REVIEW OF INTERIOR APLkRTMENT INSPECTION PR IG M Community Development: Director William Cooney provided a general overview and history leading up to the draft presented to the Village Board this evening. He stated the general intent of the draft Ordinance is to achieve the four goals which are listed as follows: 1) To address the severity and number of violations occurring in the Interior of apartments, 2 to ensure that inspections would not necessarily impose on an individuarsI rights; ) to create an inspection process that is manageable by all parties involved such as owners, management and Village staff and 4) to direct Village resources to the most serious problems. 1 a Mayor Farley asked whether there has been legal challenges to an Ordinance which requires interior inspections and whether there are ;specific notice procedures which have been mandated for interior inspections. Village Attorney Everette Hill noted that there has been no challenge to date which has been sustained but there may be some cases currently under litigation which may address this issue. He stated that generally it is not appropriate to target a specific group; and an Ordinance must deal with all people equally in terms of interior inspections. Environmental Health Coordinator Bob Rook provided a ;general overview of the components of the Ordinance relative to notice of inspection. He stated that during the first year staff will be focusing on education. He stated the Village will provide a 30 day advance notice to owners; thereby, the owner then provides the notice to the tenants. If both the landlord and tenant refuse, then the Village has the opportunity to obtain an Administrative Warrant. Tenants will get a minimum of 72 hours' notice by the owner in addition to a rider placed on the lease outlining the interior inspection program. The goal is to review or inspect all units throughout the Village in five, -year cycles. General comments by the Village Board included the following items: A discussion as to how the Ad Hoc Committee would be structured and what their purpose would be took place. The Board also ,inquired as to the education components which will be utilized to inform residents of the program. There was also some discussion as to ensuring that uniform inspections occur and it was requested that landlords also be provided the opportunity to participate in the Inspection procedure of each unit. Board members were provided a general overview, of the licensing procedures for rental units. There was a request to remove the verbiage which refers to other structures in Section 23.1813 A) 4). There was also a request to change the Ordinance so it would apply to two units or more instead of three units or more. It was also suggested that a notice be posted in the units or in common areas for all tenants and perspective tenants to see that the interiors have been inspected by the Village. There was also a discussion concerning how the incentive program was structured. A suggestion was made to strike' the Section of the Ordinance that relates to the financial means to keep up units or to clarify the 'language because financial means might not be the only reason that units deteriorate. Some Board members requested a review of the warning conditions as outlined in the Ordinance as minor violations. 3 A concern was also raised as to why the inspection program did not include single- family homes. Another concern was also raised as to why 20% of the units were picked as the percentage which should be inspected. A concern was also raised as to possible Fourth Amendment violations and the use of probable cause for inspections. Community Development Director Bill Cooney responded to a number of the comments of the Village Board members., He stated that the Ad Hoc Committee would consist of five owners with staff representation and meet semi-annually to offer suggestions for improvement of the Ordinance and would expect this Committee to meet six months after the adoption of the Ordinance. Environmental Health Coordinator Bob Roels responded to a number of the comments of the Village Board members. He stated that the warning conditions listed would be considered somewhat subjective but he would hope that the staff could look at input from the owners to help define these items more clearly if necessary. He stated that there is a standardized inspection procedure which is performed regularly to ensure that Inspectors are consistent in their inspections. He stated the Village has the option of going to Court to obtain an Administrative Warrant in order to get inside a unit When the tenant or owner or both are uncooperative. He stated that an enforcement fee would be billed to the owner for outstanding violations and the Village would have the option of revoking the license if necessary. If the violations remain for a period of time the license may not be renewed at license renewal time. However, staff sometimes waives the enforcement fees in order to encourage owners to put possible enforcement fees which may be levied by the Village into the building to bring it up to Code. These kinds of agreements are made in order to ,encourage cooperation and to improve the quality of the building. He also stated that the 20% figure was arrived at in order to achieve review within five years and to make the incentive program worthwhile. Bob Roels stated that he would review the documents to ensure that there was no confusion as to possible violations transferring to new owners. At time of sale, whether such transfers would be limited t ' o a unit -by -unit basis or to the owner of the building Itself would be reviewed by staff. Jack ftrdnger, 15111 North River WeA- spoke.owpptad to 1114nk the Board for their expenditures to correct thoflobding, in the, area, However, he did want to speak regarding the, Ordinance under consideration. H4, stated he did not feel the Ordinance was necessary and feels that the current inspection program is strong enough to address concerns which have been highlighted by staff to the Board. I He stated that inspection of occupied units without probable cause is a violation' of Constitutional rights and feels t ' hat such an inspection procedure would drive residents out of town. He felt that such an inspection of interiors of dwelling units should not be limited to multi -family only. This program should also include single- family residences. He also stated that he would undertake'a legal challenge if the Ordinance is adopted. Ralph Ketree, 940 East Northwest Highway, spoke. He stated that the Village currently inspects common areas and performs fire inspections of various dwelling units. He stated that he recently received a notice of 15 items on a citation and feels that it is a burden to comply with these Items which had been cited. He said the taxes kept him from selling the building and feels the inspection program is stringent enough as it is. Bob Warren, 921 South Owen, spoke. He is speaking for a. landlord who is unable to speak. He felt there should be rules implemented by Mount Prospect to focus less on landlords and make tenants responsible for much of the damage which is caused to residential units. He also stated the Village should make up any loss that tenants would be held responsible for regarding damage to the rented units. Lillian Perham, 501 West Dempster, spoke. She stated that the owners that are not concerned do not take the time to show up to these meetings. She stated that focusing efforts on bad areas which are near good areas should also protect property values of owners who put forth the effort to keep the buildings up. She stated that conversations she has had with tenants have highlighted their concerns about inspecting bedrooms and bathrooms. She also felt that there is a need to ensure that Inspectors are consistent in terms of their identification of Violations. She also stated that tenants fear eviction if they complain to their landlords. They need education as to proper procedures to rectify problem areas. She concluded her comments by stating that the Courts have been very uncooperative with the Village when violations are brought forth for resolution. John Cabanski, 1000 Pendleton, spoke. He has a problem with the items listed as minor Violations within the Ordinance, He stated that he would challenge the Village to go to a single-family home which does not have many of the minor items listed. He is concerned that multi -family homes may be held to a different standard. He stated the Village knows where the problems are and should focus their efforts there. He also stated that the Village should include units of two -flats and above; not three units and above. 5 a V. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT Village Manager Janonis stated that Coffee with Council is scheduled for the Village Hall from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 13 and from 10:30 a.m. until 12:00 noon at the RecPlex.This is the first floating Coffee with Council. It is hoped that subsequent' meetings will be held in various areas of the community on a quarterly basis. VI. ANY OTHER BUSINESS Trustee Hoefertwanted to thank the Special Events Commission and Public Works for the outstanding 4th of July Parade and the two sets of fireworks. Mayor Farley requested the Closed Session be deferred due to the absence of two Trustees. Trustee Hoefert made a Motion to move into Closed Session for Property Acquisition.

Village Board members moved into Closed Session to discuss Property Acquisition at 9:35 p.m. VII. ADJOURNMENT The Committee of the Whole meeting reconvened at 10:04 p.m. There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 10:05 pm. Respectfully submitted, DAVID STRAHL DS/rcc Assistant Village Manager VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECTalm FINANCE DEPARTMENT INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS FROM: DIRECTOR OF FINANCE DATE: JULY 18, 1996 SUBJECT: 1996 MID -YEAR FINANCIAL REVIEW AND 1997 FINANCIAL FORECAST Before the Village staff begins work on the 1997 budget, it would be useful to examine how we are doing financially at the mid -point of 1996 and how trends and contemplated changes in our programs may impact upon the originally forecasted 1997 budget. It would also be helpful to review our debt position as we consider new flood control projects and the expansion of our street reconstruction program. Most important is the financial condition of the General Fund. I would like to review our estimated 1996 condition of the General Fund and update the fund's 1997 forecast. Then, I will briefly describe the 1996 condition of all the governmental funds with emphasis on their estimated year-end fund balances. I will also discuss our capacity to incur debt in the future in order to fund capital projects. Finally, I will highlight some initiatives which the Village staff has been discussing in anticipation of the 1997 budget process. General Find - 1996 Schedule 1, which is attached, is a summarized statement of estimated 1996 revenues and expenditures in the General Fund. The schedule reveals that we are on track to have a very good year. Overall, revenues are expected to be at or above the budgeted amount in all cases. Based upon the actual experience of the first five months of the year, I anticipate that Sales Tax revenues will be very close to original projections. Revenues from Licenses, Permits, & Fees will likely be about $225,000 (or 10%) over budget due mostly to permits and fees related to the expansion of the U.S. Robotics facility. As reflected under Intergovernmental Revenue, we are also being greatly helped by higher than expected state income tax receipts. General Fund expenditures are expected to be within budget. The only exception to this relates to legal costs which are recorded in a program of the Village Manager's Office. It is now estimated that the Village will incur $70,000,in legal costs which were unanticipated in the 1996 budget. Because of our favorable revenue experience to date, I believe that it will not be necessary to deposit the 25% of the second J/4% of Home Rule Sales Tax into the General Fund as originally planned. The Home Rule Sales Tax revenue of $300,000 budgeted in the General Fund was provided to allow a cushion in case other revenues did not perform as well as anticipated. Because that cushion will not be necessary, I recommend that, the monies be deposited in the Capital Improvement Fund. That fund has been used to make various capital improvements in the Village and to purchase certain large equipment items. General Fund - 1997 Forecast Attached as Schedule 2 is an updated, summarized 1997 General Fund forecast budget. Most of the changes from the original forecast relate to revenues. Although the forecast for property taxes has not changed, the 5.6% increase over the 1996 budget amount merits explanation. As you know, our property tax levy consists of the following components: Debt Service Police and Firefighters' Pension Contributions Garbage Collection Corporate Purposes The components of the levy for pension contributions and corporate purposes are recorded as revenue in the General Fund. After receiving the property tax revenue, the General Fund makes the Village contribution to the pension funds. As -you recall, a few years ago the Police Pension Fund and Firefighters' Pension Fund were both funded at significantly more than 100%. That situation arose, in large part, because of unusually high investment earnings. The Village then decided to reduce its contributions to the pension funds and allow the funds to move back to the 100% level. This was accomplished in the fiscal year which ended April 30, 1993. Since that time, the Village has been phasing in increased contributions so as to maintain the funds at the 100% funding level. The increased contributions will result in a 14.4% increase in our levy for the pension funds in 1997. This obviously impacts upon the overall General Fund tax levy. Without the pension component, the General Fund tax levy would increase in 1997 by only about 4%. Our objective remains that the overall Village levy, including the components for debt service and garbage collection, increase no more than 4%. Fines and Forfeits in the General Fund were forecasted based upon a trend analysis which considered 1996 estimated actual revenues. As discussed above, actual 1996 Fines and Forfeits are expected to surpass the amount budgeted by a large margin. Based upon the trend, we can expect revenues from Fines and Forfeits to be $535,000 in 1997, or $87,000 higher than the amount budgeted in 1996. The notes which follow Schedule 2 provide information about other classifications of revenue which may be of interest to you. With regard to expenditures, only two changes have been made to the,original 1997 forecast. First, the Police Department intends to request funding for an additional Community Service Officer. Second, the Human Services Department will be requesting support for an expansion of its Social Work Intern Program. The only other notable issue impacting upon expenditures relates to the Community Development Department. The original forecast budget provided for an Environmental Health Inspector to be added in 1997. That new position was actually added in 1996 and is reflected in Schedule 2. Even with these program changes, it appears at the outset that we will be able to balance the 1997 General Fund budget and limit the overall property tax increase to 4%. The Governmental Funds and Their Fund Balances Schedule 3 reflects estimated 1996 revenues and expenditures in all the governmental funds together with the resultant fund balances. Mr. Jepson provided you with a schedule similar to Schedule 3 about two months ago. The General Fund's fund balance will probably be 19% of expenditures at the end of 1996. Although our current goal is to maintain a fund balance in the General. Fund of at least 15%, I believe we should consider recommending to the Village Board that the fund balance be permitted to grow further to 25% of expenditures. Doing so would strengthen our case with the bond rating agencies for an upgrade in our bond rating. A higher bond rating would decrease our borrowing costs. While not a formal requirement for a higher bond rating, a 25% fund balance is a widely recognized measure of the capacity to withstand serious, adverse dips in the economy. There is nothing significant to report concerning the Special Revenue Funds. The same is true with respect to the Debt Service Funds in 1996. Debt capacity and the role of fund balances in the Debt Service Funds will be discussed in some detail below. In two instances, actual expenditures in the Capital Projects Funds will be appreciably different from the 1996 budgeted amounts. In both cases, actual expenditures will be under budget because projects were deferred. In the Capital Improvement Fund, the $1,000,000 budgeted for Village Hall improvement will not be spent. Also, in the Flood Control Construction Fund, the See Gwun/Milburn project was postponed until 1998 because bids came in substantially over budget estimates. The 1996 budget provided $1,109,000 for this flood control project. These two deferrals account for the large fund balances in the Capital Improvement Fund and the Flood Control Construction Fund. Debt Capacity In recent years the Village has issued a significant amount of debt to finance various capital projects. The Village's current debt service requirements are reflected Schedules 4 through 8 which are attached. Schedule 6 (Flood Control Projects) reflects debt service covered by the first 1/4¢ of our home rule sales tax ("first 1/4¢"). In this schedule, I have assumed than we will issue an additional $1.5 million of debt in both 1998 and 2001 for flood control project's. Those issues would consume the remainder of the debt service capacity of the first 1/4¢ until 2006. We will pay off the 1993B issue in 2005. Thus, in 2006 some of the first 1/4¢ will be available to service additional debt for flood control projects. Schedule 7 (Street and Capital Improvement Projects) presents debt service funded by 75% of the second 1/4¢ of our home rule sales tax ("second 1/4¢"). Here I have included the effects of two new $2.5 million bond issues, one in 1997 and one in 2001. These issues would permit us to continue our street reconstruction program. The 1997 and 2001 issues for street reconstruction would consume the remaining debt service capacity of the second 1/4¢. In 2004, we will complete the debt service on the 1994A issue. After allowing the uncommitted portion of the second 1/4¢ to replenish the expectedly low fund balances of debt service funds during 2005 (consistent with our past practice of maintaining minimum fund balances in the debt service funds as described below), we could then issue new debt in 2006 for street projects. Projected actual and target fund balances for the debt service funds are reflected at the bottom of Schedules 4 through 8. For the debt service funds supported by property taxes, the Village has followed the practice of sustaining fund balances of an amount equal to the next interest payment. For debt service funds supported by revenue sources other than property taxes, we have maintained fund balances at the equivalent of 50% of the next year's principal and interest requirements. These practices are well advised. Recent experience with Cook County has shown that we cannot count on receiving our property tax revenues on time. With regard to non - property tax revenues which vacillate with the economy, it is prudent to provide a reserve which may be drawn upon if the economy declines. As we consider issuing new debt, it is important to know how Mount Prospect compares with other municipalities in terms of debt burden. According to Moody's Investors Service, median general obligation per capita debt for U.S. cities within the 50,000 to 99,999 population range was $677 as of December 1995. As of December 31, 1995, Mount Prospect's general obligation debt per capita was $378. Since that time, we issued $3,150,000 of general obligation bonds. This brings our per capita debt to approximately $440. Obviously, we compare very favorably with cities of similar size across the country. A broader measure of the debt burden upon a community, however, is overlapping debt. The concept of overlapping debt is a tool used to gauge debt burden as imposed by all taxing bodies overlapping a community. As of December 31, 1995, median overlapping debt for U.S. cities between 50,000 and 99,999 in population was $1,270. Mount Prospect's overlapping debt was $1,807 as of the end of 1995. Thus, Mount Prospect residents are feeling a comparatively large debt burden imposed by other taxing districts. Initiatives Under Consideration for 1997 Briefly, I would like to outline some of the initiatives the staff has been discussing in preparation for the 1997 budget process. 1. Acceleration of the Street Reconstruction Program. As alluded to above, a bond issue of $2.5 million is planned for 1997 in order to accelerate the street reconstruction program. 2. Creation of a Computer Replacement Fund. This fund would be used to fund the replacement of our computer hardware and software systems in a manner similar to our Vehicle Replacement Fund. 3. Separate Line Items in the Budget for Carryovers. Carryovers are projects which, for any number of reasons, could not be completed in a prior year. The concept suggests that budgets be presented with a subtotal "net of carryovers." Such a presentation would enable a more balanced evaluation of budget requests. At present, new projects and carryovers are sometimes budgeted in the same line items. Separating the two will make it less likely that new initiatives will be crowded out by carryovers. 4. Merit Pay Pool. In general, the present Village compensation program provides only for cost -of -living increases. When raises are given, no distinction can be made to reward one employee who performs better than another. A merit pay pool would give the Village Manager and/or department heads the ability to recognize superior performance. 5. Management Training. This would be an extension of the training scheduled for this year. Next year's training would focus on team building. 6. Expansion of the Social Work Intern Program. This initiative was mentioned above under the discussion of the 1997 forecast budget. In the attached memorandum, Nancy Morgan provides more information on the proposed expansion of this program. I look forward to working with you on the Village's 1997 budget. Should you have any questions about the information presented above, please let me know. BRIAN W.

The opposite is true for expenditures. 6 General Fund 1996 Revenues and Fxpenditures Nates A - Sales Tax. After five months, sales tax receipts are very close to original projections. B - Home Rule Sales Tax. Because receipts from Licenses, Permits, & Fees as well as Intergovernmental Revenue will likely exceed projections, it will not be necessary to deposit the Home Rule Sales Tax revenue (25% of second 1/4¢) into the General Fund. Recommend that these monies be deposited into the Capital Improvement Fund. C - Other Taxes. Most of the positive variance can be attributed to better than expected utility tax collections. D - Licenses, Permits, & Fees. Almost all of the positive variance is due to permits and fees paid by U.S. Robotics associated with the expansion of their facility. E - Intergovernmental Revenue. State income tax revenues are on track to exceed our original projection by $100,000. F - Fines and Forfeits. Greater than expected revenues from both parking fines and circuit court fines are contributing to the positive variance. G - Village Manager's Office Expenditures. Unanticipated expenditures for Special Counsel and the Prosecutor are the reason for the negative budget variance.

Forecasted revenues include amounts levied for the corporate purposes, as well as for the Police Pension Fund and Firefighters' Pension Fund. The amounts for pensions are ultimately paid to the pension funds as Village contributions. The 1997 forecast calls for an increase in the Village's contributions of 14.4% over 1996 amounts. This reflects the phase-in of increased payments so as to fully fund the actuarially recommended contributions. (In prior years, the Village reduced its contributions because the funds were more than 100% funded.) The result is a 6.2% increase in the aggregate General Fund tax levy. However, the overall Village tax levy (including the levy for garbage collection and debt service) will be held to 41/a B - Sales Tax. Sales tax revenue is projected to increase by 1% in 1997. C - Other Taxes. This classification includes utility taxes which are projected to increase 4 to 5% over 1996 estimated actual revenues. D - Fines and Forfeits. The 1997 forecast is based upon a trend analysis which considered 1996 estimated actual revenues. Actual revenues for 1996, which include parking fines and circuit court fines, are estimated to be significantly greater than the budgeted amount. E - Other Revenue. The decrease in Other Revenue forecasted for 1997 compared to the 1996 budgeted amount is due primarily to the reduced receipts from flood loan repayments.

MINUTE`' BUSINESS DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION Wednesday, June 26, 1996 CALL 10 -* The regular meeting of the Mount Prospect Business District Development and Redevelopment Commission (BDDRC) was called to order by Acting Chairman Joseph Janisch at 7:30 P.M. on Wednesday June 26, 1996 in the Second Floor, Conference Room of Village Hall, 100 S. Emerson St.,Mount Prospect, Illinois. go-LL Members oUlie Commission present. Keith Youngquist, Ralph Stadler, Calvin Huber, Joseph Janisch. Members absent: Hal Predovich, Bart Keljik and John Eilering. Also present was Daniel Ungerle der, Planning Coordinator. Mr. Huber asked that he be given the opportunity to clarify his statement found in the May 22, 1996 minutes: "Mr. Hubert stated he believes that the downtown is "okay" as it exists today." Mr. Huber explained that as it relates to the preliminary downtown redevelopment plans presented by staff, he does not feel that we should be tough on the existing businesses, such as, Continental Bakery and Fannie May until the plans for that area had been finalized and other parcels have been acquired. Mr. Huber further explained that he believes that the Village would be in a better position to oppose Northwest Electric expansion plans if the Village had already acquired the parcels north of their property. In conclusion., he stated that the present downtown has much potential and by making it more attractive and convenient for the shoppers and the general public, economic benefits should occur to the community. Mr. Ralph Stadler asked that the sentence: "Mr. Stadler questioned the Village's urgency to develop the downtown and stated that he dict not see the potential of the developing of the Village's downtown" be omitted from the minutes. He stated that he did not recall making such a statement and he is in full support of any type of redevelopment program for the downtown and that he believes that the downtown has a' potential of being a vital economic draw for the Village. With those statements and corrections a'motion was moved and seconded for the approval of the minutes of May 22, 1996. The minutes were approved unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: 22 West Busse + Avenue: Mr. Ungerleider explained that given the amount of time that it has taken Mr. Neitzke,to complete Page 3 Village may wish to use the same method they are using -now in its commuter parking lots, i.e. stickers,, hangtags or either means, Mr. Huber expressed that he thought combining the Senior Center with Village Hall would be beneficial for the downtown. Ralph Stadler asked if Prospect Avenue businesses and Central Plaza were included in the downtown redevelopment plans. Mr. Ungerleider stated that neither areas are located within the TIF District and therefore are not being addressed as part of this initial plan. Keith "Youngquist expressed that he did not feel that the Police and Fire Building was an important facility to be located within the downtown. However, he stated that Village Hall does provide a cultural benefit and regional draw and should, therefore, remain. downtown. Mr. Stadler stated that condominium development is essential for this plan to be successful. Without providing additional residential development in the downtown, there will not be sufficient customer base to support any commercial development. Keith Youngquist stated that he felt it was important that B.D.D.R.C. meet before the upcoming ad hoc meetings of the Boards and Commissions. Mr. Ungerleider agreed to contact all the B.D.D R.C. members' f a special meeting was to be required. The meeting was adjourned at 8.40 p.m. Re° l y submitted, Daniel Unerleidez Planning Coordinator s, MAYOR GERALD L, FARLEY TRUSTEES GEORGE X CLOWES TIMOTHY J, CORCORAN RICHARD R, HENDRICKS PAUL WM, HOEFERT 'Village of Mount Prospect MICHAELE W, SKOWRON FAVANA K , WILKS NEW VILLAGE MANAGER 100 South Emerson Street Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 AREA CODE MICHAEL E, JANONIS 847 VILLAGE CLERK CAROL A, FIELDS A!GEN D A Phone: 708 / 392-6000 (Prepared July 11, 1996) Fax: 708 / 392-6022 TDD: 708 / 392-6064 ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Mount Prospect Senior Center 50 South Emerson Street 730 P.M.

No Stopping, Standing, Parking between 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. on SchoolDays on the South Side of Isabella St from Fairview Ave to Oak St & on the West Side of Forest Ave from Isabella St to 208'N. Forest Ave a) Background Information The Engineering Staff sent out surveys to 14 residents concerning the, above parking restriction. Of the 9 surveys returned, only 1was against this restriction, 8 were In favor (3 out of the 8 approved resident parking only. Currently, the Village does not have a resident only parking restriction on public streets) Because the majority of the residents approved the above parking restriction, the Engineering Staffdid recommend the above restrictions. b) Discussion Fairview School also requested the parking restriction on the south side of Isabella St from Fairview Ave to Oak St & on the west side of Forest Ave from Isabella St to 208 N. Forest Ave during school hours because 1) it is difficult to maneuver around parked cars if cars care parked on both sides of Isabella St and Forest Ave, 2) Fairview School does not want parents to drop off their children and then have them cross the street, 3) sometimes drivers double park their cars on Isabella St and Forest Ave, and 4) not enough room is left for emergency vehicles due to double parking and parking on both sides of streets. Several residents on Isabella St and Forest Ave stated the following: • Parents drop off their children on the north side of Isabella St between the drop off entrance and exit driveways. These children have to walk between cars in the drop off area. Additional parking restrictions may be needed on the north side of Isabella St between the drop off driveways. • Some drivers park their cars in front of fire hydrants and driveways. Many drivers are using resident's driveways as turn arounds. • Some residents have only,a one car garage but the families have several cars. Therefore, if parking is restricted, they can not park in front of their houses. • Former School Superintendent Dr. Many promised that there would be no congestion on Isabella St and Forest Ave, Residents wanted to know why they are experiencing these problems. • Due to congestion, some resident wanted the parking restriction expanded to both sides of Forest Ave from Isabella St to Thayer St, not just the west side of Forest Ave' • One resident suggested resident only parking on Forest Ave (Sean Dorsey said that the Village does not have a resident only parking area because it is difficult to enforce). 3 the south side of Isabella St from Fairview Ave to Oak St, and 3) the north side of Isabella St between drop off driveways. 0 Instead of 3 -way stop signs, a yield sign on Forest Ave will be considered because this Intersection does not meet stop sign warrants. • Sean Won will contact the Fairview School Safety Committee and Fairview School Principal In July/August to,find out the revised Fairview School traffictparking restriction plan. Then Sean Won will arrange a meeting with the residents and Fairview School. After the mutually agreeable parking restriction plan is finalized, he will send out surveys to collect the resident's opinion. B) LIONS SCHOOL a) Background Information Lions School Principal requested the following restrictions because new Lions School is oriented to the east direction Instead of the south directiow In order to get this on this month's agenda, time was limited.
