A Resolution authorizing execution of a lease agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect and Parkway Bank and Trust for the property located at 1709 -1713 West Algonquin Road. LEASE AGREEMENT Mayor Wilks presented a resolution authorizing execution of a lease agreement between the 1709 -17123 WEST Village of Mount Prospect and Parkway Bank and Trust for the property located at 1709 -1713 ALGONQUIN ROAD West Algonquin Road. This resolution authorizes execution of a lease agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect and Parkway Bank and Trust for the Community Connections Center located at 1709 -1713 West Algonquin Road. Village Manager Janonis provided background information stating the Village has successfully operated the Community Connections Center for close to three (3) years. While entering the lease renewal process the Village was notified that an adjacent 1,200 square foot space in the Crystal Court Shopping Center was available if the Community Connections Center partners were interested in expanding. Since its inception the center has proven to be a highly used and valuable resource in the community serving an increasing number of residents. The center which currently operates in the original 2,400 facility is at maximize usage and the additional space would alleviate the cramped conditions of the programs /services offered by the Community Connections Center partners. Mr. Janonis stated the cost for the build -out of the additional space would be covered by grant money. There will be no increase in Village personnel; partners providing services will be able to expand programs. Mayor Wilks stated the Community Connections Center was highly successful, a well used resource; amazing how many programs /services are provided in such a small area. Trustee Matuszak asked several questions regarding the financial impact to the Village if the additional space was added. While he recognizes the benefit of the center, Trustee Matuszak questioned the timing of a new expenditure after the Village made significant budget reductions that eliminated other programs. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 5 of 10 Mayor and Board of Trustees April 3, 2012 of the Village of Mount Prospect Village Manger Janonis provided the following in response to Trustee Matuszak's questions regarding the actual cost for the expansion. The Village's overall increase for the additional space would be approximately $14,000; the Village and Mount Prospect Public Library share in the cost of the space — Village 2/3 and Library 1/3. He added the grant award will offset the cost for build -out of the additional space. Village Manager Janonis stated if the space was not vacant the Village would not be seeking expansion. The timing is right to take advantage of the additional space; once the lease agreement is signed the strip center will be at 100% occupancy. The property owner views the center as a positive addition to the strip center and area. Village Board Comments Trustee Hoefert stated he understands the budgetary concerns. He then noted the value of the center highlighting the tremendous job the center does in delivering services to this area of the community; the Center facilitates inclusion for our diverse community. The Community Connections Center heads off a number of other issues. The additional funds not used for programming; require separate discussion. Village Board is very frugal and as part of the process makes decisions on what expenditures are more important. Trustee Juracek stated the Center is very successful and well used. The additional space gained for $14,000 will provide a far more efficient delivery of services. The Village needs to have services in that location; preventative presence we have there is valuable. Expansion is most efficient, compassionate and appropriate step in serving a diverse community. Trustee Korn stated expansion is relative to the vacancy of adjacent space; modest increase in rent. The opportunity to provide additional area for programming is investment in future generations; gives more space to partners providing services and programs. Approval of funds for expansion does not authorize funding for additional programming or personnel. Trustee Polit stated he shares the concern about spending "new" money. While the rent increase may appear modest if the Village Board continues to add more money to that list the cost could become significant. Important to have discussion about expenditures not in current budget. He recognizes the number of services the center provides including distribution site for donated food; concern is specific to spending of new money and potential for other expenditures. Trustee Matuszak stated he did not question the value or use of the center; his reservations are with the spending of money when the community has already been impacted by the loss of other important services and programs. In response to questions from the Village Board, Village Manager Janonis and Mr. Erb provided the following: -Discussion during budget process; funds set aside for Community Connections Center; $95,000. -Grant money available for build -out. -If all the $95,000 is not spent; balance will go back into Capital Improvement Fund. Trustee Hoefert suggested if funds remain, consideration should be given to making necessary improvements at the existing center. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved for approval of Resolution No. 06 -12: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A LEASE AGREEMENT RES 06 -12 BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT AND PARKWAY BANK AND TRUST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1709 -1713 WEST ALGONQUIN ROAD Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Wilks Nays: Matuszak, Polit Motion carried.

Village Board Comments -Life safety vehicles are essential — support purchase of new ambulance. -New ambulance has up to date technology -Appreciate Fire Department finding creative ways to save Village money; private sale of current vehicle and pre - payment discount. In response to questions from the Village Board, Fire Chief Malcolm provided information regarding the condition of the modular box, mounting of the chassis and delivery of the old vehicle.
