Pollce ChIef Ron Pavlock stated that the discussion and revised Ordinance before
the Village Board this evening is the result of citizen inquiries concerning door-to-
door solicitation after dark. He stated a recent Northwest Municipal Conference
survey showed, a wide variation of times which communities allow for solicitation.
He stated the Village had originally approved an Ordinance that terminates
solicitation at sunset, however, when the cable system was under construction
w *thin the I Village, the cable company at that t' I I ime requested the Village rescind *ts
night-time prohibition in order to allow the subscriber base to be built up through
door-to-door solicitation.
He stated that his research has shown that a definition of sunsetis quite varied ant
the time of sunset varies widely throughout the year in this area which could caUSE
confusion at the time of enforcement. Therefore, he is recommending thE
Ordinance include language which requires solicitation to terminate at 6:00p.m.
during the winter which 7would be classified as Central'Standard Time from the lasl
Sund ay in October to the first Sunday in April. He stated that the time for door-to-
door solicitation to be terminated during the summer be classified as Centra
Daylight Savings Time from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in Octobel
to be 8:00 p.m. He stated that there were 59 individuals who had registered witt
the Police Department for solicitation purposes. He stated that, unfortunately, thE
Village could not require.all zolicitorsIto be Tegistered.
Sue Dombrowski, 914 Sumac, stated that she is satisfied with the hours a,
defined in the Ordinance and felt that the later solicitation hours during the summe
could accommodate numerous non-profit solicitations which are relatively commo
during that period of time.
General I comments from the Vill,age Board members included the following items:
0 a 1 0 lied, to elected
There was a question" regarding whether -these reguiations aDD
officials and the circulation of petitions. Activity related to the election process is
specifically exempted from this prohibition. Trustees also suggested aIIC0DV of the
Ordinance be forwarded to Northwest Central Dispatch so that they might be aware
of the solicitation regulations in,the event that citizens call, to complain. Trustees
were a,,Iso supportive of having solicitors registe,r.with the Village but acknowledged
the fact that such registration could not be enforced.
Consensus of the Village Board was to support the Ordinance as drafted
which includes the termination of solicitation at 6:00 p.m. during the winter
and at 8:00 pm, during the summer as defined by Central Standard Time and
Daylight Savings Time, respectively.
Village Manager Janonis stated that Trustee Lohrst&fer had requested a separate
license for tobacco sales at a previous meeting and research has revealed that such
an Ordinance has already been on the books since 1957. He also stated the
Ordinance Is being enforced as we speak and there have been a couple of license
revocation hearings within the last couple of years. He stated the review that was
prompted by the research as requested by Trustee Lohrstorfer has revealed the
need to clean up the Ordinance and make it coincide with current State and Federal
regulations.
N
Among the items changed is the prohibition that any person within the Village of
Mount Prospect under the age of 18 is prohibited from possessing tobacco
products, not just a resident of Mount Prospect, as previously stated in the
Ord.inance. He stated that vending machines must be under the direct control of the
business owners and the fine has been increased with this Ordinance revision.
General comments from Village Board members included the following items:
Trustees were generally supportive of the changes and suggested the Ordinance
be forwarded to the Youth Commission for input and review in an effort to get the
word out to the youth within the community.
Chief Pavlock stated that the majority of the violators which the Police deal with
tend to be 15-16 year olds and the consensus of the Police personnel is that
tobacco is a gateway drug to other types of drugs. He stated that for proper
enforcement, there is a need to have a parent accept the ticket on behalf of the
minor and last year, there were approximately 30 arrests related to the enforcement
of this Ordinance'l,
Consensus of the Village Board was to proceed with the draft Ordinance by
sending it to the full Village Board for consideration at an upcoming meeting.
It was alls64etermined that the Ordinance would be forwarded to the Youth
Commission for their information and input,
a
A Motion was made by Trustee Wilks and Seconded by Trustee Hoefert to move
into Closed Session to discuss Property Acquisition and Litigation.

TO: VILLAGE MANAGER, MICHAEL E., JANONIS
FROM: WATER/SEWER SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: JANUARY 20, 1998
IN
SUBJECT: AUTOMATED METER READ ING UPDATE
FINAL RE CObdMENDAT IONS
Over the last several years the Water/Sewer Division staff has
been exam ' ining the policies and operations of the division' s
Meter Shop, Our goal was to define a long term position which
will carry us into the next century and beyond. Presently our
staffing levels in the Meter Shop are one full time meterperson
and a service call person who spends half their time on meter
related activities. Some of the duties include replacement of old
meters, testing of meters, repair of leaking or stopped meters,
high water bill complaints, and general troubleshooting of our
Automated Meter Reading, AMR, devices. In addition to our public
works employees we also employ the services of an independent
contractor, currently HBK Water Meter Service, which handles the
majority of our meter installations and testing. This mix of out-
sourcing and 'in-house support has up to now been a successful
combination .
The following is a brief history on where we were and what we
presently maintain and operate including AMR experiences. I have
made several recommendations for your consideration. These, I
believe, are based on realistic and achievable goals which are
developed around our current personnel levels and funding
resources,
I
In August of 1991 we placed our f irst AMR device on line. We are
presently using two (2) different styles of AMR. Both of them
manufactured by Badger Meter Incorporated. One technology uses
phone lines to communicate with the Public Works central computer.
This device is known as ACCESSplus. The other AMR system uses
radio frequency, RF, to communicate with a hand-held interrogator
and is known as TRACE. It has been over six (6) years since we
began implementing AMR and we have learned a good deal about AMR
and gathered substantial information on its performance and
applicability through our pilot studies. Some of the reasons
Page 2
Water Meter Policy Recommendations
January 20, 1998
whichprompted us to go With an automated water meter reading
system are inherent in any operation as large as ours.
Accessibility was a key issue, especially with our commercial
customers. Accountability was also important and again even more
s o with our larger commercial customers. Other issues included
the data collection times. Simply collecting the meter readings
for our commercial (non -Single Family Residences, non-SFRs)
customers, which are billed monthly, took weeks. These non -SFR
accounts , unlike our Single Family Residential, (SFR) 'accounts ,
were manually read by Public Works meter readers and recorded by
hand in a meter book. Residential customers have been mailing
their meter readings in every two (2) months for over the last
decade using a "post card" system. The post card system relies on
residents to write their water meter reading down on their water
bill when returning payment, The average response rate,has been
over 95% using this method. This honor system replaced
traditional water meter reading personnel. The commercial
accounts "were still read by Public Works personnel due to the
level of revenues 'involved and the monthly billing cycle.
To give you an 'Idea of what the water meter population consists
of and our customer base I have made a breakdown of all our
service connections and their respective classifications.
Mi _616IM-M
Taken from report data by Finance*
Meters do not have ai
n nfinite operating life and periodically
must be tested, repaired, or replaced. Professional water supply
organizations, such as the American Water Works Association,
AWWA, recommend testing of smaller meters every ten years. This
standard is in line with our current policy and seems to be a
reasonable one. Our intent is to replace ever water meter under
two (2) 'Inches on a ten (10) to fifteen (15) year interval. It is
generally recognized to be more economical and cost effective to
replace meters of this size rather than repair them. Meters 2"
and above, 'although purchased by customers, are maintained and
serviced by the Water/Sewer Division's 'Meter Shop at the owner's
expense. The following table illustrates our testing requirements
based on our current meter population.

Our current funding level facilitates a replacement rate of
approximately 500 meters per year utilizing both in-house and
contractual services. It is clear that with well over 10,000
single family homes in the Village, the rate of replacement is
lagging somewhat behind. At present rates of replacement, it
would take anywhere from twenty 20) to twenty-five (2 5) years to
completely rejuvenate the meter population in single family
residences.
Most of our meters are under twenty years old and are from a
massive change out done in the 19801s. On average we are
replacing meters that are fifteen (15) years old and find that
they are relatively accurate from spot check testing we conduct,
The majority of all our water meters are manufactured by three
(3) different companies. By far and away Badger Meter Inc. has
supplied the bulk of all our residential meters and agood
portion of the commercial water meters. We have up to now
standardized all our residential services with Badger meters.
Their overall performance has been very good. Hersey Meter is a
distant second and are primarily larger'c'ommercial meters and
fire protection meters.• In recent years, (the last four), we have
been using the Metron-Farnier Spectrum meters, This water meter
incorporates a relatively new design and has increased our
ability to capture some of the very low water flows which the
more traditionally designed meters were unable to record, (see
attached memo 2/12/96.) There are only fifteen (15) of these
installed and they have been used exclusively on our larger
accounts, e.g. Randhurst Shopping Center, 3COM, Ramada 'Inn, etc.
We have found these units to be very successful in detecting
lower water flows and hope to utilize this typeof meter more on
our larger consumers.
It is important when developing a,comprehensive water meter"
Policy to'consider the areas where unaccounted for water losses
are the highest. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources
IDNR, the state regulatory body for all Lake Michigan users,
requires an annual cbnsumption report which details all water use
from October 1't of one year to September 3 oth of the next vear.
This twelve month report records all water that has been b�
illed
during that period. The purpose of this report is to account for
the total water diverted from Lake Michigan each year. The report
compares our metered or billed water with our purchased water,
Page 4
Water Meter Policy Reconuneiidations
January 20, 1998
which we receive from the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint
Action Water Agency, NSMJAWA. The difference between these can be
no more than eight percent (8%) unaccounted for flow which
includes the allowable leakage the IDNR defines by the type,
size,,age, and miles, of water main in service.
I have documented the last four (4) years of these reports to
illustrate how our purchased water amounts compare to water
billed. These are raw figures and do not reflect any allowable
losses which occur due to normal pipe leakage. Our allowable
losses, based on current inventory levels, averages six (6%)
percent. The following table demonstrates water billed as
compared to our purchased amounts from NSMJAWA using our present
population of water meters. # NHM1111�,Ow- , ''I'll" 'eiy rate;1

TABIX
As you can see from "table 1" our Single Family Residences, SFRs,
constitute 88% of the service connections. If we compare this
with their water consumption we see that they only bring in 56%
of the water revenues, It is therefore apparent, as seen in
""tablethe 12% of non -SFR water meters bring in over 44%
of the revenues made from water sales. There are approximately
1450 non -SFR water meters and of these a little over 250 are fire
meters. The fire meters represent a fraction of the total water
use, less than a million gallons per year, and in that regard are
marginal at best. In addition, the fire meters are read only once
a year and as such impact very little on our time demands, By
subtracting the fire meters from the equation we see that in
reality only about 1200 water meters, or about 10% of the meter
population, contribute to almost half of our water billed. I
believe this is a crucial point when analyzing water meter policy
and operations. Another very important point is that using our
average of 94% accountable water and adding the <6% allowable
losses leaves us with less than 1% unaccounted for water. This is
an extremely respectable amount.
Lastly, even though most of the SFR meter readings received are
correct, we still need a quality control check to confirm the
overall accuracy of the current post card meter reading system.
To accomplish this we have a summer residential water meter
reading program. The program includes physically inspecting and
actually reading every meter in the entire Village each four (1)

years. The SFR customers are divided into four (4) different
billing cycles loosely based on geographical location. Each
summer seasonal employees are hired to manually read and inspect
water meters from one of these cycles. This insures that at least
once every four (4) years we confirm the accuracy and validity of
the readings we receive from our residents via post cards. We can
see that our results are correct by the rate of recovery seen in
the water purchased vs. the water sold. At 940. we realize an
excellent return on our product distribution. This fact is also
vital to our examination of meter operation and performance.
A UTO MA TE, D AIIE TER READING, AMR
Our experiences with ACCESSplus water meter systems have been
mixed. We have eliminated all but a handful of non -SFR reads,
(less than ten are still read manually each month), from our
meter books. This has certainly freed up our people from time
consuming meter reading. What should also be considered is the
maintenance of the AMR system. There is less time reading, but we
have more time spent maintaining this type of AMR module. These
devices require batteries, the batteries typically have a shelf
life of 5-8 years. Our experience has shown that although the
ACCESSplus frees us from meter reading there is a substantial
delinquency associated with these devices (sometimes as much as
10%.) In addition, the maintenance of these devices is time
consuming and expensive. We have had much more success with the
TRACE units and to date they have required minimum repair or
maintenance. The main reason for problems with the ACCESSplus is
the fact that they are married to another utility. Telephone
interruptions, disconnected phone lines, vacancies, and vandalism
are a few of the more common problems experienced with this
technology.
Price wise these two (2) styles of AMR devices are somewhat
comparable. The ACCESSplus units cost $232.00 installed. Whereas
,the TRACE meters are installed for $193.00.. If we contrast these
costs with the cost of installing a manual local read water
meter, at $69.00 per meter, we see a substantial difference. All
of these prices are based on contracting out the installation
work and using the standard 5/8 inch residential size meter as an
example. It is clear that the use of AMR meter devices
dramatically increases the cost vis-a-vis a locally read water
meter,
RECOMMENDATIONS
In light of the aforementioned information and the history we
have had with the post card system, it is my opinion we should
consider a modified approach to meter reading utilizing both post
cards and AMR. The non -SFR meters have all but been eliminated

DATE: February 12, 1996
SUBJECT: Randhurst Mall "dater Usage
Over the past two years we have been experimenting with a new
type of water meter (Metron) that is designed to record low
flows on large water services. Most of our water services 3"
and above are equipped with a standard compound water meter.
This meter is designed to deliver large flows when the demand is
required. On the ether hand, during low flaw periods the accura-
cy is not the best. In contrast this new Metron meter has the
ability to deliver the high flows as well as give a more accu-
rate accounting of low flows.
Attached is a consumption and billing comparison for Randhurst
Mall which has a 6" water service. Prier to 1995 Randhurst's
water service was equipped with a standard 6" compound meter.
Even though over the past couple of years there has been a lot
of remodeling and move -ins and move --guts within the Randhurst
Mall, I believe: the new Metron meter is the main reason for the
30% increase in water accountability, as compared to 1994 us-
age. Attached is a consumption and billing comparison for
Randhurst. 1993 and 1994 are water usages as measured by the 6"
compound meter. 1995 is measured by the new Metron meter.
The price of the Metron
$4107.00 for a standard
Metron meters installed

other services where we

meter was $2,985.00 as compared to
6" compound meter. We currently have 7

Timothy Corcoran and Village Manager Michael Janonis. Vitlage residents in attendance
were:
Frank Smith, 903 Quince Lane
-arry L. Gillreath, 1880 West Palm Drive
Frank Smith, 903 Quince, indicated that he lives in an area of town where water and
sanitary sewer services are provided by Citizens' Utilities Company as opposed to the
Village of Mount Prospect. Mr. Smith wanted to know whether Citizens' Utilities Company
notifies the Fire Department, on a regular basis, when water service is shut off, either by
main breaks or planned system maintenance. He felt thi's was important information for
the Fire Department to have when responding to fire emergencies. Mr. Janonis indicated
that he did not know what the reporting protocol was, but would find out from the Fire
Department and report back to Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith also inquired about the status of the Wisconsin Central/North Central commuter
line and future plans to add a second track to the system. Mr. Janonis indicated that there
had been no public hearings or otherinformation distributed lately. Mr. Smith indicated that
if a second track goes in, he felt that it should go on the west side of the existing track, as
far away from the existing family homes as possible. Mr. Smith also noted that he had
received a response from Congressman Porter's office to his recent letter opposing the
expansion. He indicated that Congressman Porter was supportive of the proje......

Mrs. Diane Peterson, 202 Fairview Avenue. Mrs. Peterson commented that she had seen press coverage
of the "Great World" plan for redevelopment of the downtown area. She asked 'if the Board was gi*vm*g this
concept serious consideration. She also asked if the Board was considering other options for downtown
redevelopment. Trustee Wilks explained that the "Great World" plan was an unsolicited concept
ot commbrought
forward by a private citizen. The Village did nission the plan. Trustee Wilks, along with Trustees
Hoefert and Nocchi, expressed personal reservations about the constructability and economic viability of
the "Great World" plan. Trustee Wilks also explained that staff had recently circulated a Request for
Prosposals (RFP) to qualified redevelopment consultants and designers. The purpose of this RFP is to
solicit alternative downtown redevelopment plans for the Plan Commt*ssion and Board to consider. Trustee
Nocchi explained the RFP process and cautioned that it 'is unlikely any one plan will be developed to
fruition. In reality, 'it 'is probable that only part, or parts, of an approved plan will be built. Trustee
Hoefert emphasized that the value of an overall plan is to let developers and builders know what the people
of Mount Prospect would like to see happen 'in their downtown.
Mr. Michael Zielinsld, 934 Tower Dn"ve. Mr. Zielinski stated that he is attending to listen to the
discussion regarding downtown redevelopment.
Mr. Jerry Peterson, 202 Fm*rvl'ew Avenue. Mr. Peterson expressed concern about the econonlic impact
that the "Great World" plan would have on existing businesses such as Randhurst Shopping Center. He
and Mrs. Peterson also mentioned that they do not like the idea of more condominiums, apartment
buildings, or other high rise structures in the downtown area. Trustee Hoefert stated that he shares Mr.
Peterson's concerns about the effects that downtown redevelopment will have on existing businesses. He
also suggested that the vacancy problem in a large retail structure, such as the MIde-long building
envisioned in "Great World", could be a magnification of the "Big Box" retail center vacancy problem.
Trustee Hoefert concluded his comments by noting that he shares the Petersons' disdain for high rise
