Unfinished Business: A.​ Nothing New Business: A.​ Fire Department Headquarters Evaluation - 845 Group gave a detailed report on the condition of our Fire Headquarters building at 6115 S. Cass Ave. They presented three choices: Renovation on current footprint, Renovation with addition and New Construction. They addressed existing safety issues with the building; some are hazardous. The building was built in 1991. Some of the main issues that exist: Decontamination hazard, mold, overhead doors not wide enough for new equipment, metal paneling: nothing behind to protect building, no vapor barrier, no insulation. The building is not ADA compliant, nor is it up to code. Surveys of Fire employees were gone over: not enough room was the main concern regardless of rank/position. Another concern, air quality/health concerns due to cross contamination and mold. Main project goals: Enhance health and safety, Improve efficiency, training room, staff comfort & privacy. Reports : A.​ Chairperson Page 3 of 134  1)​ Nothing B.​ Public Works Director - 1)​ Cruisin Nights changes: Communications Director Larry McIntyre - due to the upcoming 1 North Cass project, changing the location of Cruisin Nights and also Taste of Westmont was explored. One thought is to move it to West Burlington between Cass Ave. & Williams St. This layout will be easier to set up, parking will be easier to manage. All residences will have access to their properties via the alley. ​ The overall consensus was to leave Cruisin’ Nights and Taste of Westmont on Cass Av similar to previous years. 2)​ Kirk Nix was recognized for 35 years of service to the Village. 3)​ Sidewalk Repair - Brief update on the program as a whole. C.​ Fleet/Facilities Division 1)​ Dark Sky - Update on new downtown lights given, a picture of the new light poles and fixtures was shown. D. Forestry & Grounds Division 1)​ E. Street Division 1)​ F. Underground 1)​ G. Water Division 1)​ Lead & Copper - New lead and copper rule, 60 new sample sights 2)​ Corosion Chemical - City of Chicago is changing their corrosion chemical which may affect the color of the water in the beginning.

Good sense of Camaraderie “Back patio time with the crews. We have spent much time out in the chairs, talking and discussing everything from personal issues to tactics and debriefing calls. Lots of great memories there. “ (9 similar responses) 2. Severe lack of Space “Space!!! At 183 there is no space to work. Everything is on top of each other. The LT and Captain have no office. There is no place to doing training, hands on or computer based. The layout of the bay is too tight. No place for you to be alone and study.” “Lack of space to do anything. All storage areas are a mess and the space can't be utilized or items found to be used” 3. Apparatus Bay/Apron Concerns “The short apron makes it difficult to back the vehicles into the station without blocking and pulling into traffic. The space between vehicles on the bay floor makes getting dressed for calls an issue. Doors from vehicles have the potential to strike members getting dressed and the efficiency goes down when members have to move around each other to get dressed.” Page 64 of 134 S U R V E Y R E S U LT S - F I R E S U M M A R Y FIRE Major Themes 4.

Enhance Health and Safety: Incorporate effective decontamination zones and ventilation systems to ensure the health and safety of occupants and prevent cross-contamination. 2. Improve Operational Efficiency: Maximize spacing and layout in the apparatus bay for safe equipment movement and maintenance activities 3. Optimize Staff Comfort and Privacy : Design spaces that enhance functionality, including a well-sized kitchen, dayroom, and designated quiet zones for studying and computer work. Provide private living quarters, including bunk rooms, modern locker rooms, and accessible shower and restroom facilities for fire station personnel. Importance of staff recruitment and retention. 4. Promote Training and Community Engagement: Provide a multipurpose training room suitable for fire station needs and community events. Create spaces that are designed for the future, not just the present. 5. Facilitate Leadership and Administration: Create dedicated offices for senior staff and a fully equipped administrative suite with essential amenities like a copy area, break room, and restrooms. 6. Incorporate Outdoor Training Capabilities: Include exterior training areas to support hands-on and scenario-based firefighting exercises. 7. Celebrate Tradition: Integrate historic photographs and memorabilia into public-facing areas to honor and preserve the station’s legacy. 8. Ensure Adequate Storage: Include sufficient and well-organized storage solutions to meet the station’s current and future needs.

The viability and promotion of civic organizations benefits the municipality and for this reason the Village has established a civic T organization sign policy and program. The Civic Organization Sign Policy provides an opportunity for organizations to display their identification shields on Village-provided signage at a centralized location in the Village. Purpose AF The purpose of this policy is to allow for the public display of a non-profit civic organization's identification shield on Village-provided signage. The organization must meet specific criteria as defined in the policy and will procure, pay for and provide their own sign meeting the specifications set forth by the Village. Scope This policy applies to Village-installed Civic Organizational Signs placed at an approved R location within the Village of Westmont. 1. Responsibilities The Director of Public Works or their designee shall: D • Review applications to ensure conformity to the eligibility criteria, • Advise the Civic Organization of the status of their application, • Maintain a waiting list of Civic Organizations, • Liaise with and retain on file the annual applications from Civic Organizations confirming their contact information, organizational status and interest in remaining on the sign, • Maintain the Civic Organization Sign main structural element in good repair. 2. Policy Requirements 2.1 The Village will erect a structural element to mount the signage. The Village will assume all costs associated with the supply, installation and maintenance of the Civic Page 106 of 134 Organization sign main structural element. This will be located along Burlington Ave adjacent to the railroad right of way to allow for visibility by motorists, pedestrians and transit users. Village Board approval is required for any additional sign locations. 2.2 The Village will assume all costs associated with the installation and removal of T the organization identification shields, but not the shield itself. 2.3 The maximum number of identification shields which may be displayed on the sign is 10. AF 2.4 Organization identification shields will be 18 inches in diameter and shall consist of the organization’s recognizable logo. The sign design is subject to approval by the Director of Public Works or their designee. 2.5 Each organization identified on the sign will assume the total cost associated with the manufacture of their identification shield. This includes contracting with a vendor to manufacture the sign, as well as the cost of shields for new installations or replacement R due to vandalism, theft, maintenance (wear) or life cycle. If in the future the Village installs additional Civic Organization sign locations, each organization will be responsible for supplying additional signs at their expense. D 2.6 Each civic organization is required to provide the Village with an application, on an annual basis, which identifies: a contact name, number and address, confirmation that the organization still meets the eligibility criteria; and advising that they still wish to remain on the sign. A fee of $5.00 will be charged to defray administrative and installation costs. 2.7 Organizations not providing the aforementioned information by March 1st of each year will have their identification shields removed and returned to the contact person. Page 107 of 134 The Village has no obligation to provide a sign structure location for display of civic organization signs. If the sign structure is destroyed or otherwise removed by the Village for any reason, sign shields will be returned to the contact person. 2.8 New organizations expressing interest in participating in the Civic Organization Sign Program will be required to submit an application and fee to the Public Works Department. Requests will be reviewed for compliance to the qualification criteria and a T response provided. If acceptable, arrangements will be made for the installation of the identification shield.
