Ms. Ackerman presented her concerns regarding violations of the Village code that routinely
occur at her apartment complex and areas in close proximity to the complex. Her concerns
included the frequent congregation of teens/children, curfew violations and parking in the fire
lanes. Ms. Ackerman thinks the building association should be accountable for unacceptable

continue enforcement of the law.
Ms. Ackerman thanked the Village Board for the opportunity to share her concerns.

NEW BUSINESS
Mayor Wilks presented a resolution in support of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., 580
Slawin Court making application for Cook County Class 6b tax abatement.
Community Development Director William Cooney stated the property, located within the
Kensington Business, is owned by First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. The property has been
vacant for over two (2) years and qualifies for the Class 6b designation. (The previous tenant
relocated.)
First Industrial Trust is requesting the Class 6b abatement so they can competitively recruit
prospective tenants for the property. It is estimated that the abatement would reduce the
amount of property tax per square foot from $5.87 to $2.35 for this property; they are
competing against other industrial buildings in the market that have tax rates below $2 per
square foot, putting them at a competitive disadvantage.
First Industrial Realty Trust was represented by Mr. Locallo and Mr. Farace, Amari & Locallo
Law Offices. In requesting the Village Board's approval of the Class 6b resolution, Mr.
Locallo stated the subject property would generate more real estate tax revenue with the
Class 6b than if the property were to remain vacant.
In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Cooney reviewed the Cook County
Class 6b vacancy requirements, and the twelve (12) year tax schedule for businesses with
the Class 6b designation.
Villaae Board Discussion/Comments
· Class 6b is a "but for" inducement; without tax abatement would be difficult to occupy
property to keep business in Cook County.
· Approval of Class 6b allows net gain to general tax bill.
· Granting approval creates job.
· Village proactive in bringing in businesses; good for the community.
Trustee Po lit, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved for approval of Resolution 10 -10:

MOBILE COLUMN
LIFTING SYSTEMS
Mr. James Breitzman, Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent, presented staffs request and
recommendation for the purchase of two (2) new mobile column lift systems in an amount not
to exceed $65,950.64.
Mr. Breitzman stated to properly maintain Village fire equipment the Public Works
Department needs a safe way to lift the various apparatus and vehicles. And, the most
efficient way to lift this equipment is with a mobile lifting system; there are two (2) flat work
bays for fire equipment. He noted the mobile lifting systems are also more cost effective
than in-ground hoists which cost approximately $100,000 each.
Staff did extensive research of the mobile lifting systems, including demonstrations, to
ensure the systems would accommodate all the equipment.
In reviewing the bids received Mr. Breitzman stated the lowest bidder did not meet
specifications. The Public Works bid specified a low friction ball-screw lift design and the low
bidder submittal was for a hydraulic lift system.
The second lowest bidder, Automotive Resources, Inc. did comply with all bid specifications
and the demonstration of their system revealed a very high degree of satisfaction from Public
Works mechanics and other users.
Staff recommend approval of the lowest qualified bid for the purchase of two (2) new mobile
column lift systems as submitted by Automotive Resources, Inc. in an amount not exceed
$65,950.64.
In response to questions from the Village Board, Mr. Breitzman provided the following:
· Cost benefit to purchase directly from manufacturer vs. local dealer.
· Bid requires 24 hour response time and 1 day parts replacement; local support.
· 5 year warranty component and electrical; lifetime training.
Public Comments
Ms. Joyce Ackerman
In consideration of today's economy Ms. Ackerman questioned how long the company had
been in business, certification of the lifts and product warranty.
Mr. Breitzman responded the company has been in business a long time and has a solid
history with other users, the lifts are certified and bid includes labor and parts warranty.
Trustee Juracek, seconded by Trustee Pol it, moved for approval of request to accept the
lowest qualified bid for mobile column lifting systems in an amount not to exceed $65,950.64.

Mayor Wilks stated the mission of the Solid Waste Commission, established in the late
1980's, had been accomplished, and the Commission has essentially been inactive since the
Village implemented the curbside toter system and commercial solid waste program. She
discussed the Commission's function with the current Chair, Dr. George Luteri and it was felt
the Commission could be dissolved. The Solid Waste Commission is credited with the Village
taking the lead in municipal waste reduction and serving as an example to other communities
with its residential curbside recycling program.
In addressing the Village Board, Dr. Luteri recognized current and former members who
were instrumental in the development and implementation of the Village's solid waste
management plan. He thanked Mr. Ken Westlake for serving as Commission Chair for
many years and also recognized Trustee Hoefert and Trustee Polit for serving on the
Commission in its early stage. It was noted that former Trustee Tim Corcoran was also one
of the first members appointed to the Commission.
Noting the significant role the Commission members played in shaping the Village's highly
successful solid waste program, each of the Village Board members expressed their
appreciation to Dr. Luteri and the current and formers members of the Solid Waste
Commission.

the Village to reserve its 2010 private activity bond volume cap for future use.
Finance Director Dave Erb presented background information including the IRS Code which
allows state and local governments to issue tax-exempt debt for the benefit of certain
qualified private development projects. The Village has a total of $4,799,970 of private
activity bond volume cap which must be reserved by April 30, 2010 or the money will be
transferred to the State of Illinois. The Village can choose to hold onto the volume cap after
it is reserved until a project is identified. The cap may also be carried over for up to three
years depending on the type of project being considered; at this time there are no projects
placing a request on the Village's volume cap. Staff recommend the Village Board adopt the

In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Erb provided the following:
· It has become common for municipalities to transfer their unused volume cap to other
municipalities in exchange for a fee; typically 1 to 2%. However, due to lack of demand
the Village has not done this for several years. In 2006 the Village sold $1 million at 1%.
· As there has not been a demand over the last few years the Village money has been
transferred to benefit the City of Auoroa's first-time homebuyer program.
