ITEMS FOR SEPARATE ACTION
2021-0644 An Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 7 of the Village Code Regulating
Water Discharges Related to Storm and Sanitary Sewer
Village Code Title 4, Chapter 7 regulates discharges into the storm and sanitary
sewers owned and maintained by the Village. A review of the section revealed a
comingling of the requirements for the two separate and distinct systems, as well
as the definitions contained therein. The attached draft separates the definitions
and the requirements for each system.
Storm Water Drainage Revisions
These revisions address prior drainage conditions, clarify that older non-compliant
storm water discharges may remain in place until a permit affecting them is
required, and specify a setback distance for storm water discharges not tied to a
Village storm sewer. Furthermore, the proposed regulations address
modifications which create adverse drainage impacts to adjoining properties.
This section is in conformance with the Illinois Drainage Law, but it replicates the
provision in the local code to allow MV citations to be utilized for pursuing
compliance.
Sanitary Sewer Discharge Revisions
The proposed revisions reorient the prior regulations under a unified section
separate from the aforementioned storm water regulations with no substantive
changes therein. Additionally, a duplicative section regarding responsibilities of
contractors and plumbers is deleted.

2021-0640 University of Chicago Medicine / 9650 Parking Deck Agreement
The Village and the University of Chicago Medicine Center (“UCMC”) entered into
a ground lease in 2015 for the parcel located at 14290 S. LaGrange Road,
pursuant to which UCMC constructed a multi-story Center for Advanced Care at
that location. The ground lease agreement required the Village to construct a
multi-level parking deck, two (2) public streets, sidewalks, and landscaping to
serve the UCMC facility with funds from the Village’s Triangle Tax Increment
Financing District. It also required the parties to enter into a maintenance
agreement for the parking structure, adjoining roadways, landscaping etc.
To date, the predominate user of the structured parking has been UCMC. UCMC
maintains a higher level standard for its facilities (designated Premium Health
Care Service Level 1), and it was always anticipated that UCMC would therefore
manage the day to day operation of the 9650 Parking Deck and that the costs
associated therewith would be apportioned in accordance to the use of the facility
and surrounding environs. These tasks include plowing, deicing, snow removal,
power washing, sweeping, landscape, litter control, and routine inspection of the
facility. The Village maintains the responsibility for the capital repairs and
replacement costs of the facility. Each respective task identified herein has been
assigned an equitable percentage cost share based upon allocation of facilities
and resources, as outlined in the agreement.
The attached multi-year agreement details the specific task lists and cost split for
the aforementioned items. In short, the Village is now responsible for a
$171,049.90 true-up, which costs cover the documented expenses for the period
from 2016 to current. Following the true-up payment, starting on the fourth quarter
2021, the Village would be responsible for expenses at a flat rate of $21,709.75
per quarter ($89,839.00 per year), with the amount being adjusted each year of
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 3 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
the five (5) year term, by the then current CPI-U figure, beginning in the first quarter
of 2022.
To protect both parties from outlier snow years, the agreement calls out the
average annual snowfall, as measured at the closest NOAA weather station, and
applies a second quarter adjustment (up or down) for any season where snow
totals are ten (10) inches greater, or less than, the annual snowfall average at a
rate of $1,521.44 per inch outside of that ten (10) inch buffer margin.
The agreement would automatically renew every five (5) years, unless there is a
mutual agreement to terminate, subject to the parties gathering prior to each
renewal to reset the quarterly payments based upon then current rates for the
described services.

2021-0378 Lawler Resubdivision of Peony Place Subdivision - Development Petition
for Site Plan and Subdivision
In 2019, the Board of Trustees approved a three (3) lot subdivision for three (3)
single family residences. Two (2) of the lots (Lots 1 and 2) had frontages on Third
Avenue, with the third lot (Lot 3) having a frontage along 144th Place. At this time,
only Lot 3 of Peony Place Subdivision has been constructed.
In addition, Variances were granted for lot widths exceeding the maximum fifty
(50) feet for Lots 1 and 2 as well as to waive the required sidewalk along the east
side of Second Avenue and the west side of Third Street.
The present petition is for the re-subdivision of the undeveloped Lots 1 and 2 into
three (3) lots of conforming size as well as for approval for a conceptual Site Plan.
CONTEXT & PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located west of Third Avenue, east of Second Avenue and
is situated centrally in the residential area of the Old Orland Historic District.
Single family residential homes surround the property on all sides. Just north of
this development, is the Kelly Grove subdivision and to the south is the
constructed Lot 3 of Peony Place Subdivision as well as two (2) other single family
households.
The petitioner is proposing to subdivide the remaining two (2) lots of Peony Place
Subdivision (Lots 1 and 2), located at 14414 and 14420 Third Avenue, into three
(3) conforming lots. The lots are proposed as single family residential with
detached garages at the rear. The proposed homes will be similar in size to
recently constructed single family homes in the Historic District. The design and
style of the new homes will meet Village building code and Historic District
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 8 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
regulations for new construction.
There are no Variances requested as part of this Development Petition. A
Variance was granted previously for the Peony Place Subdivision to waive the
sidewalk requirements on the west side of Third Avenue and the east side of
Second Avenue. It has been determined by Development Services that the
present re-subdivision does not constitute a need to re-petition for the Variance.
Overall, with the exception of the previously granted Variance to waive the
sidewalks, the project conforms to the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Land
Development Codes and policies for this area.
SITE PLAN
The proposed site plan indicates three (3) new single family residential lots with
detached rear garages. The new homes are all located street facing. The three (3)
proposed lots are oriented east to west and face Third Avenue, with detached
garages located to the rear and accessed via a driveway that enters from the rear
yard off of Second Avenue.
PLAN COMMISSION DISCUSSION - AUGUST 31, 2021
A public hearing was held before the Plan Commission on August 31, 2021. The
issues discussed at the public hearing are summarized below:
Members of the public were in attendance at the public hearing. Concerns raised
included the rear detached garages and the appearance of 2nd Avenue in
regards to the amount of rear facing garages, whether the proposed project was
in compliance with Old Orland Historic District standards, and concerns regarding
the speed of traffic on 144th Place and the fear of increased traffic as a result of
three (3) new single family houses.
Commission concerns included the following:
Sidewalks
Concerns were raised regarding the lack of proposed sidewalks surrounding the
development. Staff stated that, when Peony Place Subdivision was first approved
in 2019, a Variance was supported and granted to waive the sidewalk
requirements as it’s common for sidewalks in the Old Orland Historic District to
only be installed on one side of the road. Sidewalk connections exist on the east
side of Third Avenue and the west side of Second Avenue. Due to the fact that a
Variance was previously granted for the waiving of the sidewalks, and after
consultation with the Village’s attorney, Development Services did not require the
Variance be sought again as the area of impact is not expanding.
Stormwater
Commissioners expressed concerns regarding the existing infrastructure in Old
Orland Historic District and the history of minor flooding throughout the district.
Staff stated that the larger issue, aging infrastructure, cannot be resolved with any
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 9 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
single petition. New developments are required to contain and route its
stormwater to the appropriate infrastructure. Scott Schreiner, the petitioner's
Engineer, explained the projects design and how the design will meet Village
requirements and that it will not result in any negative impacts to the surrounding
area. Further, staff stated that the amount of permeable surface proposed for each
of the lots is advantageous to controlling adverse stormwater issues.
Overall, the Plan Commission expressed support for the project. However, due to
the public concern regarding safety and the Commission’s concern regarding the
waiving of the sidewalks, the Plan Commission voted 5-1 in the motion regarding
the Plat of Subdivision in order to send the project to the Committee of the Whole
for further discussion.
PLAN COMMISSION MOTION - AUGUST 31, 2021

make findings of fact as discussed at this Plan Commission meeting and within

2021-0657 FY2021 Budget Amendment #5 - Approval
A detailed spreadsheet (by fund) reflecting budget adjustments is attached. This is
the fourth budget amendment for FY2021.
General Fund
Staffing changes
Development Services
At the May 3, 2021 Village Board meeting, following an RFP process the Village
awarded a contract to Safebuilt for Professional Plan Review. Inspection and
Support services on an as-needed basis. At the Village's request, Safebuilt
submitted a proposal to provide a 40-hour per week on-site employee to
undertake the responsibilities of the Development Services Office Support
Supervisor. The total estimated increase for the balance of 2021 is $3,705.
Development Services
The Village is planning to implement a Zoning Coordinator responsible for review
of all zoning requirements related to permit application submittals for both
residential and commercial permit applications, including but not limited to,
setbacks, allowable height, lot coverage, any other aspects of the Land
Development Code. This cost will be offset by the elimination of the Building and
Information Coordinator positon. The estimated decrease for the balance of 2021
will be ($5,394).
Finance
Lauterbach & Amen, LLP submitted a proposal to provide a 40-hour per week,
on-site employee to undertake the responsibilities of the Accounts Payable
Coordinator position that is vacant due to retirement. The estimated increase for
the balance of 2021 is $1,560.
Public Works
The Village is planning to reestablish the Fleet Manager position to oversee the
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 12 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
fleet functions. This cost will be offset by the elimination of the vacant part-time
Public Works Management Analyst position. The estimated increase for the
balance of 2021 is $26,565.
Plan Reviews
With the additional need for outsourced plan reviews and the contract approved
with Safebuilt, it is necessary to include a budget amendment to cover the
anticipated costs for their services for the remainder of 2021. Total estimated cost
for 2021 is $142,000, based on early utilization, and is offset by the document
scanning project ($300,000) that was deferred in budget amendment #4.
Additionally, development fees are collected to pay for these costs.
Capital Projects Fund
New cabling for digital camera upgrades at the Police Department are needed.
To complete the work, a contract amendment will be required and will be
considered at an upcoming board meeting.
G.O. Bonds
Budget amendments are required as a result of Bond Refundings that occurred
earlier this year. The 2012A Bonds (Fund 423) were replaced by 2021A, which
are being paid from the Water & Sewer Fund as well as the newly created Debt
Service Fund, which will eventually account for all governmental debt service
payments. The 2021B bonds include property tax revenue and an interest
payment in 2021. In addition, the Village needs to amend the budget to reflect the
early redemption payment for the 2022 TIF Bond.
Finance Director Kevin Wachtel had comments regarding this matter. (refer to
audio)
President Pekau had a question. (refer to audio)
Director Wachtel responded to President Pekau. (refer to audio)
I move to recommend that the Village Board approve an increase in the General
Fund expenditure budget in the amount of $168,437, an increase in the revenue
and expense budgets for the Water and Sewer Fund in the amount of $211,565,
an increase in the expenditures budget of the Capital Projects Fund in the amount
of $35,000, a decrease in the revenue and expenditure budgets for the Bonds &
Interest 2012A GO Bonds Fund in the amount of $894,300, an increase in the
revenue and expenditure budget for the new Debt Service Fund in the amount of
$667,625, and an increase in the expenditure budget of the Bonds & Interest

permits, which would be a significant and time consuming effort for this project.
The Village’s RFP required that the consultants will be responsible for acquiring all
applicable permits.
-Wetland delineations are not included. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers require
that any wetland delineation older than five (5) years must be redone. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers permit for this project expired about two (2) years ago.

-The consultant has allocated only twenty (20) hours to review the previous design
work completed by MWRDGC. Staff’s project understanding and experience
demonstrate that this effort is significantly underestimated to complete a proper
review of the documents. The RFP requires that the “selected consultant performs
a detail review” of MWRDGC original design. This is a necessary step in revising
and updating the existing design and cost estimates.
Reasons for Rejecting Living Water Consultants, Inc. Response:
The response includes several exclusions, and staff is most concerned about the
following items:
The response includes several exclusions and staff is most concerned about the
following items:
- A detail project schedule is not provided in the response, which was a
required item in the RFP.
-A maintenance and Management (M&M) plan in not included, which is
required to determine ongoing maintenance costs. The M&M plan and costs are
required to establish the SSA for long-term creek maintenance.
-Additional soil borings are not included in the project scope. This is required,
especially in the added section of the Creek.
-The proposal offers a maximum of “15-percent survey redo” of the survey
completed by MWRDGC design, almost ten (10) years ago. This survey limit is
very concerning to the staff as staff know the Creek has continued to erode since
the original design was completed. Additional surveys are required to complete
the design and prepare accurate construction plans and costs for the project.
-The consultant has assumed “all completed engineering plans are available in
digital CAD compatible format.” The Village has and will provide electronic files
received from MWRD, but there is no guarantee that “all” documents are available
in “CAD compatible format.” The consultants are required to develop their own
drawings as needed.
-The consultant has offered to reduce its proposed fee by $45,000 if a
“Professional Land Survey is not Necessary to Survey Property Boundary Lines
for Individual Parcels (properties in Preparation of the Temporary and Permanent
Easements for Individual Parcels.” Staff believes that this statement shows that the
consultant does not fully comprehend the project requirements and deliverables.
Without a “Professional Land Survey” this project cannot be completed.
Staff has concluded that V3 Companies, Ltd. (V3) has provided the most
responsive, responsible proposal. Staff’s engineering estimate for the total
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 16 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
professional fee was approximately $400,000 and V3’s fee is approximately 10%
below the estimate. Therefore, staff is recommending to award this project to V3.
V3 included the necessary scope of services to complete the project and deliver
required documents to meet the requirements of the project.

2021-0655 Tinley Creek Stabilization - Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between
Village of Orland Park and MWRDGC
An Intergovernmental Agreement was negotiated between the Village of Orland
Park and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago
(MWRDGC) for Design Engineering Services and a Construction Contract for the
Tinley Creek Stabilization Project. This proposed agreement was reviewed by the
following staff and their comments have been incorporated in the Agreement:
-MWRDGC’s engineering staff;
-Village’s engineering staff;
-Village Manager’s office;
-MWRDGC’s attorneys; and
-Village’s attorneys.
The agreement is attached for Board of Trustees review. The following are major
items that are included in the Agreement:
-MWRDGC retains the discretion to adjust the amount of its reimbursement
commitment if, based on MWRDGC’s review of the final construction documents,
including any addenda, change orders, shop drawings, or field changes, it
determines that the project will not provide the intended public benefit.
-Although MWRDGC will reimburse the Village for a portion of the project, the
Village bears sole responsibility for the overall cost, expense, and payment for the
project, which the Village will construct in accordance with the final construction
documents.
-The Village must meet the following MWRDGC participation goals applicable to
the Project before construction is completed:
-twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of reimbursement provided by
MWRDGC for the project must be applied to work performed by Minority-Owned
Business Enterprises (“MBE”); and
-ten percent (10%) of the total amount of reimbursement provided by
MWRDGC for the project must be applied to work performed by Women-Owned
Business Enterprises (“WBE”); and
-ten percent (10%) of the total amount of reimbursement to be provided by
MWRDGC for the project must be applied to work performed by Small Business
Enterprises (“SBE”).
The Village should meet the following participation goal applicable to the project
before construction is completed: three percent (3%) of the total amount of
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 18 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
reimbursement to be provided by MWRDGC for the project should be applied to
work performed by Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (“VBE”).
The Village, at its sole cost and expense, will provide land acquisition and
remediation, if any; and construction oversight and administrative support for the
project.
The Village will submit an Operation and Maintenance Plan (hereinafter the “O&M
Plan”) for MWRDGC’s review and approval. The O&M Plan will be included as
part of the Agreement as Exhibit 9. At its sole cost and expense, the Village will
operate and maintain the project in accordance with the O&M Plan.
MWRDGC will reimburse the Village for fifty percent (50%) of the cost of final
design of the Project, but in no event will that amount exceed One Hundred
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (“Maximum Final Design
Reimbursement Amount”). The Village will be responsible for securing funding or
contributing its own funds for all costs necessary to complete final design of the
Project. The Village will be solely responsible for change orders, overruns, or any
other increases in the final design cost of the Project. All funding provided by
MWRDGC pursuant to this paragraph will be exclusively to reimburse the Village
for final design cost of the Project.
MWRDGC will reimburse the Village for seventy and 20/100 percent (70.2%) of
the total construction cost of the project, but in no event will that amount exceed
Three Million Seven Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($3,700,000.00) (the
“Maximum Construction Reimbursement Amount”). For purposes of this
Agreement, “construction” will mean all work necessary to build the Project as
depicted in the construction documents. The Village will be responsible for
securing funding or contributing its own funds for all costs necessary to construct
the project in accordance with the construction documents. The Village will be
solely responsible for change orders, overruns, or any other increases in the cost
of the project. All funding provided by MWRDGC pursuant to this paragraph will be
exclusively to reimburse the Village for construction of the project.
The Village is responsible for all other project costs including engineering,
property acquisition, other design-related costs, construction inspection, and the
remainder of the construction cost that is not reimbursed by MWRDGC.
Federal, State, and County Requirements. The Village will obtain all federal, state,
county, and local permits required by law for the construction of the Project and will
assume any costs in procuring said permits. Additionally, the Village will obtain all
consents and approvals required by federal, state, and/or county regulations for
the construction of the project and will assume any costs incurred in procuring all
such consents and approvals.
If the Project Site is located entirely within a right-of-way or perpetual easement or
VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK Page 19 of 21
Committee of the Whole Meeting Minutes September 7, 2021
on other property represented to be owned solely by and within the Village, prior to
execution of this Agreement, the Village must have an enforceable property
interest in the project site and provide proof of that interest to MWRDGC. If the
project site is situated entirely in a right-of-way or perpetual easement or on other
property owned solely by and within the Village, and if no proof of dedication,
perpetual easement, or ownership is available, the Village may request and
submit the form affidavit that MWRDGC will provide which must be executed by an
authorized officer of the Village. Acceptance of the affidavit is at MWRDGC’s
discretion.
For all surrounding property impacting or being impacted by the project, prior to
starting construction of the project, the Village will acquire any temporary or
permanent easements, license agreements, or fee simple title necessary for
access to the project site as well as construction and maintenance of the project.
The Village, at its sole cost and expense through the creation of a SSA, will
perpetually maintain the streambank stabilization along Tinley Creek and any
other associated appurtenances in accordance with the O&M plan approved by
MWRDGC.
I move to recommend to the Village Board to approve the Intergovernmental
Agreement by and between the Village of Orland Park and the Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) for the Design,
Construction, Operation and Maintenance of the Streambank Stabilization Project
along Tinley Creek in Orland Park, Illinois.
