Re: Membership Documents for Inverness
Dear Mike,
The Inverness Village Board has passed the necessary resolution authorizing the
approval of an amended venture agreement to become a member in the
Northwest Central Dispatch System at their May 12, 2008 Board meeting. The
next step will require action by the Boards of Trustees and City Council of the
existing Northwest Central Dispatch System member communities.
I have enclosed several documents related to the membership process to be
acted upon by the Mount Prospect Village Board.
For Northwest Central Dispatch I have included the following;
1. A proposed Board of Trustees Resolution approving an amended venture
agreement which will authorize the membership of Inverness.
2. A copy of the new Venture Agreement; the current By-Laws and the
Memorandum of Agreement which outlines the details of membership
for Inverness. These items are being furnished only as samples and
as a matter of information.
Original signatures on the Venture Agreement are required. I have included
eleven (11) copies of the Venture Agreement page that your Mayor will need to
sign. When the certified copy of the Resolution and the Venture Agreement
signature pages are ready please call me and I will make arrangements to pick
them up.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions or if I can be of any further
assistance in this process.
Sincerely,
Cindy Barbera-Brelle

Memorandum of Agreement - NWCDS
1. Upon the date when all participants have approved and signed the revised
Northwest Central Dispatch System Venture Agreement, Inverness will be
considered a non-voting member of the system, and will be permitted to
participate in all activities and deliberations of the system.
Inverness will be granted voting rights when dispatch operations are
officially transferred to the NWCDS System and monthly assessments
begin. At that time, Inverness will have one seat and one vote on the
NWCDS Board of Directors (which is composed of the Village Managers
or Administrators/City Administrators of the member municipalities).
Inverness will also have one seat and one vote for its police department
on the NWCDS Executive Committee.
2. Dispatch services are projected to be transferred to NWCDS on or about
May 1, 2009. The implementation date is contingent on the installation of
radio equipment, telephone service and other electronic equipment
needed to handle the dispatch operations for the police department.
Implementation will not take place until all necessary components are in
place and functioning properly.
3. Inverness will pay to NWCDS an initiation fee of $81,010.48, which will be
due in two equal payments May 20, 2009 and May 20, 2010.
4. Inverness will pay the full cost of any modifications to the radio consoles,
telephone equipment, CAD, Records Management Sharing System
equipment, MDC equipment, and software, which are necessary to
accommodate its police dispatch operation in the NWCDS center.
Inverness agrees to pay the expenses to NWCDS within 30 days after
receipt of an invoice from Northwest Central Dispatch.
The total combined one-time transitional expense for Inverness for system
modifications is not expected to exceed $26,814 although if those actual
expenses are higher, Inverness agrees to pay the higher amounts.
NWCDS will keep Inverness fully apprised of the costs involved as those
figu res are developed with the various contractors. This includes 9-1-1
transition costs.
It is expected that all such costs will be billed to the community during
calendar year 2009.
If the actual costs are lower than the estimated costs cited above, the
invoices will reflect the actual costs.
5. Inverness will begin paying a proportionate share of the NWCDS
operating and capital reserve assessments immediately upon the transfer
of dispatch operations. If after May 1, 2009, the annual assessment share
for Inverness for the first NWCDS fiscal year will be pro-rated to include
only the number of months for which dispatch service is actually provided.
Assessment payments will be invoiced on a monthly basis.
The annual assessment will be based on the standard formula used for all
current members. The formula consists of a combination percentage of
telephone calls received by the municipality (both 9-1-1 and seven digit
calls) and the total number of police department dispatch assignments.
During the first fiscal year of operation, the assessment will be based on
the two formula factors derived from 2008 figures. If the combination
percentage is less than 2%, 2% will be used to calculate the annual
assessment.
In subsequent fiscal years the budget assessment share for Inverness will
vary according to the then prevailing apportionment formula. However, if
the combination percentage is less than 2%, 2% will be used to calculate
the annual assessment.
6. Inverness agrees to be obligated for a proportionate share of the debits
and liabilities outside of normal operating expenses, which may be
incurred after the effective date of its grant of voting membership in
NWCDS. Its proportionate share shall be equal to its current annual
assessment percentage or 2% whichever is greater.
7. The Inverness Police Department will have limited front desk capability to
handle routine non-emergency radio and telephone traffic during business
hours.
8. Inverness will ensure that all marked police vehicles are equipped with
suitable mobile data devices at the outset of dispatch operations, which
will be operationally compatible with the NWCDS mobile data
infrastructure and all other units in the system.
Any MDCs will be incorporated into the NWCDS mobile infrastructure at
Inverness' expense.
9. Any future CAD or RMS software changes requested by Inverness which
are unique to its police operations and which do not have system-wide
applicability would be the sole responsibility of Inverness.
10. Inverness will be responsible for all costs associated with its telephone
lines (except 9-1-1) which includes the routing of off-premise extensions
for a seven-digit police emergency line to NWCDS; for its own mobile and
portable radios, pagers and cellular telephones; and for all in-house CAD,
LEADS and RMS data terminals and printers.
11. NWCDS will monitor direct connect and/or radio alarms for vital municipal
services such as wells and lift stations provided that all such alarms are
received on the standard NWCDS monitoring equipment.
12. It is agreed that Inverness will make available its geographic files in ESRI
format or will attempt to machine convert the files or otherwise manually
code them to conform to the format used in the NWCDS CAD system.
Any other useful computer files will be provided in the best format possible
to facilitate building the necessary NWCDS CAD files.
13. NWCDS will cooperate as fully as possible to establish an interface of the
Inverness' Records Management System into the NWCDS Integrated
Justice Information System.
14. It is agreed that unit-numbering designations and police beat number
designations (Inverness will use 700 series numbers) will conform to the
standard scheme used by NWCDS. Radio broadcast conventions will also
conform to existing NWCDS practice.
Inverness agrees that unique operational practices in the police
department that is not used by at least one of the other NWCDS
departments will be changed to conform to member agency existing
practice.
Inverness also agrees that department specific and unique practices tend
to be inefficient in a joint system; complicates the training process; and
causes a much greater susceptibility to errors and shall be avoided
whenever possible.
The objective is to have uniformity amongst the member communities.
15. It is understood by all parties that the transition to a new operating system
is often difficult and in an effort to promote a smooth transition process,
the Village will identify a single point of contact at the command staff level
who will serve as the transition coordinator for at least a one-year period.
Ideally, the coordinator will be someone who is familiar with dispatch
operations and who has spent a minimum of 24 hours of familiarization
training at the NWCDS center. In return, NWCDS will also identify a
transition coordinator who will be assigned to become familiar with
Inverness dispatch procedures, and will interface with the designated
Inverness coordinator.
16. Inverness will provide a clearly defined mechanism to insure immediate
and explicit notification of any annexations and/or address changes in
order to maintain an accurate CAD geo file and 9-1-1 MSAG database.
NWCDS will provide all necessary services to maintain the CAD geofiles,
police department response changes and other CAD tables and files
provided it is furnished with notification of major changes 60 days in
advance of the effective date of the change. At which time a project
timeline will be developed.
17. NWCDS will add no new personnel to its staff to accommodate
Inverness's dispatch activities.

Re: Membership Documents for Inverness
Dear Mike,
The I nverness Village Board has passed the necessary ordinance authorizing
approval of an intergovernmental agreement for entry into the Northwest Central
9-1-1 System at their May 12, 2008 Board meeting. The next step will require
action by the Boards of Trustees and City Council of the existing member
communities.
I have enclosed several documents related to the membership process to be
acted upon by the Mount Prospect Village Board.
For Northwest Central 9-1-1 System, I have included the following;
1. A proposed Resolution authorizing approval of an Addendum of New
Membership and a copy of the Addendum itself.
When the Resolution has been approved, the President and the Village

2. Also included, as a matter of information, is the existing 9-1-1
System Venture Agreement (which will not change), the current 9-1-1
System By-Laws, and the Memorandum of Agreement for Inverness.
The latter documents are provided because they contain the necessary

Exhibit A - Memorandum of Agreement - NWC911
1. Upon the date when all participants have approved and signed the revised
Northwest Central 9-1-1 System I ntergovern mental Agreement, Inverness
will be considered a non-voting member of the system, and will be
permitted to participate in all activities and deliberations of the system.
Inverness will be granted voting rights when 9-1-1 operations for
Inverness are officially transferred to the NWC911 System and monthly
surcharge collections (wireless, VolP etc.) and system operational
contributions are remitted directly to the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System.
At that time, Inverness will have one seat and one vote on the NWC911
System Board (ETSB) (which is composed of the Village Managers or
Administrators/City Administrators of the member municipalities).
The Northwest Central 9-1-1 System will perform all necessary work
associated with the preparation and filing of an amended 9-1-1 system
plan with the Illinois Commerce Commission.
2. All 9-1-1 surcharge remittances and system operational contributions will
be made payable to the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System and be sent by
the ICC in the case of wireless surcharge collections, and by Voice over IP
providers in the case of Vol P collections and by I nverness in the case of
local exchange access lines to the Northwest Central office.
3. Northwest Central will deposit the net amount remitted by Inverness based
on the current system wide operating surcharge of $.29 per line per
month. This amount will be allocated to the common 9-1-1 system funding
pool and will be used for 9-1-1 system budgetary purposes.
If at a later date, the members of the system determine that there is a
need to increase the monthly operating surcharge for general system
operating expenses or capital improvements Inverness will maintain parity
in the portion of its contribution, which is allocated to 9-1-1 system
operations. In June 2009, each member municipality is projected to
contribute .43 of their monthly surcharge collection or the difference if
there is not sufficient collection to a radio system infrastructure
replacement fund. Inverness would be responsible for contributing .72 to
the NWC911 System (.29 to operations and .43 to the radio system
infrastructure replacement fund) at that time.
"
4. The Northwest Central 9-1-1 System will pay all expenses related to the
provisioning of Enhanced 9-1-1 service for Inverness effective with the
transfer of 9-1-1 functions to Northwest Central. This includes AT&T and
other local exchange carrier service fees, database preparation and
maintenance, 9-1-1 premise equipment hardware and software, and
adequate backup capability.
5. Inverness will pay certain one-time fixed costs for new equipment and/or
software or for the modification of certain system components necessary
for the integration of Inverness into the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System.
Inverness agrees to pay such expenses to the Northwest Central 9-1-1
System within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from the Northwest
Central 9-1-1 System.
The total combined one-time transitional expense for Inverness for system
modifications is included in the aggregate found in item number 4 of the
NWCDS Memorandum of Agreement.
6. Inverness agrees to be obligated for its proportionate share of the debts
and liabilities outside of normal operating expenses, which may be
incu rred after its effective date of transfer of 9-1-1 operations to the
Northwest Central 9-1-1 System. The proportionate share will be based on
Inverness's share of the total number of access lines in the 9-1-1 system.
Any balance remaining in its 9-1-1 system account on the date of transfer
of operations must be transferred to the joint Northwest Central 9-1-1
System where such funds will be separately identified and administered by
the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System. Those fu nds may be expended for
any lawful 9-1-1 related expenses as Inverness directs.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

Mount Prospect, Illinois
TO:

DATE:
SUBJECT:
MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
MAY 29, 2008
2008 BUDGET AMENDMENT NO.1
PURPOSE:
Present a recommendation that the annual budget be amended for fiscal year beginning Janu
December 31,2008.
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 5672, adopted December 18, 2007, established the annual budget for the year ending Dece
DISCUSSION:
In order to better manage the annual budget, the Village has taken to preparing budget amendments in early Spring and
late Fall to account for material variations in revenue and expenditure line items. Many times this is as a result of
fluctuations in the economy affecting revenues (either positively or negatively), extraordinary or unanticipated charges for
expenditures or the timing of projects causing work to occur in different fiscal periods.
A proposed ordinance amending the 2008 Annual Budget is attached for the Board's consideration. In total, we are
decreasing our revenue projections by $699,550 and increasing the budget for expenditures by $3,159,190.
Amendments to revenues include reductions in the home rule and state portion sales tax as well as investment income.
The economic slowdown has negatively impacted overall retail sales in the Village and the return on invested funds have
fallen as the Federal Reserve continues to lower short-term interest rates. Increases to certain revenue items resulted
from changes in internal charges between individual Funds.
There are four significant expenditure amendments related to capital projects for infrastructure improvements and
vehicles and equipment. Infrastructure projects utilizing carryover funds include $543,500 for Downtown Streetscape
Improvements and $373,800 for Street Resurfacing. A carryover for the purchase of an emergency generator totaling
$442,200 and replacement PW vehicles totaling $277,500 account for the other two significant expenditure
amendments. The balance of the amendments to expenditures is either carryovers from the prior year or adjustments to
the current year's budget amount.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Village Board adopt the proposed ordinance amending the 2008 Annual Budget.

VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT
MAY 29, 2008
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT FOR COMMERCIAL WASTE
SERVICES AND CODE AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 19
At the May 13 Committee of the Whole the Village Board concurred with staff's
recommendation to award a commercial solid waste contract to Allied Waste Services.
Attached is a copy of the resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement
with Allied Waste Services for exclusive commercial solid waste services. In addition is
a copy of the ordinance amending Chapter 19 of the Village Code to allow for an
exclusive franchise agreement for commercial solid waste services.
The amendments to Chapter 19 establish that all nonresidential waste (commercial
waste) is only to be collected by the Village's exclusive nonresidential waste hauler.
The changes also establish that the exclusive hauler is responsible for billing all
commercial properties, but does allow for the Village to assist in bill collection by placing
liens or shutting off water to a property. All other details concerning commercial waste
collection are defined in the Commercial Solid Waste contract and summarized in the
attached copy of my May 7, 2008 memo.
Please include the resolution and code amendment on the June 3, 2008 Village Board
agenda.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: MAY 7,2008
SUBJECT: COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE PROPOSAL RECOMMENDATION
Backaround
At a previous Committee of the Whole meeting Village staff presented the details of the
Village's proposed commercial solid waste bid specifications. At that time staff received
permission to negotiate directly with ARC Disposal (ARC), the Village's current
exclusive residential waste hauler, for a commercial solid waste contract. After several
months of negotiations the Village and ARC were unsuccessful in reaching an
agreement for commercial solid waste services. The decision was made to mail out a
request for proposal (RFP) to local waste haulers for these services. On March 25,
2008 specifications were mailed to eight local solid waste haulers with the RFP being
due by April 17, 2008.
Proposal
The Village received seven proposals from: Allied Waste, ARC Disposal, Flood
Brothers, Groot Recycling & Waste Services, Lakeshore Waste Services, Veolia and
Waste Management. Village staff with the assistance of Brooke Beal, the Executive
Director of the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC), reviewed all
of the proposals. After reviewing all of the numbers in great detail and the other
incentives offered by the haulers Village staff, with the endorsement of Brooke Beal,
finds the proposal of Allied Waste to be in the best interest of the Village.
Discussion
The current status of negotiations prevents the public discussion of the specific
numbers in Allied's proposal, but it is pOSSible to discuss the basics of the proposal.
The numbers that Allied submitted are fair and are significantly lower than the best
proposals recently received by the City of Evanston and the Village of Niles for
commercial solid waste services. In addition Allied has agreed to a flat annual increase,
which will protect the Village from rising fuel costs and any potential labor cost increase
Page 2 of 3
Commercial Solid Waste Proposal Recommendation
May 7, 2008
when new union contracts are negotiated. Another item that makes Allied's proposal
interesting and significantly different than the other proposals is the inclusion of free
recycling for all businesses.
Allied has agreed to include once a week collection for any size container (95 gallon
cart to a ten cubic yard dumpster) for all commercial properties at no cost. Potentially
this represents a significant cost savings for businesses that actively recycle. A
business that recycles should be able to reduce their waste collection by one dumpster
size. For example a business receiving service three times a week for a six cubic yard
dumpster would be able to reduce collection to a four cubic yard dumpster three times a
week or a six cubic yard dumpster twice a week.
Once a commercial solid waste contract is awarded all commercial properties will be
contacted and informed of the schedule for the change out of the property's
dumpster(s). The Village currently has two plans for the switching of dumpsters. The
first of the two ideas is to replace the dumpsters by geographic location. This would
require the town to be broken into geographic regions with each region being scheduled
a specific date for replacement. The second idea is to switch containers based on the
existing waste hauler. Each existing waste hauler would be assigned a specific date for
replacement. In terms of both scenarios a decision has not been made as to whether
the dumpsters would be collected by the hauler owning the dumpsters or if the Village's
exclusive hauler would collect the dumpsters. If the Village's exclusive waste hauler is
assigned the task of collecting the dumpsters the dumpsters would be delivered to a
centralized location at which point the owners of the dumpsters would then collect the
dumpsters. Once a property's dumpsters are changed the Village's exclusive hauler
would be responsible for service and billing.
The bid specifications require that the exclusive hauler be responsible for directly billing
all commercial properties for service. Properties would be billed for collection of
commercial waste for the previous quarter. The Village would set the rates charged by
the waste hauler. Rates would include the contractor's rate for refuse and recycling
services, which includes all tip fees, and any administration fee established by the
Village. Commercial properties would be phased into the billing and service schedule
as dumpsters are switched. The bid specifications require that all commercial
properties begin receiving service under the contract within one (1) year of the
commencement of the commercial solid waste agreement. This does not prevent the
exclusive hauler from changing out dumpsters on a more aggressive schedule. The
only properties that would be exempt from the commercial solid waste contract would
be properties that are part of a national contract for the collection of commercial waste.
Past experiences of SWANCC communities implementing exclusive commercial waste
collection contracts suggest that the current rates paid by national contracts will be
lower than the rates offered by the Village's exclusive contract.
Page 3 of 3
Commercial Solid Waste Proposal Recommendation
May 7, 2008
In a majority of cases the rates outlined in the exclusive commercial waste agreement
will be lower than the rate properties are currently paying. However, in a few cases the
rate properties are currently paying will be less than the rates outlined on the Village's
exclusive agreement. The grandfather clause as currently written in the bid
specifications would allow properties with lower rates to continue paying the lower rate
for a full year. Beginning in the second year of the contract grandfathered properties
would see set percentage increases that would bring the properties inline with contract
rates by the beginning of year four (4) of the contract.
Recommendation
As previously stated staff and Brooke Beal are recommending the approval of Allied
Waste's proposal for commercial solid waste services. If the Village Board agrees staff
will draft a new ordinance establishing exclusive commercial solid waste permit and
contract for Allied Waste for formal approval at the June 3, 2008 Village Board meeting.
