III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
IV. MAPLE STREET PARKING LOT - PARKING ACCOMMODATION REQUEST
Ramesh Ganhdi, President of the Mount Prospect Town Home Association, has requested the Village
consider establishing a pro-rated system for Maple Street Lot parking tags so the residents and
related parties of his town home association could purchase parking privileges for only the months
necessary. Residents may only park in the Maple Street Lot between April and November. Mr.
Ganhdi has requested the option to purchase parking tags for less than the normal period of
consecutive months. For example, if a student were home from school for the summer, they could
purchase a parking tag for only the months they would be home compared to the cost of the tag for
the entire period when they only need a few months. Any change to the existing agreement will
require Board action.
V. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CODE MODIFICATIONS/FEE IN LIEU OF STORMWATER
DETENTION
Based on increasing feedback from developers of smaller residential building projects (teardowns and
small resubdivisions), staff would like to explore with the Village Board the concept of providing relief
from certain storm water detention requirements by allowing for payment of a "fee in lieu of' providing
the required storage on site. The "fee" would then be used to address storm water detention issues
on a larger scale basis. Given the steadily increasing number of teardowns and small residential
resubdivision projects, it is likely the fee will generate significant revenue that will allow the Village to
undertake larger scale projects.
The attached memorandum and back-up material will provide the basis for initial review. Appropriate
staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.
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

VI. REFUSE COLLECTION PROGRAM/ADDITIONAL WHEELED CART POLICY OPTIONS
In May of this year, the Village transitioned from a modified volume-based refuse collection program
to an unlimited volume wheeled toter program. The new solid waste program is designed around the
concept of a fully automated system and success hinges on residents using the wheeled toters. In a
few circumstances, the maximum issue of a 95-gallon refuse and a 65-gallon recycling cart may not
offer enough capacity on a weekly basis.
Residents have inquired about the availability of a second wheeled cart for refuse since the first
informational flyers were mailed. The Village's standard response to these inquires has been, "all
refuse and recycling must be contained in the cart and any refuse or recycling outside of the cart will
not be collected. If the cart is not meeting your needs, please call us in June to discuss options
available to you." The Public Works Department has developed several options to address the issue
of the availability and use of multiple carts for refuse and recycling service.
Appropriate staff will be on hand to answer questions and facilitate discussion.

III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD

IV. VILLAGE-WIDE FACILITIES STUDY
Village Manager Janonis stated that the Village Board has placed funds in fiscal year
2006 budget for a study of space needs. The study should be inclusive for a
comprehensive review for possible phasing regarding public safety needs. He stated
that he anticipated obtaining input for decision making as the process continues. This is
just an initial first step to evaluate existing facilities and make recommendations as to
which facilities could be altered for reuse and what facilities may need to be added to.
Fire Chief Figolah stated that the purpose of this study was not to look at making a
decision whether to move Station 14 or to move Fire Administration to another location.
The purpose of the study was to obtain cost recommendations of overall operational
review that may be impacted by existing space and space demands including storage
spaces which have been identified as lacking. While there are several options available
including expanding Police operations into the Fire Administration area in the Public
Safety Building, there are still other issues with the Public Safety Building including
parking that would have to be addressed before such an undertaking moves forward.
He stated Station 14 is very outdated and has been in the original building since the
Village assumed operation of the Station in 1971 and at that time was only to be a
temporary Station. He also stated that if a new Station 14 were to be built, staff
anticipates transferring the vehicle maintenance function to Public Works and such a
transfer would require some expansion of the Public Works vehicle operations facility.
1
He also stated there is a need for an Emergency Operations Center facility separate of
the existing facility as a back-up or primary location that has an alternate power source.
He said a logical location would be part of the Public Works facility since they would be
critical in any emergency operation anyway. There was also a need to maintain the
storage requirements for Public Works at some location convenient.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
Some comments were made regarding the need to address the current level of
preparedness and alternative location needs based on potential response scenarios. It
was suggested that over the past 13 years since the Public Safety Building has been
built, it would be worthwhile providing information regarding what has changed in terms
of operational needs since the building was built. There was a comment regarding the
use of technology to allow interaction of Police and Fire Administration without physical
location limitations. A question was asked whether annexations would have an impact
on service demands and whether such annexation options should be included in any
study document.
Chief Figolah stated that he would anticipate establishment of a staff committee to
evaluate consultant responses and provide general interviews and review of contracts in
anticipation of coming before the Board on July 18 for contract approval.
Village Manager Janonis stated that staff would advise the Board about the short list of
firms that responded.
Edwin Malszewski, 1810 Hopi Lane, spoke. He stated he is concerned about the
possible relocation of Station 14 from its existing location on the east side of the tracks.
Chief Figolah stated he has mailing addresses of people that have previously expressed
some interest in consideration of any discussion of Station 14 and they have been
contacted for this meeting and would continue to be informed as the discussion
continues regarding the future of Station 14.
Mal Halec, 927 Quince Lane, spoke. He stated he appreciated receiving notice of this
meeting and felt that the citizens and staff could work together to come up with a
reasonable solution.
Mike Brown, 2005 Hopi Lane, spoke. He inquired why it was necessary to utilize a
consultant and why staff could not undertake the study itself.
v. BRIEFING ON AT&T PROJECT L1GHTSPEED
Village Manager Janonis stated that this was for informational purposes only based on
AT&T approaching other communities and the recent press coverage regarding the
communities' response to permit applications for this upgrade.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl provided a general overview of the Project Lightspeed
infrastructure system and the potential impact of such a project on existing Franchise
Ordinances.
Village Manager Janonis stated it is likely there may be some banding together for legal
defense through the Councils of Government.

Trustees Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, John Korn and Michaele Skowron. Absent

III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
None.
IV. SMOKING REGULATIONS DISCUSSION
Village Manager Janonis provided an overview of the Smoking Regulations that have
recently been approved by the General Assembly. He also highlighted the smoking
regulations that have recently been passed by Cook County. He stated communities
were previously preempted by Statute to enact any smoking regulations but that
preemption has been altered by this recent Legislation. The Statutes now allow
communities to take local action regarding smoking regulations within their community.
He also stated the Cook County Ordinance which was recently enacted is to become
effective in March 2007 and unless alternative regulation is passed by the local
municipality, the Cook County regulations would apply to the Village of Mount Prospect.
In order to solicit input from possibly impacted residents, an email address has been set
up for residents and any interested parties to contribute their thoughts directly to the
Village for compilation and sharing with the Village Board as they consider this topic.
David Rowe, 414 North Pine, spoke. He suggested the Village Board look at the
Ordinance that was approved by Calabasas, California. He stated this Ordinance is
significantly more restrictive and also regulates smoking around the front entrance to
buildings. He stated he is concerned if the Cook County Ordinance is allowed to
become effective, the revenue for violation would not stay locally controlled. He also
recommended the Village Board consider banning smoking on sidewalks, playgrounds
or other public areas and within a 20' clear zone to the entrance of any building.
1
Ted Pappas, 1904 South Elmhurst Road, the owner of Papp's Bar and Grill, spoke. He
stated he is concerned that a Smoking Regulations Ordinance would impact his
customers. He stated approximately 80% of his customers smoke and they feel that
smoking in his restaurant is one of the last havens available to them. He stated that
most smokers feel it is their right to smoke in bars if they are so inclined. He feels that
any regulations would hurt his business and the ban, if approved, would create a
situation where the Village would be at an unfair disadvantage to neighboring
communities which may have no regulation on smoking.
Jim Early, Corporate Manager, for Lettuce Entertainment Company, spoke. He stated
he has been involved with the Restaurant Association in drafting the Cook County
Ordinance and had anticipated that a model Ordinance would be drafted by the
Northwest Municipal Conference for consideration on a region-wide basis. He stated
that he understands that Elk Grove residents are coming to businesses in Mount
Prospect just to smoke because of the regulations in Elk Grove. He feels it would make
the most sense if, in fact, a level playing field was created that applied across all
communities in the area.
Vic Giovanni, 303 East Kensington, owner of the Loft Restaurant, spoke. He stated that
he undertook an unscientific survey of the patrons in the bar area to see why they are in
the bar area and they all stated they were present in the bar area in order to smoke. He
stated with the reconfiguration of the restaurant, they did separate the restaurant from
the bar area and felt that such a separation would be viable for most restaurants in the
community and should be considered as part of the relief available to comply with the
Ordinance.
Tim Borden, of Ala Carte Entertainment, spoke. He suggested that the Board also
consider including a recommended clean-air device as part of the Ordinance to reduce
the exposure to second-hand smoke which would be very similar to the City of Chicago
Ordinance.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
It was suggested that there be some additional discussion with all interested parties in
additional to setting up regulations to limit the exposure of second-hand smoke to any
patrons. There was also a question regarding the ability to gather input from impacted
businesses. There was also a general desire to create a level playing field across all
communities.
Village Manager Janonis stated that staff would provide notice of future meetings on this
topic to interested parties.
V. VILLAGE HALL FRONT ENTRANCE ENHANCEMENT DISCUSSION
Assistant Village Manager Strahl provide a general overview of the options that have
been presented and prepared by DLK. He stated that the options based on the intensity
of constructability, therefore, impacting the overall cost of the enhancement. He stated
that the schemes that are presented are the result of previous discussions with Board
representatives and staff in an effort to draw further attention to the front entrance off
Emerson Street and a general desire to expand the public area of the lobby.
2
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
There was general agreement that Schemes 0 and E be removed from further
consideration and focus be directed toward the other options. There was a general
preference for double doors facing east and south and a desire to remove the existing
doors going into the stairwell from the outside; therefore, to enhance a central lobby area
underneath the portico. It was also recommended that if any enhancements were
undertaken with the front entrance that the suggested enhancements to the main
stairwell also be undertaken at that time. There was a concern regarding undertaking
the enhancements to the point where they would appear as if they were only halfway
completed and it must be done with an appearance that there is a permanent end
product about the design. There was also general acceptance that if enhancements
were to be undertaken, that the flags should be attached to the building with a Village
seal on the glass as rendered.
General support existed for further consideration of schemes A through C. Mayor Wilks
stated she feels that no additional enhancements are necessary and feels that the
design and functionality is well represented of the community. She stated she would
support the main stairwell enhancements and would suggest the Village Board wait for
further input from the two absent Trustees before a final decision is made.
Village Manager Janonis suggested this item could be brought back for the June 13
Committee of the Whole meeting and further follow up from staff regarding possible
discussion dates and cost options.
VI. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Village Manager Janonis stated that next Coffee with Council date is scheduled for
May 13 from 9:00 a.m. until 11 :00 a.m., at the Community Center of Village Hall.
VII. ANY OTHER BUSINESS
Village Manager Janonis provided an overview of the numerous downtown activities that
are now starting up with the improvement in the weather. which had been reused.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9: 15 p.m.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 8,2006
SUBJECT: MAPLE STREET TOWNHOMES PARKING REQUEST
Ramesh Ganhdi, president of the Mount Prospect Town Home Association, has requested
the Village consider establishing a pro-rated system for Maple Street Lot parking tags so
the residents and related parties of his townhome association could purchase parking
privileges for only the months necessary. Residents may only park in the Maple Street Lot
between April to November. Mr. Ganhdi has requested the option to purchase parking tags
for less than the normal period of consecutive months. For example, if a student were
home from school for the summer they could purchase a parking tag for only the months
they would be home compared to the cost of the tag for the entire period when they only
need a few months. The current cost is $120 per annual period. Mr. Gandhi is requesting
the Village Board consider a rate of $15 per month.
The agreement between the Village and Association does not contemplate a pro-rated
system and in order to accommodate this request the agreement would have to be
renegotiated. If the agreement were to be opened to allow for this pro-rated option staff
would suggest that the fee for the parking privilege be adjusted to more accurately reflect
the recent increase in cost now charged in the commuter lot. There is no formula stipulating
how the rate was determined, but it does compute to about 50% of the commuter cost.
Therefore, the annual cost per period to more closely match the commuter rate would be
approximately $180. The Village commuter lot cost is still under the market price of $2 per
day charged at Busse Car Wash.
Staff would request the Village Board consider Mr. Ganhdi's request in order to respond to
him with the Village's position on this matter.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Village of Mount Prospect
Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2005
SUBJECT: MAPLE STREET TOWNHOMES PARKING - FOLLOW-UP
This memorandum is a follow-up to the previous correspondence of September 14
. (attached).. Resident Ramesh Ganhdi, president of the association, has requested the
Village c.onsider offering parking tags/passes to association residents on a pro-rated basis
whereby depending on when the resident purchased the tag theywould pay a tower rate for
the period of time requested for parking. For example, if a resident or immediate family
member wanted to have parking privileges through the summer and purchased a parking
tag in June for the remaining portion oftheparking year (until November 30) the rate would
be based on $15 per month or $90 from June through November. Currently the agreement
does nothave provisions allowing for pro-rated parking rates so regardless when someone
purchases a tag they must pay the entire $120 annual rate. Mr. Ganhdi has polled the
residents and stated that approximately 5-6 resident$ would be interested in the pro-rated
option. According to Finance Department records, there are only 2 residents who
purchased tags for 2005, which is thesarhe number as 2004.
At this time residents who wish to purchase parking t~gs must provide confirmation .of
.residen~yin the association; however, if the program were conve.rted to a pro-rated system
it is possible that there wOuld need to be some additibnalcriteria to ensure tags were made
available based on legitimate requests~ Based on the requirement of purchasing.~ tag}or
the cost of the entire year currently provides some self-regulation. ..
There should also be some type of discussion regarding the current annual rate for the
tags. At this time the $15 per month breaks down to approximptely.$.50 per day. . The
commuter parking rates increased in 2005 to $1.50 from $1 per day, so it woqld be
conceivab.le that the rate could be increased to maintain the 50%discount level. However,
there is nothing in the agreement that requires the rate to be calculated on 50% of the daily
rate. Furthermore, there is parking available at Busse Car Wash for $2 per day and users
may purchase monthly parking privileges and space still exists for additional vehicles.
MAPLE STREET TOWNHOMES PARKING - FOLLOW-UP
DECEMBER 15. 2005 ..
Page 2
Recommendation:
The option of offering pro-rated parking tags is a policy decision by the Village Board. Staff
is neutral since the current usage level is quite low. However, it would be worthwhile to
consider some criteria defining eligible purchasers if a pro-rated system is undertaken.
Furthermore, if the pro-ration option is to be discussed such a discussion could also be an
opportunity to consider raising the annual rate to more closely reflect the recent daily
parking rate increase.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E.JANONIS
FROM:
ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE:
SEPTEMBER 14, 2005
Issue:
Backllround: '.. . . .1
A resolution has been in place since May 1992 allowing Maple Street Townhome residents J-,
accessto up to 28 parking spaces in the southwest corner of the Maple Street commuter \.~ v
lot. The vehicles may only be parked in the lot between the hours of7 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. &,\01.-/'"
from April 1 through November 30.The residents must purchase a parking pass by March
31 annually. The parking pass is valued at $120. The fee amounts to approximately $.50
per day for parkingduring the 8 m9nths.
The Village Board increased the commuter parking fees this year from$1to$1.50, which
repre~ented the first rate increase in over 15 years~ Based on the previous commuter fee
the Maple Street residents were paying approximately one-half of the regular commuter
rates~ There were no cost escalators in the resolution nor were there any criteria to base
the annual cost. If a decision to increase the cosito remain consistent with the previous
50% level of the commuter rate the annual cost would need to increase to $180 which
represents $.75 per day. Also, if any change were to be considered in the re~olotion the
change would have to be initiated by October 30., 2005. The agreement automatically
renews annually unless a change requestis initiated at least 30 days prior to November 30.
The Village.staff could administratively accommodate the purchase of a parking pass ona
monthly basis through the use ofa hang tag with the expiration date clearly marked, similar .
to the handicap hang tags with the written expiration date. However, with the additional
hang tags and administrative effort it is recommended that the monthly fee be established
MAPLE STREETTOWNHOMES PARKING
SEPTEMBER 14, 2005
Page 2
that is higher than the typical monthly breakdown of the annual fee. For example, if the
annual fee were increased to $180 it b~eaks down to $22.50 monthly. However, in order to
provide an incentive to purchase an annual hang tag the monthly fee could be increased to
$25 per month. Busse Car Wash currently rehts spaces for overnight and daytime parking
without a winter parking prohibition for $2 per day or $35 per month. The Village rates are
substantially less than the Busse rates and there is adequate parking in the Busse lot for
vehicles that need less than the full 8 month parking privileges in the Maple Street lot.
Finally, the number of Maple Street residents purchasing parking passes has been very
low, in 2002 the number was 2: 2003: 6; 2004: 2; 2005: 2.
Recommendation:
Some consideration should be made..to .increase the annual cost to k.eep track with the.
current commuter parking rates. Also, since there is such low usage and the availability of
parking at the Busse Car Wash lot it does not appear to be a prudent use of staff time and
resources to create an additional option for month to month parking privileges.
Please advise if you have any questions or comments.

Re: Maple & Lincoln Street Commuter Lot
- Some of our residents purchase parking tags from the city_ so that we can park in
your commuter lot from April 1 - November 31st. The cost of the parking tag
was $115.
Last year one of our town homeowner's children came home from college in July
and wanted to purchase a parking tag from July-November. They asked for a pro-
rated amount since we did not park in the lot for the first 3 months. They were
told by the city hall that they had to pay the full price. No discounts were offered.
We only have 28 families that live on the corner of Maple & Lincoln Streets. The
majority of the owners are single parents-and senior-citizens. Our town home was
built during atime when most families only had one car. Now with parents and
teenage children working many of us have 2 or more cars. We have to rent
parking spaces from either the City oiMt. Prospect or Busse Car Wash.
We are asking-that in the future ifsomeone needs to_buy-,a parkingtagJater in the
year, they should pay at arate of$15 permonth until the end of the parking
Season in November.
Thank your for your time and consideration.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: PROJECT ENGINEER CHUCK L1NDELOF
DATE: JUNE 9,2006
SUBJECT: PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CODE MODIFICATIONS
FEE IN LIEU OF STORMWATER DETENTION
Current Code Requirements
Most of the Village of Mount Prospect was developed prior to 1970, so most of the infrastructure,
including the Village storm sewer system was installed more than 30 years ago. Consequently,
most of the Village storm sewers were installed before the current storm sewer design standards
were developed, and before stormwater detention regulations were enacted. Furthermore, much of
the drainage of the central portions of the Village is carried by sewers combining stormwater and
sanitary sewage.
The current Village Codes were designed to both provide adequate drainage for any site to be
developed, and to protect the neighboring properties by controlling the stormwater runoff entering
the Village storm and combined sewer systems. This is accomplished primarily by requiring
stormwater detention to be provided on site, as required by Sections 15.401 and 15.501 of the
Village Code. (See attached.) The types of projects requiring stormwater detention are summarized
below:
- All commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family developments
- Additions greater than 25% of the existing building footprint or parking lot expansions greater
than 50% of the existing lot to any commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family
development
- Single family developments involving two (2) or more new units
Current Code Implementation
For projects requiring stormwater detention, the stormwater runoff is intercepted at various points
around the site, and directed to a storage area. These storage areas then detain the water, and
release it at a slow, controlled rate through a "restrictor". By controlling the discharge from a site in
this way, the impact to the receiving system is reduced. The Village Code sets the maximum rate of
discharge for a given site, and thereby drives the design of the restrictor. The difference between
the rate of discharge through the restrictor and the actual amount of stormwater runoff must be
stored on site. For larger sites, stormwater is stored in detention ponds, while stormwater is often
stored in underground chambers, oversized sewers, and/or on the parking lot on smaller sites.
In recent months, the Village has seen a dramatic rise in the number of small subdivisions; single
family homes are being torn down, the lots subdivided, and two homes are then built. The Code
does not give credit for redevelopment so any site to be developed or redeveloped is required to

Fee in Lieu of Stormwater Detention

meet all Village Ordinances. As a result, these small subdivisions and redevelopment sites are
required to provide stormwater detention. (See the attached summary for projects recently
constructed or approved for construction.)
Practical Limits to the Current Code
Small sites, especially small residential subdivisions, present unique challenges and limitations to
providing stormwater detention.
Section 16.603.C.1.b of the Village Code requires that the restrictor controlling the discharge rate
from a detention pond be no smaller than 2" in diameter. This size is recommended as the smallest
permitted restrictor in the Northeast Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) model ordinance because
smaller restrictors would likely be prone to becoming blocked with debris, and create maintenance
problems. Depending upon the details of the outlet design, a 2" diameter restrictor will typically
discharge between 0.17 and 0.28 cubic foot per second (cfs). However, Section 16.602.B.1.b of the
Village Code requires that the maximum discharge for a site be limited to 0.2 cfs per acre developed
(0.2 cfs/ac). Thus for a 1 acre site, the maximum allowable discharge is 0.2 cfs. Sites smaller than
1 acre would naturally require discharge rates smaller that 0.2 cfs, but these smaller discharge rates
cannot be attained because the smallest restrictor permitted will still discharge approximately 0.2
cfs. Consequently, we can calculate smaller discharge rates, and associated detention volumes, but
the minimum restrictor size of 2" effectively limits the performance of the detention system.
Because of homeowners' tendencies to construct garages, sheds, additions, raised gardens, etc. in
large open grassy areas, Section 16.603.A of the Village Code states that "Stormwater detention
shall not be permitted in the side or rear yards of any single family residential properties".
Stormwater detention on residential properties must therefore be placed underground. To insure
that these underground storage chambers remain, and are maintained, an easement is often
required. These chambers and easements restrict the use of the property prohibiting the
construction of any permanent structures over the stormwater detention facilities. Furthermore,
because the detention chambers serve both lots of a subdivision, it is common to install storm sewer
along the common property line. These chambers are typically large, with little cover, so they are
installed along a property line, it may not be possible to install a fence along that line.
It is understood that any individual small site will have insignificant impact on the receiving drainage
system. However, the Code was designed to best protect the current and future property owners.
Small sites provide small volumes of storage, and therefore small benefit to the system, but as more
small sites provide detention storage, the cumulative effect on the system may become significant.
Fee in Lieu
Rather than have stormwater detention provided on small sites, NIPC included in their model
ordinance a mechanism for paying a fee in lieu of detention. This would allow an applicant to avoid
the requirement to provide stormwater detention on site by paying a fee to the Village. The Village
would then use this fee to benefit the Village's drainage system.
Proposed Code Changes
We propose that the Village Code be modified to allow a fee to be paid in lieu of providing
stormwater detention for all projects less than 1 acre at the option of the Village Engineer. The 1
acre threshold is consistent with the practical design limits of a 2" restrictor. Having the fee be at the
Page 3
Proposed Development Code Modifications
Fee in Lieu of Stormwater Detention
June 9, 2006
option of the Village Engineer preserves the flexibility to still require the detention in hydraulically
sensitive areas.
We also propose that the fee be assessed based upon the new impervious surface area. Charging
a fee per square foot (ft2) appears to be the simplest, and most equitable means of assessing the
fee. Some items to consider:
1. Charging the fee based upon square foot ft2 of impervious surfaces would also create the
possibility to assess this fee consistently over all new impervious surfaces, such as single
family homes, detached garages, and building additions.
2. Charging a fee of $2.00 per ft2 of impervious surfaces would be consistent with the costs the
Village is currently paying for earthwork in the detention ponds in the Kensington Business
Center. However, even though this fee is in line with current construction costs, it could be
seen as excessive in some cases. It may be possible to mitigate the fees for the smallest
projects by either of the following:
A. Credit could be given for existing impervious surfaces, so the fee would only be
based on the net increase in impervious surface. This should not apply to
commercial, industrial, or multi-family, and a new decrease in impervious surface
should not necessarily warrant a rebate.
B. A lesser fee rate could be established for residential sites.
Some other municipalities have adopted this fee in lieu of detention into their ordinances, but the
implementation varies greatly. Of the municipalities surveyed, the fee ranges from $1.22 per ft2
(Palatine) to $13.16 per ft2 (Park Ridge). (See attached summary.)
We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Mount Prospect Public Works Department
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM:
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT
DATE:
JUNE 8, 2006
SUBJECT: ADDITIONAL WHEELED CART POLICY OPTIONS
Residents have inquired about the availability of a second wheeled cart for refuse since the first informational flyers
were mailed. The Village's standard response to these inquires has been, "all refuse and recycling must be contained
in the cart and any refuse or recycling outside of the cart will not be collected. If the cart is not meeting your needs
please call us in June to discuss options available to you." The Public Works Department has developed the policy
options described below to address the issue of the availability and use of multiple carts for refuse and recycling
servIce.
The new solid waste program is designed around the concept of a fully automated system and success hinges on
residents using the carts. In a few circumstances the maximum issue of a 95 gallon refuse and a 65 gallon recycling
cart does not offer enough capacity on a weekly basis. To address this situation the Public Works department is
proposing the following options to make available multiple refuse and/or recycling carts
Option 1:
In 2006, the total cost of solid waste collection per household is $211.32 annually. The annual cost for solid waste
services is a combination of several costs that include: $119.76 paid to ARC for collection, $16.08 for the Village's
leaf program, $62.28 tipping fee paid to SW ANCC and a $13.20 Village administrative and billing fees. Due to the
unlimited nature of the new solid waste contract with ARC Disposal if additional refuse carts are offered the only
additional cost the Village will incur is the $62.28 (fee is based on one 95 gallon cart) tipping fee paid to SW ANCC.
Therefore the Public Works department is proposing an annual cart fee of $60 per additional refuse cart ,regardless of
size (refuse carts are available in 35, 65 or 95 gallon capacity), to offset the additional tipping cost.
Option 2:
The second option the Public Works department is proposing is to charge residents a one time rental fee for each
refuse cart with pricing based on the purchase price of the cart. In 2006 the cost of a 35, 65, and 95 gallon cart is $42,
$52, and $57 respectively. The resident would pay this one time rental fee to the Village, which would allow the
resident unlimited use of the cart until the resident decides to discontinue service or moves away from the Village.
Upon discontinuation of service the cart remains the Village's property and must be returned to the Village.
Option 3:
For recycling the Public Works department is proposing to charge residents a one time rental fee for each recycling
cart with pricing based on the purchase price of the cart. In 2006 the cost of a 35 and 65 gallon cart is $42 and $52
respectively. The resident would pay this one time rental fee to the Village, which would allow the resident unlimited
..
use of the cart until the resident decides to discontinue service or move from the Village. Upon discontinuation of
service the cart remains the Village's property and must be returned to the Village.
In the case of all three options residents will be allowed to pay for an additional refuse and/or recycling cart at the
Public Works facility. Public Works will coordinate the distribution of the additional carts with ARC Disposal.
The goal of the Village's new wheeled cart program is to achieve efficiency in collection through a fully
automated system and to maximize recycling efforts, not to provide residents with as many refuse carts as they
want. By charging the additional fee for refuse residents are forced to examine their habits and make a
determination if the second cart is really needed. In addition the fee compels residents to determine if their
recycling cart is being fully utilized. If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

Development Update
Mr. Cooney provided a general overview of developments throughout the Village. He stated that Opus had
submitted plans for their two industrial buildings on Algonquin and Linneman Roads and are hoping begin
construction by mid-May. He stated that Alexian Brothers had purchased the Twin Links batting cage and
miniature golffacility and were planning a 40,000 square foot medical facility on that site. Norwood Builders

of 2006. The Commission asked Mr. Cooney how successful the retail consultant had been to date. Mr.
Cooney provided a general update of Ms. Maloney activities. The Commission asked that Ms. Maloney appear
at their June meeting to provide a general update on her activities.
T .I.F. Amendment 3
Mr. Cooney stated that the Village was still waiting on the resolution on some property tax matters prior to
completing the T.I.F. amendment process. He stated that the ordinances had been introduced by the Village
Board and were being deferred until final action had been taken on the tax matter. He stated that Dr. Oztekin
is moving forward with his restaurant/entertainment district for the small triangle area and he has acquired
several properties in the area. Staff is currently reviewing parking options, including underground parking in
this area.
CornEd Business Retention Program
Mr. Cooney stated that several members made visits to retail operators in March. It appeared the 8 :00 starting
time was not as conducive for retailers as the group had originally anticipated. He stated that for the May visits
the group would go back to the 9:00, 10:00 and 11 :00 visits to better address the schedules of the retailers. He
stated that he would attempt to schedule these appointments so the groups could make visits in one shopping
center to minimize drive-time between visits.
