AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made and entered into by and between the Village of Skokie (hereinafter
referred to as the “Village”) and Skokie Firefighters Local 3033, International Association of Fire
Fighters (IAFF) (hereinafter referred to as the “Union”).
It is the intent and purpose of this Agreement to set forth the parties’ agreement with respect
to the rates of pay, hours of employment, fringe benefits, and other conditions of employment that
will be in effect during the term of this Agreement for employees covered by this Agreement; to
prevent interruptions of work and interference with the operations of the Village; to encourage and
improve efficiency and productivity; and to provide procedures for the prompt and peaceful
adjustment of grievances as provided herein.
Now, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
Return to Mgr Rpt
ARTICLE I
RECOGNITION AND REPRESENTATION
The Village recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining representative for
all sworn full-time firefighters and fire lieutenants (including firefighters and fire lieutenants
assigned as paramedics), but excluding all sworn firefighters in the ranks of Fire Chief, Deputy
Chief, the EMS coordinator, the Training Officer, any employees excluded from the definition of
“firefighter” as defined in Section 3 (g) (1) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, and all other
managerial, supervisory, confidential and professional employees as defined by the Act, as
amended.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Return to Mgr Rpt
ARTICLE II
NON-DISCRIMINATION
Section 2.1. Generally. In accordance with applicable law, neither the Village nor the
Union shall discriminate against any employee covered by this Agreement because of race, sex,
age, religion, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status (including civil union)
or Union membership or non-membership. Any dispute concerning the interpretation and
application of this paragraph shall be processed through the appropriate federal or state agency or
court rather than through the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement. The term “civil
union” and “civil union partner” as used in this paragraph and elsewhere in this Agreement shall
be defined in accordance with the Illinois Religious Protection and Civil Union Act, 750 ILCS
75/1 et. seq.
Section 2.2. Americans with Disabilities Act. The parties agree that the Village has
the right to take any actions necessary to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Nothing herein is intended to preclude the Union from grieving or arbitrating any Village
action which, in its view, violates the Agreement and is unnecessary in order to comply with such
Act.
If the Village is considering action to comply with the ADA that would violate any
provision of this Agreement, the Village shall provide the Union with reasonable notice of the
proposed action and shall, if requested, meet with the Union to discuss the matter before taking
any such action.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Return to Mgr Rpt
ARTICLE III
DUES CHECKOFF AND UNION RIGHTS
Section 3.1. Dues Check-Off. The Village will deduct from each employee’s first two
(2) paychecks each month the uniform, regular semi-monthly Union dues for each employee in the
bargaining unit who has filed with the Village a lawfully written authorization form. Such
authorizations may only be revoked in writing between ninety (90) days and forty-five (45) days
prior to the termination date set forth in Section 25.1 of Article XXV of this Agreement.
The actual dues amount deducted, as determined by the Union, shall be uniform for each
employee in order to ease the Village’s burden in administering this provision. The Union may
change the fixed uniform dollar amount once each year during the life of this Agreement by giving
the Village at least thirty (30) days’ notice of any change in the amount of the uniform dues to be
deducted. The Village shall remit the total amount of the dues deducted each month, together with
a list of the employees from whom dues have been deducted, to the person designated by the Union
not later than fifteen (15) days after the issuance of the second paycheck each month.
If an employee has no earnings or insufficient earnings to cover the amount of the dues
deduction, the Union shall be responsible for collection of dues. The Union agrees to refund to
the employee any amounts paid to the Union in error on account of this dues deduction provision.
The Village agrees that it will not deduct dues for any other labor organization for any
employees covered by this Agreement.
Section 3.2. Fair Share. In Janus v. AFSCME, 138 S. Ct. 2448 (2018), the Supreme
Court held that fair share clauses, such as that contained in Article III, Section 3.2 of the 2018-
2021 bargaining agreement, are unconstitutional. Local 3033 and the Village agree to strike the
former Article III, Section 3.2 in its entirety, and re-number the remaining Sections accordingly.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
4
Return to Mgr Rpt
Section 3.3. However, in the event the United States Supreme Court decides that fair
share fee deductions are not deemed unconstitutional, Local 3033 and the Village agree to reinstate
and re-incorporate Article III, Section 3.2, as it appeared in the Parties’ 2018-2021 collective
bargaining agreement, into the collective bargaining agreement in effect, or that is being
negotiated, at the time the law changes. Indemnification. The Union shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Village, its elected representatives, officers, administrators, agents and employees
from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of liability
(monetary or otherwise) that arise out of or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the
Village for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this Article, or in reliance on any
written checkoff authorization furnished under any of such provisions. This indemnification
provision shall not extend to errors that are solely the fault of the Village.
Section 3.4. Union Use of Bulletin Board. The Village will make available space on
a bulletin board in each station for the posting of official Union notices of a non-derogatory nature.
The Union will limit the posting of Union notices to such bulletin board.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

ARTICLE IV
LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Section 4.1. Unpaid Leaves of Absences. The Fire Chief may grant an unpaid leave
of absence to an employee who has been employed for at least three (3) months for a period of
time not to exceed thirty (30) days, provided a request for such leave shall not be arbitrarily and
unreasonably denied. Any requests for an unpaid leave of absence in excess of thirty (30) days
shall be subject to the approval of the Village Manager.
Section 4.2. Sick Leave.
(a) Sick Leave Accrual. Employees who are assigned to 24-hour shifts shall earn
twelve (12) hours of sick leave for each completed month of Village employment and employees
who are assigned to 8-hour shifts shall earn eight (8) hours of sick leave for each completed month
of Village employment. Employees beginning employment from the 1st through the 15th day of
the month will be credited with 12 or 8 hours of sick leave, whichever is appropriate depending on
their shift assignment, for that month of service. Employees beginning the 16th through the end
of the month will be credited with 6 or 4 hours of sick leave, whichever is appropriate depending
on their shift assignment, for that month of service but must wait until the following month to be
eligible for sick leave pay. Employees shall not earn sick leave when they are off on sick leave,
disability leave, or an unpaid leave for more than thirty (30) consecutive days.
Unused sick leave may be accumulated from year to year up to a maximum of 1440 hours
for employees assigned to 24-hour shifts and 960 hours for employees assigned to 8-hour shifts.
If an employee is transferred from an 8-hour shift to a 24-hour shift, the employee’s accumulated
sick leave hours at the effective date of transfer shall be one and one-half times the number of
accumulated sick leave hours the employee had just prior to the effective date of the transfer.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
6
Return to Mgr Rpt
Example: If an employee had 800 accumulated sick leave hours just prior to being transferred from
an 8-hour shift to a 24-hour shift, the number of accumulated sick leave hours the employee would
have as of the effective date of his transfer to the 24-hour shift would be 1200 hours (i.e., 800 times
1.5 = 1200). If an employee is transferred from a 24-hour shift to an 8-hour shift, the employee’s
accumulated sick leave hours at the effective date of transfer shall be two-thirds of the number of
accumulated sick leave hours the employee had just prior to the effective date of the transfer.
Example: If an employee had 1200 accumulated sick leave hours just prior to being transferred
from a 24-hour shift to an 8-hour shift, the number of accumulated sick leave hours the employee
would have as of the effective date of his transfer to an 8-hour shift would be 800 hours (i.e., 1200
times 2/3 = 800).
(b) Use of Sick Leave. Sick leave may be used only for an employee’s maternity,
illness, injury and doctor’s appointments, or for serious illness or injury in the employee’s
immediate family. “Immediate family” for this purpose is defined as the employee’s spouse, civil
union partner, children, parents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brothers, sisters, and grandparents.
In the case of serious illness in the immediate family which necessitates the employee’s presence,
up to 24 hours per calendar year of sick leave shall be approved by the Fire Chief or his designee.
An additional 24 hours for 24-hour personnel and 16 hours for 8-hour personnel may be approved
by the Village Manager, such approval not to be arbitrarily and unreasonably denied. If an
employee is unable to work due to illness, the employee must inform his supervisor if at all possible
at least one hour prior to the start of the scheduled workday. An employee’s failure to inform his
supervisor each day of absence, or at agreed intervals in the case of an extended illness, will result
in a loss of that day’s pay. Employees will comply with reasonable reporting rules as may be
established by the Fire Chief.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
7
Return to Mgr Rpt
In order to receive pay for a sick leave day that occurs immediately before or immediately
after any other regularly scheduled paid day off the employee must establish proof of sickness to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Fire Chief or his designee.
(c) Sick Leave Bonus Days. Employees assigned to 24 hour shifts shall be eligible for
sick leave bonus time to be taken during the current calendar year based on how many sick leave
days that the employee used during the preceding calendar year in accordance with the following:
No. of Sick Leave No. of Sick Leave
Leave Days Used As of 12/31 Bonus Days/Hours
None 1 1/2 days (36 hrs.)
1 day 1 day (24 hrs.)
2 days 1/2 day (12 hrs.)
3 or more None
Employees assigned to 8-hour shifts shall be eligible for sick leave bonus time to be taken
during that calendar year based on how many sick leave days days that the employee used during
the preceding calendar year in accordance with the following:
No. of Sick Leave No. of Sick Leave
Leave Days Used As of 12/31 Bonus Days/Hours
None 3 days (24 hrs.)
2-3 days 2 days (16 hrs.)
4-5 days 1 day (8 hrs.)
6 or more None
Use of sick leave for either the employee himself or his family will count in determining
eligibility for sick leave bonus days.
There will be a separate slot for scheduling sick leave bonus time for 24-hour personnel.
Only one employee may schedule and take sick leave bonus time on any given day, provided that
sick leave bonus time cannot be scheduled or taken on holidays. Effective January 1, 2003, if any
sick leave bonus time earned in the preceding calendar year (i.e., calendar year 2002 and beyond)
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
8
Return to Mgr Rpt
is not taken during the current calendar year, it will be added to the employee’s accumulated sick
leave hours up to but not above the maximum accumulation of 1,440 hours for employees assigned
to 24-hour shifts and 960 hours for employees assigned to 8-hour shifts. Any additional sick leave
bonus time will be forfeited if not used in the current year.
(d) Miscellaneous. It is specifically agreed that the Village retains the right to audit,
monitor, and/or investigate sick leave usage and, if an employee is reasonably suspected of abuse,
or if the employee has prolonged and/or frequent absences, to take reasonable corrective action,
including such actions as discussing the matter with the employee, requiring that the employee
seek medical consultation, instituting sick leave verification calls (for employees suspected of
abuse, including employees who are frequently absent), and/or, where appropriate, taking
disciplinary action, including dismissal, subject to the provisions of Article XX.
Sick leave may not be used for absence due to a work-related injury for which
compensation is provided under the Worker’s Compensation Act. If an employee’s illness or
injury exceeds the amount of available sick leave, the employee may elect to use earned but unused
paid time off, or be placed on leave without pay in accordance with Section 4.1 above.
Section 4.3. Funeral Leave. In the event of a death in the employee’s immediate
family, the employee shall be granted up to three (3) days (one duty day for 24-hour personnel)
leave of absence without loss of pay. Requests for extensions of two work days (one duty day for
24-hour personnel) shall not be unreasonably denied, but any such days shall be charged to sick
leave and any other accrued leave time in that order. Immediate family for the purposes of this
section shall mean the employee’s spouse, civil union partner, children (including step children),
grandchildren, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, parents (including step parents), grandparents, father-
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Return to Mgr Rpt
in-law, mother-in-law, brothers and sisters (including step brother and step sister), brother-in-law,
and sister-in-law.
If an employee is notified of the death of the employee’s spouse, civil union partner, parent
(including step parent) or child (including step child) during his work day, the employee shall be
relieved from duty with pay upon request as soon as possible and the portion of such work day that
the employee is relieved shall not count as one of the leave of absence day(s) provided above.
Section 4.4. Jury/Witness Leave. An employee who is required to report for jury duty,
or who is required to attend attorney interviews, give depositions or testify with respect to lawsuits
which the Village institutes or which arise out of the employee’s employment by the Village
(excluding an employee’s participation in such activities at the request of the Union) shall be
excused from work without loss of pay for the period of time which he is required to be away from
work and during which he would have otherwise been scheduled to work. If an employee is
required to participate in such activities during off-duty hours (excluding jury duty and an
employee’s participation in such activities at the request of the Union), the employee shall be paid
the applicable hourly rate of pay for all such off-duty hours of required participation (including
reasonable and necessary travel time), with a minimum of two hours pay, plus parking fees, if any,
and mileage expenses; any fees paid by outside agencies for witness or subpoena fees (excluding
jury duty) shall be returned to the Village by the employee, including the endorsement and return
of any witness fee checks.
An employee shall immediately notify the Fire Chief if he is required to participate in a
lawsuit which arises out of his employment by the Village. The Village retains the right to
schedule the employee’s participation during the employee’s duty hours. If the Village does not
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
10
Return to Mgr Rpt
exercise this right, the scheduling shall be done at the mutual convenience of the employee and
the party requesting the employee’s participation.
If an employee is subpoenaed to testify in lawsuits which do not arise out of the employee’s
employment by the Village or if the employee’s participation in pretrial activities is needed in a
lawsuit instituted by the Union, the employee shall be permitted to use accrued leave time, request
an exchange of tours of duty, or take time off without pay.
If an employee is needed to testify in a lawsuit instituted by the Union, the employee shall
be released from duty without loss of pay if it is necessary for him to testify during his normal duty
hours; the employee shall not receive any compensation if he testifies during off-duty hours.
If an employee is subpoenaed at the request of the Fire Chief to testify in a hearing before
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, the employee shall either be released from duty
without loss of pay or paid the applicable hourly rate of pay for all hours of required off-duty
participation, whichever is applicable. If an employee is subpoenaed at the request of someone
other than the Fire Chief, the employee shall be released from duty without loss of pay if it is
necessary for him to testify during his normal duty hours; the employee shall not receive any

provision shall not be applicable to (1) a continuation of employment (including self-employment)
that the employee had prior to going on an approved leave of absence as long as there is no
significant expansion of such employment, (2) employment that is integrally related to the purpose
of the approved leave, or (3) employment that has been approved in advance by the Fire Chief
(such approval shall not be arbitrarily and unreasonably denied).

SENIORITY, LAYOFF AND RECALL
Section 5.1. Definition of Seniority. Departmental seniority shall be defined as the
length of service from the last date of beginning continuous full-time employment as a sworn
firefighter in the Fire Department of the Village uninterrupted by termination of employment.
Rank seniority shall be defined as the length of continuous full-time employment in a promoted
rank uninterrupted by termination of employment. Conflicts of departmental or rank seniority
shall be determined on the basis of the order of the firefighters on the Fire and Police Commission
hiring or promotional list, whichever is applicable, with the firefighter higher on the applicable list
being the more senior. Where the term “seniority” is used in this Agreement, it shall mean
departmental seniority unless otherwise specified.
Section 5.2. Probationary Period. All new employees and those rehired after
termination of employment shall be considered probationary employees until they complete a
probationary period of twelve (12) months. In accordance with State Law the probationary period
may exclude periods of training, (periods of time for orientation and entry level training not
associated with 24-hour duty shift assignment), or injury or illness leaves, including duty related
leave, in excess of 30 calendar days and the probationary period may be extended for a firefighter
who is required, as a condition of employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a hearing is for failing to meet the
requirements for paramedic licensure. During an employee’s probationary period the employee
may be suspended or terminated at the sole discretion of the Village, subject to whatever legal
rights, if any, such employees may have separate and apart from this Agreement. No grievance
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

shall be presented or entertained in connection with the suspension or termination of a probationary
employee.
Section 5.3. Seniority List. On or before September 1 each year, the Village will
provide the Union with a seniority list setting forth each employee’s seniority date. The Village
shall not be responsible for any errors in the seniority list unless such errors are brought to the
attention of the Village in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after the Union’s receipt of the
list.
Section 5.4. Layoff. Employees covered by this Agreement will be laid off in
accordance with their length of service as provided in Illinois Statute (65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-18).
Section 5.5. Recall. Employees who are laid off shall be placed on a recall list. If
there is a recall, employees who are still on the recall list shall be recalled in the inverse order of
their layoff.
Employees who are on the recall list shall be given up to twenty-one (21) calendar days to
report back to work from date of receipt of the notice of recall, provided that the employee must
notify the Fire Chief or his designee of his intention to return to work within seven (7) days after
receiving notice of recall. The Village shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations by mailing
the recall notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the mailing address last provided
by the employee, with a copy to the Union, it being the obligation and responsibility of the
employee to provide the Fire Chief or his designee with his latest mailing address. If an employee
fails to timely respond to a recall notice his name shall be removed from the recall list.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Return to Mgr Rpt
Section 5.6. Termination of Seniority. Seniority and the employment relationship
shall be terminated for all purposes if the employee:
(a) quits;
(b) is discharged (for just cause for an employee who has successfully completed the
probationary period);
(c) retires (or is retired should the Village adopt and implement a legal mandatory
retirement age);
(d) falsifies the reason for a leave of absence;
(e) fails to report to work at the conclusion of an authorized leave of absence;
(f) is laid off and fails to report for work within twenty-one (21) calendar days after

(applicable to 8-hour personnel); or
(i) is absent for one full shift without notification and does not notify the Fire Chief or
his designee prior to the start of the next regularly scheduled shift (applicable to 24-
hour personnel).
Employees who establish that their absence under subsections (e) and (f) or their failure to
notify under subsections (h) and (i) was due to circumstances beyond their control shall not be
terminated under this Section.
Section 5.7. Interruption of Seniority. Seniority shall be interrupted in the event an
employee is laid off, placed on a non-duty disability pension or is granted a leave of absence
without pay. When an employee returns from a layoff, non-duty disability or an unpaid leave of
absence, his seniority shall be his length of service up to the date of layoff or beginning of the
unpaid leave of absence. Seniority shall not be interrupted, and shall continue to accrue, during
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

To ensure the ability to recruit new members the Village reserves the right to start new
employees who have previous experience and are already certified as firefighters and/or are
already certified as paramedics at a step higher than Step A. The criteria for a new employee to
start at a step higher than Step A shall be set forth by the Village in a policy developed by the
Village. At a minimum, lateral employees with at least one year of prior experience and a
minimum of a Firefighter II certification, or equivalent, shall be started at least at Step B; lateral
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
22

employees who have at least one year of prior experience and are certified by the Illinois
Department of Public Health or a similar nationally registered accreditation agency as a Paramedic
shall be started at least at Step C; and lateral employees with at least one year of prior experience
and both the Firefighter II certification or equivalent and a Paramedic certification shall be started
at least at Step D.
Section 6.2. Step Increases. For Firefighters hired on or before May 1, 2024, and for
all Lieutenants based on their original hire date, advancement from Step A to Step B and from
Step B to Step C shall be at six month intervals; advancement from Step C or higher to the next
higher step up to Step F shall be at yearly intervals. To be eligible for such step advancement the
employee must meet departmental standards during the prior year evaluation period. An employee
shall be eligible to advance to Step F+ only upon completing at least one year at Step F and after
being approved by the Fire Chief for Step F+ based on sustained above average performance
during the prior evaluation period. Receipt of Step F+ does not guarantee that the employee will
remain at Step F+.
For Firefighters hired after May 1, 2024, advancement from Step A to Step B shall be at a
yearly interval; advancement from Step B or higher to the next higher step up to Step H shall be
at yearly intervals. To be eligible for such step advancement the employee must meet departmental
standards during the prior year evaluation period. An employee shall be eligible to advance to
Step H+ only upon completing at least one year at Step H and after being approved by the Fire
Chief for Step H+ based on sustained above average performance during the prior evaluation
period. Receipt of Step H+ does not guarantee that the employee will remain at Step H+.
Upon request, an employee shall be provided with a copy of all written evaluations relied
on by the Fire Chief in determining whether or not an employee should advance to, or remain in,
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
23
Return to Mgr Rpt
Step C or higher, including Step F+ and Step H+. In addition, if an otherwise eligible employee
is denied a step increase, including denial of, or removal from, Step F+ and Step H+, the Fire Chief
shall, upon the employee’s request, provide the employee with a written statement of the reason(s)
for the denial or removal. If a non-probationary employee alleges that he has been arbitrarily and
unreasonably denied a step advancement, including Step F+ and Step H+, such employee may file
a grievance in accordance with the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement.
Section 6.3. Longevity Pay. Employees on the active payroll with continuous
unbroken service with the Village in a position covered by this Agreement shall receive monthly
longevity pay in accordance with the following schedule:

20 years but less than 25 years $116.66 $1,400.00
25 years or more $145.83 $1,750.00
For the purposes of this Section, an employee’s absence which does not result in the
termination of the employment relationship shall not affect an employee’s eligibility to receive
longevity pay upon an employee’s return to work. In such a situation, the employee upon his
return to work shall be credited with the number of years and months of service that he had
immediately prior to going on leave, provided an employee shall continue to accumulate service
credit while off from work due to an absence covered by the Worker’s Compensation Act.
Section 6.4. EMT-P Stipend. An employee who is certified and functioning as a
EMT-P shall receive a stipend per fiscal year (pro rata if less than a year) on the basis of the

ARTICLE VIII
VACATIONS
Section 8.1. Amount of Vacation and Application.
(a) Amount of Vacation.
Employees assigned to 24-hour shifts shall be eligible for annual paid vacation based upon
their years of continuous service. The employee’s anniversary date shall be the basis of
determining the number of completed years of service as follows:
Completed Years of Service Annual Accrual
1st year to 5th anniversary 7-24 hour shifts
6th year to 12th anniversary 9-24 hour shifts
13th year to 18th anniversary 11-24 hour shifts
19th year to 23rd anniversary 14-24 hour shifts
24th year and over 16-24 hour shifts
The number of 24-hour shifts of vacation set forth above are, in part, in lieu of two (2)
holidays for employees assigned to 24-hour shifts.
Vacation earned during the first year of service shall be scheduled and taken during the
calendar year in which that anniversary falls. Similarly, vacation earned in the second, and each
subsequent, year of service shall likewise be scheduled and taken during the calendar year in which
the anniversary date falls.
Employees assigned to 40-hour work weeks shall accrue vacation as of their anniversary
date of employment in any year in accordance with the accrual rates established by past practice.
(b) Vacation Application. In accordance with existing practice and for ease of
scheduling, an employee who shall be eligible, as of his/her next anniversary date, for additional
vacation days (based on completed years) shall schedule those additional vacation days in
accordance with the said anniversary date of the calendar year. In other words, an employee who
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
30
Return to Mgr Rpt
will reach his 6th, 13th, 19th, or 24th anniversary in a calendar year may schedule 9, 11, 14, or 16
furlough days, respectively, when selecting furlough for that calendar year.
However, if the employee terminates prior to his anniversary date and has taken more
vacation time off than earned during that year, such unearned vacation time taken off is owed the
department and shall be reimbursed to the department.
Section 8.2. Vacation Eligibility. In order to be eligible for a full paid vacation, an
employee who, as of his anniversary day of employment, has been continuously employed in a
position covered by this Agreement, must be paid for at least 2,300 hours during the preceding
anniversary year of employment; provided, however, the eligibility requirement for employees
who are scheduled to work on the basis of 40 hours per week shall be 1,800 hours. If an employee
is paid for less than 2,300 hours or 1,800 hours, whichever is applicable, during the preceding
anniversary year of employment, the employee shall receive a pro rata paid vacation, with the
number of shifts of paid vacation rounded to the nearest whole number. Example: An employee,
assigned to a 24-hour shift with 22 years of continuous service, is paid for 1,250 hours during the
preceding year of employment, shall receive eight (8) 24-hour shifts of paid vacation.
Section 8.3. Vacation Pay. Vacation pay shall be paid at the rate of the employee’s
regular straight-time hourly rate of pay (including longevity pay, if any) in effect for the
employee’s regular job classification on the payday immediately preceding the employee’s
vacation.
Section 8.4. Limitation on Accumulation of Vacation. Earned vacation shall normally
be taken within one year after it is earned. Earned vacation may not be accumulated from one year
to another unless reasonably authorized in writing by the Fire Chief. Under no circumstances may
more than two years’ vacation be accumulated.

Section 8.5. Pay for Earned but Unused Vacation Upon Termination. If at time of
termination an employee has earned but unused vacation time, calculated through his last full
payroll period, said vacation time shall be paid at the employee’s rate of pay at time of termination.
In the event of death, any vacation earned but unused shall be paid to the designated beneficiary
of the deceased employee. Employees with less than 12 months of continuous service at
termination shall not receive any vacation pay. Except as provided in this section, there shall be
no salary payment made in lieu of vacation. Other than an employee’s death, the provisions of
this section shall not be applicable to an employee’s retirement that is covered by any of the
provisions of Section 8.6 below.
Section 8.6. Retirement Vacation Allowance. An employee with at least twenty (20)
or more years of continuous full-time service at time of retirement and who notifies the Fire Chief
in writing at least two months in advance of the last date of work prior to retirement shall be
entitled during his last year of employment to an extra one-half shift (i.e., 12 hours) of vacation
for each full year of employment for employees assigned to 24-hour shifts and an extra 8-hour
shift of vacation for each full year of employment for employees assigned to 8-hour shifts. The
employee shall receive a payout for this extra vacation time (RVA) in a lump sum that is deposited
into the employee’s Post Employment Health Plan in accordance with Section 12.29. The Village
may, in its discretion, waive the two-month notice requirement for employees who retire with less
than two months’ notice due to an unforeseen personal or family health emergency.

SCHEDULING OF FURLOUGHS
AND FLOATING HOLIDAYS
Section 9.1. Furlough and Floating Holiday Picks for Fire Suppression Employees.
Furlough and floating holiday picks shall be made between October 15 and December 15 for the
following calendar year, starting with the most senior employee. All furlough picks shall be in
increments of at least one duty day. Floating holiday picks shall be selected in the same manner
separately from furlough picks after all furlough picks are completed.
Four (4) slots per duty day shall be allotted for both furlough and floating holiday picks.
In addition, and in lieu of the SLBD Memorandum of Agreement, in order to accommodate all
earned furlough and floating holiday picks during the term of the contract that is the successor to
the parties’ 2002-2006 collective bargaining agreement, beginning with calendar year 2008, five
additional slots per month per shift (i.e., a fifth slot) shall be made available for both furlough and
floating holiday picks during the months of January through April and September through
December.
Not more than three (3) bargaining unit lieutenants may be on furlough, a floating holiday
or scheduled off on a Kelly day at the same time. Accordingly, the number of furlough picks that
may be picked by bargaining unit lieutenants is dependent upon the number of furlough days that
have already been picked by bargaining unit lieutenants. Example: If only one bargaining unit
lieutenant has picked a furlough day on a given duty day and another bargaining unit lieutenant is
scheduled off on a Kelly day, there would be only one remaining furlough pick available for that
duty day for bargaining unit lieutenants on that shift.
Section 9.2. Furlough for Eight-Hour Employees. Vacations shall be scheduled
insofar as practicable at times desired by each employee, with the determination of preference
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
33
Return to Mgr Rpt
being made on the basis of an employee’s length of continuous service with the Department. It is
expressly understood that the final right to designate vacation periods and the maximum number
of employee(s) who may be on vacation at any time is reserved to the reasonable judgment of the
Fire Chief in order to insure the orderly performance of the services provided by the Village and
to have vacations scheduled as evenly as possible throughout the year.
Section 9.3. Floating Holidays for Personnel Assigned to 24-Hour Shifts. Employees
assigned to 24-hour shifts shall earn four (4) floating holidays per calendar year, i.e., one for every
three (3) full months of service, subject to the following:
1. Probationary employees must complete three (3) full months of service before
becoming eligible to receive one (1) floating holiday, i.e., January through March,
April through June, July through September, or October through December.
Example: A probationary employee hired on March 15 must work the full three (3)
month period April through June before becoming eligible to receive one (1)
floating holiday.
2. A non-probationary employee whose employment is terminated either voluntarily
or involuntarily is eligible to receive a floating holiday if he/she actually works at
least one full day in the three (3) month period as defined above. Example: A non-
probationary employee whose employment is terminated on May 5 and who
actually worked one (1) full shift between May l and May 5 will receive one (1)
floating holiday for the April-June period.
Floating holidays shall be picked after all furlough picks as provided in Section 9.1 above.
Within the same shift, furlough days and floaters, once they have been picked, and Kelly days once
they have been assigned, may be traded one for another, subject to the approval of the Fire Chief
or his designee, provided that such requests shall not be arbitrarily and unreasonably denied. While
any such approved trades shall be considered duty trades for purposes of FLSA, they shall not be
considered duty trades for purposes of Section 9.5 of this Agreement. Since the four (4) floating
holidays per calendar year are scheduled by employees for the following year before they have
actually earned them, if an employee has scheduled and taken more floating holidays in a calendar
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
34
Return to Mgr Rpt
year than he/she has earned as of the date of his/her termination, the employee shall reimburse the
Village for each unearned floating holiday that was scheduled and taken prior to termination by
means of a deduction from the employee’s final paycheck, or if the employee’s final paycheck is
insufficient, by paying the amount owed to the Village. Example: If a non-probationary employee
whose termination date is June 30 has taken three (3) floating holidays between January 1 and June
30, the employee shall reimburse the Village for one (1) floating holidays.
Except for a probationary employee who earns a floating holiday for the three (3) full
month period October through December, all floating holidays must be used by the end the
calendar year and cannot be carried forward to the next calendar year. Except as provided in
Section 12.29 (Retiree Separation Benefits), no cash payment shall be paid for any floating
holidays earned during a calendar year that have not been used by the end of that calendar year.
If an employee is on paid sick leave and the period of the sick leave includes a shift
previously scheduled as a floating holiday, it shall be taken as a floating holiday and the employee
will not be charged for use of sick leave hours for the shift in question.
Section 9.4. Furlough Picks for Terminated or Transferred Employees. If an
employee is transferred within the Skokie Fire Department, retires, is placed on disability
retirement, or his employment is otherwise terminated after the employee has made his furlough
picks but before he has used such picks, the furlough picks thus opened up shall be immediately
posted for bid. The least senior employee who requests such picks shall be permitted to exchange
such picks to the extent that such employee has unused furlough picks. If there are still additional
picks, the next least senior employee who requests such picks shall have the right to the picks and
so on until all the vacated picks are taken. Under this Section any employee who has an
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
35
Return to Mgr Rpt
opportunity to exchange furlough picks shall not again be offered any opportunity to exchange
furlough picks during the same calendar year unless all employees have declined the opportunity.
Section 9.5. Duty Trades. Duty trades shall be permitted only when a voluntary
request for such change or trade is submitted in the proper manner and approved by the Fire Chief
or his designee, provided that such a request shall not be arbitrarily and unreasonably denied.
Absent bona fide extenuating circumstances that preclude such advance notice, such requests must
be submitted and approved a minimum of two (2) duty days prior to the day of the requested
change or trade. All approved duty trades must be paid back before the effective date of an
employee’s promotion or assignment to a position not covered by this Agreement.
For purposes of this section, the two duty days will be counted from the date the request is
entered into the Duty Trade Database following any process or procedural steps as directed by
current written directive. Also, duty trade requests entered into the Duty Trade Database, on the
second duty day prior to the requested day will be counted as one duty day. In other words, if the
duty trade request is for the 7th, a duty trade request entered on the 1st, will be considered as
meeting the minimum “two (2) duty days prior” requirement.
If, because of extenuating circumstances, an employee cannot submit the duty trade request
within the required time frame, verbal permission must be sought, through the chain of command.
This will allow sufficient time to get the duty trade, if approved, into the daily scheduling software.

HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME
Section 10.1. Purpose. This Article is intended to define the normal hours of work and
to provide the basis for the calculation and payment of overtime. It shall not be construed as a
guarantee of hours of work per day, per week, or work cycle, or of days of work per week, per
month or per work cycle.
Section 10.2. Normal Work Day and Work Week. The normal work day and work
week for fire suppression employees shall be 24 consecutive hours of work (one shift) followed
by 48 consecutive hours off (two shifts). A Kelly Day (i.e., what would otherwise be a 24-hour
duty day) shall be scheduled off every eighteen (18) duty days, thereby reducing the normal work
week to an average of 52.88 hours.
The normal work day and work week for employees assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau
shall be 40 hours based on five 8-hour shifts Monday through Friday.
Section 10.3. Normal Work Cycle. The normal work cycle for employees assigned to
24-hour shifts shall be 27 days. For FLSA purposes, each employee’s work cycle shall be
established so that the employee’s Kelly day (i.e., every 18th shift) starts at 8 p.m. on the shift of
the 27th day of his work cycle and ends at 8 p.m. on the first day of the succeeding work cycle. If
the shift starting time is changed, the employee’s work cycle for FLSA purposes shall be adjusted
accordingly.
The normal work cycle for employees assigned to 8-hour shifts shall be 28 days.
Section 10.4. Changes in Normal Work Day, Normal Work Week, or Normal Cycle.
(a) Fire Prevention Bureau. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 above, should it be
necessary in the Village’s judgment to establish individual schedules for employees assigned to
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
37
Return to Mgr Rpt
the Fire Prevention Bureau departing from the normal work day, normal work week, or the normal
work cycle, or to change the shift schedule of an employee or employees, the Village will give, if
practicable, at least 24 hours’ advance notice of such change to all employees whose normal work
day, normal work week, and/or normal work cycle is changed. Employees shall not be required to
alter their normally scheduled hours of work without their consent in order to prevent such
employees from being eligible for overtime pay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, flextime work
schedules for employees assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau shall be subject to the mutual
agreement of the employee and the Fire Chief or his designee.
(b) Fire Suppression Employees. Subject to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 above, should it be
necessary for bona fide operational reasons (e.g., shift transfers from one 24-hour shift to another
24-hour shift, transfer of a lieutenant to the Fire Prevention Bureau, or changes in the starting times
of 24-hour shifts, etc.) to change an employee’s current shift assignment or shift starting time, the
Village shall give at least 24 hours’ advance notice of such change to any affected employee(s).
Except where an employee is temporarily assigned to a forty (40) hour work week for schooling
or light duty, fire suppression employees’ assignment to a 24-hour shift shall not be either altered
in order to prevent such employees from being eligible for overtime pay or scheduled on the basis
of a normal shift schedule that departs from the standard of 24 hours on and 48 hours off specified
in Section 10.2 above.
Section 10.5. Overtime Pay.
(a) Regular Overtime Pay. Employees except those assigned to the Fire Prevention
Bureau shall be paid one and one-half times their regular straight time hourly rate of pay for all
hours worked, including any hours in required attendance at departmental meetings, in excess of
their regularly scheduled 24-hour shifts.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
38
Return to Mgr Rpt
(b) Overtime Pay for Required Training. Employees who are mandatorily required to
attend training sessions during their off duty hours shall be paid one and one-half times their
regular straight time hourly rate of pay for all hours of actual attendance at such training sessions
(excluding travel time) in excess of their regularly scheduled 24-hour shifts. Voluntary training
during off duty hours for activities approved by the Fire Chief may be considered compensable
hours of work for the purposes of this Agreement if authorized in writing by the Fire Chief; if not
so authorized, voluntary training during off duty hours shall not be considered compensable hours
of work for the purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Overtime Pay for Employees Assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau. Employees
assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau shall be paid one and one-half times their regular straight
time hourly rate of pay (computed on the basis of 2,080 annual hours of work) for all hours worked
in excess of one hundred sixty (160) in their 28-day work cycle as part of their assigned Fire
Prevention Bureau duties and responsibilities. For purposes of this section only, all hours that an
employee receives pay for as a Fire Prevention Bureau employee shall be counted in determining
eligibility for overtime pay.
Employees who are assigned to the Fire Prevention Bureau who are hired back to perform
fire suppression work during their off duty hours shall be paid one and one-half times the regular
straight time hourly rate of pay for lieutenants assigned to 24-hour shifts computed in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.7 of this Article.
Section 10.6. Callbacks. For callbacks, there shall be a guarantee of two hours’ pay or
work at time and one-half.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Section 10.7. Computation of Hourly Rate of Pay.
a) Straight Time Hourly Rate of Pay. The straight-time hourly rate of pay for employees shall
be calculated by dividing the employee’s annual base salary by the annual hours of work.
The annual hours of work for employees assigned to 8-hour shifts shall be 2,080. The
annual hours of work for employees assigned to 24-hour shifts shall be 2,750.
b) Overtime Hourly Rate of Pay. Effective May 1, 2007, the overtime rate of pay shall be
calculated by dividing the employee’s annual base salary by 2,650 hours of work.
Section 10.8. Distribution of Hirebacks and Callbacks. Except in emergency
circumstances where it is not feasible to use the existing procedures, the opportunity to work
hirebacks and callbacks shall be in accordance with the procedures in effect at the time this
Agreement is ratified by both parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Village to
interrupt work in progress at the end of an employee’s normally scheduled shift (e.g., an ambulance
run). If any employee establishes that he has not received his appropriate share of hireback and/or
callback opportunities, such employee shall have first preference to future hireback and/or callback
opportunities, whichever is applicable, until reasonable balance is recreated.
Section 10.9. No Pyramiding. Compensation shall not be paid more than once for the
same hours under any provision of this Article or Agreement, provided that the employee shall be
paid under the applicable provision which provides the highest compensation.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
Section 11.1. Condition of Employment. All employees directed to obtain and
thereafter maintain EMT-Paramedic (EMT-P) licensure, shall maintain their EMT-P licensure as
a condition of employment unless the Fire Chief grants written permission to an employee to
reduce status from EMT-P to EMT-B. All employees shall maintain a minimum of an EMT-B
license. All new employees shall be directed by the Fire Chief within five (5) years after their
initial date of employment to obtain and thereafter maintain EMT-P licensure unless the Fire Chief
grants written permission to an employee to cease functioning as an EMT-P.
Section 11.2. Good Faith Effort. Employees shall make a good faith effort to obtain
and maintain their licensure as EMT-P or EMT-B. An employee’s failure to make, in the Fire
Chief’s judgment, a good faith effort to obtain or maintain their EMT-B or EMT-P licensure shall
constitute cause for termination, subject to the provisions of Article XX. If an employee believes
that the Fire Chief’s determination that the employee has not made a good faith effort to
obtain/maintain licensure as an EMT-B or as an EMT-P is arbitrary and unreasonable, the
employee may file a grievance over this issue in accordance with Article XIII of this Agreement.
An employee who makes, in the Fire Chief’s judgment, a good faith effort but nevertheless
fails to successfully obtain/maintain EMT-B or EMT-P licensure, shall be given one additional
opportunity in the area(s) of deficiency or failure only (provided one of the resource hospitals
which the Department has used in the past accepts the employee for such training), and/or retake
examinations the number of times authorized by law (provided the appropriate representative of
the applicable resource hospital has approved the retaking of the examination). If such employee
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

obtains or retains licensure as an EMT-B or EMT-P, the Village will refund to the employee upon
submission of appropriate receipts evidencing payment for the direct costs for the retraining, such
as tuition, fees, books, etc., provided that expenses for mileage and meals shall not be reimbursed.
Time spent in such retraining outside the employee’s regularly scheduled hours of work
shall not be considered compensable time for any purpose. An employee’s failure to obtain or
maintain licensure as an EMT-B or EMT-P, whichever is applicable, after being given one
additional opportunity shall constitute cause for termination, subject to the provisions of Article
XX.
The Chief in his discretion may increase the number of ALS apparatus and the number of
employees required to maintain an EMT-P license in order to staff those apparatus.
Section 11.3. Arrangements for EMT-P Training. The Village shall make appropriate
arrangements for employees to undertake the necessary courses of study, practical experience, and
other prerequisites to obtaining and/or maintaining certification, including paying the direct cost
for the training in accordance with present practice, except as provided in Section 11.2 above
concerning retraining.
Except as provided in Section 11.2 above, any EMT-P training which occurs outside the
employee’s regularly scheduled hours of work shall be compensated at one and one-half times the
employee’s regular hourly rate of pay.
In addition, the necessary continuing education hours needed to maintain licensure, if they
occur outside the employee’s regularly scheduled hours of work, shall be compensated at one and
one-half times the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay. Any clinical hours above the required
hours mandated by St. Francis Hospital, that occur outside the employee’s regularly scheduled

provide EMT-P’s annually with a reasonable opportunity to obtain the necessary continuing
education hours needed to maintain licensure during their regularly scheduled hours of work.
Section 11.4. EMT-P Preceptors. The preceptor position is a voluntary position
providing EMS field training to, but not limited to, intern EMT-P’s during their licensing process,
EMT-P students, EMT-B students, and other department licensed EMT-P’s and EMT-B’s.
Preceptors also participate with instruction of various forms of EMS continuing education
programs.
If there is an insufficient number of volunteer preceptors, EMT-P’s who meet the following
criteria may be assigned for a term of one (1) year with a minimum of one year between
assignments.
A. At least one (1) year experience as a licensed EMT-P for the Skokie Fire
Department and the St. Francis EMS System, or alternative experience as approved
by the St. Francis EMS Director.
B. Possess a sound knowledge of EMS theory and skills, and the ability to instruct and
guide.
C. Have no previous sustained complaints of misconduct or malpractice in the EMT-
P’s personnel file within the past 12 months.
D. Maintain current good standing with the department, EMT-P continuing education
requirements, and any and all EMS quizzes and examinations.
E. Endorsement and unanimous agreement of the department Chief, department EMS
Coordinator, EMS System Coordinator, and EMS System Director.
F. Temporary assignments due to preceptor absence shall be made in accordance with
this Section. If this temporary assignment is greater than 50% of the student’s
internship, the temporarily assigned preceptor is credited with one (1) year service.
Conversely, the preceptor that vacated the position is immediately eligible for
assignment.

responsibility of the student to complete the course requirements as dictated in the St. Francis
Student Manual.
Section 11.6. Special Circumstances. Both parties agree that certain special
circumstances may arise, including the following:
A. Student Not Completing/Passing the Class. If the student is not successful in
passing or completing the class, then Article XI, Section 11.2 of the Agreement
shall apply.
B. Student Not Passing Internship Phase.
(1) Preceptor(s) must document on evaluation forms as to the areas in which
the student is deficient. The student and EMS Coordinator shall be
informed of deficiencies.
(2) Preceptor(s) shall remediate the student and document with the EMS
Coordinator that the student received such remediation.
(3) If, in the opinion of the Fire Chief, preceptor(s), and the EMS Coordinator
the student is not progressing, a request for extension from the student, EMS
Coordinator, and preceptor shall be forwarded to the EMS System Director.
If a lack of improvement continues to be documented throughout extension
period, then Article XI, Section 11.2 of the Agreement shall apply.
C. Students Requesting Internship Extension.
(1) Must inform the preceptor and Department EMS Coordinator as soon as
possible to request an extension.
(2) Preceptor, student, Fire Chief, and EMS Coordinator shall meet and
document reason for request of extension and submit a formal request to the
EMS System Director.

Section 11.7. Annual Continuing Education. It is the responsibility of a licensed EMT-
B or EMT-P to obtain the mandated hours of annual continuing education. Failure to submit
documentation of these hours to the EMS Coordinator prior to the last day of the year is cause for
discipline as outlined in Article XX of this Agreement.
Section 11.8. EMT Licensure. It is the responsibility of the licensed EMT-B and
licensed EMT-P to submit to Fire Department headquarters the proper documentation needed to
renew their license. Currently that documentation is the IDPH EMS System Renewal Notice/Child
Support/Personnel History Statement paperwork. Failure to submit documentation to headquarters
thirty (30) days prior to their license expiration is cause for discipline as outlined in Article XX of
this Agreement.
Section 11.9. Rotation. Where feasible, the department will attempt to provide for
rotation between ambulance and fire suppression company assignments for firefighter/EMT-P’s,
factoring in operational needs of the department, an employee’s capabilities, and seniority.
Consistent with the need to provide the experience necessary for appropriate skill retention, the
intent of such rotation is to reasonably distribute EMT-P assignments among qualified
firefighter/EMT-P’s. Efforts to provide for such rotation shall be contingent on daily staffing
needs. Firefighter/EMT-P’s on restricted duty assignments and Lieutenants may not be subject to
rotation.
Frontline assigned Fire Apparatus Engineers (FAEs) and Lieutenants who opt back into
the EMT-P program who are receiving an EMT-P stipend, will not be required to serve in the
ambulance rotation on their regularly assigned shift unless an operational need arises. Employees
who elect to opt back into the EMT-P program must notify the Chief of their election to opt back
into the program on or before September 16, 2024.

Department supervisor is notified that an employee has provided emergency care or life support
services to a patient who is suspected of having or has been diagnosed as having, a dangerous
communicable or infectious disease, the employee shall be immediately notified. The costs for
any and all related medical examination, diagnostic tests, or related treatments for the employee
in question shall be borne by the Village.
Section 11.11. Probationary Firefighter EMT-P. Probationary firefighters hired with
EMT-P licensure may maintain that licensure. The Department shall make every effort to assist
the probationary firefighter in accruing the necessary continuing education hours available during
the probationary firefighter’s regularly scheduled hours of work. Continuing education hours
accomplished during other than regularly scheduled hours of work shall be compensated per
Section 11.5 of this Article.
The probationary firefighter shall not be utilized as an EMT-P. Upon completion of the
probationary firefighter’s 12th month of the probationary period, the firefighter will then be
assisted by the EMS Coordinator in obtaining the right to function in the St. Francis EMS System.
Upon having successfully completed entry into the St. Francis EMS System, a minimum of a three
(3) month Departmental EMS orientation period, and with final Department approval, the
firefighter shall then be eligible to collect compensation under Article VI, Section 6.4, EMT-P
Stipend.

Section 12.1. Gender. Unless the context in which they are used clearly requires
otherwise, words used in this Agreement denoting gender shall refer to both the masculine and
feminine.
Section 12.2. Ratification and Amendment. This Agreement shall become effective
when ratified by the Village Board and the bargaining unit membership and signed by the
authorized representatives thereof and may be amended by written mutual agreement of both
parties. Each party warrants to the other to take all steps necessary to insure that the terms hereof
are binding on themselves and their successors.
Section 12.3. Precedence of Agreement. If there is any conflict between the written
provisions of this Agreement and the written provisions of any Village ordinance or the written
provisions contained in the Village’s Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual which may be in
effect from time to time, the written terms of this Agreement shall take precedence.
Section 12.4. Fitness Examinations. Before an employee returns to duty from an
extended leave of absence, or if the Village has reasonable cause to question the fitness of an
employee for duty, the Village may require that the employee be examined at Village expense by
a qualified and licensed physician and/or other appropriate medical professional selected by the
Village. The foregoing requirement shall be in addition to any requirement that an employee
provide at his own expense a statement from his doctor upon returning from sick leave or disability
leave. Nothing herein shall preclude an employee from being examined by a qualified and licensed
physician and/or other appropriate medical professional at his own expense. The Village agrees
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

to reasonably accommodate an employee’s medical/physical condition to the extent, if any, that
such accommodation is required by applicable law in a fire department context.
Section 12.5. Physical Fitness Program. In order to maintain and improve efficiency in
the Fire Department, to protect the public and to reduce insurance costs and risks, the Village may
establish a reasonable physical fitness program, which shall include individualized goals. While
employees may be required to participate in any such program, no employee will be disciplined
for failure to meet any goals that may be established, provided that an employee has complied with
the standard within the prescribed time. Before any such program is implemented, the Village
shall review and discuss the program at a meeting of the Labor-Management Committee.
The foregoing shall not be construed to either relieve an employee of his/her obligation to
meet reasonable job-related physical fitness standards that may be established by the Village or
interfere with the Village’s right to terminate an employee who is unable to meet reasonable job-
related physical fitness standards.
Section 12.6. Drug and Alcohol Testing. In order to help provide a safe work
environment and to protect the public by insuring that firefighters have the physical stamina and
emotional stability to perform their assigned duties, the Village may require employees to submit
to a urinalysis test and/or other appropriate test up to four times per year per employee at a time
and place designated by the Village. The Village will notify the Union President prior to
implementing such random testing. If an employee tests positive in any such random test, the
results shall not be sent to the Village, but rather the employee shall be advised confidentially to
seek assistance through the Village’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP). If the same employee
tests positive a second time, the test results shall be submitted to the Fire Chief for appropriate
action.

The Village may require an employee to submit to urine and/or blood tests if the Village
determines there is reasonable suspicion for such testing. Upon request, the Village shall provide
any employee who is ordered to submit to any such test with a written statement of the basis for
the Village’s reasonable suspicion within 48 hours of the request.
The Village will require an employee to submit to urine and/or blood tests if the employee
is involved in a vehicle accident where one or more of the following applies: a) if there is a fatality,
b) if the driver (employee) receives a citation for a moving traffic violation arising out of the
accident, c) if there are bodily injuries to any person requiring treatment at a medical facility, or
d) if one or more motor vehicle incurs disabling damage as a result of the accident, requiring the
motor vehicle to be transported away from the scene by a tow truck or other motor vehicle.
The Village shall use only licensed clinical laboratories for such testing and shall be
responsible for maintaining a proper chain of custody. The taking of urine samples shall not be
witnessed unless there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is tampering with the
testing procedure. If the first test results in a positive finding, a confirmatory test (GC/MS or a
scientifically accurate equivalent) shall be conducted. An initial positive test result shall not be
submitted to the Village unless the confirmatory test result is also positive as to the same sample.
If the Village, contrary to the foregoing, receives the results of a positive first test which is not
confirmed as provided above, such information shall not be used in any manner adverse to the
employee. Upon request, the Village shall provide an employee with a copy of any test results
which the Village receives with respect to such employee.
A portion of the tested sample shall be retained by the laboratory so that the employee may
arrange for another confirmatory test (GC/MS or a scientifically accurate equivalent) to be
conducted by a licensed clinical laboratory of the employee’s choosing and at the employee’s
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

expense. Once the portion of the tested sample leaves the clinical laboratory selected by the
Village, the employee shall be responsible for maintaining the proper chain of custody for said
portion of the tested sample.
Use of prescribed drugs at any time while employed by the Village, abuse of prescribed
drugs, as well as being under the influence of alcohol (i.e., a blood alcohol concentration (BAC)
of 0.04) or the consumption of alcohol while on duty, shall be cause for discipline, including
termination, subject to the provisions of Article XX. All other issues relating to the drug and
alcohol testing process (e.g., whether there is reasonable suspicion for ordering an employee to
undertake a test, whether a proper chain of custody has been maintained, etc.) may be grieved in
accordance with the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement.
Voluntary requests for assistance with drug and/or alcohol problems (i.e., where no test has
been given pursuant to the foregoing provisions) shall be held strictly confidential by the Employee
Assistance Program and the Fire Department shall not be informed of any such request or any
treatment that may be given.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prevent an employee from (1) asserting, or
the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners or an arbitrator, whichever is applicable as per Article
XX, from considering, that there should be treatment in lieu of discipline in any disciplinary
proceeding before the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners or an arbitrator, whichever is
applicable as per Article XX, or (2) contesting any discipline that may be imposed under applicable
federal or state discrimination laws.

to pay for the purchase of the above described initial issue of uniforms and equipment.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
51
Return to Mgr Rpt
If an employee is transferred to a different assignment for which there are different uniform
and/or equipment requirements, the employee will be provided with the required initial issue of
uniforms and/or equipment at Village expense to the extent that the employee has not already been
issued such uniforms and/or equipment.
The Village shall provide at its expense to all bargaining unit employees, as well as all
newly hired firefighters, an individual SCBA face piece and replace same if it becomes worn out
or damaged as provided below.
Pursuant to its quartermaster system, the Village will replace required uniform and
equipment items through vendors selected by the Village as they become worn out or damaged,
provided that the employee must turn in worn out/damaged uniform and equipment items to his
shift Captain and receive approval from his shift Captain to replace the item or items in question.
If at all possible the vendor selected by the Village to replace uniform items will have a location
reasonably close to the Village of Skokie. It is understood that equipment items may be
appropriately repaired rather than replaced if it is reasonable to repair the item. If an employee
does not purchase an optional item and the employee subsequently desires the item, the initial
purchase shall be at the employee’s expense; if the employee thereafter purchases the item and it
is worn out/damaged, it will be replaced as provided above. If an employee needs to obtain new
equipment or clothing because a larger size is needed due to weight gain, the employee will be
responsible for the entire cost of that equipment or clothing.
Any employee who does not turn in worn out/damaged uniform and equipment items shall
be required to pay for the replacement; provided that if an employee is able to establish to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Fire Chief or designee that a uniform or equipment item has been
lost or stolen due to circumstances beyond the employee’s reasonable control, the employee shall
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
52
Return to Mgr Rpt
not be required to pay for the replacement. Circumstances beyond the employee’s reasonable
control must be established prior to a uniform and/or equipment inspection.
The type, style, and/or color of uniforms and equipment shall be determined by the Fire
Chief, provided that any substantive change or modification shall be first reviewed with the
Uniform and Equipment Committee composed of two representatives named by the Union and
two representatives named by the Fire Chief, and the Fire Chief shall consider any
recommendations that may be made by the Uniform and Equipment Committee. The Fire Chief
and his designees may establish reasonable rules and policies concerning the use and wearing of
uniforms and equipment.
The Uniforms and Equipment Committee will review and make recommendations on
alternative styles of shoes that meet the Village’s specifications. If the employee does not want
the style of shoes supplied by the Village’s primary vendor pursuant to the Village’s specifications
and the employee is unable to obtain or order an alternative pair of shoes as recommended by the
Uniform and Equipment Committee and approved by the Fire Chief from the Village’s primary
vendor, the employee may purchase an alternative style of shoe and in such event the Village will
reimburse the employee for the cost of such shoes up to the amount the Village would have paid
its primary vendor for the style of shoes supplied by the primary vendor.
Section 12.8. Impasse Resolution. In the event the terms and conditions of a successor
agreement cannot be resolved by negotiation, disputed items shall be resolved in accordance with
the statutory impasse resolution procedure provided for in Section 14 of the Illinois Public Labor
Relations Act.
Section 12.9. Disability Benefits. Employees who are injured on the job and who are
eligible for Worker’s Compensation will receive the following disability benefits:
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
53
Return to Mgr Rpt
(a) For up to one year following the injury, the employee will receive 100% of gross
wages.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, if the injury occurs as a result of a voluntary,
recreational/athletic activity, no disability benefit will be paid by the Village, unless
such injury, contrary to any position that the Village might take, is ultimately held
to be covered by Worker’s Compensation.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no paid sick leave days
will be accrued or earned while on a work related disability leave (i.e., off on
Worker’s Compensation) and no vacation days or floating holidays will be accrued
or earned after the first year on disability leave.
(d) If an employee is still incapacitated one (1) year following the date of the original
work related injury/illness, the employee may continue to participate in the
Village’s group insurance plans (medical, dental and life) by prepaying the current
full (100%) insurance premium rates. This participation can continue until the
employee returns to work, Worker’s Compensation payments cease or it is
determined by the Skokie Fire Pension Board, based on appropriate medical
documentation, that the employee is permanently incapacitated and therefore
eligible for a disability pension. If it is determined that an employee is eligible to
receive a disability pension, the pensioner can continue to participate in the
Village’s group insurance plan by prepaying the current full (100%) insurance
premium rates, provided such participation has been uninterrupted.
Section 12.10. Light Duty. The Village may require an employee who is on sick leave,
or Worker’s Compensation leave (as opposed to disability pension) to return to work in an
available light duty assignment that the employee is qualified to perform, provided the Village’s
physician has reasonably determined that the employee is physically able to perform the light duty
assignment in question without significant risk that such return to work will aggravate any pre-
existing injury and that there is a reasonable expectation that the employee will be able to assume
full duties and responsibilities within six months.
An employee who is on sick leave, Worker’s Compensation leave (as opposed to disability
pension) has the right to request that he be placed in an available light duty assignment that the
employee is qualified to perform and such a request shall not arbitrarily and unreasonably be
denied, provided that the Village’s physician has reasonably determined that the employee is
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
54
Return to Mgr Rpt
physically able to perform the light duty assignment in question without significant risk that such
return to work will aggravate any pre-existing injury and that there is a reasonable expectation that
the employee will be able to assume full duties and responsibilities within six months.
Unless the employee consents to a different work schedule, the hours of work for an
employee with a light duty assignment shall be eight (8) consecutive hours (including a one-half
hour paid lunch period) between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday (unless the physician
specifies a shorter workweek).
If an employee returns or is required to return to work in a light duty assignment and the
employee is unable to assume full duties and responsibilities within six months thereafter, the
Village retains the right to place the employee on disability leave.
Nothing herein shall be construed to require the Village to create light duty assignments
for an employee. Employees will only be assigned to light duty assignments when the Village
reasonably determines that the need exists and only as long as such need exists. If the number of
available light duty assignment(s) is limited, preference shall be given to employees on Worker’s
Compensation leave.
Nothing in this Section shall affect the statutory rights of the Pension Board in dealing with
an employee on a disability pension.
Section 12.11. No Smoking. New employees and employees hired after January 6, 1986,
shall not, as a condition of employment, smoke, chew or use tobacco in any form, either on or off
the job. Use of tobacco in any form by employees who were hired prior to January 6, 1986, shall
be in accordance with applicable state law.
Section 12.12. Access to Personnel File. Upon reasonable request, an employee shall
have the right to review the documents in his personnel file, provided that no documents in an
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
55
Return to Mgr Rpt
employee’s file shall be marked or altered. An employee shall be notified when adverse material
is placed in his personnel file and the employee shall have the right within 30 days thereafter to
submit a response to any such adverse material. An employee may request a copy of any of the
documents in his personnel file. If such a request is made, the employee shall reimburse the
Village for the reasonable cost of copying any such documents (not to exceed the charges the
Village assesses for Freedom of Information Act requests). Nothing herein shall require the
Village to collate or compile any information.
Section 12.13. Subcontracting. No employee shall be laid off as a result of any decision
by the Village to subcontract any work performed by employees covered by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, basic fire suppression work shall not be subcontracted, provided
that this provision shall not be applicable to any mutual aid agreements that the Village has or may
have with other fire departments or if there is a violation of Article XIV, Section 14.1, of this
Agreement.
Section 12.14. Deferred Compensation. The employees covered by this Agreement shall
be eligible to participate in any deferred compensation program that the Village may establish on
the same terms and conditions that are applicable to Village employees generally.
Visits by representatives shall be arranged and scheduled in accordance with Village
policy; provided, however, visits for shift personnel shall be scheduled on weekdays during non-
assigned time.
Section 12.15. Job Duties. The primary job duties of employees covered by this
Agreement shall be fire suppression, prevention and extinguishment, normal and routine
maintenance of equipment, fire station and grounds, emergency medical services, hazardous
materials incident management, and other duties and responsibilities, including operation of the

print shop, which employees normally performed as part of their regular job duties prior to the
effective date of this Agreement. It is recognized that changes in job duties and job functions will
occur from time to time and that the Village may assign employees job duties and job functions
related to those set forth above.
The following are examples regarding “normally performed” job duties associated with
general housekeeping responsibilities around the fire stations:
(a) Washing and painting of areas of fire stations, from time to time, that may require
the use of a 6 foot (or less) step ladder. The painting of an entire fire station should
be spaced over a period of at least eighteen (18) months. Specifically excluded are
apparatus floor walls and ceilings requiring the use of step ladders larger than 6
foot.
(b) Changing of electrical outlets and switches.
(c) Minor plumbing repairs, not including pipe replacement, fixture replacement,
sweating, etc.
(d) Minor construction work, not including wall and ceiling construction, paneling,
installing doors and windows, floor tiling, etc.
(e) Minor apparatus repairs, not to include body and fender work.
Nothing herein shall interfere with the right of employees to volunteer, or the Village’s
right to ask for volunteers, to perform job duties unrelated to the primary job duties set forth above,
but an employee’s refusal to volunteer to perform such unrelated duties shall not be cause for
discipline or the denial of Step F+ or Step H+ if the employee is otherwise qualified.
Section 12.16. Tuition Reimbursement. The employees covered by this Agreement shall
be eligible to participate in any educational development and tuition assistance program that the
Village may establish on the same terms and conditions that are applicable to Village employees
generally.

in accordance with existing practices. If there is an insufficient number of firefighters who
volunteer to operate the print shop as part of their regularly assigned duties, nonprobationary
firefighters who are not in paramedic training may be assigned in the inverse order of their
seniority, provided that nothing herein is intended to alter the practice of assigning employees who
are not regularly assigned to operate the print shop to work in the print shop from time to time
performing such tasks as collating, stapling, folding, boxing, etc.
Section 12.21. Serving in Acting Capacity. The rate of compensation for firefighters
assigned to perform the duties of a lieutenant shall be 8% above the employee’s applicable hourly
rate of pay for each hour that the employee is assigned to work in acting capacity during such an
occurrence. Lieutenants acting as a captain shall be paid a differential of 7% above their applicable
hourly rate of pay during such an occurrence. For these purposes, an occurrence shall be defined
as serving in acting capacity for 12 hours or more. If more than one employee is assigned to work
in acting capacity during one occurrence, each employee shall be paid for the respective number
of hours that they worked in acting capacity during the occurrence in question.

A. Requests for attendance shall be subject to approval of the Fire Chief or his
designee but such approval shall not be unreasonably denied. Subject to class
positions being available, approval shall not be withheld for attendance at an
approved class to obtain Fire Officer I and II certifications. If there are more
requests to attend than there are available class positions, preference shall be given
in order:
1. Current Fire Department Officers;
2. Inverse order of classes needed to complete a given certification; and
3. If there are still more requests than there are positions, the more senior
applicants shall have preference.
B. The Department shall pay all tuition and associated fees for attendance at such
schools and classes.
C. Employees on a regularly scheduled duty day during the scheduled time for
approved Fire Officer I or II and Fire Instructor I or II certification classes shall be

for attendance at such training sessions and time in attendance at these training
classes (excluding travel time) will be considered as compensable time.

assignment, will be supported to the extent possible, contingent upon budgetary constraints, with
tuition expenditures and release from duty contingent upon staffing and approval of the Fire Chief
or designee.

assignments for the following year, the Village will meet with two representatives designated by
the Union to discuss the Department’s operational considerations and to receive input from the

ARTICLE XIII
GRIEVANCE AND ARBITRATION PROCEDURE
Section 13.1. Definition. Unless expressly provided otherwise, a “grievance” is
defined as a dispute or difference of opinion raised by an employee or the Union against the Village
involving the meaning, application or an alleged violation of an express provision of this
Agreement. Employees have the right to authorize in writing the Union to file and process
grievances on their behalf, or to file grievances without the intervention of the Union. No
settlement of a grievance filed by an individual employee without Union representation shall be
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. The failure of an employee to file a grievance in
instances where the employee also fails to authorize the Union to file a grievance shall not be a
precedent binding on the Union in future instances involving similar facts and circumstances. The
Union may file grievances concerning alleged violations of Union rights or privileges set forth in
this Agreement (e.g., dues deduction, Union bulletin board, etc.).
Section 13.2. Procedure. The parties acknowledge that it is usually most desirable for
grievants and their immediate supervisors to resolve problems through free and informal
communications. If, however, the informal process does not resolve the matter, the grievance will
be processed as follows:
STEP 1: Grievance shall be submitted in writing to the appropriate Captain specifically
indicating that the matter is a grievance under this Agreement. The grievance
shall contain a statement of the facts, the provision or provisions of this
Agreement which are alleged to have been violated, and the relief requested.
All grievances must be presented no later than fourteen (14) calendar days from
the date of the first occurrence of the matter giving rise to the grievance, or
fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the grievant knew or should have
known of the matter giving rise to the grievance through the use of reasonable
diligence. The Captain shall render a written response including the reasons
therefor to the grievant within seven (7) calendar days after the grievance is
presented, unless he determines that the grievance alleges matters beyond his
authority or jurisdiction. In such event, the Captain shall so advise the grievant
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
62
Return to Mgr Rpt
and the grievance shall be forwarded to Step 2. In the event the grievance has
been filed by an individual employee without Union representation, the Captain
shall submit a copy of his response, together with the grievance, to the Union
President.
STEP 2: If the grievance is not settled at Step 1 and the grievant wishes to appeal the
grievance to Step 2 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing
to the Deputy Chief or his designee within seven (7) calendar days after receipt
of the Village’s answer at Step 1. The grievance shall specifically state the
basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at
the previous step in the grievance procedure. The Deputy Chief, or his
designee, shall provide a written answer including the reasons therefor to the
grievant within seven (7) calendar days after the grievance is appealed to Step
2. If a meeting is held at Step 2 to discuss resolution of a grievance filed by an
individual employee without Union representation, a Union representative shall
be afforded an opportunity to attend such meeting.
STEP 3: If the grievance is not settled at Step 2 and the grievant wishes to appeal the
grievance to Step 3 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing
to the Fire Chief within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Village’s
answer at Step 2. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which
the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at the previous step
in the grievance procedure. The Fire Chief, or his designee, shall investigate
the grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall discuss the
grievance within seven (7) calendar days of receipt with the grievant and an
authorized representative of the Union at a time mutually agreeable to the
parties. If no settlement of the grievance is reached, the Fire Chief, or his
designee, shall provide a written answer including the reasons therefor to the
grievant and the Union within fourteen (14) calendar days following their
meeting.
STEP 4: If the grievance is not settled at Step 3 and the Union desires to appeal, it shall
be referred by the Union in writing to the Village Manager within seven (7)
calendar days after receipt of the Village’s answer at Step 3. Thereafter, the
Village Manager or his designee and other appropriate individual(s) as desired
by the Village Manager, shall meet with the grievant and a Union representative
within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the Union’s appeal. If no
agreement is reached, the Village Manager or designee shall submit a written
answer including the reasons therefor to the grievant and Union within ten (10)
calendar days following the meeting.
Section 13.3. Arbitration. If the grievance is not settled in Step 4 and the Union wishes
to appeal the grievance from Step 4 of the grievance procedure, the Union may refer the grievance
to arbitration, as described below, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of the Village’s
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
63
Return to Mgr Rpt
written answer as provided to the Union at Step 4. Only the Union may, refer grievances to
arbitration.
(a) Within seven (7) days of the receipt by the Village of the Union’s notice that a
grievance is being referred to arbitration, the representatives of the parties shall
attempt to mutually agree upon an arbitrator.
(b) In the event the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7)
calendar days the parties may individually or jointly request the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service to submit a panel of seven (7) arbitrators. The request
shall specify that the panel be composed only of arbitrators who are members of
the National Academy of Arbitrators and who maintain their primary residence in
the state of Illinois. In the case of interest arbitration, the arbitrators must also have
experience in Illinois interest arbitration. Both the Village and the Union shall have
the right to reject one list before striking any names. The union and the Village
shall alternately strike names. The striking shall be determined by a coin toss with
party losing the coin toss striking the first name, until one name remains. That
person shall be the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be notified of his selection by a
joint letter from the Village and the Union, notifying the arbitrator of his/her
selection.
(c) Conduct of Hearings: The parties agree that all arbitration hearings shall be
conducted as follows:
(1) Hearings shall be held in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, at a mutually agreed
location. Hearings may be conducted outside the Village of Skokie only by
written mutual agreement;
(2) The hearings shall begin within thirty (30) days of the notification from the
arbitrator selected that the arbitrator has accepted the appointment to serve
as the neutral arbitrator. The parties by mutual written agreement may agree
to delay the date of the first hearing for a period up to ninety (90) days. The
hearings shall be scheduled on mutually agreed dates, subject to the
reasonable availability of the arbitrator and the representatives of the parties
and shall be concluded within thirty (30) days of the date of the first hearing;
(3) Each party shall have the right to submit rebuttal evidence and testimony,
as well as to submit a post-hearing brief. Post-hearing briefs shall be
simultaneously submitted directly to the arbitrator, with a copy sent to the
opposing party’s representative, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of
the conclusion of the hearings;
(4) The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be issued in writing directly to
each party’s representative within thirty (30) days of the close of hearings
or the submission of post-hearing briefs, whichever is later;
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
64
Return to Mgr Rpt
(5) A mutually agreed court reporting service shall record and transcribe the
hearings. The costs of the neutral arbitrator, as well as the costs of the court
reporting service and a copy of the transcript for the arbitrator shall be
divided equally. Each party shall be responsible for purchasing its own
copy of the transcript and for compensating its witnesses and
representatives.
(d) Time Limits: The parties agree that any time limits in the grievance procedure may
be extended by mutual written agreement.
(e) More than one grievance may be submitted to the same arbitrator where both parties
mutually agree in writing.
Section 13.4. Limitations on Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have no right
to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the provisions of this Agreement. The
arbitrator shall consider and decide only the question of fact as to whether there has been a
violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of the specific provisions of this Agreement. The
arbitrator shall be empowered to determine the issue raised by the grievance as submitted in writing
and shall have no authority to make a decision on any issue not so submitted or raised. The
arbitrator shall be without power to make any decision or award which is contrary to or inconsistent
with, in any way, applicable laws, or of rules and regulations of administrative bodies that have
the force and effect of law. Any decision or award of the arbitrator rendered within the limitations
of this Section 13.4 shall be final and binding on the Village, the Union, and the grievant.
Section 13.5. Time Limit for Filing. If a grievance is not presented by the grievant
within the time limits set forth above, it shall not be considered timely and may not be pursued
further. If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the specified time limit or any agreed
extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the Village’s last answer. If the
Village does not answer a grievance or an appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the
grievant may elect to treat the grievance as denied at the step and immediately appeal the grievance
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

to the next step. The parties may by mutual agreement in writing extend any of the time limits set
forth in this Article.

Union President, or their designees, shall have the right and authority to agree in writing to bypass
one or more steps of the grievance procedure set forth herein.

are scheduled during working hours of any grievant who desires to attend or of his Union
representative, such employee(s) shall be released from duty to attend such meetings/arbitration
hearings without loss of pay.
Section 13.8. Miscellaneous. No member of the bargaining unit, including anyone who
is temporarily serving in a non-bargaining unit position, shall have any authority to respond to a
grievance being processed in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in this Article.
Moreover, no action, statement, agreement, settlement, or representation made by any member of
the bargaining unit shall impose any obligation or duty or be considered to be authorized by or
binding upon the Village unless and until the Village has agreed thereto in writing.

INSURANCE
Section 15.1. Comprehensive Medical Program and Dental Insurance Program. The
comprehensive medical program and dental insurance program that is currently in effect shall be
continued during the term of this Agreement. The terms of the program “currently in effect” are
those described in the employee benefit booklet and plan document effective May 1, 2009. The
Village retains the right to change insurance carriers, benefit levels, or to self-insure as it deems
appropriate, so long as the new basic coverage and basic benefits are substantially equivalent to
those described in the aforementioned employee benefit booklet and plan document. Reasonably
prior to the effective date of any such changes, the Village will advise the Union of the changes.
Employees may elect single or family coverage in the Village health plan and in the dental
insurance program offered by the Village during the enrollment period(s) established by the
Village. The employee may also elect single or family coverage in an HMO selected and offered
by the Village during the enrollment period(s) established by the Village. If the Village offers a
different HMO from those currently offered, such new HMO option shall be reasonably equivalent
to the replaced HMO, subject to the market alternatives for HMOs that are then available and
provided that the cost for new HMO is not higher than the cost for the Village plan. Effective May
1, 2009, and retroactive to May 1, 2009, the employee shall pay 12% of the premium or cost for
single or family coverage, whichever is applicable, for the plan selected and said amount shall be
deducted from the employee’s paycheck. Effective June 1, 2018, and thereafter, the Employee
shall pay the same percent as the Village’s unrepresented employees are also paying (up to 15%)
toward the cost of such premium or cost for single or family coverage, whichever is applicable,
for the plan selected and said amount shall be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.

Section 15.2. Life Insurance. The Village will provide during the term of this
Agreement term life insurance in the amount of $45,000. The Village retains the right to change
insurance carriers or to self-insure this benefit as long as the $45,000 benefit is maintained.
Section 15.3. Cost Containment. The Village reserves the right to maintain or institute
cost containment measures relative to insurance coverage so long as the basic level of insurance
benefits remains substantially the same. Such changes may include, but are not limited to,
mandatory second opinions for elective surgery, pre-admission and continuing admission review,
prohibition on weekend admissions except in emergency situations, bounty clause, and out-patient
elective surgery for certain designated surgical procedures.
Section 15.4. Terms of Policies to Govern. The extent of coverage under the insurance
policies referred to in this Article shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in said
policies. Any questions concerning coverage shall be resolved in accordance with the terms and

Agreement.
Section 15.5. Right to Maintain Coverage While on Unpaid Leave or on Layoff. An
employee who is on an approved unpaid leave of absence or who is on layoff with recall rights
shall have the right to maintain insurance coverage by paying in advance the full applicable
monthly premium for employee coverage and, if desired, for dependent coverage.
Section 15.6. Right to Maintain Coverage in Defined Circumstances. An employee
who is (1) on an approved unpaid leave of absence, (2) on layoff with recall rights, or (3) on
Worker’s Compensation leave for more than one (1) year following the date of the original work
related injury/illness shall have the right to continue to participate in the Village’s group insurance
plans (medical, dental and life) by prepaying the current full (100%) insurance premium rates.

This participation can continue until the employee returns to work, the employee no longer has
recall rights, Worker’s Compensation payments cease, or it is determined by the Skokie Fire
Pension Board, based on appropriate medical documentation, that the employee is permanently
incapacitated and therefore eligible for a disability pension. If it is determined that an employee
is eligible to receive a disability pension, the pensioner can continue to participate in the Village’s
group insurance plan by prepaying the current full (100%) insurance premium rates, provided such
participation has been uninterrupted.
Section 15.7. Employee Assistance Program. The employees covered by this
Agreement shall be eligible to participate in any Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that the
Village may establish on the same terms and conditions that are applicable to Village employees
generally.
Section 15.8. Post-Retirement Medical Savings Plan. One percent of each employee’s
base annual salary shall be deducted from each employee’s paycheck and shall be placed into a
Post-Employment Health Plan (PEHP) for each employee. Effective the first payroll period
beginning on or after the signing of the successor agreement, one percent (1%) of Firefighter F+
(or Step H+ for employees hired after May 1, 2024) base annual salary shall be deducted from
each employee’s paycheck, and shall be placed into a PEHB for each employee. All contributions
to the PEHP shall be made as provided by this Agreement and in accordance with applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and related rulings. All such deductions shall be
contributed by the Employer to the Plan Administrator for the PEHP for deposit with the Trustee
of the Plan. Employees shall be responsible for PEHP administrative fees. This one percent
payroll deduction will not be deemed to decrease an employee’s annual salary as set forth in
Section 6.1 of this Agreement that is used in determining the amount of an employee’s pension.

said grievance is appealed to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII, the
arbitrator shall have no authority to find that this Section has been violated unless he/she finds,

DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE
The Employer agrees that non-probationary employees may be disciplined and discharged
only for just cause. Where the Fire Chief or his designee believes just cause exists to institute
disciplinary action against any such employee, he shall have the option to impose or seek the
following penalties:
(a) oral reprimand
(b) written reprimand
(c) suspension
(d) demotion
(e) discharge
If the Fire Chief or his designee decides to discipline or institute disciplinary action against
any such employee, the following procedures shall apply:
1. Fire Chief’s Authority to Discipline and to Suspend Pending Investigation and/or
Hearing.
(a) The Fire Chief or his designee shall have the following disciplinary
authority:
(1) To reprimand or suspend employees without pay as a disciplinary
measure up to a maximum of five (5) duty days in accordance with
65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 and the Rules and Regulations of the Skokie
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners effective July 15, 2002.

Article.
(2) To file charges against employees seeking the penalties of a
suspension without pay of more than five (5) duty days up to thirty
(30) calendar days, demotion or discharge.

hearing regardless of which hearing option may be selected by the

employee. If the employee is suspended without pay, nothing herein shall
be construed to waive an employee’s rights under the Supreme Court’s
decision in Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, 470 U.S. 532
(1985).
(c) If the Fire Chief or his designee decides to discipline an employee or to
initiate discipline of an employee, he or his designee shall serve written
notice of the charges and disciplinary penalty or proposed disciplinary
penalty upon the employee involved. The following provisions shall be
applicable when disciplinary action is taken or instituted by the Fire Chief:
(1) If the employee elects to have the disciplinary action or proposed
disciplinary action heard by the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners, the employee’s appeal shall be governed by 65
ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 and the Rules and Regulations of the Skokie
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners effective July 15, 2002.
(2) If the employee elects (with the approval of the Union) to file a
grievance as to the disciplinary action, the grievance shall be
processed in accordance with Article XIII of the Agreement, except
that it shall be filed at Step 4 of the procedure. Once the employee
notifies the Village of his decision to have the appeal heard through
the grievance and arbitration procedure, the decision of the Fire
Chief or his designee with respect to the disciplinary action shall be
deemed final, subject to the review of said decision through the
grievance and arbitration procedure.
2. Irrevocable Election of Appeal Procedure. Upon receipt of the notice, the employee
may elect to appeal the disciplinary action (excluding oral reprimands under either
option and both oral and written reprimands under the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners option) either to the Village of Skokie Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners (“Board of Fire and Police Commissioners”) or, with the approval
of the Union, through the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in Article
XIII of this Agreement. The employee shall notify the Village of his election in
writing within ten (10) calendar days of receiving the Fire Chief’s written notice of
discipline. It is agreed that the option to appeal either to the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners or through the grievance and arbitration procedure are
mutually exclusive and that no relief shall be available under the grievance and
arbitration procedure with respect to any matter which, at the employee’s option, is
appealed to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, and that no relief shall be
available under the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners’ appeal process with
respect to any matter which, at the employee’s option (and with the Union’s
approval), is appealed to the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in Article
XIII of this Agreement.

3. Board of Fire and Police Commissioners Option. If the employee notifies the
Village of his decision to have the appeal heard before the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners, the procedures set forth in 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 shall be applicable
except as modified by this Article. Where the Fire Chief believes there is just cause
to demote or discharge an employee, he shall not file formal charges with the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners until the employee has notified the Village in
writing of his irrevocable option to have the appeal heard before the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners within the ten (10) calendar day period specified above.
If the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners determines there is or is not just
cause for discipline, it retains the disciplinary and remedial authority, whichever is
applicable, set forth in its Rules and Regulations effective July 15, 2002, and 65
ILCS 5/10-2.1-17.
4. Grievance and Arbitration Option. If the employee notifies the Village of his
decision to have the appeal heard through the grievance and arbitration procedure,
the grievance shall be filed at Step Four. Any appeal to the grievance and
arbitration of discipline shall be signed by the Union President or his designee and
shall also contain a signed statement from the affected employee waiving any and
all rights he may have to appeal the discipline to the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners. Any disciplinary grievance filed without the required signed
waiver shall not be arbitral and the arbitrator shall be without jurisdiction to
consider or rule upon it. If the arbitrator determines that the disciplinary action is
not supported by just cause the arbitrator shall have the authority to rescind or to
modify the action and order that the employee be made whole for any losses
incurred as a result of disciplinary action, or portion thereof, that is not sustained
by the arbitrator.
5. Finality of Decision and Judicial Review. The decision of an arbitrator or the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners, whichever is applicable, with respect to any such
disciplinary action shall be final and binding on the employee, the Union, and the
Village, subject only to an appeal in accordance with the provisions of Illinois law
applicable to the option elected, i.e.:
(a) Board of Fire and Police Commissioners option: Any appeal of a Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners decision shall be in accordance with the
provisions of the Administrative Review Act as provided by the Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners Act, Illinois Revised Statutes, 65 ILCS
5/10-2.1-17.
(b) Arbitration option: Any appeal of an arbitrator’s award shall be in
accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Arbitration Act as provided
by Section 8 of the IPLRA, Illinois Revised Statutes, 5 ILCS 315/8.

that the position continues to be funded and authorized by the Village. If a vacated Lieutenant
position is not filled due to the lack of funding or authorization and is subsequently reinstated (i.e.,
funded and authorized by the Village), the final promotion list shall be continued in effect until all
Lieutenant positions that were vacated and not filled due to the lack of funding or authorization

certification must be obtained within twelve (12) months (depending on class availability) from
the date of promotion. If classes are unavailable, written documentation authorized by the Fire
Chief must be submitted to the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners stating the reason for class
unavailability and the written documentation must state the specific date the class will be taken.
Section 21.4. Notification. Prior to the announcement of the Lieutenants promotional
process, the Village of Skokie’s Director of Human Resources will review the steps of the process
with the Executive Board of Local 3033. If there is a significant difference in the process (i.e.,
change of vendors), a discussion limited to that difference will occur between the parties.
Section 21.5. Resume. At the time the candidate makes application to participate in the
Lieutenant promotional process, the candidate must submit a one-page, single sided resume, along

If a candidate wishes to withdraw from the promotional process before the completion of
the remaining components of the promotional process, the candidate shall so advise the Village
Director of Human Resources in writing.
Section 21.7. Promotion Process Components.
A. Assessment Center. An independent vendor who will use a panel of fire officers
from other public sector jurisdictions shall conduct the Assessment Center. A panel process shall
be used to conduct the Assessment Center. Depending on the number of applicants, multiple
panels may be needed. Each panel shall consist of two (2) or three (3) fire officers in the rank of
Battalion Chief or above from other Illinois public sector jurisdictions, provided that all panel
members meet the certification or provisional certification requirements of the Fire Department
Promotion Act as amended. For two (2) member panels, panel members shall be selected by the
parties from a list of five (5) fire officers provided by the vendor in the rank of Battalion Chief or
above. For three (3) member panels, panel members shall be selected by the parties from a list of
seven (7) fire officers provided by the vendor in the rank of Battalion Chief or above. The parties
shall alternately strike names from the list(s) provided by the vendor until the requisite number of
names remain. A coin toss shall determine which party strikes the first name. The Assessment
Center shall include the use of multiple assessment techniques and tactical exercises. If it is the
current practice of vendor and where possible, each interview shall be recorded by tape or other
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
83
Return to Mgr Rpt
electronic means. Any such recording can be heard by the candidate as part of the Assessment
Center review session with the Assessment Center process facilitator, no copy shall be provided
to the candidate. All such recordings shall be destroyed after the final promotion list has been
posted and no timely grievance is filed challenging the list or the final ruling has been issued if a
timely grievance is filed, whichever is occurs later. A designated representative of the Union shall
be notified and be entitled to be present to monitor any preliminary meeting between certified
assessors or representatives of the vendor and representatives of the Village held prior to the
administration of the Assessment Center. In the event an assessor is not able to participate in the
Assessment Center process for which he is selected, either of the parties involved in the promotion
process may request that additional names of certified assessors be provided by the vendor.
B. Promotability Potential Evaluation (“PPE”). The Village and the Union will meet
after the current promotional process is complete to review and discuss future changes. The
promotability potential evaluation process shall be based on an evaluation conducted by all
Captains (all employees in the position of Captain as of the date the PPE is administered) who
work shift duty, and three (3) Lieutenants (to be jointly selected by Labor and Management) who
each have at least three years in rank (one from each shift) who will convene to review the resumes
and rate the applicants. The raters will remain consistent throughout the promotability potential
evaluation process. The raters will attempt to reach a consensus on each criterion score. If the
raters cannot reach a consensus, the high and low scores will be dropped and the remaining scores
will be averaged to determine the score for the criterion. A Deputy Fire Chief will facilitate the
Promotability Potential Evaluation meeting.
C. Chief’s Points. The Fire Chief will submit his points, from zero (0) to a maximum
of one hundred (100) points to the Village’s Director of Human Resources.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
84
Return to Mgr Rpt
D. Oral Interviews. The Board of Fire and Police Commissioners shall conduct an
individual oral interview with each candidate. The members of the BFPC conducting the oral
interviews will remain consistent throughout all interviews. The BFPC will make every reasonable
effort to conduct all oral interviews within three (3) weeks period of time from the date of the first
oral interview. Questions asked during the oral interview shall be structured and applied uniformly
for all candidates, shall be job-related and designed to enable the BFPC to determine the
candidate’s qualifications and abilities to discharge the duties of Lieutenant.
E. Seniority. Seniority points shall be computed as of the date of the written
examination. Ten (10) points per year shall be granted for each full year of service as a Firefighter
on the Skokie Fire Department above five years of service (i.e., 10 points for six full years of
service, 20 points for seven full years of service, etc.) up to a maximum of one hundred (100)
points. The seniority list shall include the seniority date, any breaks in service, the total number
of eligible years, and the number of seniority points.
F. Written Examination. The written examination shall be administered after all the
other components have been administered. The subject matter of the written examination shall
fairly test the capacity of the candidate to discharge the duties of a Lieutenant. The written
examination shall be developed by an independent outside agency and shall have been
independently validated. The examination shall be based only on the contents of written materials
that the Village has identified and made available to potential examinees at least ninety (90) days
before the written examination is administered.
Section 21.8. Monitors. Up to two (2) impartial persons who are not members of the
Skokie Fire Department may be selected by the Union to serve as monitors by giving written notice
to the Village’s Director of Human Resources at least seven (7) days prior to the first day that
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
85

monitors are to be used. If the Union designates a monitor/monitors, the Village may also
designate an equal number of monitor(s). Each party shall be responsible for all the costs and
expenses of its designated monitor(s). Monitors are authorized to be present and observe the
following components of the promotional process: the Promotability Potential Evaluations,
unsealing of the Chief’s points, the Assessment Center, and BFPC oral interviews. Monitors shall
not interfere with the promotional process, but shall report in writing the full details and facts
concerning any observed or suspected violations of the provisions of this Article applicable to the
component being observed to both the Union and the Village’s Director of Human Resources. To
be considered, such written report must be submitted within 72 hours of the date of the observed
or suspected violation.
Section 21.9. Scoring of Components. Each component of the promotional test shall
be scored on a scale of 100 points. The component scores shall then be reduced by the weighting
factor assigned to the component on the test and the scores of all components shall be added to
produce a total score based on a scale of 100 points. Candidates shall then be ranked on the list in
rank order based on the highest to the lowest points scored on all components of the test. Such
ranking shall constitute the preliminary promotional list.
The scores for each component of the promotional process shall be confidentially disclosed
to each candidate as soon as practicable after the component is completed. After all components
of the promotional process have been completed, the scores for all components for each candidate
who completed all components shall be tallied, a preliminary promotion list shall be prepared by
the Village Director of Human Resources. The Preliminary Promotion List will be comprised of
the weighted score of each component for each candidate without disclosing the name of the
candidate(s). This preliminary promotion list shall be posted on the bulletin board at each fire
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }
86
Return to Mgr Rpt
station. The preliminary promotion list will only include the scores of those candidates who passed
the promotional process with a score of 70 or better on the total of all of the components of the
promotion process. Candidates shall then be ranked on the preliminary list in rank order based on
the highest to the lowest points scored on all components of the test. Such ranking shall constitute
the preliminary promotional list.
Section 21.10. Veteran’s Preference Points and Posting of Final Promotional List. A

examination result, placement or position on a promotion list, or the awarding of veteran’s
preference points may file a grievance in accordance with the provisions of the grievance and
arbitration procedure set forth in Article XIII of this Agreement. Any such grievance must be filed
within 72 hours of the time the final promotion list is posted. Any such grievance shall be limited
to disputes relating to a claim that the Village failed to follow the requirements of this Article in
administering the promotional process. Only such objective grievances shall be allowed under the
parties’ grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in Article XIII. The grievance shall not

grievance process. During the pendency of any such grievance, the Fire Chief may assign an
employee on a temporary basis to serve as acting Lieutenant.
Section 21.12. Order of Selection. When there is a vacant or newly created position in
the rank of Lieutenant that the Village Board of Trustees has funded and authorized to be filled,
the person with the highest ranking on the final promotional list shall be appointed, except that the
Fire Chief shall have the right to pass over that person if the Fire Chief has reason to conclude that
the highest ranking person has demonstrated substantial shortcomings in work performance or has
engaged in misconduct affecting the person’s ability to perform the duties of Lieutenant since the
posting of the promotion list. If the ranking person is passed over, the Fire Chief shall document
the reasons for the decision and shall so advise the person passed over. Unless the reason for
passing over the highest ranking person on the list at the time of the vacancy is not remediable, no
such person shall be passed over more than once. If there is a dispute over the selection of the
second highest ranked person, the highest ranked person may file a grievance in accordance with
the provisions of the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in Article XIII of this

grievance will be filed at Step 3 of the grievance procedure.

{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Return to Mgr Rpt
(b) Assessment Center. The Assessment Center shall be administered by the Institute
of Public Safety Personnel (“IPSP”). A panel process shall be used to conduct the Assessment
Center. Depending on the number of applicants, multiple panels may be needed. Each panel shall
consist of two (2) or three (3) fire officers in the rank of Deputy Chief or above from other Illinois

certification requirements of the Fire Department Promotion Act as amended. For two (2) member

rank of Deputy Chief or above provided by IPSP. For three (3) member panels, panel members
shall be selected by the parties from a list of seven (7) fire officers in the rank of Deputy Chief or

of Captain as of the date of the announcement) who will convene to review the resumes and rate
the applicants. The raters will attempt to reach a consensus on each criterion score. If the raters
cannot reach a consensus, the high and low scores will be dropped and the remaining scores will
be averaged to determine the score for the criterion. A Deputy Chief will facilitate the
Promotability Potential Evaluation meeting with the Captains. The Village and the Union will
meet after the current promotional process to review and discuss future changes.
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Village administrators to determine the candidate’s qualifications and abilities to discharge the
duties of Captain. The raters will attempt to reach a consensus on each criterion score. If the raters
cannot reach a consensus, the high and low scores will be dropped and the remaining scores will
be averaged to determine the score for the criterion.
(e) Seniority. Seniority points shall be computed as of the date of the written
examination. Twenty (20) points shall be granted for each full year of service as a Lieutenant on

of seniority points.
Section 22.7. Scoring of Components and Posting of Preliminary Promotion List. Each
component of the promotion test shall be scored on a scale of 100 points. The component scores
shall then be reduced by the weighting factor assigned to the component on the test and the scores
of all components shall be added to produce a total score based on a scale of 100 points. Candidates
shall then be ranked on the list in rank order based on the highest to the lowest points scored on
all components of the test. Such ranking shall constitute the preliminary promotional list.
The scores for each component of the promotional process shall be disclosed to each
candidate as soon as practicable after the component is completed. The composite score for each
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

the candidates have completed all components of the promotional process, the scores for all
components for each candidate shall be tallied and a preliminary promotion list shall be prepared

based on the highest to the lowest points scored on all components of the promotional process.

completed all the components of the promotional process with a total score of 70 or higher. This

Section 22.8. Veteran’s Preference Points and Posting of Final Promotion List. A
candidate on the preliminary promotion list who is eligible for veteran’s preference points under
applicable law may file a written application within 10 days after the initial posting of the
preliminary promotion list. If requested, the veteran’s preference points shall be added to the
candidate’s total score on the preliminary promotion list. The Village Director of Human

lowest the scores of all candidates who have achieved a total score of 70 or higher.
Section 22.9. Order of Selection. When there is a vacant or newly created position in
the rank of Captain that the Village Board of Trustees has funded and authorized to be filled, the
Fire Chief shall recommend to the Village Manager and the Village Manager shall appoint the
person with the highest ranking on the final promotional list, except that the Fire Chief shall have
the right to pass over that person and recommend the appointment of the next highest ranked person
on the list if the Fire Chief has reason to conclude that the highest ranking person has demonstrated
{00830483.DOCX v. 1 }

Return to Mgr Rpt
substantial shortcomings in work performance or has engaged in misconduct affecting the person’s
ability to perform the duties of the promoted rank since the posting of the promotion list. In such
event, the Village Manager shall appoint the next highest ranked person on the list. If the highest
ranking person is passed over, the Fire Chief shall document his reasons for his decision to
recommend the next highest ranking person on the list. Unless the reasons for passing over the
highest ranking person are not remediable, no person who is the highest ranking person shall be
passed over more than once. Any dispute as to the selection of the first or second highest-ranking
person shall be subject to resolution in accordance with the provisions of the grievance and
arbitration procedure set forth in Article XIII of this Agreement; provided, however, any such
grievance must be filed within seventy-two (72) hours of the time the employee is advised that

RE: Referenda Resolution – 2nd Reading
Ranked Choice Voting July 9, 2024
_____________________________
We presented a draft Resolution to approve the submission of a public question to the
voters of the Village of Skokie regarding the adoption of ranked-choice voting for the
election of Village of icials to the Board of Trustees at its July 1, 2024 regular meeting.
Members of the Board of Trustees asked questions regarding the approval of such a
Resolution and discussed various issues involving ranked-choice voting at that meeting.
In response to the comment regarding the use of the term “1/3” in the question, to
substitute for the phrasing “33 %”, we have revised the question to substitute the term
“1/3”. That change is highlighted in red and shown below:
Do you want Skokie to change to the following ranked choice vo ng system (hereina er
referred to as “RCV”) to elect the Village offices of Mayor, Clerk and Village Trustees
beginning with the April 2029 Consolidated Elec on? RCV would allow voters to rank
candidates by preference in vo ng for each of the offices of Mayor, Clerk and Village
Trustees. RCV would eliminate a separate primary elec on for Mayor, Clerk and Village
Trustees. Skokie voters would retain the right to simply vote for one candidate if they
choose. The RCV vo ng and elec on process for the offices of Mayor, Clerk and each of
the four (4) Village Trustees elected by District would be as follows: 1. The candidate for
each office who is ranked first by a majority of voters would be elected. 2. If there is no
majority winner, the last place candidate would be eliminated and any voter who had
that candidate as their top choice would have their vote transferred to their next choice.
3. This process con nues for that number of rounds of tabula ng votes un l a candidate
wins by receiving a majority of votes. The RCV vo ng and elec on process for the
candidates who run for office for the two (2) at-large Trustee seats in the Village of
2014195_1
Return to Agenda
Skokie would be as follows: 1. When a candidate running at-large for the office of Village
Trustee is the first choice of more than 1/3rd of voters, the candidate would win. 2. If
the winning at-large Trustee candidate receives more than 1/3rd of the vote, a part of
their vote, equal to the propor on of votes the winning candidate received in excess of
1/3rd, will be counted for the voter’s second choice. 3. If no candidate for at-large
Trustee receives more than 1/3rd of the vote or if the above realloca on of the winning
candidate’s votes exceeding 1/3rd does not result in a second at-large trustee candidate
receiving in excess of 1/3rd of the votes, the last place candidate is eliminated and their
vote is counted for their next choice of the remaining candidates. 4. Following the
elimina on of the last-place candidate, the steps numbered 2, 3 and 4 above are
repeated un l a second at-large candidate has received more than 1/3rd of the vote (and
has the greatest number of votes over 1/3rd if another candidate for the second at-large
trustee seat exceeds 1/3rd).
We noted to the Board of Trustees in our memo for the July 1, 2024 Board meeting that in
2023 the Illinois General Assembly amended the Election Code to establish a Ranked-
Choice and Voting Systems Task Force to assess ranked choice voting, with any
recommendations to adopt such systems to begin with the 2028 presidential primary
election.
The last meeting of the Task Force was May 28, 2024. The report of the Task Force, which
is to set forth its indings and recommendations, was due July 1, 2024. It has not been
issued and it is now expected that the Task Force Report will be issued in the next few
months.
An additional suggestion was made during the discussions of the Board of Trustees at its
July 1, 2024 meeting to revise the wording of the above public question to make the timing
of the implementation of any ranked-choice voting system in the Village of Skokie follow
the issuance of the report of the Illinois Ranked-Choice and Voting Systems Task Force and
its recommendations. Due to the uncertainty such a revision would add to the public
question, we would not recommend the revision. We believe such a change to the question
would render it more vulnerable to potential challenge due to a lack of self-execution in all
its elements or due to vagueness.
Finally, the Board of Trustees was interested in additional information regarding the
possible bene its or concerns regarding the adoption and implementation of a ranked-
choice voting system. We have identi ied and summarized several source materials,
hereinbelow, that highlight and explore those issues in greater detail for reference by any of
the members of the Board of Trustees.

POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF RANKED-CHOICE VOTING SYSTEMS
Ranked-Choice Voting System
Possible Positives Possible Negatives
1. Voter turnout 1. Voter Confusion
2. Reduced cost (no runoff contests) 2. Reduced Participation
3. Results in candidate with the 3. Expense
strongest support or broadest 4. Lack of “majority” votes; dilution of vote
support 5. Person with most initial votes can lose
4. More civil campaigning 6. Inconsistent with one person, one vote
5. Reduces “wasted” votes principle
6. More diverse candidate pool 7. Delays in tabulating votes
The following is a sampling of several articles that discuss certain of the potential positive
aspects of ranked-choice voting and the potential drawbacks with the adoption of such a
voting system.
1. “Everything you wanted to know about Ranked-Choice Voting”; UIS News; Dr. A.J.
Simmons; Center for State Policy and Leadership; University of Illinois Springfield;
April 12, 2023 h ps://www.uis.edu/news/everything-you-wanted-know-about-ranked-
choice-vo ng-and-maybe-somethings-you-didnt
This Article explores some of the historical background of ranked-choice voting
(RCV). It further highlights the arguments made for and against RCV. RCV has been
promoted as increasing voter turnout, reducing negative campaigning, allowing for
the election of more moderate candidates and the promotion of diverse
representation. The concerns raised with RCV include voter confusion, failure to
re lect a true majority vote for candidates, the expense of implementation and
reduced voter participation.
2. “Ranked choice is 'the hot reform' in democracy. Here's what you should know about
it.”; National Public Radio; Miles Parks, December 13, 2023
This Article discusses the general concepts of ranked-choice voting (RCV), the

voting, including possible greater voter turnout, it can diminish more extremist
views and campaigns, and can potentially save time by avoiding runoff
elections/primaries.
2. “Ranked Choice Voting; The Good, The Opaque”; GreatBrook Consulting; 2024
https://greatbrook.com/ranked-choice-voting-the-good-the-opaque-the-end-game/
This Article takes issue with a number of the elements of ranked-choice voting,
including the system design, lack of transparency, reliance of reduced preference
votes at 3rd place votes and lower, overall fairness, inability to assess relative
preference and successful candidates with lack of majority support.
3. “The flaw in ranked-choice voting: rewarding extremists”; The Hill; Nathan

possible alternatives to RCV.
4. “Ranked Choice Voting”; Fair Vote, 2024 https://fairvote.org/our-reforms/ranked-

arguments posited in favor of RCV include that it can save money by avoiding
runoffs, it can increase voter participation, increases voter choice, results in
successful candidates with broader voter support, discourages negative
campaigning and can draw a more diverse candidate pool.

Return to Agenda
1 Do you want Skokie to change to the following ranked choice voting system (hereinafter
2 referred to as “RCV”) to elect the Village offices of Mayor, Clerk and Village Trustees
3 beginning with the April 2029 Consolidated Election? RCV would allow voters to rank
4 candidates by preference in voting for each of the offices of Mayor, Clerk and Village
5 Trustees. RCV would eliminate a separate primary election for Mayor, Clerk and Village
6 Trustees. Skokie voters would retain the right to simply vote for one candidate if they
7 choose. The RCV voting and election process for the offices of Mayor, Clerk and each
8 of the four (4) Village Trustees elected by District would be as follows: 1. The candidate
9 for each office who is ranked first by a majority of voters would be elected. 2. If there
10 is no majority winner, the last place candidate would be eliminated and any voter who
11 had that candidate as their top choice would have their vote transferred to their next
12 choice. 3. This process continues for that number of rounds of tabulating votes until a
13 candidate wins by receiving a majority of votes. The RCV voting and election process
14 for the candidates who run for office for the two (2) at-large Trustee seats in the Village
15 of Skokie would be as follows: 1. When a candidate running at-large for the office of
16 Village Trustee is the first choice of more than 1/3rd of voters, the candidate would win.
17 2. If the winning at-large Trustee candidate receives more than 1/3rd of the vote, a part
18 of their vote, equal to the proportion of votes the winning candidate received in excess
19 of 1/3rd, will be counted for the voter’s second choice. 3. If no candidate for at-large
20 Trustee receives more than 1/3rd of the vote or if the above reallocation of the winning
21 candidate’s votes exceeding 1/3rd does not result in a second at-large trustee candidate
22 receiving in excess of 1/3rd of the votes, the last place candidate is eliminated and their
23 vote is counted for their next choice of the remaining candidates. 4. Following the
24 elimination of the last-place candidate, the steps numbered 2, 3 and 4 above are
25 repeated until a second at-large candidate has received more than 1/3rd of the vote (and
26 has the greatest number of votes over 1/3rd if another candidate for the second at-large
27 trustee seat exceeds 1/3rd).

30 SECTION 3: The Election shall be held in the voting precincts and at the polling places
31 established for the Village by the County Clerk of the County of Cook, Illinois (hereinafter
32 “County Clerk”).

34 SECTION 4: Notice of the Election (hereinafter “Notice”) shall be given in accordance
35 with the Election Code of the State of Illinois, 10 ILCS 5/1-1 et seq., (the "Code") by the County
36 Clerk by (i) publishing a Notice not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the
37 Election in a local, community newspaper, having general circulation in the Village, and (ii)

41 SECTION 5: The Village shall also post a copy of the Notice at the principal office of
42 the Village at least 10 days prior to the date of the Election.

SUBJECT: Consideration of Housing Chapter of the Village of Skokie Comprehensive Plan
The Housing Sub-Committee of the Plan Commission recommends the Plan Commission provide a
positive recommendation of the draft of housing chapter to the Village Board. This chapter will
replace the existing chapter of the document.
The Village Board established the Housing Sub-Committee of the Plan Commission to study,
review, discuss and provide recommendations concerning the housing chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan. Comprised of members from several Commissions and Committees in the Village, and
community members in Skokie, Housing Sub-Committee members were appointed by the Village
Board in August 2023. Throughout the process of creating a draft of the housing chapter, the
Housing Sub-Committee:
• Held seven (7) meetings, between October 2023 and May 2024, where committee members
met to revise the current chapter and brainstorm relevant themes for housing in Skokie.
• Organized two community engagement events for public input on the proposed themes and
topics addressed in the housing chapter draft.
• Created and distributed a survey online and in-person at several locations around the Village
to supplement the community engagement meetings. The survey served to inquire about the
public’s opinion on the new themes proposed by the Housing Sub-Committee and the most
relevant issues surrounding housing in Skokie.
With the work done over a span of eight (8) months, along with the community engagement
opportunities, the Housing Sub-Committee finalized the themes and created a final version of the
Housing chapter to present to the Plan Commission on June 6, 2024.

DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
In May of 2023, the Skokie Village Board approved a Resolution establishing a Housing
Sub-Committee of the Plan Commission to study, review, discuss and provide
recommendations concerning the Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The
members of the Housing-Sub Committee were appointed in August of 2023 with the
goal of drafting an updated Housing Chapter that reflects an updated vision toward the
future of housing in Skokie. After six months of meetings and collaboration with the
community, the Sub-Committee has drafted the following document, emphasizing
several important components toward the goals of prospective housing in Skokie.
Housing is an essential community component as well as a life necessity. The Village
aspires to provide a variety of housing types for all demographics and stages of life that
is both inclusive and accessible to all who want to live in Skokie. Increasingly, people
are seeking housing that can accommodate a range of needs. This includes:
● Residents who seek housing for all stages of life – first-time owners/renters,
families, and accessible housing to accommodate older adults and empty
nesters;
● New residents who are welcomed to Skokie from more urban spaces or new
immigrants coming to the United States for the first time – Skokie is recognized
regionally as being proximate to the City of Chicago while maintaining desirable
suburban amenities and services like K-12 schools, parks, and public facilities.
● Residents who want housing that reflect lifestyle choices seek housing that can
be rehabbed or adjusted to suit particular living arrangements (e.g. work-from-
home arrangements, multi-generational housing, or sustainability features that
reduce one’s carbon footprint).
Skokie residents want to live in a suburban community with strong educational
resources, community amenities, access to transportation options, and above all seek
high quality housing.
This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan will include themes and ideas that village
residents and stakeholders found to be the most essential for the development of new
housing. These themes include ideas of attainability, inclusivity, affordability, and
diversity, which signal the changing needs of Skokie residents. This chapter will
examine the future of housing in Skokie; what type and how much housing we and our
neighbors are developing; and other housing activities outlined in the 2020-2025
Consolidated Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and the
Environmental Sustainability Plan (2022).

DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
Skokie’s current housing stock includes single-family homes and multi-family buildings,
both owner- and renter-occupied. It also includes housing specifically supporting older
adults, persons living with disabilities, congregate living facilities (group homes), and
assisted-living facilities.
The majority of homes in Skokie were constructed between 1940 to 1969 during the
postwar boom that occurred in suburban areas across the country (Source: CMAP
Snapshot 2023). As a result, approximately 68% of the housing stock in Skokie is
characterized as being from a period that reflected housing for working families earning
moderate and middle incomes at that time. To meet this demand, the housing was
constructed using both similar building materials as well as similar design styles
resulting in several communities that closely resemble each other (e.g. low-rise brick
housing). More recent housing developments make up 16% of Skokie housing stock,
which is often designed as infill development and is costlier to construct. Much of
Skokie’s older housing stock, while attractive to buyers, has a challenge of meeting the
needs of current market demands. Residents increasingly want more living space for
gathering in outside areas, dedicated home office spaces, rooms that are on single
levels of living to accommodate current or future accessibility needs, and other spaces
that support high-quality living experiences. Approximately 61% of the housing stock in
Skokie is single-family homes (Source: ACS five-year estimates 2017-2021); and there
is a growing interest for other housing options, such as townhomes, multi-family homes,
and even accessory dwelling units (ADUs), that offer other attainable housing options to
meet the needs of current and future Skokie residents.
Vision Statement
The Village seeks to provide a diverse range of housing that addresses the
current housing demand and plans for all future housing demand in Skokie.
This vision is accomplished through four (4) themes:
H1 Community Enhancement – Foster the creation of public spaces that
support a greater sense of community in Skokie’s neighborhoods in and
around residential areas. This encourages walkability, pedestrian-oriented
development and sustainable practices. Promote accessibility in
neighborhoods by guiding developments that include sidewalks, bike lanes,
and safe crosswalks for comfortable and pedestrian-friendly environments.
H2 Promote Housing Type Flexibility – Provide a flexible housing policy that
allows for a greater mix of housing development that is more accessible,
2

DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
attainable for a range of household incomes, and encourages sustainable
practices. Promote a variety of housing types and sizes within village
constraints to meet the housing demand of growing and changing population
demographics.
H3 Reasonable Standards – Provide housing policy that allows for a range of
housing development that caters to the current needs of families in Skokie.
Consider the needs of current Skokie homeowners and promote policy that
protects and assists longtime residents and homeowners.
H4 Reinvest and Retain – Encourage the development and redevelopment of a
variety of housing types through housing policy and development activities.
Support adaptive reuse and modification to existing housing stock.
H1 - Community Enhancement
Foster the creation of public spaces that support a greater sense of community in
Skokie’s neighborhoods in and around residential areas. This encourages walkability,
pedestrian-oriented development and sustainable practices. Promote accessibility in
neighborhoods by guiding developments that include sidewalks, bike lanes, and safe
crosswalks for comfortable and pedestrian-friendly environments.
Community enhancement seeks to create attractive neighborhoods in all parts of
Skokie. In the Village’s previous version of this Chapter, this idea was expressed
through the idea of a “location” theme – the idea of housing being located in areas
where people can benefit from public amenities like transportation, open space,
schools, services, and housing that supports the health and well-being of individuals.
Noted in the discussions for the development of this Chapter is the idea of establishing
stronger neighborhood identities, as is evident in Salem Village and Timber Ridge.
Other areas of Skokie present opportunities to build identity.
Encouraging the creation of neighborhood identity through new investment in areas
surrounding new development or investing in the spaces within existing neighborhoods
creates stronger neighborhoods, greater positive feelings about one’s community, and
establishes more places people want to live. This can be realized through investment in
public and private green spaces and requiring that projects meet high standards of
design and utilize quality materials.
Neighborhood identity and accessibility. Skokie residents are proud of their
community character and place a high value toward creating a “sense of place” in their
3
619144
Return to Agenda
DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
neighborhoods. A sense of place can exist when one feels like a part of their community
and that their community is unique and has an identity. When neighborhoods are
walkable and accessible to parks and other social spaces, it creates opportunities to sit
and relax, eat, socialize, and shop. What brings character to Skokie neighborhoods may
differ from one resident to the next; however, neighborhood character includes a sense
of community and neighborhood identity that provides options for residents of all ages,
abilities, and socioeconomic levels. Overall, these public spaces should strengthen the
connections between people and the spaces they use or live in.
Improve design standards for new construction and significant remodeling. Much
of Skokie’s housing was developed during a time of rapid suburbanization and
construction, utilizing common building materials and design. Looking into the future,
improving design standards and zoning codes to promote more flexibility and unique
expressions of architecture diversity will help create more unique housing throughout
Skokie as properties experience reinvestment. The utilization of form-based code 1 may
also help provide better guidance to create a linked zoning and design standard to
ensure the most attractive projects are advanced to construction.
H2 - Promote Housing Type Flexibility
Provide a flexible housing policy that allows for a greater mix of housing development
that is more accessible, attainable for a range of household incomes, and encourages
sustainable practices. Promote a variety of housing types and sizes within village
constraints to meet the housing demand of growing and changing population
demographics.
Provide a mix of housing options that are accessible and attainable. Although the
population of Skokie has remained relatively constant, the demands of the population
have changed in terms of what type of housing is desired. Skokie is unique in that in
addition to a range of single-family homes and condos, the housing stock also contains
a number of small multi-family homes, such as 2- or 3-flats and townhomes. By
investing in the existing, aging housing stock, residents can remain in place and thrive
in Skokie. When it comes to new housing, it is important to provide a mix of housing
options to accommodate the range of needs of Skokie’s community. This includes
attainable housing for first-time renters/homeowners, families of all sizes, older adults,
empty nesters, and those who would benefit from accessible units.
Allow for flexibility for new development. Flexibility can also be applied to existing
development within the village. By allowing for more accommodating housing policies
1 Form-based code refers to land development that prioritizes the physical form of buildings and their
relationship within the public realm, instead of the emphasis on land use as used in traditional zoning
codes.
4

DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
and codes, it helps Skokie to grow in a way that encompasses the needs of the
community. For example, adaptive reuse practices could allow a former commercial or
office building to be converted into a greater needed use, such as mixed-use or
residential units. More creative development may be encouraged by allowing for more
uses in certain zoning categories. Skokie’s existing housing stock is a valuable asset to
the community; however, many families may feel as though they need more space to
work from home or accommodate their growing family. By providing flexible
development options for homeowners in these districts, residents can further invest in
their home and continue to stay in Skokie and age in place. Standards should promote
and incentivize investment in the existing housing and building stock.
Adaptive Reuse. There is limited opportunity for redevelopment because Skokie
contains no undeveloped land. One method that allows developers to breathe life into
unused buildings or spaces is called adaptive reuse. Adaptive reuse, or building reuse,
refers to the repurposing of an existing structure for a new use, converting it into
something useful for the surrounding area. Commercial retail, for example, has
dramatically changed since the time when many shopping centers were built. By
allowing the conversion of vacant commercial properties into a higher needed use, such
as housing, the community benefits from the revitalization. Some advantages that
adaptive reuse has over brand-new development is that they often have lower
construction costs, quicker construction timelines, and are popular with communities
interested in preserving unique or important landmarks. By finding opportunities for
adaptive reuse and keeping alignment with other approved plans, sections of Skokie
could be re-invented with new opportunities.
Zoning Code updates. Along with the Housing Chapter Update, existing portions of the
Zoning and Building code will be reviewed, as it is possible that there are sections in the
code that inhibit or deter housing development in areas where housing may be
appropriate. This will serve to allow more housing options in areas that provide robust
public transportation options and have the potential to create walkable communities
within business and mixed-use districts. Reviewing and making changes to the Zoning
and Building code allows the opportunity for a mix of housing types, like Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs).
H-3 Reasonable Standards
Provide housing policy that allows for a range of housing development that caters to the
current needs of families in Skokie. Consider the needs of current Skokie homeowners
and promote policy that protects and assists longtime residents and homeowners.
Provide transparent guidelines and standards to existing homeowners. The ability
to create a home that is customized for households of all sizes and needs is something
5
619144
Return to Agenda
DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
that residents have voiced as of high importance. The Village can partner with
homeowners to support them with personalizing their homes to fit their needs. This
includes:
● Ensuring that sustainable and high-quality developments are built
● Fostering a transparent and easy process to modify homes
● Upholding Skokie’s enforcement of Fair Housing. Skokie’s Commitment to
Fair Housing began in 1967 with the establishment of a Fair Housing
Ordinance, which stated that all persons shall be assured full and equal
opportunities to obtain fair and adequate housing for themselves and their
families within the village without discrimination.
Consider sustainable and resilient policies and standards. Extreme weather and
climate change are increasingly a more common experience in Skokie. Ensuring that
the village’s housing is positioned to adapt to more sustainable and resilient practices
(e.g. utilization of native plantings instead of turf, making homes solar ready, and other
sustainable measures).
H4- Reinvest and Retain
Encourage the development and redevelopment of a variety of housing types through
housing policy and development activities. Support adaptive reuse and modification to
existing housing stock. Support of new housing developments should prioritize design
integration with surrounding neighborhoods at both scale, building bulk, materials, and
other aesthetics. New developments should bring greater housing diversity to
neighborhoods.
Building for today’s housing needs. Neighborhood character can exist at an
individual home level, creating a sense of comfort and accommodation for all residents.
Skokie has a variegated housing stock and therefore community and neighborhood
character should be able to reflect the needs of residents. Much of Skokie’s housing
stock may have been built at a time when smaller homes were more common, creating
barriers for larger or multigenerational households who need more space. Creating
options for internal or external accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or other custom
modifications could accommodate the needs of residents and allow them to age in place
and remain in Skokie.
There is a strong desire for residents’ homes to meet or exceed their expectations on
lifestyle and family needs, in hopes of creating a long-lasting home. When building new
housing, one tactic helpful for all households is incorporating Universal Design
standards. The term Universal Design refers to design that’s usable by all people, to the
greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.
6
619144
Return to Agenda
DRAFT — CHAPTER 6 - HOUSING
Examples of these design standards include better lighting, wider doorways, and
hallways that are more accessible utilizing level thresholds. By building homes designed
for all people, we ensure they are functional for people with any type of impairment of
the body or mind while ensuring that the design is useful for everyone. Building homes
and investing in a community for the future also should include high-quality sustainable
building practices and high-quality standards so that the home is long-lasting.
Residents who want to age in place near or with their families may need homes that are
larger or have internal or external accessory dwelling units to accommodate these
changing life phases. Skokie is a culturally diverse community, which creates a need for
different styles of households that may want to live together under one roof or nearby.
The ability to reasonably enhance one’s home is an important topic that community
members have expressed, allowing households to create a unique and accommodating
living experience in Skokie.
CONCLUSION:
There are several aspects that make Skokie a desirable place to call home. As the
Village of Skokie continues to be a growing and diverse community, the need for
adaptable, attainable, and varied housing has become more and more important. While
community members find themselves residing in homes built in the 1950s and 1960s,
they also desire to make investments in their homes today. The future of housing in
Skokie will need to be flexible to accommodate community needs for households of all
sizes and income levels.
Looking forward, Skokie is committed to accommodating its ever-evolving population
and remaining in tune with the future of housing. This means staying true to its
commitments from the past while also understanding current needs and desires to
ensure a viable community into the future.

CHAPTER 6 – HOUSING
Housing is a place where people live. It includes detached single family homes,
attached single family homes (townhouses), and multifamily buildings, whether owner-
or renter-occupied. It can also include housing for the elderly and disabled, congregate
living facilities (group homes), and assisted-living facilities.
Because almost every bit of land in Skokie has been developed at least once, we need
to wisely consider how and where we live. This chapter will examine how housing fits
into the direction we set for the Village in Chapter 4, what type and how much housing
we and our neighbors are developing, and other housing activities outlined in the 2005-
2009 Consolidated Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.
HOUSING AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO OUR DIRECTION
In Chapter 4, we set the direction for housing. What we will do in this chapter is take
those ideas and change them into more detailed housing policies. The policies will
guide future land use and zoning decisions and set the framework to turn our direction
into reality. The broad concepts directing our planning are at the beginning of each
section and are labeled H1, H2, etc. and are then described in greater detail. We will
look at each of those housing directions one at a time.
Accessibility
Housing accessibility is simply the degree in which housing should be available to
different people needing shelter. Rising housing prices have made us begin to think
about who can afford different kinds of housing. We obviously cannot provide housing
for all the millions of people in Chicagoland, but the community survey data we
collected when developing our direction in Chapter 4, recent state laws involving
affordability, fair housing laws, and good land use planning provides us some guidance
to develop good accessibility policies.
Accessibility – Because lack of accessible housing impacts employers who
need access to entry level employees, public sector employees who are
unable to live in the communities they serve, parents and families who
spend more time commuting to employment, and seniors, single-parent
H1 families, and young people who struggle to find homes that they can afford,
we will be conscientious of these impacts when making land use decisions
and policies and work to maintain, and when appropriate enhance, the
amount of housing accessible to these groups in the Village.

Return to Agenda
Understanding Accessibility
1. Housing, beyond its usual function as shelter, is also a function of employment and
economic development. If employers cannot find a workforce willing to work at a
particular location for a certain wage, they have to increase wages to lure potential
employees, driving up labor costs and decreasing profits. Therefore, companies
locate in areas that have a labor pool with adequate work skills willing to work for
them at a cost that allows the business to make a reasonable profit. Since most
households spend the largest portion of their paycheck on housing, the more
expensive the mortgage or rental cost, the more money people need for housing. If
cost accessible housing is too far away, then a lot of time and cost is spent getting
to and from work, adding to the cost of labor. The bottom line … if it takes too long
to get there and the pay is not high enough then many people won’t be willing to
work there. However, less time spent traveling or lower mortgage or rent expenses
may make people consider a job for a little less pay, since they need a little less
money to be just as economically well-off.
2. You may ask, “Are the planners arguing for people to get paid less?” Not at all, but
we understand a basic conflict in economic needs. Many people want to make high
wages, but want to spend as little as possible for goods and services. Paying less
for retail goods and services usually means lower wages for employees making and
selling those products. We like our discount clothing and housewares stores, the
sales at upper-end retailers, the convenience of the 24-hour grocery store or the
drive-through bank, and getting served at a restaurant with everything being taken
away and cleaned-up for us at the end of the meal … and we want it all close to our
homes or workplaces. Our time is valuable, after all. Where do these sales clerks,
middle managers, stockers, cashiers, waiters live? Where will they live if housing
costs keep rising faster than wages? How much are you willing to pay for that
dress, haircut, dinner out, movie, or head of lettuce? There needs to be a balance.
3. People who have less skills or experience usually are paid less than those with more
skills and experience. Even doctors, computer programmers, accountants, and PhDs
start out as interns, assistants, or clerks – and with lots of college debt, too. These
employees are the lifeblood of 21st century companies and the workers that will be
trained and sustain the economy as more and more baby boomers retire. A portion
of the Village’s housing needs to be accessible to entry-level professionals and
young singles and families just starting out, too.
4. There is another thing people don’t want to pay a lot for – taxes! But, you know,
taxes pay for jobs, too … jobs like teachers, police officers, emergency workers,
clinic nurses, garbage haulers, sewage treatment plant technicians, librarians, and
many others. Many local government employees have been asked (usually by a
#84951 v2 - Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Housing Approved by the Village Board 1/3/2005
6-2
Return to Agenda
complaining resident), “Do you live here?” It seems to be important to these
residents that the people providing local government services are local themselves.
But can these employees afford to live here?
5. There are many people who have lived in Skokie a very long time, some even all
their lives. Many of these people want to continue to live in Skokie for many more
years. Some grew up here, left, and now want to return, and others whose children
may have grow up and left, want to stay in Skokie. There is also a broad spectrum
of households beyond the nuclear family of a married couple with children, too:
single parents and one-income families, younger singles and new two-income
families, aging seniors, and large or multigenerational families. Accessibility also
means having the right kind of housing for different kinds of households. What kind
of housing do these households want? Are we providing it?
6. As a policy, the Village will take these factors into consideration when making
decisions about uses that involve housing. The Village is also committed to keeping
housing accessible and, when we can, improve upon it.
Here is an interesting exercise. Table 6.1 shows the average home value in Skokie
from July 2002 to June 2003 (2003) adjusted for Chicago area inflation for different
years. Think back to the year you moved to Skokie. How much money did you make
and how much housing could you afford? Would you and your family have been able to
afford to move here at today’s inflation adjusted prices? How accessible would housing
have been for someone like you when you moved to Skokie if you had to move here
now?

Choice
Housing choice is about the diversity of housing available. Choice is not just about
price. It is about the physical forms of buildings and how they are arranged. It is
about different groups of people wanting different types of housing and whether or not
that housing is available.
Choice – With increasing housing costs, growing diversity in age and
income, and lifestyle changes that impact our housing needs, we will provide
H2 and enhance choice in terms of style, structure, and price so that local and
regional demand for housing can be met.
Understanding Choice
1. Style in housing is a broad concept that we will limit to the way housing looks in
form and appearance. People like different styles of housing, and to maintain a
housing stock that appeals broadly to many different tastes, we should encourage a
mix of housing styles that reflects the market demand for housing. Limiting the
style of homes will force some buyers into other housing markets, reduce the
demand for Skokie housing, and may limit the future housing values.
2. Structure refers to the actual type of building. There are detached single family
units typically referred to as “houses” and attached single family houses like
duplexes and townhomes that are attached side by side. There are also all types of
multifamily units that are also attached to one another above, below, or both.
Different people value different aspects of different structural arrangements of
housing – the levels of maintenance, noise, privacy, energy efficiency, and price are
just a few. Having a broad range of building types increases the appeal of Skokie
housing to a broader range of buyers and allows current Skokie residents the option
to stay in Skokie as their housing needs and values change throughout their lives. A
private yard may be a value to an avid gardener or a family with children but a
maintenance burden to an older person or a family with a busy lifestyle.
3. Just as housing tastes and preferences change at different stages of people’s lives,
so do their economic situations and their desire to use a certain amount of housing.
Price goes beyond affordability and includes personal preference. Some may want
to purchase more housing with either more space or a higher level of amenities and
spend less on other things, such as health care, transportation, or entertainment.
Others may want to purchase less housing with a lower level of amenities and spend
more on other things. Housing should be available at different price levels in order
to allow people to choose the amount of housing they might want to purchase.

Location
We have looked at our ability to get housing and what housing we have to choose
from. Now we will discuss where to locate it. As land becomes available for
redevelopment, we need some basic guidelines about whether housing might be an
appropriate reuse at that location.
Location – Since more people should benefit from public goods such as
transportation, open space, recreation, employment, schools and services
H3 and less people should be impacted by negative externalities such as noise
and odors, we will seek to locate more housing near public goods and less
housing near negative externalities.
Understanding Location
1. With an almost fully developed community, the decision to locate housing at a
particular location should be, first, “Is this the right place for people to live?” and,
second, “How many people should live here?”
2. More housing should be located near more transportation – train stations, interstate
highway interchanges, and major roads. Higher intensity uses should be located at
these locations and less intense uses should be located away from these uses. It
might be surprising, but the reason for this is only partly about traffic. Multifamily
uses produce less car trips per unit than detached single family and most
commercial uses. It is also about time spent traveling. It is better to provide the
time savings and access to more people rather than less people.
3. The same concept applies to recreation, open space, employment, and services.
Again, it is more reasonable to place more people next to the park, school, or
grocery store and not reserve close proximity to those places for a few. Having
more people closer to these places also has a much greater impact on reducing the
time cars are on the road and reduces total traffic. Some people might not even get
into a car at all to make the trip!
4. Negative externalities are things that are produced by an activity that have a
negative impact on something else. Noise, pollution, traffic, and odors might be
negative externalities that affect residential uses. Multifamily housing should NEVER
be a “buffer” between a negative externality and something else … like detached
single family houses. If housing is to be located next to a negative externality that
is not balanced by a positive benefit, isn’t it a better land use policy to expose less
people (in houses) to the negative externality rather than more people (in a
condominium or apartment)? This means more people by the train station or
#84951 v2 - Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Housing Approved by the Village Board 1/3/2005
6-5
Return to Agenda
interchange, and less people by the train track or highway without the train station
or interchange.
5. One last thing … many of the location decisions for new housing are not necessarily
easy to determine. Maybe the site has good employment access but is also in a
high traffic area, or the site is adjacent to a park or school but near occasional odors
from a sewage treatment plant. In these circumstances, the positives and negative
have to be weighed accordingly.
To sum it up simply … if a change is to occur, put more housing by the good things,
less housing by the bad things.
Change in Development Patterns
As time passes, Skokie’s housing ages, employment moves around the region,
technology impacts the way we move around, communicate, play, and work, and our
preferences (and tolerances) change. The demand for different uses also changes. For
housing, the quality and amenities provided by our housing stock, economic factors,
demographic shifts, the impact of changes in the transportation and employment
networks, and tax policies all affect the demand for housing. Most residential areas will
remain residential, but if a current site that is not housing becomes available for
redevelopment and the location might be appropriate for housing, should the land use
change to housing? Maybe, yes. Maybe, no. Maybe, yes and no.
Change in Development Patterns – A community that is not in growth
or renewal is in decline, and as such, provision should be made to allow for
the appropriate renewal of housing so that the housing stock remains in
demand to protect the value of neighborhoods, provides increased
H4 opportunities for greater numbers of people to benefit from public goods,
and does not have an overall negative impact on other cornerstones of the
Village’s economic health – employment, a diversified tax base, and places
to buy goods and services.
Understanding Change in
Development Patterns
1. As the existing housing stock ages, provisions should be made to maintain, improve,
upgrade, and replace existing housing to provide new housing that appeals to a
broad population. Not providing for this renewal of housing limits the potential
market of buyers and decreases demand for the current housing stock.
2. Land that is not being used for residential uses should only be converted to a solely
residential use if it is determined that the site cannot support the non-residential
#84951 v2 - Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Housing Approved by the Village Board 1/3/2005

Return to Agenda
uses. Vacancy is not necessarily support for changing a non-residential use. Is it
really that there is no longer a demand for the non-residential use at the location, or
could it be that there is a problem with the layout, design, age, or functionality of
the building? Is it real market forces driving the change or is private profit, tax
considerations, or some other reason driving the decision? If there would be a
viable building on the site that would be used for commercial, employment, or
research and development purposes, would the site be a viable business or service
location?
3. When confronted with two truths, it may be best to choose both. For sites that
have the amenities to attract both residential and non-residential uses, maybe the
best solution is to include both uses. Residential-retail, residential-service, and
residential-employment mixes are again becoming economically viable. Adding
residential to a non-functional commercial use while replacing the commercial space
with a better designed, modern space allows the Village to efficiently meet multiple
Village needs.
4. The Village’s current property tax policy of keeping its portion of the property tax
levy constant from year to year requires tax revenues other than property taxes for
monetary sustenance. Replacing land uses that had produced or could produce
sales taxes or other non-property tax revenue with solely residential uses decreases
the Village of Skokie’s revenue since there is no corresponding increase in property
taxes. The other taxing bodies would realize an economic benefit from any change
that produces a net increase in taxable portion of the assessed value of the
property, especially if the new use does not produce a need for services. For
example, in Skokie, multifamily condominium occupants include few school-aged
children needing to be educated relative to the increased tax revenue to the school
districts. Therefore, residential mixed uses and multifamily condominium
developments are more likely to produce a long-term positive income stream for the
school districts.
5. Also, the current Cook County property tax assessment system places a higher
taxable value on commercial and industrial land. Changing a commercial or
industrial use to a solely residential use might reduce the total property taxes
collected, unless the new residential building is, at minimum, 2¼ times the current
assessed value, and probably much more when residential property tax exemptions
are considered. Preserving a commercial or employment use as part of a
development keeps revenue high, the tax coffers fuller, and services and jobs
available for our residents. These are just a few reasons why mixing uses, when
possible, is important for the Village’s long-term economic health.
There are many factors to consider when changing the use of land, but with proper
policies in place, rational land use decisions can be made.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2024-16P: Special Use Permit
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM July 15, 2024
To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairman
Case: 2024-16P: Special Use Permit
8266 Lincoln Avenue
PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its June 6, 2024, meeting, the Plan Commission heard the request of RPL Lincoln,
LLC, for a special use permit to operate a child day care, not in a residence, at 8266
Lincoln Avenue, in a TX Transit Mixed-Use zoning district. Guidepost Montessori, which
intends to operate out of a new two-story building, will accommodate a total of 151
children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years old. There will be 17 total staff
members including teachers and administrators. The day care hours of operation will be
from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The drop-off arrival window is from
7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and the pick-up departure window is from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
The site will provide 3 spaces in the front designated for drop-off and pick-up and 7 on-
site parking spaces in the rear of the building off of the alley accessible on Laramie
Avenue. The location provides nearby street parking and is served by Pace Bus route
210 on Lincoln Avenue. Although the day care will serve up to 151 children, that does
not mean that there will be 151 individual daily trips for pick-ups and drop-offs. The
petitioner shared that many parents are dropping off more than one child at a time and
found this to be true at other Guidepost Montessori locations in neighboring
communities, which helps alleviate some of the traffic congestion for the site.
Staff requested to amend the staff report to reflect a change in the first special use
condition regarding the payment into the parking fund. Staff is not requiring the fee-in-
lieu payment into the parking fund prior to the hearing before the Board of Trustees,
but rather prior to issuance of building permits. Staff would not require payment into
the Parking Fund before approval from the board.
Commissioners shared concerns about major traffic congestion on Lincoln Avenue due
to the volume of staff and children that will occupy the day care in relation to the
number of parking spaces and pick-up/drop-off zones that are provided on-site. The
petitioner went into detail about Guidepost Montessori’s operational plans and how they
intend to manage pick-up and drop-off for this location. With pick-up and drop-off
windows spread out over two and a half (2.5) hours in the morning, from 7:30 AM to
9:00 AM, and 3 hours in the evenings, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, staff will be able to
manage efficient drop-offs and dismissals without creating significant congestion on
Lincoln Avenue and parents are given flexibility on the hours they can pick-up and drop-
off their child. With the available on- and off-street parking and Pace Bus route 210 that
serves Lincoln Avenue, the petitioner noted that sufficient parking will be provided for
parents dropping off and picking up their kids and staff would be accommodated. The
VOSDOCS‐#619922‐v1‐Master_Plan_Commission_Report_2024‐16P_8266_Lincoln_Avenue

petitioner referred to other Guidepost Montessori locations in Chicago and nearby
communities to point out additional factors that alleviate traffic congestion/ such as
families dropping off more than one child at a time and staggered pick-up and drop-off
times.
One commissioner asked if She Appearance Commission had reviewed the case. Staff
replied that the Appearance Commission had not reviewed the case prior to the Plan
Commission meeting on June 6/ but will be required to receive a Certificate of
Appropriateness from the Appearance Commission due to the construction of a new
building. The commissioner asked if the item of relief/ from code section 118-184(c)(6)
regarding the minimum 50% window coverage of buildings on retail streets between 2
and 12 feet above grade/ would be preempting the Appearance Commission by deciding
on the design of the building facade before their review. Staff noted that the Board of
Trustees would make the fina! decisions on the recommendations from the Plan
Commission and the Appearance Commission and that this relief code section is
Intended to provide another level of privacy and safety for the children at the day care
and is intended to have a functional aspect for the use proposed at this location. The
requested relief from code section 118-184(c)(6) would not be preempting the
Appearance Commission.
The Plan Commission concurred with the Staff's recommendation to grant the special
use permit/ subject to the conditions.
INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted/ advertised/ and delivered to al! property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding the case.
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
At its July 10th/ 2024 meeting/ the Appearance Commission reviewed building elevations
for the proposed daycare at 8266 Lincoln Avenue. Revised elevations were presented at
the meeting and approved with conditions of increasing the height of the front elevation
windows to line up with the top of the front entrance/ enhancing the front elevation by
incorporating brick shading/ and adding signage or artwork within the front elevation
above the front entrance. A Certificate of Appropriateness was awarded by the
Appearance Commission.
PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
The Plan Commission recommends by a vote of 5 ayes and 0 nays, with 3
Commissioners absent and 1 vacancy/ that the petitioner's request for a special use
permit to operate a child day care not in a residence at 8266 Lincoln Avenue in a TX

STAFF ANALYSIS
Petitioner's Submitta!
RPL Lincoln/ LLC is requesting approval for a special use permit for a child day care not
in a residence/ and any relief discovered during the review of this case.
The petitioner submitted the following statement:
The proposed hours of operation are from 7:00am to 6:00pm - Monday through
Friday. The staff typically arrives from 7:00am - 7:30am to prepare for children's
drop-off and arrivals. Although the facl!ity closes at 6:00pm/ the facility will
occasionally remain open for evening activities such as routine after-hours
administrative duties/ parent meetings/ teacher/professionai development/ and
community activities.
The following is a sample schedule with key arrival and departure time ranges
identified. Early arrivals (pre-care) and late pickups (extended care) are part of
our standard tuition package/ and our families are not penalized for utilizing the
following wide range of drop-off and pick-up windows.

dismissals that further spread out the afternoon pickups. At other campuses/
Guidepost Montessori generally experiences a steady flow of arrivals and
departures throughout the drop-off and pick-up time zones that does not cause
parking lot congestion or the need for traffic mitigation. The parking layout will
provide parking spaces behind the building along the alley. There are also
designated loading spaces in front to be used as pick-up and drop-off spaces.
There is ample street parking available along Lincoln and along Laramie which
allows for parents or guardians to park/ walk their children into
the facility/ where each child is checked into an electronic (SmartCare) system.
The parent or guardian then returns to their car. The process happens in reverse
for pick up. The day-care will serve up to (151) children/ from infant through six-
years old. Guidepost Montessori intends to have approximately (17) staff
members/ including teachers and administrators. There will be (1) NIDO class of
9 (infants)/ (1) YOUNG TODDLERS classroom with 10 kids (15-23 months)/ (3)
TODDLERS classrooms with 42 kids (2-3-year-old)/ (3) CHILDREN HOUSE
classrooms with 90 kids (3~6-year-old) along with a rooftop playground
Comments
Staff Comment and Review sheets were sent to ail pertinent departments. Staff
comments on the subject case were received from the Traffic Engineering Division and
the Planning Department. Forestry and Civil Engineering submitted comments regarding
required permitting. All other departments returned the sheets with no comments.
Traffic Engineering
Concerns
The comments below are in reference to the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) submitted in a
previous review. A revised TIS was not submitted with the revised site plan and the
initial comments have not changed. Staff has concerns over the outdated Traffic Impact
Study as it may show inaccuracies with the stated traffic counts and the suggested
Tick-Up and Drop-off Evaluation". Changes to the Site Plan/ submitted on Aprii 30,
2024, inciuding net floor area/ reduce the intensity of the use and alters the off-street
parking requirement for the site. A revised Traffic Impact Study is highly suggested to
get a more accurate reading of the potential traffic congestion surrounding the site and
use.
Although the Traffic Impact Study reflects the previous site plan/ Traffic Engineering's
main concern from the previous study is the stated 59% probabiiity that one to three
vehicles will be in queue for pick-up and drop-off. Any vehicles waiting to use the
loading zone spaces Is not desirable as it can spill into blocking driveways and spill into
the intersection of Madison St/Lincoin Ave. Madison Elementary utilizes this intersection
for pick-up and drop-off. 56 drop-off vehicles were used for the analysis.

Planning Division
The Planning Division reviewed the site plan dated March 21, 2024, and the floor plan
dated March 21, 2024. The existing vacant building (formerly Curragh Irish Pub) wil! be
razed and replaced by a child day care center.
Guidepost Montessori for Early Childhood Development is a day care provider for
children between the ages of 6 weeks to 6 years old. The day care will serve up to 151
children and will have approximately 17 total staff members. Year-round hours of
operation will be from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The fully-
sprinkiered building will have 8 classrooms/ an outdoor rooftop deck with a playground/
and an additional playground area located at the rear of the building near the parking
lot. The building also includes a kitchen/ storage rooms/ and a staff area.
The parking requirement for a child day care not in a residence use is 2.0 spaces for
each 1,000 sq. ft. Staff has determined that the total net floor area of the proposed
building to be approximately 11/300 square feet/ requiring a total of approximately 23
parking spaces/ however on!y 7 parking spaces are provided on-site. A variation cannot
be applied because the property is in a mixed-use zone. If approved (as is) the
applicant would need to pay $339/000 into the parking fund per section 118-218(7)(e).
If the proposed use changes, the site will be subject to a new off-street parking
requirement.
After reviewing the most recent site plans and floor plans, Staff has determined the
following items of relief:
1. The minimum required side yard for a building not abutting a residential district
in the TX zoning district Is 6 feet when a side yard is provided. The site plan
shows two side yards/ both of which are less than 6 feet in width. Relief will be
required; site plans show two 5/ side yards.
2. With the alley functioning as fche driveway to access the parking spaces/ an aisie
width of 24' is required for 90-degree parking spaces (118-212(a)(l)). Relief will
be required/ the site plan does not show the 4/ dedication/ and the 16/ wide
public alley remains.
3. Since 8266 Lincoln Avenue is in a Retail Street/ here are some additional building
regulations to follow:
Building elevation plans show a first-floor height of 13' 4. Section 118-
184 (c)(2) will be needed to provide a minimum flrst-floor height of 15
feet from grade to second story finished floor level on a Retail street.
-118-184 (c)(6) At least 50% of the wall area that is between 2 and 12

- 118-184 (c)(7) At least 25% of the wall area between 3 and 8 feet from
the finished floor level of upper stones shall consist of glass for all non-
residence uses.
Staff has no objections to the requested relief. Previously/ relief for code section
118-212(i)(10) was requested to provide a 3f"wide waikway at the rear of the
building or structure behind which aisle parking is provided rather than the 5/
minimum. However/ Section 118-212(11) of the Village zoning code allows the 3'
walkway in the rear of the building where aisle parking is provided under the
following circumstances:
a. Where any parking area has direct access to the parking stalls from an alley
and is aiso located directly to the rear of the building; and
b. Where the sidewalk abutting the parking area or which provides access to the
building from the parking area is not in conflict with vehicular traffic maneuvers/
including backup maneuvers.
The site pian shows the off-street parking layout and waikway in accordance with
code section 118-212(11), therefore no longer requiring this item of relief.
