Ivo MELAS PARK DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW
Village Manager Michael Janonis stated that the Arlington Heights Park District
and the At. Prospect Park District are here to present a Development Plan
overview. The initial development will focus on the west half of the Park which lies
in the Arlington Heights Park District zone. At this time, few 'improvements are
contemplated 'in the east half of the site which is under control, of the Mt. Prospect
Park District. He further stated that an informational mailing was distributed to
residents 'in the area of the Park prior to this meeting "in order to solicit citizen
comments.
a
Tmmftd W'ft asked what nights would the lights be on until 11:00 p.m. Mr.
Oakes stated usually Monday through Friday the lights would be Off by 11:00 p.m-.
due to their league rules. Their leagues typically only run through weekdays.
kdays.
Trustee Wilks asked if there were any plans for the Mount Prospect side,
Waly CooK of #* Mt P Park D" stated at this time, they have no
extensive plans for the development of their side of the site. However, they plan
to use the football/soccer fields that they currently have more intensively in the
future and also may consider building a concession/shelter and play area in the
general vicinity of the playing field.
General discussion followed.
Tmistee Wft asked Mr. Dickerson 'if he would provide a list of similar lighting
schemes in the area for Trustees"to review. Mr. Dickerson stated that would be
no problem and would forward a list to all Trustees for their information,
Herb Wool% stated they would sUll be able to dump leaves and snow in the
parking lot and this is included as part of the agreement. The type and cost of the
road is yet to be determined but he would estimate approximately $100,000 for the
road which is the Village's responsibility according to the agreement.
6
Mr. Oakes stated he is investigating possible grant availability for funding of
various phases of the project as is Mr. Weeks for funding anal* stance for the road
itself,
General discussion concerning the amount of parking spaces followed with
numerous Trustees stating their concern about the limited number of parking
spaces when the site is under heavy use; for example, during the 4th of July
celebration based on the it scheduled for the west side would damage
the fields. The 4th of July celebration will remain on the east side of the service
road,
Mr. Ze ' ' stated that they could redraw the plans 'in order to determine if
additional land is available for future lots and a possible land banking situation and
at this time, may even consider adding additional parking if necessary per the
Trustees' comments.
Tnjsb* Hoefert recommended that additional parking be built at this time to
minimize disruption.
I
Training will have to focus less on acting after the fact, like filing a police report,
to spending time to avoid filing a police report. Will have to spend more time in
community.
General discussion followed where miscellaneous issues concerning the Police
Department were discussed among the Trustees and the Police Department
personnel.
Trustee C asked if any citizen surveys show Citizen concern about secunoty

ponded that neighbord at helps pvide the secure
feeling, but the probability of Officers intercepting a crime is remote.
Tnmgee Hoetert asked if dispatching from a single location improves the feeling of
security.
Chief Pavkck stated the Officers are responding to one call after another and do
not wait at a location for a call in order for Officers to be in the field and avoid
returning to station unless necessary.
Trustee Skowron questioned the cost per f cer comparison chart and its
illustration compared to other muniCA'palities.
Dave Jepson stated that it is important to isolate the total cost for all services
within each Department, therefore, the cost associated with the Police Department
includes all costs that the Village must cover. For example, insurance and
Workers' Compensation is included in the total Police Department cost while other
communities may not include that 'in one single budget location.
T,n,mMw, Corcoran stated if you switched to community-based policing, how will you
know when more Officers will be needed.
I
Chief PaAck", stated that service demands may not always tell us when we need
more Officers but citizen demands should provide that. Although community-
based policing is not based on statistics which we usually utilize to illustrate the
need for additional Officers, the actual participation of citizens and the interceding
of Officer assistance should be comparable to service demands.

Ilia CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
11
Richard DumbrowsM, of 914 Sumac Lane, stepped forward to speak about
property taxes, He asked why can't residents get more action concerning
minimizing property taxes. He stated that much of the discussion has focused on
senior citizens. He 'i's concemed that the younger C4*tizens are not getting equal
consideration of n"sing property taxes.
Tnmfte Hoefbrt stated that as Trustees, we all want to keep taxes down and
asked Mr. Dumbrowski if he has gone to i taxing bodies with his concerns.
Mr. Dumbrowski stated that he is trying to get the other taxing bodies to discuss
this concern, however, he feels there seems to be a great deal of apathy among
the citizens. He is planning to go to District 214 meetings in the near future.
Tro*w floefert asked numerous questions 'Including the effect of last year' -
drought on the tree population and if the Department has any recommendation,
to protect trees during construction. He also asked if the slower growing tree
have a longer life -,span compared to the fast-growing shade trees. I
I
Tmotee Ckmas asked if i budget include's money for leaf pick-up. He
also asked what the ratio of parkway trees is compared to trees on private
property. He also stated the report states that most communities pay
approximately $2.60 per capita for trees and he 'Inquired whether this figure
includes other governmental bodies! expenditures for trees; for example, i
Preserves, etc. He also stated that there had been more trees planted than
removed based on the analysis of the report, however, he questioned the level of
Ob 0 0
citizen participation in replacement trees and whether the Village was 'incurring
higher cost for replacement with minimal citizen participation.
Trindee WOI* stated that the report recommends on page 27 that the Village
revise its Ordinance and prohibit topping of trees. She also stated that the report
recommend removal of unwanted trees. She also asked if there could be anything
done to prevent gypsy moss pn*or to them becoming active in the destruction of the
trees.
Sandy Clark and Chrls Luley responded to the numerous comments from the
Trustees. The drought may cause long-term root damage, however, regular
watering does help in minimizing the root damage. Also, there has been some
rapport established with area contractors to minimize i and damage to
trees due to construction projects. There really is no data on whether slow-
growing trees have a longer life span as compared to faster growing trees,
however, most homeowners want the fast growing trees to maximize shade
availability as quickly as possible. Many more trees have been planted without
citizen participation because there 'I's minimal developer money available due to
development being down within the Village so the Village will incur additional cost
in the Village for maintenance and installing trees. The topping of trees takes
away the drown and it disrupts the growth pattern of the van"ous trees. The Village
Forestry Department has a policy of not topping trees, however, vadous utilities
continue this practice. The State is still studying i moth program in an
effort to reduce its impact and study its life cvc1e. . However, as of this date, there
has been minimal progress.

Jeff Wulbecker, Village Engineer, summan*zed the various projects. He started
with an overview, of SRA Route 12 (Rand, Road). SRAs are supplemental major
artedal roads designed to supplement highway traffic. A recent public hearing was
held to present the final design report. The projected, schedule to provide a final
engineering report is expected in February of 1994. The only real financial impact

1994. IDOT has proposed a project from Interstate 90 to Northwest Highway. Th
cost impact to the Village is limited to any infrastructureimprovements that ma
be provided simultaneously with the road construction. Based on the prelimina
plans that have been provided to the Village, a significant tree loss 'is expected
The widening of the road to five lanes will cause 75% of the trees to be remove
between Golf and the s -curve. With only four eleven -foot lanes, there will be
50% tree loss. Some of the problems that are expected to be encountered wit
this reconstruction are the closeness of the homes to the road at vadous location
and the cul-de-sacing of Pine and Wille streets on the s -curve.
The public hearing is expected to be scheduled for sometime in early 1994 and to
take place 'in the spn*ng of 1994.

General discussion followed in which numerous Trustees stated their concern
about the tree removal and the impact on residents including the noise of enlarged
lanes closer to residential units. It was also discussed among the Trustees that

Wolf to River Road. This is a joint project between Prospect Heights and the
Village of Mount Prospect. They are projecting funding from the Northwest
Municipal Conference for approximately 60% of the total pace. Prospect Heights

Municipal Conference is the agency that reviewed Federal Fund Applications for
regional road projects.

WMT IS AN 1VICC9
Congress authorized MCC's as a method of providing housing assistance to eligible homebuyers.
An MCC reduces the amount of the borrower's federal income tax liability, thus making more
income available to qualify for a mortgage loan. Every homeowner is allowed to claim a federal
income tax deduction for interest paid on a mortgage loan. An MCC improves this benefit.
Twenty percent of all mortgage interest paid quaes as a tax credit - that 'is, a dollar for dollar
reduction of the borrower's tax liability. The remaining eighty percent of the mortgage interest
paid continues to qualify as an itemized tax reduction. The reduction in tax liability resulting
from the MCC tax credit effectively reduces the interest cost of the mortgage loan.
The buyer may either file a revised W-4 withholding � to receive an immediate benefit, or wait
until filing his or her federal income tax return to receive the credit in the form of a tax refund.
Either way, the buyer applies more of his or her earnings to mortgage payments and less to
federal income taxes.
The following requirements must be met to qualify r MCC:
1) In most instances, borrowers must be buying their first home (or may not have owned a
residence in the past three years).
2) The buyer's household income must fall wn a specified limit that is set by the IRS.
3) The mortgage loan must be a r not a refinancing.
4) The home must become the buyer's principal residence within 60 days of closing.
The residence may be a single family detached residence, a townhome, or a condominium unit,
The purchase price of the home cannot exceed the purchase price limit set by the IRS.
The MCC is
M• r• onto the participating lender's own loan. An MCC may be used 1
conjunction with any conventional, FILA, or VA insured loan. The interest rate can be fixed o
I
adjustable. An MCC, cannot, however, be used in conjunction with a loan obtained from a tax
I
exempt age bond program. The lender establishes the interest rate, down payme
mortgI
n
requirement, loan fees and underwriting criteria.
The MCC tax credit is good for the life of the mortgage so long as the home remains the buver's
principal 'residence.

Assume we have a family that earns $35,000 annually with no other standard tax
deductions. They buy their first home and borrow $65,000 at an interest rate of 8%, from

Credit Certificates" that must be filed with the IRS, and
the "report to the Governor's Office" on volume cap
allocated and issued.
2. Assist your municipality market the program to lenders,
realtors, homebuilders and the general public.
3. Provide the following documents for your municipality's MCC
Program:
A. Lender Participation Agreements - to ensure
participating lenders comply with program requirements.
13. Lender Procedur*"al Manuals - so lenders have a readily
available resource.
I
C. Program Forms and Affidavits - to certify buyer
eligibility and tax code compliance,
4. Develop ,and .maintain a first come, first served MCC
reservation system.
5. Review MCC applications for eligibility and compliance, and
issue MCC's following loan closing.
6. Maintain records regarding the issuance of MCC's and prepare
for your municipality quarterly and annual reports to the
IRS on MCC's issued.
7. Furnish data to participating lenders and monitor their
11 annual reporting to the IRS.
8. Maintain demographic data sufficient to meet the IRS
reporting regulations governing MCC Programs,
In return for our services, MCC recipients will be required to
pay,an administration fee in an amount equal to $350.00 or one
percent (1k) of the mortgage loan, payable at closing whichever
is less.
We recognize that many first-time homebuyers are "cash poor" at
closing, and our fee adds one more cost. However, unlike closing
costs, the borrower will recover this expense many times over
during the course of owning the home. For the "cash poor"
borrower, a means of reducing the lender's loan origination fee
is generally available. Most lenders will reduce their loan fee
by at least one percent if the borrower accepts a .25t higher
interest rate.
In conclusion, the Authority will provide full service program
administration to your municipality. We will work closely with
lenders, realtors and buyers to ensure program success.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM: VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE: JANUARY 7, 1994
SUBJECT: BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
The biggest concerns that have been articulated by Board members, staff and other
interested parties; i.e., Economic Development Commission and local business persons,
are: (1) The fear that once the door is open, it cannot be closed; and (2) Any policy
geared solely toward new business is not equitable in dealing with existing businesses.
While these two concerns are legitimate and require substantial thought and debate, they
should be balanced against the economic gain that the Village could realize as a result
of a reasonable Business Assistance Program.
The attached information package should help to frame some of the issues inherent in
any discussion on this topic. Additionally, the Board may wish to consider the following
list of policy questions as part of their deliberations:
What are the costs and benefits of economic policies used to large
commercial users?, I
0
2. How can the Village protect itself from ano
y risk associated with such
policies?
3. What other communities in the and/or/there and Northwestern Suburbs have
looked at such policies and what types of approaches have been taken?
4. What are some important local goals in addressing their policies?
5. What are the downside risks of not evolving policies?
6. How can the Village develop approaches that apply to some users but not
all users?
T. What about marketplace risks and the concerns that users might not be
around long term?
& Why do big national corporations tions care, about Village assistance when they
can "afford" to develop such sites themselves?
9. What's the next wave?
Staff attempt to secure "experts" in this'area that might be able to discuss both the pros
and cons of establishing a, Business Assistance Program.

PE' TY TAX'NCENTIVES FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN COOK COLiNTY
PRO R
Cook County has a property tax incentive
program for businesses wishing to develop
new facillitles or to ex, and existing facilities.
The program, proposed by Assessor Thomas C.
Hynes and approved by the Cook County Board
of Commissioners, also extends relief to reoccu-
pled1ndustrial and commercial properties that
have, been vacant for 24 continuous months. The
program allows for reduced assessment levels
in four categories, determined either by use or
by the combination of use and location.
Without an incentive, the standard level of
assessment would be 36% for industrial real
estate and 38% for commercial real estate.
Tbese incentives are designed to encourage
industrial and commercial development county-
wide. to stlmjlate t?ne revitalization of communities

DATEO December 13, 1993
SUBJECT: Target Store - Request for Financial Assistance
I have reviewed the Discussion Material and the Business District Model Development Plan that
has been supplied by Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. on behalf of the Target Store
proposed for South Emhurst Road. The Discussion Material ('DM) formally requests assistance
from the V e to compensate Target for *extraordinary project costs" and the Business District
Model Development Plan provides the statutory mechanism for providing assistance to a
developer outside of a District. Target is requesting reimbursement for extraordinary costs
from the Vie of $869,167.
I&-
The DM identifies the types of ex1lalordinary costs that are expected to be incurred during
construction and also discusses the benefits of this development to the Vie and to other ta= g
bodies. The extraordinary costs are the result of poor soil conditions which will require a more
expensive method of constructing the and foundation and in stab the parking lots.
The DM states that Target p-meteers this sine, but the extra costs puts the site out of Target's
range.
17he DM also includes detailed projections of new revenue that the Village and other toxin
bodies would "or& I have sum these projections and added a 2nd - 1/4 home rule
sales tax and an estimate for utility taxes and the food and beverage tax on the attached sched u I e
Ile schedule shows the annual average receipts for the first 10 years, 10 year total receipts and
20 year total opts.During the first 10 years' the Vie would average $438,144 per re-ar
in new revenue and other taxing bodies would realize $311,394 per year. Over the first 10 vex
period, the Mfllage would receive $4,329,058 and the other taxing bodies would rete il-e
$2,8059549,
The Business District Model Development Plan identifies the statutory method that the Village
could use to provide assistance outside of a TIF District. This is a draft document that has been
modeled after the provisions of the Business District Development and Redevelopment Act in
Illinois Revised Statutes Chapter 24, Section 11-74.3. This Act allows for the use of sales Lax
receipts and any other available receipts to provide assistance to developers who meet Spec It i%-'
criteria in contributing to the overall public benefit of the community. This type of assistance
6

has been provided by Evanston, Skolde, Lombard, Batavia, Woodridge, Wood Dale, Bradle,
and Galesb urg.
Over the past 15 years the Village of Mount Prospect has provided assistance to developers U"
the following ways: 1) Industrial Revenue Bonds IRit 2) Class 6B Property Tax Incentives
3) Tax Incremental Financing District ); 4) The Facade Improvement Program; and 5
Marketing Consulting Services for Mount Prospect Plaza,..
An IRB allows the Village to issue tax-exempt bonds on behalf of a business. Tne advantagi
is us y a reduction in M'terest rates of about 2-1/2%. The V e issued 6 IRB's during thO
41
1980's with an average principal amount of about $3,000,000. For a ten-year maturity, thl-
would amount to a savings of about $495,000 in interest costs over the life of the bonds.
Internal Revenue Service has tightened the requirements for IRB's and currently they only appli,
to certain tax-exempt org fintions and certain housing projects.
A Class B Property Tax Incentive A W - -
,provides for. a reduction in eq valuation (EAV
from 36 % to 16 % for 8 years and then from 36 % tofor the next four years for cer='
manufacturing properties. The typical savings for the first 8 years are about $35,500 per yea
for each $1 mon of EAV. IMe V e has granted Class 6B to th:ree properties, howeVer
only two were actually constructed.
A TIF provides a number of incentives for p - rties included in a TIF District. In TIF Targe
Am A, the V e wrote down land values by 50% as well as M*sWEng certain utilities. Thl
V e's total costs in Target Area A were approximately $1 miWon. Additionally, in Targe
Area E, the V e expended some $400,000 to provide additional parldng 'in the downtowl
area,
The Facade Improvement Progmin has provided design services plus a grant of up to $5,000 to
downtown area businemes for code and facade improvements. Since 1980, the Village ha -s
expended $275,000 in CDBG funds and approximately $150,000 in General Fund monies for
this purpose. 11
The Marketing Consulting Services for Mount Prospect included payment of 50% of the cost
of a study to upgrade Mount Prospect P The Village's share of the study was about
$459000.

Target Store -Request for Financial Assistance
From the above examples it can be seen that the V e has been involved in a number of
a
sistance prom=s for local bu in The circumstances in ea h instance have been unique
W
and have been used to the extent possible.
In regard to the request by Target, I should mention that the assistance requested is not
n ssarily for a one-time payment. Ile . &stance can be paid over a period of time with the
source of the payments limited to new revenues received from Target, I understand that this
means that 'if revenues are not received, the Village would not have any oblig4on to pay.
I realize that this is an extraordinary request and a different type of assistance d= has been
provided, in the past. Also, I wonder if there could be some middle ground or reduced amount
regarding the amount of stance provided. However, the, proposed Target Store would
provide a t financial benefit to the Village and the other taxing bodies in the Village
and I think we should explore some type of financial assistance.

TO: Mount Prospect Village Board of Trustees
FROM: Economic Development Commission
SUBJECT: Incentives as Economic Development Tools
The Economic Development Commission (EDC) was asked by Mayor Farley to
develop a "White Paper" on the use of "Incentives" by Mount Prospect in econcmc
development. A complete "Wlite Paper"remains to be developed but the basics for the
report are incorporated in this memorandum. The EDC suppom and uses the Village's
comprehensive plan which is to be used to establish appropriate development of properties
within the boundaries of Mount Prospect.
Our recommendations are that if economic incentives are to be offered, they
should be available for the development of:
1. Existing businesses
2. New businesses
3. Business attraction
4. Dow.Ttow—ii urevitafization
impill 1 Pill wevilliriiii pievis
1. Any assistance must be carefully considered in order to assure that their is no
economic risk to the Village and it's residents.
2. Each project should be considered on its own merit and first meet a
pre -established criteria before the Village Board of Trustees mav o
assistance to any development.
From these recommendations and other considerations, the EDC considered
whether to recommend the use of economic incentives. Further, it was acknowledged that
the trend continues locallv in the area and nationwide for the use of economic incentives.
However, some studies do indicate that incentives are not often the top reason why
companies choose one location over another. Businesses more often seek incentives to
reduce costs and increase their bottom line which then becomes an integral part of a
company's decision process and business plan. The incentive game is an intense and
senous one wide1v used and available on a local and state basis.
&I
These factors mentioned and others led to the following motion which was made
N_ and seconded by Ben Trapani. The motion was approved by 6 ayes and 0
nays. One member absent.
"We support the use of economic incentives for business development
in Mount Prospect. However, each project should be considered on its own
merit and meet a pre -established criteria. Unexpected or extr or dffiary
expenses should 1e the 1asis for new &Wopment".
I
The main reason for EDC to recommend that Mount Prospect offer incentives is
to be equal to or more competitive with other communities. A second and almost as
compelling a reason is that major national retai] t�?e companies that have the potential of
cenerating, comiderable sales tax revenue and new, emplo�ment opportunes, do as a part
of their initial m*quu'-v., ask what incenti,\,,es are available. Without the option of at least
discussing incentives that could be considered, the probable action by an inquiring
c.ompan-v would be to discontinue their consideration of their store location 'in the Villa�ge
and look elsewhere.
At this time, the EDC is prepared to continue its work M' the development of pre-
established criteria for incentives. The in(�.entives listed below are those first being
evaluated bv EDC to entice new businesses and keep existing businesses from lea-ving.
W
1. Unexpected or extraordinary expenses cost sharing: for major retail type
business a return of up to a 1.14 cent of sales tax generated by the store to help
defray unexpected extra expense (ie, poor soil. conditions, condemnation, etc.)
limited to a predetermined dollar amount and a defined period of time.
A.. Sharing of some renovation costs of certain distressed areas (econo '
or/physical) -- payment of cost by sales tax rebate over a defmed period of
time.
3. Site infrastructure.- can be equated with traditional public works --highways,
roads streets. water supplv s-vstems, sewage and waste systems, etc.
4. Accelerated permitting process (one stop permit process . ),
The EDC was briefed on the Target Store request for some economic support by
the Villagre of Mount Prospect that is proposed for use in the construction of a new store
on a vacant parcel of land. The Targ
.:,et Store under consideration to be lol-,-.ated near
Algonquin Road and Elmhurst Road was specificarlhT discussed at our January 5., 1994
meeting. The request by Target Stores was for financial assistance to help offset the
extraordm*ary expenses to mitigate a poor soil condition of the site. �X'e �,,onsidered the
request to be reasonable and justified but the EDC made no recommendations as to the
dollar amount of economic support to be proNided by the Village. we believe
that 1/4 of a cent of sales tax revenue credited to Target Stores over a fixed period of time
is an acceptable and equitable way of funding the Village's economic support.
