WITHIN ELK GROVE TOWNSHIP TO THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT
This public hearing, called pursuant to proper legal notice having been published in
the Daily Herald on May 20, 2024, is to consider the annexation and zoning
designation (I-1 Limited Industrial) territory within unincorporated Elk Grove
Township.
Mayor Hoefert opened the public hearing to consider the involuntary annexation of
territory within Elk Grove Township to the Village of Mount Prospect at 7 : 24p. m .
Director of Finance Amit Thakkar presented information regarding the annexation and
accompanying ordinance. The ordinance will stand as a first reading.
The proposed annexation area includes thirty-six (36) industrial parcels and
approximately 23 acres along Oakton Street. Mr. Thakkar displayed a map of the
subject annexation. The collective Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of the subject
parcels is $12.8 million. All of the parcels will be zoned I-1 (limited industrial).
Property owners will be required to pay property taxes to the Village of Mount Prospect
and the Mount Prospect Public Library.
Mr. Thakkar provided data relating to tax implications the annexation will have on the
average taxpayer. At the current rate, these parcels will pay an average property tax
of $3,455 to the Village of Mount Prospect and $1,815 to the Mount Prospect Public
Library. Collectively, these parcels will pay $120,959 in property tax payments to the
Village and $53,551 to the Mount Prospect Library.
Mr. Thakkar stated the parcels are included in the recently established Special Service
Area (SSA), created for fire and EMS services. The Village will abate the fire portion of
the levy for these parcels to avoid the double taxation for fire and EMS services.
Mr. Thakkar provided a time for the proposed annexation. There will be an additional
opportunity to discuss the proposed annexation at the June 11, 2024, Committee of the
Whole Neighborhood meeting at RecPlex. The second reading and anticipated adoption
of the annexation ordinance will occur at the next regularly scheduled Village Board
meeting on June 18, 2024.
Mr. Thakkar provided the following in res once to questions from the Board:
The Cook County Sheriff's Department is currently responding to police calls in
the subject area.
o There are no residential properties included in this annexation; all properties are
for industrial/commercial use, so there is no student impact.
;) Chief Eterno stated he does not anticipate a significant uptick in police calls to
this area
;) All properties are on individual wells and it will be up to the owner if they want
to connect to Village water.

VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
9.1. Motion to authorize the Village Manager to execute a contract with SB
Friedman for consultant assistance for an amount not to exceed $49,850.
Director of Community &Economic Development Jason Shallcross provided background
information on the South Mount Prospect TIF (Tax Increment Financing) that was created in
2022. The South Mount Prospect TIF consists of 505 acres, 127 improved parcels and 81
primary buildings. Mr. Shallcross displayed a map of the subject area.
Mr. Shallcross stated Village staff is seeking to expand the South Mount Prospect TIF with the
creation of three new subareas that include:
1. Comprised of the existing ComEd utility easement
2. Comprised of light industrial, office park, and distribution uses west of Elmhurst Road (Lake
Center Industrial Park).
3. Comprised of legacy industrial development that originally occurred in unincorporated Cook
County before annexation by the Village
SB Friedman Development Advisors have provided services for the Village in the past,
providing tax increment financing consulting services including the South Mount Prospect TIF.
The Village is once again looking to retain SB Friedman for TIF consulting services to evaluate
the expansion of the existing South Mount Prospect TIF district. The project will consist of four
phases if subareas are found eligible: a TIF Eligibility Study for all three subareas, preparation
of a major amendment document, preparation of mailing lists and notification documents, and a
public review process.
Mr. Shallcross answered questions from the Board.

9.2. Motion to accept proposal to provide Phase II Engineering Services for
Algonquin Road Shared Use Path & Lighting Project for an amount not to
exceed $245,588.00 AND PASS A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR
TO SIGN A LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCY AGREEMENT WITH THE ILLINOIS
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THAT APPROPRIATES FEDERAL
CONGESTION MITIGATION & AIR QUALITY GRANT FUNDS FOR DESIGN
ENGINEERING COSTS.
Director of Public Works, Sean Dorsey presented background, proposal information and staff
recommendation for Phase II Engineering Services for Algonquin Road Shared Use Path &
Lighting Project for an amount not to exceed $245,588.00. Mr. Dorsey is also seeking approval
of a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a Local Public Agency Agreement with the Illinois
Department of Transportation that appropriates Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
grant funds for design engineering costs.
Mr. Dorsey stated the scope of work includes installing an 8 -ft wide shared -use path along the
north side of Algonquin Road between Dearborn Court and Elmhurst Road. The project will
also include filling in the missing sidewalk on the south side of Qakton Street and adding street
lighting on Algonquin Road.
The Village applied and was granted federal funding from the Congestion Mitigation & Air
Quality (CMAQ) Program in the amount of $2.3 million. The estimated total cost of the project
is approximately $2.9 million. The grant covers 80% of the total project cost, which is the
maximum amount for federal transportation grants. The grant amount will be used for Phase II,
land acquisition required to complete the project and construction, which will begin in October
2025.
Mr. Dorsey stated staff sent out a Request for Proposals to obtain proposals from engineering
consultants for the completion of Phase II of the project. Mr. Dorsey stated staff received two
(2) proposals; one from Christopher B. Burke Engineering LTD and one from GSG Consulting.
Mr. Dorsey reminded the Board that Christopher B. Burke Engineering performed Phase I of
this project. Mr. Dorsey explained that since federal money will be used to fund this project, a
Qualification -based Selection (CABS) system must be used when selecting consultants. Mr.
Dorsey stated staff selected Christopher B. Burke Engineering as the preferred consultant due
to their familiarity with the project as well as their highly qualified team of experts. In addition,
their fees are reasonable and fair. Their rate is approximately $147 per hour for an estimated
1 ,676 hours to complete the project. The amount of the grant that will be used for this phase is
$196,470; the amount of the Christopher B. Burke contract totals $245,588 and the Village's
share of the cost is $49,118.
Mr. Dorsey stated staff recommends approval of the proposal from Christopher B. Burke
Engineering for Phase II Engineering Services and approval of the accompanying resolution.
In response to a question from the board, Mr. Dorsey stated that the staff is in discussions with
PACE for improvements including bus shelters and hopes to coordinate work with PACE during
this phase of the project.
No further discussion.

Northwest Municipal Conference's Suburban Purchasing Cooperative for an
amount not to exceed $246,000.00.
Police Chief Mike Eterno stated the department is seeking to purchase four (4)

police patrol vehicles; a 2019 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a 2016 Ford Explorer
Police Interceptor, a 2016 Dodge Charger and an unmarked 2016 Dodge Charger used
by detectives.
Chief Eterno stated the four vehicles to be replaced were evaluated using Public Work's
detailed comprehensive replacement policy. The policy utilizes a point -based system to
assess vehicles based on four (4) major factors: age, mileage, repair/maintenance, and
condition of the body and mechanical components. A point total equaling or exceeding
eleven (11) out of sixteen (16) indicates that the vehicle should be replaced. Each of
these vehicles scored between 14-16 points, indicating the vehicles are recommended
for replacement.
Chief Eterno stated that staff is looking to replace the three(3) frontline patrol vehicles
with three (3) Ford Explorer all -wheel drive hybrid pursuit -rated utility vehicles. Staff
also seeks to replace the department's investigative vehicle with one (1) Chevy
Equinox all -wheel drive sport utility vehicle.
Chief Eterno reminded the Board that the Village is a member of the Northwest
Municipal Conference, which offers pricing through the Suburban Purchasing
Cooperative. The 2025 Ford Explorer all -wheel drive hybrid Vehicles can be purchased
through Currie Motors in Frankfort, IL, while the Chevy Equinox is available for
purchase through Miles Chevrolet LLC in Decatur, IL. These are public bid contracts
that meet the procurement requirements of the Village's Purchasing Policy. Chief
Eterno stated funding for all four vehicles is allocated in the 2024 CIP (Capital
Improvement Project) budget. Chief Eterno noted that pricing includes outfitting the
vehicles with lights si rens, markings, etc.
In response to a question from the Board, Chief Eterno stated that the manufacturers
are currently accepting orders for the vehicles. However, he cautioned that there is still
no guarantee regarding the availability of the vehicles. Chief Eterno specifically
mentioned that the Chevy Equinox should be available with minimal delay.
