Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1st) reading an ordinance concerning the Illinois Gaming Act, Public Act 96-34, Amended by Public Act 96-37 and Public Act 96-38. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Page 3 of 6 September 15, 2009 This ordinance prohibits the installation of video gaming terminals within the Village until such time as the Village, by ordinance either adopts its own standards or adopts the rules promulgated by the Illinois Gaming Board, and reserves the Village's right to adopt an ordinance completely prohibiting video gaming within the corporate limits of the Village of Mount Prospect. Stating the Village is seeking input from the community, Mayor Wilks encouraged both residents and businesses to participate in the Village's video gaming survey; the survey is on the Village's web site. VillaQe Board Comments/Discussion · This item was discussed at length at the September 8, 2009 Committee of the Whole meeting. This ordinance allows the Village to move ahead with a "just in case" ordinance should efforts be made to implement video gaming prior to the establishment of rules/regulations by the Illinois Gaming Board. · Without rules and regulations from the Illinois Gaming Board, the Village Board is left with many unanswered questions. Information on this matter is important to the Village Board's decision. · Are video games that do not "payout" impacted by ordinance? This ordinance would not affect current video games or placement of new video games; these games are for amusement not for cash payout. · Illinois Gaming Board rules need to be in place prior to final decision. · Clarification of 1,000 versus 100 foot distance rule from schools and churches. [Assistant Village Manager Dave Strahl stated the Village did revisit the eligibility of businesses based on the 100 foot distance rule; more businesses would be eligible.] · May support video gaming if purpose was to give eligible businesses a competitive edge with other communities. Public Comments Mr. Jake Flowers Jake's Pizza Concerned the Village Board would just say "no" to video gaming without input from businesses. Mr. Flowers stated that over the last ten (10) years he has experienced a 50% drop in revenue. If video gaming is permitted in other communities but not Mount Prospect, local businesses will suffer further financial losses. Customers will go where video gaming is available. Members of the Village Board responded to Mr. Flowers' comments and concerns. · Mr. Flowers was assured this ordinance would not enact a flat out "no" to video gaming. The ordinance establishes necessary parameters while the Illinois Gaming Board establishes regulatory standards; providing the Village with information necessary for further discussions and decision relative to video gaming. · The business community will be notified of future discussions on video gaming. Businesses and residents were again encouraged to participate in the video gaming survey. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT A. Request Village Board approval to waive the bidding requirements and award Public Works paving contract to Arrow Road Construction Company in an amount not to exceed $120,464. Public Works Director Glen Andler presented background information, an overview of the work to be completed and staff recommendations for the Public Works paving contract. In conjunction with the construction of the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) and the expansion to the Public Works Vehicle Maintenance Building approximately 35% of the paved parking area on the Public Works site needs to be replaced. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Page 4 of 6 September 15, 2009 The work for the parking lot was bid by the project's general contractor, Leopardo Companies, and awarded to the low bidder Arrow Road Construction. In addition, assessment of the remaining 65% of the Public Works parking lot indicated that after 21 years the paved surface has reached its useful life and needs to be replaced. Since the Village's contractor Leopardo Companies already went through the bidding process for replacement of the 35% of the parking site, and to avoid possible conflicts with two (2) different paving contractors, Mr. Andler requested Arrow Road submit a new cost for replacement of the entire parking surface. Arrow's new submittal reflected a lower cost to their original Leopardo bid, {from $113,815.30 to $107,555) and an overall cost savings to the Village for the remaining 65% of the parking surface. Staff recommended the Village waive the bidding requirement and award Arrow Road Construction Company a separate contract for the Village's portion of the work (65% of parking surface) in an amount not to exceed $120,464. (Leopardo to execute separate contract for remaining 35% of parking surface; $107,555.) In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Andler stated the cost includes curb work to be done by Arrow Road Construction. The parking surface will be same strength as streets - durability for truck traffic. Villaae Board Comments/Discussion .
