PARK DISTRICT AWARD
The Buffalo Grove Park District has been named a finalist for the 2009 National gold medal award for Park and
Recreation Management for excellence and planning for communities of 25,001-50,000. The winner will be named
in October.
PUBLIC SERVICE CENTER EXPANSION
Village Manager Bill Brimm gave a brief update on the proposed expansion of the Public Service Center. At the
April 6,2009 meeting the project was reviewed and approved through the design development phase. The next step
would be the Board's authorization to proceed with the development and preparation of the construction documents.
It is a major undertaking and would get the project ready should the Board decide to proceed and go to bid. It would
then be"shovel ready"for construction.
Deputy Village Manager Ghida Neukirch provided a project update. This proposed project will add 13,300 sq. ft.to
address space constraints and safety concerns at the facility. Staff is looking for direction on how to proceed with
the fmancial aspect of the project. Staff is proposing issuing a General Obligation Bond to fund the project.The
estimated project cost is$4.5 million. Given the economy it is anticipated that bidding will be competitive.
Trustee Braiman said that bond rates are now low and a potential savings,but with the current economic conditions
he could not support continuing with the project.
Trustee Glover said that the Village has always been fiscally responsible and only 10%savings does not seem like it
is the right thing. She is not willing to proceed.
Trustee Trilling believes the 10%savings is only a guestimate until you go out to bid. In light of the economy,a
decrease in the income for the Village and other major projects facing the village,it is difficult to move forward. It
is a project that needs to move forward,but now is not the right time.
Trustee Sussman noted that during the campaign,every candidate agreed the the Village is fiscally responsible.
After touring the Public Service Center she agrees that expansion is needed,but not at this time.
Trustee Stone concurs,but she asked if safety measures could be addressed while waiting for the expansion to take
place.
President Hartstein stated that this board has always been fiscally responsible. In this situation he urges the Board to
• take advantage of the situation with the best interest rates and the opportunity to bring in a project that is needed at
the lowest possible cost. It is fiscally responsible to do so. Every day we wait the costs will go up.
12137
05/18/2009
Trustee Glover agreed that everyone has to make choices and some needs such as the stormwater management are
greater. Increased safety measures should be looked at but not with the building expansion.
Trustee Stone asked if the Village could take advantage of the low interest rates and proceed at this point without
residents being taxed. President Hartstein noted that there has been talk of additional stimulus money coming out of
Washington DC. In order to take advantage of that money,projects need to be"shovel ready". At this point we are
not"shovel ready"and could not get any money. Spending this money does not mean we have to go out to bid or
proceed with the project,it means we would be ready to proceed. Since it is something that everyone agrees that is
needed,these plans can be utilized whenever we can proceed with the expansion.
Mr.Brimm noted that in the past we have been successful with road projects where we have invested the funds to
make the project ready. When there was a call for projects for federal or state funding,we were able to move the
projects ahead. In regard to the tax burden,we provided the most conservative approach towards debt service.
Opportunities may be available if we move the project forward.
The decision facing the Board is whether to proceed and authorize the construction document phase and be prepared
so that the project is"shovel ready". That would require an$113,000 investment and would get the project ready to
go out to bid.At that time there would be a pause,and Staff would return to the board to ask for authorization to bid.
The alternative is to defer the project.
Trustee Braiman requested that Mr.Brimm talk to our legislators to see if seed money is available through the State
or Washington so we do not have to look to our residents for increased tax money to fund the project.
Staff will also look to see if safety and infrastructure issues can be addressed and dealt with separately. Staff will
bring back a list of issues that need to be done.
Moved by Trilling,seconded by Braiman to defer the expansion of the proposed Public Service Center based on the
memo dated May 18,2009.

SAVED BY THE BELT AWARDS

incidents where the use of seat belts saved lives and/or serious injury,as he presented Saved by the Belt awards to
each of them.
Sergeant Kristiansen reviewed the coloring contests that were held for students throughout the Village to promote
bicycle safety and wearing helmets. Each of the winners came forward and was presented with certificates and a
savings bond.
President Hartstein extended congratulations to the recipients of all of the awards
MANAGEMENT REPORT
The April,2009 Monthly Management report is posted to the website.
WILLOW STREAM PARK—Plan Commission Referral
The Park District has submitted plans to renovate the bath house and swimming pool at Willow Stream Park. The
project requires Plan Commission referral. The Village Board would only need to entertain an ordinance for a minor
change to the Preliminary Plan. No Public Hearing would be required,but a Workshop is needed to review the
project and make fmal recommendations to the Board. Staffs recommendation is to refer the project to the Plan
Commission.

AMENDMENT TO THE VILLAGE BOARD MEETING MINUTES OF MAY 18,2009
See September 21,2009 Village Board minutes
From 5/18—(Approved on June 1,2009)
Trustee Stone: These areas that are annexed in and new parcels that are being developed,I find it
concerning that if it's an area that we're taking into Buffalo Grove and now is Buffalo Grove,that we treat
them fully as Buffalo Grove. It looks like we're pretty good customers to Comcast. We're getting 5%of
the revenue per year,which was$568K in 2008,that means that we're really good customers. I'm feeling
that we're in a position that we can say to Comcast that these are areas that now belong in BG and we want
them treated fully as BG,not to have to go get a tape from Village Hall or go to a special channel...it's like
an adoption,they're BG now.I'm hoping that we can do something like that,because it feels funny to have
communities that are now part of our community,but we're treating differently.
Mr.Nelson: Last year he agreed to revisit it at this time. He says there's mechanisms in this agreement that
give them a wider berth to make this happen.
Trustee Stone: I echoed others asking to make the protection of channel 6 more stringent to secure channel
6 will stay ours,and I repeated that the 79 homes are currently not part of our system.
Additionally,I'am bringing a motion to amend the previously adopted minutes of:May 18,2009. The
minutes of May 18,2009 are dated with varying erroneous dates of May 4,May 18 and May 19. I ask that
the dates be amended to their actual date of May 18,2009.
I am also proposing for the sake of clarity as the public has expressed confusion in reading the minutes,that
we include the heading of new business in the Minutes,as it is listed in the Agenda.
I am requesting that my motions be contained,in the minutes of this meeting.

services to continue until a new agreement is signed. The new agreement takes into consideration changes in federal
and state law and technology.
Deputy Village Manager Ghida Neukirch made a presentation on the work undertaken and the proposal. She
introduced Chris Nelson,Government Relations manager representing Comcast. Customer service obligations are
set forth in state law,but also are franchise fees,public educational and governmental programming.
Trustee Glover confirmed that Mr.Raysa is in agreement with this ordinance. She noted that the residents of
Columbia Gardens,annexed in 2003 do not have Comcast and asked why they do not.
Mrs.Neukirch replied that developed areas that are later annexed,do have cable service,but not Channel 6
programming. If they have AT&T,they do have access to Channel 6. 80-85%of Buffalo Grove is ready for AT&T
service. She verified that residents of Columbia Gardens do have access to AT&T,therefore access to Channel 6.
Mrs.Neukirch offered to take a look again at the construction costs and take a polling of the new Board to see if it is
something they want to pursue. Trustee Glover suggested that we need to better communicate with those residents
that AT&T and access to the Board meetings is available to them.
President Hartstein finds it bothersome that all Buffalo Grove residents do no have access to view the Board
meetings and public access. Comcast assumes responsibility for all residents to see the Board meeting. He asked
Mr.Nelson if there is something that can be done to assure public access of Board meetings. Mr.Nelson replied
that it can happen. Monitory penalty is significant if Channel 6 is not available or if it is moved to a different
channel.
Trustee Sussman added that weekly many channels are changed and asked if Buffalo Grove could guarantee that
Channel 6 will not be moved. Mr.Nelson responded that many changes are requested by the programmers. In this
case the programmer is the Village and they do not want to be moved,which is the strong motivator.
Trustee Braiman asked for a significant financial obligation on the part of Comcast not to move Channel 6. He likes
the on-demand feature for viewing the Board meetings. Mr.Nelson replied that Buffalo Grove would be the first to
use the on demand option and will look to putting Buffalo Grove meetings on an access station in Vernon Hills for
the Columbia Gardens residents,until we have a long term solutions. He will have an answer before the next
meeting. Moved by Braiman seconded by Glover to defer consideration until next meeting.
Trustee Glover added that since residents now have television choices,and if Comcast would like to be a better
partner,they should put more money into that issue.

Motion declared carried.
ORDINANCE No.2009-27—Twin Creeks Park
Moved by Trilling,seconded by Glover to approve Ordinance No.2009-27, Special Use: Parking Lot Expansion at
Twin Creeks Park.
Mr.Brimm reviewed the proposal as presented at the January 19,2009 Board meeting. Buffalo Grove Park District
proposed that Twin Creeks Park parking lot be used as an ice skating rink in the winter and offer additional parking
for activities at the park in the summer. A unanimous recommendation came from the Plan Commission to proceed
with the process. Staff recommends moving ahead with the Special Use.
Mr. Raysa answered a question from Trustee Trilling,that yes,the lease specifically sets forth that the Buffalo
Grove Park District indemnifies the Village from any action that may accrue as part of the lease.
Mr.Green answered a question from Trustee Braiman that the parking lot is designed to be environmentally
sensitive. Drainage will occur by sloping the parking lot,allowing water to drain into a wetland. Drainage outlets
that will allow drainage in the summertime can be closed in the winter to allow ice to be made. There
12140
05/18/2009
will be a shelter which can be used in summer and winter which is next to the bike path. Bathroom facilities can
remain open without access to the building,but will be locked when the park closes
Mike Rylko said that the Park District is in the process of screening in all bathroom facilities in parks. Emmerich
Park will be open for games beginning May 28 and the facilities will be dedicated July 3,2009.
This parking lot is the largest that can fit on this property. When more parking is needed,there are two van parking
spots. Additional parking is available on Aptakisic Road by the soccer fields. He confirmed that the maximum
number of handicapped parking spaces is available.
Trustee Sussman noted that during Buffalo Grove Days,a van was available,but few people took advantage of it.

Motion declared carried.
TORAH ACADEMY—Plan Commission Referral
Mr.Brimm reviewed the proposal. Torah Academy is housed in Congregation Beth Am,225 McHenry Road.
Plans have been submitted to lease space in the facility for an elementary school. Congregation Beth Am was
approved as a Special Use for a place of worship and related uses including religious education. Staff recommends
the proposed use be referred to the Plan Commission for workshop review and recommendation.
Rabbi Zehnwirth stated that the classroom space would be used for the congregation on the weekends and the Torah
Academy would use the space during the week.
In response to a question from Trustee Braiman,Rabbi Zehnworth explained that the Illinois State Board of
Education certification occurs after the first year. There is no registration to start the school. DCFS licensing is
needed only if it is a day care facility. Trustee Braiman requested the Plan Commission look at the parking
situation.
Moved by Trilling,seconded by Braiman to refer to the Plan Commission,the Torah Academy at Congregation Beth
Am,225 McHenry Road consistent with the memorandum dated May 18,2009.

ORDINANCE No.2009-28—Lot 9005,Villas of Buffalo Creek
Moved by Braiman,seconded by Trilling,to approve Ordinance No.2009-28,approving a lease with the Buffalo
Grove Park District for Lot 9005 in the Villas of Buffalo Creek Unit One Subdivision, in accordance with the
memorandum and the draft of the lease dated April 30,2009.
Mr.Brimm noted that the lease has been reviewed by both counsels of the Park District and the Village and both
find it to fair to protect both parties.
Trustee Braiman questioned Mr.Brimm on the term of the lease of up to fifty years,and the possibility that the
village would need to use it for other use before the first twenty-five years. Mr.Brimm replied that he could not
foresee any municipal use or reason to terminate the lease within the first 25 years. Trustee Braiman requested that
at some point the Village and Park District discuss the possibility that if some time within the first twenty-five years
a well needs to be drilled,the Village could drill the well and the Park District could use the top portion for
recreational events.

ORDINANCE No.2009-29—Authorization to borrow funds
Moved by Braiman,seconded by Glover to approve Ordinance No.2009-29,authorizing the Village of Buffalo
Grove,Cook and Lake Counties,Illinois to borrow funds from the Water Pollution Control Loan Program dated
5/11/2009A.
Mr.Brimm explained that the Village has an opportunity to participate with IEPA to access federal stimulus funding
used for capital projects such as Cambridge on the Lake,and the Old Treatment Plant lift stations. These projects
will go ahead even if we do not receive funding. This funding is available under the water pollution control loan
program. The ordinance authorizes the Village to borrow up to$498,000 for lift station improvements. Initial
paperwork has been submitted which establishes the project and borrowing objectives,but still needs to be approved
by the IEPA.The stimulus carries a 0%interest for 20 year's and 25%of the principle will be forgiven. Staff
recommends approval of the authorization to borrow,so if the project is approved we can move quickly.
Two companion resolutions which go with this ordinance which would authorize the Village Manager to sign the
loan documents and to participate if necessary,in the National Flood Insurance Program if required by the IEPA.
Both items are required by the application.
Trustee Trilling asked if the funding does not occur,does the village have the funds in reserve? Yes,the projects are
planned with village financing or federal stimulus finding.
Trustee Braiman verified that the projects are necessary and must go forward in order to maintain the integrity of the
water system.

FIRE STATION 26 ADDITIONAND RENOVATION
Finance Director, Scott Anderson reviewed the history of the project. This project focuses on functional
improvements, Staff is re uestln to move the project into the designdevelopment stage which will_ring the project
p g l� JP g g
closer to be"shovel ready"when applications for federal stimulus funds potentially become available. The next
phase would be preparation of construction documents.
Trustee Trilling complemented the Staff on their work so far on the project. It is a great opportunity if the timing
was right,but the timing is not right.
In answer to a question from President Hartstein,Mr.Anderson replied that to move the project through construction
would be from$1.1 -$1.4 million depending on the final plan.The stimulus funding applications will be available
in approximately thirty days.
President Hartstein asked Chief Vavra to explain what component of the project relates to pubic safety. Chief Vavra
explained that the ladder truck should be at Station 26 which is in the middle of town. It cannot be located there due
to the height of the doors,which is part of the project.Also needed are sufficient restrooms,work out room and
kitchen facilities.
Trustee Stone toured the fire station. She would like to see the firefighters have the facilities that are important to
meet the firefighter's basic needs. She would like to see the project proceed.
12142
05/18/2009
Trustee Sussman respected the firefighters for wanting only what is economical and getting the most for the money
available.
Trustee Braiman approves and supports the Department by giving them the necessary tools needed to do their jobs.
He does not believe that this is needed to make their jobs better or more functional. The expansion of the workout
room or sleep area does not make a difference in the performance of their jobs. He believes that the
doors can be retrofitted. He believes it is worth the risk to spend the$18,000 in order to move the project through
the design development phase to have it be"shovel ready"if stimulus funds become available.
Trustee Glover restated her opinion that she is a"no"for the entire process because of the economy. She believes
that the doors should be retrofitted at a lower cost. The showers proposed are nice,but not at this time. Stimulus
money is not guaranteed. Now is not the time for this project.
President Hartstein agreed that the stimulus money is not guaranteed,but if we do not spend this money to be
"shovel ready"we will not get any funds.
Trustee Trilling clarified that the$18,000 gets you through design development. An additional$36,000 gets the
project to"shovel ready",which is a total of$54,000.
Trustee Stone says the welfare of the firefighters is worth the money.
Trustee Trilling is concerned about the apparatus not being in the center of the Village because of the over head
door. The building space issues are constraining,but do not prevent someone from showering or working out. He
would move to the next phase,but have the architect prepare a construction document that is ready for just the
expansion of the overhead door.
Chief Vavra proposed that the architect design the project into modular pieces. It would give options of selection of
parts of the project to do or doing it all.
Trustee Trilling asked if we could discuss with the architect,a proposal to design the overhead door improvement
separate from the rest of the project.
Chief Vavra replied that improvement of the door moving is a positive move.
Trustee Stone believes the firefighter's welfare is being downplayed.
Moved by Trilling,seconded by Glover to defer the motion until the requested information comes back to the Board
at the next meeting.
Staff will contact the architect and suggest deferring design development of the entire project and talk specifically
about cost of construction documents to retrofit the door for efficient use.
Properly evaluate pros and cons of the entire project versus just the doors.
Upon voice vote,motion declared carried.
RESOLUTION No.2009-25 Representative to sign loan documents
Moved by Braiman,seconded by Glover,to approve Resolution No.2009-25,authorizing a representative to sign
loan documents,according to the document before the Board dated May 9,2009.
This is a companion to the loan authorization ordinance allowing Mr.Brimm to execute any documents specific to
the proposed borrowing provided by the IEPA. Upon roll call,Trustees voted as follows:
