation of 1,000 square feet in the Unified Development Code, to be al- lowed at this location. The Plan Commission unanimously recommended this al- lowance for this use. There being no discussion, Trustee Thill moved, seconded by Trustee Marcus, to approve Ordinance 12 -26. Motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. With the current drought and lack of water, Trustee Thill reminded everyone to please water your trees, grass and sod.

This intergovernmental agreement will allow the Village access to the Comptroller's Local Debt Recovery Program wherein it can collect on outstand- ing Village debt from individuals owing monies to the Village. Once the debtor is identified, any state money owed to that debtor is held for a 60 day confirmation period at which time the debt is either confirmed or rejected. If the debt is con- firmed, the held money will automatically be deposited in the Village's account to cover that outstanding debt. The only cost is a $15 administrative fee on the debtor so the Village will actually receive 100% of outstanding debt owed and collected. Trustee Toth stated the Village is excited and encouraged by this program and it is hoped there will be a good return. There being no discussion, Trustee Toth moved, seconded by Trustee Marcus, to approve Resolution 12 -64. Lotion passed: 5 ayes, 0 nays, 1 absent. Tr. DiMaria afire I r. Gomberg absent Tr.

In March 2010, the Village adopted a vehicle license ordinance which brought the existing code in line with comparable municipalities. In order to continue to be current the following amendments are proposed. They include, an exemption for local automobile dealerships, the inclusion of the state of Illinois language for antique vehicles and making those fees more comparable to state fees; clarifing the re- fund process for sold or junked vehicles; and providing a clearer prorated fee structure. Trustee Grear inquired as to whether the fee to be charged for anti- que vehicles would only be used for those vehicles used in exhibitions and for car shows. It was noted that would be the case. There was no further discussion on Ordinance 12 -30. 11 XII. OTHER BUSINESS NONE XI i I. WARRANTS Trustee Toth presented the Warrant Register for July 23, 2012, in the amount of $858,427.03.
