Ill. MINUTES
Acceptance of the Minutes from November 22, 1994. Motion made by Trustee
Wilks and Seconded by Trustee Corcoran. Minutes approved.
IhL CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
None.
Tnxidee Corcoran provided an overview of his memo from September 27, 1994.
Trustee Corcoran stated the purpose for his memo was to address basic Zoning
standards for new projects and to possibly revise the PUD standards so that
density is not increased to the detriment of Mount Prospect.' Also, he felt the
Village should require a cash contribution from developers and not allow detention
areas to be counted as open space by the developers.
Mayor Farley stated he would like to take each item on Trustee Corcoran's memo
individually so that each member of the Board had full opportunity to make their
thoughts known on each item.
Tnr3fte Corcoran provided an outline showing the typical density of single-family,
attached single-family, multi -family and senior citizen housing. The analysis that
he is referring is based on a land value assumed at 30% of the total cost of the
project.

General discussion of the Board followed in which comments by numerous Board
members were made. Comments included a maintenance of the ratio of the
single-family homes to multi family units that currently exist and not change the
ratio toward more multi -family units. Some members of the Board felt that the
density that currently exists is comparable to other towns in the area. Other
comments included the need to maintain or provide affordable housing to keep
Mount Prospects population static. Also, some Board members expressed
concern that the Board is forced to negotiate down to a desirable density level at
the time of their approval of the project and felt it would make more sense to have
specific density regulations already in place without having to negotiate on a case-
by-case basis.
Consensus of the Wage Board members requested a cost breakdown for housing
based on each level of density.' AJso, the Board requested the Planning
Department to provide an example of a development starting with open land where
the optimum development could be Mustrated. Board members would consider
discussing the density reduction further once the additional Information Is made
available.

Trustee Corcoran introduced the item by stating that PUDs are typically used to
increase density and would like the Village to define the benefits which it would
derive from such a PUD approval in order for approval fot the density increase.
General discussion of Board members included a discussion which centered on
defining a benefit to the Village for the density change and what unique feature of
the development the Village would benefit from. For example, in some PUD
developments, retail is mixed with residential but not in all cases. However, the
density increase is usually approved for PUDs without a specific community
benefit.
Consensus of the Village Board members requested the Planning Department to
recommend some resbictions which might be placed on PUDs In order to define
Nearly the benefits that the Village would receive from Increased denft. Once
this Information Is avalable,, the Village Board would consider this Issue further.

General comments of the Board members included a discussion on whether
developers should be required to provide in-kind cash for community amenities or
be required to maintain existing open space within the proposed development.
However, other Board members felt that requiring impact fees would drive up the
cost of housing.
Resident Steve Polk 601, ire Drive, spoke. He complimented the Board on
discussing the need for open space and he requested the Board to seriously
consider requiring a donation because the Village is deficient in the number of
acres which are designated as parkland. He feels that impact fees could be
pooled by the Park District in order to purchase the necessary land for additional
parks to address the deficiency.
Tmstee Corcoran stated further that he would like to protect RX districts from
rezoning due to their size and uniqueness within the Village.
EMU Cooney provided the Board the basic information on the RX District stating it
is the most restrictive zoning district within Mount Prospect RX requires a double
lot size when compared to an R-1 district.
Consensus of the Village Board was to define RX dMkits-, clearly and focus on
protecting RX district status. The Board wants to protect,RX neighborixods as
much as possible. Board members directed staff to review the various Dishicts
and estimate poteadal development which may affect the status of RX Dbbicts.
IMpactfess
General discussion of the Village Board focused on the fact that impact fees drive
up the cost of the development and members felt the donation if, in fact, it is
required should be Identified directly with the Impact or the benefit the fees are
supposed to provide.
Resident Steve PoRt spoke again. He stated that Section 16.610 of the Municipal
Code requires each dwelling unit to make a donation of $1,450.
Big Cooney stated the charge of $1,450 per unit is defined as a charge for the
maintenance of public facilities.
Cormrmu of the Village Board was to request staff review other ta�
ordinances mlating to Impact fees and report back to the Board with a proposal
specifically ldenOW9 the bene ft an Impact fee would provide.

This was the final item discussed from Trustee Corcoran's memo. General
discussion of Board members was that a change in the slope and a change in the
distance from the unit to the detention area would reduce density. However, the
change in the slope of the detention area would possibly create a hazardous area.
Consensus of the VMage Board was to request the sUff to recommend possible

This Item was deferred due to the length of the disimnslIon regarding mini-farriity
density.
T -.7,.V', Cis C i
Tnndee C s provided the background of this item. He stated that the original
idea was for high school students to do television programming to address issues
for junior high students. The options for programming included high school
students producing programs for junior high students, students using channel F
facilities for production of programs or to utilize the community access
opportunities at TCI Cable. He stated that the original intent of this project has
become more complicated than he first thought due to the amount of time and
effort required to produce such a program. There also arose numerous questions
including how the message was to be gotten out and defining who the audience
was and frequency of the programming.
Trustee Clowes stated that at this time, junior high and high school representatives
will work together to determine what issues they would like to consider for
programming and at this point, no one has decided to proceed with the
programming. some representatives are signed up to do the television training at
TCI in preparation of this project or at least to get some idea of the time and effort
involved in such programming.
At this time, Trustee Clowes is requesting no commitment from, the V11111age of
'Mount Prospect.

Mayor Farley introduced this item by stating that the discussion is to focus on
whether an Ordinance should be put in place which allows citizens to remove
elected officials who do not discharge their duties according to the wishes of the
citizens. He stated that all Trustees and the Mayor would be subject to this
Ordinance at the time it is approved by the Village Board.
Manager Janonis stated that he has provided the Board members with a copy of
a legal opinion drafted by Sheila Beary of Pedersen and Houpt.
General discussion of the Board members followed in which the focus of the
discussion was the percentage of voters' signatures which should be necessary
on a petition in order to prompt a recall vote. The original Ordinance as drafted
stated 45% of the number of votes in the last Mayoral election would be the
number necessary to get the item of recall on the next ballot. The members felt
the percentage should be lowered and there was also some discussion relating to
what the percentage would be based on: (1) whether the number of voters
registered; or (2) the number of votes cast in a Mayoral election.
Sheila Beary of Pedersen and Houpt stated there was a previous law in the Illinois
Revised Statutes which allowed for recall based on the percentage of votes cast
in the last Mayoral election as the appropriate number of signatures to get this
item on the ballot. Therefore, the original draft followed the basic law as it
originally existed. The Courts struck down this law, however, the Court did state
that setting the number of signatures necessary was legitimate.
Consensus of the V111111age Board was that the number of signatures necessary to
put the recall question on the ballot would be 10% of the total number of registered
voters at the last general election. Also, language should be added In which them
Is a moratorium when the petition cannot be circulated. The petition would not be
valid F it Is circulated within one year of the time the individual who Is subject to
the recall petition was originaRy elected or re-elected. Also, the recall petWon
could not be circulated within six months of an upcoming election In which the
,IndMdual subject to the mcaN Is up for election,
Trustee Clowes asked whether this Recall Ordinance applies to Library Trustees
Sheila Beary advised him that it does not.
Consensus of the Village Board was W clarify the language within the Ordinance
as follows: Include language defining why the dens want to recall the indlAdual;
shorten the'dme, to di=late the pebVm from 120 days to 90 days; a out the
Aspecific language on the petition so that the statement coIncides with the
obtement which will be Included on the balot; the language for recall defining why
the recall Is necessary will! be kx*jded In the Ordinance for ckkens to utilize.
ftaly, Me Board directed staff to modWy this Ordinance and to bring It forward for
consideration at the first Village Board meeting In january of 19950

T Corcoran stated he supports some type of defined standards for Board
members' actions while carrying out their duties as an elected official.
Discussion of the Board members focused on the fact that a clear definition of
appropriate standards should be considered before establishing a protocol.
Consensus of the Village Board was to defer this Item and consider It at another

Manager Jannis stated that the snow storm of December 6-7 caused a large
amount of tree damage due to the wet snow and advised the Board that the Public
Works Department has spent approximately $9,500 to dean up damaged and
broken trees.,
Tnistee Wlks wanted to dartry the fact that the Linneman Road Public meeting will
also take place on the Coffee with Council meeting date.
A Motion was made by Tmatee Hoefert and Seconded by T C to

SUBJECT: STUDENT RESOURCE OFFICER
3 -YEAR COST ANALYSIS
DATE: JANUARY f, 1995
The successful implementation of a Student Resource Officer (SRO) Program in
Mount Prospect Middle Schools will be dependent on a number of variables. One of
the most critical considerations is the cost of implementing such a program.
Preliminary discussions with Superintendents from School Districts 26, 57 and 59 have
resulted in a positive interest in seeing if such a program is feasible from both
logistical and economic standpoints. While the positive benefits of the program are
covered in the memorandum from Police Chief Pavlock, the financial details of the
program are presented here.
The financial formula for the program is grounded in the concept that the schools and
Village derive a mutual benefit from the presence of SRO's on a year-round basis. A
cost sharing formula modeled on the successful District 214 High School Counselor
Program is contemplated here. Under the District 214 program, the school district is
responsible for the officer's base salary and the Village is responsible for all other
costs. Such a cost sharing agreement is simple to administer and does not required
detailed record keeping.
A roughly two-thirds (school), one-third (Village) sharing of costs covering salary,
benefits and capital/training expenses approximates the nine-month school year when
the officers would be assigned exclusively to the schools and the 3 month summer
period when the officers would be available for patrol/tactical duties during our peak
months of activity.
Page 2 of 2
January 6, 1995
Besides total costs, the respective shares for the schools and Village are also shown.
The school share would be divided equally among the three (3) districts. The
availability of Crime Bill money substantially reduces the overall costs to both the
school districts and the Village. The impact of the Crime Bill money can be seen
when the totals "with grant" and "less grant" are compared. The cost to the Village
over the three (3) year period is roughly equivalent to one additional officer.
If there is a desire to proceed with an SRO Program, it is recommended that a 3 -year
trial commitment be made. Crime Bill funds could be used to defray a portion of the
costs during this period. At that time an evaluation of the program would be made to
determine if continuation was warranted. If not, the authorized strength of the
Department could be reduced within a year to pre-program levels through attrition.
The cost sharing concept and formula have been informally discussed with school
district staff. No commitments from any parties have been made.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: RONALD W. PAVLOCK, CHIEF OF POLICE CQ�PL
SUBJECT: SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
DATE: JANUARY 5, 1995
Over the past several months the police department, working with your office, has
been discussing the possibility of expanding our current High School Counselor
program into the middle schools in Mount Prospect. This discussion has been met
with great interest by all three school district superintendents that have middle schools
located in Mount Prospect. This discussion was further enhanced by the possibility
of Crime Bill "Cops Ahead" funding for the program as well as some shared funding
from the various school districts. This would make the implementation of this
program not only feasible, but cost effective.
As you are aware, the many organizations that you and I have been involved in over
the past couple of years have constantly discussed the need for direct contact with
youth in the junior high and/or middle school age groups. Successful programs such
as Fighting Back in District 214 and TAP, the Village of Mount Prospect's program,
have defined the problems with our youth today and the related impact of drugs and
alcohol. Past discussions between these two groups and officials from schools, park
districts, social services, law enforcement agencies and other criminal justice agencies
and municipal officials have further identified this age group as being in critical need
of a positive balancing influence from law enforcement to prevent involvement with
gangs and drugs/alcohol abuse. Up to now our Officer Friendly program, that has
been in effect for twenty-two years, and the Prospect High School Counselor program
which has been in effect for over twenty-five years, have attempted to fill the void
and indirectly provide the service needed in our middle school/junior high school
districts. A positive law enforcement presence in this area is critically important
because as members of YouthServe, a School District 21 program, have advised, the
most vulnerable years for their school children are as they enter the middle school
arena.
January 5, 1995

This past year the Crime Bill on a federal level and the Safe Neighborhoods Bill on a
state level discussed the problem of the middle school age group being involved in
gangs and drugs/alcohol abuse. These discussions have led to the grant process as
well as new laws that have defined gangs and gang membership as they specifically
relate to this youthful age group. All of the above organizations and laws that have
been passed certainly provide a basis for enhancing our current Officer Friendly,
School Counselor and Youth Officer programs and moving them into the middle
schools with a School Resource Officer program like the one from Boise, Idaho
described in the attached article.
We have had extensive discussions about the community policing initiatives that are
currently being pursued in the Village of Mount Prospect. These initiatives include the
Walk/Talk programs, the School Counselor program at Prospect High School, the
Visions program more specifically aimed at the south side of our Village, and the
Positive Action Community Alliance (PACA) program that served the north side of
Mount Prospect so well. Community policing has been defined in many publications
as a philosophy of full service personalized policing where the same officer works in
the same area on a permanent basis from a decentralized place, working in a proactive
partnership with citizens to identify and solve problems.
The School Resource Officer program would meet all of the above stated criteria for
community policing and would also meet the expectations of the Village Board's
commitment to solving crime problems before the crime is actually committed. The
School Counselor program at District 214 that is really our local model of the School
Resource Officer program allows an officer to work in direct partnership with the
school community to help create a stable environment that is conducive to
constructive learning and positive individual development and relationships by
recognizing problems in the schools before they spill over into the greater community
at large. This program could be brought into the junior high/middle school. By
creating a trusting and positive relationship between the police officer and school
authorities, teachers, counselors, students and the police department, the police
officer would be able to personalize his/her contact with the students and better
address problems before they reach critical or crisis stages. In this environment
initiatives such as peer counselling, peer juries and conflict resolution processes could
help expose students to alternative ways of dealing with problems and negative social
influences. The assignment would be a permanent assignment for up to three years
and would be proactive and focus on preventing problems before they occurred, an
enhancement of the TAP approach. This program in the middle schools would be a
partnership between people and their police that rests oNmutual respect and support.
January 5.. 1995
Page -3-
The School Counselor program at Prospect High School has been considered to be
very successful, not because of the number of arrests made, but rather because of the
problems that have been solved or prevented through the cooperative efforts of those
involved in the school experience. To be sure, we do not anticipate finding a large
amount of criminal activity in the middle schools. We believe the knowledge, skills
and training of a law enforcement professional could be used effectively in the middle
schools to address and relieve the concerns of school officials, parents and the
community.
If we were to start this program in the middle school it would fill the void that
currently exists between our Officer Friendly elementary school program and our
current High School Counselor program. This network that creates a positive
information flow would spill over into the community over the summer months as well
as non -school hours throughout the week. The permanent placement of an officer in
each middle school would establish a valuable conduit for communication with the
community and for the joint resolution of those problems of mutual concern and
interest that are affecting our children.
As Police Chief, I am a proponent of this program because unlike other programs that
would require perhaps an officer in every apartment building or an officer in every
business district, it would allow us to meet face to face the parents and students that
are involved in all of our schools and, therefore, create mutual trust and respect to
solve problems before they occur. Through the various meetings with TAP, RAPP,
Fighting Back, Visions and YouthServe, there is no doubt that a School Resource
Officer program would bring the police department into an overall Community Based
Policing effort in Mount Prospect.
Please review this proposal and the attached material and my staff and I will be
prepared to discuss the proposal of this program and how it could function even
without Crime Bill funds. However, before my staff and I continue researching and
investing additional staff hours into the School Resource Officer concept, we need
further direction from the Manager's Office and the Village Board. Please advise.

athletic shoe company, recog-
L nized by every teenager in Amer-
ica. The slogan's appeal comes from a
sense of urgency and the corresponding
desire to take action before it is too late.
This same sense of urgency and desire
to take action is rippling through the na-
tion's juvenile justice system. Violent
crime in our schools and among our
young people is reaching alarming pro-
portions nationwide. Students are arming
themselves and killing each other like
never before. The National Center for
Juvenile Justice reports an increase of
nearly 50 percent in youth murder arrests
between 1988 and 1990.
However, Boise, Idaho, with a popu-
lation of 130,000, is relatively free of serious
juvenile crime. Drug use for school-age
children remains below national averages,
and gang activity is not a significant
problern. It is believed that the city's long-
term commitment to youth is the prin-
cipal reason for our success to date. The
police department's school resource
officers (SROs) are the front-line interven-
tion specialists who unite efforts among
the school district, the community and
the police department to maintain order.
The program began in 1970, when of-
ficers of the Boise Police Department (BPD)
met with members of the Boise Independ-
ent School District (BISD). Together they
designed the SRO Project, which was sim-
ilar to existing programs in Tucson, Ari-
zona, and Flint, Michigan. With federal
funds obtained through a Law Enforce-
ment Administration Assistance grant to
operate a pilot project for one year, officers
were carefully selected and placed in three
of the city's junior high schools.
After the first year of operation, it was
decided to expand the program to three
additional junior highs. The federal grant
expired in 1971, and the city assumed
responsibility for funding the prograrn.
Independent polls and studies indicated
strong support for the SROs by the stu-
dents, their parents, school staffs, com-
munity service organizations and the ju-
venile court. Other divisions of the police
department reported an improvement of

A large part of the SROs'
function is preventive in
nature. While they are not

broadened in 1976, when the department
included three senior high school SROs.
Currently the BPD has 177 sworn offi-

sworn officer complement of 14. Juvenile

SRO& The junio-7high SROs also have
responsibility for investigations and edu-
cational programs at elementary schools
that graduate students into their respec-
tive junior highs. Security for sporting
events held after normal school hours is
provided by SROs as well.
The BISD is quite large. Total student
enrollment as of January 1993 was 25,032.
There are 4,607 high school students and
5,656 junior high students. The school dis-
trict has 32 elementary schools with a
student population of 14,462.
Only experienced police officers are se-
lected for SRO assignments. Necessary
qualifications include the ability to work
effectively with people, especially young
people. Their salaries, benefits and equip-
ment are provided by the police depart-
ment. Office space, office equipment and
utilities are provided by the school dis-
trict. The police department is reimbursed
for overtime costs based on a letter of
agreement with the school district.
The section is highly decentralized. The
high school, junior high and alternative
school SROs maintain offices at their as-
signed schools. Remaining staff members
work from the Criminal Investigation Office.
Communication is always difficult with
any decentralized group, and is particu-
larly so with SROs, who are encouraged
to spend time away from their offices and
to engage in proactive activities in the
classroom lunchroom and on or near the
campus. Communication is maintained
through four separate systems. All .TROs
are equipped with police car radios, office
telephones, mobile radio phones and
pagers. A number of schools have radio
systems that interface with the SRO radio
phone, enabling the SRO to talk directly
with school officials while involved in
extracurricular activities or while on
campus Patrol.
While the SRO's role in the schools is
diverse, he is first and foremost a juvenile
detective. In 1992, the Juvenile Services
Section formally dealt with 3,452 cases
involving juvenile suspects. All juvenile
cases generated by the Patrol Division or
other sections of the Criminal Investiga-
tion Division are referred to the juvenile
section for investigation and disposition.
SROs also initiate many cases brought
directly to them because of their close
proximity to the students, schools and the
community.
A large part of the SROs' function is
preventive in nature. While they are not
responsible for enforcing school policies,
their presence on campus does serve to
assist in maintaining order in a sometimes

This decline in authority has occurred
along with a corresponding increase in

reported. The police officers' role as au-
thority figures and their statutory author-
ity makes them, an invaluable asset to the
schools' administrators.

the more popular and successful pro-

assistance and realistic information

# education of children regarding the
role of laws, courts and police in society;
0 protection of children against moles-
tation, involvement with older law
violators and other harmful influences;
1 0 investigation of cases involving ju-
veniles and use of effective alternatives
to court whenever possible; and
*prevention of crime or delinquent
behavior by juveniles in their assigned
areas.
If we were beginning a program such
as the SRO program today, we might call
it a form of community policing. Com-
munity policing encompasses the world
of the juvenile in the community: the
peers, parents, police and teachers work-
ing together for the benefit of the
community's youth.
With its 23 -year history of excellence,
Boise's SRO program is an outstanding
example of a program that works. No one
can predict the future, but the city, the
department, the schools and the conunu-
nity remain committed to the reduction
of juvenile crime. Time will tell if we will
continue to be successful- 'life is short;
play hard." *
