ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF MARCH 25, 2008 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. RETAIL CONSULTANT REPORT As part of the development of a Village-wide marketing plan, it was determined that a Retail Market Analysis would be useful in providing a framework and strategic direction to move forward in marketing the Village to prospective retailers and businesses. In December 2007, Business Districts Inc. (BDI) was hired to perform the study. BDI was tasked with the following: . Understand and evaluate Mount Prospect's existing retail and restaurant development at Mount Prospect's Downtown, Randhurst Shopping Center North Sector), and South Sector retail districts; . Identify and provide a comprehensive demographic analysis of target markets for each retail district; . Determine the investor opportunities for retail and restaurant uses in each Mount Prospect district; . Incorporate, those identified investor opportunities and target markets into a comprehensive Retail Development Strategy; At the core of the report is the situation audit; a "where-do-we-go-from-here" diagnosis of the community's economic and physical conditions as well as market demographics and retail mix. From this analysis, a strategic plan was developed highlighting specific, actionable steps. Updates on the report were given to the Village Board of Trustees at the Retail 1-2-3 workshop held on December 11, 2007 and at the Branding Workshop on February 26. The consultant will present the Executive Summary of the report at tonight's meeting. Once input and feedback is received from the Village Board of Trustees, the final report will be issued. Appropriate staff and the consultant will be present to answer questions and facilitate discussion. V. VILLAGE PHONE SYSTEM The Village's current phone system (Fujitsu9600) was purchased in 1993 and has reached the end of its useful life due to new replacement parts no longer being available and the system management complexities that can be eliminated with new technology. As part of the 2008 Budget and a Village Board objective, staff undertook the process to replace the Village phone system. Staff obtained significant assistance from an independent telecommunications consultant, David Wilson, Wilson Consulting. With assistance from Wilson Consulting staff undertook departmental user focus group discussions that were formulated into a RFP for a replacement system. Once the RFP's were received, staff and Wilson Consulting evaluated the responses and ranked the submittals prior to personal on-site visits to the final four vendors. After an additional round of evaluation of the final four vendors, staff and Wilson Consulting are recommending replacing the current Village phone system with a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) system. Staff will be presenting its findings and recommendation to the Village Board. David Wilson, Wilson Consulting and appropriate staff will be present to make a presentation and answer any questions.
