6.1 PZ -02 -17 TEXT AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 14 AND CHAPTER 9 OF THE VILLAGE CODE {1st reading of an ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 9, "DEFINITIONS" OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS and 2nd reading of an
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14, "ZONING" OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS}
The first reading of this ordinance was presented at the April 18th Village Board meeting. Following a presentation and
discussion, the Board decided additional information was needed. The Transportation Safety Commission was called upon to
conduct additional studies to determine further action. The second reading was deferred to the June 6, 2017 Village Board
meeting.
Assistant to the Village Manager Nellie Beckner provided background information stating that questions raised by resident
concerns, jump-started the conversations leading staff to examine the subject ordinances. Ms. Beckner presented the report
provided by the Transportation Safety Commission following their meeting on May 22, 2017. Staff presented modified
amendments to the Transportation Safety Commission. In addition to the amendments to Chapter 14's definition of Sight
Triangle, staff presented an added regulation to Article III [General Provisions], Vision Clearance, as well as recommendations
to the definition of sight triangle in Chapter 9 [Public Utilities, Pavement and Tree Regulations].
The Transportation Safety Commission raised the following points during discussion: clarification that the regulation of Vision
Clearance would only apply to corner lots; that the inclusion of driveways in the regulation would include numerous non -
conformities; that the fence regulations would not change. In addition, the TSC wanted to understand the method of enforcement
for properties that would be in violation, as they did not want to give the appearance of Mount Prospect "over regulating"
properties or burden a property owner with fines, etc.

The Commission made a recommendation to concur with staff recommendations related to the three code amendments, the
motion was approved by a vote of 7-0.
Ms. Beckner Drovided the following in resoonse to auestions from the Village Board
• Codes will be enforced by resident complaints similar to the enforcement of property maintenance issues.
• Shrubs and fences are not considered the same. Fences are considered structures; shrubs and bushes can be molded,
shaped and trimmed.
• A timetable for compliance does not need to be part of the ordinance; this direction will come from staff who will
communicate with residents
• The goal is to work with residents until they are complaint; the goal is not to issue tickets.
Trustee Saccotelli pointed out a discrepancy in the two draft ordinances. The Ordinance amending Chapter 14 includes a Section
3 which refers to amendments to Chapter 9; this portion should have been included with the Ordinance amending Chapter 9. Ms.
Beckner confirmed this was a clerical error made when drafting the ordinances. The Village Clerk stated these discrepancies will
be corrected when the final version is submitted to the codifiers and presented to the Mayor for signature.
Motion to adopt an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 14) of the Village Code of Mount Prospect as amended

8. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
8.1 MOTION TO WAIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC BIDDING AND AWARD A CONTRACT FOR TURF MOWING IN AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED $55,525.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and answered questions from the Board.
Mr. Dorsey stated the original contract was awarded to Alvarez Landscape, the lowest bidder at the public bid opening on
February 13 ,2017. However, the Village was notified by Alvarez Landscape that they had "underbid" and requested the Village
to adjust their bid price or reduce the scope of work. Neither option satisfied the Village and subsequently, Alvarez requested to
be released from the contract. A formal written request for their contract to be terminated was submitted by Alvarez. The
Village attorney determined this request satisfies Alvarez' contractual obligation.
Allscape Contractors, Inc. of Romeoville, Illinois (Allscape), the second lowest bidder from the February 2017 bid opening, was
contacted to see if they were still interested in the work. The owner of the company indicated that he was, and could assume the
contract within two (2) weeks. A copy of Allscape's bid submittal is attached. Sealed bids for the 2017-2018 turf mowing contract
were opened on February 13, 2017. On March 7, 2017, the Village Board awarded the work to the lowest cost bidder, Alvarez
Landscape (Alvarez), in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in 2017. Next year's expenditures were to be at bid rates but limited
to funds appropriated in the 2018 budget.
Staff recommends that the Village Board waive the requirement for public bidding and award a two year contract to Allscape,
Incorporated in an amount not to exceed $55,525. Year 2 expenditures will be at bid rates but limited to funds appropriated in
the 2018 Budget.
