MINUTES The minutes of the Committee of the Whole meeting of February 13, 1990 were accepted and filed. Ill. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD No one present at the meeting wished to address the Committee of the Whole, IV. 1990-1991 BUDGET HEARING Village Manager John Fulton Dixon gave an overview of the areas of the budget that would be presented. Mr, Dixon stated that the three areas to be covered: Human Services, Inspection Services, and the Police Department, accounted for approximately 14-1/2% of the total budget. The Human Services budget amounts to about 3/4 of 1%, Inspection Services 2.2% and the Police Department represents 11.5% of the budget. Human Services Division The presentation of the Human Services' budget started with a video overview which depicted highlights of Human Services programs. Human Services Administrator Nancy Morgan introduced the Division's proposed 1990-91 budget of $294,320 which is $43,095 higher than the 1989-90 budget of $251,225. In the proposed budget, $217,935 is for personal services and $55,885 is for other services and supplies. An additional $20,500 is budgeted for contribu- tions to social agencies. Under the personal services category, there is a provision for converting the Employment Counselor position from part-time to full-time and the addition of a new part-time social worker position to work primarily with Police Department referrals. During 3vno 1989, Forest Institute disbanded m program which provided counseling services for the Police Department. These services were primarily for short-term counseling for juveniles. The proposed social worker will fill the gap left by Forest Institute. It is expected that the Village will receive reimbursements from Elk Grove Township and Wheeling Township to help offset the salary of the full-time employment counselor. Also, it is expected that an additional $6,000 will be received from reimbursements and donations and $200 from Pace for the Senior Taxi Program. These monies will help to offset program costs. The Human Services Division provides many services to Village residents. In total, 90,137 unite of service were provided to residents last year. It was pointed out that these programa cost taxpayers only $3,46 per capita for the year. Ms. Morgan then reviewed some of the new programa which were insti- tuted during the past year. Included in these are the Intergenerational Program where seniors and children can comm together to develop u more meaningful relationship and KIT[ (Kids In Touch with Emotions), o support group for children of mingle parents. Another now program which was recommended by Trustee Arthur called Medicare Maze will begin March 6, 1990 with mix volunteers to help residents fill out medicare forme and other documents. After the presentation by Me. Morgan, the Mayor and Trustees asked questions and added various comments. Following is o summary of the ensuing discussion: Mayor Farley Should we expect to receive at least a partial reim- bursement for some programs such as the Network )O Program? Nn. Morgan explained that it has been tried in other areas, but the experience has not been positive. She added that the record keeping discouraged potential business clients. In response to another question, mo. Morgan stated that originally most of the placements were for part-time positions but currently about 50% of the placements aro full-time positions, with e growing emphasis on middle management positions. Mayor Farley then asked about the funding for the Network 50 Program. Nancy said that currently the Village is receiving $12°000 froN Elk Grove Township and $5,000 from Wheeling Township. If the program is increased to full-time, the Village will request $15,000 from Elk Grove Township and $12,000 from Wheeling Township. Mayor Farley asked uhm"t an overhaul of the Senior Taxi Program. Ma. Morgan stated that much more staff time is expended in the program than is covered by the reimbursement from Pace. She said they will be thoroughly reviewing the entire program in March. Trustee Wattenberg Stated that we should take caro of the truly needy and that bi-li^qual programs are not needed and do not work in Mount � . " Trustee Corcoran Corcoran Mount Prospect takes care of its own residents. Trustee Busse Will epart-time social worker be adequate to fill the need left by the elimination of the Forest Institute program? Nancy Morgan said she thought it would work. Trustee Busse then asked if other communities have the same types of programs that are offered in Mount Prospect. Nancy said it varies, but that a number of other municipalities offer many of these programs. Trustee Van Geem How do you communicate with residents in the far South or far North portions of the Village? Na. Morgan responded that there is a regular article in the Village Newsletter, there have been articles in the newspaper, and through word-of-mouth. Village Manager Dixon added that a number of referrals also come from Village employees. Trustee Floroe Do we make e point of addressing the needs of all ages? For example, du we work with the schools? Nancy replied that we work very o/vsmzy with the schools. The nurse and the social workers coordinate their efforts with school personnel. Trustee ploroa then asked about the contributions that are being recommended for social agencies. He stated that he thought an alloca- tion of $30,000 for the Historical Society and only $20,000 for the social agencies was out of balance. He then asked how the recommenda- tions were wade. Mo. Morgan stated that applications were mailed to six agencies but that only five responded and four were recommnded for funding. Trustee Florva stated that he did not agree with the recommen- dation to withhold funding from Omni House. Trustee Wattenberg said he shared Trustee Floroo' comments. Trustee Arthur issued a directive to all departments: the only way to reduce costs is to spend less. He stated he cannot support personnel increases at this time. He stated he did not approve of the proposed personnel increases in the Human Services' budget. Mayor Farley said he nxeced Trustee Floroo' comments regarding Omni House and would like additional information regarding the cecommendations for funding social agencies. - Truaiee Arthur said he would like to fund all programs at the same level as 1989-90. Finance Commission Chairman Richard 8ochhuber stated that the represen- tative of Omni House could not explain some of the provisions of their by-laws and did not explain some of their activities. As a result, the Finance Commission did not recommend funding this agency. The Mayor and all of the Trustees commended the Human Services Division for Inooection Services Deoaztment A video of the Inspection Services Department preceded the presentation of the Inspection Services budget. Director Chuck Benolc presented the 1990-91 budget for the Inspection Services Department. The Inspection Services Department consists of the Building Code Division, Environmental Health Division and the Engineering Division. In the budget, the Building Code Division and the Environmental Health Division are classified as Inspection Services and the Engineering Division as Engineering Services. The Building Code Division is responsible for plan review, issuance of building permits and the inspection of all buildings and structures within the Village. The Division also reviews and issues permits for all remodeling plans, fences, driveways, signs, sheds, decks and other miscellaneous structures, as well as issuing garage sale permits. In 1988, 8,401 inspec- tions were performed and in 1989 that number rose to 9,973. In 1989, 29031 permits were issued with a value of $53,731,873. The Village has adopted the 1984 8O[A National Building Code on the Village's building code. 8OCx revises their codes every three years and the latest revision will occur in 1990. The Building Code Division plans to review the 1990 code and will recommend any changes to the Village Board. The Environmental Health Division is responsible for inspecting all food establishments, swimming pools, daycare centers, health clubs and multi- family residential units. Mr. 8emcio stated there are 169 restaurants and food establishments in the Village and their objective is to inspect each one at least twice -a -year. He stated that the inspection includes a rating system and over the pant year overall ratings have improved by 10%. In regard to the multi -family housing unite, there were a total of 466 inspections and 771 rninenectiono along with 186 service calla and 256 follow-up ce1lm. Overall, the division performed 3,843 inspections during 1989 in addition to service requests for such items as landlord/tenant disputes, solid waste complaints, animal control, and insect/rodent control. The Engineering Division is responsible for the review and inspection of all private site developments and for the design, contract preparation and inspection of Village projects such as street resurfacing and reconstruction, newer and water main replacements, the shared cost and new sidewalk programs, and bridge repair contracts. There were approximately 50 ongoing and new development projects that were reviewed and inspected during 1989. The total proposed budget for 1990/91 is $882,190 compared to $879,985 for 1989-90. The budget includes additional expenditures for anticipated overtime for the increased resurfacing/reconstruction program and $72,000 for the initial engineering studies for improvements to Seminole Lana. During the discussion that followed, Mayor Farley asked about Garage Sale Permits, responding to resident questions regarding the Building Code, and if there was a problem of building without permits. Mr. 8enric responded that the Inspection Services personnel have been handling Garage gale Permits for two years and that he thought they could continue to issue them without adversely affecting their other duties. He also stated that when a resident -*- has aquestion regarding the Building Code the Inspection Coordinator usually can omowcr the question. Finally, he stated that the Village usually did not know if building activity took place without a permit. He added that it would be fairer to all residents if there was a tighter control regarding permits, but that he did not have the staff for stricter enforcement. Trustee Corcoran then asked a number of questions regarding the amount of the salary adjustment in the 1989-90 budget, the percentage increase for salaries, the reason for the difference to total Contractual Services and the amount of overtime in the Engineering Division. Finance Director David Jepson stated that the reason for the salary adjustment in 1989-90 and the relatively high percentage of salary increases were due to the method of presenting the i^[vrmation. In 1989-90, salary increases were included under Salary Administration in the Village Manager's budget and then redistributed after the start of the h"ug*t year. The reason for this approach was to refrain from indicating the percentage increase prior to the completion of negotiations with the various employee groups. However, because an agreement is in place with each group for the 1990-91 budget year, the salary increases were included in each departmental budget for 1990-91. In summary, salary increases were reported as u salary adjustment in 1989-90 but are included for each position in the 1990-91 budget. Mr. Bencic then explained that Contractual Services were higher in 1989-90 because of the Central Rood Project. Additionally, he stated the increase in overtime in Engineering is due to inspection requirements of the expanded street resurfacing and reconstruction projects. Trustee Wattenberg asked that some restraint be exercised regarding in- spections for roof repairs and water heaters. Police Department The presentation of the budget for the Police Department was preceded by a video of polio= services. police Chief Run Povlmck then presented the Police Department's 1990-91 proposed budget. The request for 1990-91 is $4,617°615 compared to $4,430,790 in 1989-90 for an overall increase of $18*,825. The increase reflects higher amounts for personal services, medical insurance and training expenses; costs related to hiring'of an additional officer for the Gang Crimes Task Force; membership in the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System (NIPAG); the purchase of a new Breathalyzer machine, and Reaccredita- tion fees. Personal services are proposed at $3,809,225 in 1990-91 compared to $3,489,730 in 1989-90, a $319,495 increase. The increase reflects pay increases for sworn personnel under a union contract, in -range increases, and the provision for one additional officer for the Gang Crimes Task Force. The 1990-91 proposed budget for contractual services is $564,390 compared to $522,370 in 1989-90. The increase of $42,020 is duo primarily to an increase in the coot of medical insurance and career path training for sworn personnel. The membership charge for the Northern Illinois Police Crime Laboratory has increased by 4% and there is also an assessment for AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System). The assessment will remain at $32,069 for 1990-91 but will be discontinued when the opnta of implementing -5- the system are met. Also, funds have been budgeted for reaccreditation, o five-year process toward recertifying the Department's status as the 97th accredited law enforcement agency in the country. A new appropriation for 1990-91 is a provision for membership in the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System (NlPA5). As e member of mIPA6~ the Village has a multi -jurisdiction task force of up to JO additional officers available within 30 minutes. The cost for this program is a $1,700 membership fee and e one-time charge of $5,600 for training the Village's member of the group. In the capital expenditures category, there is an overall decrease duo to the cycle used to replace Police vehicles. During the 1989-90 fiscal year, 17 vehicles were replaced; however, in 1990-91 only three vehicles have been proposed for replacement. Chief Pavluok completed his presentation by identifying some future needs. In the 1991-92 budget an estimated $250,000 will be needed for vehicle replacement. Additionally, the Department plana to re-evaluate the civilian personnel positions and the sworn personnel needs during the coming year. Also, one of the high priorities will be to provide information and education regarding e new or remodeled Public Safety Building. The Chief concluded by saying the goal of the Department is to provide responsible, prudent police services to the entire Village within the economic resources that are available. Mayor Farley Asked if we were up to full strength and if we were at full strength during 89/90. Chief Pavluok stated that currently we are at full mtcnmgtx but that during 89/90 we were down an average of J to 4 police officers. Mayor Farley asked how many municipalities were participating in the Gang Crimen Teex Force. Chief Pevinok replied there were eight. Mayor Farley then stated that he would like to see the vehicle replace- ment schedule evened out, Chief PavIock stated his staff was looking at alternatives, but a suitable plan had not yet been worked out. Village Manager Dixon then stated that the Finance Director was preparing information on a Motor Pool Internal Service Fund which could resolve this issue. Trustee Wattenberg Complemented the Chief for the fine job that the Police Department does. He then said he would like to son a special burglary detail of three men, Chief PavIock responded that currently each burglary in investigated and that the bent offense against burgla- ries in the Neighborhood Watch Program. Trustee Floras Asked why the CPO Incentive Pay in Patrol and Traffic Enforcement was $11,520 in 89/90 and $37,105 in 90/91. Chief Povlork responded that the increase was part of the negotiated salary package. Trustee Floras stated he would not support the addition of a new police officer position. Trustee Yon Gemm Stated that the Police Department budget is up am -9m when capital expenditures are excluded. He asked the Police Chief to go hucu and see where reductions could be wade to reduce the increase to about 5%. Trustee Floras supported this request. -6- ^ Trustee Corcoran we will have new needs each year and we should react to those needs, but we should not overreact. I'm not sure whether an additional person should be added. I would like to ana an analysis of the total coat of adding a new man compared to the costs of o five-year veteran, including the costs of a vehicle, radio, etc, Trustee Arthur l agree, the additional officer cannot be fundeu. I also would like to take a look at a different vehicle replacement schedule. Chief Pomlocx responded at this point that the budget as presented was a e bare -bones budget and if he xad to cut beck 4%, he would need to lay off personnel. Trustee Wattenberg Supported the Chief and stated we have not spent enough in the past and now we have to pay the piper. Trustee Busse Asked the Chief to review the budget and tell the Board where services would be lacking if the budget is reduced. Trustee Busse stated that we need to.be fiscally responsible, but we need to have necessary police services. Trustee Flnrno Stated that we are not suggesting cutting anything which already is in place. Tfuetee Corcoran The increase in the Police budget is $70,000 more than the entire Human Services budget, A 1% reduction would save $42,000. I would like you to sharpen your pencil. V. Other Business Mark Hess of TCI appeared before the Committee to explain that over the next several weeks, TCI will be replacing certain amplifiers in their system. He explained that most of the work will be done between 12:00 midnight and 7,00 a -m, and the entire project should be completed by the end of April. He added that the result should be better service and clearer pictures for all subscribers. Public Works Director Herb Weeks reported to the Committee that roqvuate for proposals for engineering services relative to flooding concerns in the Village had been sent out to eight consulting firms. The proposals were reviewed by his staff along with Village Engineer Chuck Benoio, and three consulting firma were selected for interviewing. From that group, RJN Environmental of Wheaton, Illinois is being recommended. 3no" Nardozzi of R3N explained that the project would take four to five months to complete and would include six or seven areas of study within the Village. He stated they understood the concern of being a good neighbor - of coming up with solutions to the project not just shifting the problems to another community. Trustee Corcoran asked why the Village was recommending RJN when they were not the lowest proposal. Mr. Nnake explained that the recommendation was based upon the interviews. He and Chuck 8encio agreed that they thought RJN had o better understanding of the work to be done, were better staffed to do the Job, and had already completed the study for the Centrel/wapella area. Mayor Farley requested that any construction work be coordinated with street projects. Herb Weeks confirmed that this would be done. Trustee Wattenberg than stated that he would like to put the flood control projects on a back -burner until o decision is reached on o new Public Safety Building. He stated he thought we are taking on too much at this time. Irene Newman of 616 Elmhurst Avenue appeared before the Committee and stated that they get water in their basement whenever it rains and "nvId like some relief. The Committee supported the recommendation and agreed to place the item on the agenda of the next regular Board meeting. Village Manager Dixon made the following announcements- Prospect Heights in now a member of Northwest Central Dispatch; there will be e meeting on March 29 at the Mount Prospect Park District -for all governmental bodies; and that he would be meeting on February 28 with the Mount Prospect Park District and the Arlington Heights Park District regarding welao Perk. Mayor Farley stated that he will be absent from the regular Board Meeting on March 6° 1990. Leo Florue was selected to chair that meeting. � VI. Adjournment There being no other business to come before the Committee of the Whole, the meeting was adjourned at 11x10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, David C. Jepson IM ,� ,-.LLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPL-4 PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Mount Prospect, Illinois MINUTES COFFEE WITH COUNCIL Saturday February 17, 1988 Trustees Room, Village Hall 10:00 A.M. The monthly Coffee With Council was convened at 10:00 am. In attendance were: Trustee George VanGeem, Plan Commission Chairman Don Weibel, Village Manager John F. Dixon, Planning and Zoning Director David X Clements and Mr. Joe Rhode of 317 North Wille. Mayor Gerald Farley and Trustee Ralph Arthur arrived at 10:30. Mr. Rhode discussed his concerns about the new home being constructed at 315 North Wille. He indicated a concern about stormwater run-off during construction, as grading has not been done and gutters are not yet installed on the new house. After discussion, Mr. Rhode agreed the railroad ties could be placed on the lot line as a temporary measure, to prohibit overland flow. He also agreed that railroad ties could be' used at the foundation, as a planter. Mr. Dixon noted that he believed railroad ties could be placed on the lot line if the ground was not frozen, and stated, perhaps gutters could be installed on this side of the house as soon as possible. Persons in attendance generally discussed surface drainage, and noted that proper engineering was more important than aesthetics. Mr. Rhode asked about the possibility of a restrictive covenant at 315 North Wille that might prohibit changing any grades, direction of downspouts or sump pump discharge. Mr. Dixon indicated that such a covenant might be possible, but that it needs to be part of a total package for presentation to that property owner., The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, bak M.

ADJOURNMENT MOUNT PROSPECT RECYCLING COMMISSION February 15, 1990 Meeting Minutes PRESENT: Dick Bachhuber, Paul Hoefert, Joe Kubik, and Ken Westlake Glen Andler and Lisa Angell, Public works staff ABSENT: Brian Robertson, Elizabeth Herbert, George Luteri, Steve Polit and Mary Winkler (No official business was conducted at the February meeting as there were not enough members present for a quorum. However, an informal session was held with reference to the February agenda.) The meeting was called to order by Chairman Westlake at 7:40 PM. The January meeting minutes were reviewed however, a formal motion to approve the minutes will be made at the March 15 meeting. As there were no members from the community present the Commission moved on to the next item on the agenda, data from the curbside program. Glen Andler also shared data compiled from December 1988 through January 1990. The following topics were then discussed under Old Business. A. Yard Material 1) Glen Andler stated approval had been given to move ahead with the printing of the yard material brochures. The question was raised as to whether we had ordered enough brochures. Glen stated a sufficient quantity was ordered, with the option to reorder when needed. 2) The contract for the yard material bags was awarded to the low bidder, Mid-America Packaging. Joe Kubik questioned the number of bags ordered. It was the concensus of those in attendance that the estimated number ordered was an acceptable quantity considering this is a pioneer program. If more bags are needed, only enough will be ordered to complete the season. The procedure for tagging unacceptable yard material bags left at the curb was questioned. Mr. Andler stated BFI is working with Public Works in tag design; BFI will be responsible for tagging the container and the cost of the tag. 3) Ken Westlake again suggested the Commission be more proactive and organize a Speakers Bureau. He feels networking with the various civic organizations would foster community concensus on recycling and increase visibility of Commission. Chairman Westlake volunteered to draft a letter to local organizations; Public Works will provide him with the list of names and addresses. Paul Hoefert stated he had talked with Janet Hansen, Mount Prospect Chamber of Conference, in regard to information on how businesses can recycle their materials. (Development of an informational packet designed for businesses will be included on next month's agenda.) 4) The Mount Prospect Park District will be offering classes on lawn care, in general, as well as seminars on composting. The Park District is also encouraging residents to leave grass clippings on their lawns. Residents requesting additional information on composting will be referred to Friendship Conservkory. B. Transfer Site Glen Andler informed the Commission that the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) did not approve the request for a transfer site at Melas Park. The property, owned by MWRD, is strictly for recreational use. The roll -off bins for the curbside program currently placed at Melas must be removed within 30 days. Glen is working with BFI in locating an alternate site for the roll -offs. (BFI will bear the cost of the transfer site for the roll -offs.) Consideration is also being given to locating parcels of land for a leaf and snow collection site. At this time Mr. Andler also indicated it was highly unlikely the Village would receive funding from the Department of Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) for development of a transfer site. C. Alternate Markets for Newspaper George Luteri was not in attendance, therefore his report was deferred until the March meeting. Dick Bachhuber did state he had seen an article regarding the usage of newspaper for animal bedding, however, the high cost of hauling was a noted drawback. D. Household Hazardous Materials Chairman Westlake contacted Cinda Schein with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency regarding the Village's application for a hazardous collection day in Mount Prospect. Ken expressed his concern with the EPA's guidelines for application especially the lack of deadline dates. Although the Village was not selected in the last round our application is being kept on file for the next program in the fall of 1990. Ken will draft a letter to the EPA reemphasizing our interest in participating in a collection program. E. Multifamily Service Ken Westlake contacted the Glass Institute and was informed there was no available funding through them, but he did receive a referral list of other possible funding sources. Glen Andler stated the proposed program did not qualify for funding from ENR1s grant #7 as it was strictly for single-family homes. The proposal for placement of igloo shaped recycling containers at 4 pilot sites is in the 1990-91 budget. It will be up to the Village Board whether or not to proceed with the project. Glen encouraged Commission members to attend the March 13 budget hearing as the Public Works budget, including recycling, will be reviewed on that date. F. Recycling Participation - Mt. Prospect Park District Steve Polit was not in attendance, therefore this report was deferred to the March meeting. G. chamber of Commerce Expo - March 2, 3, and 4 1) The Commission members in attendance were asked to sign-up to work during at least (1) 2 hour period. Each of the members present were assigned to call a member(s) not present, for a time he or she would be available to work. This information is to be called into Lisa Angell by Tuesday, February 20 so that a work schedule can be sent to all members. The callers were also asked to encourage the Commission member he spoke with to attend the March 13 budget hearing. 2) Public works staff will have the display set-up with 6 panels of information on recycling and 4 panels on yard material. The brochures on yard material regulations and grass clippings will be available in limited quantities for distribution. There being no other old business to discuss the following items were identified under New Business. A. Lisa Angell stated she had been contacted by Mary Grace of St. Raymond's school requesting a speaker on recycling for one of the scout dens. When Ms. Grace contacts Public Works with more details, the Commission will then determine who will speak to the group. B. Other 1) Paul Hoefert asked if there were any local activities planned in observance of Earth Day and if so, would the Commission have a role in them. Glen Andler stated he would check with the Forestry Division and other sources for planned activities. 2) The question was raised again in regard to BFI's processing center for aluminum and whether the center also accepts tin. Glen Andler is to contact BFI for information. 3) The ordinances for the new yard material regulations were briefly introduced by Glen Andler. Revised copies of the ordinaces will be available for review at the March meeting. The March Recycling Commission meeting will meet Thursday, March 15 at 7:30 PM in the Public Works Facility. As there was no other business to discuss the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 PM. I Respectfully submitted, M. Lisa Angell
