2nd Floor Conference Room, Village Hall
Thursday, April 3, 2003
8:00 a.m.
The meeting of the Economic Development Commission (EDC) of the Village 0fMount Prospect was held on
Thursday, April 3, 2003, in the second floor conference room of Village Hall, 100 South Emerson Street,
Mount Prospect, Illinois.
CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Norm Kurtz called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. Commissioners John Amdt, Bruce Gillilan,
Ben Trapani and Tom Zander were present. Commissioners Pat Biedar and David Lindgren were absent.
Also present were Mayor Gerald Farley, Jim Uszler, Executive Director of the Mount Prospect Chamber of
Commerce, Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development, Mike Jacobs, Deputy Director of Community
Development, Fire Chief Mike Figolah, Fire Marshal Paul Valentine, Michael Heimbecker, Fire Protection
Safety Engineer, Bill George, Building Commissioner, and Bob Roels, Environmental Health Manager.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the December 5, 2002 meeting were reviewed and approved unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
Status Update
Mr. Cooney informed the EDC that a developer recently purchased the Central Plaza Shopping Center. At this
point staff is unaware of who the developer is, but is working with a local broker, Brian Properties, to
adequately address the property. It is hoped that the new owners of the property intend to demolish the
structure and consider a new mixed-use development at that location.
Mr. Cooney stated that Culver's Restaurant was looking at a variety of locations throughout to~vn and it
appeared they would be locating at the former Super Shops facility in front of Hobby Lobby. They are also
looking at the north end of town along Rand Road.
Mr. Cooney stated that the Costco project was still alive but that it appeared that construction would not begin
until 2004. He provided a brief update of other items at the Randhurst Mall. He then informed the
Commission that Oberweis DiLry would soon be opening its doors at the Lofts development and a TCF Bank
and a beauty salon would be following soon thereafter. He closed by indicating that the vacant parcel at the
southeast comer of Dempster and Busse was currently under contract and a variety of banking institutions and
restaurants were considering this location.
NEW BUSINESS
International Buildin~ Code
Mr. Cooney provided a brief overview of the proposed building, fire and property maintenance code updates to
the 2000 International Building Codes. He stated that, with the recent unification of the building codes under
the umbrella of the International Building Code, that staff felt it would be beneficial for the Village to adopt
the most recent codes. He stated that the Village is currently operafmg under the 1996 BOCA Code and a
variety o f other c odes that h ave now been consolidated into the International Building Code. He then
introduced Chief Mike Figolah to provide a brief overview of the changes that would be implemented with the
proposed International Fire Code. ChiefFigolah stated that the greatest change in the proposed update would
be the requirement for sprinldering of all new townhomes and single-family home construction. Currently,
these two uses do not require sprinldering under the Village Codes. He indicated many local communities
have adopted similar ordinances because the majority of fire related deaths do occur in homes. He explained
that the cost of installing sprinklers in new construction was approximately $1.50 to $1.75 per square foot,
similar to the cost of installing carpeting. He then introduced Fire Marshal Paul Valentine who provided a
general overview of some of the other substantive changes to the proposed International Fire Code. There was
conomic Development Commission
April 3, 2002 Minutes
Page 2
general discussion by the EDC members about the pros and cons of requiring sprinklering in single-family and
townhomes. There was general consensus that this would be a worth~vhile endeavor in new construction but
concerns were raised that this might also evolve into requiring all additions and other improvements to require
sprinklers. ChiefFigolah indicated that was not the intent of the Fire Department and that other communities
who have applied that requirement have had a lot of resistance. At this time, they would not be pursuing a
requirement to put sprinklers in large additions or alterations of existing homes.
Commissioner Trapani then made a motion to recommend that the Village Board approve the amendment as
proposed. Mr. Arndt seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Cook County Property Tax Update
Mr. Cooney stated that this item was placed on the agenda at the request of Mr. Gillilan. The County is
pursuing state legislation that would prohibit commercial and industrial property owners from appealing their
reassessments. The proposed legislation was generated at the request of local school districts due to the large
amount of appeals that are successfully granted each year. Mr. Gillilan stated that, while the funding of
schools is certainly an issue that needs to addressed, he felt that the proposed legislation would have a negative
impact on businesses in the County and especially Mount Prospect. Mr. Uszler stated that he was in
attendance yesterday in Springfield as the Senate approved the proposed legislation. He stated that the House
is due to review the item later this afternoon and that it was likely that it would pass. It was agreed that the
EDC should work with the Chamber to follow this issue and take appropriate action to benefit the business
community.
Downtown Redevelopment - The Next Steps
Mr. Cooney displayed several boards that illustrated the 1998 Strategic Plan and current status of the
downtown redevelopment. He provided a brief history of the redevelopment efforts over the past four years.
He also informed the EDC that the Village Board had placed a joint discussion with EDC on their May 13th
Committee of the Whole agenda to discuss this matter. Chairman Kurtz questioned whether the Board
considered his suggestion to reconvene an ad hoc committee for the redevelopment efforts. Mayor Farley
stated that he didn't feel a new ad hoc committee was necessary for this matter and that the EDC would be the
proper commission to make recommendations on the next steps for redevelopment. Mr. Kurtz stated that, if
the EDC is to be charged with this role, it was imperative that all members make an effort to attend the May
13th Committee of the Whole meeting. Mr. Cooney stated that staff would help prepare a Power Point
presentation that the EDC could utilize to make a brief presentation to the Board at that meeting.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
There was no Chairman's report.
ADJOURNMENT
The Commissioners agreed the next meeting would be held on June 5, 2003. The meeting was adjourned at

NEW BUSINESS
· Diversity Walk - Northwest Cook Leaders
Ms. Margie Sedano, Vice Chair of the Northwest Cook Leaders addressed the Commission and asked their
support and participation in the organization's, September 21, 2003 Diversity Walk. Ms. Sedano stated
that this will be the Northwest Cook Leaders first major public activity since its formation in the fall of 2002.
The purpose of the walk is not only to promote cultural diversity but to let residents in this area know about
the groups existence.
Ms. Sedano stated that the Diversity Walk will be well advertised through the local newspaper, school flyers
and direct contact with other civic, cultural and religious organizations. The two (2) mile Diversity Walk will
end at Meadows Park and the event will continue with music and other cultural awareness activities.
The Commission was unanimous in their decision to support the Diversity Walk. However, Ms. Sedano was
made aware that the Commission could offer no financial support. The Commissioners also stated they
would make individual contacts to help recruit participants. In addition, Commissioner Parikh volunteered to
be the Commission's representative with the Northwest Cook Leaders.

and objectives.

for the Forum. He also asked Sue Horan to invite individuals within her organization to participate. (Ms.

hairman Brennan suggested that statements on racism be included with the program materials. He hoped
to get statements from various local churches. Commissioner Muench indicated she would bring in a picture
and other materials she may have that depict religious/cultural diversity.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Timeline
The staff liaison asked the Commission about the proposed meeting dates established by the Community
Development Department. The Commission members stated the schedule was fine but did ask if they
could get copies of the CDBG applications prior to the August 7th meeting. The staff liaison stated she
would follow through with their request. (Chairman Brennan asked if staff could also find out if the
Commission was eligible to receive CDBG funding.)
