PUBLIC COMMENTARY
Gail Becke spoke thanking the Village for the Multimodal Survey; she is looking forward to
seeing the results. She also spoke regarding the arrival of a beaver, now living in Diamond
Lake. The beaver is doing what they do--toppling trees to build their homes, and Ms.
Becke strongly recommends that the Park District cage up the small trees planted near the
lake to prevent them from falling victim to the beaver.
Martina Rocha spoke as a member of the Early Education group. She spoke as to the need
for changes to the Village's daycare ordinances to increase the amount of children
permitted to 12. Mayor Meier pointed out that this issue had been discussed at the
Committee of the Whole, which was held an hour before.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
None.

MAYORAL PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING APRIL 24, 2026, AS ARBOR DAY
WHEREAS, in 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special
day be set aside for the planting of trees, and
WHEREAS, the holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million

wildlife; and
WHEREAS, trees are a renewable resource, giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires,
and countless other wood products; and
WHEREAS, trees in our Village increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business
areas, and beautify our community; and
WHEREAS, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal.

From: Lynne Monroe, Assistant Village Administrator
For: Village Board Meeting of April 13, 2026
Subject: Amending Village Code: Director of Public Works and Engineering
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
None
Background:
The Village Code currently establishes a combined Director of Public Works/Village Engineer position,
requiring that the appointee be a licensed civil engineer in Illinois. This requirement appears in
Section 2.16.010, which states that the director “shall be a licensed civil engineer” and includes both
administrative and engineering responsibilities in a single role.
Previously, the Village had filled this combined role with a single individual responsible for both
public works operations and professional engineering functions. However, the Village’s operational
structure and staffing approach are evolving. The Village intends to appoint a new Director of Public
Works whose background is in public works leadership and department management, but who will
not be a licensed engineer.
Because of this change, and because the Village will outsource engineering services to a qualified
engineering firm or consultant, the Municipal Code must be amended to eliminate the licensure
requirement and formally separate the two roles.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Title 2, Chapter 2.16 of the Village Code to separate the
position of Village Engineer from the Director of Public Works and Engineering, with the Director
continuing to lead the Department of Public Works and Engineering and engineering services to be
provided through an outsourced Village Engineer.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 2, CHAPTER 2.16 OF THE MUNDELEIN VILLAGE CODE TO SEPARATE
THE VILLAGE ENGINEER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein, Lake County, Illinois, is a home-rule municipality as contemplated
under Article VII, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and the passage of this Ordinance

the State of Illinois; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein has established the combined position of Director of Public
Works/Village Engineer under Chapter 2.16 of the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein now desires to separate the roles of Director of Public Works and
Village Engineer in order to improve administrative efficiency and allow the Village to obtain
engineering services from qualified outside professional firms; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities find that the duties of public works administration and
professional engineering services are sufficiently distinct that each function should be performed by
individuals or entities with specialized qualifications; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein has approved outsourced engineering services and therefore no
longer requires the Director of Public Works to be a licensed civil engineer; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works and Engineering will continue to include both public works
operations and engineering functions, and the Director of Public Works shall continue to serve as the
head of the Public Works and Engineering Department, even though engineering services will now be
provided by an outsourced Village Engineer; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities find that these changes will better serve the operational, financial,
and infrastructure needs of the Village; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees have determined that revising Chapter 2.16 of the Village

MUNDELEIN, COUNTY OF LAKE, ILLINOIS, that:
SECTION I: Purpose.

the Public Works and Engineering Department and shall possess such experience, training, and
knowledge in public works administration and departmental leadership as the mayor and board of
trustees deem appropriate.
The Director of Public Works and Engineering is not required to be a licensed civil engineer, as
engineering services will be provided by the Village Engineer under separate appointment or contract.
The Director of Public Works and Engineering shall be appointed by the mayor with the consent of the
board of trustees. No elected official shall receive such an appointment while serving in that capacity.
SECTION III: Creation of New Section 2.16.015 (Village Engineer — Establishment and Appointment).

The Village Engineer shall be appointed or contracted by the mayor with the consent of the board of
trustees.

except that references to “director of public works/village engineer” are updated to read “Director of

however, all technical engineering duties formerly assigned to the director shall now be performed by
the Village Engineer as set forth in Section 2.16.030(2).
B. Village Engineer Duties. Section 2.16.030(2) is amended to apply solely to the Village Engineer.
It shall read:
2.16.030(2) Village Engineer — Functions, Duties, and Authority.

Subject: Amending Village Code: Meeting Order of Business
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
None
Background:
As part of the ongoing efforts to ensure consistency and clarity in the Municipal Code, staff
recommends updating the Code to reflect current practices regarding the order of business for
Village Board meetings.
The proposed amendment updates the order of business so that formal presentations occur before
public commentary. This adjustment aligns code with current practice- and is intended to improve
meeting flow and enhance the clarity of information provided to both the Board and the public.
Presentations often contain background, data, or reports related to items that members of the public
may wish to comment on. Moving presentations earlier ensures that residents have the full context
before offering public comment, and that Trustees receive information in a logical sequence that
supports better discussion and decision-making. No other changes are being made to Board
procedure, and the existing flexibility provisions remain in place.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Sections 2.04.035 and 2.04.070 of the Mundelein Municipal
Code to ensure compliance with state law and alignment with current Village practices.

Background:
This ordinance makes two housekeeping updates to Chapter 2.08 of the Village Code. First, it amends
Section 2.08.010(c) outdated reference to a journal, which is no longer required under current
practice or state law. Second, it removes Section 2.08.012(g), which assigns the Village Clerk to serve
as a member of the Firemen’s Pension Fund Board of Trustees, a requirement that no longer applies.
Illinois statute now establishes pension board membership directly, making this local code provision
unnecessary. These amendments do not change any operational responsibilities and are intended
solely to update the code and remove obsolete language.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Sections 2.08.010 and 2.08.012 of the Village Code to
remove outdated subsections.

Background:
This ordinance removes subsection 16.44.050(c) of the Village Code, which required owners, agents,
or designees of rental housing properties to attend a Crime-Free Housing seminar once every three
years. This provision has not been enforced for several years and does not reflect current operational
practice. The Village continues to retain the authority for the Building Commissioner or the Chief of
Police to require seminar attendance when a rental property is determined to be a nuisance under
criteria outlined in code Sections 9.76 and/or Section 16.44.070. Repealing subsection (c) removes
outdated language while maintaining the Village’s ability to require training when warranted.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Amending Section 16.44.050 of the Village Code to repeal subsection
(c), eliminating the recurring three-year Crime-Free Housing seminar requirement to align with
current practices.

VILLAGE OF MUNDELEIN
PARK STREET SEASONAL USE LICENSE
LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR USE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY
This Agreement for Use of Public Property (“Agreement”) entered into between the Village of
Mundelein, a municipal corporation of the County of Lake, State of Illinois (“Village”) and Area Coffee

1. O-26-04-26 - Exhibit A - Vacated Right-of-Way
2. O-26-04-26 - Exhibit B - Portion of East Hawley Street
Background:
During construction of the Mundelein Senior Apartments, a minor encroachment of approximately
0.6 feet into the East Hawley Street right-of-way was identified. The proposed vacation addresses
and resolves this encroachment. It is the desire of the Village and best practice not to have private
structures within the public right-of-way. The previously adopted Ordinance No. O-25-11-77
inadvertently listed the incorrect taxpayer name and is being repealed and replaced by this
Ordinance with the correct taxpayer of record, which is listed on the Plat of Vacation as MSA LP.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance Vacating a certain portion of the East Hawley Street right-of-way within
the Mundelein Station Subdivision.

Subject: Nomination of Census Tract as Qualified Opportunity Zone
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
1. R-26-04-19 - Exhibit A - Map Census
Background:
The federal Qualified Opportunity Zone program provides an incentive for investors to invest in
designated lower-income areas to help create jobs and spur economic development in places that
need it the most. The program does this by providing significant tax benefits over time to investors
that utilize a Qualified Opportunity Fund to reinvest their capital gains into projects within
Opportunity Zones.
In July 2025, the federal government adjusted and made permanent the Opportunity Zone program.
More information on the changes can be found on the IRS website. Please note that these changes
will require the State of Illinois to nominate new Opportunity Zones for designation, which will take
effect starting in January 2027.
The State of Illinois is undertaking a comprehensive approach to reviewing and selecting the next
census tracts for recommendations for federal "Opportunity Zone" designation. An important part of
this decision-making process will be the insights and recommendations provided by those most
familiar with their communities. DCEO is requesting interested parties submit through an online form
as much detail and information as possible by April 30, 2026, to help inform Illinois' next Opportunity
Zones. Given the limited number (25% of all eligible census tracts) that the State of Illinois can
designate, completion of this form does not guarantee future designation.
It is advisable to adopt a resolution showing Village support for consideration of an Opportunity Zone
designation to include with our submittal. The Village's census tract is 8640.02, GEOD 17097864002,
which includes opportunities in the following locations:
Page 78 of 417
• the Archer Business Center site (165 North Archer Avenue);
• the Mundelein Shopping Center (Seymour Avenue and Crystal Street);
• the former Springbank project site (440 East Crystal Street);
• Allanson Road area from Route 45 to the railroad tracks;
• Tower Road business park;
• Terrace Drive business park;
• Campus Drive business park;
• Diamond Lake neighborhoods and lakefront properties;
• Medline campus;
• Butterfield shopping center and properties, including the major corner at Butterfield Road
and Townline Road;
• Garden Fresh Market shopping center properties; and
• Area around Route 45 and the railroad overpass.
Should the Village be successful, there is also an opportunity to combine the Opportunity Zone with
other economic development tools such as Tax Increment Financing and Lake County's Enterprise
Zone designation.
Recommendation:
Motion to adopt a Resolution Supporting Nomination of a Census Tract within the Village of
Mundelein, Illinois as a Qualified Opportunity Zone.

I hereby certify that the attached is an original of
Resolution No. R-26-04-19

RESOLUTION NO. R-26-04-19
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING NOMINATION OF A CENSUS TRACT WITHIN THE VILLAGE OF
MUNDELEIN, ILLINOIS AS A QUALIFIED OPPORTUNITY ZONE
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein is an Illinois municipal corporation (the “Village”) with home rule
authority and the adoption of this resolution is being done through its home rule powers;
WHEREAS, the federal Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) program, originally established under the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and made permanent by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, is designed to
encourage long-term private investment in designated low-income and economically distressed census
tracts by providing significant tax incentives to investors who reinvest capital gains through Qualified
Opportunity Funds; and
WHEREAS, under the updated program, investors may defer capital gains taxes for up to five years,
receive a ten percent (10%) step-up in basis after five years, and achieve a complete exclusion of capital
gains on investments held for ten or more years, directing private capital toward communities in need
of economic revitalization; and
WHEREAS, the Governor of the State of Illinois will have a ninety-day nomination window beginning July
1, 2026, to submit eligible census tracts for designation as Qualified Opportunity Zones, with new
designations taking effect January 1, 2027, and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity (DCEO) has encouraged local governments to engage in the nomination process; and
WHEREAS, a census tract located within the Village of Mundelein meets the eligibility criteria for
Qualified Opportunity Zone designation, including a poverty rate of 12.97% and a median family income
of $75,341; and
WHEREAS, the following are all potential redevelopment and investment opportunities within the
census tract that may benefit from an Opportunity Zone designation:
• the Archer Business Center site (165 North Archer Avenue);
• the Mundelein Shopping Center (Seymour Avenue and Crystal Street);
• the former Springbank project site (440 East Crystal Street);
• Allanson Road area from Route 45 to the railroad tracks;
• Tower Road business park;
• Terrace Drive business park;
• Campus Drive business park;
• Diamond Lake neighborhoods and lakefront properties;
• Medline campus;
• Butterfield shopping center and properties, including the major corner at Butterfield Road and
Townline Road;
• Garden Fresh Market shopping center properties; and
• Area around Route 45 and the railroad overpass.
WHEREAS, the designation of an eligible census tract within Mundelein as a Qualified Opportunity Zone
Page 81 of 417
would attract private investment to support economic revitalization, job creation, and community
development priorities aligned with the Village's long-term economic development goals; and
WHEREAS, there is potential to combine an Opportunity Zone with other tools such as Tax Increment
Financing and Enterprise Zone designations that already exist in several of these opportunity areas
within the census tract; and
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein is known as an active development community where projects have
found successful completion; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF
MUNDELEIN, COUNTY OF LAKE, STATE OF ILLINOIS, as follows:
Section I. That the Village of Mundelein, hereby expresses its formal support for the nomination and
designation of Census Tract 8640.02, GEOD 17097864002, depicted on Exhibit A, attached hereto and
made a part hereof, and located within the Village of Mundelein as a Qualified Opportunity Zone.
Section II. The Village of Mundelein respectfully urges the Governor of the State of Illinois and the
Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to include said census tract among Illinois's
nominated Qualified Opportunity Zones for the designation cycle taking effect January 1, 2027.

4. Findings of Fact
5. Staff Presentation
Background:
The building at 333 Washington Boulevard, constructed in 1969, is located within Allanson Industrial
Park Sub Unit 2. The building is currently vacant but was previously occupied by Lakeside
Transportation, a motor vehicle operations facility. In December 2025, Justin Maki, owner of Ryse
Athletic Club, contacted the Village of Mundelein to determine whether his proposed use would be
permitted at this location (Figure 1). Staff informed Mr. Maki that the proposed athletic club would
be classified as a “Personal Services Establishment,” which includes health clubs, and that this use is
not permitted in the Manufacturing Mixed-Use (M-MU) Zoning District.
Page 84 of 417
Figure 1. Proposed site plan and parking configuration (left) and existing parking lot conditions at 333
Washington Blvd (right).
A personal services establishment is defined as an establishment providing frequent or recurrent
services of a personal nature. Typical examples include beauty shops, barbershops, tanning salons,
massage parlors, shoe repair, laundromats, animal groomers, health clubs, rental and repair facilities,
dry cleaners, and tailors.
Ryse Athletic Club falls under the classification of a personal services establishment because the
facility operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Members would access the building using a
mobile app and pay a monthly fee of $50. Staff will be on-site at all times to ensure safety, maintain
the facility, and assist members as needed. While Ryse Athletic Club does not offer group classes,
individual personal training services will be available. This use does not qualify as an arts studio
because no art form, type of exercise, or activity such as dance, martial arts, gymnastics, or yoga is
taught or studied on-site as the main use. The proposed use is consistent with other health clubs,
including Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, and CFX, all of which are categorized as personal services
establishments.
Neighboring Properties:
North: M-MU, Warehouse/Distribution (SMS Display Group)
South: M-MU, Multi-Tenant Building (i.e.,K-9 Play Time, Health and Fit Nutrition, WW Displays, Inc.)
East: R-4/R-5, Two-Family and Multi-Family Residential
West: M-MU, Multi-Tenant Building (i.e., Game Changing Performance, Holcomb Hollow, Signarama)
The subject property is currently zoned M-MU Manufacturing Mixed-Use, a district intended to
accommodate research and development facilities, general industrial uses, warehousing, storage,
and office uses. Certain non-industrial activities are also permitted, including recreational uses and
more intensive commercial operations, such as kennels and pet day care services. Development
standards are designed to buffer surrounding, less intensive uses from the impacts of industrial and
commercial activities within the district. Mr. Maki has applied for a use variation to allow the
proposed athletic club on the property.
Page 85 of 417
The petitioner proposes Ryse Athletic Club, an athletic facility with expansive workout areas designed
to accommodate a variety of activities, including spaces with mats, turf, and open flooring for
different exercise formats. The facility will also include a basketball court, a posing room, and
separate men’s and women’s locker rooms. Both locker rooms feature showers and a sauna, with the
women’s locker room also providing a makeup room.
Figure 2. Proposed floor plan for Ryse Athletic Club (left) and existing interior conditions at 333
Washington Blvd (right).
Variation Requested
A variation from Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU
Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District.
Planning & Zoning Commission Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on March 18, 2026, to consider the
request. The Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the variation to allow a health club
facility to operate at 333 Washington Boulevard.
Analysis
While staff maintains a neutral position on the zoning variation, we have summarized the potential
benefits and drawbacks of the proposed use at the subject property.
1. Land Use: The M-MU Zoning District is transitional in nature and allows certain quasi-
commercial uses not permitted in the M-1 district, such as Arts Studios, Indoor Amusement
Facilities, Pet Day Care, and Motor Vehicle Dealerships. The proposed use meets minimum
parking requirements, ensuring adequate accommodation for customers arriving by car. Its
proximity to the bike path along Washington Blvd is another potential benefit, providing
convenient access for cyclists and encouraging alternative transportation.
However, the surrounding industrial park presents several compatibility concerns. The area
Page 86 of 417
continues to support a significant concentration of industrial uses and heavy semi-truck
traffic, and it was not designed with safe pedestrian access in mind. The subject property was
previously occupied by Lakeside Transportation, a motor vehicle operations facility, and
converting this building into a fitness facility would remove a viable industrial space from the
market, which may be difficult to replace given the limited availability of comparable facilities
elsewhere. Additionally, the property is adjacent to a residential neighborhood, raising
potential concerns regarding lighting and noise associated with fitness center operations.
Staff also notes that more suitable commercial alternatives may exist. A vacant space within
an existing shopping center, formerly occupied by a fitness facility, is currently available and
would permit this use by right, eliminating the need for a zoning variation. This option would
also align with the applicant's existing Gurnee location, which similarly operates within a
shopping center environment. Furthermore, the proposed use shares many characteristics
with health clubs currently operating in the C-4 Zoning District, reinforcing the position that a
commercial setting may be a more appropriate location.
2. Vacancy within our Industrial Zoning Districts: There has been strong demand for industrial
spaces within Mundelein. In the Village’s industrial districts, only 7.5% of buildings in the M-1
and M-MU zoning districts remain unoccupied, indicating a high demand for industrial
facilities.
3. Text Amendment: Staff has proposed several text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. One
of these amendments specifically addresses the regulation of health club facilities. The
proposed text amendment removes “Health Club” from the definition of Personal Services
Establishment and introduces a new use titled “Health and Fitness Center”. This new use is
intended to encompass similar facilities such as Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, and CFX. The
primary purpose of a Health and Fitness Center is to provide access to facilities and
equipment for self-directed physical exercise and conditioning, rather than instruction or
study of a specific art, discipline, or activity.
Under the proposed amendment, Health and Fitness Centers would be permitted in the
following zoning districts: C-2, C-4, C-5-MU, and C-5-C. Staff recommends limiting this use to
these districts for several reasons. First, all four are commercial districts that align with the
Village's goal of encouraging customers to shop and remain within Mundelein's commercial
corridors. Second, these zoning districts contain larger commercial spaces that can
accommodate the scale and operational needs of a fitness facility. This text amendment is
currently in draft form. If the Planning and Zoning Commission desires, staff can revise or
refine this section prior to finalization.
Nearby Uses
While health clubs are not permitted within the M-MU Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District, the
Village Board should note that several arts studios and training facilities currently operate within M-
MU Zoning Districts throughout Mundelein, including:
1. Game Changing Performance (300 Washington Blvd) – Small group workouts with a trainer

5. Lake County Stallions (901 Orchard Street Ste H and J) – Football, cheerleading, lacrosse, and

7. Teutonic Gym (112 Terrace Drive) – Small group workouts with a trainer
8. Lake Shore Dance Academy (204-206 Terrace Drive) – Ballroom dance studio
Staff recommends drafting an ordinance granting a use variation to Table 20.40-1 of Section
20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District at
333 Washington Boulevard with the following conditions:
1. No outdoor noise-generating activities, including fitness activities, classes, programming, or
organized use of the outdoor turf and area, may begin before 8:00 AM and must conclude by
8:00 PM each day.
2. No amplified sound, speakers, or music shall be permitted in any outdoor area. Music or
sound from inside the building, including through overhead doors, must not be audible to
neighboring residents.
3. No unexposed outdoor storage of materials or equipment is permitted.
4. Mesh privacy screens and/or slats within the chain link fence are prohibited.
5. No special events, private rentals, or gatherings open to non-members shall be permitted
without prior written approval from the Village of Mundelein.
6. All outdoor lighting shall be fully shielded, directed downward, and aimed to prevent light
from spilling onto adjacent residential properties. A photometric plan shall be submitted and
approved prior to issuance of any permits.
7. The outdoor turf area shall be used for passive recreation and individual fitness use only.
Group classes, organized programming, competitions, and events are prohibited outdoors.
Recommendation:
Motion to authorize staff to draft an ordinance granting a use variation to Table 20.40-1 of Section
20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District at
333 Washington Boulevard with the conditions outlined in the staff report.

Staff Presentation
J. Marvin gave a brief history of the subject property and the request of the petitioner.
The property is located withing the Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District. The
petitioner is requesting to run a health club facility in the M-MU zoning district.
T. Wilson asked how this would differ from the Padel Clube proposal. J. Marvin stated
that the use is lightly different as one hosts tournaments and the other is individualized
without group fitness classes.
Petitioner Presentation
Justin Macke of Ryse Athletic Club was sworn in. Mr. Maki stated that the currently
Page 111 of 417
runs a 27,000 square foot facility in Gurnee and has been in operation since 2020. The
currently location is at maximum capacity, so they are looking to open an additional
facility in order to fit the needs of their current membership and allow members to
space out more.
K. Anderson asked if there was a reason why a commercial district would not be able to
meet their needs. Mr. Maki stated that one of the spaces they are looking for is an
outdoor space, which would not be available in a commercial area.
K. Anderson asked if they will be opening this as a second facility and keeping their
original in Gurnee. Mr. Maki confirmed that they plan to operate both locations.
T. Roswick asked what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Maki stated that the
facility is open 24/7.
K. Anderson inquired about the plans if it was a full buildout. Mr. Maki confirmed the
plan to do a full buildout of the space. K. Anderson further asked if they plan to
purchase the property or lease. Mr. Maki stated that he plans to purchase the building.
Public Commentary
T. Roswick opened the floor to public commentary.
There was no public commentary.
T. Roswick closed the floor to public commentary.
Commission Discussion
J. Holden asked if there would be another point in the process to trigger any conditions,
or if any conditions would need to be made entirely tonight. C. Malec stated that this
would be the one time to impose suggested conditions on the use.
The Commission discussed the transition of the year of the manufacturing district in
this area. They also discussed the length of time this property has been on the market
despite not having many industrial properties available. This property has not been able
to be filled for industrial use in a year's time, suggesting that the current facility, as is
may not meet the needs of the current industrial needs.
Use Variation Request
J. Holden moved, seconded by S. Petti, a Motion to recommend approval of a variation
to Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU
Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District at 333 Washington Boulevard, including the
findings of fact as written, with the following conditions:

FINDINGS OF FACT – 333 WASHINGTON BLVD
1. Use Variation – Health Club Facility
CASE NUMBER PZ2026-0001
PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 18, 2026
VARIATION A variation to Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU
Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District.
DRAFT MOTION Motion by J. Holden, second by S. Petti to approve the Findings of Fact as published for a variation
from Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility at 333 Washington Blvd at
333 Washington Blvd, Mundelein, IL.
On March 18, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 - 0for approval of a use variation to Table 20.40-1 of Section
20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District at the property located at 333
Washington Blvd, Mundelein, IL.
No variation from the provisions of this Ordinance shall be granted unless the Zoning Administrator, Planning & Zoning
Commission, and Village Board makes specific written findings based on the standards imposed by this section. These standards
are as follows:
1. The strict application of the terms of this Ordinance will result in undue hardship;
DRAFT APPROVAL The strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would create an undue hardship for the petitioner
because existing fitness-based art studios and sports training facilities already operate within the
Manufacturing Mixed-Use (M-MU) Zoning District, including in this particular business park.
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances;
DRAFT APPROVAL The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances because the space has sufficient size and
parking to accommodate a health club facility with minimal risk to negative impacts on the
surrounding industrial park. Furthermore, in this particular business park, there are already a few
existing “Art Studios” (where a fitness is taught via classes or group instruction) and sports training
facilities.
Additionally, the Petitioner is proposing an outdoor training area with artificial turf, which is difficult
to accommodate within a typical commercial shopping center. The Petitioner is purchasing and
investing in the building, which would be challenging with most commercial properties, as they are
typically only available for lease. The building and parking lot are sufficiently large to accommodate
a health club facility. The subject property is located on the northern side of the Manufacturing
Mixed-Use (M-MU) zoning district, near residential areas, allowing for additional amenities for those
residents.
3. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality;
DRAFT APPROVAL The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, as a non-industrial business is
consistent with similar uses found within the Manufacturing Mixed-Use (M-MU) Zoning District.
Furthermore, the site has a large parking lot that is likely to mitigate any risk of parking overflow
onto streets or surrounding properties.
The Zoning Administrator, Planning & Zoning Commission, and Village Board, in making its findings, may inquire into the
following evidentiary issues, as well as any others deemed appropriate.
1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a
particular hardship or difficulty to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter
of the regulations were to be carried out.
DRAFT APPROVAL The Commission finds that the particular surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the
specific property involved are not relevant to the request.
2. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having a proprietary interest in the property
in question.
Page 115 of 417
DRAFT APPROVAL The Commission finds that the petitioner has not created this hardship because of the uniqueness
of this particular industrial park, allowing for more quasi-commercial uses like arts studios and
training facilities, which has changed the dynamic of this industrial park.
3. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare in the neighborhood in which the property is
located.
DRAFT APPROVAL The Commission finds that the granting of the requested variation will not be detrimental to the
public welfare in which the property is located.
4. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or impair property values within
the neighborhood.
DRAFT APPROVAL The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property,
substantially increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the
public safety, or impair property values within the neighborhood.
5. The proposed variation is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Ordinance and Village land use policies.
DRAFT APPROVAL The Commission finds that the proposed variation is consistent with the spirit and intent of this
Ordinance and Village land use policy. Existing fitness-based art studios and training facilities currently
operate elsewhere in the Manufacturing Mixed-Use (M-MU) Zoning District. The Zoning Ordinance’s
limitation may be out of date with current market demands.
6. The value of the property in question will be substantially reduced if permitted to be used only under the conditions
allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located.
DRAFT APPROVAL It is unclear whether the value of the property in question will or will not be substantially reduced as
there are number of other permitted uses in the Manufacturing Mixed-Use (M-MU) Zoning District.

• Previously occupied by Lakeside Transportation.
• Mr. Maki contact the Village in December 2025 to
see a health club facility was permitted at the
Existing

Page 119 of 417
Ryse Athletic Club
Background
What Our Zoning Code Categorizes as a Health Club:
Personal Services Establishment:
• An establishment providing frequent or recurrent
services of a personal nature. Typical examples include
beauty shops, barbershops, tanning salons, massage
parlors, shoe repair, laundromats, animal groomers,
health clubs, rental and repair facilities, dry cleaners,
and tailors.
What is permitted in the M-MU Zoning District:
• This proposed use does not qualify as an “arts studio”
because no art form, type of exercise, or activity such as
dance, martial arts, gymnastics, or yoga is taught or studied
on-site as the main use.
• The proposed use is consistent with other health clubs
such as Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, and CFX.
4
Game Changing Performance Page 120 of 417
Background
• The Petitioner proposes Ryse Athletic Club, an
athletic facility with expansive workout areas
designed to accommodate a variety of activities,
including spaces with mats, turf, and open flooring
for different exercise formats.
• The facility will also include:
• Basketball Court
• Posing Room
• Separate Men’s and Women’s Locker Rooms
with Showers and a Sauna
• Fenced Outdoor Workout Area with Artificial
Turf

Proposed Site Plan and Parking Configuration
Page 121 of 417
Background
• Ryse Athletic Club facility will operate 24/7.
• Members access the building using a mobile
app and pay a month fee of $50.
• Staff will always be onsite to ensure safety,
maintain the facility, and assist members as
needed.
• Ryse Athletic Club does not offer group
classes, but individual personal training
services will be available.
6 Proposed Floor Plan for Ryse Athletic Club
Page 122 of 417
Background
• M-MU Zoning District is intended to accommodate:
• Research and Development Facilities
• General Industrial Uses
• Warehousing
• Storage
• Office Uses
• Certain Non-Industrial Activities (Art Studios, Motor
Vehicle Dealerships, Indoor Amusement Facilities,
and Pet “Day Care” Services)

Page 123 of 417
Zoning Request
A variation from Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in
the M-MU Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan contains an objective to ensure that designed industrial
areas are prioritized for appropriate industrial and businesses uses and prevent the
encroachment of incompatible development and uses that may weaken the
industrial/business functionality of these areas.
8
Page 124 of 417
Analysis: Land Use
• M-MU allows for certain quasi-commercial uses not
permitted in the M-1 district such as Art Studios, Motor
Vehicle Dealerships, Indoor Amusement Facilities, and
Pet “Day Care” Services.
• Proposed use meets the minimum parking
requirements accommodating for customer arriving by
car.
• Proximity to the bike path along Washington Blvd
providing coinvent access for cyclist and encouraging
alternative transportation.
9
Page 125 of 417
Analysis: Land Use
• However, the surrounding industrial park presents a few compatibility concerns.
• Support a significant concentration of industrial uses and heavy semi-truck traffic, and it was not
designed with safe pedestrian access in mind.
• Proximity to the adjacent residential neighborhood could raise potential concerns regarding
lighting and noise associated with the fitness center operations.
10
Page 126 of 417
Analysis: Land Use
• Our code only permits health clubs in commercial
districts because they generally best equipped to
support the pedestrian access, parking, lighting and
spatial requirements health club facilities need.
• A location within a shopping center would align with
the Petitioner’s existing facility in Gurnee, IL, which
also operates in a shopping center environment.
• The proposed use shares many characteristics
with health clubs currently operating in the C-4
Zoning District, reinforcing the position that a
commercial setting may be a more appropriate
location.
11
Page 127 of 417
Analysis: Vacancy within our Industrial Zoning Districts
• There has been strong demand for industrial spaces within Mundelein. In the Village’s industrial
districts, only 7.5% of buildings in the M-1 and M-MU zoning districts remain unoccupied,
indicating a high demand for industrial facilities.
• Previously occupied by Lakeside Transportation and converting this building into a fitness facility
would remove a viable industrial space from the market, which may be difficult to replace given
the limited availability of comparable facilities elsewhere.

Page 128 of 417
Analysis: Text Amendment
• Staff proposed several text amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. One amendment addresses
regulation of health club facilities.
• “Health Club” removed from the definition of Personal Services Establishment.
• Introduces new use: “Health and Fitness Center” (includes Planet Fitness, LA Fitness, CFX).
• Main purpose is to provided access to facilities and equipment for self-directed physical
exercise, not instruction or study of a specific discipline.
• Permitted in zoning districts: C-2, C-4, C-5-MU, and C-5-C.
• Aligns with Village goal to encourage shopping in commercial corridors.
• Have larger commercial spaces suitable for fitness facility scale/operations.
• Text amendment is draft form; staff can revise/refine before finalization if requested.

Standards for Granting a Variation
1. No variation from the provisions of this Ordinance shall be granted unless the Zoning Administrator, Planning
and Zoning Commission and Village Board makes specific written findings based on the standards imposed by this
section. These standards are as follows:
1. The strict application of the terms of this Ordinance will result in undue hardship.
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances.
3. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.
2. The Zoning Administrator, Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board, in making its findings, may inquire into
the following evidentiary issues, as well as any others deemed appropriate:
1. The particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property impose a particular hardship upon the owner, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out.
2. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having a proprietary interest in the property in question.
3. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare in the neighborhood in which the property is located.
4. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase congestion in the public
streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety or impair property values within the neighborhood.
5. The proposed variation is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Ordinance and Village land use policies.
6. The value of the property in question will be substantially reduced if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by the regulations
governing the district in which it is located.

Background:
143 North Seymour Avenue is a commercial unit in the Mundelein Shopping Center, which was most
recently occupied by Hidden Door Tattoo Studio. Neighboring units are occupied by Just for Fun
Roller Rink, Rogan’s Shoes, North Shore Classics, Morrison’s Laundry and Cleaners, Faded Best
Barber, and the American Legion Post 867. The building is under multiple ownership, with six
individual property owners across the shopping center. The owner of 143 North Seymour Avenue, A
& O Syros LLC, owns all units east of Rogan’s Shoes.
The economic vitality of the shopping center has declined in the last few decades due to poor
Page 133 of 417
visibility, a changing demand for brick-and-mortar retail, and challenges posed by separate
ownership. The underperformance of a shopping center can indicate that the “highest and best use”
of a property is no longer commercial due to either site-specific conditions or changes to the
economy and consumer behavior. Because the site is close to Downtown amenities such as the
Metra Station and parks, but lacks visibility and accessibility, Village planning documents envision
that the property will ultimately transition to residential uses. There is currently an RFP posted on
the Village website requesting development proposals for this site along with a few other
surrounding sites. Link to RFP Brochure
In 2012, the Village undertook a complete overhaul of the Zoning Ordinance, which included a new
structuring of zoning districts (including the creation of the Downtown zoning district). Under the
prior Zoning Ordinance, this property was zoned as C-2 Commercial. In 2012, the Village assigned this
property the C-5-R (Downtown Residential) classification because, at the time, there was a renewed
interest in redevelopment of the property. At the time, the new zoning designation anticipated the
future residential use of the property. However, while there is still interest in redevelopment, a
project is yet to be seen as of 2026.
Mr. & Mrs. Kerbs owned the property from the late 1990s until 2012, when the property foreclosed,
and Mrs. Olga Goumas Liakos was granted the Mortgage in Possession. Mrs. Goumas Liakos has
managed the property up until recent years, when her son, George Goumas, took over under A & O
Syros LLC within the last few years. It has been Mr. Goumas’s desire since managing the property to
retain ownership and find additional tenants.
Because the C-5-R (Downtown Residential) zoning district does not permit commercial uses, all
existing businesses were grandfathered in upon the 2012 rezoning. However, a space loses its
grandfathered status when a unit is vacant for an extended period or if the use of the unit changes.
Any new businesses must obtain use variations to operate in this zoning district. This particular unit
(143 North Seymour Avenue) is currently vacant, but was previously occupied by a tattoo studio. The
property owner would like to rent the unit out to a new tenant, Rocky Blue Grooming (pet
grooming).
A number of other tenants of the shopping center have received use variations since 2012:
• 2014 – Epic Healthy Living – Community Center (No longer in operation)
• 2014 – Carpets in the Park – Retail carpet sales (No longer located there)
• 2015 – North Shore Classics – Indoor classic car dealership
• 2022 – Faded Best – Barbershop
• 2023 – TLC Massage and Spa – Nail Salon (Fell through)
• 2024 – Hidden Door Tattoo (No longer located there)
Variation Requested
The Petitioner is requesting a use variation to operate a Personal Services Establishment (Dog
Grooming) in the C-5-R Downtown Residential Zoning District. Permitted uses in the C-5-R district are
limited to residential uses and therefore a variation is required for any commercial business to
Page 134 of 417
occupy the space.
Staff Comments
Staff received two comments from the Building Department, and the applicant responded as
follows:
1. Per the Fire Code, a change in use like this requires a Fire Alarm and we do not believe one is
installed in that building (Staff recommended that the property owner weigh in).
a. Applicant answer: I will speak to George and will ensure there is a property fire alarm
installed.
2. Where will the dogs use the bathroom when in care by the business? Please provide an
explanation on how pet waste will be handled, as it does not appear that there is any grass on
the same property owned by the building owner.
a. Applicant Answer: All clients are required to walk their dogs prior to scheduled
appointments, and dogs must be picked up promptly once grooming services are
completed. We do not walk dogs while they are in our care.
As we work with live animals, occasional accidents may occur; however, all waste is
immediately and properly disposed of in the toilet to maintain a clean, sanitary, and
odor-free facility at all times.
Additionally, if permitted, we are prepared to install a dog waste station outside the
facility to further ensure cleanliness and demonstrate consideration for our neighbors
and surrounding businesses.
Public Comments
No public commentary was received at the time of this report.
Analysis
Staff recommends approval of the requested use variation due to the unique hardship that the
Zoning Ordinance imposes upon the owners and tenants of this shopping center, which was a result
of a rezoning that the Village undertook in 2012. The rezoning was consented to by the shopping
center owners, but not caused by the actions of any owners nor tenants. While the future use of this
land is envisioned as residential, there is not currently a developer actively engaged in acquiring
these parcels for a project.
In the meantime, it benefits both the community and property owners to permit the shopping center
to continue to operate rather than forcing the center to remain vacant until a redevelopment is
proposed. Four other businesses in the shopping center that have opened since 2012 obtained
variations from the Village Board. The proposed use as a dog groomer is in line with the retail and
service-oriented nature of other businesses in the vicinity.

Planning and Zoning Commission
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request on March 18,
2026, and voted in favor of recommending approval of the variation.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance approving use variation to permit a pet groomer in the C-5-R zoning
district at 143 North Seymour Avenue, Mundelein, Illinois.

FINDINGS OF FACT – 143 N. SEYMOUR AVENUE (ROCKY BLUE GROOMING)
CASE NUMBER PZ2026-0002
PUBLIC HEARING DATE March 18, 2026
VARIATION Variation from Table 20.36-1 of Section 20.36.020 to permit a Personal Services Establishment (Pet
Grooming Service) in the C-5-R Downtown Residential zoning district.
On March 18, 2026 the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend for approval of a variation to Table 20.36-1
of Section 20.36.020 to permit a Personal Services Establishment (Pet Grooming Service) in the C-5-R Downtown Residential
zoning district at 143 N. Seymour Avenue.
No variation from the provisions of this Ordinance shall be granted unless the Zoning Administrator, Planning & Zoning
Commission, and Village Board makes specific written findings based on the standards imposed by this section. These standards
are as follows:
1. The strict application of the terms of this Ordinance will result in undue hardship;
The strict application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in undue hardship for the Petitioner, as the property in
question is constructed as a commercial space and is part of a shopping center with other active commercial users. The strict
application of the Ordinance would require the unit to remain vacant, as the space is unsuited for a residential use despite the
current zoning district designation.
2. The plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances;
The property is subject to unique circumstances, as the rezoning in 2012 to Downtown Residential was done in anticipation of
a redevelopment that has not yet occurred due to factors outside of the control of the Petitioner and property owner. Despite
the current zoning designation, the shopping center still remains with active commercial tenants.
3. The variation, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality;
The variation will not alter the essential character of the locality, as a pet grooming business is consistent with the retail and
service-oriented nature of other businesses found in the shopping center and in the larger Downtown Mundelein area. This
particular unit has been occupied by commercial users in the past, including a carpet showroom and tattoo shop.
The Zoning Administrator, Planning & Zoning Commission, and Village Board, in making its findings, may inquire into the
following evidentiary issues, as well as any others deemed appropriate.
1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a
particular hardship or difficulty to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter
of the regulations were to be carried out.
The commercial nature of the shopping center and surrounding area impose a hardship on the property owner, as distinguished
from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations are to be carried out. The strict application of the Zoning
Ordinance would ultimately cause this particular unit to remain vacant indefinitely, despite other active commercial units
operating out of the same building.
2. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having a proprietary interest in the property
in question.
The alleged difficulty has not been created by the Petitioner or property owner, as the rezoning to Downtown Residential in
2012 was a Village-initiated undertaking and was anticipating redevelopment that did not ultimately occur.
3. The granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare in the neighborhood in which the property is
located.
The variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare, as it will increase occupancy and foot traffic to an existing
commercial shopping center.
4. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or impair property values within
the neighborhood.
The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increase
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or impairs property values within the
neighborhood.
5. The proposed variation is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Ordinance and Village land use policies.
The proposed variation is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Ordinance and Village land use policies, with the exception
that the ordinance and Comprehensive Plan envision that this property will ultimately transition to a residential use. However,
that redevelopment has yet to occur.
Page 141 of 417
6. The value of the property in question will be substantially reduced if permitted to be used only under the conditions
allowed by the regulations governing the district in which it is located.
The value of the properties in question will be substantially reduced if permitted to be used only under the existing zoning
classification, as the unit is not suitable for residential use.

Staff Presentation
C. Malec gave a brief history of the property. The subject property is zoned downtown
residential. C. Malec presented a history of the rezoning of the property as part of the
overall of the zoning map in 2012 and how it applies to the subject property. Any new
businesses coming into the space would need to apply for a use variation due to the
residential zoning of the shopping mall. There have been a handful of these requests
granted.

and background of the business. Ms. Plantenchi gave the Commission a copy of their

T. Roswick closed the floor to public commentary.
Commission Discussion
J. Holden asked about the comments made by the building department regarding the

time, so there will not be a need for much waste management, and will not be walking
dogs are part of their service. Any accidents will be property disposed of in the toilet on
site. If permitted, they would be willing to install a dog waste station outside of the
facility.
K. Anderson clarified that this will be an appointment only business and there is not a
plan to have multiple dogs at a time on-site to reduce the noise.
The Commission was in support of the application.

Staff Presentation
J. Marvin gave a brief history of the subject property and the request of the petitioner.
The property is located withing the Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District. The
petitioner is requesting to run a health club facility in the M-MU zoning district.
T. Wilson asked how this would differ from the Padel Clube proposal. J. Marvin stated
that the use is lightly different as one hosts tournaments and the other is individualized
without group fitness classes.
Petitioner Presentation
Justin Macke of Ryse Athletic Club was sworn in. Mr. Maki stated that the currently
Page 148 of 417
runs a 27,000 square foot facility in Gurnee and has been in operation since 2020. The
currently location is at maximum capacity, so they are looking to open an additional
facility in order to fit the needs of their current membership and allow members to
space out more.
K. Anderson asked if there was a reason why a commercial district would not be able to
meet their needs. Mr. Maki stated that one of the spaces they are looking for is an
outdoor space, which would not be available in a commercial area.
K. Anderson asked if they will be opening this as a second facility and keeping their
original in Gurnee. Mr. Maki confirmed that they plan to operate both locations.
T. Roswick asked what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Maki stated that the
facility is open 24/7.
K. Anderson inquired about the plans if it was a full buildout. Mr. Maki confirmed the
plan to do a full buildout of the space. K. Anderson further asked if they plan to
purchase the property or lease. Mr. Maki stated that he plans to purchase the building.
Public Commentary
T. Roswick opened the floor to public commentary.
There was no public commentary.
T. Roswick closed the floor to public commentary.
Commission Discussion
J. Holden asked if there would be another point in the process to trigger any conditions,
or if any conditions would need to be made entirely tonight. C. Malec stated that this
would be the one time to impose suggested conditions on the use.
The Commission discussed the transition of the year of the manufacturing district in
this area. They also discussed the length of time this property has been on the market
despite not having many industrial properties available. This property has not been able
to be filled for industrial use in a year's time, suggesting that the current facility, as is
may not meet the needs of the current industrial needs.
Use Variation Request
J. Holden moved, seconded by S. Petti, a Motion to recommend approval of a variation
to Table 20.40-1 of Section 20.40.020 to permit a health club facility in the M-MU
Manufacturing Mixed-Use Zoning District at 333 Washington Boulevard, including the
findings of fact as written, with the following conditions:

Director, Community Development
Village of Mundelein

Mundelein, IL 60060
Dear Ms. Orenchuk:
Pursuant to our recent discussions, SB Friedman Development Advisors, LLC (SB Friedman) is pleased to present this
proposal to assist the Village of Mundelein (Village) in its tax increment financing (TIF) administration by reviewing the
terms of three redevelopment agreements (RDAs) for recent projects in TIF II, updating TIF projections for those projects
and estimating future payments under the terms of the RDAs.
Scope of Services
Based on our prior discussions, we propose to create a model for each project that combines historic and projected
incremental property tax collections with an organized projected payment schedule associated with obligations from
the redevelopment agreement and any other applicable agreements identified by the Village. As part of this work we
will perform the following services:
• Conduct an introductory call with the Village to discuss project timeline, sources of information, and key
analytical tasks
• Collect and review information on historic annual project PIN increment and RDA payments
• Analyze historic school district operational cost per pupil trends
• Review the approved RDAs associated with the Cardinal Square, Fairhaven Crossing, and Morris Station (East)
projects.
• Prepare updated high-level, incremental property tax projections for each of the three projects for the
remaining life of the TIF district, incorporating recent assessments and applying consistent assumptions for
variables like tax rate and property value growth
• Estimate annual RDA payments to be made to the developer and various taxing districts per the terms of the
redevelopment agreement and any other applicable agreements or factors identified by the Village
• Prepare a simple dynamic model that outlines key assumptions, allows users to input certain values, and tracks
historic and projected RDA payments
• Conduct a call with the Village to discuss findings and any next steps
Timeframe
Based on the scope of work outlined herein and our experience with similar projects, we estimate that it will take
approximately 6-8 weeks from the date we are authorized to proceed to complete the above scope of services and the

related services for two other TIF districts. We can often provide preliminary findings to staff prior to full completion of
the assignment if needed. We will work closely with the Village to meet any internal deadlines.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for this service will be based on the time required at the then-current hourly billing rates of the staff
involved. The estimated professional fees and expenses for the Scope of Services described above are approximately
$12,895, as shown in the Detailed Budget Estimate below. This budget assumes the Village simultaneously approves
the engagement letters to provide such services for two additional TIF districts. Certain tasks would require more time
if completed for only one TIF district.

Limitations of Our Engagement
Our deliverables will be based on estimates, assumptions and other information developed from research of the market,
knowledge of the industry, and meetings/teleconferences during which we will obtain certain information from the
Village. The sources of information and bases of the estimates and assumptions will be stated in the deliverable. Some
assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur; therefore, actual
results achieved during the period covered by our analysis will necessarily vary from those described in our deliverable,
and the variations may be material.
The terms of this engagement are such that we have no obligation to revise analyses or the deliverables to reflect
events or conditions which occur subsequent to the date of the deliverable. These events or conditions include, without

Our deliverables will be intended solely for your information and should not be relied upon by any other person, firm

(or refrain from issuing) specific municipal securities. A live model will be provided to the Village of Mundelein for its
exclusive use in considering potential future payments to developers per the terms of various redevelopment
agreements. The independent use and adjustment of this model by the Village is outside the scope of our engagement
with respect to the project. SB Friedman is not responsible for, and the Village agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
SB Friedman for any damages or claims by the Village or any third-party with respect to its independent use of the
model.
Although SB Friedman is registered with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) as a Municipal Advisor, we
will not be recommending an action regarding issuance of municipal securities to you as the municipal entity or to any
obligated person under MSRB rules. The information and material provided in our deliverables is not intended to be

material set forth in the deliverables. Unless otherwise agreed, we are not acting as a municipal advisor to you or any
obligated person and do not owe a fiduciary duty pursuant to Section 15B of the Exchange Act to you or any obligated
person with respect to the information and material contained in the deliverables.

Subject: Request for Proposal – America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) Risk and Resilience
Assessment and Emergency Response Plan Proposal for Professional Engineering Services
Dear Mr. Broz:
On October 23, 2018, America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) was signed into law. This law requires
all community water systems (CWS) serving more than 3,300 people perform a Risk and Resilience
Assessment (RRA) on their system. These risk and resilience assessments involve assessing the risks in
every part of the water system from supply to distribution, including physical, cyber, and financial systems.
Water utilities such as the Village of Mundelein, with a population greater than 31,000, are required to
submit a certification of completion of the AWIA Risk and Resilience Assessment by June 30, 2026. The
Emergency Response Plan (ERP) certification of completion is due six months after the Risk and Resilience
Assessment submittal with a final deadline by December 31, 2026.
We would like to help the Village complete its Risk and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response
Plan, which will provide you with a strategic planning document and list of recommendations that address
vulnerabilities identified. We offer this scope, schedule, and fee for your consideration.

Standard Terms
and Conditions
PLEASE READ THESE STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY BEFORE EXECUTING THE LETTER PROPOSAL PRESENTED BY BAXTER & WOODMAN,
INC. (“Baxter & Woodman”). BY EXECUTING THE LETTER PROPOSAL, OWNER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE LETTER PROPOSAL, AND
THE PROVISIONS OF ANY DOCUMENT REFERRING TO THESE TERMS OR THE LETTER PROPOSAL, ALL OF WHICH SHALL COLLECTIVELY CONSTITUTE THE “AGREEMENT”.
Owner’s Responsibility – Provide Baxter & Woodman with all criteria and full information for the “Project,” which is generally otherwise identified in the Letter Proposal.
Baxter & Woodman will rely, without liability, on the accuracy and completeness of all information provided by the Owner (as defined in the Letter Proposal) including
its consultants, contractors, specialty contractors, subcontractors, manufacturers, suppliers and publishers of technical standards (“Owner Affiliates”) without
independently verifying that information. The Owner represents and warrants that all known hazardous materials on or beneath the site have been identified to Baxter
& Woodman. Baxter & Woodman and their consultants shall have no responsibility for the discovery, presence, handling, removal or disposal of, or exposure of persons
to, unidentified or undisclosed hazardous materials unless this service is set forth in the Letter Proposal.
Schedule for Rendering Services – The agreed upon services shall be completed within a reasonable amount of time. If Baxter & Woodman is hindered, delayed or
prevented from performing the services as a result of any act or neglect of the Owner, any Owner Affiliate, or force majeure event, Baxter & Woodman’s work shall be
extended and the rates and amounts of Baxter & Woodman’s compensation shall be equitably adjusted in a written instrument executed by all Parties.
Invoices and Payments – The fees to perform the proposed scope of services constitutes Baxter & Woodman’s estimate to perform the agreed upon scope of services.
Circumstances may dictate a change in scope, and if this occurs, an equitable adjustment in compensation and time shall be agreed upon by all Parties by written
agreement. No service for which added compensation will be charged will be provided without first obtaining written authorization from the Owner. Baxter & Woodman
invoices shall be due and owing by Owner in accordance with the terms and provisions of the State of Illinois Local Government Prompt Payment Act (50 ILCS 505/1 et
seq.).
Opinion of Probable Construction Costs – Baxter & Woodman’s opinion of probable construction costs represents its reasonable judgment as a professional engineer.
Owner acknowledges that Baxter & Woodman has no control over construction costs or contractor’s methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding, or
market conditions. Baxter & Woodman cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or actual construction costs will not vary from Baxter & Woodman’s opinion
of probable construction costs.
Standards of Performance – (1) The standard of care for all services performed or furnished by Baxter & Woodman will be the same care and skill ordinarily used by
professionals practicing under similar circumstances, at the same time and in the same locality on similar projects. Baxter & Woodman makes no warranties, express
or implied, in connection with its services; (2) Baxter & Woodman shall be responsible for the technical accuracy of its services and documents; (3) Baxter & Woodman
shall use reasonable care to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and Owner-mandated standards; (4) Baxter & Woodman may employ such sub-consultants as
Baxter & Woodman deems necessary to assist in the performance or furnishing of the services, subject to reasonable, timely, and substantive objection by Owner; (5)
Baxter & Woodman shall not supervise, direct, control, or have authority over any contractors’ work, nor have authority over or be responsible for the means, methods,
techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any contractor, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety
at the site, nor for any failure of any contractor to comply with laws and regulations applicable to such contractor’s furnishing and performing of its work; (6) Baxter &
Woodman neither guarantees the performance of any contractor nor assumes responsibility for any contractor’s failure to furnish and perform the work in accordance
with the contract documents; (7) Baxter & Woodman is not acting as a municipal advisor as defined by the Dodd-Frank Act. Baxter & Woodman shall not provide advice
or have any responsibility for municipal financial products or securities; (8) Baxter & Woodman is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor,
subcontractor, or supplier, or any of their agents or employees or any other person at the site or otherwise furnishing or performing any work; (9) Shop drawing and
submittal review by Baxter & Woodman shall apply only to the items in the submissions and only for the purpose of assessing if, upon installation or incorporation in
the Project work, they are generally consistent with the contract documents. Owner agrees that the contractor is solely responsible for the submissions (regardless of
the format in which provided, i.e., hard copy or electronic transmission) and for compliance with the construction documents. Owner further agrees that Baxter &
Woodman’s review and action in relation to these submissions shall not constitute the provision of means, methods, techniques, sequencing or procedures of
construction or extend to safety programs or precautions. Baxter & Woodman’s consideration of a component does not constitute acceptance of the assembled item;
(10) Baxter & Woodman’s site observation during construction shall be at the times agreed upon in the Project scope. Through standard, reasonable means, Baxter &
Woodman will become generally familiar with observable completed work. If Baxter & Woodman observes completed work that is inconsistent with the construction
documents, information shall be communicated to the contractor and Owner for them to address.

were otherwise foreseeable, and notwithstanding the failure of any agreed or other remedy of its essential purpose; (4) In the event Losses or expenses are caused by
the joint or concurrent fault of the Baxter & Woodman and Owner, they shall be borne by each party in proportion to its respective fault, as determined by a mediator
or court of competent jurisdiction; (5) The Owner acknowledges that Baxter & Woodman is a business corporation and not a professional service corporation, and

employees. The Owner and Baxter & Woodman agree that any claim made by either party arising out of any act of the other party, or any officer, director, or employee
of the other party in the execution or performance of the Agreement, shall be made solely against the other party and not individually or jointly against such officer,
director, or employees.
Termination – Either party may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) business days’ written notice to the other party in the event of failure by the other party to
comply with the terms of the Agreement through no fault of the terminating party. A condition precedent to termination shall be conformance with the Dispute

to any third party, including any lender, contractor, subcontractor, supplier, manufacturer, other individual, entity or public body, or to any surety for or employee of
any of them. All duties and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this Agreement are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Owner and Baxter & Woodman and not
for the benefit (intended, unintended, direct or indirect) of any other entity or person.
Dispute Resolution – All disputes between the Parties shall first be negotiated between executives who have authority to settle the dispute for a period of thirty (30)
days. If unresolved, disputes shall be then submitted to mediation as a condition precedent to litigation. The mediation session shall be held within forty-five (45) days

Background:
The qualified low bid contractor is Peter Baker & Son, Co. with the total project amount of
$4,532,967.70. The listed amount represents the total contract value, which includes the services
being provided to all entities within the joint purchase program including Libertyville, Vernon Hills,
and Libertyville Township. However, in accordance with the terms of the IGA, the Village is only
responsible for the share of the contract that is directly attributable to its roadways
($1,126,266.90). There are sufficient funds available to pay for the Village's share in the FY27
Budget. The proposed work is anticipated to be completed this summer.
Staff recommends accepting all submitted bids, awarding our portion of the contract to Peter Baker
& Son, Co. as the lowest responsive bidder for the 2026 (FY27) MFT Roadway Improvements project,
and authorize the Mayor and the Village Clerk to sign a contract with Peter Baker & Son, Co. in the
amount of $1,126,266.90 subject to the receipt of required bonding and insurance.
Additional roads may be added to this project after cost is determined. Expect a future change order
for the additional roads which include N Southport Road from Regent Drive to Compton Lane,
Compton Lane from Dunton Court to Bingham Circle, Dunton Court, Pinehurst Drive and Foxmoor
Court.

Partnership Project
Bid Tabulation and Contract Award
On March 10, 2026, bid proposals for the above referenced project were received, opened and read aloud at the
Mundelein Public Works and Engineering Facility. Overall combined bids were received from four (4) contractors,
as-read they ranged from $4,532,967.70 to $5,194,474.20. The engineer’s opinion of probable cost was
$5,432,967.70. Attached is a summary of bids for your review.
The bids were reviewed and observed to have no mathematical errors.
Based on the availability of funding, the Village of Mundelein may accept the bids and award their portion of the
project contract to the apparent low bidder, Peter Baker & Son, Co., in the amount of $1,126,266.90.
As with any other construction project, it is recommended that the Village Board add in a 5-10% contingency factor
for additions or changes due to unforeseen conditions (generally below grade) to the proposed construction
improvements.
We anticipate the overall starting date for this road maintenance project will begin after May 1, 2026, once the
Contractor receives the Authorization to Proceed.
If you should have any questions, please contact our office.

Re: Construction Engineering Services Agreement
2026 MFT Partnership Paving Improvement Program
GHA Proposal No. 2026.CS002
On behalf of Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA), thank you for the opportunity to assist the Village of
Mundelein with implementation of another phase of your roadway improvement program. Based on
conversations we have had regarding this project, we submit the following for your review and approval.
The Village of Mundelein, (hereinafter “Village”), and Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (hereinafter “GHA”)
agree and contract as follows:
I. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Village of Mundelein plans to upgrade its roadway infrastructure by improving portions of the system
located along various routes within the Village.
The current effort will focus on the milling and repaving of approximately 11,690 FT of roadway at various
locations within the Village (see attached List of Streets). Planned work generally includes: Hot Mix Asphalt
(HMA) pavement removal and replacement, base course patching, driveway removal and replacement,
structure adjustments, curb and gutter removal and replacement, sidewalk repairs, and general site
restoration.
This work is being completed simultaneously along with several other communities, which will likely cause
gaps in the work flow and an extended time frame for completion over what is normally observed. We have
estimated that the Village’s portion of the work will take approximately 40 Working Days to complete(spread
out over the entire construction schedule) and we are basing our proposal on that figure.
Our project approach is based on discussions with your office and our experience with similar projects. Our
construction staff includes seasoned professionals with extensive municipal construction experience who
can help minimize disruption to residents. Their proven expertise will result in a good working relationship
not only with the contractor, but with the local residents as well.
As such, GHA proposes to provide construction engineering services to include the following:
II. SCOPE OF SERVICES
1. Attendance at one (1) pre-construction meeting is included. The Village will be provided a
summary in the form of Minutes for their records.
2. An allowance for construction layout, on a one-time basis, has been provided. Paint layout
marking will be utilized to identify removal items.

Village of Mundelein
2026 MFT Paving Improvement Program - Construction Services
3. Construction Engineering and Observation Services
a. Construction engineering and observation services will be full-time for an estimated 40-
working-day schedule. This schedule includes GHA punch list generation and work
completion by the contractor. A single inspector-equivalent will be provided for an average
40-hour work week, Monday through Friday, over the duration of the project. If additional
time or inspectors are necessary in order to expedite the construction schedule, or if
multiple crew coverage is desired by the Village, these services will be provided on an as-
needed basis, upon approval from the Village. This will require an adjustment to our
proposed fees based on any duration that exceeds the anticipated single equivalent
amount. The proposed fee reflects all anticipated construction observation services, plus
project management time and administrative services within the 40-working-day schedule.
b. GHA will prepare a project punch list at the completion of major construction activities and
will follow up with the contractor regarding its timely completion.
c. GHA will maintain the project quantity book over the duration of construction.
d. GHA will maintain the weekly summary report over the duration of the project.
e. GHA will communicate daily progress to Village staff by email, in-person or telephone.
f. GHA will assist the Village staff with resident issues/complaints, as needed.
4. Progress Meetings and Project Management
a. Client will be provided copies of the Inspector’s Weekly Report on a weekly basis.
b. GHA will coordinate with the contractor regarding the processing and approval of pay
requests, force accounts, and change orders.
5. Material Testing Services - GHA has provided an allowance for Phase III material testing and
will retain a qualified firm directly to complete these services. The Village will be billed for
actual testing required and completed.
6. Project Closeout Documentation
a. GHA will prepare project closeout documentation for the Village’s files. IDOT closeout
documentation is being completed under a separate contract proposal.
b. GHA will provide the Village a copy of the daily diary pages and quantity book at project
closeout for their files, along with collected project load tickets.

2026 MFT Paving Improvement Program - Construction Services
III. Compensation
GHA proposes to provide the above services on a time-and-materials (T&M) basis for a not-to-exceed
(NTE) fee of $68,490.00. Subconsultant services are included in this fee and will be processed with a 10%
invoice markup. Reimbursable expenses, including items such as printing, messenger service, mileage,
etc., are included in this fee and will be billed to the Client without markup.
All services, including any additional services requested and authorized by the Village, will be billed in
accordance with the hourly rates currently on file with the Village.
IV. Notes, Clarifications and Assumptions
1. Our schedule and budget assumes that no work will be performed on Saturday, Sunday or
Federal holidays.
2. Our schedule assumes that our field staff will be on-site an average of five (5) days/week and
will average eight (8) hour days for the identified 40-day project duration.
3. No additional overtime work has been included in our scope of services.
4. All work will be performed on a time and material basis, in accordance with the total estimated
fees as detailed above.
5. Our estimated fees assume that all street improvements will be constructed as designed in
2026 under a single construction engineering contract. An increase to the scope of the project
may require adjustments to our fees.
6. Our estimated fees assume that the proposed project will be completed within an estimated
45-working-day time limit. An increase to the project duration may require an adjustment to our
fees.
7. No “As-Built” surveys or record drawings will be prepared. All recorded construction
information will be obtained from onsite field journals and documented on applicable plan
sheets. Any “As-Built” elevations of utility structures, curb lines, etc., would be performed as an
additional service.
8. Construction layout and staking will be provided by GHA. Efforts will be limited to field marking
of removals with paint.
9. Project documentation using IDOT CMMS management system will not be provided as part of
our record keeping services. The nature of the proposed work does not require the use of this
system, and utilizing it would add unnecessary costs to the project.
10. Any construction observation services performed directly by Village staff will be documented by
said staff in a separate field book and a copy of the associated quantities provided to GHA no
later than the next working day for inclusion in the project quantity book. GHA staff will not be
responsible for measuring or otherwise documenting quantities that were not installed under
their direct supervision.

ATTACHMENT A TO GEWALT HAMILTON ASSOCIATES, INC.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
1. Standard of Care. The services provided by Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (GHA) under this Agreement will be reasonably
performed consistent with the generally accepted standard of care for the Scope of Basic Services called for herein at the time when and the
place where the services are provided. GHA will use reasonable care to comply with applicable codes and laws in effect at the time its
services are provided.
2. Duration of Proposal. The terms of this Agreement are subject to renegotiation if not accepted within 60 calendar days of the
date indicated on this Agreement. Requests for extension beyond 60 calendar days shall be made in writing prior to the expiration date. The
fees and terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for one year from the date of acceptance of this Agreement, and shall be
subject to revision at that time, or any time thereafter if GHA gives written notice to the other party at least 60 calendar days prior to the
requested date of revision. In the event that the parties fail to agree on the new rates or other revisions, either party may terminate this
Agreement as provided for herein.
3. Client Information. Client shall provide GHA with all project criteria and full information for its Scope of Basic Services. GHA
may rely, without liability, on the accuracy and completeness of the information Client provides, including that of its other consultants,
contractors and subcontractors, without independently verifying that information.
4. Payment. Payments are due within 30 calendar days after a statement is rendered. Statements not paid within 60 calendar days of
the end of the calendar month when the statement is rendered will bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month until paid. The
provision for the payment of interest shall not be construed as authorization to pay late. Failure of the Client to make payments when due
shall, in GHA’s sole discretion, be cause for suspension of services without breach or termination of this agreement. Upon notification by
GHA of suspension of services, Client shall pay in full all outstanding invoices within 7 calendar days. Client’s failure to make such payment
to GHA shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement and shall be cause for termination by GHA. GHA shall be entitled to
reimbursement of all costs actually incurred by GHA in collecting overdue accounts under this Agreement, including, without limitations,
attorney’s fees and costs. GHA shall have no liability for any claims or damages arising from either suspension or termination of this
Agreement due to Client’s breach The Client’s obligation to pay for GHA’s services is in no way dependent upon the Client’s ability to
obtain financing, rezoning, payment from a third party, approval of governmental or regulatory agencies or the Client’s completion of the
project.
5. Instruments of Service. The Client acknowledges GHA’s plans and specifications, including field data, notes, calculations, and
all documents or electronic data, are instruments of service. GHA shall retain ownership rights over all original documents and instruments
of service. All instruments of service provided by GHA shall be reviewed by Client within 10 calendar days of receipt. Any deficiencies,
errors, or omissions the Client discovers during this period will be reported to GHA and will be corrected as part of GHA’s Basic Services.
Failure to provide such notice shall constitute a waiver. The Client shall not reuse or make, or permit to be made, any modifications to the
instruments of service without the prior written authorization of GHA. The Client waives all claims against GHA arising from any reuse or
modification of the instruments of service not authorized by GHA. The Client agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to defend and
indemnify and hold GHA harmless from any liability, damage, or cost, including attorneys’ fees, arising from the unauthorized reuse or
modification of the instruments of service by any person or entity. The parties agree that if elements of the Scope of Basic Services identified
in this Agreement are reduced and/or eliminated by Client, then Client waives, releases and holds GHA harmless from all claims and
damages arising from those reduced and/or eliminated services. If GHA’s Scope of Basic Services does not include construction
administration phase services, Client assumes responsibility for interpretation of the instruments of service and construction observation, and
waives all claims against GHA for any act, omission or event connected thereto. Unless included in GHA’s Scope of Basic Services, GHA
shall not be liable for coordination with of the services of Client’s other design professionals.
6. Electronic Files. The Client acknowledges that differences may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed
instruments of service. In the event of a conflict between the signed / sealed printed instruments of service prepared by GHA and the
electronic files, the signed / sealed instruments of service shall control. GHA’s electronic files shall be prepared in the current software GHA
uses and will follow GHA’s standard formatting unless the Scope of Basic Services requires otherwise. Client accepts that GHA makes no
warranty that its software will be compatible with other systems or software.
7. Applicable Codes. The Client acknowledges that applicable laws, codes and regulations may be subject to various, and possibly
contradictory, interpretations. Client accepts that GHA does not warrant or guarantee that the Client’s project will comply with interpretations
of applicable laws, codes, and regulations as they may be interpreted to the project. Client agrees that GHA shall not be responsible for added
project costs, delay damages, or schedule changes arising from unreasonable or unexpected interpretations of the laws, codes, or regulations
applied to the project, nor for changes required by the permitting authorities due to changes in the law that became effective after completion
of GHA’s instruments of service. Client shall compensate GHA for additional fees required to revise the instruments of service to comply
with such interpretations. Client shall also compensate GHA for additional fees required to revise the instruments of service if Client changes
the project scope after GHA’s completes its instruments of service.
8. Utilities and Soils. When the instruments of service include information pertaining to the location of underground utility facilities
or soils, such information represents only the opinion of the engineer as to the possible locations. This information may be obtained from
visible surface evidence, utility company records or soil borings performed by others, and is not represented to be the exact location or nature
of these utilities or soils in the field. Client agrees that GHA may reasonably rely on the accuracy and completeness of information furnished
by third parties respecting utilities, underground conditions and soils without performing any independent verification. Contractor is solely
responsible for utility locations, their markings in the field and their placement on the plans based on information they provided. Client agrees
GHA is not liable for damages resulting from utility conflicts, mistaken utility locates, unfavorable soils, and concealed or unforeseen
conditions, including but not limited to added construction costs and/or project delays. If the Client wishes to obtain the services of a
contractor to provide test holes and exact utility locations, GHA may incorporate that information into the design and reasonably rely upon it.
If not included in the Scope of Basic Services, such work will be compensated as additional services.
Attachment A, July, 2018 Page 1 of 2 Page 199 of 417
9. Opinion of Probable Construction Costs. GHA’s Scope of Basic Services may include the preparation of an opinion of
probable construction costs. Client acknowledges that GHA has no control over the costs of labor, materials, or equipment, or over the
contractor’s methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions. Opinions of probable costs, shall be made on
the basis of experience and qualifications applied to the project scope contemplated by this Agreement as well as information provided by
Client (the accuracy and completeness of which GHA may rely upon), and represent GHA’s reasonable judgment. Client accepts that GHA
does not guarantee or warrant that proposals, bids, or the actual construction costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared for
the Client. GHA shall not be liable for cost differentials between the bid and/or actual costs and GHA’s opinion of probable construction
costs. Client agrees it shall employ an independent cost estimator if, based on its sole determination, it wants more certainty respecting
construction costs,
10. Contractor’s Work. Client agrees that GHA does not have control or charge of and is not responsible for construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for site or worker safety measures and programs including enforcement of Federal, State
and local safety requirements, in connection with construction work performed by the Client or the Client’s construction contractors. GHA is
not responsible for the supervision and coordination of Client’s construction contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, fabricators, erectors,
operators, suppliers, or any of their employees, agents and representatives of such workers, or responsible for any machinery, construction
equipment, or tools used and employed by contractors and subcontractors. GHA has no authority or right to stop the work. GHA may not
direct or instruct the construction work in any regard. In no event shall GHA be liable for the acts or omissions of Client’s construction
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, fabricators, erectors, operators or suppliers, or any persons or entities performing any of the work,
or for failure of any of them to carry out their work as called for by the Construction Documents. The Client agrees that the Contractor is
solely responsible for jobsite and worker safety and warrants that this intent shall be included in the Client’s agreement with all prime
contractors. The Client agrees that GHA and GHA’s personnel and consultants (if any) shall be defended/indemnified by the Contractor for
all claims asserted against GHA which arise out of the Contractor’s or its subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in the performance
of their work, and shall also be named as an additional insured on the Contractor’s and subcontractors’ general liability insurance policy.
Client warrants that this intent shall be included in the Client’s agreement with all prime contractors. If the responsible prime contractor’s
agreement fails to comply with the Client’s intent then the Client agrees to assume the duty to defend and indemnify GHA for claims arising
out of the Contractor’s or subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in the performance of their work.
11. Contractor Submittals. Shop drawing and submittal reviews by GHA shall apply only to the items in the submissions that
concern GHA’s scope of Basic Services and only for the purpose of assessing if, upon successful incorporation in the project, they are
generally consistent with the GHA’s Instruments of Service. Client agrees that the Contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and
for compliance with the Instruments of Service. Owner agrees that GHA’s review and action in relation to the submissions does not constitute
the provision of means, methods, techniques, sequencing or procedures of construction or extend to jobsite or worker safety. GHA’s
consideration of a component does not constitute acceptance of an assembled item.
12. Hazardous Materials. Client agrees that GHA has no responsibility or liability for any hazardous or toxic materials,
contaminants or pollutants.
13. Record Drawings. If required by the Scope of Basic Services, record drawings will be prepared which may include unverified
information compiled and furnished by others, the accuracy and completeness of which GHA may reasonably rely upon. Client accepts that
GHA shall not verify the information provided to it and agrees GHA will not be responsible for any errors or omissions in the record
drawings due to incorrect or incomplete information furnished by others to GHA.
14. Disputes. Client agrees to limit GHA’s total aggregate liability to the Client for GHA’s alleged acts, errors or omissions to
$50,000 or the amount of GHA’s paid fees for its services on the project, whichever is greater. GHA’s liability to Client shall be limited to
twelve months from the last invoice submitted to Client by GHA, regardless of payment by Client. GHA makes no guarantees or warranties,
either expressed or implied, including any warranty of habitability or fitness for a particular purpose. The parties agree to waive all claims
against the other for any and all consequential damages, including attorneys’ fees. The parties agree to waive against each other all rights and
claims otherwise covered by property insurance, by builder’s risk insurance or by all risk insurance, including but not limited to subrogation
rights regardless of whether the claims arise during or post-construction and regardless of final payment to GHA.
All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall first be negotiated between the parties. If unresolved, the dispute shall
be submitted to mediation as a condition precedent to litigation. Mediation shall take place in Chicago, Illinois unless the Client and GHA
mutually agree otherwise. The fees and costs of the mediator shall be apportioned equally between the parties. If mediation is unsuccessful,
litigation shall be the form of dispute resolution and shall be filed in the jurisdiction where the project was pending. The controlling law shall
be the law of the jurisdiction where the project was located. Client agrees that all causes of action under this Agreement shall be deemed to
have accrued and all statutory limitations periods shall commence no later than the date of GHA’s services being substantially completed.
Client agrees that any claim against GHA arising out of this Agreement shall be asserted only against the entity and not against GHA’s
owners, officers, directors, shareholders, or employees, none of whom shall bear any liability and may not be subject to any claim.
15. Miscellaneous. Either Client or GHA may terminate this Agreement without penalty at any time with or without cause by giving
the other party ten (10) calendar days prior written notice. The Client shall, within thirty (30) calendar days of termination pay GHA for all
services rendered and all costs incurred up to the date of termination in accordance with compensation provisions of this Agreement. Client
shall not assign this Agreement without GHA’s prior written consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

Subject: Engineering Land-Disturbance Review Fee
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
None
Background:
Engineering review of site civil plans is required for many development and construction projects.
These reviews involve analysis of grading, stormwater impacts, utilities, pavement design, and other
factors necessary to protect public infrastructure and adjacent properties.
Currently, the Village does not have a standardized fee directly tied to land-disturbance review. This
results in staff time and engineering resources being absorbed without a dedicated cost-recovery
mechanism.
The proposed amendment establishes a review fee that scales with the size of the disturbed area.
This structure reflects typical engineering effort and provides predictability for applicants.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an Ordinance amending Title 16 of the Mundelein Municipal Code to establish an
Engineering Land-Disturbance Review Fee based on disturbed square footage, and to approve the
corresponding update to the Village Fee Schedule (Title 3, Chapter 3.80).

Executive Summary
It is my privilege to submit to Mayor Meier and the Board of Trustees the 2026/2027 Budget for the Village of
Mundelein. The approved budget is a responsible and transparent financial plan that incorporates key policies
and priorities established by the Village Board and Finance Committee. This budget prioritizes key life safety
and customer service initiatives that remain core to our municipal mission and supports the Goals for Vision
Attainment as well as several targets for action as outlined in our Strategic Plan.
The total budgeted expenditure for all funds is $88 million, with over $19 million budgeted for significant capital
improvements. Over $64 million in capital projects are included in the five-year Capital Improvement Plan. The
Village will also spend over $30 million on personnel costs, including salaries, pensions, and insurance.
A budget is adopted for the Village’s General Fund for FY26 with anticipated revenues of $38.9 million and
planned expenditures of $46.1 million. Reserves will be used to balance the anticipated $7.2 million deficit
leaving the Village with a 60% fund balance target. Water/sewer rates have a 5.5% increase in the upcoming
fiscal year to fund operating costs and capital projects including the advanced metering infrastructure project.
This past year we saw a number of developments, annexations, and projects come to fruition. While this is
exciting and welcoming growth it also adds an additional impact on the resources we provide. Over the next 3-
5 years the Village could see a 10-15% increase in population.
Staff will continue to monitor the budget for any impacts due to the current economic environment, as well as
State policy changes that may impact the Village’s financial condition. There is always the possibility that the
State may reduce the State Tax distributions to local governments. In February 2026, the State communicated
that there is a proposal to reduce the distributive share of income taxes from 6.47% to 6.28% but are indicating
that distributions would be flat. Amendments may be necessary to the budget if there are in fact any significant
future reductions in State funding.
We continue to focus on fiscal responsibility, improved efficiency, and creating a downtown identity, and these
objectives are reflected in the preparation of this budget. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns,
please contact me. Thank you very much for your guidance and support.

General Fund Revenues Overview
In developing the revenue estimates for the Village, each department provides data that is then reviewed by the
Finance Department and Administrator’s Office. Historical trends are utilized in conjunction with the current
economic climate to generate conservative realistic amounts. No set percentages are used to forecast the outer
years for each line item; an analysis is completed for each revenue with known facts and reasonable expectations.
This process includes ongoing scrutiny of the Village’s current financial position; changes and modifications in
assumptions; and variations in the economic climate impacting the community.
This chart presents a history of all General Fund Revenues in the Village for the past ten years (in millions of
dollars). FY27 revenues are budgeted at $38.87 million. The chart shows the projected collections for FY26.
Three revenue sources comprise approximately 82% of the Village’s General Fund revenues (property taxes, sales
taxes, and income taxes) that will be explained in additional detail on future pages.

State Income Tax History
Mundelein receives a percentage of the State’s income tax based on population. Income taxes constitute 14% of
the general fund revenues. Income taxes are impacted by the economic climate and any changes in the State
funding formula. After many years of substantial growth, this revenue declined dramatically following the Great
Recession. Recent years have shown steady income tax revenue from corporate and individual taxes.

Water / Sewer
The Village’s Water/Sewer enterprise fund derives its revenue directly from the users of the services provided
through water/sewer fees. The Village purchases its water from the Central Lake County Joint Action Water
Agency (JAWA). The Village sets its rate each year to cover all the operating and capital costs of the Village’s
water and sewer system. For additional information see the water/sewer fund pages. The water/sewer rate is
determined through a comprehensive analysis conducted by Public Works and Engineering each year that
assesses capital and operational costs as well as wholesale water purchase rates. The comparison chart below
includes Mundelein’s proposed rate increase of 5.5% in FY27.

Fire Department
The Fire Department is divided into five divisions: Administration, Operations, Fire Prevention, Rescue
Operations, and Emergency Management.
The Mundelein Fire Department is an ISO Class 2 municipal fire department with 33 sworn career members and
4 contract firefighter/paramedics that respond from two fire stations. In 2025, we responded to 5,090 calls for
service. This will be an increase of 73 calls from 2024.
We are a full-service public safety agency with the responsibility of responding to and mitigating incidents
involving fires, medical emergencies, hazardous materials, technical rescues, and public service requests. In
addition to responding to calls for service, we also provide fire safety education, CPR instruction, first-aid
classes, child car seat safety checks and blood pressure checks.
In addition to our citizens, our responsibilities for response increase through automatic and mutual aid
agreements with our neighboring departments. The Mundelein Fire Department is a member of the Illinois
Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS). We are also a member of the MABAS Division 4 Specialized Response
Teams. We have firefighters who are trained to respond as members of these specialized response teams that
include technical rescue, hazardous materials mitigation, dive, sonar, and swift water/flood water
incidents. MABAS is a regional and multi-state agreement that ensures access to a wide variety of resources
from outside fire departments. By sharing services, it allows member departments the ability to participate
without having to be financially responsible for maintaining members to fill all the specialized rescue rolls.
The Mundelein Fire Department values each customer who uses the services we provide. We are committed to
treating each person as if they are a member of our own family. Every person deserves compassionate care
and interactions. We believe that through education, prevention, and emergency service delivery, we can
make the Village of Mundelein one of the safest places to live, work, and play.
“Serving our Community with Professionalism, Integrity, and Pride”
FY2026 ACHIEVEMENTS
Responded to 5,090 calls for service, transported 2,211 patients to local hospitals, and treated /
released 823 patients.
We conducted 5 successful blood drives in partnership with Vitalant. 296 blood donations
were made. These donations have helped save up to 888 area hospital patients lives.
We received a $26,000 small tools grant through the Office of the State Fire Marshall for battery
powered extrication equipment.
Received and placed into service a new ambulance that was ordered in 2022.
Completed the modernization of the Village of Mundelein outdoor warning siren system that is
programmed to automatically activate when the National Weather Service issues a tornado
warning.

Water / Sewer Fund
The Water/Sewer fund is Mundelein’s only enterprise fund, all operations and capital activities are reported
within this fund. The water comes from Lake Michigan through the Central Lake County Joint Action Water
Agency (CLCJAWA). Water quality is consistently monitored by the Village, the Illinois EPA, CLCJAWA, and
independent labs. Over 2.5 million gallons flow through the Village’s water system daily.
Water division staff operate the distribution system consisting of 125 miles of main, four pumping stations, 6.5
million gallons of storage, and two emergency wells as standby water sources. Staff ensures that all
requirements set forth by the IEPA and IDNR are met by exercising valves, replacing meters, flushing hydrants,
sampling/testing water and various other activities.
Wastewater Division staff operate and maintain the waste collection system, including the 5 million gallon per
day water reclamation facility. The primary responsibility of the division is operation of the collection system
and plant; continuing to meet federal and state IEPA requirements. There are eight lift stations and over 100
miles of sewer main that this division maintains.
The proposed CLCJAWA FY2026-2027 budget indicates a 5% to the rate charged to its members for water
purchases. This is reflected in the expenditures shown within this budget proposal.

Capital Improvement Plan Summary
The Village has over $200 million in infrastructure and other capital assets. The Village continues making a
significant investment in its infrastructure. Millions of dollars are spent annually to maintain these assets.
Funding for the non-water/sewer capital projects are generated from a variety of sources. Motor fuel taxes
from the State, grants, impact fees, bond issuances, and general fund reserves help pay for these improvements.
Water/sewer charges to customers along with connection fees pay for the capital items in the water/sewer
enterprise fund.
In preparing the Capital Improvement Plan, various factors are used in establishing the priority level for each
project. Infrastructure condition, intensity of use, and cost are all contemplated while developing the Capital
Improvement Plan.
Listed below are the requested dollar amounts for each of the major classes of fixed assets for the next five
years.

Streets/Transportation
The primary revenue sources for street maintenance are the motor fuel tax, along with the Road & Bridge
property tax, and the municipal utility tax. In addition, grant proceeds are also utilized. Engineering establishes
a five-year Street Improvement Plan to guide the process in determining the streets to reconstruct or resurface
on an annual basis.
In the FY2027 Streets program, the streets to be rehabilitated are Brighton Drive, N. Southport Road, Chetwood
Court, Yorkshire Drive, Brentwood Drive, Blackburn Drive, Regent Drive, Emerald Avenue, S. Greenview Avenue,
Killarney Pass Circle, Killarney Pass Drive and Dunbar Road.
Additional work this year includes the following:
Pavement Preservation—A Village program implemented to supplement the Annual Streets program to
extend the useful lives of streets throughout the Village that are in fair-to-good condition through spot
patching and resurfacing.
Sidewalk In-fill Program—Adopted in 2017, this program addresses disconnected or fragmented
sidewalk networks by installing sidewalks in vacant areas.
Downtown infrastructure improvements.

Stormwater
Stormwater funding is generated primarily from two sources: the stormwater utility fees and packaged liquor
tax. These revenues generate approximately $850,000 annually. Also received are the development fees, but
this is not a consistent revenue stream. The stormwater revenue is used primarily for the Management Program
and debt service. Stormwater components of the road program are included in the Water Enterprise fund.

Financial Impact:
None

None
Background:
The Village’s 9-1-1 Surcharge Fund (Fund 291), is no longer necessary due to the closing of the Joint
Central Lake County ETSB as of November 6, 2025, and the transition of the Village of Mundelein's

The Sewer Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 530), the New Sewer Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund
531), the Water Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 540), the New Water Additions/Expansion Fund
(Fund 541) are maintained solely for the recording of revenues. Staff recommend closing the Sewer
Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 530), the New Sewer Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 531), the
Water Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 540), the New Water Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 541)
and merging it into Fund 500 to simplify the accounting and include it with the other water and
sewer revenue and expenses.
These fund closures were incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2027 budget and are effective May 1,
2026.
Recommendation:
Motion to adopt the Resolution to Close the 9-1-1 Surcharge Fund (Fund 291) and the Sewer
Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 530), the New Sewer Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 531), the
Water Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund 540), and the New Water Additions/Expansion Fund (Fund

1. Bill of Sale, Waiver of Liability, and Hold Harmless Agreement for Comfort Canine - 04-13-2026
Background:
This request comes after a comprehensive review of the performance and development of the police
department's comfort dog program. Since its inception, the comfort dog program has been designed
to carry out and support a common set of objectives for both community members and
departmental personnel. While aspects of the program have been successful, others are not meeting
expectations. Barriers to success exist, and all attempts to mediate or remedy the underlying issues
have been ineffective. Therefore, after careful review, meaningful discussion, and consideration of
responsible resource allocation, the decision has been made to discontinue the comfort dog
program.
Recommendation:
Motion to authorize the Village Administrator to sign the Bill of Sale, Waiver of Liability, and Hold
Harmless Agreement for Canine Millie.
Page 335 of 417
BILL OF SALE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND HOLD
HARMLESS AGREEMENT FOR CANINE
In consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00), and the transfer of ownership of Village police
service canine known as Millie (“Dog”), from the Village of Mundelein (the “Village”) to Stephanie
Escobar (“Purchaser”), the Purchaser hereby releases and forever discharges the Village, its
agents, employees, officers, successors, and assigns, from any and all claims, demands, actions,
or causes of action for injury, disability, loss, or property damage that may be sustained by the
Purchaser or any other person , as a result of contact with or actions by the Dog.
The Purchaser accepts full responsibility for the Dog and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless the Village and its agents, employees, officers, successors, and assigns, from and against
any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to any injury or damage to any person or property
caused by the Dog after the transfer of ownership, which shall be effective as of the date listed
below.
Purchaser understands and agrees that the Village offers no warranty as to the current or future
condition of health of the Dog; Purchaser agrees to that to accept ownership of the Dog “as is”
and that she is taking full responsibility for all costs associated with the care and maintain of the
Dog. This transfer means that all ownership and rights after the date both parties sign this
agreement belong to Purchaser.
Both parties agree to respond to any inquiries regarding the termination of the comfort dog
program by stating that the program was terminated by mutual agreement because the program
was not progressing or meeting all the intended objectives that were envisioned when it was first
developed. Purchaser shall refer any follow up questions directly to the Village Chief of Police.
The Purchaser also hereby accepts the following conditions of sale.
1. The Purchaser will not sell, loan out or give away the Dog, without the written approval
of the Village.
2. The Purchaser will use the Dog only as a pet but may train the Dog and enter
competitions.
3. The Purchaser will not use the Dog as a detection, rescue, or service animal in any
capacity, without the written approval of the Village.
This release, waiver, and hold harmless agreement is binding upon Transferee, his/her heirs,
executors, administrators, and assigns.
Page 336 of 417
This document is the full and complete agreement between the parties regarding this matter.
The parties’ signatures below constitute consent to the Agreement and Transfer of Ownership of
the Dog to Purchaser.
The Parties have executed this Agreement on this 13th day of April 2026.

Subject: New Building Code Adoption 2024 IBC
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
None
Background:
The Village currently uses the International Building Codes as the framework for the Mundelein
Building Code and has done so since November of 2003. Prior to that, various editions of the BOCA
model code were used since 1977.
The International Building Code (IBC) is designed through regulations, to safeguard the public, health,
and safety in all communities. It is a comprehensive code that establishes minimum regulations for
building systems using prescriptive and performance related provisions. It allows for the use of new
materials and new designs and methods of construction, among others.
Adoption of the 2024 International Code is being proposed, replacing the 2018 edition. The 2024 is
the next series of codes and continues to accept new products, construction methods, materials and
more.
Effective January 1, 2025, Illinois mandates a statewide building code (Public Act 103-0510), requiring
all jurisdictions to adopt a baseline building code meaning the edition of the International Building
Code, including Appendix G, first published by the International Code Council during the current year
or preceding 9 calendar years with the least restrictive provisions for structural design. Our codes
would have been past this 9-calendar year requirement next year.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an ordinance amending Chapter 16.04 - Mundelein Building Code.

Attachments:
None
Background:
The Village currently uses the International Building Codes as the framework for the Mundelein One-
and Two- Family Dwelling Code and has done so since November of 2003. Prior to that, various
editions of the BOCA model code were used since 1977.
The International Residential Code (IRC) is designed through regulations, to safeguard the public,
health, and safety in all communities. It is a comprehensive code that establishes minimum
regulations for building systems using prescriptive and performance related provisions. It allows for
the use of new materials and new designs and methods of construction, among others.
Adoption of the 2024 International Residential Code is being proposed, replacing the 2018 edition.
The 2024 is the next series of codes and continues to accept new products, construction methods,
materials and more.
Effective January 1, 2025, Illinois mandates a statewide building code (Public Act 103-0510), requiring
all jurisdictions to adopt a baseline building code meaning the edition of the International Building
Codes, first published by the International Code Council during the current year or preceding 9
calendar years with the least restrictive provisions for structural design. Our codes would have been
past this 9-calendar year requirement next year.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an ordinance amending Chapter 16.05: Mundelein One- and Two-Family Dwelling
Code.

Subject: Ordinance Amending Building Department Permit Requirements and Fee References
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
None
Background:
In 2024, the Building Department took a complete new look at the permit fees and introduced the
“2,3,4“permit fee structure in attempt to provide more transparency and ease of calculation while at
the same time keeping permit and other fees at a “reasonable” rate.
The proposed fees being provided here keep the same calculation (the 2,3,4, format) but based on
permit software expenses, rising internal expenses and outside factors some permit fees needed
adjustment and new fees introduced. An “Application Fee” is being proposed to cover expenses of
initial submittals and reviews, as well as the fact that some permits are applied for and never issued
or picked up by customers due to them not doing the work. We have also included permit review
fees which are needed to cover internal costs of those reviews and are in line with, or cheaper than,
several of our neighboring communities. Permit fees for our “Minor” and “Standard” permits were
increased to cover required internal expenses.
Based on ordinance 16.06.090 - Annual fee review:
Permit fees should be reviewed each year as part of the budget process, including review of the CPI
index, with the fees being rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. Fees could be increased
commiserate to the consumer price index increase each year. This would eliminate staff time to re-
create the fee schedule each year. I would also recommend that each year, a comparison of the
increased CPI fees be compared with our neighboring communities to ensure we are not falling
behind. While the CPI is a good overall factor for the cost of business, with Municipal entities being
mostly customer service providers, different sources of revenue are. Also, for years, salaries and
Page 362 of 417
benefits have lagged those of the private sector due to budget constraints and the fear of raising
taxes. These permits fees can be viewed as a user fee, as they are only contributable to those who
use the service.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an ordinance amending Chapter 16.06 regarding building permit requirements and
applicable fees.

Background:
The Village of Mundelein currently uses the National Electric Code as the basis of the Mundelein
Electric Code.
The purpose of the National Electrical Code is the practical safeguarding of persons and property
from hazards arising from the use of electricity.
We are proposing the amendment of the current 2017 National Electrical Code by replacing it with
the 2023 National Electrical Code and keeping the same local amendments we currently have. These
amendments have worked well for us over the past few years, and we don’t feel we need any
additional.
Effective January 1, 2025, Illinois mandates a statewide building code (Public Act 103-0510), requiring
all jurisdictions to adopt a baseline code including the edition of the National Electric Code (NFPA-
70), first published by the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) during the current year or
preceding 9 calendar years. Our codes would have been past this 9-calendar year requirement next
year.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an ordinance amending Chapter 16.12 Mundelein Electric Code.

Background:
The Village currently uses the International Building Codes as the framework for the Mundelein Fire
Code.
The International Fire Code is designed through
regulations, to safeguard the public, health, and safety in all communities. It is a comprehensive
code that established minimum regulations for fire safety using prescriptive and performance-related
provisions. It allows for the use of new materials and new designs and methods of construction,
among others.
Adoption of the 2024 Fire Code is being proposed, replacing the 2018 edition. The 2024 is the next
series of codes and continues to accept new products, construction methods, materials and more.
Effective January 1, 2025, Illinois mandates a statewide building code (Public Act 103-0510), requiring
all jurisdictions to adopt a baseline code during the current year or preceding 9 calendar years. Our
codes would be past this 9-calendar year requirement next year.
Recommendation:
Motion to pass an ordinance amending Chapter 16.16 -Mundelein Fire Prevention Code.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE VILLAGE OF MUNDELEIN FIRE PREVENTION CODE
WHEREAS, the Village of Mundelein, Lake County, Illinois, is a home-rule municipality as contemplated
under Article VII, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and the passage of this Ordinance
constitutes an exercise of the Village’s home-rule powers and functions as granted in the Constitution of
the State of Illinois; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees has determined that it is in the best interest of the
Village of Mundelein to create a new Mundelein Fire Prevention Code using the 2024 Edition of the ICC
(International Code Council) International Fire Code as the Village model; and
WHEREAS, the 2024 Edition of the ICC International Fire Code is a comprehensive compilation of codes
designed to meet the needs of local fire jurisdictions through model code regulations that prescribe
safeguards for the safety and public health of all communities; and
WHEREAS, the ICC is a result of consolidation of three previously recognized model code organizations:
BOCA Building Officials & Code Administrator, ICBO International Conference of Building Officials, and
SBCCI (Southern Building Code Congress International); and
WHEREAS, the ICC offers a complete set of codes without the regional limitations or technological
disparities of the past. These codes are fully compatible with a larger set of codes promulgated by the
ICC as well. Those codes are the international Building Code, international Energy Conservation Code,
international Fuel Code, international Mechanical Code, international Plumbing Codes, international
Property Maintenance Code, international Private Sewage Disposal Code, international Residential
Code, and international Zoning Code; and

To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Lynne Monroe, Assistant Village Administrator
For: Village Board Meeting of April 13, 2026
Subject: An Ordinance Amending Title 3 Chapter 8 of the Mundelein Municipal Code
regarding Fee Schedule
Financial Impact:
N/A
Attachments:
1. O-26-04-35 - Exhibit B - Water Sewer Rates 2026-2030 04.13.2026
2. O-26-04-35 - Exhibit A 2026 Fee Updates
Background:
As part of the Village’s annual review of fees and charges, staff evaluated all items included in the
comprehensive fee schedule adopted under Ordinance 24-10-50. The fee schedule consolidates all
Village fees across multiple code chapters into one location (Chapter 3.80), allowing for consistent
annual updates aligned with operational costs, service levels, and budgeted revenue needs. For the
FY2026–2027 budget cycle, several fee categories were identified as requiring adjustment to
maintain cost recovery and ensure alignment with actual service delivery costs.
These updates include:
• Emergency and Non-Emergency Service Recovery Fees, adjusted to reflect current personnel,
equipment, and operational costs associated with Fire Department response activities.
• Solicitor/Peddler/Canvasser Permits, revised to recover administrative processing costs
related to background checks, review, and compliance monitoring.
• Water and Sewer Rates, updated to incorporate the multi-year rate adjustments adopted by
the Village Board during the FY2027 budget process. These rate increases support rising
operational costs, water supply expenses, and long-term capital projects, including the
Village’s water meter replacement program.
• Building Permit, Plan Review, and Development Related Fees, which have been updated
across Sections 16.06.020–16.06.100 to ensure that permitting, inspection, and review
Page 407 of 417
functions adequately reflect staff time, contracted service costs, and comparative municipal
benchmarks.
• Water Meter Fees, updated under Section 14.16.040 to reflect current meter equipment
costs for all meter sizes allowed by the Village.
• Owner/Developer Tree Replacement Fees, clarified to ensure accurate application of the
required replacement tree or per acre removal fees listed under Section 16.23.130.
These changes are consolidated into Exhibit A (Fee Schedule Updates) and Exhibit B (Water & Sewer
Rate Schedule 2026–2030).
Exhibit A contains all codified fee updates incorporated into Chapter 3.80, while Exhibit B remains
non-codified and serves as the basis for the annual adjustment of water and sewer rates. All updated
fees included in Exhibit A will take effect on May 1, 2026, while Water and Sewer rates contained in
Exhibit B will take effect on June 1, 2026.
The proposed ordinance formalizes these fee updates to ensure transparency, accuracy, and long-
term financial sustainability for Village services.
Recommendation:
Motion to approve an Ordinance revising the Village Fee Schedule, including updated water and
sewer rates and building permit/development fees.
