Property Acquisition/Disposition
The subject matter for discussion was the Village's desire to swap and/or sell certain
Village-owned parcels for certain parcels owned by Northwest Electric. The purpose of
this swap and/or sale would be to facilitate a redevelopment of th~ Northwest Electric
facility. The Village Board met to discuss the parametersOf discussions with the owners
of Northwest Electric. It was agreed that issues relating to the redevelopment concept
would not be discussed in Closed Session. Only matters relating to the property and
issues which related to its value would be discussed.
At 10:42 p.m., Tom and Dennis Reindl, owners of Northwest Electric, and Keith
Youngquist, their architect, entered the Closed Session.
. .
The Reindls passed out a written proposal which covered not only their proposed
redevelopment but also their offer to swap properties with the Village. Tom Reindl
provided the Board members with a general overview of the Site Plan as it related to the
Village-owned parcels and the Plan's impact on same.
There was a general discussion on what Northwest Electric would like to see from the
Village in terms of property and/or other monetary assistance in facilitating their
redevelopment plan. It was noted that the Village property totalled more square footage
than the Northwest Electric property. The Reindls were amenable to placing a value on
the excess property. The Reindls also stated they would like to see some assistance
from the Village for public/private improvements paid for through TIF incremental income.
The Village Board expressed a strong desire to tie a specific time-line to the
improvements as a condition of the land swap.
It was agreed by all parties that further discussion needed to wait until a full review of the
redevelopment concept could be undertaken. A tentative date of March 21 was set for
a public discussion regarding the proposed redevelopment plans.

At 11:18 p.m., Messrs. Reindl and Youngquist I~ft the Executive Session.
The Village Board continued general discussion to establish whether the Board wish to
engage in further negotiations with the Reindls. Overall, the Board wished to continue
discussions. Trustees Wilks, Clowes and Hendricks generally supported the Northwest
Electric concept. Trustees Skowron, Hoefert and Corcoran were more hesitant and
wanted to make sure that any redevelopment proposal did not adversely impact future
redevelopment opportunities for this block.
It was agreed that further discussion would await a review of the redevelopment plan.
Personnel
The Village Manager reviewed with Board members his decision to appoint Mr. Glen
Andler as the new Public Works Director effective June 1, 1995. Based upon his review
and judgment, Mr. Janonis indicated that Mr. Andler was the best candidate for the job.
After brief discussion among Board members, there was unanimous agreement regarding
the Manager's decision.
The Closed Session ended at 12:04 a.m.
