CALL TO ORDER Vice Chairman Skip Robertson called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. Commissioners Jim Conroy, John Healy, Norm Kurtz, Tom Lowe, and Dan Novak were present. Also present were Mayor Irvana Wilks; Bill Cooney, Director of Community Development; Brian Simmons, Deputy Director of Community Development; Nellie Beckner, Long Range Planner; and Maura El Metennani, Public Information Officer. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the June 21, 2012 meeting were reviewed and approved unanimously. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD There were no citizens present. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Cooney provided a brief update on various development projects throughout the Village. He asked Mr. Conroy to provide an overview of the leasing efforts at Randhurst Village. Mr. Cooney stated that Staff followed up on many of the items discussed at the previous meeting regarding the Kensington Business Center. The primary issue that Staff reviewed was a comparison of property taxes in the Kensington Park versus other similar parks in Cook County. He stated Staff compared tax rates with industrial properties in Northbrook, Schaumburg, and Wheeling to determine if there was an obvious discrepancy between those. He stated our rates were very similar to the Schaumburg and Wheeling rates. He stated the Northbrook rate was nearly fifty (50) percent less and after reviewing further, it was found that the primary reason for that was due to the overall Equalized Assessed Value (EAV). He stated other than the Northbrook comparison; the tax rates were similar to the other communities. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Cooney indicated that the Village completed two (2) annexations on the south end of town. The Village annexed approximately fifteen (15) acres of the western portion of the United Airlines' campus Page 1 of 2 10/18/12 EDC minutes irGSxn pros mct nL1VOR Irc ana F. Wilks TRUSTEES Paul A.

He said it is very challenging to cross the major streets that bisect the downtown.
