Mayor Wilks stated while she was in Springfield, the elected officials were reassuring the
municipal representatives they would still be receiving local distributive funds; state acts as if
it is their fund and are allowing local governments to have the funds. The state is only a
pass through for the local government funds.
Mr. Erb stated the payments of these funds from the state goes is sporadic. Frequency of
payment to Village has improved; at one time the state was six (6) months in arrears.

E. A Resolution authorizing execution of a lease agreement between the Village of Mount
Prospect and Parkway Bank and Trust for the property located at 1709 -1713 West Algonquin
Road.
LEASE AGREEMENT Mayor Wilks presented a resolution authorizing execution of a lease agreement between the
1709 -17123 WEST Village of Mount Prospect and Parkway Bank and Trust for the property located at 1709 -1713
ALGONQUIN ROAD West Algonquin Road. This resolution authorizes execution of a lease agreement between the
Village of Mount Prospect and Parkway Bank and Trust for the Community Connections Center
located at 1709 -1713 West Algonquin Road.
Village Manager Janonis provided background information stating the Village has successfully
operated the Community Connections Center for close to three (3) years. While entering the
lease renewal process the Village was notified that an adjacent 1,200 square foot space in the
Crystal Court Shopping Center was available if the Community Connections Center partners
were interested in expanding. Since its inception the center has proven to be a highly used and
valuable resource in the community serving an increasing number of residents. The center
which currently operates in the original 2,400 facility is at maximize usage and the additional
space would alleviate the cramped conditions of the programs /services offered by the
Community Connections Center partners.
Mr. Janonis stated the cost for the build -out of the additional space would be covered by grant
money. There will be no increase in Village personnel; partners providing services will be able to
expand programs.
Mayor Wilks stated the Community Connections Center was highly successful, a well used
resource; amazing how many programs /services are provided in such a small area.
Trustee Matuszak asked several questions regarding the financial impact to the Village if the
additional space was added. While he recognizes the benefit of the center, Trustee Matuszak
questioned the timing of a new expenditure after the Village made significant budget reductions
that eliminated other programs.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 5 of 10
Mayor and Board of Trustees April 3, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Village Manger Janonis provided the following in response to Trustee Matuszak's questions
regarding the actual cost for the expansion. The Village's overall increase for the additional
space would be approximately $14,000; the Village and Mount Prospect Public Library share in
the cost of the space — Village 2/3 and Library 1/3. He added the grant award will offset the cost
for build -out of the additional space. Village Manager Janonis stated if the space was not
vacant the Village would not be seeking expansion. The timing is right to take advantage of the
additional space; once the lease agreement is signed the strip center will be at 100% occupancy.
The property owner views the center as a positive addition to the strip center and area.
Village Board Comments
Trustee Hoefert stated he understands the budgetary concerns. He then noted the value of the
center highlighting the tremendous job the center does in delivering services to this area of the
community; the Center facilitates inclusion for our diverse community. The Community
Connections Center heads off a number of other issues. The additional funds not used for
programming; require separate discussion. Village Board is very frugal and as part of the
process makes decisions on what expenditures are more important.
Trustee Juracek stated the Center is very successful and well used. The additional space
gained for $14,000 will provide a far more efficient delivery of services. The Village needs to
have services in that location; preventative presence we have there is valuable. Expansion is
most efficient, compassionate and appropriate step in serving a diverse community.
Trustee Korn stated expansion is relative to the vacancy of adjacent space; modest increase in
rent. The opportunity to provide additional area for programming is investment in future
generations; gives more space to partners providing services and programs. Approval of funds
for expansion does not authorize funding for additional programming or personnel.
Trustee Polit stated he shares the concern about spending "new" money. While the rent increase
may appear modest if the Village Board continues to add more money to that list the cost could
become significant. Important to have discussion about expenditures not in current budget. He
recognizes the number of services the center provides including distribution site for donated
food; concern is specific to spending of new money and potential for other expenditures.
Trustee Matuszak stated he did not question the value or use of the center; his reservations are
with the spending of money when the community has already been impacted by the loss of other
important services and programs.
In response to questions from the Village Board, Village Manager Janonis and Mr. Erb provided
the following:
-Discussion during budget process; funds set aside for Community Connections Center;
$95,000.
-Grant money available for build -out.
-If all the $95,000 is not spent; balance will go back into Capital Improvement Fund.
Trustee Hoefert suggested if funds remain, consideration should be given to making necessary
improvements at the existing center.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved for approval of Resolution No. 06 -12:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A LEASE AGREEMENT
RES 06 -12 BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT AND PARKWAY BANK AND

Public Comments
Mr. Ron Bare
1827 Thornwood
• Appreciates Village providing options; doesn't think they will significantly improve situation.
• Notification from Village included comment that treatment of trees was not recommended;
wished notification would have been more balanced.
• Village should take whatever action is necessary to save trees; Village should treat the trees.
• Village treating only 25% of ash trees (white and blue ash)
• Doesn't see the logic in spending money to remove trees when treatment is less costly; verdict
is still out on benefit of treatment.
-Would like Village to consider treating trees that are not affected.
Mr. Dorsey stated the letter to residents did include information for residents seeking guidance.
Homeowners need to make their own decisions; be aware of likelihood of success. He also
stated the Village has been treating 800 -900 ash trees for several years; fairly confident the
trees were not infested EAB when treatment started.
Village Board Comments
-Ordinance allows for treatment of parkway trees; no decision to remove if resident wants to
treat the tree(s).
-Resident's comments did not go unheard; resident input facilitated changes in the Village Code.
-EAB will never go away; Michigan unable to eradicate.
-Support Village treatment of some of the ash trees.
-Ordinance allows residents to partner with Village; landscape management.
-Phenomenal cost if Village to pay for treatment; too many ash trees in mix of Village trees.
-Ash trees planted in 60's and 70's by developers; Village has diversified tree inventory.
-One of the most difficult situations Village has had to deal with; impact on tree population
/keeping expenses down.

MANAGER'S VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
REPORT A.Request Village Board approval to accept Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) bid
for the purchase of a 2012 Ford F450 Medtec ambulance in an amount not to exceed
$176,311.
Fire Chief John Malcolm presented background information and staff's recommendation for the
purchase of the 2012 Ford F450 Medtec from Foster Coach Sales, Inc. in an amount not to
exceed $176,311. Foster Coach Sales was awarded the ambulance contract through the
NWMC competitive bid. The new ambulance will replace a 2006 Ford ambulance with 62,490
miles. The modular box on this vehicle is twelve (12) years old and was remounted in 2006.
Based on the ambulance's current condition, Public Works has recommended the box not be
remounted on a new chassis.
Fire Chief Malcolm stated the two (2) factors significantly lowered the Village's cost of the new
ambulance 1) sale of the old ambulance to a private provider for $22,500 versus a trade -in
amount of $3,500 and 2) a pre - payment discount of $5,635 offered by Foster Coach Sales.
Village Board Comments
-Life safety vehicles are essential — support purchase of new ambulance.
-New ambulance has up to date technology
-Appreciate Fire Department finding creative ways to save Village money; private sale of current
vehicle and pre - payment discount.
In response to questions from the Village Board, Fire Chief Malcolm provided information
regarding the condition of the modular box, mounting of the chassis and delivery of the old
vehicle. He also stated the private service ambulance can use the older ambulance because
they primarily provide non - emergency transportation services. As first responders, it is critical
that Village have the most up to date equipment.
