AMEND CHAPTER B. 1 St reading of an Ordinance to Amend Article V, "Sanitary Sewer System' Section 9.501
9, `PUBLIC "General Provisions," of Chapter 9 entitled "Public Utilities, Pavement & Tree Regulations" of the
UTILITIES, Mount Prospect Village Code.
PAVEMENT & TREE
REGULATIONS OF Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance to amend Article V, "Sanitary Sewer
THE VILLAGE CODE System' Section 9.501 "General Provisions," of Chapter 9 entitled "Public Utilities, Pavement &
OF MOUNT Tree Regulations" of the Mount Prospect Village Code. This ordinance amends Article V,
PROSPECT Sanitary Sewer System of Chapter 9, by inserting a new section 9.510CV to require the
disconnection of storm sewer inflow to combined sewers when separate storm sewers become
available.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff
recommendations for both the amendment to Chapter 9 and Chapter 16 as provided under Items
B. and C., New Business.
Mr. Dorsey stated the Village holds a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES)
permit that regulates the operation of the Village's combined sewer system. The NPDES permit
system is mandated by the United States Environmental Protection (USEPA); the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) administers the permits in Illinois. Compliance
requirements include the periodical review and certification that village codes contain specific
mandated provisions. A recent review of the applicable Village codes indicated the existing
codes lack sufficient provisions for the following best practices:
1) all new buildings erected in a combined sewer area are constructed with separate and
distinct domestic (sanitary) waste and inflow (clear water) connections to facilitate
disconnection of the inflow component should a separate storm sewer become available in
the future; and
2) all existing storm sewer structures (catch basins, inlets, etc.) on a combined sewer system
should be connected to a separate storm sewer if a separate storm sewer becomes
available in the future.
6of11
Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the December 18, 2012
Mayor and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Mr. Dorsey stated the amendment to Chapter 9 inserts language that upon installation of a new
separate storm sewer in combined sewer areas, all existing inlets and catch basins adjacent to
the new separate storm sewer be connected to the new storm sewer within one (1) year of
construction. He noted, while this is an extremely rare event, staff agrees the best interests of
the Village would be served by transferring inlets and catch basins to a separate storm sewer if
one becomes available.
The amendment to Chapter 16 pertaining to the separation of clear water and sanitary
connections effectively codifies practices informally implemented by staff for many years. As an
example he indicated new buildings are required to separate clear water and sanitary
components regardless of whether they are constructed in separate sanitary or combined sewer
areas. Clearwater components are required to be discharged outside at grade level and are not
permitted to discharge to combined areas unless a variance is granted by the village engineer.
The proposed amendment inserts specific language; in areas served by combined sewers, all
new buildings shall include a domestic sanitary waste connection distinctly separate from any
and all storm water, groundwater or other clear water connections for the purpose of facilitating a
disconnection of clear water sources from the combined sewer should a separate storm sewer
become available.
Mr. Dorsey stated staff believe both proposed code amendments are beneficial and do not
present cumbersome or costly burdens to residents, staff or future development.

OF MOUNT Mayor Wilks presented for a first (1 reading an ordinance to amend Article V, "Sanitary Sewer

Mount Prospect Village Code. This ordinance amends Article V, Sanitary Sewer System of
Chapter 16, by inserting a new section 16.501 E to require new buildings constructed in
combined sewer areas to include separate and distinct connections for storm water and
domestic sanitary waste.
Trustee Juracek requested clarification regarding the cover memo which stated clear water
components are required to be discharged outside a grade level and are not permitted to
discharge to combined sewers unless a variance is granted by the village engineer and the
proposed ordinance which makes no reference to a variance provision.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the December 18, 2012
Mayor and Board of Trustees
of the Village of Mount Prospect
Mr. Dorsey concurred that while rare there maybe justification for granting a variance for
underground discharge, and as such language regarding the granting of a variance should be
included in the ordinance.
Trustee Juracek suggested due to the importance of amending the code for compliance
purposes, the Village Board move forward with approval of the ordinance as written but this item
back to the Village Board as a housekeeping matter. The Code would be amended to include
language regarding the variance.

MANAGER'S VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
REPORT A.Motion to approve proposal for the 2013 property and workers compensation insurance
program in an amount not to exceed $172,081.
2013 PROPERTY Finance Director Dave Erb provided a summary of the Village's expiring insurance program, an
AND WORKERS analysis of the proposals received and a summary of the insurance package recommended by
COMPENSATION staff and its consultant. Due to the narrow market for municipal risks staff did not seek
INSURANCE alternative proposals for the 2013 renewal. As a whole the cost for WC coverage is being driven
by Safety National municipal book of business in Illinois. Due to the poor condition of the Illinois
municipal WC marketplace and benefits in place for sworn police and fire personnel, there are
no other competitive insurers doing excess WC.
The total for all premiums and commissions as quoted is $172,081, an 8.4% increase from the
2012 premium. The Village realized a savings of $9,469 by adjusting SIR /Deductible levels
without a significant amount of additional exposure. Staff recommend the Village purchase
property and excess workers compensation insurance from Arthur J. Gallagher and Co. with
premium and broker's fees not to exceed $172,081.
Trustee Polit stated he was reluctant to vote in support of the request because the Village is not
responsible for the increase and the lack of competitive pricing.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve request to accept 2013 Property
and Workers Compensation Insurance Program in an amount not to exceed $172,081.

FLOOD STUDY B. Motion to accept proposal from Burns & McDonnell consulting engineers to provide specified
PHASE 1 design engineering services and bidding assistance for the 2011 Comprehensive Flood
PROJECTS Study Phase1 projects in an amount not to exceed $109,069.94.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information and staff recommendation
for the request to accept proposal from Burns & McDonnell for engineering services for the Flood
Study Phase 1 projects.
Mr. Dorsey identified the Phase 1 flood improvement projects to be constructed during the 2013
construction season; Hatlen Heights storm and sanitary sewer improvements; Lonnquist
combined and storm sewer improvements, Golfview Estates stormwater improvements and
Lawrence Lane storm sewer improvements. Noting the scope of work for the Golfview Estates
stormwater improvements (re- grading existing ditches and replacing culvert pipes) Mr. Dorsey
stated the project was designed in -house by the engineering division and will be bid independent
of the other Phase 1 projects. As the scope of work for the remaining Phase 1 projects which
includes open -cut excavation staff lacks the resources and expertise to prepare satisfactory
plans, specifications and bidding documents necessary to construct the projects. Mr. Dorsey
added staff anticipates there will be a cost savings by combining these projects into a single
project.
At staff's request, Burns & McDonnell, engineering consultants, submitted a cost proposal to
provide the requested professional services for the Phase 1 projects in an amount not to exceed
$109,069.94. (Burns & McDonnell conducted the Village's 2011 Comprehensive Flood Study
and developed recommendations including all of the Phase 1 projects.) Their extensive
knowledge of the Village's sewer, systems, drainage patterns and flooding problems makes
Burns & McDonnell well qualified to design these improvements. In addition, Burns & McDonnell
proposal reflected a 3% ($58,930) savings from the expected design fees. The savings was
attributed to the work already conducted as part of the flood study and their familiarity with the
Village's standard specifications and sewer construction codes.
Staff recommend the Village Board accept the proposal from Burns & McDonnell for specified
design engineering services and bidding assistance for the 2011 Comprehensive Flood Study
Phase 1 improvements for an amount not to exceed $109,069.94.
Village Board Comments
-Support proposal — Burns & McDonnell extensive knowledge of project /individual properties.
-Benefit having firm residents know and trust.
-Cost savings benefit to Village.
-Phase 1 projects — Village commitment to residents to address flooding issues.
-Phase 1 project improvements do not solve flooding issues forever; project objective 25 year
flood.
Trustee Zadel stated he fully supports the project and concurs with staff request for engineering
services, however, in accordance of the ethical standards pertaining to potential conflict of
interest for elected officials he will abstain from voting.
Trustee Polit, seconded by Trustee Hoefert, moved for approval to accept proposal from Burns &
McDonnell consulting engineers to provide specified design engineering services and bidding
assistance for the 2011 Comprehensive Flood Study Phase 1 projects in an amount not to
exceed $109,069.94.

COPIER LEASE & C. Copier Lease and Maintenance Agreement
MAINTENANCE 1. Motion to approve agreement with Nexus Office Systems to lease five (5) copiers for a four
AGREEMENT (4) year period in an amount not to exceed $62,928.
2. Motion to approve a one (1) year maintenance agreement with Nexus Office Equipment
in an amount not to exceed $13,140.
Finance Director Dave Erb provided background information and staff recommendation to
approve lease and maintenance agreements with Nexus Office Equipment for five (5) copiers.
Currently all Village copiers are leased; lease agreements with Chicago Office Technology
Group (COTG) for Police, Fire and Clerk's copiers four (4) Toshiba and one (1) Xerox) end
January of 2013. As part of the replacement process staff evaluated copier service and
reliability; staff indicated an overall dissatisfaction with the Toshiba copier and COTG
maintenance service. In addition staff evaluated the service and reliability of the Canon copiers
through Nexus Office Systems for the Finance, IT and Human Services Departments. Based on
the level of satisfaction with the Canon copiers and service provided by Nexus, staff sought
proposals for Canon copiers.
Proposals for lease and maintenance of Canon copiers were received from Nexus and Gordon
Flesch. Nexus submitted proposals of $62,928 for five (5) copiers; four (4) year lease agreement
and $52,560 for annual maintenance agreement; four (4) years. Gordon Flesch submitted
proposals of $63,144 for five (5) copiers; four (4) year lease agreement and $38,376 for annual
maintenance agreement; four (4) years.
Mr. Erb referenced the supplemental memo to staff's request which requested the motion to
approve a one -year maintenance agreement with Nexus for $13,140. He noted that while an
alternate quote for annual maintenance from Gordon Flesch was $3,546 less than Nexus staff
believe the benefits utilizing a single vendor for service and the already demonstrated strong
customer service from Nexus justify the additional cost. If approved all Village copiers will be
Canon; 9 total copiers.
Trustee Juracek thanked staff for the additional information and clarification of the request with
the supplemental memo.
Trustee Juracek, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve agreement with Nexus Office
Systems to lease five (5) copiers for a four (4) year period in an amount not to exceed $62,928.
