III CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
IV. VILLAGE HALL DISCUSSION
The current V~llage Hall was built ~n 1958 as a bank facility and was acquired by the V~llage
~n 1976 The budding currently houses the administrative offices of the Rnance and
Community Departments as well as the offices of the Wllage Clerk, the V~llage Manager,
and the Mayor Th~rty-e~ght full-t~me and 12 part-time employees work m the Wllage Hall
The Wllage Hall ~s comprised of approximately 15,000 sq ft on two floors and a basement
Numerous physical and operabonal deficiencies have been ~dent~fied through at least four
d~fferent studies dating back as far as 1987 and as most recent as 1995 Many of the
studies have pointed to s~gmficant physical problems w~thm the budding itself, including
HVAC ~ssues and operabonal I~m~tabons within the departments that occupy the facility
Public Works personnel have done an outstanding job of reconfigunng vanous offices w~th~n
the ex~st~ng space to address some of the operabonal Issues However, due to the footpnnt
of the budding, there ~s only se much that can be accempl~shed The bu~Id~ng ~s basically
at maximum capacity in terms of employees In order to repair the facility, ~t has been
esbmated that ~t would cost several m~ll~on dollars and sbll not address the operabonal
I~m~tabons that currently ex~st
The downtown redevelopment that ~s currently underway has been a very positive ~mpetus
to rewew the Wllage Hall status With the construcbon of the dual-use building of retatl and
res~denbal at Emerson and Northwest H~ghway scheduled to start later th~s year, the
opportunity to conbnue that development along Emerson to ~nclude the s~te of the Wllage
Hall has become more attractwe Therefore, there exists real redevelopment potential for
the Wllage Hall property The most logical step m addressing the V~llage Hall space needs
would be to combine the V~llage Hall w~th the Semor Center to have one municipal facd~ty
on a mumc~pal block, which currently ~ncludes the hbrary There ~s a small, privately owned
medical office on that block, which would obwously have to be purchased to create a single
fac~hty
The d~scuss~on th~s evening IS ~ntended to g~ve some general background and prowde basic
summaries regarding the operational ~ssues and the physical hm~tabons of each faclhty
(Village Hall and Senior Center) It IS anticipated that there will be s~gnlficantly more
discussion on the fate of the Village Hall once specific decisions have been made regarding
whether the structure needs to be replaced ~n the first place The threshold questtons that
are recommended for conslderatmn th~s evening include the following
I Determine whether the Village Hall needs to be replaced
2 Determine the redevelopment value of the current Village Hall s~te
3, Determine whether the Village Hall should be combined w~th the Senior Center on the
Sen~or Center s~te
4 Create an ad hoc task force of staff and community members to d~scuss and ultimately
recommend the preferred structural layout of a combined fac~hty
5 Prowde specific d~rect~on to the task force so that members are focused on the
information the Village Board desires for cons~derabon
6 Task force should prowde a written report outhntng the recommendabons to the Village
Board for consideration by May 1, 2000
Appropnate staff will be m attendance to facilitate the discussion Staff has also ~nwted

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO MAYOR GERALD L FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
FROM ASSISTANT VILLAGE MANAGER
DATE FEBRUARY 3, 2000
SUBJECT VILLAGE HALL
The Vdlage Board stressed the need to d~scuss the future status of the building at the topic
d~scuss~on for future Committee of the Whole top~cs The status of the Vdlage Hall has been the
subject of d~scuss~on several braes in the past However, wh~le there was general consensus on
the fact that the Village Hall needed to be addressed at some point ~t was not a pnonty due to other
more cnbcal services or ~ssues ~n the community The delay ~n the d~scuss~on of the building status
has aIIowed other ~ssues to be resolved, but the Vdlage Hall status remains unknown
Purpose:
Prowde d~rect~on as to a preferred course of acbon that w~ll lead to obtaining all necessary
~nformabon to the Vdlage Board for the decision on the final d~spos~bon of the Vdlage Hall The
d~recbon should include cnbcal elements that the Vdlage Board considers important to assist m the
dehberabons of the budd~ng's status
General Background
The current Vdlage Hall was budt as a bank facd~ty ~n 1958 and was acquired by the Vdlage of
Mount Prospect in 1976 The budding currently houses the administrative offices of F~nance,
Community Development, Vdlage Clerk, Wllage Manager's Office, and the Mayor There are
currently 38 full~t~me and 12 part-time employees working ~n the V~llage Hall The Village Hall is
comprised of approximately 15,000 square feet on two floors and a basement
Numerous physical and operational deficiencies have been ~denbfied through at least four different
studies dabng as far back as 1987 and as most recent as 1995 The findings of the studies have
not changed s~gmficantly from one study to the next, except for the estimated cost of remedtat~on
Pubhc Works' employees have been very creabve ~n maximizing ex~sbng space w~th~n the ex~sbng
footpnnt, but certain operational issues cannot be overcome by moving a few wails Some offices
have recently been painted and reconfigured m an effort to ~mprove operations as much as
possible Some new furniture has been purchased to Improve the uhhzatlon the ex~sbng space
move fully All furniture purchases were made specifically to standardize appearance and
efficiency and to take advantage of the benefits of umversal configurabons through furniture design
All furniture ~s completely movable, if necessary w~thout a loss ~n funcbonahty
VILLAGE HALL
February 3, 2000

In 1995, the Vdlage Board set aside $1 mllhon for possible rehabditat~on of the Vdlage Hall
However, other commumty priorities required the V~llage Board to d~rect those funds toward street
reconstruction The funds were profit from the sale of property for the Clocktower development
An add~bonal space study was commissioned ~n 1995 to rewew the structure to ~dent~fy any
outstanding physical and operational deficiencies The study was completed and confirmed many
of the issues ~denbfled in previous studies
While no formal declaration has been made ~t has been understood that ~f a new Village Hall were
to be constructed It would remain ~n the downtown area Some rewew was undertaken of
alternative s~tes, but no senous evaluabon of possible sites was completed The most logical
location of a new Village Hall ~s the current Iocabon of the Semor Center so a combined facd~ty
could be maintained on a block that already contains the Mount Prospect Public L~brary Such a
campus would limit the amount of pubhc property to a m~nlmum and not adversely ~mpact other
taxing bodies' property tax revenues
Redevelopment Value of Current Vdlage Hall Site"
As downtown redevelopment has progressed over the last two years ~nterest ~n the redevelopment
potential of the current Village Hall s~te has dramabcally increased Along w~th the execution of a
redevelopment agreement ~n August 1999 with Norwood Builders for the "Fannie May/General
Store" s~te on Northwest Highway, the Vdlage also entered into a companion "option agreement"
with Norwood for the "right" to purchase and redevelop the Vdlage Hall site "should ~t become
available"
A threshold question that needs to be considered and answered ~n th~s larger d~scuss~on of the
status of Vdlage Hall ~s whether the s~te's h~ghest and best use ~s as a pubhc budding or as an
extension of the current TIF redevelopment effort W~th~n that d~scuss~on consideration should be
g~ven to the fiscal ~mpact of putting th~s property back on the tax rolls as well as the "rewtahz~ng"
benefits to be derived from additional new retail and residential construcbon Th~s cnt~cal first step
~n ~denbfy~ng the path the Vdlage w~ll eventually follow
Recent Activities'
In response to the V~llage Board's desire to ~nlbate d~scuss~ons of the future of the V~llage Hail, the
Vdlage Manager and Assistant Vdlage Manager met w~th representatives from the Mount Prospect
Pubhc L~brary and School D~stnct 57 to determine ~f there was any value ~n combining pubhc
facd~tates ~nto a s~ngle structure The d~scuss~ons were very frank and may yet yield some possible
co-location opportumt~es, however, ~t ~s premature to speculate whether a coqocat~on ~s a wable
opbon at th~s t~me One of the elements that has been ~dent~fied ~s the need for parking for the
Vdlage Hall and the L~brary so d~scussmns w~th the L~brary also ~ncluded the need for shared
parking ramp access
Staff also rewewed the ex~stmg operational and physical hm~tat~ons of the V~llage Hall and Sen~or
Center The summanes from the vanous departments are attached to th~s memorandum for your
review A summary of the past studies ~s ~ncluded for review in addition to the summary of the

outstanding budding code issues for each bu~id~ng A very prehm~nary cost model has been
drafted, but ~s of I~m~ted value unbl the costs for such a municipal fac~hty has been proposed
Recommendabons:
The Village Hall d~scuss~on is very much a 'chmken and egg' s~tuabon where ~t ~s d~fficult to
determine what should be the starting point In addition, there are numerous decision points that
need attention throughout the process In order to offer some sense of order to the decision phase
I would offer the following opbons
· Determine whether the V~Ilage Hall needs to be replaced
· Determine the redevelopment value of the current V~llage Hall s~te
· Determine whether the V~llage Hall should be combined w~th the Sen~or Center on the Sen~or
Center site
· Form a task force of staff and community members to d~scuss and ulbmately recommend the
preferred structural layout
· The task force should be charged w~th determ~mng the appropriate space uses and needs of
Village adm~n~strabon acbwtles and sen~or and/or youth act~v[bes w~th~n a s~ngle structure The
task force should also prowde ~nformabon for cons~derabon regarding the general appearance
of the structure and the municipal campus
· The task force should provide a written report outhmng their recommendations to the Vdlage
Board by May 1, 2000
A Vdlage Hall is typically the centerpiece in any community and gathering c~hzen Input ~n order to
determine how the structure w~[I compl~ment the commumty ~s a worthy endeavor

MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: WILLIAM J. COONEY JR., DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: JANUARY 6, 2000
SUBJECT: VILLAGE HALL OPERATIONAL DEFICIENCIES - COMMUNITY DEVELOPlVIENT
DEPARTMENT
The Community Development Department offers the following operational deficiencies related to the Village
Hall
· The environmental control systems are unbearable. We never know what the temperature will be in the office
and it often makes working effectively difficult
· There is no space for secure personal storage for those without offices
· There is no space to clean up (lockers, showers, non public washrooms) for those that may want to walk or
ride a bike to work Village staffhave to brush their teeth in a public washroom
· There is no training room (as at Public Safety) Training often ties up the lunch room for an entire week
· There are no first floor restrooms
· There is no ventilation in the basement washroom
· Mechanical equipment is very loud, disrupting commumeations in the Environmental Health Division
· Pubhe entry to the building drops residents into the heart of either the Finance Department or Building
Division. The is very disruptive to staff(any number of whom can be asked a question) and makes it difficult
for residents to find their way around the building A single point of entry with one person (or counter)
serving a reception function would be much better.
· There is no common area to display awards, art work and other items for pubhe display (a single entry area
would work well for this also)
· Village Board/ZBA chambers are in another building
· Village Board/ZBA chambers have no nearby meeting space (for example, residents will now meet at the
back of thc chambers after their case, disrupting the Board)
· There is not sufficient or appropriate cold storage for less commonly used files
· Lighting in the building work spaces is poor.
· The front door area (by the building clerks) is very much subject to the weather. It gets very cold in winter
and full of leaves in the fall
· There is little/no flexibility in phone and computer lines for changes in staffing or equipment
· There is not enough reproduction equipment for peak times (Board packet production) and the copiers are
remotely located
· The 2~ floor copier is in a pubhe area
· Having CD all on one floor would improve eommumeations between staff and their effectiveness
· The elevator has been known to get stuck between floors.
· There is very little meeting space What we have is o~en too small
· Access to larger or shared meeting areas (especially tn the Semor Center) not only have hmlted avatlabthty,
but reqmre time for break down and set up between acttvittes -thts also hmtts thetr avadab~hty
· There ts no separatton between staffand pubhc spaces tn most of the budding Th~s greatly reduces the
effectiveness
· We have meetmgs wtth property owners to dtscuss property mmntenance items tn rooms that have several
ex~stmg vtolat~ons~
· Village cars must be parked across town at the Pubhe Works facility, reqmrmg coordination for car ptck ups
at the beg[nh lng and end of the day and. meffic~en? use of staff t~me
We also made a l~st of other Vdlage Halls that would be worth vtsttmg to see how these matters were handled

SUMMARY OF VISIT TO ARLINGTON HEIGHTS AND NILES SENIOR CENTER
General comments:
N~les bruit-in much more space than they currently need for growth
N~les had a bright, colorful, airy feel
Arhngton Heights is on one floor, which ~s good N~les is on three floors, which ~s not
good Seniors don't want to go off of the mare floor
Arhngton Heights Semor Center ~s 42,000 sq feet
Lobby/Reception area:
N~les has a great open recepbon/Iobby area which is dedicated to th~s function It was
busy, cozy, efficient, friendly, yet gave staff more privacy.
N~les has sm hbrary nook ts off lobby.
Arlington Heights has beaubful lobby but It's too large. G~ves a cold feehng
Large Nurses Lending Closet w~th a slop sink ~s in a separate room off reception area

MEMORANDUM
TO: WILLIAM COONEY, AICP, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: WILLIAM G. GEORGE, CBO, BUILDING COMMISSIONER
DATE: JANUARY 5, 2000
SUBJECT: INSPECTION OF VILLAGE HALL, BUILDING ANALYSIS
As per your request, the Building D~ws~on ~nspected the Village Hall to determine the extent of the cx~stmg
deficiencxes Following ~s a brief summary of those deficiencies
A. Structural Review:
I revtewed our files on 12/30/99 and was unable to find the original building plans for the V~llage Hall Plans
for the second floor addition, done ~n 1964, show thc floor layout of the original basement and first floor
These were hmlted to just floor layouts w~th m~mmal details of the mechanical systems The full architectural
plans for the second floor indicate an upgrade on most of the mcchameal systems
I The exterior facade of the building shows that the brick veneer ~s fathng, th~s ~s apparent by thc m~ssmg
brick at numerous locat~ons Tlus failure ~s duc to moisture infiltration and expansion and eonS'action
caused by changes m the weather. The gramte stone panels are pulling away from the bmldmg structure
The stone panels are anchored m a stack bond, wbach as not a common practace These panels should be
supported wath a mm~mum of 4 (four) anchors per panel In addition, the panels should thc be rejected
w~th a soft sealant between the joints to allow for thermal and structural expansion The stone bnckwork
appears to be m sound condition, however ~t as recommended that at be tuckpomted to seal those areas that
show some deterioration of the mortar
2 Thc window glazing of the single pane glass throughout the bmldmg has all but &s~ntegr~ted allowing for
thc infiltration of exterior au:, wtuch reduces the efficiency of thc hcatang and coohng eqmpment There
~s also s~gmflcant moisture damage to the plaster soffits and sills Th~s ~s caused by thc by ~e abundant
amount of condensation dunng the ranter months
3 The existing elevator is undersized as per the ADA and the Illinois Handicap Acccssibihty requxrcments
The cab ~s currently 48-1/4" deep x 80-1/2 "wide Thc cab should be 51" deep vath a 54" clearance to
the door This would allow the free access of a wheelchair bound person for maneuvering purposes In
addition, the current elevator cab as not large enough to remove an individual In a stretcher ~n a medical
emergency Ex~st~ng storage of materials as prohlbated m the elevator cqmpment room, as as the use of
electrical condmt and computer cable m thc elevator shaft
4 The wood ladder to the roof scuttle xs m an Unsafe conditaun, ~t would not safely carry the weight of a
200-lb person The scuttle should bc constructed of non-combustible material
5 The west s~de stairwell does not meet code requirements Thc 1960 Natmnal Building Code reqmrcd that
this staxrwell be designed as a two-hour enclosure (Whach at was at the t~me the second floor addition was
built), w~th the numerous remodehng projects that have taken place th~s enclosure has since been
chmmatcd
Bmldlng Analysis January 5, 2000

B. Electrical Review:
The ,ncom,ng electrical service ts 120/208 volt. 3 phase, 4 wire system, fi.om an outside pad mounted
trans£ormer A secondary service enters the building in the southwest comer of. the building and
terminates tn the 800 amp main electrical switchboard It was noted in our inspection that the majority of'
the panelboards have limited availability for additional circuit breakers This is also true of the main
switchboard Recorded data indicates that the current use of over 650 amperes are being utll,zed of the
$00 ampere available Tins represents that over 80% of the power supplied to the building is being used,
it is recommended that tins figure be verified This recommendation is based on the current remodeling
being done to the building at tins time If ad&t~onal loads are being placed on this system the service
should be upgraded to a minimum of 1200 ampere capacity Dunng our inspection cloth covered
insulated w~re was noted in the main electrical panels, this should be removed as soon as possible
2. Maintenance of' the entire system needs to take place, it was noted in our inspection that due to the
remodeling projects a number of' knock out covers are missing fi.om the c¢lhng and exposed wall 1900
boxes There are numerous locations where the improper use of extension cords exists The use of
armored cable in areas such as the boiler room show signs of stress as the cables have separated fi.om
their connectors This can create a dangerous situation for anyone coming into contact with the armored
cable There are a number of locations that equipment has been over fused thus not allow~ng for breakers
to trip if'needed to do so
$. A serious item is that thc main electrical disconnect sw~tch for the building can not be fully closed due to
an obstruction of the sw~tch ann by conduit In essence, electrical power can not be shut off to the
building at any time because of this obstruction, creating a serious potential sa£ety issue for lndlwduals
working on the bulldmg's electrical serwce and for emergency response personnel This item should be
corrected lmme&at¢ly
4 The emergency hght~ng and power system Is prowded by a diesel powered 60KW, 120/208 volt, 3 phase,
4 w~re Budha Generator Tins generator is located ~n an enclosed building to the west of the main
bmldmg The age of tins generator along w~th the fact the manufacturer is now out of business makes tbas
unit obsolete $ohn Rosehach fi.om Public Works re&cares that the manual start and the running
condition are poor at best If this unit were to be replaced with a newer model the transfer sw~tch would
be required to be automatic and an emergency load determination be made so that certain systems could
be operational in the case of' external power failure
5 The interior lighting is mostly inefficient surface and recessed fluorescent hghttng on the 7nam floor
Recent remodeling projects have addressed tins problem m portions of' the Village Hall, however,
incandescent lighting is still utilized throughout the majority of the structure This is an inefficient type
of' lighting and is not recommended with the use of' computer equipment
6 The number of.power outlets or receptacles w~thm the building is insufficient for the needs or' the general
workforce, reqmring the extenslve use of. extenslon cords Branch clrcmts wrong ~s o£TW type, winch is
old, brittle and dangerous All TW wrong should bc removed and THIqlq-THW'N wrong should be
installed in its place John Rossbach has advised us that all circuit panelboards were upgraded eight years
ago, however the RHW feeder wires were never upgraded Tins should be done as soon as possible
because both the TW and RHW wires create potential fire hazards
Bmldmg Analys~s January 5, 2000

Plumbing Review:
The plumb:ng system needs to be upgraded and numerous areas are tn need ofrepmr It was noted m our
mspeetaon that several copper hnes tn the boiler room are excessively corroded and that the temperature
and pressure valve on the hot water tank does not terminate as per code (w~th:n 6" 0f the floor) The shut
off valve ~s not aecesstble to the hot water heater, tt :s located at 8' above the floor On the lawn
irrigation system, there needs to be an anta-s~phon device as per our Cross-Connection Ordinance. There
~s also no backflow dewce on the make-up water connection to the boiler
2 Both washroom sinks (men's and women's) on the second floor do not conform to the ADA or Ilhnms
Aecesstbfllty Standards, a wheelchair ind~wdual could not get under the current sink The toilet rooms m
the basement washrooms do not meet handtcapped standards for hawng handtcapped tmlets The water
coolers/dnnkang fountains located on the basement and first floor level are not handtcapped accesstble.
D. Mechanical Review:
1. The entire self-contained atr-condttaonmg/atr supply units that feed all levels have far exceeded thetr
serwee life The umts that feed all levels are no longer allowed for use vathm the Village and should be
replaced. The fresh atr intakes for ranted atr temperature reqmre that they be manually adjusted, flus can
be done at different tames dunng the day dependtng on outstde air condttmns Th~s can make some areas
of Village Hall cool and some areas hot, and stgmflcant manpower is reqmred to make those adjustments
The major maintenance of these umts reqmre an oumde contractor to do the work and wtth the age of the
eqmpmant parts are not only expensive, they can be hard to obtain The coohng unit, the eoohng tower ts
no longer code comphant and again parts are expenstve ff available
2 The boiler ts not only passed at's usefulness ~t now as begtnmng to rust beyond repmr, our mspectaon
shows that the bottom of the untt could go at any tame Some of the gauges that regulate the boiler are
mlssmg the actual gauge hands therefore, tt as not known at what temperature the umt is operating Thru
ts a serious condttaon Although an asbestos report was done some tame ago and remedtal work was done
thas needs to be addressed agatn, as there appears to be cracks m the sleeves that protect finable fibers
The bmler has a three-year-old ee~ficate, thts unit should have a new eertaficate each year for
comphanee w~th the State oflllmots

SUBJECT. INSPECTION OF SENIOR CENTER, BUILDING ANALYSIS
Starting with southern facing elevation, the sill stones through all the w~ndows needs to be tuckpolnted and ~t
appears that the gaskets around most of the windows are severely deteriorated and need to be replaced
Grade level receptacles to the exterior of the budding are not GFI, strongly recommend they be so
There are numerous holes and tears ~n the screening of the vnndows, they need to be replaced
Trim work around the building and facade'areas needs to be scraped and repalnted
System ram gutter - all the joints, couplings and comers need to be re-steeled, there ~s evidence of ~clng over
A cornerstone annual marker denotes date of construction as 1950 m the southeastern comer
On the eastern exposure of the bmldmg there are some bricks falling on the lower levels below the windows and
behind the bushes The vnndowsdl stones need to be re-tuckpolnted
All wood mm needs to be scraped and painted on the eastern elevation
Grade level receptacles should be GFI and there are two on either side of the main entrance
The roof gutter system to the northeast comer of the building has disconnected from the downspout and ~s free
from the bufldmg
Loolang at the northerly exposure of the building, there is a settlement crack at the northeast door extending from
the upper right-hand comer to the bnck line into the fagade The Siamese connection for the Fire Department for
the auto spnnkler system is missing a cap At the center of the building north elevation just betnnd the fire alarm
bell and strobe light is another harlme crack in the bnck facade
At the western exposure elevation there ~s an m&cat~on that the gutter system ~s lealang ~n behind the facade vnth
the formation of icicles &upping at this particular location all the way through across the fascia from behind the
gutter
Starting with the interior structure at the north door entrance to MPTV second floor atrium area appears to be
water damage, ceihng tiles are water stained and marked There ~s an indication of a hquld leak around the vent
Unable to gain entry to the boiler room at this time

In the kitchen area there Is evidence of an arced-out ground fault receptacle to the wall of the k,tchen s,nk It ~s
apparent from the w,nng methods used here over the years for remodeling and extending the systems electrically,
that there has been an extensive use of wxre mold At this juncture, at looks as though a lot of old wrong is left in
the bml&ng unused and needs to be pulled and cleared ~
Due to the type of heating system m the building there is massive imbalance of heat It can be extremely high m
one room and cool m mother The heating system as considered antiquated and mabalaneed Cold air return ducts
appear to be extremely duty and could be eonsldered a fire hazard The fluorescent lighting system throughout
the building as very old, using the old fill type ballast and lenses are brittle Strongly recommend that this hghtmg
system be changed to something more efficient and more easily maintained
The base t~un molding throughout the bmldmg as cracked and deteriorated and needs to be replaced It allows
water to penetrate into the masonry units wbaeh a ~s supposed, to ~e protecting
Electrical panels need to be re-pulled There as exqdenee of camera cloth raring for main feeders and also for
numerous double tabs and not very good wn'mg procedure to numerous panels throughout the building This
needs to be corrected ~ ~ ,
There as evidence of leakage where the addition meets the old structure The offices have a problem with water
lealong down the walls They installed a gutter to catch at but that as not a remedy or a solution to the problem
Typical electrical supplies for workstations and desks as severely inadequate There are multiple power strips and
extension cords used to support the desktop electromcs and msuffi¢lent number of receptacles System should be
upgraded The double-hung w~ndows an the older section of the Senior Center all need to be replaced There
have been numerous repants on the windows When they are lifted bagh enough, they actually fall out of the

If the building ~s renovated the following needs to be addressed
1 The building ~s not protected by automatic spnnklers or standpipes
2 The bmld~ng's fire alarm system does not contain aud~owsual dewces for ADA
reqmrements
3 The detector spacing is not in accordance wdh applicable codes A new fire alarm system

VILLAGE HALL RENOVATION REPORTS
FIRM: YAS/FISCHEL PARTNERSHIP
EVANSTON, ILLINOIS
· REPORT DATE: September 21, 1995
SUMMARY OF STUDY
Develop a building program. This was achieved by interviewing key staff members and using
past experience/rules of thumb for sunilar building types The end product was a Program Area
Summary in square feet and a functional spatial relationships diagram which was created as an
'hdealized" diagram (I~s diagram showed that the building ftmetioned best on 1 or 2 levels )
Simultaneously, the existing site was analyzed for external site influences and possible bmldmg
expansion locations
Prepare functional concept options This was aecomphshed by analyzang the previously
developed building program together voth the three-level existing building; in this procedure,
four functional concept options were created. During the creation of the concept options,
"brainstorming" meetings were held with village staff and our mechanical, plumbing and
electrical engineers
· Analyze the existing architectural, stmeturai, mechanical and electrical bmldmg systems.
· Prepare a building code analysis
Review building options:
Renovate the cresting Village Hall facility.
· Relocate the Village Hall to other emsting office space.
· Build a new Village Hall on the current site, or a new, similar site
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND COST ESTIMATES
1. Renovating the existing building is feasible; the program developed in this report works
within the available area of the cresting facihty with mimmal additions for vestibules Costs
for this alternative, which include complete interior and major exterior renovations and site
work, are approximately $120.00 per square foot. The costs are high because of the nature of
the work: This is a "gut" renovalaorb with complete replacement of mechanical and electrical
systems per current codes, as well as major exterior renovation This assumes all work
would be completed in one phase of work Phasing work on the project would be more
expensive
Renovation of existing Village Hall
$123 66/sfx 14,812 sf= $1,836,117 00
2 Relocating the Village Hall to leased space is an option, it will require the smallest
expenditure of capital funds, but may have a munmal image as the center of Mount Prospect
village government Costs for flus alternative are a range of $35 000 to $40.00 per square
foot for interior bufldout only
Tenant btuldout associated v~th leasing office space $40 00/sf x 15,000 sf =
$600,000.00 plus yearly rent of $240,000 00+/-, based on a long-term lease
$16 00/sr.
3 Constructing a new Village Hall on the current site or on a new one is a viable opUon,
considenng the comparable costs required to renovate the existing faeihty. A new facility,
would also allow the Village of Mount Prospect to construct a faeihty which would meet
optimum program requirements Of function and proxtmity relatlonstups of departments and
divisions within Village government Tins alternative would also allow the most design
freedom in design of a faeihty in order to match the image of what the Village of Mount
Prospect believes it should represent to the eommunlty. Costs for flus alternative are a range
orS110 00 to $130 00 per square foot
Build a new Village Hall:
Range orS110 00 to $130 00/slx 18,000
$1,980,000 00 - $2,340 00 00
4 Furniture, Furnishings, and Equipment costs, based on systems furniture for open office
workstalaons and closed offices and conference rooms, is anticipated to be approximately
$100,000.00 - $125,000 00
5. Items have been identxfied that relate to Building Code requirements These items, and their
associated costs, are as follows'
Enclose east stmr at second floor plan $2,179 00
Toilet rooms (~ basement) renovation for ADA eomphanee $32,726 00
Plumbing fixtures and piping $17,500 00
Partitaons, ceramic tile, toilet access' $15,226.00
Elevator cab replacement for ADA compliance $I 5,000.00
Note Current elevator cab sxze is 4'-0" deep, which ts less than the requrred cab size of 4'-4" depth per ADA
It appears that the elevator shat~ is sufficiently large to accommodate the required cab s~ze m comphance with
ADA reqmrements
Mechanical Chiller. Change system from wateroeooled to ar-cooled. $80,000 O0
Fare ProtectlordSpnnklers $29,624 00
Electrical Fire Alarm Systems $17,250 00
Subtotal $176,779.00
Contingencies $70,316 00

This condition report is a result of consistent complaints from personnel worlang in this building
The complaints ranged from locally hot and cold spots in the general office area on the first floor
and draf~ conditions in the basement, to cold down drafts from windows on the second floor.
This report will prowde Vtilage management with aitemattve solutions, in both a short and long-
term scope, to ehmlnate temperature control problems. The report shall aiso include a cost
estimate for each solution and possible complications of implementing such aitematives
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND COST ES'~IMATES
The Village Hail for the Village of Mount Prospect has undergone interior alterations from the
iultiai construction originally designed as a bank, the building now functions as an office center
for the administrative staff of the Village. The building, originally designed to have adding
machines, now contains computers, copiers, plotters, microwaves and printers. The building has
approximately 15,000 square feet of floor area on three levels, including a basement. The total
refrigeration load is 50 tons or 300 square feet per ton This is a high value when compared to
modem buildmgs.
The building suffers from temperature control problems that are caused by improper zone control
zone control provides different HVAC conditions to each building exposure or a combination of
exposures ns the sun travels from east to west during the day To compound the problem, the
buildmg's I-IVAC equipment, including the boiler, oar supply umts, cooling tower and system
pumps, is old and close to the end of its service life.
The %llage of Mount Prospect can Implement short-term alterations to alleviate some of the
persastent problems and provide better comfort for the occupants For a long-term outlook an use
of the building, the Village would need to provide ~ng-term alterataons Estimates of such
alterations are as follows
Short-Term Alterations
Short-term alterations can be implemented to improve the conditions and control of local
temperatures at local zones However, it Is important to note that these modifications are only a
temporary solutaon to symptoms of a forthcomang problem Tlus problem is having to replace
the major equipment. An estimate of these costs 1f$14,740
Long-Term Alterations .. ,~ ~
Long-term alterations are highly dependent on whether or not the Village of Mount Prospect
intends to maintain occupancy in this building and for how long. If the Village does plan to
maintain occupancy in this builchng and the Village plans to stay for 10 to 20 years, serious
consideration must be made to replacing the existing units in the basement
Another issue is energy. Consider that the basement umts are approximately 30 years old These
mats can be r'eplaeed with more energy-efficient mlits and the controls modafied so that maid or
cold outside air can be used for 100% 'free' cooling when outdoor temperature is below 65°F.
Our recommendation ~s that the Village of Mount Prospect should plan the removal of the
existing boiler and air-handling units in the basement and replace these with modem, more
efficient units that will have a service life of 20 years or more. The major obstacle vath tlus plan
is that the mats are "boxed" in the basement.
Alternate #1
Replacing the equipment in the basement and the cooling tower voth the same
type 9f system: $61,008
Alternate #2
Replacing the equipment in the basement and the cooling tower with mr-cooled
condenser. $62,088
The options are clear, and the decisaon re.sts with the Village of Mount Prospect

FIRM: HANSCOMB ASSOCIATES, INC
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
REPORT DATE: May 15, 1989
SUMMARY OF STUDY
Using Teng & Associates' mechanical and electrical reports, Hanseomb was asked to prepare a
concept esttmate to correct all deficiencies in the Village Hall. Hanscomb obtmned informatmn
on this proposed project through a meeting held with Teng on May 9, 1989 and through
telephone conversations with Teng and various Village personnel
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND COST ESTIMATES
For years, staff members in the Village Hall have complained about temperature control in this
building Since this HVAC equipment was installed over 25 years ago, the use of the building
has changed. There are now different walls, which impede the flow of air, and the system was
never rezoned to reflect the changes Also, the office equipment such as computers, elee~e
typewriters, etc. now emit more heat, which was never compensated for ~n the cooling system
Teng & ~ssociaies has recommended that the Village plan the removal of the existing boiler and
air-handling unit in the basement and replace them with more modem and efficient units that vnll
have a service life of 20 years or more.
Most of the equipment in the building is obsolete and has served its useful life We are
recommending the Village consider this long-term program intended to correct all deficiencies.
These are as follows:
Substructure work $ 16,731
Superstructure work 6,241
Exterior doors and windows 128,261
Interior construction 58,909
I-IVAC mechanical 164,470
Electrical total 95,437
Gen. design and construction contingency 216,708
Estimated project subtotal $ 686,757
The following items are excluded from the estimates
5
1 Professional consultant's fee (est $86,290)
2 Additional escalation costs if not started by fourth quarter 1989 (Suggested start date by
March 1990, with completion by September 1990 )
3 Roof repairs - unknown at this t~me (Will have rooftop umts w~th openings for dtlctwork
and strengthemng )
4. Exterior closure walls (other than replacement windows) - unknown at tlus time, pending
detailed design work.
5 Asbestos removal (It is known there is asbestos around some of the ductwork on the flint
floor Until the ceihng is removed, ,?t would be difficult to project quantities and removal
costs, projected to be sigmficant ) '
6 Furmture, furnishings or eqmpment (not consldenng any replacements as part of the
estimate).
7.~ Cmpets - To replace 10 to ~5-year-old carpeting on the first floor and basement, estimated
cost is $22,434 This does not consider replacement of carpeting on the second floor
8 Upgrades to any bmldmg pubhc address, telephone, or electrical service and d~stnbution
should consider new electrical power distribution (in the older section of the building, there
is a substantial amount of cloth-coated w~re that ~s becoming brittle and should be replaced
Also, the erdsting breakers are becormng very difficult to replace due to their obsolescence
Project $30,000 min. for this work.)
9. Upgrades to plumbing and install fire protection systems Est cost $80,000
10. Temporary office space to allow complete turnover for contractor's work. ~ (P~'oje~cted to cost
$33,000 for trailer occupancy in parking lot for six months )

ELGIN, ILLINOIS
REPORT DATE: January, 1987
SUMMARY OF STUDY
The Village of Mount Prospect has commissioned Dahlquist and Lutzow, Arehiteets to give
direction to a long-range renovation program specifically related to the Vdlage Hall. The purpose
of this study is to identify areas of concern related to the efficient day-to-day functioning of this
facility.
It is recognized that, as Village services continue to grow, this building may not be able to house
the offices as they presently do Our goal is to identify areas which should be addressed,
specifically relating to safety, comfort, and efficient use of space until a more substantaal
building program could be put in place. In addmon, s~te issues such as parking were considered
outside the scope of this study. The intent would be that interim repairs will allow the Village to
function in a more efficient manner and add to the inherent value of the bmldmg
The scope of our rewew includes
1. An architectural analysis of the building in terms of smtabllity of meeting departmental
needs
2. An analysis of the existing plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems
3. An analysis of the bmldmg envelopes related to construction
4 A recommended plan of action pdont~zlng rehabilitation work It would be mtended that the
prioritizing will assist the Village in identifying key areas where to spend lunited funds.
The facility was examined in terms of function, obvious maintenance requirements, hfe safety
code deficiencies, and suitability of use Being a broad-scoped study, though, minute details
were not examined
It was the intention of this study to provide as comprehensive an analysis as possible. It should
be recognized that only through exhaustive analysis (beyond the scope of this study) and
construction document b~dding, can a final cost of rehabihtation be determined. However, every
effort has been made to include ~tems of reqmred work, possible solutions, rehabilitation costs,
and prioritizing of work
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND COST ESTIMATES
It appears that this braiding can be effectively remodeled to serve the V~llage of Mount Prospect
for many years to come. Some of the work suggested can be accomphshed by Vdlage of Mount
Prospect staff, however, some is mom comphcated--requmng architectural/engineering anput
The phasing of improvements should be ~n a logical sequence to rmmmize reworking of recently
constructed systems or structure The goal in restructunng of spacml relatmnslups should reflect
the idea of consohdat~on of related functaons and needs which are presently separated Health,
safety, welfare, and energy conservataon concerns should be of highest priority. Miscellaneous
bulldang mmntenance should be the next priority The lowest priority should be decorating-
related work.
Some of the work could be done by the Public Works staff, including hght demohtmn, palntang,
and mascellaneous construction such ~ shelvmg, etc
The issues which should be addressed an an overall remodehng effort should be as follows, with
lughest priorities hsted first
I. The stabilization of the structure--exterior walls and roof. The exterior must be weathert~ght
and stmcturslly sound prior to anterior maprovements, whxch could be damaged if the exterior
skin is not weathert~ght
2 The remodelmg efforts should work toward a long-range goal of consohdatang departments
The related proximataes should be addressed relative to function, safety, and communicataon
3 A part of the above remodehng efforts should include the rewsaon of plumbang/
mechanical/electrical systems to create a comfortable space to work m, with the proper
electrical requirements to support the bulldmg during typical day-to-day operations and when
the emergency power is m use
4. Once the walls are itl place, interior finishes should be addressed These would include
carpeting, drapery, new ceilings, repalntmg, and rmscellaneous repairs
5 A long-term cons~deratmn would be providang for future additions to amprove the overall
funetaon of the bmldang.
The Village should estabhsh a policy relatave to bringing ttus bmldmg up to a level of
handicapped accessibfiaty. This pohcy affects remodeling efforts relatave to wall placement
In terms of pnonttzing short-term versus long-term projects, consider a structuring of
improvements as lasted below. Tins is obviously subject to available funds (No attempt has
been made to prioritize individual line items listed below )

SUBJ-ECT-' DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF LIBRARY BLOCK SITE FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW VILLAGE
Per your request, I have prepared a brief summary of sate cond~tions of the south half of the "library block" and its
development potential for future conslruction of a new Vdlage Hall Staff made estnnates of property size from
Sldwell maps and aerial photos Esttmates of space requirements were taken from previous space studies Estmaates
of land requirements for the construction of braidings were taken bom a sketch plan of the site prepared by Planning
D~vision Staff
Ex~st~ng Condit~ons
The existing Village Hall building contains approximately 15,000 square feet of gross floor area The building is
served by 62 spaces m the adjacent parking lot. Village Hall employees have also had access to 13 additional spaces
on the old Fanny May site
The existing Senior Center/Television Services building contains approramately 11,000 square feet of gross floor area
The budding has a total of 41 parking spaces and access to an additional 54 spaces m the public lot at the northeast
comer of Busse and Mare
The library now contains approramately 50,000 square feet of building area and has 162 parking spaces
There are155 erastmg spaces m the Bank One lot on the east side of Emerson Street
Space available
The block bounded by Emerson Street, Busse Avenue, and the south side of the library building is an area of
approxunately 304 feet (north to south) by 311 feet (east to west) or 94,240 square feet (2 16 acres) When the
property is redeveloped, the Village will be required to dedicate 17 feet from the west side of the property to complete
the Mare Street right-of-way That will leave a net area of 294 feet by 304 feet or 89,376 square feet (2 05acres)
Future Development
Construction would consist of a 40,000-45,000 square foot simeture to house Village Hall, Semor Center, and
Television Services The braiding would be a two-story structure, w~th a basement A four-level parking structure
serving the braiding, the library, and other downtown uses would be adjacent to the structure A portion of the site
would be reserved for a "Village Green" area

Future Parking Requirements ' ~ ~ - ~ ~ ~
A 45,000 square foot (two-story, w,th basement) structure i~ the 135 d(stnct would hav~ a' Zoning Code parking
requirement of 174 spaces Assuming a future expansion of the ltbrary to 100,000 square feet, the library would have a
parking requirement of 200 spaces Thus, the total requa'ed parking for the two structures would be 374 spaces
Future townhouse development where the Bank One parking lot ~ currently located will require allocat,on of some
spaces in the parking deck for bank parking The construction would also ehminate an eyastmg, 54-space pubhc
parking lot
The proposed development would be served by 'a parking s~ueture located between the ex~tmg hbrary and the new
Village Hall structure A four-level structure (three aboveground and 1 underground) containing 425 spaces
(including 13 surface spaces) would take up approyamately 270' X 130' (35,100) o,fthe, site area~ ,
Building S~te and Vi!!~ooe Green
A two-story Vdlage Hall building with a basement containing 45,000 square feet officer area would requn'e a building
footpnnt of approximately 15,000 to 20,000 square feet Allowing for space requ~ed for parking and budding area, an
area of appmxanately 15,000 square feet ofopan space would remain for a Vdlage Green

DATE JANUARY 6, 2000
SUBJECT. PROPERTY TAX IMPLICATIONS OF VILLAGE HALL SITE
REDEVELOPMENT
You requested that I prepare an analysts of the property tax imphcatlons should the Vdlage Board
dec,de to construct a new Village Hall/Senior Center and redevelop the current Village Hail site
To perform such an analysis, certain assumptions have to be made regarding tax rates, assessed vaiues
and the nature of the redevelopment project Community Development D~rector Cooney suggested I
base my analysis on the current Village Hall site being redeveloped as 40 condominiums and 16,000
square feet ofcommerciai space
There are two mann components to the analysis We need to estimate how much property tax revenues
would be generated by the redevelopment of the current V~llage Hall site, but wi aiso must estimate
the amount of property taxes that will be lost due to the Village's acquisition of the doctor's office
building next to the Senior Center
Prooertv Ta'x~s Generated from Redevelopment
For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the forty condonuniums will be completed in the years 2003
and 2004 and they will have an average sales price of $210,000 Upon their completion in the tax levy
year 2004, we are estimating the residentiai units will have a totai equahzed assessed vaiue (E_AV) of
$1,546,563 As for the commerciai property, we are estimating the EAV to be $957,528 The totai
projected 2004 EAV for both the commerciai space and the residential units is $2,504,091. We
estimate the tax rate in 2004 to be $9.505, thereby generating totai taxes of $238,025 The Village's
share of the totai taxes generated is estimated at $22,375 per year
Property Taxes No Longer Received from Doctor's Office Buildlno
The 1998 EAV of the doctor's office building was $336,767 The totai taxes paid on the property for
the 1998 levy was $32,188 For the 2004 levy year, we are projecting the doctor's office property will
have an EAV of $392,805, and will pay total taxes in the amount of $37,338 The Village's share of
the total taxes paid on the doctor's office property is estimated at $3,510
Implications of Tax Increment Financine District
Both the current Village Hall and the Doctor's Office building are in the Village's tax increment
financing district, which will not expire until 2008 Of the total taxes paid by the Doctor's Office, a
little over $4,000 is being distributed to ail affected taxing bodies each year The balance is being
eposited into the Village's Downtown Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing Fund Untd the year
2009, 100% of the property taxes generated by the Village Hall redevelopment project would go into
the Village's TIF Fund
Summary of Property Tax Implication~
The following table summarizes the projected property taxes for the Doctor's Building and the
redeveloped Village Hall project for the tax levy year 2004

D~stnbuted Taxes $ 42,663 $271 ~971 $229,308
Conclusion
The above tables show all of the affected taxing bodies wall receive higher propeCt7 tax revenues fi.om
the redevelopment of the current Village Hall stte An addttional $200,000 of property taxes will be
generated beginning in 2004, with the amount growing shghtly each year thereafter However, it
should be pointed out that this alone is not justification for constructing a_ new Village I-lall/Se_nior
Center. Of the $200,000 or so in additional property taxes per year, the Village's share will be~
somewhere near $20,000, far less than annual debt service requirements related to financing a new
%llage Hall/Senior Center
