Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance amending Chapter 18 of the
Village Code of Mount Prospect. This ordinance amends Section 2006 of "Schedule VI -No
AMEND CHAPTER Parking Any Time" of Chapter 18 by removing the parking prohibition signs along Helena
18 (TRAFFIC) OF Avenue between Haven Street and Lincoln Street. The Safety Commission recommended
THE VILLAGE CODE approval by a vote of 8 -0.
Project Engineer Matt Lawrie presented background information stating currently there are
two (2) parking ordinances for Helena Avenue that overlap one another. One prohibits
parking at all times along both sides of Helena Avenue between Haven Street and Lincoln
Street. The other prohibits parking at all times along both sides of Helena Avenue for the
first 360' south of Lincoln Street. Approximately ten (10) years ago the street was widened
so the entire block is now a standard 31' wide neighborhood street. At that time parking
prohibition signs on the east side of the street were removed and not replaced. Two (2)
signs on the west side of the street were left and are currently in place today. A parking
ordinance review which is typically done with road widening projects was not done.
Recently, the Village received an inquiry from a resident on Helena Avenue about removing
the remaining signs. No other local streets of similar width in the neighborhood prohibit on-
street parking. Repealing the ordinance would allow residents the benefit of on- street
parking and should not impact access of emergency or other residential service vehicles.
Mr. Lawrie reviewed the notification process to residents and stated of the 16 properties
along the block the Village received comments from nine (9); eight (8) were in support of on-
street parking and one (1) requested that the parking prohibition remain.
By an 8 -0 vote, the Safety Commission recommended the removal of parking prohibition
signs along Helena Avenue between Haven Street and Lincoln Street.
In response to questions from the Village Board, Mr. Lawrie stated that staff typically will
review traffic regulations as part of a street maintenance program. He indicated it is not
necessary for residents to raise issue; Helena Avenue request is not typical.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to waive the rule requiring two (2)
readings of an ordinance:

Mayor Wilks presented a resolution opposing Cook County's installation and operation of red
OPPOSE light cameras in the Village of Mount Prospect. This resolution authorizes the Village of
INSTALLATION OF Mount Prospect to opt -out of Cook County's red light traffic safety system for all county
RED LIGHT controlled intersections within the Village's corporate boundaries.
CAMERAS
Mayor Wilks stated Cook County Commissioner Timothy Schneider who advocated on behalf
of municipalities to opt out of the red light camera program was in attendance.
Village Manager Mike Janonis provided background information including the Village's
decision not to pursue the red -light camera program when it became available a few years
ago. When Cook County decided to pursue installation of the red -light cameras at municipal
intersections the Village Board again expressed their opposition to the program and directed
staff to take action.
Prior to staff action, Cook County Commissioner Schneider stepped in on behalf of the
municipalities. Through his efforts municipalities now have the ability to opt -out of the
County's red -light traffic safety system.
Commissioner Schneider then provided background information and his opposition to the
County's original plan to install red -light cameras. He stated the County's initial plan had
passed because many of his colleagues believed the cameras would be placed in
unincorporated areas. Learning many of the red -light cameras would be placed in
incorporated areas, he was able to gain enough colleague support for inclusion of an "opt -
out" provision for municipalities. Commissioner Schneider considered the effort to implement
the County program to be revenue driven rather than for public safety. He believes residents
are over -taxed and remains a strong advocate of local governments.
Village Board Comments
• Red -light program is another tax — elected officials who support program are not
representing what residents want
• Cameras are wrong
• Red -light cameras are safety hazards — drivers paying more attention to where cameras
are placed then traffic
• If revenue from red -light cameras go away — cameras go away; drivers need to stop at
red lights (safety issue)
• Red -light cameras "gotcha law" - revenue generated.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Juracek moved to approve Resolution No. 27 -10:

OF RED LIGHT CAMERAS IN THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT

of the Village of Mount Prospect
Mayor Wilks and the Village Board thanked Commissioner Schneider for his efforts on behalf
of the municipalities and for attending the meeting. Mayor Wilks stated a certified copy of
the resolution would be sent to the Cook County Board of Commissioners.
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance amending Chapter 7 (Sign
AMEND CHAPTER 7 Regulations) of the Village Code. This ordinance amends Chapter 7, Section 205 "Exempt
(SIGN Signs" F. "Political" to comply with Public Act 96 -904 which prohibits time limitations for the
REGULATONS) OF display of political campaign signs.
THE VILLAGE
CODE) Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Juracek moved to waive the rule requiring two (2)
readings of an ordinance. [No vote was called.]
Mayor Wilks stated the ordinance removes the time limit for displaying political signs but if
the Village Board wanted to include additional regulations such as the prohibition of political
signs on public right -of -way, in this section of the code, the ordinance could be amended.
Trustee Polit stated he understood Village regulations regarding removal of the political signs
addressed the litter issue and helped minimize Village costs; costs associated with Village
staff having to remove signs. He requested further explanation of the intent and extent of the
removal of the time restriction impact of the new law. Can an unlimited number of political(s)
signs be left on property for years at time.
Village Manager Janonis provided additional information including:
• The new law pre -empts Home Rule Authority and clearly prohibits any time restrictions
on the placement of political signs on residential property.
• Village can still regulate the size of political signs.
• Village Code already prohibits placement of any signs in public right -of -way.
• Village staff provide written notification of political sign regulations to campaign offices.
• Village Clerk's office will now include political sign regulations in Candidate's packet.
• The new law takes effect January 1, 2011; Village Board can hold the ordinance for
further review and discussion.
Village Board Comments /Discussion
• Questioned why legislators would address this issue when state budget is in such a
disarray.
• Questioned how this piece of legislation would serve for the public good.
• The state law addresses residential properties; Village may want to retain "political sign"
restrictions for commercial properties; hold ordinance for further review.
• Political signs not only include candidates but political issues; may have been why law
was changed.
As there was a general consensus to conduct further review of the proposed ordinance to
amend Chapter 7, Trustee Hoefert withdrew his motion and Trustee Juracek withdrew her
second, to waive the rule requiring two (2) readings of an ordinance.
Mayor Wilks recommended utilizing the Northwest Municipal Conference as a forum for
discussion of the new law with other communities.
Village Manager Janonis indicated that NWMC Committee involvement may facilitate the law
being revisited.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to defer the first (1 reading of an
ordinance amending Chapter 7 (Sign Regulations) of the Village Code to the September 7,
2010 Village Board meeting.

AGREEMENT
This resolution authorizes the Village to enter into an agreement with Illinois American Water
Company to construct and operate an automated emergency water system interconnection
on Highland Street.
Public Works Deputy Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and staff's
recommendation regarding IAWC's request for permission to improve an existing
interconnection between their water distribution system and the Village -owned water
distribution system; automated system will activate interconnection during fire flow or
extremely high demand conditions without human intervention.

property safety for Mount Prospect residents served by the IAWC water system by increasing
the volume of water available to fight fires and react to other high flow emergencies. In
comparison with available alternatives, a new automated interconnection can be installed at
a lower cost, and with less physical disruption to Village rights -of -way and adjacent private
property. Mr. Dorsey also reviewed the terms and conditions of the proposed agreement
which stipulates that IAWC assumes responsibility for all costs related to the construction,
installation, operation and maintenance of the facility.
Staff recommends approval of the agreement with IAWC to construct and operate an
automated emergency water system interconnection on Highland Street.
In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Dorsey provided the following:
• The Village has never had to get water from Illinois American Water
• Residents are fully protected
• The Village attorney has reviewed the agreement and finds it acceptable.
• The agreement contains a provision that allows both parties to deny the other water
should circumstances warrant.
• Village and IAWC have had interconnection for a very long time; no problems.
Village Board Comments /Discussion
• Good plan; safety of residents is main issue.
• Sensible plan; economic benefits
• Questioned rate increase to IAWC customers and whether the economic savings to
IAWC will be passed on to residents.

questions regarding the approved IWAC customer rate increase and acknowledged an
approximate savings of $250,000 with the automated interconnection. He also thanked the

Mr. Overeem stated the Village operates a wastewater collection system that includes three
(3) sanitary sewer lift station and seven sanitary relief stations that all feed into the
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District's interceptor system for treatment. In 2007 the
Village experienced severe storm that disrupted electrical power throughout the Village

need to install additional emergency generators to power the sanitary lift and relief
stations. When needed the emergency backup generators will keep the relief stations
operational during power outages and reduce neighborhood flooding. The diesel
generators will be equipped with automatic transfer switches to allow the stations to run
independently for up to four (4) days in the case of a localized or village -wide power
failure. (A total of eight (8) generators; six (6) for the sanitary relief stations and two (2)
for the Fairview and Cottonwood lift stations would be purchased if request is approved
by the Village Board.)
Staff recommend awarding the contract for the purchase of generators for the sewer lift
station emergency backup power project to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder. Lee
Jensen Sales Co., Inc. in an amount not to exceed $232,640.
