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. https://go.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 3/6 6/11/2020 BoardDocs® Pro 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.

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. https://go.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login# 5/6 6/11/2020 BoardDocs® Pro Revenue estimates are based on the three existing occupied pads; if the fourth pad is another restaurant, amount could be paid off in a shorter time frame.
