PUBLIC WISHING TO ADDRESS THE BOARD: None Page 1 of 6 Page 6 of 50  MINUTES OF MAYOR NELSON AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE VILLAGE OF FLOSSMOOR, ILLINOIS HELD ON MAY 18, 2026 VILLAGE HALL May 18, 2026 7:00 PM DRAFT CONSENT AGENDA: Mayor Nelson called for a Motion to approve Consent Agenda Items #3-8. Trustee Mustafa so moved, Trustee Dorsey seconded. Mayor Nelson asked if there were any items on the Consent Agenda that were requested to be removed for discussion, and there were none. A vote on the Motion was presented and passed unanimously by a roll call vote. AYES: Trustees Daggett, Dorsey, Lofton, Mitros, Mustafa, and Rodgers ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None NAYS: None REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS: Mayor Nelson stated there were no formal reports from the Commissions and announced that Flossmoor’s Public Art Commission extended its deadline for submissions to June 7, 2026, for its upcoming auction fundraiser (https://www.artflossmoor.com/). ACTION ITEMS: Agenda Item #9: Consideration of an Award of Contract for the Flossmoor Library Floor Rehabilitation Mayor Nelson called for a Motion to approve Action Item #9. Trustee Daggett so moved, Trustee Mustafa seconded. This action item was presented by Village Manager Wachtel, who provided the history and background about the investigation into the sinkhole at the west side of the library facility that the Village learned about in February of 2025. Village Manager Wachtel discussed the library building ownership, the extensive investigation into the cause of the sinkhole and the results of that investigation. Director Brunke and experts retained by the Village concluded that the clay soil used to backfill the site in 2003/2004, which has now dried out and shrunk, is the root cause of the problem. This cause is not covered by insurance. Director Brunke noted that the cost of the repair could be between $43,000 and $50,000 to address all the voids identified in the survey. The Village has not historically budgeted for building repairs to the Library. Should the Village assume the full cost of the work, the money would either come from fund balance or at the expense of another Village operation (i.e., services like $50,000 less in sidewalk repairs or parkway tree trimming, or a capital asset purchase equivalent to one squad car). The Village attorney was consulted and advised that under the Intergovernmental Agreement (hereafter “IGA”) between the Page 2 of 6 Page 7 of 50  MINUTES OF MAYOR NELSON AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE VILLAGE OF FLOSSMOOR, ILLINOIS HELD ON MAY 18, 2026 VILLAGE HALL May 18, 2026 7:00 PM DRAFT Village and the Library, it is the Library that is responsible for paying out of pocket for this type of expense. The Library’s GASB 54 disclosures show $1.9 million in fund balance (page 97 in the FY27 budget), and FY 27 expenditures total $1.8 million. Through the GASB 54 disclosures, the Library has committed $617,532 toward unassigned major exterior repair and building maintenance, and another $282,884 in unassigned major interior repair and building maintenance. These monies are in addition to another $475,013 in unassigned fund balance. Village Manager Wachtel asked for questions from the Board. The Board engaged in lengthy back- and-forth discussions with Library Board President, Natasha Bergeron, Library Executive Director Jamie Paicely, and Village Attorney Miller, about who was responsible for paying for these repairs. This discussion focused on the following topics: (a) The purpose and intent of the IGA; (b) The roles and responsibilities of the Village and the Library under the longstanding terms of IGA; (c) Attorney Miller’s legal research, and ultimate conclusions that, pursuant to the longstanding and agreed upon terms of the IGA that it is the Library that has 100% financial responsibility for these repairs; (d) Representations by Bergeron and Paicely about how the Library’s attorney, who was not present, told them that the Village should pay for the repairs; (e) The Library having more than enough of its own financial resources to pay for 100% of all of the anticipated costs and expenses associated with the repairs; (f) Trustee Daggett’s suggestion that the Village and the Library share the costs and expenses as a compromise; and (g) How the Village would have to amend the budget it recently passed, and make a decision on what services and capital projects to cut from its budget, if it agreed to the Library’s request to pay for these repairs. There was also much discussion about how the Library has accumulated an incredibly large surplus of funds, and how the Library should be using these surplus funds. A vote on the Motion was presented and by a unanimous roll call vote, the Motion did not pass. AYES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None NAYS: Trustees Daggett, Dorsey, Lofton, Mitros, Mustafa, and Rodgers DISCUSSION ITEMS: Agenda Item #10: Discussion to Permanently Make a No Left Turn from Eastbound Flossmoor Road onto Northbound Braemar Road This discussion item was presented by Police Chief Estelle, who discussed why this request, to permanently make a no left turn from eastbound Flossmoor Road onto Northbound Braemer Road, Page 3 of 6 Page 8 of 50  MINUTES OF MAYOR NELSON AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE VILLAGE OF FLOSSMOOR, ILLINOIS HELD ON MAY 18, 2026 VILLAGE HALL May 18, 2026 7:00 PM DRAFT was for safety reasons. Chief Police Estelle stated there are numerous “close calls” and “near misses” with drivers and pedestrians throughout the day at this turn. He wants to start the discussion with the Board, residents, and the school district to explore ways to make the traffic pattern safer for all residents. Mayor Nelson asked the Board for questions and comments for Chief Estelle on this proposal. The Board responded with comments about the following: (a) Praise for Chief Estelle for recognizing unsafe traffic patterns and taking action to implement changes to make the Village roads safer; (b) Suggestions for other traffic control devices; (c) The traffic pattern at Parker Junior High; and (d) Potential ways to direct bus traffic and school traffic around Parker Junior High. The discussion concluded with the Board giving unanimous consent to Chief Estelle to move forward with exploring this discussion item. Mayor Nelson stated the Board needed to have an Executive Session, and before doing so, asked if there was any other business. The Board responded as follows: OTHER BUSINESS Trustee Rodgers: Recognized Finance Director Ann Novoa for successfully negotiating the Village’s health insurance premiums, and gave thanks to the police department for evaluating safety concerns on Village streets that are near schools. Trustee Mustafa: Expressed thanks for the addition of “Land Jacks” by Jason Verbeek (https://www.artflossmoor.com/collection?lightbox=dataItem-lah33c45) to the Village’s permanent sculpture collection.

Wachtel, Village Manager CC: FROM: John S. Brunke, Public Works Director DATE: June 1, 2026 RE: Consideration of an Award of Contract for the FY27 MFT Street Resurfacing Program On May 20, 2026, sealed bids were opened for the FY27 MFT Street Resurfacing Program. This annual program is part of the Village’s Finance & Facilities Plan. The major component of the program is to mill and resurface approximately 1 to 1 ½ miles of Village streets, depending on available funding. The program also includes spot curb repairs and sidewalk replacement with ADA modifications in the necessary areas on the streets where resurfacing work is performed. In past years, the program included mid-block sidewalk replacement work in order to have a fully restored street section once the program was completed on that street. Due to current construction costs, Staff moved away from this model for this year in order to complete as much street resurfacing work as possible with the program budget. By making this change, only the ADA sidewalk improvements at the intersections will be completed with the resurfacing program, and any mid-block sidewalk in need of repair will need to wait for the sidewalk replacement program to capture and repair. The FY27 approved budget for this program is $500,000 (Motor Fuel Tax Fund). The streets included in this year’s program are: • Gordon Dr (Bruce Ave to Sterling Ave) • Gardner Rd (Vardon Ln to Hutchison Rd) • Scott Cr (Berry Ln to Lawrence Cr) • Lawrence Cr (Lawrence Cr to MacHeath Cr) • Douglas Ave (Scott Cr to Maryland Ave) (*Total Length – 0.84 miles) Attached for reference is a bid tabulation. Below is a summary of the bids received: Bidder Total Bid Gallager Asphalt Corp. $420,885.41 D Construction, Inc. $427,637.48 Iroquois Paving Corp. $454,225.29 Page 31 of 50 McGill Construction, LLC. $484,466.70 K-Five Construction Corp. $491,888.15 Engineer’s Cost Opinion $493,273.54 The lowest qualified bidder is Gallagher Asphalt Corporation. The Village has worked with Gallagher Asphalt on a number of projects over the years, and their work has always been of good quality. They previously completed the FY25 MFT Resurfacing Project. Since the project came in under the approved budget, Public Works Staff is going to develop a FY27 MFT patching project for Flossmoor Road, between Governors Highway and Sterling Ave, to help hold that section of the road in better condition until the future STP project can be funded. With the above discussion in mind, Public Works recommends that the Mayor and Board of Trustees award the FY27 MFT Street Resurfacing contract to Gallagher Asphalt Corporation of Thornton, Illinois, in the amount of $420,885.41.

This is the same grant that offset the installation of cameras in the downtown area. Through this grant, Meijer Inc has agreed to allow the camera to be on their property and use Meijer’s electrical power. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to place the cameras on Meijer’s property has been drafted, reviewed, and signed by the legal representation of Meijer Inc. The Village Attorney has also approved the MOU. The location of Meijer’s property is 3740 Vollmer Road-Meijer Gas Station. The camera will be pole-mounted adjacent to the gas station marquee sign. The installation of cameras near retail centers helps the Police Department monitor, investigate, and track trends in retail theft crimes. The Police Department and the local businesses will benefit from the installation of these cameras. The cameras in Flossmoor's downtown district were instrumental in the investigation of traffic crashes and theft of catalytic converters, as well as the successful charging of a burglary of a business and a hate crime involving graffiti on public buildings and public art. The second phase will fund the camera installation on Meijer’s gas station property. These cameras will directly monitor the AT&T strip mall and Meijer gas station while covering Traditions Drive and the Meijer parking lot. The second phase also funded the installation of a camera near the Flossmoor Commons strip mall. This camera covers the Governors Highway entrance into the Flossmoor Commons parking lot as well as the alley behind the Flossmoor Commons. With the above considerations in mind, staff recommends that the Village Board approve the attached ordinance approving a license and a memorandum of understanding for a camera installation at 3740 Vollmer Road.

In order to finance the project, the Developer has requested financial assistance from the Village and after an investigation of the Subject Property and adjacent properties, it was determined that the Subject Property and adjacent properties could qualify as a “redevelopment project area” (a “TIF”) under the TIF Act. Assuming the Village is able to establish a new TIF, the Village could use incremental revenues available to it as the result of the adoption of the TIF Act to reimburse the Developer for eligible redevelopment project costs. Accordingly, it is recommended, while the Village is working on the establishment of a new TIF, that the expenses the Developer must incur for architectural and engineering plans for the project be considered as eligible redevelopment project costs, in the event a redevelopment agreement is approved. The proposed Ordinance, in the form attached, is the means by which the current costs and expenses for the Project may be reimbursable in the event, and only in the event, a TIF is established and a redevelopment agreement is approved. This Ordinance does not commit or obligate the Village to proceed with a TIF or approve a redevelopment agreement. 1 Page 39 of 50  Resolution No. 2026- ____ A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE OF FLOSSMOOR, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, TO INDUCE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES WITHIN THE PROPOSED SOUTHWEST FLOSSMOOR TAX INCREMENT REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA WHEREAS, the Village of Flossmoor, Cook County, Illinois (the “Village”), is a duly organized and validly existing non-home rule municipality of the State of Illinois pursuant to the 1970 Illinois Constitution and the Illinois Municipal Code, as from time to time amended (the “Municipal Code”) (65 ILCS 5/65-1-1-2, et. seq.); and, WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village (the “Corporate Authorities”), have authorized an eligibility study and report with respect to certain properties within the Village generally described as the vacant parcels fronting Vollmer Road from Central Park Avenue to the Meijer’s gas station and the parcels fronting 198th Street from the Public Works facility on the west and then east to Crawford Avenue north of the Meijer store (the “Proposed Project Area”) for the purpose of determining if the Proposed Project Area qualifies as a “blighted area” under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-1 et.

The proposed ordinance is intended to provide clear and enforceable standards regarding excessive and unreasonable noise within the Village while balancing the needs of residents, businesses, community organizations, and legitimate activities. The purpose of this amendment is to address situations where excessive, unnecessary, unnatural, or unusually loud noise becomes detrimental to the public health, comfort, safety, welfare, and property of Village residents. Over time, the Police Department has responded to numerous complaints involving loud music, disruptive gatherings, vehicle noise, shouting, construction activities, and other noise-related disturbances that negatively impact neighboring residents and their quality of life. While officers have attempted to address these issues through voluntary compliance and existing nuisance provisions, the Village currently lacks a comprehensive noise ordinance that clearly defines prohibited conduct and establishes objective standards for enforcement. The proposed amendment would prohibit excessive, unnecessary, or unusually loud noise that disturbs the peace, comfort, health, or safety of others. The ordinance establishes a measurable standard by prohibiting noise that is plainly audible at a distance of fifty (50) feet from its source. This objective standard provides residents, businesses, and law enforcement personnel with a clear understanding of what constitutes a violation. The ordinance identifies specific activities that are considered loud, disturbing, and unnecessary noises, including but not limited to: ● Excessive vehicle horn use except in emergencies. ● Loud radios, stereos, musical instruments, and sound-producing devices that disturb neighboring residents. ● Commercial advertising through amplified sound projected onto public streets. ● Unreasonable yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling, or singing that disturbs others. ● Animals creating frequent or prolonged noise disturbances. ● Vehicles operating in a manner that produces excessive rattling, grinding, or other unnecessary noise. ● Construction, demolition, excavation, and repair activities conducted outside designated hours. Page 44 of 50  ● Noise that interferes with the operation of schools, hospitals, churches, and similar institutions. ● Unreasonable operation of snow removal equipment, blowers, and other noise-producing machinery. Recognizing that certain activities serve important public purposes, the ordinance also includes reasonable exemptions. Emergency operations, activities required by law, emergency utility and street repair. These exemptions ensure that necessary activities may continue while still protecting residents from unreasonable disturbances. The approval of this amendment will provide the Village with a modern and practical tool to address recurring noise complaints, improve neighborhood quality of life, promote peaceful enjoyment of residential property, and provide clear guidance for both residents and enforcement personnel. The ordinance is designed to encourage voluntary compliance while providing a fair enforcement mechanism when necessary. The Flossmoor Police Department respectfully recommends approval of this amendment to Chapter 200 of the Municipal Code.
