SUBJECT:
PZ-33-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (GYMNASTICS SCHOOL)
900 BUSINESS CENTER DRIVE
EUGENE KLEIN - ATTORNEY FOR APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-33-05, a request to
operate a gymnastics school, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning
Commission heard the request at their September 22, 2005 meeting.
The Subject Property is located on the north side of Business Center Drive, in the Kensington Business Center,
and includes an office/former manufacturing building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned
II Limited Industrial and is bordered by the II district on all sides. The Petitioner proposes to modify a portion of
the interior of the building to operate a gymnastics school.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed whether there was sufficient demand for a gymnastics school, and
how the facility would be used for teaching purposes, and not hosting competition events. The Petitioner
answered questions concerning the school's day-to-day operations and confirmed they would adhere to the
conditions of approval listed in the Staff Report. Several members of the P&Z Commissions stated the
gymnastics school would be an asset to the Village and that the Petitioner's background and credentials would
ensure a quality operation.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve a request for a
Conditional Use permit to operate a gymnastics school at 900 Business center Drive, Case No. PZ-33-05, subject
to the conditions listed in the Staff Report.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
October 4, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the August 25, 2005 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-
0; Marlys Haaland and Chairperson Juracek abstained from the vote. At 7:33 pm, Chair Juracek introduced Case
No. PZ-33-05, a request for a Conditional Use permit to operate a gymnastics school in the II Limited Industrial
District. She said that the Village Board's decision was final for the request.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, summarized the case. She said that the Subject Property is located on the north
side of Business Center Drive, in the Kensington Business Center, and includes an office/former manufacturing
building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned II Limited Industrial and is bordered by the
II district on all sides.
The Petitioner proposes to modify a portion of the 43,000 sq. ft. building and operate a gymnastics school.
However, the Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for a vocational school and a gymnastics
school is classified as a vocational school. As part of the Conditional Use application, the Petitioner submitted a
floor plan that indicates the general layout of the gymnastics school. It will include areas specified for floor
exercises, tumbling pits, and equipment. In addition, there will be three offices and a Parents Room. A four (4)
foot wood fence will separate the exercise areas and is intended to minimize conflicts with students practicing
from people walking through the gym. The Petitioner has provided a general description of the school's
programs, the staffs qualifications, and information on how the school will operate: there will be 3 teachers and a
maximum of 30 students at one time. The school will be open from 9am to 9pm Monday through Friday and 9am
to 3 pm Saturday. Most parents will drop the student off and pick them up later when their program is complete.

However, there is a room available if they opt to stay at the school and watch their child. Only classes and
practices will be held on-site; competitions or performance events will be held off-site.
The building includes one other tenant, Cingular/AT&T Wireless Service Center. The 29,008 sq. ft. facility has
10 parking spaces allocated to them as part of their lease; the Petitioner would have 47 spaces allocated to them as
part of their lease. The leasing agent stated additional spaces could be made available to the Petitioner subject to
AT &T' s approval. The table in the Staff Report summarizes the square footage for the types of use and
corresponding parking requirement. There are 12 'extra' parking spaces.
The building was constructed in 1981 and currently includes fire sprinklers. However, the fire alarm and
sprinkler systems will have to be modified because the proposed gymnastics school is a change in use from the
previous tenant and there are different code requirements for a gymnastics school. In addition, the Fire
Department requires the Petitioner to submit an egress study with their Building permit application. Also, the
Petitioner must clarify where the spectator viewing area will be if events will be held on-site. While these are
Building permit issues to be addressed as part of the permit process, these requirements are included as part of the
Staff Report in an effort to ensure the Petitioner is aware of the requirements and submits a complete Building
permit application.
Ms. Connolly summarized the standards for Conditional Uses. She said that other departments reviewed the
Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the use or find that it would have an adverse impact on the adjacent
tenants or properties. The proposed school, as described in the Petitioner's application, would have minimal
impact on the adjacent properties.
She said that it is important that the enrollment levels cannot increase to an amount that would exceed the
Village's parking requirement. Therefore, the Petitioner will be required to limit enrollment. Per the proposed
lease, there are 47 parking spaces allocated to the school. Based on the information submitted by the Petitioner, it
is reasonable to expect 1 teacher per 10 students; therefore the maximum enrollment cannot exceed 44 students
and 5 teachers.
Ms. Connolly said that the proposed gymnastics school meets the Conditional Use standards listed in the Zoning
Ordinance subject to complying with specific conditions. She said that Staff recommends that the Planning &
Zoning Commission approve the following motion:
"To approve a Conditional Use permit for a gymnastics school at 900 Business Center Drive, Case No.
PZ-33-05 subject to the following conditions:
1) No more than 44 students and 5 teachers attend the facility at one time unless other parking
arrangements have been agreed upon with the property owner and approved by Village Staff;
2) The Petitioner submits an egress study as part of the Building permit application and modifies the
tenant space in accordance to all applicable building and fire codes for a new assembly occupancy."
Ms. Connolly concluded her presentation and stated that the case is Village Board final. The Commissioners did
not have any questions for Staff, so the Petitioner was asked to address the Commission.
Eugene Klein, 5440 N. Cumberland, Chicago, IL, was sworn in. He stated that he was the attorney for the
Petitioner, Natalya Kuchinskaya. Mr. Klein went into great detail about Ms. Kuchinskaya's credentials and
experience as a coach, an instructor, and former Olympian. He reviewed the classes that would be offered at the
International Gymnastics School and other programs that would be offered. He said that they reviewed the
conditions of approval listed in the Staff Report and agreed to follow them. He asked whether the Commissioners
had any questions.

Leo Floros asked whether gymnastics is offered at the area high schools. Mr. Klein said he was not sure, but that
the programs offered at the International Gymnastics School would be supplemental to any competitive programs.
He said that Ms. Kuchinskaya's goal in opening the school is to teach children, but not necessarily for
competitions.
Ronald Roberts said that gymnastics is offered at Prospect High School, but the International Gymnastics School
is a great facility to have in Mount Prospect.
Chairperson Juracek asked whether the proposed fence intended to separate activities would pose a safety hazard
if someone ran into it or fell on it. Mr. Kotliar, a representative of the International Gymnastics School, was
sworn in. Through Mr. Klein's translation, it was learned that the fence would not be a tall fence and that it is
intended to keep parents out of the practice areas. He said there would be padding over and around the fence. He
compared it to a corral-type fence and described it as not a solid, sturdy fence, but more like a space delineator.
Ms. Juracek said that based on the Petitioner's experience in the field of gymnastics and knowledge of the sport,
she was satisfied that that the fence would not pose a safety hazard.
Keith Youngquist asked whether the school could be rented out for birthday parties or similar events. The
Petitioner said yes, but that the school was intended for the instruction of gymnastics. There was discussion if the
site could accommodate the parties and whether additional parking would be needed to comply with the Village's
zoning regulations. The Petitioner stated that they would comply with the Village's parking regulations if they
were to make the school available for non-school/teaching events.
Chairperson Juracek asked if anyone in the audience wanted to address the Commission. Since no one wanted to
address the Commission, she closed the public hearing at 7:55pm.
Richard Rogers said the gymnastics school would benefit the community and that Ms. Kuchinskaya's credentials
would help make it a success. He said he was glad to see this type of use in the Village.
Richard Rogers made a motion to approve a Conditional Use permit for a gymnastics school at 900 Business
Center Drive, Case No. PZ-33-05 subject to the following conditions:
1) No more than 44 students and 5 teachers attend the facility at one time unless other parking
arrangements have been agreed upon with the property owner and approved by Village Staff;
2) The Petitioner submits an egress study as part of the Building permit application and modifies the
tenant space in accordance to all applicable building and fire codes for a new assembly occupancy.
Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion.
UPON ROLL CALL:
AYES: Donnelly, Floros, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers, Youngquist, and Juracek
NAYS: None
Motion was approved 7-0. The case will go to Village Board for their consideration
After hearing three more cases, Joseph Donnelly made a motion to adjourn at 9 pm, seconded by Ronald Roberts.
The motion was approved by a voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2005
SUBJECT:
PZ-33-05 - CONDITIONAL USE (GYMNASTICS SCHOOL)
900 BUSINESS CENTER DRIVE - EUGENE KLEIN (APPLICANT)
BACKGROUND
A public hearing has been scheduled for the September 22, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to
review the application by Eugene Klein (the "Petitioner") regarding the tenant space located at 900 Business
Center Drive (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking Conditional Use approval to operate a
gymnastics school. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the September 7,2005 edition of the Journal Topics
Newspaper. In addition, Staff has provided written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public
Hearing sign on the Subject Property.
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Subject Property is located on the north side of Business Center Drive, in the Kensington Business Center,
and includes an office/former manufacturing building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned
II Limited Industrial and is bordered by the II district on all sides.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The Petitioner proposes to modify a portion of the 43,008 sq. ft. building and operate a gymnastics school.
However, the Zoning Ordinance requires Conditional Use approval for a vocational school; a gymnastics school
is classified as a vocational school. As part of the Conditional Use application, the Petitioner submitted a floor
plan that indicates the general layout of the 14,000 sq. ft. gymnastics school. It will include areas specified for
floor exercises, tumbling pits, and equipment. In addition, there will be three offices and a Parents Room. A four
(4) foot wood fence will separate the exercise areas and is intended to minimize conflicts with students practicing
from people walking through the gym. The Petitioner has provided a general description of the school's
programs, the staffs qualifications, and information on how the school will operate: there will be 3 teachers and a
maximum of 30 students. The school will be open from 9am to 9pm Monday through Friday and 9am to 3 pm
Saturday. Most parents will drop the student off and pick them up later when their program is complete.
However, there is a room available if they opt to stay at the school and watch their child. Only classes and
practices will be held on-site; competitions or performance events will be held off-site.

GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE
The 43,000 sq. ft. building includes one other tenant, Cingular/AT&T Wireless Service Center. The 29,008 sq. ft.
facility has 10 parking spaces allocated to them as part of their lease; the Petitioner would have 47 spaces
allocated to them as part of their lease. The leasing agent stated additional spaces could be made available to the
Petitioner subject to AT&T's approval. The following table summarizes the square footage for the types of use
and parking requirement.

Cingularl AT&T 29,008 sq. ft.
Warehouse (AT&T) 28,000 sq. ft 1/1 ,500 sq. ft 19

Gymnastics School 14, 000 sq. ft. maximum number of students (30) 32 spaces
Total Spaces Required 55
Total Spaces Provided 67

The building was constructed in 1981 and currently includes fire sprinklers. However, the fire alarm and
sprinkler systems will have to be modified because the proposed gymnastics school is a change in use from the
previous tenant and there are different code requirements for a gymnastics school. In addition, the Fire
Department requires the Petitioner to submit an egress study with their Building permit application. Also, the
Petitioner must clarify where the spectator viewing area will be if events will be held on-site. While these are
Building permit issues to be addressed as part of the permit process, these requirements are included as part of the
Staff Report in an effort to ensure the Petitioner is aware of the requirements and submits a complete Building
permit application.
CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS
The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include
seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary
of these findings:
. The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare;
. The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the
vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties;
. There is adequate provision for utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion
on Village streets; and
. The request is in compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan,
Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances.
Other departments reviewed the Petitioner's proposal and did not object to the use or find that it would have an
adverse impact on the adjacent tenants or properties. The proposed school, as described in the Petitioner's
application, would have minimal impact on the adjacent properties.

However, it is important that the enrollment levels cannot increase to an amount that would exceed the Village's
parking requirement. Therefore, the Petitioner will be required to limit enrollment so there is no less than 1
parking space per student and 0.67 parking spaces per teacher (2 spaces for 3 teachers results in 0.67 space per
teacher). Per the proposed lease, there are 47 parking spaces allocated to the gym. Based on the information
submitted by the Petitioner, it is reasonable to expect 1 teacher per 10 students; therefore the maximum
enrollment cannot exceed 44 students and 5 teachers (44+(5 x 0.67) = 47).
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed gynmastics school meets the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance subject to complying with the conditions listed below. Based on these findings, Staff
recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the following motion:
"To approve a Conditional Use permit for a gymnastics school at 900 Business Center Drive, Case No.
PZ-33-05 subject to the following conditions:
1) No more than 44 students and 5 teachers attend the facility at one time unless other parking
arrangements have been agreed upon with the property owner and approved by Village Staff;
2) The Petitioner submits an egress study as part of the Building permit application and modifies the
tenant space in accordance to all applicable building and fire codes for a new assembly occupancy."
The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

Natalya Kuchinskaya
She was, possibly l the only one that Latynina re,llJy liked. Even
today, when someone speaks about her, her former coach has a
glimpse ofa smile and adds "She \vas the beautiful Nataiia..."
Born on March ] 2ih, 1949 in S1. Petersburg, Natasha grew up in the
dream of becoming a ballet dancer. But her parents, gymnastics coaches,
made her train as a gymnast.
Luckily for them, Kuchinskaya, under the
guidence of Vladimir Reyson, showed a great
potential and earned a worldwide recognition at
the 1966\V orld Championships in Germany.
Although defeated by the great Vera CaslavsbL
Natalya won the Floor Exercise, the Balance
Beam and the Uneven Bars finals.
She made her National Team for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. There,
she \vas instantly adored as a goddess because of her performances on stage,
and also because of her beauty. lIer charm was in'esistible;mariachi singers
sang serenades below' her window in the Olympic Village.
During the competition she won the Gold on Beam and vvitb her 'ream,
and bronze on Floor and all around. She could have bad the Silver ifit
wasn't for a fall on the Uneven Bars. As expected, the unbeatable
C{lslavska won the Gold. '
Tired from the limited world of gymnastics, she retired. Obviously the
Government, thirsty of gold in m,~jor competitions, tried to dissuade her,
but Kuchinskaya1s will was stronger - for a while.
She soon realized that she'd sacrificed her education to her sport and
had no background to ingress in University, as she wanted.
She worked as a coach - job she had a lot of problems to get - in
Ukraine and Japan and, in the late] 990's, she moved to the USA.
Married to A lex Kotliar since 1980, she no\\! coaches at
the American Academy of Gymnastics in Illinois.

SUBJECT:
PZ-35-05 - TEXT AMENDEMNT (SIGN CODE)
VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT - APPLICANT
The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-35-05, a re est to
amend the Sign Code regulations for electronic message centers, as described in detail in the attached staff report.
The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their September 22, 2005 meeting.
The text amendments are applicable only to new signs that have an electronic message center component. The
Sign Code would be modified to require a 15 second display time, prohibit animation of text graphics and
scrolling text (but allow static logos). Gas station price signs and fast food restaurant menu boards would be
exempt from the Special Use approval process; all other signs with an electronic message center would continue
to be required to obtain a Special Use permit.
The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the Text Amendments at their August meeting. There was
significant discussion concerning the 5 second display time proposed by Staff. Several Commissioners stated a 5
second display time was too short and that the sign text should not change more frequently than once every 15
seconds. There was discussion on clarifying regulations for menu board and gas station signs to ensure the signs
would have a static display. The case was continued to the September meeting so Staff could modify the
amendments to reflect discussion from the August P&Z meeting.
The Commission discussed the revised text amendments at the September meeting. Minor modifications were
made to the proposed amendments. Several Commissioners reiterated their support for a 15 second display time.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the proposed text
amendment, as modified at the September P&Z meeting (attached), for Case No. PZ-35-05.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their
September 30, 2005 meeting. Staff will be present to answer any questions related to this matter.

Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the
minutes of the August 25, 2005 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-
0; Marlys Haaland and Chairperson Juracek abstained from the vote. After hearing three cases, Chairperson
Juracek introduced Case No. PZ-35-05, text amendments to the Village's Sign Code for Electronic Message
Centers. She said that the Village Board's decision was final for the request.
Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, summarized the case. She said that as discussed at the August P&Z Meeting,
recent technology improvements make electronic message center signs affordable and more durable than
changeable copy signs. Consequently, the Village has experienced an increase in the number of Special Use
applications for electronic message centers and anticipates receiving more requests in the future. Therefore, the
proposed amendments to the Sign Code are intended to provide regulations that ensure the character of the
Village is not adversely impacted by future electronic message centers, yet reflect changes in the sign industry.
She said that Staff revised the text amendments to reflect discussion from the August P&Z meeting. However,
Ronald Roberts had some suggestions and would like them included. Ms. Connolly presented changes to the
proposed Text Amendment and incorporated Mr. Roberts' comments.
The Commission discussed allowing graphics on the electronic message sign boards. It was decided that
animated graphics were not allowed, but logos were permitted to be displayed. The text amendments were
modified to read:

VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
BACKGROU1\T})
A public hearing was held on August 25, 2005 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application
by the Village of Mount Prospect (the "Petitioner") regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 7 of the Village's
Code, concerning sign regulations for Electronic Message Centers (Section 7.330.A). The P&Z hearing was
properly noticed in the August 10,2005 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. The case was continued to the
September 22, 2005 P&Z meeting.
As discussed at the August P&Z Meeting, recent tec1mology improvements make electronic message center signs
affordable and more durable than changeable copy signs. Consequently, the Village has experienced an increase
in the number of Special Use applications for electronic message centers and anticipates receiving more requests
in the future. Therefore, the proposed amendments to the Sign Code are intended to provide regulations that
ensure the character of the Village is not adversely impacted by future electronic message centers, yet ret1ect
changes in the sign industry.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
The proposed text amendments would affect Section 7.330.A of the Sign Code for Special Use approval as it relates to
new electronic message centers.
Staff proposes two types of signs be exempt from the Special Use: menu boards at fast food drive-thrus and signs for gas
prices only be exempt from the Special Use process. All other signs will continue to be installed subject to obtaining
Special Use approval. Staff proposes that the Sign Code be amended as listed below; changes are indicated in bold (red)
text.
7.330: SPECIAL USE:
The following signs may be allowed by special use permit issued in accordance with the general objectives
outlined in Sections 7.101 and 7.720 of this Chapter.
A. Electronic Message Centers:

hundred feet (600') to another such device directed to the same street.

must be constructed from non-reflective materials and illuminated in a manner that does not create a
2lare.

maximum size si2n permitted by the Si2n Code is deemed too lar2e for a particular location.
5. The sign message shall not consist of flashing, scintillating, chasing or animated lights or include

STANDARDS FOR TEXT AMENDMENTS
Section l4.203.D.8.b lists standards for the P&Z to consider for text amendments to the Zoning Code. The
standards relate to:
· The general applicability of the amendment to the community, rather than an individual parcel;
· The degree to which the amendment would create non-conformity;
· The degree to which the amendment would make the Zoning Code more permissive;
· Consistency ofthe amendment with objectives ofthe Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan; and
· Consistency of the amendment with Village policy as established by previous rulings.
The proposal to amend the Village's Sign Code would be applicable to the entire Village. The changes would
create nonconforming signs with respect to the length of display time. However, the size and location of
electronic message centers would not change. The proposed text amendment would require new signs to display
text for 15 seconds, which is a longer interval than the current two (2) second minimum display time. The
proposed changes would not reflect Special Use permits approved by the Village within the last several years.
The Village Attorney reviewed the feasibility of applying the new regulations to the existing signs. He found that
in order to make the changes applicable to existing signs, the revised ordinance must evidence an intent to be
. PZ-35-05

applied retroactively by specifically stating that it applies to pre-existing signs. In addition, the validity of a
retroactive application of the new ordinance will depend upon whether the public welfare demands retroactive
application and whether the pre-existing sign owner suffers an unreasonable exaction, i.e., does the public benefit
outweigh the owner's burden?
If a sign owner's cost to change the frequency is minimal and the Village can document the public benefit in
promoting public safety, the owner's burden would not outweigh the public benefit. Therefore, the retroactive
application of the ordinance should be valid. If the owner's cost is not minimal, there may be a different result
depending upon whether the owner's burden is outweighed by the public benefit. If the owner's cost to change the
frequency may be high, the Village could provide for a reasonable period of time in which to complete the
change. It will be very difficult for the Village to document the public benefit in requiring the existing signs to be
displayed for 15 seconds; therefore, Staff does not propose the new regulations apply to the existing signs. Also,
as stated in the previous Staff Report, Staff recommends a five (5) second display interval. However, the current
text amendment has been modified to reflect the Commission's recommendation.
In addition, the Sign Code currently does not limit Message Centers to freestanding signs. Staff does not propose
to change this because there may be locations where a wall sign that includes an Electronic Message Center is
appropriate. The proposed text amendments include provisions to ensure wall signs with electronic message
centers do not create a hazard or glare. A Special Use permit would be required for this type of sign, which
would allow theP&Z the ability to review the design to ensure it is designed properly.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed text amendments meet the standards contained in Section 14.203.D.8.b of the Zoning Ordinance.
Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the following:
"To approve the proposed text amendments to the Village's Sign Code as make a recommendation to the Village
Board to approve the text amendments as outlined above for case PZ-35-05. The Village Board's decision is
final for this case."
I concur:

Acting Chair Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Joseph Donnelly moved to approve the
minutes of the July 28, 2005 meeting and Ronald Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was approved 3-0
with Leo Floras and Keith Youngquist abstaining from the vote. At 9:24 PM Mr. Rogers introduced Case No.
PZ-35-05 a review of text amendments to the Village's Sign Code for Electronic Message Centers. He said that
this case would be Village Board Final.
Mr. Rogers inquired whether the Commission wanted to vote on the proposed text amendment at this meeting or
if they preferred to just discuss the proposed changes. The P&Z decided to discuss the changes and have Staff
modify the proposed text amendments based on this evening's discussion. The changes would be brought back to
the Commission at the September 22, 2005 meeting and would be voted on at that time.
Joseph Donnelly said the Commission had been requiring a 15 second display time for electronic message board
. signs, and asked why the text amendment called for a five (5) second display. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner,
explained that research indicated that a 15 second display was not appropriate for all uses as the entire message
may not be able to be read due to the lengthy display time. She said that since the electronic message centers
required Special Use approval, the Commission could require a longer display time if they determined five (5)
seconds was too short for a specific location. Mr. Donnelly inquired about a two (2) minute display interval for
CVS signs and said he preferred a 15 second display time.
Mr. Rogers said the Commission should review the requests on a case by case basis, and that he wanted a 15
second display. He said a shorter display time could be approved if it was deemed appropriate. He described the
Northwest Electric sign and noted how its multiple colors make it difficult to look at and drive. He said that the
Frankie's sign was too distracting. Mr. Rogers stated that the text amendments should require a more static
message and have less scrolling text. He said it is distracting when the text appears from various directions and
that he prefers uniformity when displaying text because it minimizes distractions.

Mr. Donnelly said that it is difficult to read scrolling messages at higher traffic speed and that only static
messages are legible. Leo Floros said that he disagreed and that it was not the government's responsibility to
regulate signs so closely. He noted that too much regulation limits businesses ability to advertise their products.
He said that the business suffers when the sign is not legible and that most businesses use signs as a means of
improving their business.
Mr. Rogers said that regulations are necessary because the signs can distract drivers. Mr. Floros said that most
drivers will focus more on the road and their driving than the sign. The Commission discussed to what extent
signs can and should be regulated.
Keith Youngquist said that 15 seconds is too long to display a message because the entire message cannot be read
at one time. Ronald Roberts said that one line of text should have different regulations than a multi-line message.
He said he prefers the Sign Code adopt a more conservative approach to sign regulations.
Mr.Youngquist stated that electronic message centers are becoming more prevalent. The Commission discussed
whether a 600' separation between electronic message centers was sufficient.
Tom Reindl, 600 Business Center Drive, was sworn-in. He said that his sign has an electronic message center and
it has been in use for almost three (3) years. He said it has been a beneficial tool in promoting products and
attracting customers. He summarized how electronic message centers are used differently by chain stores than by
independent stores. He described how the timing interval helps 'punctuate' messages and said that you may loose
information when the interval is too long. He said it has been his experience that people respond differently to the
timing of the signs and that he prefers a three (3) second interval. He noted that a 15 second display would not be
appropriate for their use. There was discussion on landscaping and how trees can block signs.
Ellen Divita, Deputy Director of Community Development, raised the issue of how the 600' separation can limit
competition and create advantages for businesses with the electronic message centers. She asked whether the
Commission wanted the text amendment to include provisions that addressed lot width. There was further
discussion on spacing between signs and the length of time the text should be displayed.
The Commission made the following modifications to the proposed text amendment as outlined in the Staff
Report:
Sec. 7.330.A.l: Continue to require a 600' separation between electronic message centers; the Commission will
review Variation requests for signs located closer than 600' from another electronic message center;
Sec. 7.330.A.2: Eliminate the requirement to display time and temperature;
Sec. 7.330.A.3: No changes from text listed in Staff Report;
Sec. 7.330.A.4: No changes from text listed in Staff Report;
Sec. 7 .330.A.5: Per the 3-2 vote, the Commission is requiring a 15 second display time with the stipulation that a
shorter display time may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Also, the electronic message center text has to
be a uniform color, the text cannot scroll, and the text has to appear on the message center in a uniform
manner, i.e. cannot explode onto screen from various locations.
Sec. 7.330.A.6: No changes from text listed in Staff Report;
Sec. 7.330.A.7: Create regulations that require gasoline price signs to be static, that the signs have intensity and
color regulations.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
DATE: AUGUST 5, 2005
SUBJECT: WATER & SEWER RATE STUDY AND COMBINED SEWER PROJECT FUNDIN
SOLUTION
PURPOSE
To present the results of a water and sewer rate study conducted for the purpose of funding water
and sewer operations and provide a funding source for the combined sewer project.
BACKGROUND
. A study of the Village's combined sewer system was completed in 2004. The study showed
extensive repairs were needed to the system estimated at $15,000,000 over a 10-year period. In
addition, the Water and Sewer Fund has been operating at a deficit for the past several years as
operating and capital expenditures exceeded revenues generated by user charges. In response to
these two items, a water rate study was conducted to determine the appropriate level for water and
sewer charges. The study took into consideration the regular growth in operating expenses and the
additional capital needs related to the combined sewer project.
DISCUSSION
The Water and Sewer Fund is classified as a Proprietary Fund, which means revenue generated
through user charges and other water and sewer related functions is intended to fully support the
operation of the fund. Over the past several years this has not been the case. Expenditures for
operating and capital items have exceeded annual revenue causing a draw down of fund balance.
Although fund balance in the Water and Sewer Fund remains strong (currently above 25%), this
spending pattern cannot continue without an adjustment to the water and sewer rate structure. In
addition, a new funding source is needed to support the current and future capital needs of the
water and sewer system.
An analysis was conducted on the water and sewer fund to determine the appropriate level of user
charges needed to support regular operating expenditures. Included in the attachments are
summary sheets of the results of the study. Attachment A is a summary of projected operating and
capital expenses for the five-year period 2006-2010. Attachment B is a summary of water and
sewer rate projections needed to support the projected spending plan during the same five-year
period. Attachments C1-C5 are the individual rate calculation sheets illustrating how the rate
projections were derived. Attachment D is a summary of rates being charged by other JAWA
communities, Mount Prospect residents supplied by Illinois American Water and the communities
supported by the Northwest Water Commission. An explanation of each of the attachment will
follow.

Water & Sewer Rate Study and Combined Sewer Project Funding Solution
August 5, 2005
Page 2
Attachment A is a summary of projected operating and capital expenses for the five-year period
beginning 2006. This information was pulled from the Five-Year CIP with no changes except for
one item. In the Five-Year CIP, the combined sewer project anticipated expenditures of $2 million
in each of the first two years then $1.5 million for the remaining three years. In Attachment A, the
amount budgeted each year for the project has been reduced to $1 million. Discussions with the
Director of Public Works indicated that the issues listed in the combined sewer project study could
be addressed at this lower spending level although it will take approximately fifteen years to
complete versus ten years under the original plan.
Column one of Attachment A shows total annual expenditures for the Water and Sewer Fund. The
next three columns show capital projects broken down by water and sewer functions with a sub-
total for all capital expenditures. The last three columns show the operating expenditures again
broken down by water and sewer with an operating sub-total. The final column is the average
growth in operating expenditures over the five-year period. Based on this information, the growth in
operating expenditures averages 4.37%. If you recall, the annual increase to water rates has been
4% the past several years. This was done to have more moderate increases on a regular basis
than large spikes to the rate every few years.
Attachment B is a summary of water and sewer rate projections needed to support the projected
spending plan during the five-year period. The first four columns show the projected water rate,
projected sewer rate, the combined total rate and percent increase from the prior year. Based on
the current spending plan, rates in the first year are projected to go up 20.5%. The large increase in
the first year is due to several factors. First, annual rate increases in the past have failed to keep
pace with the normal growth in operating expenditures. Second, a portion of the water rate has
been subsidizing sewer expenditures. The current sewer rate is $0.40. The actual rate needed to
support the sewer function in 2005 is $1.36. Finally, capital projects have been funded using
available fund balance rather than through current revenues. The increase for years two through
five show a downward trend from 11.5% in year two to just 1 % in year five. This is due to lower
planned capital expenditures for these years (see Attachment A). For comparison purposes a
schedule showing how the rates would be affected if a flat annual increase of 5% (after the initial
increase) were used rather than the trending schedule calculated under the expenditure formula
(final two columns). As you can see by year four, the projected rates under both methods are
nearly identical. It would be at this point where we would next evaluate water and sewer rates.
Attachments C1 through C5 are the individual rate calculation worksheets illustrating how the rate
projections were derived. The top section of each worksheet includes the formula used to arrive at
the projected water rate. The water rate includes an operating and a capital expense component.
Revenues generated outside the water charge are deducted from total expenses. For water
purposes these are Special Service Area taxes and other miscellaneous revenues (interest income,
tap-on fees). The new total is then divided by estimated number of gallons billed (1,457,175) to
come up with the projected water rate. As a side note, the Special Service Levy adds
approximately $1.05 per 1,000 gallons to the water and sewer rate and is set to expire in 2017 per
Village Ordinance.
The next section of the worksheet includes the formula used to arrive at the projected sewer rate.
Again, the sewer rate consists of an operating and a capital expense component. Like the water
rate, revenues generated outside of sewer charges are deducted from total expenses. For sewer
Water & Sewer Rate Study and Combined Sewer Project Funding Solution
August 5, 2005
Page 3
purposes this includes interest income and other miscellaneous revenues. The new total is then
divided by estimated number of gallons billed (1,457,175) to come up with the projected sewer rate.
The new revenue component under this section is made up of a proposed monthly customer
service fee and an additional amount to be added to the sewer rate. These additional revenues
would be used to support the combined sewer project. The monthly service fee is proposed at
$5.00 per month. The additional amount added to the sewer rate is $0.26. These charges will be
described in further detail later in this memo.
The third section of the worksheet provides information on the current rate, the proposed rate
according to the expenditure formula and actual rate adjustment that would be made. This section
also includes the dollar and percent increase from the current rate to the actual rate adjustment.
For example, on Attachment C1, the current water rate is $4.09. The current sewer rate is $0.40 for
a total combined rate of $4.49. The proposed rate per the formula is $3.78 for water and $1.37 for
sewer for a total combined rate of $5.15. The actual rate adjustment would be $4.09 for water and
$1.06 for sewer for the same combined rate of $5.15. Rather than adjust downward the current
water rate, the sewer rate increase was reduced to return the same combined rate as the formula.
The sewer and water rates would then be corrected in the following year to reflect their appropriate
amounts. The increase in the rate from 2005 to 2006 is $.66 or 14.8%. Including the new revenue
component needed to fund the combined sewer project, the increase in the rate is $0.92 or 20.5%.
The last section of the worksheet describes the new revenue component of the sewer rate
calculation. In order to fund the projected $1 million annual combined sewer project expense, a
monthly customer sewer fee is proposed. The monthly fee of $5.00 per month is proposed. Based
on the number of accounts currently active with the Village, this new fee will generate $628,140.
The balance of the $1 million needed is proposed to come from an additional sewer charge of $0.26
per 1,000 gallons. This additional sewer fee will generate $378,866. For comparison purposes, if
the sewer service fee were to be increased to $7.50 per month, it would generate $942,210
annually. This lowers the additional amount needed from the sewer rate to $0.04. The monthly
service fee could be implemented immediately to begin building a reserve for the combined sewer
project.
Attachment D is a summary of rates being charged by other JAWA communities, Mount Prospect
residents supplied by Illinois American Water and the communities supported by the Northwest
Water Commission. The current Mount Prospect combined rate for those users on the Village
water system is $4.49 (per 1,000 gallons). The average rate among the communities surveyed is
$4.47 with a high rate being charged to Mount Prospect residents serviced by Illinois American
Water ($7.30). The low rate is from Elk Grove Village with a rate of $3.67.
Four of the ten communities charge a monthly service fee that ranges from $5.20 to $9.00 month.
Three communities were able to provided future projected increases in their water and sewer rates.
These projected increases range from 5% to 5.89%.
Water & Sewer Rate Study and Combined Sewer Project Funding Solution
August5,2005
Page 4
CONCLUSION
The rate increases being recommended are necessary to maintain the funding needed to support
ongoing operations. In addition, the new revenue component for the sewer function is necessary
for support of the combined sewer project on a pay as you go basis. The additional cost to the
typical homeowner as a result of these rate increases is $148.32 per year.
Increases to Village water and sewer rates have traditionally been done on June 1. Along with the
proposed rate increases we would recommend to move the annual rate increase from June 1 to
January 1 to match the Village's budget cycle. The initial rate increase would be anticipated for
January 1, 2006.
RECOMENDA liON
It is recommended that the Village Board approve the following:
1) Implement a monthly service fee for all users of $5.00 beginning as soon as
possible; and
2) Implement the proposed rate increase for the first year from the current combined
rate of $4.49 to $5.41 beginning January 1, 2006; and
3) Authorize future annual water and sewer rate increase of 5% each January 1,
thereafter

MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Community Development Department
TO:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM:
WILLIAM J. COONEY, JR., DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOP
DATE:
SEPTEMBER 26, 2005
SUBJECT:
CRC FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS - 2006 ACTION PLAN BUDGET
BACKGROUND
As a HUD entitlement community, Village of Mount Prospect receives an annual allocation for the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Part of the grant application is the
Annual Action Plan, which allocates funds to various programs serving low- to moderate-income
residents. Attached are the funding recommendations for 2006 to meet priorities determined during
last year's discussion of the Consolidated Plan.
The 2006 CDBG allocation has been estimated to mirror the 6% federal budget cuts. In 2005, the
Village of Mount Prospect received $426,381 and expects to receive approximately $400,798 in
2006. HUD allows 15% ofthe annual allocation (plus 15% of the previous year's program income)
to be granted to public service programs. The amount available to public service programs for 2006
is approximately $77,730.
2006 ACTION PLAN BUDGET
To assist in the Community Relations Commission (CRC) review of the 2006 CDBG budget, Staff
provided an applicant summary and preliminary budget recommendations. On August 24,2005, the
CRC held a Public Hearing regarding the 2006 CDBG budget, which allowed each of the public
service applicants to present their 2006 funding applications. On September 1, 2005, the CRC held
a meeting to discuss the various funding requests and to make their final budget recommendation to
the Board of Trustees. The following is a summary of the substantial changes between the 2005
budget and the 2006 budget.
Public-Service Programs
. District 26 Summer Camp. For the past few years, Campfire U.S.A. has administered
"Campin' Kids" at Euclid School. This year, Greater Wheeling Area Youth Outreach
(GW A YO) submitted a duplicate request for a summer camp. The CRC recommended
1::>
2006 CDBG Budget Recommendations
Page 2 of3
funding to Campfire U.S.A., but United Way did not elect to fund the agency. Campfire
U.S.A. has withdrawn their application since the CRC made their funding recommendations
(please see the attached letter from Campfire U.S.A). Staff would like to continue funding a
summer camp for the Boxwood area kids and recommends funding GWAYO's District 26
Summer Camp.
· Youth for Christ - Aspire Program. The CRC elected to fund a request by Youth for Christ.
The Aspire Program will provide job training and interview skills to youths in the Boxwood
area. This is a new program that will meet Priority 8 of the Consolidated Plan: Economic
Development. The program does not have any religious prerequisites for program
participants and builds upon an existing relationship between the organization and the
Boxwood residents.
· Girl Scouts. The CRC recommended that the Village discontinue funding programs through
Girl Scouts. The activity has been identified as a service overlap and the CRC indicated that
the format of the program was not what the commission envisioned to integrate female
minority youths into Girl Scout troops in the form of a scholarship.
· Dream Makers Program. Dream Makers is an after school tutoring and mentoring program
for middle school and high school students administered by GW A YO. The funds requested
would service students from John Hersey High School and Rolling Meadows High School.
The purpose is to empower 16 Mount Prospect young people from lower income families
with the opportunities, skills, and vision to achieve long-term dreams and goals. The
students are also assisted in finding part-time jobs and internships. The program currently
has 19 students attending college and celebrated their first college graduation. The CRC
recommended funding for this program.
Low/Moderate-Income Proiects
· Search Development Center. Search Development Center is committed to providing safe
and comfortable living for adults with developmental disabilities. The organization has
three group homes in Mount Prospect, two of which have submitted rehab proposals relating
to accessibility: an accessible ramp at 2013 Pin Oak and replacing a concrete driveway to
avoid trip hazards at 908 S. Golfview Road. The accessibility improvements will prolong the
length of time the residents stay in the community. The CRC recommended full funding for
the rehab of two homes in Mount Prospect.
· Wall Street Resurfacing Proiect. The Public Works Department has requested repair of
Wall Street, which is located in a low- and moderate-income area. The street was
constructed in 1988 and the project would include intermittent curb repair, grinding of the
existing asphalt surface and installation of new asphalt pavement surface. Staff
recommended full funding for this project.
· LaSalle Street Resurfacing Proiect. Similar to the Wall Street request, the Public Works
Department has requested repair of LaSalle Street, which is also located in a low- and
moderate-income area. The street was constructed in 1988 and the project would include
2006 CDBG Budget Recommendations
Page 3 of3
intermittent curb repair, grinding of the existing asphalt surface and installation of new
asphalt pavement surface. Staff recommended partial funding for this project due to the
budget cuts.
CONCLUSION
The Village Board is asked to consider the funding recommendations as they relate to the 2006
Action Plan. To assist in your review of these issues, the following items have been attached:
. Letter from Campfire U.S.A.
. 2006 CRC Recommended Budget
. Summary of Applicant's Request
. August 24th draft CRC Public Hearing Meeting Minutes
. September 1 st draft CRC Meeting Minutes
In order to meet HUD's timeline requirements, the Village Board must approve the 2006 Action
Plan budget by October 5, 2005. This will allow for the required 30-day public review period and
timely submission to meet HUD's deadline.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their October 4th meeting. Staff will be present at the meeting to answer any
questions regarding this matter.

Village of Mount Prospect

50 S. Emerson Street
Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056-3218
Dear Clare,
Greetings from Camp Fire USA. It is with great sadness that I write this letter
because we are regretfully withdrawing Camp Fire's .proposal for our Campin'
Kids program held at Euclid School. This decision was not made in haste, but
with much deliberation between my Executive Director, jean, and myself.
Proposed funding reductions from COSG as well as from the Northwest
Suburban United Way have made it impossible for us to continue to offer the
Campin' Kids program.
Two weeks ago. I received a phone call from Phillip Herman of the Greater
Wheeling Area Youth Outreach Program. He informed me that he had submitted
a proposai to work in the north side of town, besides his already existing Summer
Adventure program in the Souths ide of town. I immediately made phone calls to
you" Clare. about our funding possibility for the 2006-year, and I also spoke to
Marcia McMahon with United Way.
Camp Fire is certainly aware of the fact that Phillip's organization, GWAYCO, is
housed within the community and that the agency is based on educational
support for the youth. We understand that United Way and COSG are both
seeking for a broader base Of educationai programs for the youth In the summer
camp program, as well as extension of hours,
Monies Camp Fire received from United Way and CDBG went directly for the
counseior saiaries, and some program costs to provide activities for the children.
Over the years, Camp Fire has subsidized the program by picking up the
additional costs for supplies plus the cost of Camp Fire personnel. Unfortunately,
Camp Fire will not be able to compensate for the United Way loss as well as the
CDSG reduction. And we would be unabie to extend the program time whIch
would result in additional salary costs for the counselors.

When Camp Fire received more COBG funds, we brought the children to the
SCORE center for two years. Here, children had the opportunity to work on
computer programs that were directly linked to their abilities. At the time, we
were able to rent buses to provide this program for the children. We know that
the program offered by GWA YO is able to offer these additional educational
programs since it IS what they do. And they have their own buses (which we
tried to make use of as much as we were allowed) to bring the children to their
facilities. So, we do understand the dilemma that ~our Board needs to consider.
-..-/
Camp Fire was proud to be of service to the village of Mt. Prospect for the past
six years and offer our program for the children of the Boxwood area. We know
that Camp Fire came forward when there was a need to continue the summer
program at Euclid School. And, we have tremendously enjoyed working with
these children and the families. It is with much sadness, that we are withdrawing
our request.
I would like to thank the Board for their support, and let them know that we feel
what is most important is that there be a summer program for the children in the
Boxwood area. i wlii speak to ail of my contacts that we have estabiished over
the six years in this community, and ask them to continue to support these
children by continuing their support throuS'Jh the new agency. I will also speak
with the principal at Euclid School to thank her for the school/staff support and let
her know that the program wlil be changed for next summer.
Thank you, for supporting Camp Fire in its delivery of the Campin' Kids program
_.. and for your support in what we do! It has been a great pleasure,
Sincerely,
~tffw)

Summary of Public Al:!:encies' Requests
The following describes all low- and moderate-income projects and public service activities to receive
Community Development Block Grant funds during fiscal year 2006. Staff has received an initial
estimate from HUD that the Village's 2006 CDBG allocation will mirror the 6% decrease in federal
funding. The entitlement amount is estimated as $400,798 (as compared to the 2005 allocation of
$426,381). HUD allows only 15% of the annual allocation (plus 15% of the previous year's program
income) to be granted to public service programs. With this in mind, the projected available 2006 funds
for service programs will be $74,941.69
ADMINISTRATION
HUD allows communities a 20% administration cap. Based on HUD's calculations, Mount
Prospect's estimated allocation is $400,798. Of this allocation, $80,000 is available for
administration costs. In 2005, the Village allocated $72,000 (16%) of CDBG funds toward
administrative costs. The Village anticipates spending $74,000 (18%) of CDBG funds toward
administration costs in 2006. The percentage of administration funds is higher than in past years
due to the decrease in federal funding, which will likely lower the entitlement grant amount.

The Community Relations Commission (CRC) of the Village of Mount Prospect met Thursday,
August 24, 2005 in the Village Hall of the Mount Prospect, Illinois, 50 South Emerson Street.
CALL TO ORDER
Chairperson Tolbert called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Chairperson Tolbert explained that
the purpose of the Special Meeting was to hear requests for Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funds. He stated that if anyone needed more information about CDBG, staff and
the commission could answer questions at the end of the meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
Ms. Kim Lutz, WINGS, presented the agency's request for 2006. She recapped the agencies
services provided through the grant. Mount Prospect residents account for 4% of transitional
housing and 5% of those living in their Safehouse. Women and children in need utilize their
services for approximately two years in transitional housing. The commission questioned if the
agency had anyone on a waiting list and Ms. Lutz stated that they do not have a waiting list, but
they have to determine if the different services are a good fit for their clients. Chairperson
Tolbert inquired if WINGS has created partnerships with other organizations. Ms. Lutz stated
that clients are referred to CEDA Northwest, Children's Advocacy Center, and DePaul
University. She mentioned that the agency is trying to diversify their funding sources though two
thrift stores.
Ms. Dianne Kovack represented Clayground and described their funding request. She
mentioned how the kids have been able to take advantage of their services this summer.
Ceramics is the most popular program of the services offered. The program is designed to
teach self-esteem and creativity. Other benefits are the kids staying off the streets and learning
to socialize in a group setting. Chairperson Tolbert encouraged Ms. Kovack to pursue
additional funding sources from local agencies.
Access to Care representative, Ms. Victoria Bigelow, thanked the Village of Mount Prospect for
their continued support. The community is targeted by the local support of the CDBG funds.
The funds are able to support the local population who are not insured through their job or who
are unemployed. The most common diagnoses are diabetes and heart disease, which require
regular doctor's visits and medication. Access to Care is able to significantly reduce the costs of
health insurance through partnerships with doctors and medical companies.
Campfire USA representatives Ms. Linnea Pioro and Ms. Jean Lachowitz described the Campin'
Kids summer camp. They stated that 85 kids participated in the 2005 camp. The organization
has camp counselors and they offer an option of being a Junior Counselor to the older kids in
the camp. The organization works with local agencies to provide activities for the participants.
The Commission questioned the ratio of campers to counselors and Ms. Pioro stated that
normally there are 8 campers for every counselor. However, sometimes, the ratio will be 11: 1,
but there will be Junior Counselors in those groups.
Search Development Center representative Ms. Donna Catalano introduced her agency and
stated they have been involved in the community for 10 years. The agency has been operating
for 35 years. Currently, there are 3 group homes in Mount Prospect for developmentally
challenged adults. Their request is focused on the accessibility of their group home residents.
They are requesting funds to rehab two of their group homes: one is in need of a new driveway
and the other needs a new ramp. Their participants are aging and they would like to make sure
they can stay in the group homes as long as possible. The commission questioned their other
sources of funding and Ms. Catalano stated Search Development Center has formed a small
business. The business is a source of income and it also serves as a way to train the group
home participants with work experience. The Commission asked if they turn people away from
the home and Ms. Catalano stated that the State of Illinois determines who is eligible for the
group home living by awarding funding to those people.
Ms. Judy Rosen and Ms. April Foley presented on behalf of the Mentor Program. They stated
that there are approximately 100 kids served during the program year. The local schools
recommends the kids if they are considered to be at risk for many different reasons. The
Mentor Program breaks the pool of kids into groups based on age. The commission asked if
this program was similar to GW A YO's Dreammakers Program. Ms. Foley stated that they did
not serve the same population of kids in the community. The program relies on volunteers and
Ms. . Rosen is offering training to new mentors.
Girl Scouts representative, Ms. Mary Otte, presented her request to the commission. She
explained that there are five service delivery options. As with other public agencies, she
mentioned that funding is tight. The Girls Scouts rely on their cookie sales, but with enrollment
down, the income to the organization has been reduced. The commission asked Ms. Otte to
estimate how much a troop spends on each Girl Scout. Ms. Otte stated that approximately $185
is spent, which includes uniforms, workbooks and field trips. The commission also questioned
the amount of money spent on salaries and Ms. Otte responded saying that there are 38 full
time, employees and a number of part time employees.
Mr. Marshall Peterson represented Resources for Community Living as a board member. He
stated that the agency receives funding from 6 sources. The agency has increased the people
served throughout the years, but there are still people on a waiting list for their services. The
amount of services may vary for the people served based on their different levels of ability.
Children's Advocacy Center's representative, Mr. Mark Parr, thanked the Village of Mount
Prospect for their support and gave a brief summary of the services provided. He mentioned
that they collaborate with other agencies to maximize the assistance to those in need. The
commission asked who makes referrals to them. Mr. Parr stated that different police
departments and Department of Children and Family Services are the main sources for
referrals. The commission inquired about the amount of the budget spent on salaries and Mr.
Parr explained that it was a direct service agency. Salaries are one of the main expenses.
CEDA Northwest representative, Mr. Ron Jordan, explained to the commission that CEDA
offers over 30 services to address the interlocking reasons for people being low to moderate
income. The organization has three apartments in Mount Prospect for transitional housing. The
clients living in the apartments can live there for two years, while they stabilize their lives. Mr.
Jordan stressed that they are a local agency and are located in Mount Prospect. The
commission asked about their food pantry and Mr. Jordan stated that such services are
coordinated with the Village.
Mr. Scott Burgess presented Alexian Brothers Center for Mental Health's CDBG funding
request. Mr. Burgess stated that case management is the area they stress as any agency. This
approach helps them to follow-through with patients in need of mental health care. When asked
where the Alexian Brother's receives most of their referrals, he stated the participants are
usually recommended from police departments, churches, municipalities and family members.
The ages of those assisted with 2005 CDBG funds are 21-61 and the funds were used in the
first five months of the year.
Mr. Rod McKenzie, from Youth for Christ (Aspire Program), presented the funding request and
gave some background information to their agency. They began their youth ministry in 1990
and have moved to the Boxwood Area. Their program does not cost anything to the participant,
but everyone is required to sign a contract saying that they will follow through with the program.
Participants learn job-training skills from handshakes and eye contact to understanding the
hidden messages in interview questions. He gave examples how community business leaders
have participated in mock interview with the program participants.
Ms. Sandy Auguste, representing Journeys from PADS to HOPE, described their program and
services. Their main facility suffered damage recently from a sewage backup and they are
operating with only 1/3 of their building. The commission asked about remote PADS sites and
whether the sewage damage was communicated to program volunteers. Ms. Auguste stated
that there was some miscommunication, but they have been working to correct it.
Mr. Phillip Herman, GWAYO, presented his three requests for CDBG funding. All of his
program are based in education and breaking the cycle of poverty. The Dream Makers program
is a tutoring program designed to reach kids who may be underachieving or struggling in school.
Their Summer Adventure camp used partnerships with local school districts and 119 kids
participated this summer. Of those 119 kids, 107 were enrolled in summer school. The third
request is to run a camp similar to Summer Adventure camp for the north side of Mount
Prospect. Mr. Herman stressed the fact that GWAYO is a local organization and the camp can
be administered for less money. The commission asked if there was a waiting list for any of the
programs. Mr. Herman stated that there are high school females waiting to participate in the
Dream Makers program. When questioned about the demographics of the participants, Mr.
Herman stated that 2/3 of the kids are Hispanic.
ADJOURNMENT
The next meeting is scheduled for September 1, 2005 as a regular meeting to recommend 2006
CDBG funding for Public Services. The motion was adjourned at 9:35 p.m.

EXHIBIT A
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Village of Mount Prospect, Cook County, Illinois
(the "Village") will hold a public meeting on , 2005 at the Village Hall, 50 S.
Emerson Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 at 7:00 p.m. The Village desires to amend the
Downtown TIF No. 1 redevelopment plan. The purpose of the public meeting is to advise the
public, taxing districts having real property in the redevelopment project area, taxpayers who
own property in the proposed redevelopment project area and residents in the area as to the
Village's possible intent to amend the redevelopment plan and to receive public comment.
The existing Downtown TIF No. I is generally bounded by Northwest Highway on the
south and west, Central Road, Busse A venue and Evergreen A venue to the north, and Maple
Street and Owen Street to the east.
The proposed amendments include property generally located at the northeast comer of
Emerson Street and Busse Avenue, and property generally located at northwest comer of Main
Street and Central Road.
The purposes of amending the redevelopment project area are as follows: The proposed
amendments to the Redevelopment Plan provide for the Village to implement a series of actions
to facilitate mixed-use redevelopment within the Redevelopment Project Area. The
contemplated Village actions include, but are not limited to, implementation of a plan that
provides for: the attraction of investment to redevelop undemtilized properties and buildings;
the constmction of public improvements (including street and sidewalk improvements; utility
improvements; signalization, traffic control and lighting; off-street parking; and landscaping and
beautification); site preparation, clearance and demolition; rehabilitation; redevelopment of
mixed-uses within the RP A, and related professional costs. The Village would realize the goals
and objectives of the Redevelopment Plan through public finance techniques including, but not
limited to, tax increment allocation financing.
The following is a brief description oftax increment financing:
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) allows municipalities to canoy out redevelopment
activities on a local basis. The technique is used to pay for the public improvements and other
activities necessary to prepare the Redevelopment Project Area for private investment. Through
TIF, a community captures the increase in local real estate taxes which result from
redevelopment within Redevelopment Project Area. This increase in taxes may be used to pay
for the public costs involved in the project.
Under TIF, the current Equalized Assessed Valuation of all taxable real estate within the
designated area is identified by the County Clerk as of the date of the Village's adoption of the
TIF ordinances. This is the base Equalized Assessed Valuation (EA V). Taxes are levied on the
base EA V in the Redevelopment Project Area and such taxes are distributed to all taxing districts
including: the Village, the County, school districts, township, etc. However, the growth in
property tax revenues as a result of the private investment which increases the EA V in the
Redevelopment Project Area, the "tax increment" is then deposited into a "special tax allocation
fund". These funds are then used to pay for the public investment made in the Redevelopment
Project Area (also referred to as the TIF District).
The Village's Community Development Director, William Cooney, can be contacted for
additional information about the proposed redevelopment project area by phone at (847) 392-
6000 and by mail at 50 S. Emerson Street, Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056. All comments and
suggestions regarding the development of the area to be studies should be directed to Mr.
William Cooney.
All interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard at the public meeting.
