RESIDENTS' COMMENTS (Agenda Items Only) (continued) Mr. Burkhardt said that he is the Chair of the Fair Housing Committee, a subcommittee of the Community Relations Commission. He thanked the mayor and the Commission's trustee liaisons, Trustees Marcus and Thill, as well as the other Board members and Village staff, for their support of fair housing in Morton Grove. He said the Commission envisions tonight's proclamation as an encouragement to the Commission to continue working on ways to assist the Village in doing an even better job of addressing housing issues that challenge Morton Grove and virtually every community these days. Mr. Burkhardt said that, last fall, Open Communities (formerly Interfaith Housing) had done an audit of housing discrimination for the Village. A copy of that report was given to each Board member and the Village Administrator. The report indicated that the audit found no outward signs of racial discrimination in rental testing. The Village ought to be proud of this. At the same time, the audit found that, like most other towns, the Village needs to pay attention to persons with disabilities. Mr. Burkhard said that Morton Grove is a diverse community and a good place to live. Some of its challenges, however, include foreclosures, lack of rental properties, the need for more knowledge about programs that can assist first -time home buyers. The Fair Housing Committee is working on ways to provide information or workshops for the Village and potential residents. The Community Relations Commission looks forward to working with the Board and staff, and encourages residents to offer suggestions on what the Commission could do to address these important and timely housing matters. VIII. PRESIDENT'S REPORT Mayor Staackmann read three proclamations: He proclaimed the month of April 2013 as "Sexual Assault Awareness Month," noting that all individuals must work together to educate everyone in the community about what can be done to prevent sexual assault, as well as how to support the many survivors. Mayor Staackmann said the Village strongly supports the efforts of national, state, and local partners, and of every citizen, to actively engage in public and private efforts to prevent sexual violence. 2. Next, Mayor Staackmann proclaimed April 2013 as "National Fair Housing Month" in the Village. The proclamation establishes Morton Grove as an open and inclusive community committed to fair housing. 3. Lastly, Mayor Staackmann proclaimed April 2013 as "National Donate Life Month." He said that the need for organ donors is greater than ever before, with more than 110,000 Americans awaiting an organ transplant. He urged everyone to renew their commitment to addressing this urgent public health issue, to ensure that every individual has access to the care and services they should have.

Village Administrator Horne assured the assemblage that the Village is taking the matter of the Beckwith /Shermer intersection seriously. 2.

Mr. Horne then introduced Sharon Durling from the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative, a leader in electrical aggregation in Illinois. They worked on Morton Grove's aggregation efforts, as well as 96 other communities in the State. Ms. Durling was present this evening to provide some results of Morton Grove's aggregation.

Trustee Thill asked if there was anything on the horizon in terms of aggregation for gas. Ms. During said that her organization only deals with electrical aggregation.

The parties have agreed to extend those terms for one additional year and provide a salary increase of 2% to be effective for fiscal year 2013, effective January 1, 2013.

Lastly, Trustee Thill presented Resolution 13 -21, Authorizing the Execution of a Contract With H &H Electric Company For the Traffic Signal and Street Lighting Maintenance Program. He explained that the Village is responsible for 10 traffic signals and all of the Village -owned street lights. It is more cost - effective to hire a contractor to maintain these. The contract is for basic routine maintenance; however, an additional amount of $50,000 per year is expected for emergency services, such as when a traffic light or street light pole is knocked down in a crash or other unforeseeable event. The Village is reimbursed by the State for maintaining IDOT- owned traffic signals and street lights, but to be reimbursed, the Village is required to bid the contract according to State requirements. Three bids were received, and H &H Electric Company of Franklin Park, Illinois, was determined to be the lowest responsible bidder. The estimated contract value is $24,849.48, but the estimated contract amount (including the contingency for emergency services) is $80,000.

Finance Director Remy Navarrete responded that only one of the two Walgreens located in Morton Grove has a revenue - sharing agreement with the Village. In answer to Trustee Thill's additional query, that revenue - sharing agreement will be over in 2013. Trustee Thill also asked about the revenue - sharing agreement that CVS has with the Village. Ms. Navarrete said that agreement runs for another two years. Trustee Thill asked why the Village used two elevator companies, Schindler Elevator Corporation and Collely Elevator Company. Mr. DeMonte replied that Schindler Elevator is proprietary and the other company is cheaper. -" - Minutes of March 25, 2013 Board Meeting. XIII.

RESIDENTS' COMMENTS Steve Muldavan, a 14 -year resident, was concerned about the Village's animal license fees. He has three cats, and has to pay $25 each for license fees. He said he had called some of the surrounding towns, and learned that the Village's fees are more than double others. He said he was told that the reason the Village's fees are so high is because it needs to "offset" the cost of the animal control position. He felt strongly that residents should not have to pay for a full -time position. He said he moved to Morton Grove for its affordability and his property taxes have increased significantly. Eric Poders spoke about safety concerns related to Metra and the Morton Grove train station. He said that he submitted a Freedom of Information request to Matra which took two months for a response; he felt that was a violation of the Freedom of Information Act. Now apparently there are other investigations going on regarding Metra. Mr. Poders reiterated that safety is paramount, especially in this area, which has a large population of seniors. XV.

The Redevelopment Agreement will fulfill the essential goals of the Lehigh/Ferris TIF District which include the redevelopment of the Metra station area.

Once the new building is constructed and Pequod's Pizza Restaurant is relocated to 6401 Chestnut, Mr. Jackson will sell his property commonly known as 8520 and 8522 Fernald Avenue to the Village. The new Pequod's Pizza Restaurant will also have a non - exclusive right to use commuter parking spaces within the area free - of- charge after 5:00 pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays.
