4.1 1st reading of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY
SHOULD THE NEED ARISE AND AUTHORIZING PURCHASE CONTRACTS AS NECESSARY TO RESOLVE A STATE OF
EMERGENCY WITHOUT PUBLIC ADVERTISEMENT WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
Mayor Juracek stated the Village enacted a state of emergency following the Governor's similar declaration. Mayor
Juracek requested Village attorney Lance Malina explain the rationale for tonight's action.
Mr. Malina stated there are two separate reasons:
1) the Mayoral declaration was tied to the Governor's original order; the extension of the Governor's initial order ha
been challenged. The language in the Governor's order is different from the language in the Municipal Code which
does not specify limitations on re -issuing the order.
2) Vague and confusing language in the Municipal Code regarding the action and authority of the mayor during the
declaration of emergency and Board action. I
Board Comments
• The to of Emergency provides effective oversight and assurance to residents that the Board is actively
monitoring the situation
• A system of check and balances regulates how long this needs to continue
• Declaring a state of emergency is important when the Village seeks reimbursement of FEMA funds
By declaring a state of emergency every two weeks,, it significantly reduces or eliminates supply disruption on
PPEs (personal protective equipment) for emergency responders.
• This process is new territory for everyone; doing our best tonavigate these unchartered waters; committed to
remaining transparent and ethical
• Not convinced this declaration is necessary; the entire Board should be involved in every decision during an
emergency declaration
Mr. Malina provided the following in response to questions from the Board
• The Village Manager has spending authority up to $20,000; during a declaration of a state of emergency, the
Village Manager can exceed that amount with mayoral approval. Village Manager Michael Cassady noted this
has not yet been necessary to do so
• This emergency declaration will expire upon the adjournment of the next Village Board meeting (May 19, 2020)
• It is the responsibility of the Mayor to declare an emergency, requiring approval by the Board
Motion by William Grossi, second by Michael Zadel to waive the rule requiring two readings of an ordinance.

Village Manager Michael Cassady provided supplemental information regarding the State of Emergency declaration
and the effects of Governor Pritzer's continuation of the state's stay-at-home order. Mr. Cassady stated the Village's
current financial position will be discussed at next week's Committee of the Whole meeting. The discussion will
include ways in which the Village can defer planned projects. Mr. Cassady provided an update on summer event
cancellations including the Downtown Block Party, Memorial Day parade, Fourth of July parade and festival, and the
Celebration of Cultures. Fridays on the Green summer concerts have been cancelled
through July. Mr. Cassady stated the Farmer's Market will continue this season but with a modified format. The
Farmers Market will open June 7.
Fred Steinmiller, member of the Mount Prospect Lions Club, was present via teleconference and provided additional
information. Mr. Steinmiller stated the market will open on June 7th and will follow the Illinois Farmers Market
guidelines. The market will feature a reduction in the number of vendors, face -covering requirements for both
vendors and attendees and a restriction on dog/pet admittance. Mr. Steinmiller added that he has visited several
farmer's markets in the area that have already opened to observe procedures that are being followed to ensure social
distancing. Director of Building and Inspections Bill Schroeder stated his team of inspectors will work with the Lions
Club for additional best practice guidelines.

Director of Public Works Sean Dorsey stated that when the Board approved a guaranteed maximum price contract to

but were requested by the Board. The amenities included interior painting, parking space indicator signs,, closed-
circuit television monitoringtwo illuminated street name signs, two (2) blade signs and electric vehicle charging
stations. Mr. Dorsey provided additional details on the proposed added amenes that will complete the parking
deck. Mr. Dorsey stated the cost of these amenities is $335,,000. Mr. Dorsey stated •funds are available;
$90,500 will come from the Prospect and Main TIF and $245,000 from the Capital Improvements Fund. (This
statement was corrected later in the meeting to reflect accurate reporting of fund sources; $245,00 will come from
the Prospect and Main TIF and $90,500 will come from the Capital Improvement Fund)
Mr. Dgrsey provided the following in response to questions from the Board:
These additions to the project, as requested by the Board, were not part of the original plan due to the lack of
accurate pricing and the absence of viable information. The option to bring these items forward for
consideration at a later time was part of the initial development plans.
Mr. Dorsey corrected his earlier statement, stating $245,000 will be drawn from TIF funds and $90,500 will
come from the Capital Improvement Fund; we are using as much TIF funds as allowed.
• Nicholas & Associations will collect bids on the Village's behalf; Nicholas will work with contractors to ensure
project installation and completion.

the 2020 Pedestrian Signal Improvements for a cost not to exceed $77,900.
Mr. Dorsey provided background information, bid results and staff recommendation.
Mr. Dorsey stated staff has led two (2) public bids for this project. No bids were received at the first bid opening
held in February. Project specifications for the bid were modified to encourage contractors to submit proposals. A
second bid opening was held in February that yielded only one bid. Staff determined was too high to recommend
award of a construction contract.
Assistant Village Engineer Matt Lawrie contacted the contractors and determined full schedules and the complexity of
coordinating sub -contractors for a relatively small project were the main reasons this project was undesirable. Mr.
Lawrie was able to negotiate a separate project just for the electrical work. Staff received two bids for the revised
project. The lowest cost bid was submitted by Meade Electric Company. Meade Company is well-positioned to
perform this work and has completed similar projects for the Village satisfactorily. The Village is considering options
to complete the remainder of the project.
