John Wielebnicki, Director of Public Works, then gave background and an overview for this Item. Village Trustee Buchanan requested clarification on if this vendor uses gas powered leaf blowers. Director Wielebnicki responded in the affirmative, adding the vendor is in compliance with the village code for the use of gas powered leaf blowers. Village Trustee Buchanan commented they have no problem with the request for an increase in the contract pricing and understands the costs that would be incurred by the vendor to move to electric powered equipment. They will be voting "no" on this request though as they cannot vote for anything that approves the use of something that is as polluting as gas powered leaf blowers. Village Trustee Robinson expressed concern that this environmental piece intersects with an equity piece and the impact on minority businesses. There are multiple issues and Board goals that intersect on this topic, and they do not want the Board to miss the intersection between the impact on diversity, inclusion, and equity as it relates to minority business owners and sustainability. Village Trustee Enyia requested clarification on if the village could provide funds for the vendor to move to electric powered equipment. Village of Oak Park Page 9 Printed on 5/18/2022 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes May 2, 2022 Director Wielebnicki responded the cost to purchase the equipment is a ball park figure and would require a budget amendment. Staff could submit the budget amendment in July at the Board's direction. It was moved by Village Trustee Parakkat, seconded by Village Trustee Buchanan, that this Resolution be adopted. The motion was approved. The roll call on the vote was as follows: AYES: 4- Village President Scaman, Village Trustee Parakkat, Village Trustee Robinson, and Village Trustee Taglia NAYS: 3- Village Trustee Buchanan, Village Trustee Enyia, and Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla ABSENT: 0 AK. MOT 22-25 Discussion and Review of Village Staff’s Previous Recommendation to Use American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds to Purchase Portable Public Restrooms for Downtown Oak Park and Village’s Staff Revised Recommendation to Use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds as an Alternate Funding Source for Said Purchase and a Motion to Approve Staff’s Recommendation to Use CDBG Funds and Direct Staff to Prepare the Necessary Documents Village Manager Jackson introduced the Item. Tammie Grossman, Director of Development Customer Services, then gave background and an overview of this Item. Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla requested clarification on the long-term plans for operating bathrooms in the Metra station. Director Wielebnicki responded although the lease with Metra has expired, there is a full-time person maintaining the Metra station. Staff is working on securing a successor agreement with Metra as Metra generally does not take maintenance responsibility for the stations. Staff needs to work through the Metra agreement issues first and then they can proceed with developing a long-term plan. Village Trustee Robinson requested clarification regarding where these would be located. Director Grossman responded staff has identified a couple different locations including Lot 10, where Careful Peach is located, or along the train station on North Boulevard. Village Trustee Robinson requested clarification on if there has been any input from any of the businesses or residences near the potential locations, and if there needs to be an increase in police patrols if these units are to be accessible 24 hours a day. Director Grossman responded the reason they are looking at the potential locations are their proximity to the police substations. Staff could also Village of Oak Park Page 10 Printed on 5/18/2022 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes May 2, 2022 include the security at the nearby garages to monitor the bathrooms as part of their contract. Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification on if the ongoing maintenance costs would be covered from CDBG funds. Director Grossman responded the ongoing maintenance costs are not eligible CDBG expenses and would need to be budgeted in the general revenue fund. Village Trustee Parakkat requested clarification on if there would be a way to make the ongoing maintenance expense cost neutral for the community, and what would the success metrics be for this. Director Grossman responded they have not explored that option. Currently there are expenses related to cleaning the alleys and other areas being used as bathrooms and believes those costs would be pretty even with the ongoing maintenance for these units. Staff can try to pull those comparables for the Board. Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla commented this is about dignity of human life at its basic core level. They disagree there would be a need for increased police patrols especially given downtown Oak Park is one ot the most heavily policed areas in Oak Park already. There are no success metrics to this. Sometimes it is just the right thing to do. Village Trustee Robinson commented given the cost of the units and the experience of other cities they feel it is appropriate to ask about safety and remediate any potential downsides or negative drawbacks to this. There needs to be a full conversation that vets the issues and guards against anything that could potentially not make this decision as successful as possible. Village President Scaman stated the discussion tonight is if staff is being directed to use CDBG funds versus ARPA funds, and for staff to bring back to the Board their findings on all the concerns raised on one agenda item. Village Trustee Parakkat expressed concerns of building up costs in the budget and in turn making the community less affordable. They are not against this idea but would like to find balance and would like the Board to think though all aspects of the solution and how it impacts the broader community. Village Trustee Taglia expressed his support of this idea and of using CDBG funds for it. He does share safety concerns, but in regards to the safety of the homeless population accidently overdosing and not being attended to in a timely manor due to locking the door. He would like to Village of Oak Park Page 11 Printed on 5/18/2022 President and Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes May 2, 2022 ensure the security and safety as it relates to the design and implementation of these washrooms. It was moved by Village Trustee Walker-Peddakotla, seconded by Village Trustee Parakkat, to approve the Motion. The motion was approved.
