& Bid Documentation
SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
In 2023, Village Staff applied for a grant through the U.S. Forest Service’s Urban and
Community Forestry Program to provide funding for the planting of new trees within the
community in order to help grow our urban forest. In 2024, we received word that we
were awarded a $250,000.00 grant to cover the cost of planting new trees within the
community in order to make our urban forest healthier. Rather than do one mass
planting of trees, we choose to divide the project into a total of three rounds of tree
plantings, with this first round having occurred last fall, this being the second round in
the Spring of 2026, and the third and final round would then be bid out and completed
later this Fall.
A Spring 2026 tree planting round consisting of a total of 178 trees was advertised for
bid in January, and bids were then received and opened on February 20. We received a
total of four bids. A copy of the bid tabulation is included in your packet for reference. A
low bid in the amount of $62,465.00 was provided by JJ Residential Landscaping, LLC.
Staff has reviewed and determined that this bid and bidder met all requirements, and
thus we are recommending that the bid by JJ Residential Landscaping be accepted.
The funding for this work was budgeted for in the current year and next year's budgets,
with the US Forest Service grant providing 100% reimbursement of the costs. Tree
plantings would begin within 30 days of approval, and be completed within 90 days, so
to be completed by summer.
All tree plantings will occur on public property with the majority of this round of trees
Page 33 of 151
being placed within parks and along major corridors.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the acceptance of the bid and the awarding of a
contract to JJ Landscaping, LLC. in the amount of $62,465 for the planting of trees on
public property at various locations in the community.

▪ Loan Amount: $150,000.00
▪ Term: 8 years
▪ Rate: 2%
▪ Monthly Payment: $1,692.13

Timberline Grove, LLC is requesting a $150,000 Small Business Program Loan for the
purpose of operating a banquet / event center at 224 Wheat Avenue (formerly The
Linden). Timberline Grove, LLC would be acquiring the property and taking over the
existing banquet / event business. The loan funds would assist with renovations and
repairs to the facility, as well as purchase of additional equipment and with additional
marketing efforts. According to their application, “Timberline Grove, LLC is purchasing
the building and business in order to provide a meeting space for community events
including weddings, conferences, and conventions. The business will also promote
fundraising activities for community non-profits.”
Cash Flow: According to the information provided, the business has many reservations
already in place for events on the calendar, and the borrowers intend to grow the
Page 47 of 151
business further by adding and establishing two regular monthly in-house events,
increasing pricing, and reducing utility costs. They also intend to leverage their existing
Lindsay Lane Bridal business to package offerings.
Collateral: The building / property will be the collateral for the loan. The Village loan will
be in a second position as there is also a bank loan that will be utilized to acquire the
facility.
Other: The loan fits the program's preferred criteria, specifically the fact that the project
is comprised of significant investment in an existing building that has housed a
successful business for many years. The project meets the required job creation /
retention requirements of one full-time equivalent job per $30,000 borrowed. The
principals involved with the applicant have previously received loan program funds for
other business development, and they have repaid those funds with no issues. The
applicant does not currently have any debts owed to the Village.
The Loan Review Committee met on February 26, 2026, and recommended approval of
the application by a vote of 4-0.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Board approval of a $150,000 Small Business Program
Loan to Timberline Grove, LLC for improvements to and the operation of a banquet
facility/event center at 224 Wheat Avenue.

1. Rental Registration & Inspection
Documentation
SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
The Residential Rental Property Registration & Inspection Program was adopted in
2006 to maintain and improve the residential rental housing stock in the Village by
providing for the inspection and enforcement of the adopted Property Maintenance
Code on the interior of rental dwellings through the conducting of periodic inspections.
This is done to insure public health, safety, and welfare insofar as they are affected by
the maintenance of structures and premises. The Code establishes minimum standards
for all structures and premises for basic equipment and facilities for light, ventilation,
space, heating, and sanitation. Further, the Code provides safety from fire; for space,
use, and location; and for safe and sanitary maintenance of all structures and premises
currently in existence. The program was adopted after discussions involving
representatives from Village government, as well as Realtors, property owners, property
managers, neighborhood groups, and other private citizens.
All rental units are required to be registered on an annual basis, and the goal is for all
rental units to be inspected within a three-year period. Annual registrations of rental
units are good for the period of May 1 to April 30. All new rental units, as well as all
rental units where tenant changes occur, are automatically set for inspection.
Additionally, inspections of additional rental units occur as can be coordinated and
scheduled with the goal of inspecting at least 800 rental units annually.

SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS:
This agenda item provides for the purchase of three overhead transmission disconnect
switches from Fletcher-Reinhardt Company in the amount of $129,390.00 for the
proposed construction of the New Prospect Substation project.
The Village received competitive quotes for three overhead transmission disconnect
switches for the Prospect Substation project. The quotes have been reviewed for
completeness, and the ability to meet specification requirements. Please see the
attached Letter of Recommendation with a summary of the quotes for the purchase.
The quote from Fletcher-Reinhardt was the apparent low quote, and did not include any
noteworthy clarifications besides standard price escalators. Fletcher-Reinhardt has a
good list of completed reference projects. The company appears to be in good standing,
and they employ certified and trained craftsmen.
Therefore, BHMG Engineers, Inc. recommends awarding the contract to Fletcher-
Reinhardt Company for the purchase of three disconnect switches. Due to potential
price escalators and potential design changes, staff advises a contingency fund of
$6,500.00.
The purchase was included in the Fiscal Year 2026 Reserves Budget 541-1180-430.75-
70.
