LEVEE 37
RES 46-07
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) of an ordinance to amend Chapter 18
(Traffic) of the Village Code. This ordinance prohibits parking at all times along the
north side of Milburn Avenue and limits parking to two (2) hours along the south
side of Milburn Avenue.
Project Engineer Matt Lawrie provided background information on the proposed
amendment to the Village's Traffic Code. Mr. Lawrie stated that for several years
on-street parking along Milburn Avenue between I-Oka Avenue and Hi Lusi
Avenue has been problematic. With vehicles parked on both sides of Milburn
Avenue throughout the day, two-way traffic cannot be safely maintained.
Mr. Lawrie stated study of the parking situation included a neighborhood survey
and discussion at the December 10, 2007 Safety Commission meeting. He stated
the Safety Commission recommended by a 8-0 vote to approve the proposed
amendments to the parking regulations on Milburn Avenue.
Mr. Don Sahagian, 400 West Milburn Avenue, commented on the proposed
changes and suggested parking on Milburn Avenue between I-Oka and Hi Lusi be
changed to no parking Monday - Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on both
sides of the street. Mr. Sahagian stated this proposal was less drastic and would
allow for guest parking after 5:00 p.m on the north side of Milburn Avenue.
Mr. Lawrie stated the proposed parking restrictions would allow for parking on the
south side of Milburn Avenue at two (2) hour intervals rather than a total prohibition
between 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
The Village Board discussed the proposed parking regulations noting the amended
ordinance would allow for two (2) hour parking on the south side of the street
between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Mayor Wilks stated the ordinance would be held for a second (2nd) reading at the
January 15, 2008 Village Board meeting.
Mayor Wilks presented for approval a Resolution for the Levee 37
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Village of Mount Prospect and
the City of Prospect Heights (local co-sponsors of the project).
Village Manager Michael Janonis provided background information on the Levee
37 project that will alleviate flooding along the upper Des Plaines River. The IGA
will expedite completion of co-sponsor tasks related to the project. The IGA was
reviewed by the Village Attorney, and Village Manager Janonis recommended
approval of the IGA with the City of Prospect Heights.
In response to a question regarding the revisions to the agreement, Village
Manager Janonis stated the IGA approved by the City of Prospect Heights included
the final revisions to the agreement.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved for approval of
Resolution No. 46-07:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN

Village Manager Janonis presented for Village Board approval a request to accept
proposal from Haeger Engineering for Levee 37 Plat of Easement and Tree
Inventory.
To move forward with construction of Levee 37 the Village, as the lead municipality
under the IGA, must obtain all land rights for the project. As part of this process
the Village needs survey points staked for the easement boundaries for both
temporary and permanent easements; an easement plat with legal descriptions of
the easements is also required. The Levee 37 project also includes purchase of
land from the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County. The land will be
donated to the Forest Preserve District to mitigate the land rights necessary for
construction of the Levee. As part of the mitigation process a tree inventory of that
land is necessary.
Project scheduling for the Levee necessitates the plat of easement and tree
inventory be completed as soon as possible. Staff recommend the proposal
submitted by Haeger Engineering for Easement Staking and Tree Inventory
services be accepted in an amount not to exceed $62,305.
Trustee ladel, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved for approval to accept
