PUBLIC HEARING, A. Public Hearing Annexation Agreement— (ARC Disposal Company, Inc.,) located at 2101
ANNEXATION South Busse Road
AGREEMENT, 2101
SOUTH BUSSE At 8:12 p.m. Mayor Wilks opened the Public Hearing for an Annexation Agreement, ARC
ROAD Disposal Company, Inc. The public hearing was called pursuant to due and proper legal notice
published in the Daily Herald on May 31, 2012 relative to a proposed Annexation Agreement for
the property located at 2101 South Busse Road.
Community Development Director Bill Cooney presented an overview of the proposed area of
annexation; 14.1 acres of land. The owner currently operates multiple waste hauling and office
uses on the Subject Property and is seeking annexation to the Village. Mr. Cooney stated the
proposed annexation will promote the sound planning and development of the Village.
As drafted, the agreement would enable ARC to operate their waste hauling facility in the same
manner they have in Cook County for the past several decades. The agreement would
grandfather several existing non - conforming zoning matters such as lot coverage and setbacks.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 6 of 13
Mayor and Board of Trustees June 19, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
If the Village Board approves the agreement, the petitioner would then move forward with an
application for a text amendment to create a new 12 Waste Hauling District, a map amendment
to rezone their properties to the new 12 zoning classification and any necessary variances to
address existing conditions on the Subject property.
While recognizing the property is a waste and transfer facility, Trustee Juracek stated the
condition of the property is pretty rough. She questioned whether, overtime, the Village will have
some ability to assist with cleanliness of the area.
Mr. Cooney stated the annexation would allow the Village to address some aspects of the debris
and garbage. He added that ARC Disposal has resurfaced Kenneth Drive and will take over
roadway.
Public Comment
Mike Nelson, Fire Chief
Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District
Fire Chief Nelson raised several questions regarding the Village's recent actions to annex
property currently serviced by the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District. He indicated the
annexation of ARC will put a wedge in the middle of Busse Road; area served by the fire district
and significantly impact the fire district's revenue. Fire Chief Nelson questioned whether the
Village was approaching the businesses in the area or if the properties were asking for the
annexation. He referenced the previous, failed annexation of properties in this area.
Mr. Ken Kubiesa, attorney for ARC Disposal, responded he was unaware of the annexation
history but ARC Disposal is prepared to pay the amount of compensation required by state
statute to the fire district.
Village Board Comments
-Annexations are voluntary; concerned with Fire Chief Nelson's suggestion that Village may be
doing something questionable to annex these properties.
-Fire District should ask business why they are seeking annexation.
-Cook County objective; increase annexation of unincorporated properties.
-Village has also annexed property in Wheeling Township.
Fire Chief Nelson stated he did not intend to imply the Village was doing anything inappropriate;
he is concerned with the impact the annexations will have on the Fire District
Assistant Village Manager Strahl stated the five (5) year pay -out, per the state statute, is
intended to help districts adjust to declining revenue.
In response to Trustee Matuszak's request for clarification on vacation of roadways, Mr. Cooney
stated the details for vacation are to be flushed out; easement will be part of annexation.
Trustee Polit stated the deterioration of the roadways is due to Cook County's failure to maintain.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey stated since de- annexation of the properties the Village has
spent no money to maintain these roads; no one has claimed ownership. ARC has agreed to
take over Kenneth Drive.
As there were no further comments or questions, Mayor Wilks closed the Public Hearing for the
Annexation Agreement at 8:21 p.m.

requesting approval from the Village Board to enter an intergovernmental agreement with the
Illinois Emergency Services Management Association (IEMMAS) to authorize Mount Prospect's
participation in statewide mutual aid for emergency management purposes. As a member of
IEMMAS the Village would be able to request additional emergency management resources
when local resources are overwhelmed; similar to what we currently have with local mutual aid
agreement. The Village would also have the ability to send local resources to communities
stricken by emergencies; the Village would retain the right to determine its own needs and /or

E. 1 St reading of An Ordinance to Prohibit the Installation and Operation of Video Gaming
terminals within the Corporate Limits of the Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois
Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance to prohibit the installation and
operation of Video Gaming terminals within the corporate limits of the Village of Mount Prospect.
VIDEO GAMING
ACT Assistant Village Manager Strahl provided background information relative to Ordinance No.
5761 which was adopted by the Village Board in 2009 in response to the Video Gaming Act.
The existing ordinance established a moratorium on the use of said terminals within Mount
Prospect until such time as the State Gaming Board (SGB) issues final rules pursuant to the Act.
The SGB has indicated it will be promulgating rules covering the operation and oversight of said
devices in August or September. The proposed ordinance is presented for Village Board
discussion and to decide whether to allow or prohibit the licensing of video poker terminals in
eligible Mount Prospect liquor establishments.
Mayor Wilks provided a comprehensive overview of the Act as well as her own extensive review
of the Act. Of particular concern was the lack of protection the Act provides to municipalities
should a municipality choose to allow video gaming terminals.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 9 of 13
Mayor and Board of Trustees June 19, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Local municipalities have very little ability regarding regulation and enforcement; maximum fine
for violators is $5,000, municipalities cannot revoke license.
Municipalities faced with an all or nothing option; accept all aspects of video gaming or prohibit
all video gaming. Some municipalities may be tempted to allow gambling in the hopes of
increased revenue.
Village Board Comments
-Opinion has not changed since 2009 discussion; no benefit to municipality.
-Gaming Board has provided no information on how video gaming terminals will be regulated or
rules enforced.
-Gaming Board website lists which municipalities have accepted /rejected video gaming; only
community in this area to accept is Prospect Heights.
-Sad when government needs to seek funds through gambling.
-Concern regarding sufficient regulation; make sure everyone is playing by the same rules.
-Does not support raising funds in this manner to balance budget.
-Only good thing about legalized video gaming is that with regulations it eliminates illegal
gambling terminals.
-Video gaming does nothing positive for the community or individuals.
-Individuals with gambling issues — negatively impact well -being of individuals /families.
-Implementation of Gaming Act; act of sheer desperation by Gaming Board.
-Legislators protecting the gambling industry; very little concern for municipalities.
-Sense citizens of Mount Prospect do not want gaming video terminals.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl stated similar to the Citizen Survey conducted in 2009 the
Village will again solicit resident input with an on -line survey on the Village's web -site. The
Village will also advise local businesses eligible for the terminals about the Village's discussion
and decision making process.
To allow for public comment from both residents and local businesses Mayor Wilks asked that
this item be held for a second (2 at the July 17, 2012 Village Board meeting. Trustee Zadel
and Trustee Korn expressed their support to hold the ordinance for a second (2 Village
committed to giving businesses the opportunity to communicate with the Village Board on this
matter before final action.
Mayor Wilks stated the ordinance would be presented for a second (2 reading at the July 17,
2012 Village Board meeting.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 10 of 13
Mayor and Board of Trustees June 19, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Trustee Zadel stated as his employer Illinois Tollway does business with the Hillside and to
uphold the ethical standards of an elected official he would abstain from voting. He added that
there are several towing companies in the area; not sure why they did not submit competitive
bid. Hillside is well - qualified; equipment and operators.
Trustee Polit stated from personal experience he has found Hillside to be professional with
quality service.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Polit, moved for Village Board approval to accept Police
Towing and Storage contract with Hillside Auto Body, Towing and Services, Inc. for the period of

B. Request for Village Board approval to accept Suburban Purchasing Cooperative bid for the
FUEL BID,VBA 22 -12 purchase of gasoline and diesel fuel in an amount not to exceed $188,000.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and staff recommendation.
Mr. Dorsey stated in May of this year the Village was notified by the Northwest Municipal
Conference that this year's Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) bid contract to purchase
fuel for the Village's fleet of vehicles and equipment was awarded to Palatine Oil Company of
Schaumburg. Mr. Dorsey reviewed the fuel bid work sheet that compared last year's Village
contract pricing with the new SPC bid award pricing. Based on the Village's five (5) year average
consumption of 100,000 gallons of gasoline and 50,000 gallons of diesel, the Village would
realize a savings of $4,575 compared to last year's contract pricing.
Throughout the potential four -year term of the proposed contract (initial award and three (3) one -
year extensions), the OPIS low rack price may rise and fall on a daily basis but the amount of
money paid to Palatine Oil Company as profit/overhead would not change; remain fixed at
$0.0475 over the OPIS low rack price for unleaded and $0.0575 for #2 bio- diesel.
Staff recommend (1) the Village accept the NWMC /SPC bid award and execute a new 2012 fuel
contract with Palatine Oil Company, Inc.; effective June 19, 2012 to June 5, 2013 and (2) the
Village Board authorize staff to execute up to three (3) one (1) year extensions if approved by
the NWMC /SPC.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Korn, moved for Village Board to accept the NWMC /SPC

Mr. Breitzman stated life cycle analysis including optimum economic replacement was
completed for each of the vehicles; to extend the service life it would cost approximately $6,750
per vehicle. He added, the purchase price of the replacement vehicles would be at the 2010
State Contract bid price; this price will increase substantially during the next model production
year.
Staff recommends the purchase of the four (4) replacement vehicles utilizing the State of Illinois
bid from Morrow Brothers Ford, Inc. of Greenfield, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $88,500.
Funds for the purchase are available in the current budget. Remaining available funds will be
used to purchase necessary additional equipment.
In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Breitzman provided the following:
-Idle time affected by extreme cold and heat, night work, and short tasks. Need to keep vehicle
running.
-Idle time impacts life cycle.
-Replacement recommendations also based on potential costly repairs to vehicles that are ten
(10) years old or have 50,000 miles; Village replacement schedule.
-Vehicles are not falling apart but feel most cost effective approach is to replace vehicles.
-Vehicles can be sold at NWMC auction.
Village Board Comments
-Like public safety vehicles — Public Works needs good /reliable vehicles.
-Support replacement of four (4) pickup trucks.

POLICE D. Request Village Board approval to waive bid process to purchase furniture through Business
FURNITURE, VBA Office Systems at the U.S. Communities Sales Agreement Pricing competitive bid process in an
24 -12 amount not to exceed $48,925.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl stated this item was removed from the Consent Agenda for
separate discussion.
Trustee Hoefert stated his request for removal of this item from the Consent Agenda was to
determine why the purchase of the furniture was not done under the competitive process.
Deputy Police Chief Wagner presented background information stating that while the Police
Department did not conduct a bid process, the recommended purchase is based on the
competitive bid pricing of the U. S. Communities National Sales Agreement Pricing competitive
bid process. As part of the purchasing process the Police Department compared office furniture
offered both by Warehouse Direct Office Products and Business Office Systems. All factors
being equal, including quality of product and service, the proposal from Warehouse Direct was
$55,076 compared to Business Office Solutions at $48,925. Business Office Solutions was able
to offer the Village the competitive bid pricing from U. S. Communities National Sale Agreement
Pricing.
Staff request is for approval to waive the Village's bid process and purchase furniture through
Business Office Systems at the U. S. Communities National Sales Agreement Pricing
Competitive bid process in an amount not to exceed $48,925.
Trustee Hoefert asked for clarification as to why two (2) proposals were solicited if pricing from a
competitive bid process similar to the State of Illinois bid process was available.

Police Chief Semkiu stated for comparative purposes proposals from these two (2) vendors were
sought: (1) the Village had used both businesses in the past and (2) both had participated in
competitive bid process through NWMC.
Trustee Polit stated Trustee Hoefert raised an important issue regarding the acceptance of bid
pricing through other agencies. He questions whether the State always gets the best pricing;
likes that the Village goes out to find other competitive pricing to make sure Village is getting the
best price.
