Action: 7.2 1st reading of AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 13 (ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS) OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT
PROSPECT
This ordinance amends the Village Liquor Code Article IV, Section 13.406 (D)(2) and Section 13.402(A) clarifying when a liquor
licensee is required to provide a written report to the Village regarding a fight, and modifies the procedure for the transfer of a
liquor license from one physical location to another. Village Attorney Lance Malina provided background information on the
proposed new ordinance. Mr. Malina stated this ordinance amends the Village Code to require a liquor licensee who seeks to
begin serving alcohol from a different location to apply for a new liquor license, rather than seek the transfer of an existing
license.
In addition, currently, a liquor licensee is required to file a written report with the Liquor Commissioner within forty eight (48)
hours of a fight occurring of the premises. This ordinance clarifies that the written report is required when a fight is "reasonably
related to the service of alcohol."
Motion to waive the rule requiring two readings of an ordinance and adopt an Ordinance Amending the Village Liquor Code.

Action: 7.4 1st reading of AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 23 ARTICLE 1 OF THE VILLAGE CODE IN REGARD TO POWDERED
AND VAPORIZED ALCOHOL
Village Attorney Lance Malina provided background information on powdered alcohol, a powder or crystalline substance
containing alcohol which, when snorted, affects the user at a much faster rate that drinking alcohol. The State has found this to
be a dangerous substance; this ordinance seeks to prohibit powdered alcohol under the Village Code.
In addition to powdered alcohol, vaporizing alcohol is another dangerous form which transforms alcohol from its liquid state into
a gaseous state. This is quickly absorbed into the users bloodstream. Vaporizing alcohols makes it difficult to measure the
amount of alcohol the user has inhaled.
Mr. Malina provided the following answers to auestions from the Board:
The State of Illinois passed a similar law banning both substances; our ordinance supersedes (as a home -rule
municipality) state law.
Increase in use led to state and municipal laws banning these dangerous substances.
Police Chief Tim Janowick added that this amendment is a preventative measure; it is a way we can stay on top of it.

S. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Action: 8.1 Motion to accept bid for Street Resurfacing in an amount not to exceed $4,472,000.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff recommendation for the 2017 Street Resurfacing
Program. The goal of the Village's Street Resurfacing Program is to maintain an average 20 -year life for all Village streets; this
requires that 6.8 miles of Village streets are resurfaced on a yearly basis. This year's program includes 7.45 miles of streets that
are being funded through the Street Improvement Construction Fund and a portion of the Motor Fuel Tax Fund. The 2016
pavement evaluation study indicated that 8.2 miles of Village streets have a pavement condition index rating between 25-40,
making the streets eligible for resurfacing.
Staff recommend the 2017 Street Resurfacing Program contract be awarded to the low bidder, Arrow Road Construction Co.
Arrow Road Construction has previously completed street improvements for the Village (2014, 2015 and 2016) Street
Resurfacing Programs; their work has been acceptable.
Mr. Dorsey responded to questions from the Board relating to the newly annexed Addison Court properties which are eligible for
resurfacing, stating the Village will share the cost of this project with Elk Grove Township.

for the year's program: Dempster Street, from Elmhurst Road to Algonquin Road, Algonquin Road, from Elmhurst Road to
Briarwood Drive, Busse Road, south of Algonquin Road, and various streets south of Golf Road and west of Elmhurst Road.
Six (6) contractors submitted bids. Five (5) of the bids were read at the bid opening on March 13, 2017. Due to a clerical error,
the sixth bid was opened on March 14th. The bid was received prior to the March 13th deadline, confirmed by staff and Fed Ex
delivery records. The Village attorney reviewed the matter and determined the sixth bidder, Schroeder & Schroeder, submitted
a viable bid and it should be considered. All bidders were properly notified.

their work was acceptable; staff recommend the contract be awarded to Schroder & Schroeder.

Action: 8.6 Motion to authorize the Village Manager to execute a settlement agreement in the case of Jacqueline Hallum v. Mount
Prospect
Village Manager Michael Cassady provided background information pertaining to the settlement agreement. The Village was sued
by a resident of Arlington Heights following a trip and fall incident occurring on a Village -owned sidewalk. The negotiated
settlement agreement was facilitated by a judge in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Given the unpredictability of jury trial
outcome, the potential for a treble damage award (three (3) times actual damages), as well as possible responsibility for legal
and court costs, staff has concluded that the best interests of the Village will be served by resolving this matter with a settlement
agreement.
Staff recommended execution of this agreement.
