Mayor‬ ‭Gunter & Clerk Szymski. Staff: Manager May, Chief Gunther, Director Mielcarski,‬ ‭Assistant Parker, Director Altic, Director Hennerfeind, Director Ries, Director Liljeberg,‬ ‭Director Brainerd, Director McIntyre, Chief Riley, Deputy Chief Frank, Deputy Chief‬ ‭Fitzgerald, and various staff members of the Fire Department.‬ ‭III.‬ ‭PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE‬ ‭IV.‬ ‭PUBLIC COMMENTS - None‬ ‭V.‬ ‭MINUTES‬ ‭A.‬ ‭Approval of the January 9, 2025 meeting minutes of‬‭the Administration and‬ ‭Finance Committee. Motion to approve Trustee Guzzo, 2nd by Trustee Barry; all‬ ‭ayes.‬ ‭VI.‬ ‭UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None‬ ‭VII.‬ ‭NEW BUSINESS‬ ‭A.‬ ‭Fire Department Awards Ceremony and Year-End Report:‬‭The Westmont‬ ‭Fire Department presented their 2024 awards, recognizing three life-saving‬ ‭awards and naming Patrick Lenzi as Firefighter of the Year. The year-end‬ ‭report highlighted record staffing levels, increased call volume, significant‬ i‭ncidents like a fuel spill and a nursing home fire, and extensive training‬ i‭nitiatives. Lenzi, the Firefighter of the Year, expressed gratitude for the‬ ‭peer nomination and encouraged continued dedication.‬‭(see attachments)‬ ‭B.‬ ‭Building Code Text Amendments:‬ ‭The Fire Prevention‬‭Bureau Director,‬ ‭Neil Burkowitz, presented the proposed text amendments to the building‬ ‭fire code. These changes included relaxing concrete requirements for‬ ‭building construction types under certain conditions, modifying sprinkler‬ ‭system requirements, and aligning the board of appeals process with‬ ‭community development. They clarified exceptions for mixed-use‬ ‭occupancies to maintain safety standards. The amendments aim to‬ i‭mprove consistency, facilitate easier construction, and maintain safety.‬ ‭Director Burkowitz stated the amendments are in line with our neighboring‬ ‭communities' current practices. (see attached)‬ ‭C.‬ ‭Fire Sprinkler Advocacy:‬‭Eric Hoffer, executive director‬‭of the Northern‬ ‭Illinois Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board, emphasized the benefits of fire‬ Page 3 of 65 ‭sprinklers. They highlighted increased safety for residents and firefighters,‬ ‭reduced insurance costs, and protection of sales tax revenue. Hoffer‬ ‭noted that Westmont has been proactive in requiring sprinklers in new‬ ‭homes and is progressing towards broader implementation. They cited‬ ‭several recent incidents where sprinklers prevented significant damage.‬ ‭D.‬ ‭Village Purchasing Policy Discussion:‬ ‭Finance Director‬‭Allen Altic‬ ‭presented a new village purchasing policy, which formalizes existing‬ ‭practices and provides a written framework for procurement. The policy‬ ‭outlines guidelines for obtaining quotes from vendors, establishes‬ ‭thresholds for different bidding processes, addresses emergency‬ ‭purchases and joint purchasing, details the formal bid process including‬ ‭criteria for selecting the "responsible bidder", and outlines procedures for‬ ‭change orders. They emphasized the policy aligns with neighboring‬ ‭communities' best practices and benefits grant applications and credit‬ ‭ratings. (see attached)‬ ‭a.‬ ‭Local Purchasing Preferences:‬ ‭Trustee Barry asked‬‭about the‬ ‭practice of prioritizing local businesses for village purchases. A‬ ‭previous informal "10% rule" favored local vendors if their bids were‬ ‭within 10% of the lowest bid. Concerns were raised about potential‬ ‭drawbacks, such as higher prices from local vendors who know the‬ ‭village's budget. Alternatives suggested include awarding bonus‬ ‭points for local businesses in RFPs, focusing on criteria beyond just‬ ‭price, or establishing guidelines based on the type of goods and the‬ ‭availability of local vendors. They agreed that striking a balance‬ ‭between supporting local businesses and ensuring competitive‬ ‭pricing is important.‬ ‭E.‬ ‭IT Policies:‬ ‭Director Liljeberg explained that‬‭the IT policies are on‬ ‭the agenda are the 1st five of over 20 that will need to be put in place this‬ ‭year due to cyber insurance requirements and a grant we have applied for‬ i‭s requiring.‬ ‭F. Sales Tax Initiatives:‬ ‭Manager May addressed‬‭the implementation‬ ‭of a new grocery sales tax and a non-home rule sales tax increment.‬ ‭These measures aim to address the state's withdrawal from administering‬ ‭the grocery sales tax and provide additional funding, potentially for the fire‬ ‭station.‬ ‭The potential loss of sales tax revenue from Tesla due to their sales‬ ‭occurring outside of Westmont was also discussed.‬ ‭The sales tax increase as it offers a significant revenue increase,‬ ‭potentially around $2 million, and the opportunity to collect it earlier by‬ ‭meeting the July 1st deadline. There was discussion of transparency and‬ ‭communication to the public about the reasoning behind the tax increase.‬ Page 4 of 65 ‭A concern about the potential to rescind the tax was raised, but it was‬ ‭deemed possible, subject to further investigation. The possibility of‬ i‭nvesting the revenue earned before its use for the fire station was‬ ‭discussed and deemed permissible.‬ ‭a.‬ ‭Fire Station Funding and Construction:‬‭Mayor Gunter‬‭touched upon‬ ‭the upcoming discussion regarding the fire station building. They‬ ‭anticipated receiving three construction proposals with cost‬ ‭estimates. They acknowledged the potential for increased‬ ‭construction costs due to recent events like the California fires and‬ ‭ongoing trade issues. The importance of considering long-term‬ ‭needs in the design was emphasized.‬ i‭.‬ ‭Trustee Guzzo started a discussion about the timeline for‬ ‭decisions and the possibility of delaying the project to allow‬ ‭for stabilization of building material prices.‬ ‭VIII.‬ ‭REPORTS‬ ‭A.‬ ‭Committee Chairperson‬‭-‬‭None‬ ‭B.‬ ‭Village Manager‬ ‭■‬ ‭Annexation update:‬ ‭Plats are done and we are on target‬ ‭for April. Discussion with Willowbrook and Darien are ongoing.‬ ‭■‬ ‭Economic Development Update:‬‭A developer’s report‬ i‭ndicated that the cost of building materials is decreasing, which‬ ‭was considered positive news. They also discussed ongoing‬ ‭annexations and boundary agreements with neighboring‬ ‭communities.‬ ‭IX.‬ ‭MISCELLANEOUS -‬‭None‬ ‭X.‬ ‭ADJOURN‬ ‭Motion by Nero and second by Barker‬ ‭(next meeting is scheduled for February 20, 2025)‬ Page 5 of 65 ‭Village of Westmont‬ ‭Administration & Finance Committee‬ ‭Staff Reports - 2025-02-20‬ ‭Village Manager‬ ‭●‬ ‭100 days‬ ‭●‬ ‭Northern Illinois Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board - Erik Hoffer, Executive Director‬ ‭●‬ ‭Non-HR Sales Tax - Timing‬ ‭●‬ ‭Involuntary Annexations - Status‬ ‭Economic Development‬ ‭This is a list of projects that are in discussion‬‭in Westmont as of February 2025‬ ‭Downtown Westmont Central Business District‬ ‭●‬ ‭West Quincy Streetscape Project - Planning for Phase 2 Underway‬ ‭●‬ ‭1 North Cass - Sentinel Station Project Proposal - TBD‬ ‭●‬ ‭34 North Cass - Beauty & the Baker Retail Project - Status TBD‬ ‭●‬ ‭42 North Cass - Izakaya Tokyo Restaurant Project - Opening Spring 2025‬ ‭●‬ ‭124 North Cass - L Boutique & Spa - Opening Winter 2025‬ ‭●‬ ‭140 North Cass - Westmont Legal Services - Opened January 2024‬ ‭●‬ ‭216 North Cass - Salon Four - Opening Winter 2025‬ ‭●‬ ‭413 North Cass Avenue - Townhome Project Proposed‬ ‭●‬ ‭17 East Chicago - Urban Tri-Gear Expansion - Opening TBD‬ ‭●‬ ‭27 East Chicago - Amalgam Martial Academy‬ ‭●‬ ‭98 East Chicago - Day Care & Preschool Proposed‬ ‭South Westmont Business District‬ ‭●‬ ‭233 West 63rd Street - Westmont Yard - Outdoor activity area addition - Opening Spring 2025‬ ‭North Westmont Business Development‬ ‭●‬ ‭750 Pasquinelli Drive - Expression Dance Studio Relocation - Opening Summer of 2025‬ ‭●‬ ‭600 Oakmont Lane - 1440 Event Design - Opening Winter 2025‬ ‭●‬ ‭601 Oakmont Lane - Potential Grammar School Site‬ ‭●‬ ‭Westmont Water Tower at CUSD 201 WHS site - In permit‬ ‭●‬ ‭822 East Ogden Avenue - Bowie Barker - Opening Winter 2025‬ ‭●‬ ‭639 N.

Highlighted information directs or summarizes the suggested change. SUGGESTED CHANGES ●​ Municipal Code Section 18-62(20) - Sec. 706.1 General, add the following: "The provisions of this requirement shall apply to all uses and construction types as regulated by the 2021 International Building Code, except single family detached and duplex use/construction. The fire resistance rating of primary structural elements, as defined by the 2021 International Building Code (including outside walls and floors: but that a roof not supporting anything above need only be rated one hour up to a point tent feet from the interior edge of the outside wall), and tenant separation or party walls, shall be a minimum two hours, except that the required minimum fire resistance rating and tenant separation or party wall shall be a minimum of one hour for all occupancies which are equipped with a fire suppression and fire alarm stem throughout the structure. No change suggested in section 18-62(20). Section suggested “Exception” in Section 18-65 for “low-rise” multifamily construction as that section is more appropriate to propose a change due to model code construction types. ●​ 18-62(23) Add subsection "Sec. 903.2.14 Automatic Sprinkler Systems, Where required: (A)​Any new building over two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, or over three (3) stories in height. (B)​Any restaurant with an occupancy of over fifty (50) persons, or any place of assembly with occupancies over fifty (50) persons. (C)​Any building which is added on to that will increase the building to more than two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet. (D)​Any building over two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet that has a change in use to a greater life hazard as determined by the Westmont Fire Department. Examples of greater life hazards include, but are not limited to: Increased occupant load or fire load or change of use from an Office or Retail use to a hardware store or other use where paint, paint thinners, Lacquers, or other flammable materials are stored on the property. Change in use from office to retail or retail to office will not, in and of itself, trigger the requirement to install sprinklers. (E)​Any new duplex which includes any dwelling attached, or semidetached unit, or any new two (2) family detached dwelling units. (F)​Any new multiple family dwelling, which is a dwelling containing three (3) or more dwelling units. (G)​Reserved. (H)​Any commercial building over 2,500 square feet which is the subject of remodeling including, but not limited to: removal of interior walls, relocation of Page 12 of 65 BLDG/FIRE Codes Text Amendment Recommendations interior walls, addition of interior walls, addition or removal of door or window openings, relocation of door or window openings, substantial changes, additions, or upgrades to building plumbing or electrical systems, addition of building square footage through building addition or number of stories, removal of building square footage, or any other such substantial renovation deemed by the Director of Community Development or designee to trigger the need for sprinklers. This section shall not include redecorating or maintenance efforts such as carpeting, wall coverings, countertops, or replacement with like kind and quality roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, or lighting fixtures. Upgrades to electrical and plumbing service by itself shall not trigger the requirements for sprinklers. Further, any interior remodeling of an area representing less than 20% of the total building square footage, not to exceed 1,000 square feet, shall be permitted without triggering the requirement for sprinklers. Such limited remodeling shall be permitted no more than once every three years, without triggering the sprinkler requirement. (I)​ Any remodeling which does not breach a "Building Separation/Fire Wall" shall not, in and of itself, trigger a requirement to install fire suppression sprinklers in an existing commercial building in the B-1 District. (J)​ A mixed use occupancy (i.e., commercial and residential) in any new building or redevelopment of an existing building shall trigger the sprinkler requirement. and if remodeling occurs per sub section “H” above. Above subsection “J” is an unrelated suggested housecleaning item. ●​ 18-62(24) Class III standpipe shall be installed throughout in accordance with adopted code and buildings exceeding 10,000 square feet per story or where any portion of the building's interior area is more than 150 feet of travel, vertically and horizontally, from the nearest point of fire department vehicle access, buildings three (3) stories or more in height above grade level, or where the floor level of the lowest story is located three (3) stories or more below grade. Grade level shall be measured from the grade level main entrance of the building and approved by the Fire Code Official. Exceptions: 1.Class I standpipes are allowed in buildings equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1 or 903.3.1.2. 2.Class I manual standpipes are allowed in open parking garages where the highest floor is located not more than three (3) stories above grade. Approval is per the Fire Code Official. 3.Class I manual dry standpipes are allowed in open parking garages that are subject to freezing temperatures, provided that the hose connections are located as required for Class II standpipes in accordance with Section 905.5. Approval is per the Fire Code Official. Page 13 of 65 BLDG/FIRE Codes Text Amendment Recommendations 4.Class I standpipes are allowed in basements equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system. 5.Buildings four (4) stories or less above grade level; the fire code official may approve: 5.1Operating pressures of less than 100 psi at the outlet of the hydraulically most remote 2-½ hose connection. The reduced outlet pressure shall not be less than 65 psi. 5.2A Class I standpipe system in lieu of a Class III system. Above subsection suggested change is due to proposed “low rise” exception language for Section 18-65. ●​ Municipal Section 18-65. - Standards for construction types other than single-family homes and duplexes. For all construction types other than single-family home and duplexes, all floors shall be of pre-cast concrete type, poured concrete type, or other type having at least a two-hour fire resistance rating. ○​ Exception: Multifamily buildings (3) stories or less with the highest occupied level being at thirty feet (30’) or less, then Type IIIB construction type would be allowed. This is not applicable in a mixed use occupancy (i.e., commercial and residential).

At no other time does Westmont bring together more people, countless numbers of whom are from outside Westmont. Additionally, Oak Brook Hills Hotel & Resort sells out the hotel taking full advantage of the celebration and fireworks display. It is the perfect synergy of cooperation, tourism and use of Hotel/Motel tax dollars. This year, July 4, 2025, is a special one because it will be our 25th celebration. We at the Westmont Park District would like to recognize this special occasion by enhancing the celebration. For this reason we are requesting an extra grant to assist with the expense of the following extras to create a memorable and special event. • Mad Bombers fireworks display extras - $20,000. Quote attached. • Record-a-Hit giant slide - $2,325. Quote attached. • Alpine Amusements Ferris wheel and generator - $10,000. No quote attached, information provided via text. Alpine cannot guarantee whether or not the Ferris wheel will be available until June. Please consider this request and advise me if you require further information. As always, we thank you and appreciate the Village’s cooperation.
