2022-2023 Community Development Block Grant Public Hearing #2.
A. FY23 Public Hearing; Proposal Presentations
Davorka Kirincic, Neighorhood Service Manager conducted the Public Hearing.
The Village's entitlement grant for Program Year 2022/FiscaI Year 2023 (PY22/FY23) is
not yet known. At this time, we are estimating $600,000 in entitlement funds. In addition
to the new entitlement, we plan to reprogram previously unallocated funds and program
income from the current program year, while accommodating a reserve of unobligated
funds tha£ could be used for emergency expenses, resulting in a preliminary estimated
PY22/FY23 budget of $607,200. Proposals fi-om both Village staff and outside agencies
total $818,305, so reductions will be necessary. The program's 20% cap for
adminish-ative funding is applied against the new entitlement only, while the 15% cap for
public service funding (non-capitaVnon-construction expenditures) is applied against the
new entitlement plus any program income from the current program year.
Budget recommendations by staff will be presented at the next public hearing on M'onday,
February 7. The Board will determine at that time the proposed funding award for each project
or activity.
Trustee Sutker read a prepared statement,
"I am a Licensed Clinicai Social Worker employed by a social service agency that is an applicant for a CDBG grant.
I do not believe this creates a conflict. However, I believe it is important to avoid the appearance of partiality.
Therefore, I will recuse myself from participating in the discussions relating to the applications and from voting on
the grants. My recusa! from participating in the discussion should not be construed as indifference to the valuable
services that the applicants provide to people in need, I respect and admire all of the agencies for their fine work,
especially during these difficult times with COVID. I thank all the agencies for their work and dedication."

SUBJECT: BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA: PUBLIC HEARING FOR
PROPOSED OLD ORCHARD CENTER BUSINESS DISTRICT
Executive Summary:
As one of the most significant economic drivers in Skokie, it is critical for the Village to help
grow and enhance the viability of the Westfield Old Orchard Shopping Center ("Old Orchard" or
the "Center ) as has been the case historically. Collectively, Old Orchard is the largest sales tax
contributor for the Village and is a significant property tax generator for both Skokie School
District 68 (K-8) as well as Niles Township High School District 219. Furthermore, Old
Orchard has been a significant point of pride for the Village and destination for the region since
the center opened in 1956.
Village staff and ownership from Westfield have been working collaboratively since 2019 to
strategize ways in which to facilitate additional investment at Old Orchard. The goal of this
collaboration is multi-faceted to include increasing overall sales and taxes, as well as expanding
the mix of tenants and services to create a 'best in class experience for visitors and customers.
Westfleld has maintained that extraordinarily high property taxes have and continue to be the key
impediment which has and continues to discourage significant capital investment in the Center.
In fact. Old Orchard continues to have the highest property tax burden levied in the Westfield
portfolio globally. The property tax burden at Old Orchard accounts for 38% of tenant revenue
which is significantly higher than the national industry average of 12%.
Efforts to change how the Center is taxed and classified by the Cook County Assessor have not
been successful and will likely take years for consideration, if at all. To free up the capital
investment required by Westfield to accomplish our mutually beneficial goals, Village staff is
proposing a two-pronged approach which will immediately help to stabilize and grow this
important asset. The timing of the effort articulated in this memorandum is critically
important as a result of the rapidly changing retail landscape combined with regional
opportunities from the demise of other centers exacerbated by COVID. As such, Old
Orchard sits at the precipice of a generational opportunity to become one of the top 5 regional
centers in the U.S.

Over the past two years, Westfield has requested several types of public assistance from Cook
County and, more recently, from the Village ofSkokie. In response, on December 6, 2021, the
Village Board approved a resolution to support a Cook County Class 7b Real Estate Tax
Incentive for the vacant Lord & Taylor (L&T) property. Since that time, the resolution of
support and formal application was filed with the Cook County Assessor by Westfield to
consider the request. The second request for assistance is the formation of a Business District
(BD) for the entire Center, which would be duly established in accordance with the Illinois
Business District Development and Redevelopment statute.
As represented in several formal statements by Westfield leadership, the company intends to
stabilize the L&T property with a $27 million investment utilizing the 7b and anticipated
revenues from the proposed Business District. Westfield has confmned that this investment will
not occur but for the above assistance because the financial returns do not meet the minimum
requirements for Westfield.
In addition to supporting the 7b application for the L&T property, staff also supports WestfielcTs
request to designate the entire mall area as the Old Orchard Center Business District. By doing
so, this local tool will finance and facilitate development and redevelopment of the remainder of
the Center to attract new and retain existing retail and restaurants to this important Village
property, sales tax generator and employment center. The establishment of the Village's 2nd duly
authorized Business District (the first being the East Industrial Business Redevelopment District
approved in 2005) will enable Westfield to utilize funds generated from the planned additional
1% sales tax on retail and services to cover the costs of rehabilitation, new construction, site
preparation, access and infrastructure and soft costs related to their substantial investment
commitment to Old Orchard.
A Resolution proposing the designation of a Business District, the approval of a draft BD Plan
and the scheduling of a public hearing in connection with the District and Plan was also
considered and approved by the Board on December 6, 202 1. Per state statute, a public hearing
has been set for Monday, January 18, 2022. The required Notices of Public Hearing for the
proposed Business District were published in the Suburban Tribune on December 23, 2021 and
on January 6, 2022 and a copy of the proposed BD Plan has been in the Village Clerk's Office
for public review since December 21, 2021. Following the Public Hearing, the proposed
adoption of the ordinances establishing the Business District, approving the BD Plan and
imposing the Retailer's and Occupation taxes will occur on a subsequent date. If approved, said
ordinances would then be filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue prior to April 1, 2022.
If approved, the Business District will facilitate an_additiQnal $80 Million investment by
West field at Old Orchard.
Old Orchard Center Business District Designation and Background:
The Illinois Business District Development and Redevelopment Act authorizes Illinois
municipalities to designate an area within the municipality as a specialized district designed
to promote certain development or redevelopment of property within the boundaries. This
widely utilized tool (there are currently almost 230 such Districts operating state-wide) is a
2 of 4

method of facilitating development or redevelopment of certain commercial areas, in part,
by utilizing separate service occupation and Illinois retailers' occupation that are generated
in those areas to pay for necessary public improvements and other eligible project costs. A
Business District must be a contiguous area (Le., the properties within the area border each
other) and include only tax parcels of real property that will directly and substantially
benefit from the proposed plan. To impose additional taxes on a business district, the area
must be blighted, as defined in the Act.
The proposed Old Orchard Center Business District is comprised of over 1.7 million square
feet of commercial development that includes large retailers such as Macy's, Nordstrom,
and Bloomingdale's. Other uses include national chain and smaller independent retailers,
restaurants, offices, open areas, recreation, and entertainment uses. Old Orchard originally
opened in 1956 (making it 65 years old) with Marshall Field's, the Fair Department Store
(later named Montgomery Wards), along with an office tower, which stands today. Various
additions were constructed and redeveloped since that time. The North and West parking
garages were constructed in 1978. As retailers and mall operators struggled in the late 1980s
and 1990s, so did Old Orchard. In 1991, new ownership implemented a major investment in
the Center which included the demolition of the then vacant Montgomery Ward store to
make room for a 200,000 square foot Nordstrom store as well as 100,000 square feet for the
addition of 62 new stores, and the relocation and expansion of Lord & Taylor, which opened
in 1993. While the Nordstrom store opened in 1994, the formal reopening of the Center took
place in 1995 with the opening of Bloomingdale s, Bames & Noble Booksellers, the five-
story parking garage, and movie theaters. Since 1995, the Center experienced a modest
renovation in 2007. Westfield acquired Old Orchard in 2002, and then merged with URW
in 2018. Since 2007, no significant investment has occurred within the Center.
As previously noted, the Center is beginning to experience larger and longer vacancies due
to current retail market trends and the obsolete design of the Center. The former L&T
building vacancy has already been noted and the former McCormick & Schmick's and The
Bagel restaurants (which both closed in 2018) have experienced similar historic re-tenanting
problems. In addition to the overall age factor, excessive vacancies and functional and
economic obsolescence associated with the Center, Westfield has also provided evidence
confirming deterioration of interior and exterior site improvements due to deferred capital
investment throughout the Center, and an overall decline in Equalized Assessed Valuation
(EAV) when compared to growth in EAV for the Village as a whole.
The property tax burden in Cook County has long created an undue cost burden on the
Center, as evidenced by the inability to fill these major vacancies. As a measure of the tax
burden, Westfield compares property tax expense as a percentage of tenant occupancy costs.
For the Center (pre-COVID), this percentage stood at approximately 38 percent, which is
not only the highest rate but also three times the average for all domestic flagship properties
in the WestfielcTs portfolio. Further, using the International Council of Shopping Centers
(ICSC) pre-COVID data, the average percentage of this measure is approximately 12
percent for all retail shopping centers in the ICSC US database. According to Westfield,
this high cost substantially constrains the amount of leasing capital (i.e. tenant improvement
allowances) that is made available to improve the property and make the capital investments
required to secure new tenants in the Center.

Return to Agenda
In September 2021, the Village received a formal request by Westfield (the principal
landowner apart from several parcels owned by Macy's) that to offset the high-cost property
tax burden at the Center, the creation of a Business District should be considered. This
consideration was solidified following months of review and negotiations, and the receipt of
an outside sales tax sensitivity study conducted by Gruen Omen + Associates
(commissioned by Westfield) which evaluated potential effects of a 1 % increase of sales
tax on the Center. The study concluded that a 1% increase in sales taxes will not have a
discemable adverse impact on sales for the Center (see attached executive summary).
Village staff has concluded that the existing Old Orchard Shopping Center, generally
bounded by Old Orchard Road to the north, Golf Road to the south, Lawler Avenue to the
west, and Skokie Boulevard to the east, is an appropriate site for a proposed Business
District. The area is graphically depicted in the attached BD draft plan and map.
The Old Orchard Center Business District Plan has been developed in conjunction with
Westfield and is an important step to partner together to strategically maintain and grow
retail and commercial users in the Village, solidify Old Orchard as the premier shopping
destination on the North Shore, grow the sales tax base, increase visitors from outside the
Village, and grow its standing as one of the largest employers in the community. Given
recent market trends affecting retail trade, as well as the negative trends toward brick-and-
mortar retail, the Village believes additional support including the establishment of a
Business District is required to promote and accelerate redevelopment efforts of Old
Orchard and enhance economic growth in the Village.
The Economic Development staff supports the request of Old Orchard Urban Limited
Partnership for the formation of a Business District for the Center. We will respectfully
recommend Board approval of the designation of the proposed Old Orchard Center Business
District following the public hearing during the February Village Board Meetings. Thank you.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Backeround
The Village ofSkokie, Illinois (the "Village") was incorporated in 1 888 as "Niles Centre" and later
renamed the Village of Skokie in 1940. It grew rapidly during the post-war era and reached a
population of 69,432 by 1990. Since that time and according to the U.S. Census Bureau, growth
has tapered off with population levels reaching 64,784 m 2010. To^ay, the Village is a community
of approximately 66,700 residents (per the 2020 Census), hav||||§|i'own by approximately three
percent (3 %) over the past decade. Skokie is in Cook Coun^^^lnbis, and situated approximately

Skokie is also the home of Westfield Old Orchard ("Old Orchard" or the "Center") which is one
of the country's first outdoor shopping centers and is currently the third largest mail by total square
footage (1.7 million square feet) in Illinois. Old Orchard is the largest contributor to the sales tax
base of the Village and to the property tax base of other various taxing bodies within Skokie. Old
Orchard is anchored by several national department stores and home to multiple restaurants,
specialty retailers, boutique shops, and other entertainment verg||i, with a current total of 140
tenants. Additionally, Old Orchard is home to an 89,000 'eet multi-tenant professional
office building which includes corporate and medical offi^

C. The Powers of the VUlage
The Business District Act authorizes Illinois municipalities to designate an area within the
municipality as a business district to promote economic development. To institute a business
district, the municipality must establish a business district plan approved by the corporate
authorities of the municipality after a public hearing. In accordance with the Business District Act,
the Village may exercise the following powers in carrying out a business district development plan

ownership implemented a major investment in the Center which included the demolition of a
vacant Montgomery Ward store to make room for a 200,000 square foot Nordstrom store as well
as 100,000 square feet for the addition of 62 new stores, and the relocation and expansion of Lord
& Taylor, which opened in 1993. While the Nordstrom store opened in I 994, the formal reopening
of the Center took place in 1995, with the opening of Bloomingdale's, Bames & Noble
Booksellers, tile five-story parking garage, and movie theaters. The Developer acquired an interest
in the Center in 2002 and there was an additional renovation project in 2007. Westfield merged
with Unibail-Rodamco in 2018. Since 2007, no significant investment has occurred within the
Center.
The Center is beginning to experience larger vacancies duf^gBSBTent retail market trends and the
obsolete design of the Center. For example, the 1 l6,8Q^^p^^^t Lord & Taylor store closed

infrastructure to support tK^llpfer, such as the existing easements, public right-of-ways, ingress/egress
points, and retention areas were constructed to support these large tax parcels. To support additional
growth and development within the Center, these items may require a subdivision which is more
consistent with current market standards. Such subdivision may be complicated by the deficiencies in
these elements and may require further coordination with new improvements to align to future uses
within the Business District. Other specific observations that may be considered as impediments to
implementing the Plan, are detailed in the following observations:
Page 11 of 23
Return to Westfield
• Redevelopment of the property in lots or blocks which reflect the current property description
boundaries may not be feasible unless modifications occur. The existing platting has not
addressed the need for multiple uses within larger lots, cross-connections to neighboring
parcels, and a review of access to adjacent major and secondary arterials based on new uses
may require evaluation.
• The limited access points and roadways may require reconstruction or reconfiguration as new
uses and re-development occurs within the Center. This may require a plat of subdivision that
accommodates linkages between the various parcels as ]rf|if a unified plan for redevelopment

each tenant will ^®lvl2BSto site requirements, the Developer has not made investments
in the property sinc^yiS. The fact that both of these properties have remained vacant
over the past three plus years is quite noticeable given the appearance and deterioration of
the exterior of both sites.
• Office Tower; The office tower (89,000 square feet.), which dates back to the original
construction of the Center, is over 60 years old. While this building serves as the beacon of
the Center, due to its age, the facade of this structure requires significant improvement and
is m a state of deterioration. Further, through visual examination, deterioration is present
in the interior of the property with various examples of cracked tiling and other flooring

renovation.
Surface Lot / Parkme Structures: Throughout the surface parking areas and the parking
structures, numerous examples of deterioration are present. Visual mspection revealed
weeds protruding through surface improvements, potholes, and surface cracking
throughout the property. Further, the parking structures had several areas of cracked
concrete, chipping paint on doors and walls, rust, algae appearing to grow on overhangs,
and outdated elevators which require renovation.
• Public Restrooms: The Center has three public rest [that have not been updated since
construction and have suffered significant deterioE| |i8|gyime, however capital has only

Age of Structures
The Center was originally built in 1956, and various additions were constructed and redeveloped
between 1956 and 1991. During this time, two major construction projects were implemented at
the Center: 1) the North and West parking garages were constructed in 1978; 2) in 1991, Old
Orchard expanded and remodeled allowing for the addition of 62 new stores. When evaluating the
Center in its entirety, the age of structures is as follows:

has not filled the vacanc!|g|yfi|ffiiy of the reasons detailed in this section of the Plan. These two
significant vacancies suppdr|pe finding that the Center has not been subject to private growth and
development.
While it is necessary to attract major new tenants, it is also vital to retain existing tenants to avoid
future vacancies. Retailers are closely examining their footprint and the Center needs to remain
competitive to retain the long-standing, reliable retailers currently on site.
Page 14 of 23
Return to Westfield
Obsolete Design
The Developer has indicated that the Center was state-of-the-art when originally constructed in
1956. However, when considering more contemporary and modem design, in today's standards,
the Center is not ideal for a modem outdoor shopping destination. Based on interviews with the
Developer's executive representatives, the Developer believes that the Center is not attractive to
many tenants for several reasons. To begin with, the common area spaces are considered very
antiquated when compared to other more modem centers in the market. As an example, some of
the common area surrounded by small retail shops is covered b^H|jpw canopy which limits light
and the exterior attractiveness of the retail in this area of the^Hiler. This limits the amount of
natural light that is prevalent for shoppers which is not coasiiHt with how modem facilities are
constructed. The Developer has indicated that, given tli||g|M||^onomic conditions prevalent,
it has deferred updating this area of the Center asJt^Wtake1i||gnificant amount of capital
investment to redesign the area.
In order to attract luxury retailers, big box, an^ 3,er users which shoppHIHIesire given current
tastes and preferences, tenants expect visibility ^ muitipl^ngles acro'S^tie development,

Declininiyi^es & Proper! Revc
Declining ecdligyc viability v^|||n the B^ness District represents an economic liability to the
Village and its reMJtos. As an |i|mp^e?
[^§
the closure of the Lord & Taylor space, along with the
inability to find a r^^^ment tH§^t) is an indicator of the financial stress currently impacting
brick-and-mortar retaiIllj|^Thjl|l|§sure, as well as other economic and public health conditions,
has contributed to an overSljSllpfte in sales volume, which has a negative impact on the generation
of sales and property tax dolllis for the Village and the other taxing jurisdictions. The Center is
the largest property tax contributor to the Village, as well as Skokie School District 68 and Niles
Township Community High School District 219. Given the state of the sales tax revenue, along
with the value of the Center from a property tax perspective and the inability to maintain and
expand the current level of tax collections, major capital investments are required. Should the
Center continue at its current levels, it is likely that the tax base may continue to shrink, and the
net result would be a significant impact to the Village and school district budgets given the
percentage of the respective budgets made from revenue generated from the Center.
Page 15 of 23

The following tables illustrate that the economic value of the Center has remained relatively flat
over the past five years, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of growth in economic
conditions at the Center represents an economic liability for both the community and the property
owners. The tables below represent sales tax and property tax generated by the properties within
the business district over the past five years.

of the COVID-19 pandemi:|||pfact, in just one year the sales tax decline was approximately 35
percent (35%) and the property tax reduction was approximately eight percent (8%). Further, the
pandemic is anticipated to have a lasting impact on the brick-and-mortar retail industry. In fact,
through the first six months of 2021, the end of year sales are expected to be approximately 80
percent (80%) of the pre-pandemic levels. This decline translates to reduced tax collections by the
Village and the other relevant taxing districts. Given the importance of tax collections to the
Village and other taxing districts, the possibility of allowing the Center to continue to decline may
adversely impact future government and other taxing district services.
Page 16 of 23

Lack of Growth & Development
As previously mentioned in the Plan, the last accretive investment made at the Center wifhm the
proposed Business District was made in 1991, by a previous owner. This investment included the
construction of the expansion that was the former Lord & Taylor location. Since 1991, the Center
has received modest renovation investment, but the primary reason for capital investment in the
Center has historically been maintenance capital with the exception of a cosmetic improvement in
the common area and addition of a children's play area in 2012. With retail, opportunities for
expansion and investment are driven by sales resulting from a^^ties within the property. As
detailed in Table 2.0, sales have been relatively flat over the ||g|p;ar period and experienced its
biggest decline in year five. Coupled with the high prope.^^^burden, the Developer is unable
to invest the capital required to grow sales within the| all of these reasons, the
Developer has deferred several capital projects such^T provements, parking deck
enhancements, restroom refreshes, and elevator in^Hlgp IQ. make such investments
limits the ability to attract more customers and myFquality tenants.
In various places within this Plan, the high proUlfc tax bui^n is refer<3S81iEL as a barrier to

shopping destination on CBiggP's North Shore. Due to the distress of other regional shopping
centers in trade area, a unique opportunity exists to implement a real estate and marketing strategy
to consolidate retail in the North Shore trade area. The Developer's multi-faceted plan involves
various improvements to optimize the tenant mix within the Center, prevent future and remove
existing vacancies, and improve the customer and shopping experience. As part of this strategy to
optimize the tenant mix, the Developer is considering strategic investments designed to attract
tenants in the following major areas: luxury, health and wellness, improved dining experiences,
investments in arts & culture, and entertainment experiences. Such investments are designed to
achieve these goals and enhance the tax base available to the Village and other taxing districts. If

the Project is fully implemented, along with other strategic investments, the Developer's goal
is to grow retail sales at the Center from its pre-COVID average of approximately $500
million to over $1 billion during the life of the Business District
To support the Project and assist with implementation of the strategy, the Village intends to enter
into an agreement with the Developer to provide certain public and private improvements in the
Business District to enhance the immediate area and to serve the needs of development. Such
projects may include, but are not limited to, the following items:
• Improvements to the Center, including but not Umite<j|||||Bch items as building systems

John T. Lockerby, Village Manager
DATE: January 13, 2022
SUBJECT: MANAGER’S REPORT
BOARD MEETING OF TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2022
* A. Gross Point Road (Old Orchard Road to Golf Road) Reconstruction Phase II
and Phase III Engineering Services and Agreements.
The Gross Point Road (Old Orchard Road to Golf Road) Reconstruction project is
ready to continue into Phase II and Phase III. The requested action involves
execution of Engineering Services Agreements with TranSystems Corporation
and Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. I agree with staff’s recommendation
and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval of the following:
1. Approval of the Resolution authorizing the execution of the Supplemental
Local Public Agency Amendment for Federal Participation with the State of
Illinois.
2. Approval of the Resolution authorizing execution of the Supplemental Local
Public Agency Engineering Services Agreement related to Phase II
Engineering Services with TranSystems Corporation for the Gross Point Road
Reconstruction (Old Orchard Road to Golf Road) in the amount not to exceed
$88,475.
3. Approval of the Resolution authorizing execution of the Local Public Agency
Engineering Services Agreement related to Phase III Engineering Services
with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd in the not to exceed amount of
$529,942.
4. Approval of the Resolution authorizing the execution of the Local Public
Agency Agreement for Federal Participation with the State of Illinois.
5. Approval of the Resolution authorizing the Jurisdictional Transfer of the
subject roadway segment.
6. Approval of the prepared Ordinance adding the transferred section of Gross
Point Road to the Village’s street network.
* B. Employee Benefit Consulting Services - The Horton Group, Orland Park,
Illinois - $65,520.
The Village is seeking to engage an Employee Benefits Consultant to assist the
Village in evaluating, designing and/or modifying the existing self-insured medical
and dental insurance benefit plan provisions. Once the benefit review is
completed, the consultant will conduct a market study of network providers and
claims administrators and solicit bids from various insurance companies. Of the
three finalists interviewed, The Horton Group provided the most concise and
594566
Return to Agenda
comprehensive approach at the most competitive cost. The Horton Group’s core
employee benefit services consist of financial and wellness advice, benefit plan
compliance, data analytics, employee communications and HR support. I concur
with staff’s recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval
to enter into a contract for Employee Consulting Services in a not to exceed
amount of $65,520 with The Horton Group.
* C. Maintenance Contract for Traffic Signals & Street Lighting for 2022 – H&H
Electric, Franklin Park, Illinois - $82,382.52.
Two bids were received for the 2022 calendar year maintenance of 15 traffic
signals and 1,591 street lights in the Village of Skokie. This project utilizes MFT
funds, which are included in the pending 2022 MFT Municipal Maintenance
Resolution. Therefore, it is recommended that a contract be awarded to H&H
Electric, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of
$82,382.52 with provisions for one-year renewal periods up to and including 2024.
H&H Electric has successfully provided the services under this contract for the
past three years. I concur with staff’s recommendation and respectfully request
Mayor and Board approval.
* D. Tower Ladder Purchase Fleet #109/TL18 – Pierce Manufacturing/Macqueen
Emergency, Aurora, Illinois - $1,449,361.
The FY22 and FY23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget provides for the
replacement of a 1995 Tower Ladder. The current unit is being replaced based
upon recommendation from Fire Department staff and the Automotive
Superintendent due to the age of the unit, mileage and life expectancy. It is
recommended that a contract in the amount of $1,449,361 be awarded to
Macqueen Emergency, which the Village has previously worked with and
purchased vehicles manufactured by Pierce in the past with positive results. The
awarded amount includes the pre-pay discount of $47,639 if paid before February
1, 2022, resulting in a contract price of $1,449,361. Ordering the apparatus before
February 1 also avoids a 7% price increase (a 5% across the board increase in
2022 and a 2% metal surcharge). I concur with staff’s recommendation and
respectfully request Mayor and Board approval of this contract.

Engineering Division A
Memo to: John^. J^ockerljy, Village Manager
From:
Russ Rietveld, Director of Engineering
Date: January 10,2022
Subject: AGENDA ITEM
Gross Point Road Reconstruction (Old Orchard Road to Golf Road):
Phase H
a.) Execution of Supplemental Engineering Agreement with TranSystems
Corporation for Phase II Engineering Services
Phase m
b.) Execution of Engineering Agreement with Christopher B. Burke
Engineering, Ltd. For Phase ffl Engineering Services
c.) Execution of Local Public Agency Agreement for Federal Participation
d.) Execution of Local Public Agency Jurisdictional Transfer Agreement
The Village of Skokie has received Federal Surface Transportation, Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality (CMAQ) and State funds towards the improvement of Gross Point Road (Old Orchard Road to
Golf Road). The geometry of the road will remain one lane in each direction, but this project will
reconstruct the subject roadway and traffic signal at Old Orchard Road. The project will also install a
storm water control system, curb and gutter, bike lanes, sidewalk and parking lanes. This section of
roadway will be Jurisdictionally Transferred to the Village upon completion of the project. The design
phase has been completed and the construction phase will begin later this year. This memo pertains to
both the design and construction phases.
Preliminary design approval was obtained in 2012 and Phase II design began in 2017. Due to delays in
obtaining necessary State approvals and securing necessary funding, the design phase took longer than
initially anticipated and design costs increased. This requires supplemental engineering agreements
with respect to the design phase. It also means the previous construction cost estimates are outdated
and the funding secured to date to cover those costs are insufficient. I am pleased to report the Village
was successful in obtaining increased funding commitments from the Federal Surface Transportation
Program and the State. In addition, the Village obtained new funding though the Coronavirus Response
and Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act. These new and increased funding commitments amount to
over one million dollars and mean the Village financial commitment to the project does not increase
due to the delays.
As was the case with design services, the Village will initially pay for construction observation services
and be reimbursed by the State after the fact. It is recommended that the Village utilize the services of
Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. This firm was selected after a Qualification Based Selection
process was utilized. A request for qualifications was advertised by the Village. All of the submitted
proposals were analyzed and scored by staff. The top firms were then interviewed. Christopher Burke
was the top firm for this project. The scope and fee were negotiated and agreed upon.
As a result, I recommend that the Village execute the resolutions to approve the Supplemental Local
Public Agency Agreement for Federal Participation with the State of Illinois, the Supplemental
Engineering Services Agreement with TranSystems Corporation, the Engineering Services Agreement
with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd., the Local Public Agency Agreement for Federal
Participation with respect to Phase III and the Local Public Agency Jurisdictional Transfer Agreement.
This requires:

levels, deductibles and out of pocket maximums; and components included in the total cost (i.e. claims
experience, claims trends, administrative, network access and prescription drug fees). Once the benefit
review is completed, the consultant will conduct a market study of network providers and claims
administrators and solicit bids from various insurance companies. The consultant will provide a written
report of all findings and will present their recommendations. The consultant will also assist in the
benefit(s) plan implementation process If a different vendor is chosen.

resources they provide is the employee benefit portal. Employee Navigator. This robust benefits, HR,
and compliance software tool represents a ready-resource for managing benefits administration from new

Tower-Ladder Purchase Fleet #109/TL18 Pierce Ascendanf Tower Ladder
Pricing for the subject item was obtained competitively through the Sourcewell Consortium
Pricing Joint Government Purchasing Program. The Village is an active member of the
Sourcewell Consortium Pricing Program and has purchased equipment through the program in
the past. The Village also maintains a membership with the Northwest Municipal Conference.
However, recent competitive bidding through the Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) did
not include the type and style of chassis specified by the Village. The chassis selected by the
Village will provide improved durability, functionality, safety and dependability. Additionally,
purchasing through the HGAC doesn't require payment of an administrative fee typically
associated with NWMC purchases.

manufacturing of an Ascendant 100' Tower-Ladder. The awarded amount includes the pre-pay
discount of $47,639.00 if paid before February 1, 2022, resulting in a contract price of

across the board increase in 2022 and 2% metal surcharge). The contract price includes a
Performance Bond that was secured due to the long lead for manufacturing. The remaining
budgeted amount would be utilized for apparatus striping, radio installation, and essential
equipment that cannot be relocated from the current truck,
Comments:
The Capital Improvement Plan provided $750,000 in the FY2022 and established an additional
$700,000 in the FY2023 Budget for a total of $ 1.5 million for the purchase of a new Tower
Ladder. The new fire apparatus is anticipated to take 18 - 22 months to build and would replace
Tower Ladderl7R which was purchased in 1995. Upon completion, the Tower Ladder (TL18)
will be placed in service at Station 18 and the existing truck purchased in 2001 will be placed in
reserve as Truck 17R. This will provide the Village a reliable replacement when either of the
front-line fire apparatus are being serviced by the Automotive Division.
The current unit is being replaced at the recommendation of Fire Department staff and the
Automotive Superintendent based on the age of the unit, mileage and life expectancy. The new
unit will be equipped with advanced safety technology and will be fully compliant with the
National Fire Protection Association Standard 1901 - Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus.
The Fire Department Apparatus Committee has been evaluating numerous manufacturers and
types of aerial fire apparatus over the past year in preparation for this purchase. Several
apparatus demos were assessed by the committee and Automotive Division. Having carefully
reviewed the needs of the community, a strong recommendation was made for the purchase of a
mid-mount aerial apparatus with a tower/ladder basket. The Pierce Ascendant Mid-Mount
Tower Ladder provides more maneuverability, increased versatility and efficiency in operations,
and improves safety. The mid-mount apparatus is shorter in length and height, lighter, has a
better turning radius which will greatly improve the Fire Department's ability to access and
function in the numerous multi-family complexes located in Station 18's response district.
Additionally, the 100 Tower Ladder with a basket will provide the safest and most effective
method for rescuing civilians from upper floors of a building.
The unit will be custom built with an approximate nineteen (19) month build time by Pierce
Manufacturing on an Enforcer chassis. The new chassis offers economic value, high safety
standards and features, improved reliability and serviceability. All department specifications
have been incorporated into the chassis and body, keeping with consistent standardization of our
existing fleet. Fire Department staff and the Automotive Superintendent have reviewed the build
specifications and are confident that the unit bid by Macqueen Emergency will provide
outstanding performance for our applications. The Village has previously worked with and
purchased vehicles manufactured by Pierce, and the overall experience has been extremely
positive.

5050 Mulford Street, Skokie, Illinois. The property owner, Wintrust Bank, petitioned the
Village of Skokie to reclassify the zoning of the property from an R2 Single-Famjly district to
an NX Neighborhood Mixed-Use district. Wintrust desires to construct additional parking for
the adjacent bank in the NX zoning district. It was determined that this stand-alone triangular
lot is better suited with the adjacent commercial use. The eventual incorporation of the site
to commercial zoning was contemplated with the original special use that was granted in
2001.
*B. Ordinance, 2021-16P, Alley Vacation, 7800 Lincoln Avenue and 5050 Mulford Street
Item B is on the consent agenda for second reading and adoption. The first reading was

alley located within a triangle shaped piece of property belonging to Wintrust. Wintrust will use
this property to expand its existing parking lot. This special use permit incudes a new site plan
accounting for the expanded parking area modification. The current special use permit for
the site, Ordinance Number 02-2-Z-3066, will be repealed in order to allow for a new special
use permit with a new site plan accounting for the expanded parking area modification. Also,

7 LOTS 1 TO 7, BOTH INCLUSIVE IN BLOCK 3 IN NILES CENTER TERRACE, A

12 1. At or near the time of execution of this Agreement, the VILLAGE granted an
13 Occupancy Permit, Business License, Site Plan Approval or Special Use Permit
14 hereinafter collectively referred to as “permit” pursuant to state statutes and local
15 ordinances.
16 2. By the terms of the aforesaid permit, the PROPERTY OWNER is required to install
17 and maintain landscaping in accordance with the plan dated January 22, 2021,
18 or as it may be subsequently revised with the approval of the Village Manager, or
19 designee, and the Corporation Counsel.
20 3. The parties to this Agreement recognize that the installation and maintenance of
21 landscaping is an integral part of the PROPERTY OWNER's plan for development
22 and/or use of the property and is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the
23 VILLAGE's land use objectives, and that the permit would not have been approved
24 by the VILLAGE without the assurance that this Agreement would be executed by the
25 PROPERTY OWNER.
26 4. The purpose of this Agreement is to assure:
27 (a) installation of the landscaping in accordance with the landscaping plan
28 approved by the VILLAGE, and
29 (b) continued maintenance and care of the landscaping, including any
30 landscaping indicated in the parkway area.

1 the Landscape Plan attached hereto, marked Exhibit “1” and are hereby made a part
2 of this Agreement.
3 6. PROPERTY OWNER agrees that the installation and maintenance of the landscaping
4 which is required in accordance with the permit issued by the VILLAGE and this
5 Agreement will materially benefit the Subject Property. Such landscaping is
6 necessary in order for the PROPERTY OWNER to comply with the conditions of the
7 permit issued or granted by the VILLAGE for the PROPERTY OWNER’s requested
8 development or use of the property.
9 7. PROPERTY OWNER shall diligently maintain and care for the landscaping which is
10 installed and required by the permit and this Agreement, using generally accepted
11 methods of cultivation and watering. The PROPERTY OWNER shall maintain a
12 standard of care necessary to prevent the landscaping from deteriorating to the extent
13 that its value as landscaping is destroyed. If Exhibit “1”, attached hereto or permit
14 specifies maintenance standards or procedures, such procedures are hereby adopted
15 as part of this Agreement, and by such adoption, become enforcement conditions of
16 this Agreement.
17 8. Failure to maintain the landscaping as required by this Agreement shall be a
18 nuisance. In the event the PROPERTY OWNER fails to meet the standard of
19 maintenance necessary to keep the landscaping in a healthy condition as required by
20 this Agreement, the VILLAGE shall give written notice of the deficiency to the
21 PROPERTY OWNER who shall have 20 days to make the necessary correction or
22 replacement. If such correction or replacement is not made within the aforesaid 20-
23 day period, the VILLAGE may elect to abate the nuisance and take necessary action
24 to assure that the landscaping is replaced and/or maintained. In the event, the
25 VILLAGE so elects; the VILLAGE shall serve notice of its intent to enter the premises
26 for this purpose. The VILLAGE shall either personally serve the notice upon the
27 PROPERTY OWNER or mail a copy of it by certified mail to the PROPERTY
28 OWNER's last known address, or as shown on the tax rolls, at least 15 days in
29 advance of the date when the VILLAGE or its agent intends to enter the premises.
30 9. For this purpose, the VILLAGE or its agent may enter upon the property and perform
31 such work as it considers reasonably necessary and proper to restore, maintain, or
32 replace the landscaping required by this Agreement. The VILLAGE may act either
33 through its own employees or through an independent contractor.
34 10. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to reimbursement for abating the nuisance in
35 restoring, maintaining or replacing the landscaping, provided that the VILLAGE
36 follows the procedures set forth in this Agreement. Costs shall include but shall not
37 be limited to actual costs incurred by the VILLAGE and administrative costs. The
38 VILLAGE shall make demand upon the PROPERTY OWNER for payment. If the
39 PROPERTY OWNER fails to pay the costs within 30 days of the date on which
40 demand is made, the VILLAGE may cause a lien to be placed on the Subject
41 Property. The VILLAGE may record a notice with the Recorder of Deeds for Cook
42 County stating that it has incurred expenses under the terms this Landscape
43 Agreement. The VILLAGE shall be entitled to collect interest at the statutory rate on
44 the amount owed.

2 a legal action to collect the amount owed. The PROPERTY OWNER agrees to pay
3 the VILLAGE a reasonable sum for attorney's fees and court costs.
4 12. If either party upon the execution of this Agreement or during the course of
5 performance considers that it is necessary to have the PROPERTY OWNER post
6 additional security to guarantee the performance of his obligations hereunder, the
7 VILLAGE may require the PROPERTY OWNER to post additional security. The
8 VILLAGE may require either a cash deposit or a surety bond guaranteeing
