The public hearing was called pursuant to due and proper legal notice ROAD published in the Daily Herald on May 31, 2012 relative to a proposed Annexation Agreement for the property located at 2101 South Busse Road. Community Development Director Bill Cooney presented an overview of the proposed area of annexation; 14.1 acres of land. The owner currently operates multiple waste hauling and office uses on the Subject Property and is seeking annexation to the Village. Mr. Cooney stated the proposed annexation will promote the sound planning and development of the Village. As drafted, the agreement would enable ARC to operate their waste hauling facility in the same manner they have in Cook County for the past several decades. The agreement would grandfather several existing non - conforming zoning matters such as lot coverage and setbacks. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 6 of 13 Mayor and Board of Trustees June 19, 2012 of the Village of Mount Prospect If the Village Board approves the agreement, the petitioner would then move forward with an application for a text amendment to create a new 12 Waste Hauling District, a map amendment to rezone their properties to the new 12 zoning classification and any necessary variances to address existing conditions on the Subject property. While recognizing the property is a waste and transfer facility, Trustee Juracek stated the condition of the property is pretty rough.

Public Comment Mike Nelson, Fire Chief Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District Fire Chief Nelson raised several questions regarding the Village's recent actions to annex property currently serviced by the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District. He indicated the annexation of ARC will put a wedge in the middle of Busse Road; area served by the fire district and significantly impact the fire district's revenue.

He referenced the previous, failed annexation of properties in this area. Mr. Ken Kubiesa, attorney for ARC Disposal, responded he was unaware of the annexation history but ARC Disposal is prepared to pay the amount of compensation required by state statute to the fire district. Village Board Comments -Annexations are voluntary; concerned with Fire Chief Nelson's suggestion that Village may be doing something questionable to annex these properties. -Fire District should ask business why they are seeking annexation. -Cook County objective; increase annexation of unincorporated properties. -Village has also annexed property in Wheeling Township.

In response to Trustee Matuszak's request for clarification on vacation of roadways, Mr. Cooney stated the details for vacation are to be flushed out; easement will be part of annexation. Trustee Polit stated the deterioration of the roadways is due to Cook County's failure to maintain. Public Works Director Sean Dorsey stated since de- annexation of the properties the Village has spent no money to maintain these roads; no one has claimed ownership. ARC has agreed to take over Kenneth Drive.

Assistant Village Manager Strahl provided background information relative to Ordinance No. 5761 which was adopted by the Village Board in 2009 in response to the Video Gaming Act. The existing ordinance established a moratorium on the use of said terminals within Mount Prospect until such time as the State Gaming Board (SGB) issues final rules pursuant to the Act. The SGB has indicated it will be promulgating rules covering the operation and oversight of said devices in August or September. The proposed ordinance is presented for Village Board discussion and to decide whether to allow or prohibit the licensing of video poker terminals in eligible Mount Prospect liquor establishments. Mayor Wilks provided a comprehensive overview of the Act as well as her own extensive review of the Act. Of particular concern was the lack of protection the Act provides to municipalities should a municipality choose to allow video gaming terminals. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 9 of 13 Mayor and Board of Trustees June 19, 2012 of the Village of Mount Prospect Local municipalities have very little ability regarding regulation and enforcement; maximum fine for violators is $5,000, municipalities cannot revoke license. Municipalities faced with an all or nothing option; accept all aspects of video gaming or prohibit all video gaming. Some municipalities may be tempted to allow gambling in the hopes of increased revenue. Village Board Comments -Opinion has not changed since 2009 discussion; no benefit to municipality. -Gaming Board has provided no information on how video gaming terminals will be regulated or rules enforced. -Gaming Board website lists which municipalities have accepted /rejected video gaming; only community in this area to accept is Prospect Heights. -Sad when government needs to seek funds through gambling. -Concern regarding sufficient regulation; make sure everyone is playing by the same rules. -Does not support raising funds in this manner to balance budget. -Only good thing about legalized video gaming is that with regulations it eliminates illegal gambling terminals. -Video gaming does nothing positive for the community or individuals. -Individuals with gambling issues — negatively impact well -being of individuals /families. ■ Implementation of Gaming Act; act of sheer desperation by Gaming Board. -Legislators protecting the gambling industry; very little concern for municipalities. -Sense citizens of Mount Prospect do not want gaming video terminals. Assistant Village Manager Strahl stated similar to the Citizen Survey conducted in 2009 the Village will again solicit resident input with an on -line survey on the Village's web -site. The Village will also advise local businesses eligible for the terminals about the Village's discussion and decision making process. To allow for public comment from both residents and local businesses Mayor Wilks asked that this item be held for a second (2 at the July 17, 2012 Village Board meeting. Trustee Zadel and Trustee Korn expressed their support to hold the ordinance for a second (2 Village committed to giving businesses the opportunity to communicate with the Village Board on this matter before final action.

Throughout the potential four -year term of the proposed contract (initial award and three (3) one - year extensions), the OPIS low rack price may rise and fall on a daily basis but the amount of money paid to Palatine Oil Company as profit /overhead would not change; remain fixed at $0.0475 over the OPIS low rack price for unleaded and $0.0575 for #2 bio- diesel.

As part of the purchasing process the Police Department compared office furniture offered both by Warehouse Direct Office Products and Business Office Systems. All factors being equal, including quality of product and service, the proposal from Warehouse Direct was $55,076 compared to Business Office Solutions at $48,925. Business Office Solutions was able to offer the Village the competitive bid pricing from U. S. Communities National Sale Agreement Pricing. Staff request is for approval to waive the Village's bid process and purchase furniture through Business Office Systems at the U. S. Communities National Sales Agreement Pricing Competitive bid process in an amount not to exceed $48,925. Trustee Hoefert asked for clarification as to why two (2) proposals were solicited if pricing from a competitive bid process similar to the State of Illinois bid process was available. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 12 of 13 Mayor and Board of Trustees June 19, 2012 of the Village of Mount Prospect Police Chief Semkiu stated for comparative purposes proposals from these two (2) vendors were sought: (1) the Village had used both businesses in the past and (2) both had participated in competitive bid process through NWMC. Trustee Polit stated Trustee Hoefert raised an important issue regarding the acceptance of bid pricing through other agencies. He questions whether the State always gets the best pricing; likes that the Village goes out to find other competitive pricing to make sure Village is getting the best price. Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved to approve request to waive the Village's bid process and purchase furniture through Business Office Systems at the U. S. Communities National Sales Agreement Pricing Competitive bid process in an amount not to exceed $48,925.
