CALL TO ORDER - ROLL CALL II. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 22, 1983 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. MUNICIPAL ENERGY PROGRAM Vari ous news., sources predict that -en- • .. within the`,`n'ext- decade. These kinds of utility cost increases will have a severe,demand on individual budgets and divert household income from purchasing other I goods and services. The City of Evanston has implemented a local energy conservation and awareness program making in -roads towards controllingthese future', expenses. With a moderate local expenditure of approximately $15,G00 per year, the Village could be , come a, faci*lita,tor bringl i �ng together existing infotmatio nk and agencle's specializ ing in energy conserva- ti,on, and home,, improvements. The Village could, sponsor energy workshops utilizing resources -that exist with Commonwealth Edison, Northern Illinois Gas and the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources. The program, properly designed and monitored, will be able to measure within a relatively short period of time, one to two years, the results of our local efforts. If the Mayor and Board of Trustees agree to proceed in policy with such a program, it would be the Manager's intention to-utillize-Community Development Block Grant funds to the maximum extent feasible. - -I ''would- expect that a program can, be operational through part-time personnel working ten to twenty hours per week. V. ADVISORY REFERENDUM Representative Daniel Pierce of Highland Park has submitted to Springfield House Bill 1736 commonly called the Taxpayers' Relief Act. The Act, if it becomes law, would amend the State Income Tax Code in the area of dividends received 'by corporate taxpayers from foreign corporations and establishes a Unitary Tax system for foreign corpora- tions. The Coalition for 'Political Honesty is requesting that local governments support this Bill on the grounds that it will - reduce utility taxes on consumers and provide additional revenues to local governments. The Coalition-- is also requesting that each local government pass an Ordinance calling for an Advisory Referendum to be held on March 20 during the 1984 Primary. Information on this has been distributed previously. I MULTIPLE OFFENDER. AND SOLICITATION ORDINANCES Attached are memos from . Chiu Pavlock re arding the Village's computer program to identify multile offenders and his analysis of an Ordinance to allow the Police Department to i ound a veh/cle "in place for multiple offenses. The actual Ordinance is now being, drafted by our attorneys. Out of approximately 1900 delinquent parking tickets, we have approxi, m 'ately 1105u tiple violators with three or more outs tan iAg tickets. Also attached-to the ...Agenda is . a memo__ from Chiu Pavlock identifying critical items associated with our regulation of solicitors and temporary peddlers. Chief Pavlock will be available at the meeting to discuss the issues with you. Drafts of Ordinances have been submitted to our attorneys for their review and finalization. VII.

ADJOURNMENT DEFERRED ITEMS Development Cade Update Sidewalks/Lawsuit Notice Citizens Utilities Acquisition Safety Bonus system Ln O1 Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Terrance L. Burghard, Village Manager FROM: Michael Janonis, Landlord/Tenant Coordinator RE: Energy Program DATE: December 9, 1983 Per your request I have conducted a feasibility study regarding a Mount Prospect sponsored Energy Conservation Program. An effective program, targeting the approximately 11,716 single-family homes in the Village, would include a public awareness campaign; home energy audit drive; information clearinghouse; local business discount program and the existing Village weatherization program. Such a program would cost $13,300*. A breakdown of that total includes: - Addition of one part-time person to develop a program $10,000 - Cost of acquiring quantities of conservation publications 300 .(many are free) - Cost of mailing 1,000 - Cost of a Public Awareness Campaign 2s000 - Cost of support staff (secretary) in, kind current personnel The need for a conservation program stems from projections that the cost of the three major residential energy sources: Natural gas-, electricity and gas-oline, will at least triple during the 1980's. Current consumption data supplied by Commonwealth Edison and Northern Illinois Gas shows that the average electric and gas bills for. -a. -residential consumer -i -n 1982-- 1983 were $630 and $950 - respectively. If costs triple as projected, the average Mount Prospect homeowner can expect annual electric bills of $1,900 and gas bills of $2,850 by 1990 (see 1 and 2 appendix). Average gasolin'.e consumption levels are expected to increase dramatically as well Single-family homeowners in Mount Prospect are, with few exceptions, totally- depen-dent on utility -companies for their energy needs: Heating, cooling, cooking, lighting and appliances, As such, they are more vulunerable to price increases tVvan other groups (industrial and commercial) because they cannot pass on the increased costs, or switch to cheaper energy sources as easily as other sectors can. Terrance L. Burg, December 9, 1983 Page - 2 - The Village of Mount Prospect can assume a leadership�rolO in encouraging investment now in energy efficiency by providing the necessary staff resources to develop an educational program that would provide homeowners with enough information to motivate them to take individual conservation actions. The benefits derived from a conservation program appear to be substantial. They include: - The cost of a program, $11,300 or approximately $.88-. per single-family household, is minimal compared to the potential benefit. (See Investing in Water Conservation Appendix 3) --Money not spent on energy can be used to pump -up the local economy. An Evanston study estimates that for energy purchases, only $.15 out of every dollar stays in the community, whereas $.40 out of every dollar spent for non -energy purchase remains in the community. - There are numerous government agencies and private groups who have indicated that they would be willing to assist Mount Prospect. - The rate of return on investment for individual home owners seems to be high (up to 50%) while the initial capital outlay, on average appears to be small ($500 on avg). See Appendix 4. Any Village sponsored Conservation Program should include as its core elements the following: An aggressive Public Awareness Campaign,, Data and basic information already in existence, and data concerning MountProspectenergy consumption levels would be used to show that energy efficiency is economically attractive. 2) Active Promotion of Home ELer2ZAudits . For $15 the Illinois Energy Audit Association (IEAA), will conduct a Class I audit of a home. The audit includes an on -the -spot computer printout listing specific recommendations for energy conservation improvements. A promotional campaign might include a Board resolution proclaiming an Energy Audit Month in Mount Prospect, and.the active participation of Village Officials in the audit program. 3) Establishment of, an Information Clearl Dghouse. - Consisting mostly of free publications and other related materials including how-to mannuels, technical and product information, surveys and forecasts. These materials could be made available at the library, Senior Center, Village Hall and local businesses. 4) Merchant/Contractor Discount Pro ram. A program whereby local merchants and contractors give Village residents discounts on materials and services used in making efficiency improvements as the result of an energy audit. Terrance L. lBu" 4d December 9, 19,L, Page - 3 - 5) Aggressively Promote the Existing Mount Prospect Weatherization Pro ram. This would give lower income homeowners a chance to participate in the conservation program, currently sponsored by the Community Development Block Grant. Targets and performance indicators would also be established as a' means of measuring the degree of program success. Performance indicators would include participation and user levels. Targets can be set for getting the total single family housing stock audited over a given time period. An unsponsored IEAA promotional campaign offering the audits to Mount Prospect residents -earlier this year resulted in a 5.'6% request rate (735 reponses out of 13,000 mailings). As the program expands it would be possible to conduct post -audit surveys as to efficiency measures taken, savings realized, etc. This information could then be used as further evidence that conservation is cost-effective. The need and potential effectiveness of a conservation program is underscored by Ni -Gas statistics showing that even without a formalized conservation program, company wide avg. therm usage for heat dropped from 2068 therms in 1972 to 1647 therms in 1982. Unfortunately there here was no corresponding drop in the size of gas bills. Any additional savings that can be realized will come from adopting even greater efficiency measures. The above outlined program can be implemented within weeks of its approval by the Village Board. Larger reductions in consumption levels for Mount Prospect can be expected as greater efficiency measures are implemented. A Village sponsored Conservation Program will hasten those reductions by making it easier for residents to conserve.

Three simple ways to save water are: check for leaks, develop water -saving habits, and* install water -saving devices. An investment of $300 can easily return $60 per year. Water leakage is usually due to worn-out faucet washers and faulty toilet tank valves. A simple way to check for a toilet leak is to TeMoAre the tank cover and place food coloring, in the 'tank, preferably at a time when the toilet i will be unused for several hours. If the color seeps into the bowl, the flush 'ball probably needs - to b -6 -replaced. A new flush ball can be purchased for about ,$2. Faucet restTictors,, low flow shower beads, and toilet displacement -dams are inexpensive, but effective devices for conserving water. An alternative to the toilet displacement dam is a plastic soap 'bottle filled with water placed in the toilet tank to displace 'water. A toilet displacement dam can be purchased for about $10.. A low flow shower head costs between $10 and $15. IMTSMENT AJNALYSIS CfLkRT The following analysis is based on a water usage rate of 2555 cubic feet 4> per household during a 3 month period.

BURGHARD, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: RONALD W. PAVLOCK, CHIEF OF POLICE SUBJECT: COMPUTERIZED PARKING TICKET PROGRAM/WHEEL LOCK ORDINANCE IMPLEMENTATION DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 1983 In August, 1983 the Village Board directed my office to research the possibility of the implementation of -a wheel lock -ordinance. The Village Board was informed that we needed to activate an updated computerized parking ticket program before wheel locks could be used. Under your direction Management Services and Po,lice*Department staff have researched and made various changes in the Village computer program to allow for information as to multiple parking ticket offenders. The previous computer program only allowed for an automatic notification of delinquent parking ticket violators and for the automatic activation of Judgement procedures. Through the assistance of Management Services the Police Department can now accumulate 'through the computer multiple delinquent, offenders and relay this information to our parking enforcement o,ffl'cern (Communlity Service Officers). Therefore, it is the Police Department's recommendation that at the December 13, 1983 Committee of the Whole meeting we discuss the possible implementation of a wheel lock ordinance (The Boot). It should be noted that there are still many hours of work needed to totally refine the, parking ticket computer program, but communities have found that the publicity surrounding a wheel heel lock ordinance has greatly increased parking ticket, paynient compliance. I have attached the Mount Prospect Police Department parking ticket procedures and included the new addition implemented by Management Services to allow for the identification of multiple ticket offenders.- I have also attached a vehicle wheel lock summary previously reviewed by the Board with the notation that we are well on the way to an update in our computer program. The ordinance for vehicle wheel locks, or tow in place, is presently under review by our Village Attorney and Village Prosecutor. kbn W. Pavlock Chief of Police RWP:jh Attchs. PARKING TICKET PROCEDURES MOUNT PROSPECT PRESENT PROCEDURES 1. Citation is written by officer. 2. Delinquent notice generated after (15) days if not paid. a. Multiple offender listing by name and license plate. 3. Court notification made and citations set for court, after approximately three to four weeks. a. Multiple listing of multiple offender by name and license plate number. Possible within present computer programming and request made for this. Should be available shortly. 4. Judgement taken on all single tickets and warrants obtained for multiple offenders who have (3) or more tickets. 5. Judgement notice sent that judgement has been taken and matter can be settled in Niles with Court Clerk. ADDITION TO MOUNT PROSPECT PROGRAM/PROCEDURES 1. Auxiliary Service Officer receives notification Of multiple parking ticket offenders in the following manner: a. From delinquent notice listing. b. From records clerk who is aware that individual has multiple tickets in system and tracks down these tickets. 2. Upon notification of multiple ticket offenders the Auxiliary Service Officer attempts to make phone contact directly with the offender and have a settlement made for all citations. 3. If the above procedures fail, implementation of a wheel lock device will then be activated. VEHICLE WHEEL LOCK SUMMARY COST FACTORS/AVAILABILITY OF VEHICLE WHEEL LOCKS A. Vehicle Wheel locks cost $ 300.00 per unit. B. The original company that sold vehicle wheel locks is no longer in business, but these types of devices are available at present from Hersey Products located in Elk Grove Village. C. The vehicle wheel lock available from Hersey Products is an improved device, which is much more difficult to defeat than the original vehicle wheel lock device-. CURRENT USE BY POLICE AGENCIES OF VEHICLE'WHEEL LOCKS A. Vehicle wheel locks are used by several different police agencies both within the State of Illinois and outside of the State. The nearest community to Mount Prospect that has used a vehicle wheel lock device is the Palatine Police Department. 1. Palatine began to use vehicle wheel locks for multiple parking offenders for several reasons in addition to for-cing an indivi- dual who has multiple parking tickets to pay the fines. These are: a. The attention obtained by the use of this device has i, increased compliance with -the parking regulations within their commuter lots and downtown areas. b. There has been a reduction in ' the non -paid tickets, since the attention of using the wheel lock has apparently increased the willingness of individuals to pay parking tickets rather than chance having the wheel lock device applied to their cars. 2. At the present time, the Palatine Police Department considers the use of vehicle wheel locks as a successful technique for use by their department. I LEGAL PROBLEMS A. By using their home rule powers, the Village of Palatine passed -a local ordinance granting authority to the police department to IMPOUND A VEHICLE IN PLACE.- -'This permits the police department to use the vehicle wheel lock device, and eliminates many of the problems involved in the towing of the vehicle; however, the police department is also provided the option of towing the vehicle depending on the circumstances. For example, using vehicle wheel locks in commuter lots and downtown parking areas which are usually public property avoids certain legal problems that may arise in'using this device in the parking lots of apartment complexes which are to some extent private property. 11 1. At the present time, there is no legal authority that permits impounding of a vehicle in place. lr L 2. The above is applicable to the towing of a vehic-Le for multiple parking violations, both need some basis of authority, which is the reason for a municipal ordinance. 3. The Palatine Ordinance apparently permits several alternatives legally after a vehicle wheel lock device has been applied. a. The individual can pay the overdue citations. b.- Post a cash 'bond in the amount indicated on the impoundment authorization (special form used by Palatine Police Department). c. Execute a personal recognizance bond (release on signature - no cash bond, reiease the vehicle, and schedule all tickets for court.' 4. The Palatine Police Department is apparently using a summons and an arrest warrant. in both instances, a *court appearance is required. -InAmstances where an arrest warrant is used, the individual cannot pay the overdue citations but must appear in court. In the case of a summons pre -payment prior to court is allowed. 5. Palatine Police Department has found that it is more feasible to tow vehicles which have multiple parking tickets if the vehicle is located in a semi -private parking lot,, i.e., apart- ment complexes and so forth. 6. While Palatine P.D. does use the summons method, their recommendation is to obtain a warrant for the individual, since by using a warrant, the *Individual can be entered into the LEADS computer system, and the possibility of apprehension is greater. IV. PRESENT MOUNT PROSPECT PARKING TICKET PROCEDURES A. The vehicle is cited -with the hang -on P -Ticket. B. The vehicle owner has ten (10) days to pay the P -Ticket fine. C. A Computer run is made for all tickets which have not been paid and a delinquent notice is mailed to the address of record of the registered owner of the vehicle. D. If the delinquent notice is not acted upon (fine paid) a second computer run is made again requesting those tickets which have not been paid. This produces the 11 -sting for court assignment. E. A notice is sent to the registered owner of the court date and time. F. When the P -Ticket is brought before the court two alternatives are used by the department. 1 - On multiple offenders a warrant is issued for court appearance. 2 Single parking tickets, the court takes judgement in the amount of $100-00. A court judgement places a civil lien against the individuals credit rating which cannot be lifted until settlement is made. G. Upon return of the court disposition,. a notice is sent to the individual that Judgement has been entered by the court. In those instances where a warrant has been issued, an attempt is made to arrest the person named in the warrant. H. The registered owner of the vehicle has to contact the Niles Court Clerks office to settle tine judgement, and the Village is -reimbursed -for any settled judgements. V. COMPLIANCE RATE A. At the present time, the compliance rate for citations paid on first violations' and after the delinquent notice has been sent is approximately 60 to 65 percent. B. The compliance rate for those appearing in court is very small since usually if the delinquent notice has no effect, the court notification is ignored. Usually those that do appear in court are contesting the validity of the ticket. C. The number of judgements which are paid is unknown, since the court clerk does not notify us directly when. a judgement has been paid. VI. NON -PAID PROBLEM AREAS A. The two areas where the greatest number of P --Ticket citations are written are: 1. All night parking 2. Failure to display Village vehicle license B. Multiple violators are usually in the following areas: 1. Failure to display Village vehicle license 2. Parking in commuter lots or downtown areas C. Reference the above, the All Night Parking violators are visitors to the area and usually are not multiple violators. VII. CHANGES NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT VEHICLE WHEEL LOCKS A. The computer program has to be updated. It is only recently that multiple offenders are being listed together by license number. A 3 ................. . . . ............ . NY spy B. �, resent computer system does not have the cap y to s`edreh all the P -Ticket data bases to ascertain the multiple violators. For example, based on the dates of the computer run, the issuance of the ticket and the court date assigned, one individual could have a ticket in each one of these stages, but would not be flagged as a multiple violator. C. For statistical purposes, the computer data base and output reports need to be changed. D. Administratively, the need is for.- 1. or:1. A municipal ordinance to use the vehicle wheel locks 2. Appropriate procedures within the police department for the procedures to be used in applying vheicle wheel locks. 3.. ,Assignment of personnel to physically apply the vehicle wheel locks. 4. Updated programming of computer program in order to identify multiple offenders. 4 -- Village of Mount Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois rn(jl TO: T RRANCE L. BURGHAPn2 VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: RONALD W. PADLOCK, CHIEF OF POLICE SUBJECT: COMPUTERIZED PARKING TICKET PROGRAM DATE: DECEMBER 7, 1983 The parking ticket -computer program has, been-, rev.ised and updated to the point where multiple parking ticket offenders can be identified and Tocated-.- - When resources are availab-le_-further modifications should be made to the overall parking ticket program. However, the present program is adequate.for the police department. Two print-outs indicating multiple offenders are attached for your review. The department has instituted a program whereby the administrative auxiliary service officer makes phone contact with a multiple offender and attempts to settle the parking tickets before proceeding to court. I would like to express my appreciation to Mr. Dave Jepson and Mr. Fred Jay for their efforts in updating and modifying the computerized' parking ticket program. cc: Mr. Dave Jepson RWP:jh E ,,, •. !!. •R if ii: lie , - • ������� � ° i _ i i i. e€ _€ _• i. as , ,.i, ... ,•. ••. a.. _ ------------- _. -- --___..-_ .

BURGHARD, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: RONALD W. PAVLOCK, CHIEF OF POLICE 1 � �� 3 /S3 SUBJECT.- SOLICITORS DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 1983 In reply to your memorandum of October 3. 1983, the following responses are made to the questions you indicated are to be answered by the Police Department. The -full -documentation as -to -the ordinances of other. municipalities, reference the regulation of solicitors, will be forwarded under separate cover in my request to have several new ordinances presented to the Committee of the Whole meeting on - December 13, 1983 for review and discussion. 1. What specifically do our local ordinances say in covering ng solicitors? a. The local ordinances in regard to solicitors and vendors are found in basically 3 sections of the Municipal Code, (23:1501, Tag Day), (11:2801, Vendors and Solicitors),. and (23:303, Trespassing Ordinance)* b. Basically the same language is involved in the Trespassing Ordinance (miscellaneous offenses) as is contained in the Solicitors Ordinance (business code), c. In effect, there is a crossover between these two codes as well as the Tag 'Day Ordinance, all attempting to place some controls over who can solicit and sell within the Village. This leads to confusion as to enforcement and a lack of unity as to which code is applicable. Apparently soliciting is seen as a miscellaneous offense (trespassing) and at the same time as a violation of the business code. 2. What are the discrepancies and -,definitions between solicitors, vendors, peddlers and temporary vendors? a. Vendors and solicitors are contained under the same code - 'l however, the differentiation is that vendors need to obtain a business license while solicitors need only to be registered, (11:2804). 2M November 1, 1 v6 Page -2- b. What has apparently occurred.is that vendors and solicitors are treated in -the ordinance in the same manner. A vendor is doing business, selling something for money which is changing hands at the time of the transaction and merchandise is received in turn. While a solicitor may sign an individual up to purchase an article and.money may exchange, the merchandise is received at a later date. However,,,in many solicitors' schemes money does not exchange.hands but a commitment.to pay in the future is signed. 3. What does federal law permit , us to regulate and what does it not permit us to regulate? a. Federal law permits home rule powers to make reasonable ordinances for the regulation of solicitors. The relevant research..has been done. by Mr. Richard Williamss. Village Attorney for Hoffman- Estates.: .It shoul.d.be noted,in the. Village of Hoffman Estates ordinance they do,not set out the registration requ-irements,...but.-indicate that solicitors must comply with the regi strati on regulations,of,the Police Department. This is due to Hoffman,Estates having an ordinance similar to the State .of Illinois as to,, the'- admi ni strati ve practices which permit the department affected to devise reasonable regulations for enforcement of the ordinance. 4. How are citizen complaints handled at the.presenttime? a. When a complaint .is received .by Central.Dispatchas to solicitors a patrol unit is sent. to respond. The level of enforcement depends on several factors, but alternatives are as follows: 1. If the citizen is willing to sign a complaint and the solicitor is.registered, .and the .,premises are signed "No Sol icitors. %. an arrest can be effected .for 'trespassing. 2. If the solicitor is not registered, they are advised to follow the registration procedures. 3. If the citizen is unwilling to sign a complaint and no on -view violation is observed by the officer, no arrest can be made. 4. If the premises are not. posted for "No Solicitors" and the complainant.indicates they.did not advise the individual . to. leave.the premises, there is.no basis for a criminal complaint.-of.,trespass.to. ,property under the State Revi sed .Statutes. 5. If the complaint is not made to Central Dispatch, unless the individual within the Village makes contact with Central Dispatch, a patrol unit will not respond. November 1, 1983 Page -3- In this r * egard it appears.that,the communication,between the Village Clerk's office and the Police Department could be improved. 6. In -less than clear-cut situations where enforcement action can be taken, verbal warnings are usually given to solicitors. 5. Identify the companies. which have caused the most significant problems within the .Village? a. This information-can.best,be-obtained from the 'Vi llage. Clerk' s office which has a more extensive file .in - relation 'to. solicitors. 6.Review the ordinances of communities that have made recent progress in refining their solicitors regulations. a. In discussing this matter with Mr. Williams, Village Attorney for Hoffman 'Estates, ,-he indicates-that,while the Hoffman Estates— Ordinance on soliciting has not been brought to court or appealed, there was extensive correspondence relative to the ordinance with the Jehova Witnesses and their attorney for failure to,register. The attorneys who appealed the Schaumburg Solicitors Ordinance have corresponded with Mr. Williams and indicated it is their.opinion the Hoffman Estates Ordinance is. constitutional. I b. A copy of the Hoffman Estates Ordinance is included in the materials .which are being forwarded.to...the Village Attorney, Mr. Newman, for review be forwarded to under a separate cover. 7. Recommend to. my office appropriate mea sures .and ordinances as well as administrative procedures for enforcing said ordinances. a. That an ordinance similar ,to,Hoffman Estates be adopted, with the Clerk'.s office , fol lowl .ng.a regi strati on. procedure like Hoffman Estates. b. Thatthe Trespassing Ordinance as it pertains to solicitors b , e deleted and only registrat-ion-be-requl*red.under the business code of the Village Ordinances. c. That the regulations for registration and similar procedures be deleted, from the new ordinance, i.e., name and address of the organization, description of the type of soliciting and d ,, fingerprlinti,ng requirement. These should fall under the regulation Procedures of the Village Clerk rather than be specified in the ordinance. d. That effective communication channels be established between the Police Department and the Clerk's office as to solicitor complaints. M", November I , 1983 Page -4- In summary, while the Village of Mount Prospect .can place .reasonable regulations as to the registration of.solicitors, the Village cannot necessarily refuse permission to solicit. At present, there are too many ordinances attempting to.regulate solicitors. There should be only one ordinance for -all- types of sari citing, including charitable soliciting.
