Trustee Hoefert
•Village should not be obligated to allow the sale of recreational cannabis just because the state
says we can.
Not enough information available to make a decision to opt -in at this time.
Supports a "wait and see" approach; supports decision to opt -out.
Trustee Zadel
• Decision to either opt in or out is made with the best interest of our own community in mind.
• Impressed with the medical facility in Mount Prospect; chain of custody required and quality
control procedures and protocol are very stringent.
• Regulation of the retail sale of cannabis produces a safer, more pure product.

Reasons to live in Mount Prospect far outweigh reasons not to live in Mount Prospect and
existence of a recreational cannabis dispensary will not change this.
Costs associated with legalization will exist with or without a recreational dispensary;
dedicating cannabis revenue toward public safety, public education etc., will help cover thos
costs.
Supports decision to opt -in.
Trustee Hatzis
• Difficult decision; weighed the pros and cons.
• The safety of our children is at risk; opt -out is the best decision for our community
• Supports decision to opt -out.
Trustee Saccotelli
Decisions are made my those who vote; referendum results showed the majority of Mount
Prospect voters voted to support the legalization of cannabis in Cook County.
Recommendations to opt -in were received from the Economic Development., Finance and
Planning and Zoning Commissions whose members are residents.
The conditional use process will allow the Board to carefully review and regulate each
application.
Supports decision to opt -in.
Trustee Grossi
• Reminded all that cannabis is illegal at the federal level.
• Black market is here to stay; the sale of recreational cannabis will not change this.
• Allowing the sale of recreational cannabis in Mount Prospect will affect our brand.
• Supports decision to opt -out.
Trustee Rogers
• Personally against legalization but considered all aspects when making decision for the
community.
• Understands cannabis will be available, but we, as a community, should not contribute to the
ease of accessibility to the product.
• Supports decision to opt -out.
Mayor Juracek
Issue should be considered realistically and practically; the State made the moral decision to
make it legal and now we must make a responsible, ethical decision for our community.
Decision is not solely based on tax revenue.
Legalization will regulate the sale, resulting in a safer, purer product.
Legalization provides a safe, legal source for those who use cannabis for both medical and
recreational purposes.
Supports decision to opt -in.
Motion by Michael Zadel, second by Colleen Saccotelli to approve the Opt -In Ordinance related to
recreational cannabis, including text amendment to Chapter 11 and Chapter 14 of the Village Code.

Ordinance No. 6493
7.1 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A SALES TAX SHARING AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT AND SPEED-GMX MOUNT PROSPECT, LLC TO COVER A PORTIO
OF THE COST OF INSTALLING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON RAND ROAD I
Director of Community Development Bill Cooney presented a tax sharing agreement between the
Village of Mount Prospect and the developer of Mount Prospect Pointe, Speed-GMX Mount Prospect
LLC. The project criteria included the installation of a traffic signal on Rand Raod which the
developer would assume all costs associated with this. The initial budget for the traffic signal was
$400,000. As the project developed, the scope expanded to include roadway improvements,
relocation of light poles and electrical work. This caused an increase in project cost to over
$900,000. The developer requested that the Village share in the cost of the added improvements
through a tax sharing agreement that would be funded through sales taxes generated by the
project. The Village requested assistance from financial consultant SB Friedman Development
Advisors to review and analyze the project pro -forma and budget. SB Friedman concluded the
agreement was viable.
The agreement would obligate the Village to share 50% of all sales and food and beverage taxes
generated from the property with Speed GMX Mount Prospect. LLC up to a maximum reimbursement
amount of $400,000. The term of the agreement is for ten years but it is estimated that the total
amount would be paid back in approximately four years. Mr. Cooney stated revenue estimates for
the project are approximately $223,100. Mr. Cooney stated staff supports approval of the
agreement.
Mr. Cooney provided the following in response to questions from the Board:
Completion of this project was at risk without this agreement; installation of the traffic light is
critical to this project.

?.VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT M
8.1 Rand Road/IL 83/Kensington Road Intersections Phase 1 Study Status Update
Village Manager Michael Cassady stated staff is seeking Board approval and authorization to continue
with the project. Director of Public Works Sean Dorsey introduced representatives from Patrick
Engineering,, Jeff Pisha and Jarrod Cebulski, led the presentation and provided an update on this
project
Mr. Pisha provided an overview of the project including results of the Phase I Study. The project
goals were presented that include improvements to pedestrian and bicycle safety, intersection
capacity and reduction of delays, property -to- property access. The engineering team developed
twelve (12) alternatives based on crash analysis, traffic analysis, and public feedback from an onlint
questionnaire and from a public meeting held in December 2018. Each alternative was evaluated
based on queuing, intersection delay, impacts to area businesses and planning level construction
costs. Mr. Pisha stated nine of the twelve alternatives were eliminated after the initial evaluation.
The three remaining alternatives, Alternatives 1. 1A and 1B were further evaluated. Mr. Pisha
presented details of alternative 1B as the preferred alternative that will provide the greatest
reduction in overall intersection queuing and total delay within the study area. Mr. Pisha provided
details on improvements that include the installation of turn lanes and thru lanes in the subject area
to achieve the desired outcome. Mr. Pisha presented next steps that include finalizing Phase I plans
for Alternative 1B and presented the overall project process. It is estimated Phase I will be
completed by July 2020. Phase II includes final design and contract preparation, negotiation of
property agreements and construction advertising. It is estimated Phase II will take 18-24 months
to complete. Phase III construction will take approximately one year to complete.
Ar. Pisha provided the following in response to questions from the Board:
• Project should not adversely affect residential properties in the area.
• Possibility of adding bike paths in the future.
• A dedicated left -turn lane will be added to west -bound Kensington Road to improve flow.
• Team will continue to engage and solicit input from the public.
The Mayor and Board provided authorization to continue with the Phase I process utilizing the
Alternative 1B approach as presented.
