MEMORANDUM
TO: DAVID STRAHL, ACTING VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: JUNE 29, 2015
SUBJECT: PZ -12-15, WESTBROOK SCHOOL
At their last meeting, the Village Board questioned the status of the Village staff/IDOT review of the
proposed curb cut onto Central Road serving the Westbrook School parking lot. In addition, they
raised concerns with rezoning Westbrook Park from CR to R1 as it would open the potential for that
property to be redeveloped for residential purposes if the School District chose to sell the land. Below
is an update on both issues.
Central Road Access Drive
Attached is a memorandum from the Public Works Director summarizing the status of both the Village
and IDOT review of the proposed curb cut and access drive on Central Road. As the memorandum
states, Village staff has completed their review of the proposed parking lot, storm water detention and
Central Road access drive and has approved them as proposed. IDOT has asked for further information
from the School District regarding traffic counts and capacity analysis and will make the final
determination on the driveway design.
Rezoning Westbrook Park from CR to R1
I have attached a letter from the School District's attorney offering a proposed compromise solution to
their request to rezone Westbrook Park from CR to R1. They are proposing entering into an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Mount Prospect Park District and the Village granting
both entities the right of first refusal to purchase the property if the School District decides to sell off
the property in the future.
The School District wants to consolidate all of their properties into one lot to give them the flexibility to
pursue future improvements to the school on their property. The IGA would give them that flexibility
while the property remains under the ownership of the School District and would give the Park District
or the Village the opportunity to preserve the open space if the School District decides to sell off the
land in the future.
Please forward this memorandum and attached letter to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their July 7th meeting. Staff will be present at this meeting to answer any questions
related to this matter.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SEAN DORSEY
FROM: PROJECT ENGINEER CHUCK LINDELOF
DATE: JUNE 26, 2015
SUBJECT: WESTBROOK SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
On March 3, 2015, School District first submitted plans for improvements to the Westbrook
School site. These improvements included expanding and reconfiguring the parking lot,
installing a new driveway connection to Central Road, and stormwater detention.
It should be noted that the Village has limited jurisdiction over construction on school
property. Village authority is limited to items having direct impact to Village systems, such
as water & sanitary services, stormwater management, and curb cuts onto Village streets.
The improvements proposed include no water or sanitary service improvements, comply
with Village stormwater management ordinances, and include no curb cuts onto Village
streets. Consequently, on June 20, 2015 Public Works approved the proposed site
improvements subject to the conditions that the following approvals also be obtained:
➢ Any other Village department having review authority.
➢ Cook County Highway Department (CCHD) for work within the Busse Road right-of-
way. We understand that the school is currently working with CCHD.
➢ Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for work within the Central Road right-
of-way. We understand that the school currently working with IDOT. A copy of
IDOT's preliminary review from March 18, 2105 is attached. We confirmed that the
engineer for the school is in the process of addressing these comments, but has not
yet resubmitted to IDOT.
➢ Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) for the
proposed stormwater management. The Village signed the MWRD permit
applications on May 12, 2015 and returned them for submittal to the MWRD.
➢ Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for the erosion control measures. This
permit has been issued.
It should also be noted that during the course of the plan reviews, Staff offered comments
and suggestions outside the direct jurisdiction of the Village. These comments, based
upon Staff's experience engineering practice, were offered to further improve the site, and
included such items as traffic signage & striping changes.
During the preliminary discussions with the school's engineer, it was suggested that the
driveway onto Central Road be limited to right-in/right-out. The current driveway
configuration restricts left turns from the school property, but allows left turns from
westbound Central Road onto the property. The school's justification is that only cars will
be making this left turn; buses will be required to enter the site from Busse Road. The left
turn from Central Road was further justified as a means of reducing congestion on Busse
Road.
It must be stressed that MOT has sole jurisdiction over the driveway onto Central Road.
However, it is Staff's opinion that the driveway provides controlled and safe access to the
site, creates no adverse impact to traffic either on site or on Central Road so Staff has no
objections to the proposed design.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Mount Prospect School District 57 Zoning Petition (P2-12-15)
Dear Mr. Cooney:
Currently pending is a petition to rezone a portion of the land that comprises the Westbrook
School site. As you recall, at the request of the Village staff, the School District filed the petition
to rezone Lots 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road from C-R to R-1, and Lots 101 and 103 S. Busse
Road from R -X to R-1.
At the Village Board meeting on June 16, 2015 several Village trustees expressed some
concern regarding the future development of the open space comprised by Lots 1420 and 1421
should the School District decide to sell them in the future. Reportedly, these lots were re -zoned
C-R around 1993 so that the Village could qualify for grant funding. As this action predates any
of the current School District administrators and members of the Board of Education, and the
School District has been unable to locate any documentation regarding this action, the School
District was unaware of the current C-R designation.
The School District believes that the R-1 designation for Lots 1420 and 1421 is appropriate
for the reasons endorsed in the Village staffs recommendations to the Village Board, and will
enable the School District to utilize the property for school purposes. It will also enable the School
District to utilize potions of the lots for a school building addition, should one be necessary to
serve the students of the community.
The School District does not have any plans to sell Lots 1420 or 1421 in the foreseeable
future. Furthermore, student enrollment is not projected to significantly decline. Should the lots
be re -designated R-1, the School District administration is willing to recommend to the Board of
Education that it enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Village and/or Park District
to provide a right of first refusal to purchase Lots 1420 and 1421 at fair market value. Such an
agreement would address the Village Board's concerns regarding future development of the lots
for non -school purposes.

Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:31 p.m. Commissioner Youngquist made a motion to
approve the minutes of the April 23, 2015 meeting; Commissioner Beattie seconded the motion. The
minutes were approved 3-4 with four Commissioners abstaining. After hearing one case from old
business, Chairman Donnelly introduced Case PZ -12-15, 101-103 S. Busse Road and 1420 & 1421 W.
Central Road and stated it was Village Board final.
Ms. Andrade stated the Petitioner for PZ -12-15 is the Mount Prospect School District 57 and is seeking to
rezone the parcels known as 101 & 103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W.
Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) to R1 Single -Family Residence.
Ms. Andrade explained the Subject Property is located on the south side of Central Road and east side of
Busse Road, and consists of two parcels that are occupied by Westbrook School. Overall, Westbrook
Planning and Zoning Commission- May 28, 2015 PZ -12-15
Joseph Donnelly, Chair
School and the related improvements sit on 9 acres of land consisting of seven (7) parcels, including the
subject parcels. The existing improvements cross lot lines and are considered nonconforming.
Ms. Andrade stated with the exception of the Subject Property, all of the parcels are zoned R1 Single -
Family Residence District. The parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-021-0000)
and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) are zoned RX Single Family Residence and
CR Conservation Recreation respectively. The Subject Property borders the RI Single -Family Residence
District to the west, south, and east sides, and borders the CR Conservation Recreation to the north.
Ms. Andrade stated that the Petitioner would like to consolidate the seven (7) parcels into a lot of record
and expand the existing parking lot, and is seeking rezone the parcels known as 101 & 103 S. Busse Road
(PIN 08-11-100-021-0000) and 1420 &1421 W. Central (PIN -08-11-100-006-000) to RI Single Family
Residence.
Ms. Andrade summarized the standards for Map Amendments as the following:
• The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the
general area of the property in question;
• The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the
proposed zoning classification;
• The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and
proposed zoning classifications; and
• Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
Ms. Andrade stated that Staff is supportive of the Petitioner's request to rezone the parcels known as 101
&103 S. Busse Road and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road to R-1 Single -Family Residence. Ms. Andrade
explained the R-1 zoning classification is consistent with the adjacent parcels' land use and zoning
designation. Other schools are zoned residential. Further, it would allow for the consolidation of the
property to a lot record, which would eliminate the nonconformity consisting of existing improvements
crossing lot lines.
Ms. Andrade stated that there would be no changes to the existing land use of the property, which is
consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. The Village Comprehensive Plan designates the
property as institutional. This land use designation is appropriate for educational facilities. The Subject
Property's existing land use is consistent with this designation.
Ms. Andrade stated that Staff finds the standards for a map amendment have been met; Staff recommends
that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a motion to adopt staffs fmdings and approve the
following motion:
"To recommend approval of:
A Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-
021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) to R-1 Single -Family
Residence."
Ms. Andrade stated that Village Board's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Donnelly asked if there is a minimum requirement of open space available on a school
property.
Planning and Zoning Commission- May 28, 2015 PZ -12-15
Joseph Donnelly, Chair
Ms. Andrade stated that the maximum permitted lot coverage is seventy-five percent 75% for a non-
residential use in a residential district.
Commissioner Beattie asked why the proposed request hadn't been done a long time ago.
Ms. Andrade stated that historically the property has consisted of multiple parcels. She further explained
that the parcel currently zoned CR was zoned RI Single Family Residential; however, the parcel was
rezoned to CR in 1993 when the Village re -zoned parcels throughout the Village. She further stated, the
Village Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2007 and classified the parcel as institutional which is
compatible with the R1 district.
Chairman Donnelly swore in Dale Falk, Assistant Superintendent for School District 57; and Nick
Papanicholas, Jr. 300 N. Oak Mount Prospect, construction manager for the district.
Mr. Papanicholas stated the district acquired the residential property to the north to alleviate safety
concerns. Cars stack on Busse Road during drop-off time at the school and there isn't enough capacity in
the existing lot.
Mr. Papanicholas stated as the property became available the School District acquired it and has since
razed the property with anticipated development of expanding the current parking lot and bus traffic. He
further explained the zoning issue came up to their attention when they were looking into a plat of
resubdivision to consolidate all of the parcels. The south parcel has been a parking lot for 40-60 years.
The north parcel has been park district use granted by the School District for the 40 or 50 years that was
rezoned in the early 1990's. The proposal to consolidate the property is to get it cleaned up as a matter of
housekeeping.
Chairman Donnelly clarified that the Petitioner would not be coming in front of the Commission again for
any variations once the zoning issue was cleaned up.
Mr. Papanicholas responded no Variations will be requested; everything will be in conforming use.
Chairman Donnelly asked if the board had any questions for the Petitioner; hearing non he opened
discussion up to the public regarding this case.
Chairman Donnelly swore in William Millar 1619 W. Central Road.
Mr. Millar asked why the Petitioner would need to change the zoning district from RX -RI and CR -RI.
Chairman Donnelly stated it was for the purpose of consolidating the parcels to one lot of record which is
required by the Village.
Mr. Millar listed his concerns as the following:
• What will prevent people from using the new road as a pass through from Busse to Central?
• What will stop westbound traffic from Central Road turning left on to the new road?
• He stated his concern regarding cars using his circle drive as a drop-off point for the baseball
diamond.
• He is concerned about the smell and loud noise of the school buses.
• Safety concerns regarding the close proximity of Busse Road access and the new road access.
• He asked if a road with street lights and sewers allowed in R-1 zoning.
• Is the baseball diamond allowed to remain in an R-1 zoning district?
Planning and Zoning Commission- May 28, 2015 PZ -12-15
Joseph Donnelly, Chair
Chairman Donnelly asked if the Petitioner will be coming back before the Planning and Zoning
Commission for any of the proposed work.
Ms. Andrade stated that the proposed parking lot expansion and related improvements do not require
zoning approval as long as it requires with the zoning regulations.
Chairman Donnelly stated the commission is only approving the consolidation and can't address any of
Mr. Millar's concerns.
Ms. Andrade clarified that the only matter before the board was the rezoning of the two parcels; the
parking lot improvements are subject to Village zoning review and approval as well as review and
approval from IDOT and the Cook County Highway Department.
Chairman Donnelly stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission is not addressing the improvements
taking place on the property, they are only able to address the rezoning of the two subject parcels. He
explained the Commission has no jurisdiction over the proposed improvements at this time.
Ms. Andrade stated that if the parking lot and related improvements comply with the Village's zoning
code then the project would not come before the board for approval. The project would be subject to
comply with IDOT and the Cook County Highway Department regulations
Chairman Donnelly swore in Susan O'Boyle 9 S. Busse Road, Mount Prospect.
Ms. O'Boyle stated that her property line boarders Westbrook School and that her concerns are similar to
Mr. Millar's. She further explained that the addition of the road and parking lot is going to drastically
change the character of the neighborhood. She also stated she didn't understand why they couldn't discuss
the concerns regarding the parking lot and related improvements.
Chairman Donnelly explained that Commission has no jurisdiction over the proposed improvements at
this time.
Ms. O'Boyle asked what the differences are between the RX and R1 zoning districts.
Ms. Andrade gave a brief explanation of the difference. She stated the Subject Property is adjacent to the
RI zoning district; not the RX District. She explained the Village doesn't allow spot zoning and that the
parcel zoned RX is legal nonconforming as it completely surrounded by the R1 District.
Ms. O'Boyle asked about the lot coverage characteristics for both zoning districts.
Ms. Andrade stated the maximum lot coverage permitted is forty-five percent (45%) for residential uses
in the RI district. The maximum lot coverage permitted for non-residential uses in the RI district is
seventy-five percent (75%).
Commissioner Beattie asked Staff if the zoning needs to be changed from CR and RX to R1 in order for
the District to construct the road in question.
Ms. Andrade clarified the road is an access drive that would connect to Central Road. The proposed
parking lot expansion would take place north of the existing parking lot.
Planning and Zoning Commission- May 28, 2015 PZ -12-15
Joseph Donnelly, Chair
Commissioner Otteman asked if the access drive will be restricted to the use of buses or for parents
picking up and dropping off of students.
Ms. O'Boyle stated her concern was that part of the conservation area that would be eliminated to make
room for the road and stated her concern with the road's proximity to the Central Road and Busse Road
intersection.
Chairman Donnelly asked the Petitioner to address the comments of the concerned citizens.
Mr. Falk gave a brief history of how the school district came to the conclusion of the proposed plan. He
stated that he worked with the Public Works department to come up with a solution to help the traffic
flow on Busse Road during the morning and afternoon drop-off and pick up times.
Mr. Falk further explained that the best solution would be to have multiple exits out of the parking lot.
The drive is designated for both bus and car traffic.
Mr. Papanicholas explained that the access drive will be only open during peak hours and will be blocked
off when the school is closed. He also stated that IDOT is governing the decisions regarding the traffic
into and out of the property off of Central. He further stated that he believes it will be a "right -in right -
out" off of Central Road.
Mr. Falk explained that Westbrook is an early learning center and some of the buses are ran based on a
half day schedule and will have the access drive opened during school hours only. He stated that the
access drive will be gated during non -school hours to discourage the use of a pass through from Busse to
Central.
Mr. Papanicholas stated that the two T -Ball fields will remain on the property, in response to the citizen's
comment regarding the elimination of green space.
Commissioner Otteman stated her concern for the added traffic on Central and asked if there were any
traffic studies done. She referred to the Downtown Plan which referenced Central as one of the busiest
streets in the Village.
Mr. Papanicholas stated that there have been various traffic studies since the re -opening of Westbrook and
a current one that was required by various agencies. He also stated that the Village has conducted its own
traffic studies which have all stated the proposed access road will alleviate the dangerous issues on Busse
during peak hours.
Commissioner Beattie confirmed asked if Westbrook has plans to house additional students besides early
childhood.
Mr. Falk stated they currently don't have any plans to house additional students. He doesn't believe there
is enough room to take on more students at this time. He further stated the proposed improvements are to
help address the immediate safety concern on Busse Road during arrival and dismissal times.
Mr. Millar stated that the proposed improvements will only create a traffic issue on Central Road.
Chairman Donnelly stated that IDOT and the Village traffic engineer have both agreed that the proposed
plan is better than the current situation.
Mr. Millar suggested putting the road near Weller Creek.
Planning and Zoning Commission- May 28, 2015 PZ -12-15
Joseph Donnelly, Chair
Mr. Falk stated that if the road was constructed further east by the creek they would lose both baseball
fields. Mr. Falk further stated there is an existing playground that is located along the creek, which they
would like to keep traffic as far as possible away from the playground.
Mr. Papanicholas also stated that the MWRD has an easement that runs along the west side of Weller
Creek, which they claim they own part of the property.
Commissioner Youngquist gave a brief description of the nonresidential uses that can occur in RI such as
churches, parks, schools and fields.
Mr. Millar stated that he didn't agree a park is considered RI and asked the board if he could build a
baseball field on his property if that was the case.
Chairman Donnelly asked if there were any other citizens to be heard. Hearing none, he closed the public
portion of the meeting and brought the discussion back to the board.
Hearing no further discussion from the board Commissioner Beattie made a motion seconded by
Commissioner Fitzgerald to approve the following motion:
To approve:
"A Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-
021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) to R-1 Single -Family
Residence."
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Otteman, Fitzgerald, Beattie, Youngquist, Kueter, Mizwicki, Donnelly
NAYS: NONE
Chairman Donnelly stated this is Village Board final. Commissioner Youngquist urged the concerned
citizens to attend that meeting and state their concerns in front of them as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MOUNT PROSPECT PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
JOSEPH P. DONNELLY, CHAIRPERSON
FROM: CONSUELO ANDRADE, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: MAY 20, 2015
HEARING DATE: MAY 28, 2015
SUBJECT: PZ -12-15 / 101 & 103 S. BUSSE ROAD AND 1420 & 1421 W. CENTRAL ROAD /
ZMA (RX TO R1 & CR TO R1)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the May 28, 2015 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the
application by the Board of Education Mount Prospect School District 57 (the "Petitioner") regarding the property
located at 101 & 103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-
100-006-000) (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking to rezone the Subject Property to RI Single -
Family Residence. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the May 13, 2015 edition of the Daily Herald
Newspaper. In addition, written notice to property owners within 250 -feet was provided and Staff posted a Public
Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the east side of Busse Road and south side of Central Road, and consists of
two parcels that are occupied by Westbrook School. Overall, Westbrook School and the related improvements sit
on seven (7) parcels, including the Subject Property. The existing improvements cross lot lines and are
considered nonconforming.
With the exception of the Subject Property, all of the parcels are zoned RI Single -Family Residence District. The
parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN
08-11-100-006-000) are zoned RX Single Family Residence and CR Conservation Recreation respectively. The
Subject Property borders the RI Single -Family Residence District to the west, south, and east sides, and borders
the CR Conservation Recreation to the north.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner would like to consolidate the seven (7) parcels into a lot of record and expand the existing parking
lot, and is seeking to rezone the parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-021-0000) and 1420
& 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) to RI Single Family Residence.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION
The Subject Property's existing land use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's designation. The Village
Comprehensive Plan designates the property as institutional. This land use designation is appropriate for
educational facilities.

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting May 28, 2015
MAP AMENDMENT STANDARDS
Page 3
The standards for Map Amendments are listed in Section 14.203.D.8.a of the Village Zoning Ordinance. When a
Map Amendment is proposed, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make findings based upon the evidence
presented to it in each specific case with respect to, but not limited to, the following matters:
• The compatibility with existing uses and zoning classifications of property within the general
area of the property in question;
• The compatibility of the surrounding property with the permitted uses listed in the proposed
zoning classification;
• The suitability of the property in question to the uses permitted under the existing and proposed
zoning classifications; and
• Consistency with the trend of development in the general area of the property in question, and the
objectives of the current Comprehensive Plan for the Village.
Staff is supportive of the Petitioner's request to rezone the parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-
11-100-021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) to R-1 Single -Family Residence.
The R-1 zoning classification is consistent with the adjacent parcels' land use and zoning designation. Further, it
would allow for the consolidation of the property to a lot record, which would eliminate the nonconformity
consisting of existing improvements crossing lot lines. There would be no changes to the existing land use of the
property, which is consistent with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and permitted in the R-1 District.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff finds that the standards for a map amendment have been met. Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning
Commission make a motion to adopt staff s findings as the findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and
approve the following motion:
"To recommend approval of-
A.
£
A. A Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the parcels known as 101 &103 S. Busse Road (PIN 08-11-100-
021-0000) and 1420 & 1421 W. Central Road (PIN 08-11-100-006-000) to R-1 Single -Family
Residence."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR AND VILLAGE BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: ACTING VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: JULY 1, 2015
SUBJECT: FOLLOW UP INFORMATION VILLAGE WEB SITE REDESIGN
At the Village Board meeting on June 16, several Village Board members requested
staff follow up with the two qualified vendors regarding some additional information prior
to a final determination.
Among the information requested was the following:
1. Determine if there is an expiration date on the price quote as to how long the
vendor would hold the offered price?
2. Reach out to CivicLive in an attempt to gather reference information
that was not provided during the previous review of qualifications that generated
the initial staff recommendation.
3. Determine whether there are significant distinctions between the two vendors to
warrant the recommendation with the more expensive vendor.
Responses:
CivicLive offered to hold their prices for 120 days from April 30, 2015 and Vision Internet
offered to hold their prices for 180 days from April 30.
Staff was able to get feedback from two of the three references contacted on behalf of
CivicLive. The references were sufficiently positive and were similar to other reference
responses from Vision Internet. Therefore, the references from both vendors reflected
strong customer service and good product management.
The distinctions between the two vendors were not a major difference, but were more
related to ease of use, social media linkages, staff time upload time savings, and long
term costs favored Vision Internet. While the contract price for the web site development
varied between CivicLive ($57,000) and Vision Internet ($70,265) the annual hosting fee
of $9900 (CivicLive) and $6600 (Vision Internet) will bring the price of both vendors to
be virtually equal after 5 years of hosting and Vision Internet continuing on as a less

expensive option beyond that point. The staff feels that remote hosting is critical for
updates and security. The web site redesign has been in discussion for several years
and the available funding this fiscal year made moving forward with the redesign
possible this year. Among the concerns and limitations that have been identified and
would be corrected by the redesign were improving the search capabilities, reorganize
the data to reduce the data mining needed by the typical user, improve upload capability
and reducing staff time for such uploads. In addition, the Content Management Software
(CMS) used by Vision Internet is a better product overall compared to CivicLive based
on past experience and references confirming the new software addresses several
Village concerns.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending accepting the proposal from Vision Internet for web hosting and
redesign in the amount not to exceed $70,265.
