AMEND CHAPTER E. 1 St reading of An Ordinance Amending Chapter 11 "Merchants, Businesses, Occupations and 11, "MERCHANTS, Amusements" of the Village Code of Mount Prospect. BUSINESSES, OCCUPATIONS Mayor Juracek presented the ordinance Amending Chapter 11 "Merchants, Businesses, AND AMUSEMENTS Occupations and Amusements" of the Village Code of Mount Prospect. OF THE VILLAGE CODE Village Manager Janonis provided background information stating this ordinance amends Chapter 11 regulating the sale and possession of e- cigarettes in accordance with amendments to "The Prevention of Tobacco Use by Minors and Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products Act. He noted the tobacco regulations are cited in two (2) different chapters of the Village Code; the ordinance presented only addresses the regulations cited in Chapter 11. For enforcement purposes Village Manager Janonis recommended the ordinance be revised to cover both Chapters 11 and 23; allows the Police Department to uniformly cite this one (1) section of the Village Code for issuance of a ticket Village Manager Janonis stated the proposed ordinance would regulate the sale and possession of e- cigarettes for minors (under the age 18.) He stated, unlike Chicago, the ordinance would not regulate or ban the use of e- cigarettes in business establishments including restaurants. The Village regulation of e- cigarettes would allow establishments to set their own policy; allow or ban the use in the individual establishment. He noted School District 214 has already implemented a ban on e- cigarettes. Mayor Juracek stated it was appropriate to defer Item E. An Ordinance Amending Chapter 11 "Merchants, Businesses, Occupations and Amusements" of the Village Code of Mount Prospect to allow for the necessary revisions. However, she did allow for discussion so the Trustees could share their position on allowing businesses to establish their own policies regarding the use of e- cigarettes. After the general discussion which highlighted the difference between the second -hand effects of tobacco products and non - tobacco devices there appeared to be support for allowing businesses to establish their own policies rather than the Village enforcing a total ban on e- cigarettes. As there is no known negative impact to individuals exposed to e- cigarettes (odorless /no smoke) businesses should be allowed to make their own decisions. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to defer item E. An Ordinance Amending Chapter 11 "Merchants, Businesses, Occupations and Amusements" of the Village Code of Mount Prospect until the February 4, 2014 Village Board meeting. MANAGER'S MANAGER'S REPORT REPORT A. Motion to authorize change order to Deep Well 5 rehabilitation in an amount not to exceed $301,914. DEEP WELL 5, CHANGE ORDER Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information including 1) televising of the well (2012) and repairs in spring 2013; 2) discovery of additional holes in well -liner after initial repairs were complete 3) review of options from consulting engineers and 4) staff recommendation. As part of the recommendation process staff performed an extensive review of all standby wells - to determine if the Village's emergency water demand could be met with as few as four (4) wells instead of the existing five (5). This process assisted in the determination of whether Well 5 could be abandoned in lieu of further repair. It is the opinion of staff that Well 5 should not be abandoned: 1) Well 5 facility is already supported by an emergency stand -by generator and 2) Well 5 has greater storage capacity, overall pumping capacity and impact on transmission mains.
