Consideration Of Agenda Items During The Workshop Meeting Portion Of The Combined Meeting
1) Public works and water-Trustee Allen
A) Lawn Avenue Board Presentation
Trustee Allen said the Public Works and Water Committee report would begin with an update on the Lawn Avenue project by Municipal Services Coordinator Biernacki. Coordinator Biernacki presented the details of the 2018 Lawn Avenue reconstruction project, from Burlington Avenue to just north of the Elm Street intersection, which is one of the portions of the roadways the Village is reconstructing this year. The purpose of the presentation is to focus on the Central Business District portion of the project. It is primarily a roadway maintenance project but because it is taking place in the Central Business District, we are utilizing this project to start some streetscape improvements in the downtown area. The Village is focusing our streetscape design on the Downtown Redevelopment Plan that was completed in 2011 and the Downtown Revitalization Project that was completed in 2016. These are the two documents the Village is using to plan our streetscape project but we are not utilizing them to implement all of the elements in this particular project. This means the Village will be putting in concrete pavers and raised concrete curb bedding but not way finding signs and kiosks or bike racks in this portion of the project. The Village will be using this project to put in the foundations for those items. When funding becomes available, the Village will be able to come back and add those items without disturbing the area. An interactive presentation and discussion of the parameters of the project followed.
Mr. Biernacki said the end result will be two 11 ' driving lanes along Lawn Avenue with many safety improvements for pedestrians incorporated into the design. The net change to parking will be to modify one standard parking space to a handicapped parking space. The project is expected to commence just after the 4th of July with completion anticipated in August 2018. The East Platform project is expected to be complete in mid to late June so both projects will not be happening at the same time. Three trees will be coming down, a 20" diameter tree in moderate condition, and one each, sized 8" and 6" in diameter, in less than moderate condition. Mr. Biernacki added that while we are losing these three mature trees, the plan is to plant many new trees in the area to replace the three which will be lost. Mr. Biernacki said the overall feedback from business owners has been positive. The project includes improved pedestrian space for individuals.
Mr. Biernacki noted that the reconstruction project is funded by roadway referendum and sewer funding and includes flat work such as concrete and brick. Staff will be looking for beautification dollars in the future for benches and way finding signs to complete desirable improvements. The project also extends just north of Elm Street and is a typical residential project in that area. Trustee Allen added that the other large project planned for this year is Johnson Avenue.
B) IEPA Loan Projects Status Update
Trustee Allen presented an update on the IEPA loan request. The Village's loan request is for $5 million or so from the IEPA. The loan is a low rate program which will be used for various projects including repainting the two water towers in 2019 and 2020 as well as for new Well #5. The Village is still tying down the numbers on those projects and obtaining final approval.
Trustee Allen said some new information is available to share with the Board about the three potential Well #5 locations and the ?pit less? design. The good news is that the structure has a much smaller footprint than originally anticipated. There are still trade-offs between locations and with a 24 hour vs. 8 hour drilling work day approach.
An interactive discussion on the three potential locations for Well #5 in Field Park followed. Mr. Biernacki said Baxter & Woodman has indicated the 24 hour drilling period would be required on an intermittent basis for 4 to s weeks. The 8 hour approach would be more expensive. Staff will work with the School District and the Park District on the final Well #5 location. All parties would like to try to reduce the need for tree removal. Additional considerations are the noise impact to residents, the look of the site, which will include considerations around conditions with drilling 1 000' feet into the ground, tree removal, activities in the park, and the site location in relation to the water plant. Clausen Avenue is on the docket for road repair in the near term and there is significant water main underneath it. The Village has heard from the Park Board that they are interested in making Clausen Avenue a contiguous park from east to west. Trustee Allen said this is something to consider with all the other variables to optimize and find the best solution in Field Park. Mr. Biernacki said a range of the cost difference between 24 and 8 hour drilling will be coming for the Board's consideration. Director Supert and Coordinator Biernacki will be making field trips to the potential sites. Engineer Ziegler added that staff will be looking at the design and more details later this summer. Mr. Biernacki said a good comparison of the necessary equipment on the site of the new Well #5 is the green cabinet located outside the water plant.
C) Capital Summary Report
Trustee Allen said the format of the capital summary report will be tweaked to clearly communicate construction versus engineering costs and gross versus net project costs as well as carryover costs when projects extend over more than one year. Trustee Allen said there was an in-depth discussion about cost for the Ridgewood Oaks Basin project. Trustee Allen clarified that the cost of the Ridgewood Oaks Basin project is $424,000 for construction and engineering costs and is intended to improve flooding in the south part of town. This is a cost sharing project with the Ridgewood Oaks HOA. Trustee Allen said the majority of residents involved in the Rose/Garden water main project have opted to hire their own contractor/plumber for the work from the buffalo box into their house. The overall numbers in the capital summary project report will change significantly since the homeowner's cost portion from buffalo box to house is removed. The objective to move the water main accessibility to the front from the rear yards, to be consistent with the rest of the Village, will remain.
D) Vehicle Purchase - 2019 International 7400 Dump Truck
E) Vehicle Purchase - 2019 Vactor 2100i
Trustee Allen noted that some favorable cost reduction versus budget for these two vehicle purchases are anticipated from three areas: a favorable price variance, the trade-in price for the Vactor, and in house assembly of the Vactor. This could result in savings of approximately $120,000 of the total anticipated $1 million dollars previously indicated as necessary. Trustee Allen suggested the Village use this savings to prepay the promissory note obligation. The promissory note was approved at the April 23, 2018 meeting in the amount of $1 million. President Gallagher said that is a consideration but we must be sure the Village has the funds needed. The note includes a no prepayment penalty clause. Trustee Allen said if the Village utilizes the prepayment, interest savings of approximately $20,000 might be possible. Manager Velkme said she discussed this matter earlier today with Director Turi and that prepayment is something which staff will look at once the purchases have been made. Trustee Tymick asked what interest savings would result from prepayment. Trustee Allen said he calculated the interest savings to be about $20,000.
2) Properties And Recreation - Trustee Hansen
A) Capital Summary Report
Trustee Hansen reported that work on the East Train Platform pro5ect is coming along nicely and is expected to be complete in mid-June. Work on the landscaping and the lights is ongoing. Work commenced in earnest on May 1, 2018. The Bemis Bike Path project, from Ogden Avenue into Bemis Woods, is pending and the alternate path idea the Board discussed at the last meeting was presented to the Cook County Forest Preserve. As of today, the Village has not heard back from Cook County. The Water Tower door and the Fire Department HVAC projects are both slated for fall.
B) Recreation Center and Grand Avenue Roof Bid Results
Trustee Hansen reported on the two April 19, 2018 bid openings which pertained to replacement of the roofs at the Recreation Center and Grand Avenue Center. The work will take place in September which provided a benefit to the Village in terms of favorable cost. The Village received nine bids on the Recreation Center pro3ect. The apparent low bidder for both the base bid and alternate is Crowther Roofing & Sheet Metal of Romeoville, IL. The low base bid price of $295,141.16 is l 6% lower than the estimated budget price of $350,000. This is primarily a result of the timing of the work. The committee recommended an award of the bid to Crowther for the cold applied system (base bid). The cold applied system came in within budget and is a better approach from a safety perspective.
The Grand Avenue roof re-coating over the Senior Center is a smaller and simpler project. The low bidder for this project is Ridgeworth Roofing of Frankfort, IL. The committee recommended an award of bid to Ridgeworth Roofing as the low bidder at a total cost for this project of $9,148.39.
The funding for both of these projects will come out of the Recreation Fund. Staff budgeted $185,000 for the Recreation Center roof and $20,000 for the Grand Avenue roof. The committee recommended approval of both projects with an understanding that Director Alden will submit a request for a budget amendment to make up the difference in total cost. The Recreation Fund has a surplus of approximately $500,000 and the required budget amendment will be $11 o,ooo. Award of both bids will be added to the May 21, 2018 omnibus vote list.
C) Flagg Creek Greenway Update
In March or April 2018, the Board talked about the Flagg Creek Greenway. The Village was awarded a grant for the Flagg Creek Greenway by the West Central Municipal Conference to be constructed in 201 8/20 19. If the Village does not spend this grant money, we will lose this money and WCMC may not look so favorably upon the Village when we apply for future grants. The Flagg Creek Greenway would be constructed from Plainfield Road north to 54'h and Fair Elms lift station and would be a pedestrian enhancement for the Village. Bikes would also be on the Greenway along with pedestrians. Trustee Hansen said the committee felt the Village should have a public meeting on this project but the committee would like to know if the Board would like to go forward with this project and what the Board thoughts are on the Greenway. President Gallagher reiterated that going forward would mean a public meeting to gather resident comments. Trustee Hansen said the Greenway would require landscaping, lights and security cameras and would be for the enjoyment of all Village residents who wish to walk or bike along that area. Trustee Tyrrell asked if this was the project the Board considered last spring before he and the other new Board members were seated. Trustee Hansen said there was a little bit of a misunderstanding last year when this pro3ect was discussed in 2017. Last year, it was presented that the Greenway would go from 55'h Street north to 47'h Street and would be literally behind peoples' homes. The Flagg Creek Greenway grant money is for a Greenway from 54fh Street and Fair Elms, south to Plainfield. Some residents would be impacted by the Greenway. President Gallagher added that the Greenway would be west of Flagg Creek and not directly behind homes.
Trustee Siffernnann added that he had attended the Properties & Recreation Committee meeting and after seeing the difference between a Greenway and a bike path, he believes there is appeal in all components of this proposed Greenway. The Greenway is worth further consideration and he is happy that our plans will include outreach to the public for their opinion on this exciting project. Trustee Tymick said he would support going forward as well with the revised route. Trustee Allen said he agreed as well that it makes sense to get resident feedback especially to those most directly impacted. Trustee Allen asked if it is still the original concept to go all the way from Plainfield to 47th Street and in phases. If that is the case, then he thinks it should include Forest Hills, Commonwealth, Ridgewood and Timber Trails' residents because they are all going to be impacted by this. Trustee Hansen said at this time, she does not think the Greenway will go beyond the 54th Street lift station. Trustee Hansen said the grant covers only that portion south of 54th Street. Trustee Hansen said we are also still going to have to consider the upcoming Tollway work and what is going to happen there.
President Gallagher said the Tollway has indicated they may potentially help the Village with this project as well. Because of the large amount of resident pushback on continuing the Greenway north of 54'h Street, she believes we are abandoning the idea of continuing along Flagg Creek. Whether we direct people to Wolf Road or Central, is something that still has to be explored. Engineer Ziegler said the Greenway would be located on Village property and Tollway property but would have permanent or temporary easements impressed upon the property which allow the pathway to exist. The Village has already had preliminary discussions with the Tollway about this path because it has been in our plans for quite some time. Discussion included whether or not the Tollway would be operating in that area, permanent easements and an exchange of ideas. Engineer Ziegler said the Tollway has indicated they like projects such as this which is an alternative to having all the cars on the roadway during their project so it's actually a good thing. The Tollway encouraged the Village to move forward and said they would work with the Village to allow us to occupy the property. Trustee Allen said there is an area in the far west end of the Timber Trails property, on the west side of the creek. Engineer Ziegler said in that particular area there is a storm water detention facility, but it is directly connected to the Tollway area. It is immediately adjacent to it. There is already a path along the west side that was created to access and maintain the detention facility. There is also a bridge there which the Timber Trails developer built. There will be access to the entire Timber Trails path system from there on out and one could potentially have access to the corner of Wolf Road and Plainfield.
3) Finance - Trustee Rudolph
A) Thomas Ford Memorial Library Referendum and Library Referendum Bonds
Director Bodewes provided a brief overview of the upcoming Thomas Ford Memorial Library project which is made possible by funds approved by residents on March 20, 2018 by referendum. The Village will issue $2 million in general obligation bonds to complete interior renovations of the Thomas Ford Memorial Library. The scope of this project includes renovations to all areas of the Library interior. The exterior and structural components of the Library will not be changed.
The Library Board requests that the Village Board vote to approve an ordinance which would allow the sale of these bonds and begin the process that will permit the Library to proceed with the renovation plan. The bond sale is planned for May 21, 2018 with an award of bid for the bond sale at the May 21, 2018 Board meeting. Construction is anticipated to begin in January 2019 and end in the summer of 2019. Director Bodewes steered interested parties to the Thomas Ford Memorial Library website for additional information about this project.
Speir Financial Inc. representative Brenda Houston provided an overview of the bond sale process and fielded questions from the Board on the anticipated interest rate and overall interest in these bonds based on the Village's financial position.
B) Budget Amendment and Transfer
Trustee Rudolph presented a budget amendment and transfer request. Director Turi advised the Village establish a means of tracking and reporting on Village spending on the Tollway project. Director Turi is proposing a budget amendment to do so to track the engineering and legal costs to date and other costs going forward. The committee recommended approval of the resolution approving the request on the May 21, 2018 omnibus vote list.
There is a second proposed amendment to close out fiscal year 2017 where we are looking to transfer out funds from the Special Purpose Reserve Fund to the respective projects funds. The amendment includes a transfer to the Burlington Northern Fund for the Village's portion of the East Platform pro3ect. Others include the E91 1 in the General Fund for the LTACC and one to the Right-of-way Fund for costs associated to the Bemis Woods Bike Path project.
C) Police Pension Fund Meeting
Trustee Rudolph provided notice that the Police Pension Board will be meeting on Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 7:00 p.m.
4) Public Health And Safety - Trustee Siffermann
A) Promotional Process Update
Trustee Siffermann shared information from Chief Kenny regarding the Paid on Call (POC) Fire Lieutenant promotional process. This was a very comprehensive process that included a lot of interaction not only with the officers on staff but also from the assessment center, the Illinois Fire Chief s Association, which participated in this. There were seven candidates that were identified and through the various testing phases, three of the candidates find themselves on the promotion list for the Paid on Call Lieutenant position whenever that becomes available. Most likely that will be with the possible notice of a retirement in January. Chief Kenny said he is very proud of all of them and that the Illinois Chief s Assessment Center made a point to contact him and said the assessors rarely, if ever, come out and encounter people that are competing for a position that show the type of teamwork these individuals displayed. Chief Kemiy said he is not surprised by this but this is a wonderful thing to hear.
B) National Police Week Proclamation-May 13 thru May 19

D) Other
5) General Government - Trustee Tymick
A) Theatre of Western Springs Liquor License Request
Trustee Tymick presented a request from the Theatre of Western Springs for a class 'T' liquor license for their "Cheers to 90 Years? event scheduled for Saturday, June 17, 2018, from 6:30 until 11:00 p.m. The event would be very similar to past Taste of the Arts and last year's “Midsummer Night's Celebration” which served as fundraisers and were approved by the Village Board. No problems were reported at previous events. The General Government Committee reviewed the request and recommended approval of the issuance of the liquor license. The approval will be added to the May 21, 2018 omnibus vote list.
B) St. John of the Cross Liquor and Raffle License Request
Trustee Tymick reported that the General Government Committee met on May 3, 2018 to review a request from St. John of the Cross Parish for a liquor license and raffle license for their Family Fest event which is scheduled on June 21- 24, 2018. St. John of the Cross Representative Dave Bennett presented the particulars of this year's event to the committee. The Fest will be similar to previous years with a few new vendors and one food truck on each day of the event. The Fest features a carnival, live music and food. The committee recommended Board approval of the liquor and raffle license request. The approval of the liquor and raffle licenses as well as the temporary use permit approval for the carnival was added to the omnibus vote list set for May 21, 2018.
C) Small Cell Legislation
Trustee Tymick provided the Board with information on the Small Wireless Facility Deployment Act which was signed into law in April. The Act has the primary goal of allowing the telecommunications industry to roll out a 5G telecommunications network in the next several years with minimal input by local governments regarding the placement of small cell installations. To comply with the Act and to provide the Village with some leeway, Attorney Jurusik is drafting a code amendment ordinance that regulates small cell installations within the Village. A resident has reached out to Manager Velkrne with some concern on this matter. The draft ordinance will be provided to the Board in the near future for the Board' s consideration of approval before August 1, 2018 to best protect Western Springs' interests.
D) Administrative Hearing Process to Evaluate Claims under Public Safety Employee Benefits Act (PSEBA)
Trustee Tymick said the PSEBA Act gives police and fire personnel some added coverage or protection in the event they are involved in some sort of event where they have a catastrophic injury or even death, for their benefactors. Based on some case law in 2017, it was made known that municipalities such as Western Springs would have the power to establish a local administrative procedure to determine how an event like this would be handled if it did come up and how, through a hearing process, the Village would establish the extent of the injuries. Village Attorney Jurusik provided the General Government Committee with a draft ordinance which amends Village Code to add PSEBA Benefit Administration with regard to administrative procedures for assessing and determining claims under the Public Safety Benefits Act. PSEBA essentially provides a continuation of health care for any police officer who is catastrophically injured in the line of duty while responding to an emergency. Attorney Jurusik explained the need for this code amendment which allows for a separate administrative process for the Village in these situations. The General Government Committee discussed the merits of adopting this ordinance and concurred with the modification to Village code. The committee recommended the Board approve the ordinance effectuating the Code amendments on omnibus on May 21, 2018. With no objection from the Board, the ordinance will be added to that omnibus vote list.
6) Planning And Zoning - Trustee Tyrrell
Foxford Station
Trustee Tyrrell provided the Board with an update on Foxford Station. With the improved weather, the developer has been able to pour concrete on the first and second floors. There is electrical service and other work is ongoing. The contractor is now preparing to build the second, third and fourth floors soon. They will also be installing the steel framework and floors. Weather permitting, the work will begin by the end of May.
Other Business:
There was no additional business.
Consideration Of And Action On Agenda Items During The Special Meeting Portion Of The Combined Meeting

Trustee Tymick said the process this evening will be to take two separate motions to approve the repeal of the minimum wage and the sick leave parts of the Village's current ordinance. Approval of those motions will then create a single, new amendment which will go into Village code which will put both the Cook County minimum wage and sick leave into our code. For ease and a little less complexity, one ordinance will be adopted.
