Lockerby, Village Manager Cc: Brian Baker, Chief of Police From: _____________________________________________ Mike Charley, Director of Health and Human Services Subject: Co-Responder Program – Village Board Presentation – November 15, 2021 In preparation for the November 15, 2021 Village Board meeting, I am providing the following summary of the Village’s Co-Responder Program, including a program overview and a summary of the program’s May 2021 pilot. Program Overview Phase two of the Village’s co-responder program started on November 1, 2021. A decision was made to create and establish a co-responder program after a successful pilot program was completed in May of 2021. The co-responder program consists of a partnership between Skokie’s Police, Fire and Health and Human Services Departments. The program pairs a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) trained officer and social worker to respond to behavioral health-related calls. The program supports an overall effort to expand specialized law enforcement and behavioral health strategies tailored to meet the needs of people with behavioral/mental health concerns in the Skokie community. The co-responder program was developed with several key program objectives: to de-escalate situations, reduce recidivism, reduce the use of force police response, reduce the number of people with mental health issues diverted to the jail system, link individuals to appropriate services and to improve information sharing and coordination, as appropriate, across systems and service providers. The co-responder team’s hours are currently 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday. During those hours the co-responder team will be dispatched to calls involving mental health crises, including, but not limited to calls associated with mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence/abuse, well-being checks, suicide threats, sexual abuse, youth/family issues, hazardous homes, homeless and elderly issues. The co-responder team will triage individuals on-scene and will help link individuals to appropriate behavioral/mental health or substance abuse services. The team will also provide support and resources to family members and others on-scene. The team will provide on-going follow-up as needed. During the hours when the Co-Responder Team is not available, a CIT trained officer will be dispatched to calls identified as having a potential mental health crisis. Those after-hour calls will be forwarded to the Co-Responder Team the next business day if additional follow-up is required. The Co-Responder Team will actively conduct case management on those individuals that the Village has the most contact with, with the goal of linking those individuals to service and reducing recidivism. Data will be collected and used to quantify the success of the program and identify areas of improvement.  Return to Mgr Rpt Co-Responder Pilot Program Summary The pilot program was completed in May of 2021 and had Village social workers on-call to respond to requests by police and/or fire personnel to the scenes of people in crisis or need of social services. Social workers from both the Health and Human Services Department and from the Police Department were on-call from 8:30 am to 9:00 pm seven days per week during May 2021. The Social Workers assigned working hours during the pilot were 8:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday – Friday, with the understanding that they were “on-call” Monday to Friday 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 am to 9:00 pm. All calls for service indicating they may involve a social service component had a police Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) trained officer respond. The CIT officer determined if the social worker should be called in to assist. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected during the pilot. Data was collected for each call- out using the newly created Crisis Intervention Screening Form. This form captured data including client contact and demographic information, the identified incident type, the presenting problem, the patient’s mental health status, patient’s mental health treatment history, the recommended action plan (referrals) and case summary/disposition. In addition, the Police Department collected data for each call within the Police Department’s Report Management System (RMS) and within the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. Reports within the RMS are coded by the officer as “social service”, meaning a social worker was either present or would have been useful if present. The CAD system records all calls for service that come into the Village. It captures who went to the call, what time, how long there, disposition of the call, etc. Police officers designate a code in CAD for social service calls when they don’t take a report. The data collected and observed experiences during this pilot were analyzed and formed the basis for phase two of the co-responder program, which started on November 1, 2021. Data from the pilot showed the following: • There were 136 total calls identified as “Social Service Calls” in May 2021. • 52 were outside of the Pilot Program’s time of 8:30 am to 9:00 pm. • Of the remaining 84 calls, CIT Officers requested Social workers respond to 20 calls. The primary reason for requesting response in only 20 of the calls was the availability of the Social Worker to respond promptly. • Of the 20 calls, twelve referrals were successfully made and services linked (60%). • Of the 20 calls, 5 individuals (25%) were transported to the hospital for evaluation. 100% of these individuals went voluntarily (no use of force required). • Of the 20 calls, 5 individuals (25%) had repeated contact during the pilot program. Return to Mgr Rpt D  Return to Mgr Rpt MML: 11/15/21 Manager’s Report THIS RESOLUTION MAY BE CITED AS VILLAGE RESOLUTION 21-11-R- A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF COOK WITH FOR THE INVEST IN COOK GRANT FUNDING 1 WHEREAS, the County and the Village are units of government within the meaning of the 2 Constitution of the State of Illinois (1970) Article VII, Section 10, and the Intergovernmental 3 Cooperation Act, 5 ILCS 220/1 et seq.

VOSDOCS-#593009-v1-Master_Plan_Commission_Report_for_2021- 26P_zoning_map_amendment_for_4000_Church_Street_from_TX_to_NX 4  Return to 2021-26P STAFF ANALYSIS All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. The only comments came from the Planning Division, which reviewed the submitted materials and supports the proposed zoning map amendment. Staff requested the zoning change since the NX district doesn’t have a minimum height requirement which would require a second story. Since the building is single-story and is not mixed-use, it would not meet the TX district requirements. Staff recommended the NX district since it serves as a transition from a commercial street to the nearby neighborhoods. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the petitioners’ request to amend the zoning map to change the zoning district for 4000 Church Street from TX Transit Mixed-Use to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use be GRANTED, subject to the attached Proposed Positive Findings of Fact.

Case Description: 2021-26P – Zoning Map Amendment: 4000 Church Street Raffi Arzoumanian of A+C Architects is requesting a zoning map amendment of 4000 Church Street from TX Transit Mixed-Use to NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use. 2021-27P – Site Plan Approval: 4000 Church Street Raffi Arzoumanian of A+C Architects is requesting site plan approval for a 1-story, 5,490 sf building at 4000 Church Street, and any relief discovered during the review of the case. PIN: 10-05-232-029-0000 As both cases are related, they were discussed together but voted on separately. Discussion and Interested Parties Legal notice was advertised, posted, and delivered to all property owners within the area as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. Corporation Counsel determined that notice was proper and correct. Raffi Arzoumanian, architect of record from a+c architects, presented the cases. He provided a brief history of the site. The property was utilized for commercial, retail, and religious uses in the past. The previous owner, KCT congregation, constructed a new building adjacent to the site and proposed a 5-story mixed-use building in its stead reserving 7 parking spaces for synagogue use about 3-4 years ago. Due to the economic situation caused by the pandemic the project is not considered viable and the site has been left vacant. The current proposal is a 1-story commercial building for a dental office with 27 parking spaces provided in addition to the 7 spaces along the alley for the synagogue. The building will be oriented near the intersection of Church Street and Crawford Avenue with parking behind allowing for good exposure from both streets. Landscaping will consist of plantings along both street frontages and calls for the protection of 2 trees on site, the removal of 5 trees, and the installation of 6 new trees to meet Village requirements. The chairman asked how many dentists will occupy the building and asked if the 27 parking spaces will incorporate employee parking as well. Mr. Arzoumanian stated that there will be a single dentist with 3 lab technicians. He has a high-end practice currently located in the Concourse towers on Golf Road. There will be several operatories, a surgical room, and a lab. Staff supports the petition and requested that the reports be entered into the record as presented. There was nothing more to add to the discussion.

PETITIONER’S SUBMITTAL Please find attached the petitioner’s statement describing the proposal. STAFF REVIEW All pertinent departments and divisions were offered an opportunity to comment on this case. The following is a summary of principal aspects of the proposed development: Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as Service Employment which includes wide range of office and retail uses. Since the site will be used for a dental office, the proposal adheres to the Comprehensive Plan. Land Use The proposed land use is a dental office, which is categorized as “clinics and outpatient care services,” and are a permitted use in the NX district. Zoning Requirements The proposed building and improvements adhere to minimum NX zoning district requirements. Bulk requirements include the following: The proposed building height is 21 ft. The maximum building height for buildings in the NX district is 25 ft which can be increased to 45 ft with site plan approval. There is no front yard setback requirement in the NX district. The minimum side yard setback when abutting a residential district is 6 ft, and when abutting a non-residential district, the required side yard setback is either 0 ft or 6 ft. Surface parking spaces are located between the building and the property boundary, placing the building well beyond the 6 ft minimum. The proposed FAR is less than 0.30. The maximum base FAR is 1.40. Building & Site Elements The proposed building is single-story 5,490 square foot dental office building with 27 parking spaces. The building will be built near the corner of the Church & Crawford intersection with parking behind the building. Building Design The Appearance Commission approved the building design at its October 13th meeting. Parking, Access, & Circulation The parking required for a dental office is 5 spaces for every 1,000 sf of floor area. The total number of spaces required is 27 spaces, which is the number provided. There are 7 additional spaces on-site which will be used by the Kehilat Chovevei Tzion synagogue next door. No additional approvals are required since the spaces are surplus and not shared between the two uses.
