Mayor Wilks presented for a second (2nd) reading an ordinance to prohibit the installation of
video gaming terminals within the corporate limits of the Village of Mount Prospect.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Page 2 of 11
Mayor and Board of Trustees July 17, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Village Manager Michael Janonis provided background information regarding adoption of the
Illinois Gaming Act in 2009 and the Village's ordinance (ORD No, 5761) authorizing a
moratorium on gaming terminals in the Village until such time the Gaming Board issued rules
and regulations for the gaming terminals. The recent issuance of the rules by the Gaming Board
leaves local municipalities with the following options 1) total ban on installation of video gaming
terminals within their community or 2) allow installation of the the terminals in eligible locations
within their community. (Pursuant to Village Code, approval for video gaming terminals within
the Village would need to be approved by referendum; question to the general public.)
At the June 19, 2012 Village Board meeting an ordinance prohibiting gaming terminals in the
Village was presented for a first (1 reading and discussion. In addition, a citizen survey similar
to the video gaming survey conducted in 2009 was on the Village's web site for citizen input. As
in 2009, the overwhelming resident response indicated strong opposition to video gaming in the
Mount Prospect.
Public Comment
Dr. Chuck Hamburg
1116 North Shore
Chicago
Dr. Hamburg stated he is a professor at Roosevelt University in the Hospitality Division and has
extensive experience in the hospitality and gaming industry. Dr. Hamburg stated there are many
misnomers of video gaming; is the most regulated industry. He stated video gaming is needed
in Mount Prospect to support businesses and secure Randhurst success. He estimated the
Village would realize an additional $400,000 in tax revenue annually. It was also his opinion
that if the Village did not approve video gaming now, they would before long; will soon recognize
the success and benefit to those communities with video gaming.
Individuals representing local businesses, the community and gaming suppliers were in
attendance and spoke in support of video gaming. The following is a list of their names and their
collective comments.

Mr. Ted Pappas

• Video gaming would help businesses.
• Businesses are struggling; beneficial to have additional revenue source.
• Will lose business to other communities that permit video gaming.
-Patrons leave to go gambling at Des Plaines casino; may stay local if video gaming in Mount
Prospect establishment.
-Video gaming terminals would remain out of family view.
-Requested Village Board defer final decision; see impact on other communities.
-Video gaming similar to scratch ticket which is allowed.
-Every little bit of revenue helps business to stay open.
-Questioned validity resident survey; percentage of responses too small.

Mr. Ed Fuhl
706 Prospect Manor
-Questioned resident survey; percentage of responses too small to draw inferences about what
residents want.
-Long-time resident; residents need assistance. Property values down; taxes up. Video gaming
would bring in revenue.

-Would like the Village Board to consider taking no action at this time; see what happens in
other communities that allow video gaming, than make decision.
-Des Plaines benefitting from gaming industry; communities with video gaming will see financial
benefits.
-Machines will be in the field within the next few weeks.
-Machines are restricted; very highly regulated.
-No one associated with gaming industry wants to see businesses abuse gaming license.
Believes Gaming Act does allow for revocation of license.
Village Board Comments
-Village Board read Gaming Act; well informed.
-Restaurants focus on quality of business; doesn't think video gaming will change patronage.
-Revenue from video terminals; state distributive fund. Currently have distributive fund for
resident taxes; state can run six months behind in payments. Lack of trust in state
distributive fund; not a good practice to give more money to a distributive fund that doesn't
work. State looks for ways not to give money back to municipalities.
In response to Mayor Wilk's request, Finance Director Dave Erb stated the State of Illinois is
currently three (3) months behind in its payment to the Village; $1.5 million.
-Resident/business survey; straightforward; allowed for comments; on web -site for two (2)
weeks.
-Video gaming — many downsides; financial rewards marginal.
-To put video gaming referendum on ballot would require 25% of voters in last election.
-Survey was small but everyone had an opportunity to share opinion; video and public meeting.
Wished more individuals would have attended the June 19, 2012 meeting.
-Gaming Act does not give municipalities ability to protect community; no authority to revoke
license if business abuses license. Only financial penalty; maximum $5,000.
-Not all liquor license establishment may be eligible for gaming license.
-Estimated $400,000 revenue to Village; equates to $26.00 a year per resident.
-Not always about money; need to look at total picture not just one (1) issue.
-Questioned how much Paps would lose in revenue if video gaming not allowed. (Mr. Pappas
unable to quantify but sees people leave his establishment for the casino in Des Plaines.)
-Doesn't believe there is as much money in gaming industry as state suggests.
-No new money; customers will shift spending from food and alcohol to video gaming. No real
financial benefit to businesses
-Reminiscent of concerns with smoking ban. Glad businesses are still here; do not think lack of
video gaming will put them out of business.
-Will not sell soul of community for a few tax dollars.
-Agrees that some customers do like to gamble; does not believe the majority want to gamble.
-If down the road the Village receives more input to allow gambling and /or there is a noted drop
in business, Village will need to revisit.
-Putting tax money in distributive fund is risky business.
-Seeking to increase revenue through gambling is an act of utter desperation; need to add value
to community.
In response to the Village Board comments regarding the distribution of the gambling revenue,
Dr. Hamburg stated the Gaming Board is an independent agency and provided an overview of
the distribution of gambling revenue. He stated communities would receive revenue once a
month. He believes allowing video gaming will bring in a tremendous amount of new money; he
asked the Village Board not to vote on the matter at this time.
Mayor Wilks stated even if the ordinance was approved tonight since Trustee Zadel, was absent
from the meeting, he could bring the matter back for reconsideration at the next Village Board
meeting; August 7, 2012.

She also reiterated that even if the Village Board approved an ordinance to allow video gaming,
it would still need to go to referendum.
The Village Board members thanked the businesses for their comments and expressed their
commitment to the business community.
Mayor Wilks stated a few years ago the Village Board revised the liquor license code to help
businesses and will continue to work with businesses. However, video gaming is different, very
difficult to pass when residents do not want in community.
Trustee Hoefert provided clarification of the vote; a "yes" vote will prohibit video gaming and a
"no" vote allows video gaming.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Korn, moved for approval of Ordinance No. 6018:

required parking spaces.

The facility would operate seven (7) days a week; with no more than thirty (30) clients and seven
(7) employees at a time. Per the conditions of the conditional use an additional parking space
will be striped in the rear of the building to bring the property up to compliance with the required
parking.
Mr. Cooney stated Mr. Nelson Gord, co- owner, was in attendance to respond to questions from
the Village Board.
Village Board Comments
-Number of service type businesses going into Kensington Center; getting away from
manufacturing /industrial use.
-Supports the Petitioner's request but unintended use of Kensington Center; this type of
business does not generate revenue intended when Kensington was built.
-When do we start saying no to non - manufacturing /no- engineering businesses.
-These type of businesses attract families to mall and restaurants; will also have sales inside.
-These type of business have a ripple affect; draw to families that will shop and dine while
athlete is at facility; generate new revenue.
Mr. Cooney stated there are occupancy challenges at Kensington and Trustee Polit raises many
of the same questions as the EDC. While it is better to have the properties filled for tax
purposes, this type of business does not generate jobs. He stated staff continue to do
comparison of taxes outside of Cook County; taxes remain a concern.
Mr. Nelson stated Randhurst was a major drawing point when choosing to relocate their
business from Niles to Mount Prospect.

MANAGER'S VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
REPORT Village Manager Janonis stated Public Works Director Sean Dorsey had four (4) items he would
be presenting for Village Board approval.
2012 SEWER LINE
SPOT RELAYS, A. Request Village Board approval to accept bid for 2012 Sewer Line Spot Relays in an amount
VBA- 25 -12 not to exceed $289,844.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and staff recommendation.
Mr. Dorsey stated the original bid opening for the project was held May 7, 2012; all bids were
rejected as non - responsive at the June 5, 2012 Village Board meeting.
The bid documents for the project were modified and the work to replace structurally failed pipe
and installing or repairing manholes was rebid. Seven (7) contractors attended the mandatory
pre -bid meeting; six (6) were submitted for consideration at the July 9, 2012 bid opening. Staff
evaluated all bids and confirmed submittal of bid bonds and references. The engineer's
estimate of the cost for this project is $277,000. Lifco Contractors submitted the low bid of
$263,494. Staff also request 10% contingency due to the fact bid quantities are estimates and
actual field measurements will vary and the cost for additional digs when more sewer line spot
relays are discovered; $26,350.
Staff recommend Village Board accept the lowest cost, responsible and responsive bid for the
2012 Sewer Line Spot Relays from Lifco Contractors and award construction contract in an
amount not to exceed $289,844 ($263,494 base bid plus a 10% contingency of $26,350).
Trustee Matuszak noted the bid from Lifco was $20,000 less than the lowest bid submitted in
May for the same project.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Matuszak, moved for Village Board approval to accept
low bid for 2012 Sewer Line Spot Relays and award construction contract to Lifco Construction
in amount not to exceed $289,844.

Motion carried.
WELL 5 B. Request for Village Board approval to accept bid for the Well 5 Evaluation and Repair project
EVALUATION AND in an amount not to exceed $163,165.
REPAIR, VBA 26 -12
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and staff recommendation.
The Village maintains five (5) potable water wells in a stand -by status to provide emergency
source of water in the event water from the City of Chicago or NSMJAWA is disrupted. To
guarantee the five (5) deep wells will operate when needed, inspections and maintenance are
performed at routine intervals. Deep Well 5 was last removed for inspection and maintenance in
1998. Mr. Dorsey detailed the inspection process.
Bid documents were sent to three (3) area well contractors; contractors with deep well
experience and performance of deep well projects within the last two (2) years. All contractors
who submitted bids have met all of the bid requirements and qualifications for similar deep well
work.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Page 9 of 11
Mayor and Board of Trustees July 17, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
As it is nearly impossible to determine specific repairs or parts that may be needed without first
pulling the deep well from its shaft; the industry practice is to ask for pricing for a list of possible
repairs and to add a contingency to the bid award.
Staff recommends the Village Board accept the lowest, responsible and responsive bid for the
Well 5 Evaluation and Repair project from Municipal Well and Pump in an amount not to exceed
$163,165 ($135,970 bid plus $27,195 contingency).
In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Dorsey provided the following:
-Village has excellent back -up for water should feeds from JAWA go down.
-Contingency based on staff recommendation and inspections.
-Back-up water system could run indefinitely if needed; however regulatory restrictions may limit
use.
■20% contingency rather 10 %; do not know what the condition of well until it is removed from the
ground.
Trustee Korn, seconded by Trustee Hoefert, moved for Village Board approval to accept bid for
the Well 5 Evaluation and Repair project in an amount not to exceed from Municipal Well and
Pump in amount not to exceed $163,165.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Polit

Center; sediment dredging, slope erosion protection and outlet structure upkeep. This year's
dredging project is Basin #4, located on Business Center Drive. Mr. Dorsey provided an

Three (3) bids were received and all met bid requirements. The Engineer's estimate for the
project is $140,110. The lowest bid was submitted by Copenhaver Construction, Inc in the
amount of $109,325. As the contractor's bid is based on estimated quantities, staff recommend
a 10% contingency.
Staff recommends the Village Board accept the lowest, responsible and responsive bid for the
Kensington Business Center Retention Basin 4 dredging project from Copenhaver Construction
in an amount not to exceed $120,257 ($109,325 bid plus $10,932 contingency).
Trustee Matuszak, seconded by Trustee Korn, moved for Village Board to accept bid for the
Kensington Business Center Retention Basin 4 dredging project from Copenhaver Construction
in an amount not to exceed $120,257 ($109,325 bid plus $10,932 contingency).

CHANGE ORDER, D. Change Order for Tree and Stump Removals
TREE AND STUMP 1. Request Village Board approval to increase 2012 contract for parkway tree removals in
REMOVAL amount not to exceed $106,211.
CONTRACTS
2. Request Village approval to increase 2012 contract for stump removals in an amount not
to exceed $46,485.
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Page 10 of 11
Mayor and Board of Trustees July 17, 2012
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and staff
recommendations.
Mr. Dorsey stated in January of 2012 the Village Board approved a contract in the amount of
$155,000 to Homer Tree Care for parkway tree removal. And, in February 2011 the Village
Board awarded a two (2) year contract in the amount of $86,000 to Powell Tree Card for
parkway stump removal. However, due to the large volume of removals this year, there are
insufficient funds remaining in both of the contracts. An increase in these contracts is needed to
facilitate additional removals projected through the end of the 2012. Mr. Dorsey referenced the
summary of the additional removals provided to the Village Board.
Staff proposes to (1) increase the award for the 2012 parkway tree removal contract by
$106,211; the existing award for this contract and (2) to increase the award for the 2012 stump
removal contract by $46,485. Mr. Dorsey stated staff had identified approximately $125,000 in
