COONEY JR., DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: AUGUST 27, 2003 SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE VACATION OF CERTAIN RIGHT OF WAY AND THE SALE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY AND RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLAT OF VACATION FOR CERTAIN RIGHT OF WAY. Attached to this memorandum are copies of an ordinance that authorizes the vacation and sale of the west half of the Sunset Road right-of-way between Edgewood Lane and Roberts Drive and a resolution approving a Plat of Vacation for this public right-of-way. The owners of 809 and 901 S. Edgewood Lane approached the Village to determine if we would consider vacating the subject right-of-way that is unimproved and adjacent to their property. After discussing the matter, the Village Board agreed to vacate the property and sell it at market value as determined by a real estate appraisal. The Village hired Malone Appraisal Company to appraise the land and it was determined that it was worth $50,000 undeveloped. Both property owners agreed to purchase the property at this price (the 901 Edgewood parcel was reduced $5,000 to cover the cost of relocating utilities) and staff has completed the Plat of Vacation to achieve this. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their meeting on September 2, 2003. Staff will be present at that meeting to further discuss this matter. 'liam J. ¢o(~n~y Jr.[ ' LAT OF VACATION ROAD vwl 8/12~03 ORDINANCE NO.

JANONIS ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST AUGUST 13, 2003 PARKING FEE INCREASE Background: Village staff made a presentation to the Village Board at the July 8, 2003 Committee of the Whole meeting concerning an increase in the daily parking fee. Staff recommended a $.50 increase bringing daily fees to $1.50. The reasoning for the recommendation included the increasing armual deficit in the parking fund due to increasing cost of maintaining the parking lots without a proportionate increase in revenues. In addition, the daily parking fee has not been addressed in the past fifteen years and a number of capital improvement projects like the construction of the Village Hall parking garage will greatly increase the parking maintenance cost in the near future. This information is covered in the June 13 memo entitled "Commuter Parking Fee Increase" (attached) presented to the Board at the aforementioned COW meeting. The Village Board asked staff to research the cost of inflation over the past fifteen years, the durability of the debit card that will be used in the new automated parking boxes and parking fees charged by private lots. Discussion: The Village Board requested that Village staffresearch the cost of inflation dating back to 1988. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics a daily parking £ee o£$1.00 in 1988 is equivalent to a daily parking fee of $1.55 in 2003. The Board also raised concerns over the debit card technology, which incorporates a magnetic strip on the back o£the debit card. The manugacturer of thc debit card stated that they have never encountered any major problems with the cards malganctioning aside from an occasional de£ect to a specific card. The company stated that i£the user of the debit card uses the card as intended no problems should arise. The Village has one privately owned lot, which is located on Maple Street behind Busse Car Wash, charging a daily gee o£$2.50. Currently there is on street parking located on Prospect Avenue Between Maple Street and Edward Street, which has a daily fee of $2.00. Staffis recommending this fee also be changed to $1.50 to bring the fee in line with all other municipal parking fees. This change along with the other fee changes is reflected in the attached ordinance. Also included in the ordinance are a number of housekeeping changes. During the review of the ordinance it was discovered that all of the old references to parking meters were never removed. ne final note, per our lease agreement with Union Pacific, all rate increases must be approved by Union Pacific. Pending Village Board approval of the first reading of the ordinance raising the fee a letter will be sent to Union Pacific requesting their approval of the fee increase prior to the second reading of the ordinance. Recommendation: At the July 8, 2003 COW meeting, the Village Board reached agreement to raise the daily parking fee $.50 bringing the daily fee to $1.50. Attached is the required ordinance. Jason H. Leib Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: DAVID STRAHL, ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST JUNE 13, 2003 COMMUTER-PARKING LOT RATE INCREASES The following memo highlights a proposal to increase commuter-parking rates from $1.00 to $1.50. The proposed rate increase would affect the Maple St., Emerson/Northwest Hwy and Main St./Northwest Hwy commuter parking lots. The fee structure has not been addressed in more than fifteen years and with the impending installation of the Automated Parking Attendant, there is an impetus to address the current fee structure. The installation of the automated parking attendant at the Maple St., Emerson St. and Main St. commuter lots is being coordinated with the current improvements to the commuter lots. The automated parking attendants should be installed in the near future at a cost of $15,000 - $18,000. A portion of the cost attributed to the installation of the automated parking attendants is being covered by the Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The remaining portion of the cost will be paid for through the Village's Parking Fund. The cost of the automated parking attendant along with the remaining improvements to the commuter parking lots has caused the Village to reassess the current commuter parking fee structure. The proposal is to increase the fee by $.50 bringing the daily commuter-parking fee to $1.50. If the fee were increased the Village would recognize an increase in revenue of $74,620 a year. The Maple St., Emerson/Northwest Hwy and Main St./Northwest Hwy lots would experience an increase in revenues of $37,440, $18,720 and $18,460 respectively. Currently the Village has an agreement with Union Pacific to share parking revenue of the Emerson St./Northwest Hwy and Main St./Northwest Hwy lots. The Village receives two-thirds of the revenues while Union Pacific receives the remaining one-third. The Village's share of the increase for the Emerson St./Northwest Hwy and Main St./Northwest Hwy commuter lots would be $12,480 and $12,307 respectively. Note: Village keeps all of Maple Street Revenue. There has been a minor discussion conceming raising the parking fee $.25 bringing the fee to $1.25. If the fee were raised to a $1.25 the Village would recognize an increase in revenue totaling more than $37,180 a year. The Maple St., Emerson St./Northwest Hwy and Main St./Northwest Hwy lots would experience an increase in revenues of $18,720 $9,360 and $9,100 respectively. n looking at the five year financial forecast for the Parking Fund, the total cost of operating the commuter parking lots will increase fi.om $178,780 in 2002 to $204,289 in 2006 an increase of 12.5%. Over the same five year period revenue earned from rental income, parking fees and investment income will only grow 1.5%. The 1.5% growth is directly attributable to growth in investment income; the revenue from rent and parking fees is not projected to grow. The timing of the rate increase coincides the improvement and automated collection system installation. Based on revenue projections the parking fund will not cover its operating costs within the next five years as shown in the attached spreadsheet. Increasing the rate now will allow for revenues to be built up to the point where the parking fund should be able to sustain itself. With the increased revenue available before the projected deficit becomes a reality, the need to consider a more substantial rate increase should not be necessary. However, there will likely need to be close monitoring of the fund projections to determine if another increase is necessary. A comprehensive review of the rates with projected revenues and expenditures should take place every five years and revise the rates accordingly. The automated collection system will allow for additional revenue capture compared to the current collection devises. If revenue eamed from investments is ignored the parking fund will begin to experience a deficit starting in 2002 continuing through 2006 if parking rates remain $1.00. To avoid a deficit an increase in parking rates to $1.50 will generate revenues of $223,340 between the Maple St., Emerson St. and Main St lots. Adding the $223,340 to the $29,000 earned from Prospect Ave. and the Wille St. lot the total projected revenues eamed from parking fees will be $252,340. The increase in revenue from parking fees will offset the increasing cost of operating the commuter lots, thus preventing future deficits. In addition to avoiding deficits, the increase in parking rates will enable the healthy growth of the parking fund. Recent capital improvements necessitated that the Village use Parking Fund reserves to pay for several projects. The increase in the parking fees enables the Village to build up the fund to previous levels. In summary, the Village is proposing: · A $.50 increase in parking fees for the Maple St., Emerson St. and Main St. commuter lots, bringing the daily charge to a $1.50. · The increase will bring the Village in line with other municipal parking fees, which average $1. ! 5 along the Northwest Line and $1.50 along the North Central line. · Increased parking rates would generate an increase in revenue of approximately $74,100 annually. Reasons for: To help pay for the installation of automated parking attendants, which cost between $15,000-18,000. The cost of operating the commuter lots is increasing 12.5% annually, however revenues are only increasing 1.5%' annually. - The Village faces deficits in the Parking Fund beginning in 2002 of $1,330, $7,366, $13,623, $20,111 and $26,839. The increase in revenue will enable the Village to build up the Parking Fund, which has experienced a loss in reserves due to recent capital improvements.

Lowe, Village Clerk illage of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES VILLAGE MANAGER AUGUST 29, 2003 REQUEST TO RAISE RAFFLE PRIZE VALUE LIMIT The Village regulates the conduct of raffles conducted by bona fide not-for-profit organizations. Chapter 11, Article XXX of the Village Code outlines in detail the rules and regulations, which must be followed. One of the regulations includes a cap on the raffle prize awards, both individually and in the aggregate. There is also a limit on the value of raffle tickets sold. The current limits are $25,000 for an individual award, $25,000 for awards in the aggregate and a $200 maximum on the cost of an individual raffle ticket. Those regulations have been in place since at least 1986. The Village has received a request from the Prospect Endowment for the Performing Arts, a branch of the District 214 Community Education FOundation to raise the current $251000 limits. The Community Education Foundation is a 501(c) (3) Foundation. The Endowment supports the fine and performing arts programs at Prospect High School beyond the allocation of Board of Education dollars. Through the balance of the year, the Foundation will be conducting a "Pot Of Gold" raffle and hopes to award 'a total of $30,500 in prizes. The Foundation would like to hold the drawings and make the presentations at the winter concert at Prospect High School. Given the current limits contained in the Code, the drawing could not take place within Mount Prospect. Given consideration to general inflation and the trend toward larger raffle prize awards as a way of generating more revenue, a change in the limits from $25,000 to $50,000 appears to be appropriate. Staff would also recommend that the cost limit of an individual raffle ticket be increased from $200 to $250. Given the extensive rules and regulations that charitable organizations must comply with, staff feels there are sufficient safeguards in place to protect from potential fraud and/or mismanagement.
