IV. CONSIDER CREATION OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUDICATION PROGRAM
The Village Attorney and staff have been discussing the viability of an Administrative
Adjudication process for several years. During the September 27,2005, Committee of the
Whole meeting staff recommended the establishment of an Administrative Adjudication
process in order to better respond to the variety and volume of the property maintenance
and nuisance violations typically addressed annually. The process has been implemented in
Park Ridge where they have seen positive results.
The Administrative Adjudication process is an alternative due process procedure established
to conduct hearings and make findings on violations and assess fines, if necessary. The
state statutes allow home rule communities to establish an Administrative Adjudication
process. This process would be the venue for hearing all cases currently utilizing the
housing court in Rolling Meadows. This process would also become the venue for local
ordinance (LO) tickets/complaints written by the police department for non-moving violations.
The main advantage of this process is primarily local control and much faster turnaround for
compliance or fine assessment. This process would significantly reduce the number and
length of continuances since the maximum period is defined in the attached ordinance.
NOTE: ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO A TTEND THIS MEETING BUT BECAUSE OF A
DISABILITY NEEDS SOME ACCOMMODA TION TO PARTICIPA TE, SHOULD CONTACT THE
VILLAGE MANAGER'S OFFICE A T 50 SOUTH EMERSON, MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS 60056,
847/392-6000, EXTENSION 5327, TDD #847/392-6064.
Administrative Adjudication requires similar procedures as a court of law, including notice
and service requirements, evidence regulations, judgments, defaults, and appeal
procedures. Sample documents are attached for your information in addition to an outline of
the adjudication steps and a flow chart illustrating the steps. The hearing officer would be
one of the key components to this process to ensure the ordinances are complied with as
intended by the Village Board. The hearing officer would typically be an attorney or retired
judge, someone with extensive legal experience. The hearing officer would be paid based
on per diem rate based on the number of days per month hearings would take place. While
an actual hearing location has not yet been recommended, it would be logical to consider
the use of the Village Board room or the Police/Fire Training room for this process.
Village Attorneys Everette M. Hill, Jr., and Kathleen Henn will be in attendance to facilitate
discussion and answer questions.
V. REVIEW OF APPENDIX A OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
The Appendix A document is the culmination of over three years of work by staff to identify
and consolidate all Village Code sections that relate to fines or fees. The purpose of this
effort was threefold and described below.
. Complete review and enhancement of the Village fee and fine schedule.
. Confirm the consistency of the extensive rewrite of the Development and Building codes.
. Correction of any errors in the general text of the Village Code with respect to the
existing Appendix A.
During the review of the fees and fines some items had not changed in 50 years and the
associated fees were so low as to be meaningless and the administrative effort far
outstripped the revenue collected. For example, staff could not investigate, cite, and
prosecute a violation for less than $100 and many times the actual costs are much higher.
So in order to bring the cost of enforcement closer to the actual cost of providing the service
or response several minimum mandatory penalties were increased (the draft lists the old
fees and fines in the left hand margin beginning on page 12). Applicable Departments
reviewed sections of Appendix A that were pertinent to their operation. Staff did not modify
any taxes, user fees or license fees. Such items remain the exclusive responsibility of the
Village Board. However, in the future when such changes are considered, the use of
Appendix A will be the only document that will need to be revised and the body of the
specific ordinance including the fee, fine or tax can remain unchanged.
Village Attorney Everette M. Hill, Jr., will be in attendance to facilitate discussion and answer
questions.

III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
None.
The Mayor requested the order of discussion items be changed so that the Feral and
Stray Cat Control discussion could take place first.
1
IV. FERAL AND STRAY CAT CONTROL DISCUSSION
Environmental Health Coordinator Bob Roels provided general information to the
Village Board. He stated many of the issues that his Division has had to deal with
regarding cats relate to noise, feces, odor and the killing of birds. He stated between
1999 and 2005, they have received 56 service requests at 24 separate locations. He
stated many times this situation is a neighborhood issue. He stated there are several
options that are available including an option to trap, medical check and then release the
cats or license the cats to generate funds necessary for animal control purposes and to
encourage responsible ownership. He stated a survey of surrounding communities
found that 14 of 30 communities require licenses and 10 of 30 impound strays. An
option to lend Village-owned traps would cost approximately $3,000 to purchase traps,
trap maintenance and distribution with the assumption that 30 cats per year would be
trapped including staff time, transportation costs, instruction and maintenance and
possible shelter costs. He stated the expansion of an animal control program usually
would fall to the Police Department for this service, however, there are some outsourcing
options available.
He stated the opportunity to trap, neuter and release would require a partner with a
sponsoring organization and caregivers to handle the release and adoption of trapped
animals. He stated that the licensing revenue would not cover the approximate cost of
such a program. He estimated that even with approximately $16,000 in revenue from
licensing of these animals, there would still be a net cost to the Village. He is
recommending the Village Code be modified to match the Cook County Code whereby
the Village language would state that the animals "may" be captured versus "shall" be
captured but without adequate funding source, he is unable to recommend any additions
to the existing program.
Village Manager Janonis stated that the cost of an animal control program would
require approximately two full-time CSOs plus a vehicle to pick up all kinds of animals,
not just dogs and cats but this service would likely include all animals, therefore, there
would be an additional liability exposure and an annual cost of approximately $150,000.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
There was a concern expressed regarding the release of the animals after a health
check up. There were also comments made regarding the administrative cost for license
processing and the option to offer the registration tags as a service to residents only for
identification purposes.
Liz Doughtery, 902 South Can-Dota, spoke. She stated she is aware of 10-15 cats
living under the neighbor's shed and is concerned about feces and dead birds and
possible disease in her back yard. She would be supportive of the Village entering into a
contract for removal with trapping.
David Schein, 512 NaWaTa, spoke. He stated the Village should consider licensing
cats in order to track whether rabies shots are maintained.
Walter Fisher, 904 Can-Dota, spoke. He stated he is concerned about health issues
and rabies exposure from these animals.
2
Consensus of the Village Board was to consider the licensing of cats the same as
dogs and request staff to provide an estimate for a private contractor to provide
animal control services.
V. CIRCULAR DRIVEWAYS
Community Development Planner Jason Zawila spoke. He stated the Village has
seen an increase in requests for driveway expansions as part of the tear down and
rebuild phenomenon that is going on in the community. The Planning and Zoning
Commission has recommended that driveways remain as a Conditional Use utilizing the
lot width, front lot landscaping and the inclusion of decorative material for the surface.
Staff has reviewed these recommendations and would suggest that the Board consider
allowing circular drives for lots of greater than 75 feet in width and if less than 35% of the
front yard coverage in total of hard surface would be allowed in addition to perimeter
landscaping. Staff is also suggesting the Planning and Zoning Commission be
considered as final on these items. Currently, the driveways are considered as
Conditional Uses with the Village Board being final. He stated staff defined the 35%
based on coverage already common in residential areas.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
Some concern was raised regarding the width of a circular driveway and the need to
consider 10 to 12 foot widths in order for two cars to comfortably be parked side by side.
It was also suggested that Village Board remains the only party to consider Conditional
Uses regarding driveways in this manner. It was suggested that lot coverage might want
to also include front and back yard as part of the consideration for the circular driveway.
Planning and Zoning Commission member, Joseph Donnelly, 1104 Juniper, spoke.
He stated that the Commission would like direction from the Village Board that is
consistent and enforceable and the Commission voiced concerns about work already
underway limiting driveway options for residents.
Matt O'Meara, 109 MacArthur, spoke. He feels he has been singled out by the
Planning and Zoning Commission based on his circular drive request. He feels that as
part of the rebuilding of the home on his property, his property is wide enough to
accommodate his request.
Russ Cecala, 903 Isabella, spoke. He stated that the Village Board should establish
regulations for driveway widths based on lot widths.
Jeff Everett, 118 North Maple, spoke. He is an architect and feels that a circular
driveway in an amenity for the property. He stated that the driveway width should be 12
feet wide and the Village should not mandate brick pavers. In fact, the 35% is too
restrictive.
Consensus of the Village Board was to consider staff recommendations at an
upcoming meeting after additional information is provided with the preferred
wider width and its impact on the percentage of lot coverage.
3
VI. OUTDOOR LIGHTING FIXTURES
Community Development Director Bill Cooney provided information regarding this
topic. He stated lighting regulations were approved in 2000 by the Village Board and at
this time he is requesting a few enhancements to those regulations but continue with the
spirit of the original Ordinance. He stated the modifications requested include fully
recessed bulb and a flat lens requirement within a fully shielded and full cutoff fixture.
He is also requesting the Village Board consider the option to use task lighting which is
utilized as a spot focus lighting on a specific location like a gas pump at a service
station.
Dave Toeppen, 409 South Hi-Lusi, spoke. He stated that he is happy with the stance
the Village Board has taken regarding community lighting and feels that the
recommended changes would save energy and provide lighting necessary without being
a nuisance to others.
Consensus of the Village Board was to consider staff recommendations at an
upcoming meeting.
VII. RESIDENTIAL PARKING REGULATIONS - DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
Community Development Director Bill Cooney provided a summary of this topic. He
stated the staff is bringing this topic forward as part of a review of parking demand in the
downtown and comparing that ratio to other towns to determine whether additional
parking should be considered for downtown development projects. He stated the
downtown parking deck is limited to four hours with business parking allowed beyond
that but there may be a need to consider overnight guest parking in the deck in the near
future. Developments of the type that are underway and have already been completed
in the downtown generally are supposed to rely less on automobiles than in the past. He
stated there is a need to build in flexible parking options on site.
General comments from the Village Board members included the following items:
It was suggested that the ratio be increased for a two bedroom unit to have two spaces
per unit and guest parking should be included in the development proposals. It was also
suggested that the parking deck can be considered for some parking relief for
developments if properly administered. It was also mentioned that there needs to be
some discussion regarding potential additional demand with new developments and their
impact on the downtown parking.
Village Manager Janonis stated that staff will review the parking deck issues and bring
back some recommendations to the Village Board at a future date.
Consensus of the Village Board was to increase the ratio so that two bedroom
units would be required to have a minimum of two parking spaces instead of 1.5
as currently required.

VIII. PROPERTY CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE NUISANCE ABATEMENT
Community Development Director Bill Cooney is presenting several staff suggestions
to address residential construction work and maintenance nuisance issues with the nine
recommendations.
1. Consider the Building Permit as a legal contract so that the Village could act on
the contract to ensure compliance.
2. Creation of a construction site maintenance guide for informational purposes.
3. General contractor test for homeowners acting as their own general contractors.
4. Reinspection fee increased to cover the actual costs of reinspection process.
The fee has been $25 for over 20 years.
5. Require architectural stamp on plans for projects over $10,000. The $10,000
value would be the construction value related to building modifications and not
replacement as in the case of kitchen cabinet work.
Consensus of the Village Board was to accept Items 1 through 4 and request
additional research and definition from staff regarding architectural stamp
requirements and thresholds for project value definitions.
6. Vacant Building Ordinance. The registration of owner information and annual fee
whereby a plan would be required for maintenance of the property and staff could
respond in a more timely manner when issues occur.
7. Nuisance abatement. This is a further definition to allow the ability the review the
abatement options and define "nuisance" more clearly for enforcement
procedures.
8. Abatement of nuisances. This would establish a process to address nuisances
directly with the property owner by establishing timeframes upfront.
9. Administrative Adjudication. This process would create a due process procedure
separate of the existing housing court to address the items that are currently
reviewed by the housing court. This would allow quicker turn around for issues
as they occur.
Consensus of the Village Board was to support the addition of items 6-9.
IX. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Village Manager Janonis stated the Family Bike Ride is scheduled for
October 1 and the Mount Prospect Historical Society desk auction is scheduled
for October 2.
X. ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Mayor Wilks stated she attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1601 Feehanville

Re: Administrative Adjudication System
Dear Mr. Janonis:
I am writing to provide you with an overview of the administrative adjudication system as
currently used by the City of Park Ridge. As Buzz may have info1TI1ed you, Park Ridge began its
hearings in March 2005. Park Ridge holds administrative adjudication hearings on the second
Tuesday of the month, and it has two calls on that date. At 1 :00 p.m., the housing and building code
issues are heard by the hearing officer. At 2:00 p.m., parking tickets and other code violations such
as underage drinking, disorderly conduct, and curfew violations are heard by the hearing officer. The
City plans to include overweight truck violations as part of the administrative adjudication system,
but the City has not issued any of those tickets yet. We have handled a range of between two and
nine housing cases per month and a range of twenty to fifty cases involving parking and other local
ordinance violation.
Prior to implementing the system, I participated on a committee that included the assistant
city manager, representatives from the Finance Department, the traffic compliance officer from the
Police Department and members of the Building Department to discuss how to set up the system.
We discussed staff availability for administering the system as well as for handling the hearing dates.
We also discussed the types of violations that were to be handled in COUlt versus in the administrative
adjudication system. We decided to start with just parking and building issues to keep it simple until
the system itself was in place for a few months. We also worked together to develop the ticket forms
to be used and the procedures to be put in place at the City. We drafted the following forms: ticket;
notice of hearing for those who request hearing of P ticket; subpoena, appearance; default order
form; order ordering community service; continuance order; and final determination of liability.
iManage 162164 1
Prior to issuing tickets to be heard before the administrative adjudication hearing officer, I
met with the officers and building inspectors who would be issuing tickets to review the ticket forms
and explain how the process would work. The committee also interviewed and selected a hearing
officer. Approximately one month prior to the first hearing date, we met with the hearing officer to
review how the system was intended to work and to obtain his input based on his experience in other
municipalities.
Since March, we have added numerous other violations to the list of those handled
administratively. We believe it worked well to start with fewer violations. We have also used the
hearings as a way to discover and correct problems with enforcement of various sections of the
City's Municipal Code. We have amended various sections of their Code to address particular
violations that were dismissed by the hearing officer and have been successful in correcting those
issues. In addition, the City decided to bring the underage drinking matters before the administrative
adjudication hearing officer and made arrangements for a community service option to be offered to
cover half of the fine. As a result, most minors who receive tickets for underage drinking plead
guilty and are ordered to pay a $250.00 fine and to complete twenty-five hours of community service
within a sixty-day period.
Each month, the administrative assistant to the assistant city manager compiles all the tickets
to be heard that month and prepares a docket sheet that lists the name of the offender, the offense
alleged, and the name of the officer who wrote the ticket. The docket also includes a column to write
in the hearing officer's ruling. I review the tickets and the docket sheet a few days before the hearing
date to determine whether there are any concerns or que~tions to discuss with the police officers. For
the housing and building code violations, I meet with each inspector who issued a ticket to discuss
the facts of those cases on the day of the hearing. The administrative assistant also compiles the
necessary forms to draft orders, to complete appearance forms and to advise offenders of the
availability of community service for certain violations.
On the day of the hearings, the City has one or two staff members, depending on availability,
check the offenders in. In addition, the administrative assistant functions like a court clerk and
handles the tickets as well as the orders entered. She also handles the tape recording of the
proceedings and calls the individual cases after the hearing officer gives an opening statement. The
hearing officer's opening statement advises the offenders of how the process works, including their
rights to appeal the matter to the circuit court, and swears in all those who will testify. At least one
staff memoer n:om tIle FiIiance Department checks the individuals in prior to the hearing and checks
the individuals out after the hearing. After the hearing, if found guilty, the individual is instructed to
show the hearing officer's order to the Finance Department representative and to obtain a receipt
used by the Finance Department to process payment of the fine imposed.
For the I :00 p.m. call, I am present as the City prosecutor and the inspectors are present to
testify. As you know, the proceedings are not as formal as court proceedings and the inspectors
typically provide a narrative for the hearing officer rather than responding to a direct examination.
For the 2:00 p.m. call, I also act as City prosecutor, but the police officers are not present. The City's
Code provides that the ticket is prima facie proof of the offense. Therefore, it is unnecessary for the
police officers to appear except on rare occasions. My role as a prosecutor is to respond to any legal
issues that may arise. Usually, the issue that arises is an interpretation of the relevant Code
provision. In addition to addressing specific issues, I meet with the offenders who have been charged
with violations other than parking violations to determine whether we can enter into an agreed order.
The City also provides a police officer to provide security in the City Council Chambers, where the
hearings take place. At the end of the call, the hearing officer states for the record that all those who
iManage ]62164 I
failed to appear will be served with a default order and authorizes the administrative assistant to send
out the default order.
The costs associated with running the administrative adjudication system include costs of the
hearing officer's time, the prosecutor's time and staff time. We estimate approximately four and a
half hours of time for the prosecutor on the day of the hearings and another hour or so throughout the
month. We estimate that the hearing officer charges for three and a half to four hours of time on the
day of the hearings. We estimate that the administrative assistant spends approximately thirty-five
percent of her time working on the administrative adjudication system and the Finance Department
staff spend about three days a month preparing for the hearings, attending the hearings and sending
out the necessary paperwork after the hearings.
To date, it has been the City's experience that most people who appear pay their tickets on
the day of the hearing or within ten days, as required by the Code. The City has not had as good of
luck obtaining payment from those individuals who default by not appearing. In general, there are
between five and eight people per month who fail to appear. We have had only one individual file an
appeal in the circuit court. An agreement was reached and the appeal was dismissed.
Based on my experience in working with Park Ridge staff to set up and implement Park
Ridge's program, I recommend that the following issues are reviewed and discussed by the Village
as part of setting up such a system in Mount Prospect:
1. What types of violations will be handled administratively versus in court
2. What type of training is required for those who will be issuing tickets
3. Will the Village obtain computer software to generate some of the paperwork
involved and, if not, what staff will be utilized to generate and maintain the
paperwork
4. Who will develop the forms and procedures to be used
5. How will you choose a hearing officer and who will be involved in the decision
6. Should there be a provision in the code for parking violators to contest the ticket by
mail
If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please feel free to contact
me. In addition, if you or any of your staff would like to come observe Park Ridge's system, please
let me know.
Sincerely,
KLEIN, THORPE & JENKINS, LTD.

directs the respondent to appear at a hearing before an Administrative Hearing Officer to
determine whether the respondent has failed to comply with the Administrative Hearing

any order of an Administrative Hearing Officer in any manner provided by law.
SECTION 8.2113: ELECTION OF REMEDIES:
In no case may the Office of Administrative Hearings conduct an adjudicatory hearing for
an alleged Code violation where the remedy provided for is a punishment of imprisonment.
Nothing in this Article, however, shall preclude the Village from petitioning a court of
competent jurisdiction to adjudicate any ordinance violation or an ordinance violation,
which provides the remedy of imprisonment, or from petitioning a court of competent
jurisdiction to impose the remedy of imprisonment for failure to comply with an order of an
Administrative Hearing Officer.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: SEPTEMBER 28,2005
SUBJECT: APPENDIX A - VILLAGE CODE
Attached is a copy of Appendix A for consideration by the Village Board on October 18.
The document is quite long so staff felt it was worthwhile to provide the Village Board
additional time to review the document prior to the meeting to consider adoption.
The Appendix A document is the culmination of over three years of work by staff to identify
and consolidate all Village Code sections that relate to fines or fees. The purpose of this
effort was threefold and described below.
. Complete review and enhancement of the Village fee and fine schedule.
. Confirm the consistency of the extensive rewrite of the Development and
Building codes.
. Correction of any errors in the general text of the Village Code with respect to
the existing Appendix A.
During the review of the fees and fines some items had not changed in 50 years and the
associated fees were so low as to be meaningless and the administrative effort far
outstripped the revenue collected. For example, staff could not investigate, cite, and
prosecute a violation for less than $100 and many times the actual costs are much higher.
So in order to bring the cost of enforcement closer to the actual cost of providing the
service or response several minimum mandatory penalties were increased (the draft lists
the old fees and fines in the left hand margin beginning on page 12). Applicable
Departments reviewed sections of Append ix A that were pertinent to their operation. Staff
did not modify any taxes, user fees or license fees. Such items remain the exclusive
responsibility of the Village Board. However, in the future when such changes are
considered, the use of Appendix A will be the only document that will need to be revised
and the body of the specific ordinance including the fee, fine ortax can remain unchanged.
APPENDIX A - VILLAGE CODE
September 28,2005
Page 2
The other objectives have been accomplished over this extensive review period. If the
Board would prefer to first discuss this item at a Committee of the Whole meeting, please
advise. It could be scheduled for October 11. If there are any questions, please contact
me.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mr. Michael E. Janonis, Village Manager
Village of Mount Prospect
FROM:
Everette M. Hill, Jr.
DATE:
July 14, 2003
RE:
New Appendix A - Bonds, Salaries, Fees and Fines
Attached find an ordinance updating Appendix A of our Village Code. We had three
objectives with respect to this update:
1, An exhaustive review and enhancement of our fee and fine schedules.
2. Assurance of consistency with the recent extensive rewrite of our Development
and Building Codes.
3. Correction of any errors in the general text of our Village Code with respect to
Appendix A.
With respect to Objective #1, we have reviewed every fine and fee within our Code. As
a matter of historical perspective, some of our fines are currently as low as $2.00 per offense.
Some have not been updated in 50 years. Our primary goal with respect to fines was to
assure that the Village is able, to the extent possible, to visit the cost of enforcement on the
violator. As a rule of thumb, it is impossible for our staff to investigate a violation, cite the
violator and prosecute the violator for less than $100.00. In many instances, the costs are
much higher, Those expenses were foremost in our thinking in setting out our mandatory
minimum penalties. Each of the fine and fee updates has been reviewed by the department
which administers that particular regulation. The staff ideas and comments have been
considered and most are included in this proposed Ordinance. Please keep in mind that
none of the financial matters which are politically sensitive or within the exclusive purview of
Mr. Michael E. Janonis
July 14, 2003
Page 2
the Village Board have been changed. Such financial matters include taxes, use fees and
license fees.
With regard to Objective #2, we are confident that the new Appendix A is completely
consistent with the changes to the new Development and Building Codes adopted by the
Board in 2002.
As to the final objective, this has been accomplished by the first section of the attached
ordinance. In achieving this objective, no substantive changes have been made to our Code.
This first section simply assures that all references to bonds, fees and fines are accurately
cross-referenced to Appendix A.
We have highlighted new Code language and new fees and penalties. With respect to
changes in existing fees or penalties, the current amounts are written in the margins for
comparison purposes.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mike Janonis, Dave Strahl, and All Department Heads
Village of Mount Prospect
FROM:
Everette M. Hill, Jr.
DATE:
April 18, 2002
RE:
Fees and Penalties
As you are all aware, last year we adopted legislation moving all fees, bond amounts
and penalties to a separate Appendix A in our Village Code. Our primary purpose in doing
this was to make it easy to conduct a regular review of these dollar amounts. In the past
we've missed adjusting some of these fees and fines to the point of absurdity as you will see
when you review the attached document. In order to get our first such review moving forward,
I have attached Appendix A which contains my handwritten recommended increases in
certain fees and penalties. Because we've done a better job of keeping up with inflation and
recognizing our actual costs with respect to fees, most of my recommended changes involve
increasing the fines and penalties.
My objective was to make the fines as high as I believe the Courts will bear. We all
know that the Village will never collect enough fines over the course of a year to cover our
enforcement costs. Nonetheless, as you review this Appendix A, bear in mind that we'd like
to get as close to that objective as possible.
Since it will save us considerable money with our Codifier if we can submit our
changes with the engineering department's redraft of the Development Code, a quick
turnaround would be appreciated.

DRAFT
1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 7:06 p.m. Those present included Chairman Charles Bennett and
Commissioners Vince Grochocinski, John Kellerhals, and Tom Pekras. Also present were Deputy Director of
Finance Carol Widmer and Finance Administrative Assistant Lisa Burkemper. Commissioners Rich Micelli,
Ann Smilanic and Lee Williams were absent. Also absent was the Director of Finance David Erb.
II. ApPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Vince Grochocinski motioned to approve the minutes of July 28,2005. Commissioner Tom
Pekras seconded the motion and the minutes were accepted as presented.
III. DISCUSSION REGARDING VILLAGE BOARD AND FINANCE COMMISSION JOINT BUDGET WORKSHOP MEETING
Chairman Charles Bennett led a discussion regarding the Village Board Workshop and the items discussed at
the meeting. Chairman Bennett added that the Finance Commission will continue to offer their budget
enhancement advice and recommendations to the Board throughout the budget process.
Chairman Bennett asked for input from the members if they wanted to continue to present their original
revenue enhancements to the Board, modify their original recommendations or accept the positions the board
took at the workshop meeting.
Commissioner John Kellerhals expressed his concerns about how the process went during the workshop.
Commissioner Kellerhals felt the Finance Commission should have been able to address the issues first before
the board made their decisions. Commissioner Kellerhals voiced his objection to eliminating the vehicle
sticker and changing to direct billing for refuse. Commissioner Kellerhals also stated he felt surprised at some
of the topics of the meeting and felt the workshop was really not a true workshop.
Chairman Charles Bennett added that the other members of the finance commission were not as surprised at
some of the topics because the commission has participated in discussions related to the vehicle sticker/refuse
debate for several years.
Since Commissioner Tom Pekras was not able to attend the Joint Workshop meeting he asked Chairman
Bennett ifhe could summarize the outcome ofthe meeting. Chairman Bennett stated the Board had expressed
agreement in implementing the $5 per month service fee for water, implementing a new ambulance rate fee
schedule to include residents as well as non-resident and finally the Board was in favor of eliminating the
vehicle sticker and direct billing residents for refuse. Chairman Bennett also mentioned the Board was opposed
to raising multiple taxes like motor fuel, utility taxes etc.
Commissioner Vince Grochocinski asked why it was necessary to change to direct billing residents for refuse.
He stated why not add an additional amount to the property taxes that would equal the amount of money
needed to pay for the elimination of the vehicle sticker.
Chairman Charles Bennett asked to what degree the refuse fund is being under funded. Deputy Director of
Finance Carol Widmer stated that in 2004 the fund was short $189,200 out of a total refuse budget of $3.3
million.
Commissioner Tom Pekras added he would like to continue to present the Finance Commission's original
revenue enhancement recommendations to the Board. Commissioner Pekras also added he thought
Commissioner Grochocinski' s suggestion about adding the amount of money needed to pay for the elimination
of the vehicle sticker to the property tax bill was a good idea.
Commissioner John Kellerhals asked ifhe could have all supporting information that is included in the refuse
budget including every line item that is in the refuse program budget. Deputy Director of Finance Carol
Widmer stated that Commissioner Kellerhals could obtain that information from the budget book.
Commissioner Vince Grochocinski stated that he prefers the Finance Commission's original revenue
enhancement recommendations and reiterated that he would like to see the property taxes raised to cover the
elimination of the vehicle sticker and not bill residents directly for refuse.
Chairman Charles Bennett summarized that it was his understanding that the members present were happy
with the original revenue enhancements they presented to the Board and that they would continue to
recommend these enhancements.
DISCUSSION OF REVENUE ENHANCEMENTS
Chairman Charles Bennett presented a handout for discussion on parking ticket information. Chairman
Bennett stated he thought the commission could look at this revenue source and compare our rates with other
communities. Based on a brief discussion regarding the ticket rates of other communities, Commissioner Tom
Pekras stated that he would be in favor of increasing miscellaneous parking ticket fees from $20 to $25, which
would be more in line with neighboring communities. Commissioner John Kellerhals added that he would
support the $5 increase however he would like to have a warning system instead of an automatic ticket for
residents who park on village streets overnight.
Commissioner Vince Grochocinski asked if the budget figures the commission used during their revenue
enhancement! deficit reduction discussions had changed. Deputy Director of Finance Carol Widmer stated they
had changed because revised figures from sales tax and other increases in revenues have been received and
have reduced the deficit.
Commissioner Vince Grochocinski also expressed concern that as the deficit is decreasing the village should
not spend more money or add new initiatives just because money potential is available. Commissioner
Grochocinski added that in looking at future years the deficit will continue to increase and spending more
money now and adding new initiatives would affect the deficit in the coming years.
Commissioner John Kellerhals stated he would like Finance Director David Erb to briefly discuss the
Revenue/Expenditure handout that is provided to the finance commission each month. Commissioner
Kellerhals would like a better understanding of where the village is financially each month.
Chairman Charles Bennett added that he agreed that Mr. Erb could go through the handout and outline any
great variances or summarize what the commission should be looking at.
IV. CHAIRMAN'S REpORT
There was nothing to report.

V. FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Deputy Director of Finance Carol Widmer presented the finance commission members with the final version
of the 2006-2010 Capital Improvements Plan.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Charles Bennett stated he would entertain a motion to nominate a vice chairperson for the finance
commission. Commissioner John Kellerhals suggested that the members delay the nomination until the other
three members were present. Chairman Bennett asked if a member wanted to make a motion otherwise they
can defer the nomination until the next meeting. Commissioner Tom Pekras stated that he prefers to defer the
nomination until next meeting.
Commissioner John Kellerhals stated that he would like to see the finance commission get involved in the
discussion process of the new fire station 14 relocation project.
Chairman Charles Bennett stated that this has been a topic of discussion for several years and continues to be
discussed throughout the Budget and Capital Improvements Plan processes. Deputy Director of Finance Carol
Widmer added that the 2006-2010 Capital Improvements Plan includes a space study to address current and
future space needs before decisions are made regarding the new Fire Station.
Commissioner John Kellerhals also stated that he would like to have a discussion on the Capital Improvements
Plan. Commissioner Kellerhals would like to know the village's current funding plans and what projects
might have a higher priority across the board instead of by department. Commissioner Kellerhals would like
to look at the approach of picking a project out of the plan and then deciding how to fund it instead of finding
a yearly funding source for the plan that would pool money to pay for multiple projects.
VII. Next Meeting: October 13, 2005
Commissioner Tom Pekras motioned to adjourn which Commissioner Vince Grochocinski seconded. The
meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for October 13,2005.

intersection of Northwest Highway and Central Rd. She indicated her child crosses this

intersection to ensure safety. There was general discussion of safety at the intersection and
history of crossing guards in the Village. The Village Board indicated they were not in the
position to employ any further crossing guards for that intersection however; they would look at
means to improve pedestrian safety at this location. Further discussion included restricting
right-turn movements on westbound Central Road, striping and pedestrian signalization.

Ramesh Gandhi, 342 S. Maple: Mr. Gandhi indicated he lives in the Maple Street Town
Homes and was wondering if the $120 parking fee for the Village parking lot could be pro-rated
for individuals who do not utilize the parking for eight months. The Village Board members
asked staff to look into the current payment policy and would report back to the board whether
this would be a viable option to consider.
Lita Urban, 603 E. Greenwood: Ms. Urban stated she is concerned with cars parking on her
street between 2-6 am. She indicated she has called the police on several occasions and feels
that they have not been responsive to her concern. Trustees discussed police policy regarding
these types of complaints. They assured her that the police do in fact respond; however, this
type of call would not be a priority call if other, more serious issues were occurring on those
particular evenings. They asked Ms. Urban to call 911 when she witnesses cars parking during
these hours and that the police department would in fact respond to these requests.
Rob Batey, 1722 Martin Lane: Mr. Batey wanted to thank the Public Works Department for
their timely response to a parkway tree situation and general services throughout town. He
stated that he recently received his tax bill, which had increased significantly and feels that the
Village should be more active in ensuring the assessors office is aware of all work being done
on properties in town. He stated in his review of other properties in his neighborhood, he found
a big disparity between his assessed value versus other assessed values in the neighborhood. He
feels that the assessor was unaware of much work done without permits and thought the Village
could address the situation by more actively pursuing it. Mr. Cooney offered to sit down with
Mr. Batey to further discuss his ideas.
Larry Braus, Mount Prospect Jaycees: Mr. Braus stated he was here on behalf of the Jaycees
to listen to current issues throughout the Village. He stated he appreciates the Village's
continued support of the Jaycee's efforts and looks forward to continuing a positive working
relationship.
Katy Hansen, 103 Eastwood: Ms Hansen read a letter she received from the Village regarding
her on-going dispute with a neighbor. She indicated that she felt the letter was very harsh and
downplayed the significance of the situation occurring in her neighborhood. The Board
reiterated their willingness to work with Ms. Hansen but stated that she still needed to follow
the protocol established at many previous Coffee With Council discussions. They advised her
to call 911 when there were actions taking place on her neighbor's property that were creating
problems.
Jim Cmylik 1809 Locust and Greg Brulle 1813 Locust: Mr. Cmylik stated he was here on
behalf of himself and neighbor Greg Brulle regarding a concern they have with a building
permit. Mr. Cmylik stated that they were approved for a front yard sidewalk that was eight feet
wide and when the inspector arrived at the site, they were advised they could not have a
sidewalk that wide. He distributed a copy of the plat that was approved and there was general
discussion on the quality of the submittal. Mr. Cooney indicated he would meet with the owner
to further discuss the particulars of the project.
Margaret Lannen, 999 Elmhurst Road: Ms. Lannen gave the Village Board an update on the
various retailers at the Randhurst Mall. She stated that Steve and Barry's was hoping to open
by November 1 st, Bed Bath & Beyond by mid-November and that Pac-Sun had recently opened
within the mall. She stated that the parking lot at the northeast portion of the site is currently
under re-construction and that this would have a significant impact on that area of the mall. She
stated, generally, the mall has had an uptake in sales, but they were still working diligently to
further re-tenant the inside of the mall.

Kristina Marada, 210 S. Wille Street and Liz LaPlante, 206 S. Wille Street: Ms. Marada
stated that she and several neighbors are concerned with the Northwest Mosquito Abatement
District spraying technique. She stated that the chemical used by the District was not very
effective and had a potentially harmful impact on residents. She stated that the chemical used
was a carcinogen and that she believes puts residents at risk. She also indicated that she was
concerned what the Village may be using on parkways to eliminate weeds. The Village Board
discussed the issue at length and asked that Ms. Marada take this issue to the Northwest
Mosquito Abatement District first to see what type of response they would have. The Village
would have to weigh the West Nile Virus concern against the potential concern raised by Ms.
Marada. Board members stated that they would be open to the discussion, but that the
Northwest Mosquito Abatement District should be her first stop.
Lee Williams, 70 N. Albert: Mr. Williams stated that he was concerned there was increased
activity in his town home complex and that there could potentially be some illegal activity
taking place. He asked that the Village investigate this possibility. The Board stated that the
Police Department would take a look into his concerns.
David Poznanski, 1803 Burning Bush Lane: Mr. Poznanski expressed his appreciation of
Police Department efforts on Burning Bush Lane related to speeding. He stated that they have
noticed a significant decrease in speeding violations taking place since the police efforts. He did
request that the police try different locations in the middle of the block to catch other violators.
Donna Gloor, 1720 Sable Lane: Ms. Gloor stated she lives in the Sable Chase apartments and
that she is immediately adjacent to the Cook County school bus property. She stated that
recently the PACE busses have been parked on the property and idling the engines very early in
the morning. She stated that this is annoying from a noise standpoint and from exhaust fumes
that emanate on the property. Mr. Cooney stated that he would contact the Cook County bus to
determine if these busses can be relocated to a different portion of the property to minimize the
impact on the adjacent residential properties.
The meeting adjourned at 11 am.
