IV. LANDLORD/TENANT ORDINANCE
In August of this year, the Board directed staff to
proceed with the drafting of the Landlord/Tenant Ordinance.
This Ordinance provides for a two-phase program: The
inspection of multi -family structures within the community
and mediating landlord/tenant disputes. Since last meeting
with the Committee of the Whole, the staff has redrafted
this legislation and it is currently being reviewed by
legal counsel. A meeting was held to receive input from
property managers in an attempt to develop an Ordinance
which is workable for both the Village and the rental
agents. This was a verb constructive meeting and some
very positive changes were made. The basic concepts of
the program, however, have not changed.
Attached is the second draft of the Ordinance along with
a letter to Mr. Newman indicating some additional changes
which we have requested him to make. Mr. Newman's draft
of the Ordinance should be available on Monday or Tuesday
of next week and will be distributed immediately.
As we have discussed previously, it is anticipated that
implementation of this Ordinance will require the addition
of one full-time inspector in the Division of Code Enforce-
ment, and a part or full-time mediator who will be assigned
to the Health Department. Funds for these and other
expenses will be derived from an annual $7.00 per unit
licensing fee. At this time, we would request final
Board direction on the,Landlord/Tenant Program so that
an implementation strategy can be developed and an Ordinance
prepared for Board action. Start-up time will be
approximately 90 days after final Board action.
V., POLICE DEPARTMENT SQUAD CAR BIDS
December 13 is the deadline for submission of bids to
provide 15 Police Department vehicles. Five vehicles
were budgeted for fiscal year 1983 and it was planned
that an additional 10 vehicles would be replaced in
fiscal 1984. The proposal provides for the immediate
delivery of the five vehicles budgeted for this year
with the delivery date in late spring for the vehicles
proposed for fiscal 1984. These last vehicles will
be paid for out of the 1984 budget.
We would like to review the bid results with the Board
on the 14th along with staff's recommendation and will
answer any questions which the Board may have at that
time. Chief Pavlock has expanded the process of developing
specifications for squad cars this year and used a
committee system to review departmental needs, as well
as to consider maintenance costs, resale value and officers'
needs. The committee included members of the Police
Department as well as mechanics from the Public Works
Department in order to provide as much input as possible)
A copy of the entire report is included with your packet.','

CABLE T.V. FRANCHISE FEES
Trustee Farley was recently elected Chairman of the
Northwest Municipal Conference Cable Consortium. He and
Jay Hedges, from staff, have been representing Mount,
Prospect and the Consortium since it was established *in
the spring of this year. Mount Prospect's share of
costs for hiring staff and related,expenses was $2,400
for fiscal year 1983. The Consortium's primary
ibiliti I
responsl- 1 ies are to monitor the construct'on of
the Cablenet system, to assure that all performance
requirements are met to monitor the marketing techniques
used by Cablenet and to plan for future operation and
programming of public and government access channels.
The Consortium has been an effective and efficient method
of monitoring the'system area -wide and Eric Anderson, the
Cable Coordinator recently hired under the program, has
proven to be very capable in this area.
A current matter for consideration by local Boards and
the reason for bringing the subject of Cable T.V. to the
Committee of the Whole at this time is the discussion of
franchise fees' revenues. Under the agreement with
Cablenet, the Village of Mount Prospect, as well as the
other communities in the Consortium, will receive 5%
of Cablenet's gross revenues. It is anticipated that
this amount will approach $100,000 during fiscal year
1984 for the Village of Mount Prospect. Strict inter-
pretation of current Federal Communications Commission
regulations indicates that communities receiving more
than 3% franchise fees must commit all funds received
to the cable system. Cablenet, however, has agreed to
waive this provision and the FCC has indicated that they
have no method of enforcement. We are attempting, at
this time, to secure legal opinion on this matter.
A list of the 'potential uses of franchise fees will be
distributed prior to the meeting.'
VII. WATER AGENCY VEHICLES
At the request of Trustee Floros, the subject of vehicles
for pipeline inspectors during the construction period If
is placed on this agenda for discussion.
