COMMUNICATIONS AND PETITIONS - CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
Ms. Joyce Ackerman, Dempster Street
Ms. Ackerman commented on the activities at Windsor Court Apartments. She
stated the same individuals repeatedly violate curfew, and are the source of the
other disruptive activities. Ms. Ackerman would like the Police Department to take
action.
Mayor Wilks stated the police have and will continue to respond to her calls
regarding disruptive activities, but in cases such as curfew violations, the police
are allowed to use discretion. Mayor Wilks noted Windsor Court Apartments are
private property, and it is the responsibility of the property owners to enforce
property regulations for the safety and well-being of the tenants.
Village Manager Michael Janonis stated he was in attendance at a recent meeting
with the Windsor Court Apartments ,Association and the Mount Prospect Police
Department. The discussion included the changing demographics in this area.
The increase in the number of families with children adds to the level of activity
and noise. The Association has written regulations and standards that are
provided to tenants and posted on the property. It is the responsibility of the
Association to enforce their regulations. However, the Village does work with
and encourages property owners to establish and enforce regulations that
promote a safe environment for tenants.
Mr. George Clowes, 604 South Elm Street
Mr. Clowes commented on the success of this year's Downtown Block Party. He
added that the Village's plan to develop a park at the northeast corner of Emerson
Street and Busse Avenue would enhance this area. However, Mr. Clowes
expressed concern that the Village is considering having the drive for the
Founders Row development access Busse Avenue rather than Emerson Street.
Community Development William Cooney responded there had been no final
decision regarding street access for Founders Row. He added there would be
additional discussions and considerations before a final decision was made.
In reference to a recent article in the Chicago Tribune regarding the practice of
the Elgin Police Department to not report traffic arrests, including DUls, of illegal
immigrants to the Department of Immigration, Mr. Clowes asked if the Village of
Mount Prospect followed a similar practice.
Village Manager Michael Janonis stated the Mount Prospect Police Department
does work with the Immigration Department in reporting felony arrests. Mr.
Janonis stated he would follow-up with Police Chief Eddington and provide Mr.
Clowes with additional information.

FEASIBILITY STUDY consulting services to conduct a feasibility study of TIF #2.
TIF DISTRICT #1
/-
Community Development Director William Cooney presented the request for
professional services to assist with the evaluation of the feasibility for creating a
Tax Increment Finance District in the area of Rand Road and Kensington Road
intersection. Mr. Cooney stated the proper development of the Rand Road
Corridor is a primary concern as it is one of the most important commercial
corridors in the Village.
The consultant will evaluate the area and apply state statutes to determine if the
area would even qualify for TIF redevelopment. Staff recommended acceptance
of the proposal from Laube Companies to conduct the feasibility study in an
amount not to exceed $25,000.
Mr. Janonis added that while the feasibility study will indicate whether TIF
redevelopment is possible in the target area, approval of a TIF district is a long
process that includes public hearings and discussions with property owners.

guaranteed tax dollar amount whether the property is vacant or developed.]
