lW&lI~ ..3-~ -zW1c.)
The Closed Session was called to order at 9:35 p.m. by Mayor Farley, in the second floor
conference room of the Village Hall at 100 South Emerson. The purpose of the Closed Session was
to discuss Land Acquisition. Present were: Trustees Timothy Corcoran, Paul Hoefert, Michaele
Skowron, Irvana Wilks and Michael Zade!. Absent from the Closed Session was Trustee Richard
Lohrstorfer. Staff present included: Village Manager Michael Janonis, Assistant Village Manager
David Strahl, Director of Community Development Bill Cooney and Finance Director Doug Ellsworth.
Also in attendance were Dave Olson and Dan Poulfus of W.B. Olson.
Land ACQuisition
Library Discussion
Village Manager Janonis summarized his last best offer that he has proposed to the Library which
includes a $200,000 stipend inclusive of all permit fees for their project. He noted that the permit
fees were not originally projected in the Library for their construction project. He also stated the
Village has offered to remove the underground fuel tank and stated that storm water detention would
be taken care of as part of any street work. He stated the Library has accepted the Village's offer
but wants assurances that the Village Board does not back out of the project due to the additional
costs associated with completing the project. The Library's concern centers on the cost associated
with redesign once the Deck location has been set. Mr. Janonis stated that he had suggested that
the Village would restore the property in its former state if the Village were to walk away from the
project altogether.
It was also suggested that a date certain to start the project and finish would be necessary in
addition to any force majeure clause.
Consensus of the Village Board was to accept the tentative agreement with the Library and
construct the Parking Deck in between the Library and Village Hall as previously designed.
Villaqe Hall Discussion
There was an extensive discussion regarding the projected cost of new construction and the
projected cost for other options including Bank One.
Dave Olson from W.B. Olson suggested that the Village would incur expenses for purchase and
rehabilitation under any option. He also stated that he feels the projected budgets for the Parking
Deck and the Village Hall are good numbers but would need to have the flexibility for value
engineering in order to address and/or control costs as necessary.
Village Manager Janonis suggested the Board allow a $500,000 contingency out of fund balance
since there is virtually no contingency available in the current project as it is constituted currently.
Consensus of the Village Board was not to pursue purchasing the Bank one building at this
time and to continue the Village Hall project as previously suggested and restart the project
at this time.
Dave Olson, Dan Poulfus, Bill Cooney and Doug Ellsworth were excused at this time.
Litiaation
Village Manager Janonis stated that he has met with the Police Officers to outline the parameters of
the Romero Settlement and he received very little feedback and the Officers generally accepted the
Village's position on the Case. He stated the DOJ Agreement negotiations continue to progress and
anticipate those being wrapped up within the next few weeks.
He also stated that the Egebergh Case has been delayed until May 2003 due to the Federal Judge
taking the next six months for vacation in Florida.
Assistant Village Manager David Strahl was excused at 11 :05 p.m.
Personnel
Mayor Farley suggested that due to the lateness of the hour, the Manager's annual review be
delayed to a future meeting. The Trustees concurred.
There was no further business and the Closed Session adjourned at 11 :15 p.m.
