STAFF CONTACT, Jason Wicha, City Manager
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: It is requested that the City Council extend the Declaration

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Over the past months, the U.S. Government and the State of
Illinois have issued multiple orders declaring a state of emergency over the country and the
State of Illinois in order to address the impact of the global pandemic from COVID-19. In order
to address the impact this pandemic has had on the City of Lake Forest, Mayor Pandaleon
exercised his authority to issue a Declaration of a Local State of Emergency on Saturday, April
4, 2020. At its April 6, 2020, City Council meeting, the City Council extended the Declaration
to the next City Council meeting which was April 19, 2021.
In order to ensure that the emergency powers authorized by the local declaration remain in
effect where necessary, the Mayor is asking the City Council to further extend the Declaration
of a Local State of Emergency until the next City Council meeting that takes place after May
17, 2021.

4. Approval of a Resolution Supporting Restoration of LGDF Revenue
STAFF CONTACT: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests City Council approval of the Proposed
Resolution supporting restoration of the 10% allocation of income tax revenues by the State of
Illinois through the Local Government Distributive Fund.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Since the State income tax was adopted in 1969, the State has
shared a percentage of total income tax collections through the Local Government
Distributive Fund (LGDF) with municipalities on a per capita basis in lieu of a local income
5
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
tax. These shared revenues have been significantly reduced by the State since 2011 from
10% to now 6.06%, ensuring that local governments did not share in the increased income tax
rates approved by the General Assembly in recent years.
Governor Pritzker has proposed that the Fiscal Year 2022 state budget include a further 10%
reduction in the amount of LGDF revenue distributed to local governments. It is
recommended that the City Council adopt the Proposed Resolution urging the General
Assembly and the Governor to restore LGDF payments to the promised 10% rate.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The City’s FY22 annual budget projects LGDF revenue of $1.6 million
assuming 80% of the current allocation. At 100% of the current allocation, the revenue would
be projected at $2.0 million. At the original 10% allocation used from 1969 to January 1, 2011,
the projected revenue would be $3.3 million. A copy of the resolution is on page 48.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a Resolution Supporting Restoration of LGDF Revenue
5. Approval to Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with William
Schelhas Media Services, LLC In an Amount not to exceed $30,075 for Professional
Services Related to the Operation of the City’s Public, Educational and Government
Access Cable Television Services.
STAFF CONTACT: Mike Strong, Assistant City Manager (847-810-3680)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the
City Manager to enter into an agreement (“Agreement”) with William Schelhas Media
Services, LLC (“Contractor”) in an amount not to exceed $30,075 to provide public,
educational and governmental (“PEG”) cable access television support services. The
agreement is for a term of one-year, and serves as a renewal for the existing agreement with
the Contractor.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Pursuant to a Franchise Agreement with Comcast of Illinois, the
City is provided a public, educational and governmental (“PEG”) cable access channel. The
City has utilized this channel to broadcast public meetings, and rebroadcast public-access
media, special events, and other educational and governmental programming.

Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
In FY2018, the City underwent a restructuring of Lake Forest Television (“LFTV”), the
department that operates the City’s PEG channel, which resulted in the elimination of two (2)
full-time equivalent positions. Following, the City engaged a part-time independent
contractor to support the ongoing maintenance and scheduling of the City’s PEG cable
channel, maintain equipment and online streaming platform, and provide video broadcast
services for the City Council and Plan Commission meetings.
The proposed Agreement requires that the Contractor continue to both support the PEG
channel, as well as, broadcast and record these public meetings. The budgeted amount
allocated for FY2022 includes capacity for these services, as well as, general office
administrative support hours for video editing, and miscellaneous projects to support LFTV
operations.
A copy of the Agreement, along with a rate card, can be found beginning on page 49.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is requesting budget authorization in an amount not to exceed
$30,075 based on a conservative estimate of work hours needed for FY2022.

Dialogue Newsletter, Recreation Seasonal Brochure, and the Dickinson Hall News Brief. In late
summer 2018, the City issued an RFP for professional printing services specifically for the
Dialogue Newsletter. On May 20, 2019, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter
into a three-year Agreement, beginning in FY2020 with Lake County Press, Inc.

7. Approval of a Second Amendment to the License Agreement Between the City of
Lake Forest and the Music Institute of Chicago to occupy a portion of Volwiler Hall,
located at 40 E. Old Mill Road
STAFF CONTACT: Mike Strong, Assistant to the City Manager (810-3680)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Pursuant to a recommendation of the Property & Public
Lands Committee, staff is requesting approval of a Second Amendment to a License
Agreement between the City of Lake Forest and the Music Institute of Chicago (“MIC”) which
authorizes an extension of the existing Agreement through June 1, 2026.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The MIC, a community music school, has occupied a portion of
Volwiler Hall on Grove Campus since 2008 when it assumed a lease under the same terms
and conditions from the Lake Forest Symphony. Between 2010 and 2014, the City and MIC
entered into several lease extensions to work toward either a long-term license agreement or
sale of the building to the MIC. During this time, the City also embarked on a Comprehensive
Master Plan for Grove Campus, which established a vision for the Campus to provide
education, exposure and experiences to the communities in the areas of art, music,
humanities and society. The Plan also affirmed the presence and occupancy of the MIC to
offer high quality music education for all ages and levels of ability.
In early 2015, the City Council approved a five-year License Agreement with the MIC to
continue its occupancy at Grove Campus. In 2019, the City and MIC entered into an
amendment to the existing lease which granted an extension of the Agreement until June 15,
2021, while the City explored potential redevelopment and expanded City use of the site.
Since these opportunities are not anticipated over the short term, City staff believes it is in the
best interest of the community to allow the MIC to continue operating in Volwiler Hall. To this
8
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
end, the City and MIC have mutually agreed in principle, contingent upon City Council
approval, to engage in a five-year extension of the existing License Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, all other terms of the License Agreement
would remain in effect. Included in this packet are copies of the Second Amendment and
existing License Agreement beginning on page 58.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Property & Public Lands
Committee 4/26/21 Reviewed and Approved
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The existing license rate is a fixed fee of $43,000 per year, or roughly
$3,583 per month. The Agreement would extend that annual amount for the first year under
the extension, after which, the annual license fee would increase by the lesser of 3% or the 12-
month change in Consumer Price Index. The proposed extension of the License Agreement
would yield approximately $225,000 of revenue over the term period. This revenue would be
used to offset the City’s maintenance and capital obligations, as outlined in the License
Agreement. These include among others, exterior maintenance and replacement of building
elements, annual operating capital expenses for mechanical, electrical and plumbing needs.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a Second Amendment to the License Agreement Between
the City of Lake Forest and the Music Institute of Chicago to occupy a portion of Volwiler Hall,
located at 40 E. Old Mill Road
8. Approval of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 97, Sections 115 through 119 of the
City of Lake Forest City Code to Dissolve the Elawa Farm Commission
STAFF CONTACT: Jason Wicha, City Manager (810-3670)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City staff is requesting City Council approve an Ordinance
amending Chapter 97 of the City Code to dissolve the Elawa Farm Commission. This action
was contemplated as part of the Lease Agreement (“Lease”) that was approved by the City
Council on February 1, 2021, between the City and Elawa Farm Foundation.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 1998, the City took ownership of a 16-acre parcel of land
located adjacent to the Middlefork savanna that is home to various historic farm buildings,
remnants of a Gentleman’s Farm, open spaces and gardens. The property, known as Elawa
Farm, is located at 1401 Middlefork Drive.
Initially, a steering committee, and later an official City Commission, were established to
advise the City Council on matters related to the restoration, preservation, maintenance and
use of Elawa Farm. In the early 2000s, the City entered into an Operating Agreement
(“Agreement”) with the Elawa Farm Foundation (“Foundation”), a not for profit group
established to support, raise awareness, and promote the use of the Farm. Under the terms of
the Operating Agreement, the Foundation was responsible for the daily management and
maintenance of the building and grounds of Elawa Farm. The Elawa Farm Commission
served as a link between the Foundation and the City Council.
9
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
This past February, the Council approved a change in the relationship between the City and
the Foundation. The Operating Agreement was terminated and the City entered into a
Lease with the Foundation which established a traditional landlord/tenant relationship. The
Lease returns responsibility for overall management and oversight of the site to the City
eliminating the need for the Elawa Commission as a link between the Foundation and the
City. Additionally, the Lease requires that the Foundation submit annual financial reports,
including the approved budget and audit, and any proposed improvements or
enhancements planned for the year. City staff will coordinate closely with the Foundation on
all aspects of Elawa Farm; daily use, short term and long term maintenance and planning for
long term capital needs. The City’s annual budget will reflect maintenance and capital
needs for Elawa Farm subject to Council review and approval as part of the annual budget
process.
An Ordinance, amending the Code to dissolve the Elawa Farm Commission is included in the
Council packet beginning on page 87.
COUNCIL ACTION: Waive first reading and grant final approval of an Ordinance Amending
Chapter 97 Sections 115 through 119 of the City of Lake Forest City Code and Dissolving the
Elawa Farm Commission
9. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Housing Trust Fund Board in Support
of an Amendment to Section 39.159(N) of the City of Lake Forest Code to Update
and Clarify Language Relating to an Exemption from Obtaining a Transfer Stamp for
Designated Affordable Housing Units (Waive first reading and grant final approval
of an Ordinance.)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development
847-810-3504
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is asked to consider a recommendation from
the Housing Trust Fund Board for the purpose of updating and clarifying the current Code
language which exempts affordable housing units from the Real Estate Transfer Tax.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Section 39.159(N) of the City Code is intended to support
the City’s goal of retaining a diverse housing stock. As currently written, the Code language
exempts housing units designated as affordable through the inclusionary housing provisions in
the Code or through the City’s partnership with Community Partners for Affordable Housing
(CPAH) from the transfer tax as subsequent sales of the property occur. However, the current
Code language is outdated. It refers to a homeownership program that is no longer in
existence. The proposed language, crafted with the assistance of CPAH, and similar to
language used by neighboring municipalities, eliminates the outdated reference and
provides greater clarity on the properties covered by this exemption.
To date, there are twelve housing units, single family homes and condominiums, in the
community that qualify for this exemption at the time of resale. The City has partnered with
CPAH to acquire ten single family homes throughout the community and two affordable
condominiums units were established through the inclusionary housing requirements in the
10
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
Code. Rental apartments and senior cottages are also available in the community as part of
the City’s diversity in housing efforts but are not subject to the transfer tax.
The amendment as recommended is detailed in the ordinance beginning on page 90 of the
Council packet. Deleted language and the proposed language are reflected in the
ordinance.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impacts are associated with the proposed amendment.
The current language was intended to exempt the resale of housing units designated as
affordable units through restrictive covenants or other means from the real estate transfer tax.
No change is proposed to the intent or practical implementation of the Code, the proposed
language change reflects updated and clarified language.
COUNCIL ACTION: Waive first reading and grant final approval of an Amendments to Section
39.159 of the City of Lake Forest Code Relating to Deed Exempted from Tax.
10. Consideration of Ordinances Approving Recommendations from the Historic
Preservation Commission. (First Reading and if Desired by the City Council, Final
Approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
The following recommendations from the Historic Preservation Commission are presented to the
City Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
1150 Lake Road – The Commission recommended approval of a building scale variance to
allow construction of a pool pavilion adjacent to a new swimming pool both located
generally in the footprint of an existing tennis court which will be removed. The pool pavilion
is a small, low profile structure with an outdoor terrace. A rain garden is planned adjacent to
the pool pavilion to address drainage in a low spot on the property. A neighboring property
owner expressed concern about the loss of landscaped views across the backyard of the
property. In response, the petitioner reduced the size of the pool pavilion, reversed the
locations of the pavilion and the rain garden to locate the garden closest to the neighboring
property, and moved the pool and pool pavilion to the north all in an effort to preserve views
of vegetation for the neighbor. The petitioner also agreed to install a row of arborvitae
stepped back from the property line to screen the pool pavilion while still maintaining some
existing trees and adding more deciduous trees between the arborvitae and the property
line to maintain a natural, rather than a manicured appearance of the property when
viewed from the neighboring property. (Approved 6 – 0)
33 Stone Gate Lane – The Commission recommended approval of building scale and height
variances for a beach pavilion on the bluff. The existing boat house which is located near the
water’s edge and in poor condition will be removed. Prior to any Board or Commission
consideration of this petition, the petitioner was required to submit a slope stability analysis
and data from soil borings for preliminary review by the City Engineer. The City Engineer
recommended approval of the petition and pointed out that final engineering plans will be
required and will be subject to further technical review and final approval prior to the
issuance of any permits authorizing construction to proceed. Public testimony was presented
11
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
by one Lake Forest resident expressing general concern about construction on bluffs and
suggesting that a more fully detailed landscape should be required. The Commission noted
that as the final engineering plans are developed, a detailed landscape plan based on the
final engineering plans will be submitted and will be subject review and approval by the
City’s Certified Arborist. The petition also received favorable consideration by the Zoning
Board of Appeals as detailed in the following agenda item. (Approved 7 - 0)
745 Woodland Road – The Commission recommended approval of a building scale variance
to allow the addition of a single story breezeway to facilitate circulation through the
residence and the enlargement of bay windows. The changes are requested to
accommodate the needs and interests of the new property owners. No public testimony was
presented. (Approved 7 – 0)
The Ordinances approving the petitions, with key exhibits attached, are included in the Council’s
packet beginning on page 93. The Ordinances, with complete exhibits, are available for review in
the Community Development Department.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first reading
and grant final approval of the Ordinance approving the petition as recommended by the
Historic Preservation Commission.
11. Consideration of Ordinances Approving Recommendations from the Zoning Board
of Appeals. (First Reading, and if Desired by the City Council, Final Approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The following recommendations from the Zoning Board of
Appeals are presented to the City Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
33 Stonegate Lane – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of a variance to allow
the construction of a beach pavilion on the slope of the bluff. As noted in the previous agenda
item, this petition was forwarded to the Board for consideration only after a thorough review of
technical information relating to the stability of the slope and the proposed construction, and with
a recommendation in support of the variance from the City Engineer. Final engineering plans and
a detailed replanting plan are required and will be subject to final approval by the City Engineer
and the City’s Certified Arborist prior to the issuance of any permits authorizing work on this project.
No public testimony was presented on this petition. The Historic Preservation Commission also
forwarded a recommendation in support of this petition to the City Council. (Board vote: 7-0,
approved)
633 Woodland Road – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of a variance from
the side yard setback to allow for construction of a shed, adjacent to an existing garage, on a well
screened portion of the property. Comments in support of the petition were offered by the closest
neighbor with a comment that at the proposed location, the shed is fully screened from view.
(Board vote: 7-0, approved)
12
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
1090 Highland Avenue – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of a variance to
allow widening of a driveway within the front yard setback to accommodate additional parking on
the property. Several letters in support of the petition were presented to the Board. (Board vote: 7-
0, approved)
The Ordinances approving the petition as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals, with key
exhibits attached, are included in the Council packet beginning on page 124. The Ordinances,
complete with all exhibits, are available for review in the Community Development Department.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first reading
and grant final approval of the Ordinances approving the petitions in accordance with the
Zoning Board of Appeals’ recommendations.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the eleven (11) omnibus items as presented.

7.NEW BUSINESS
1.Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of
Tentative and Final Plat Approval of the Sloan Plat of Resubdivision for Property at
477 Illinois Road. No Additional Lots are Proposed. (Approval by Motion.)
PRESENTED BY: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of a plat of resubdivision to essentially clean up
an existing condition to allow a lot created through a previous subdivision to be sold for
development with a single family home. No additional lots are proposed.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The purpose of the resubdivision is to reconfigure two existing
lots to incorporate an additional parcel of land that was acquired by the petitioner several
decades ago and to properly align access and utility easements. No additional lots are
proposed as part of the proposed resubdivision.
Concurrent approval of the tentative and final plat is appropriate in this case because no
public infrastructure improvements are required. As with development of any vacant lot,
complete drainage, grading and landscape plans will be required at the time a new home is
proposed on the vacant lot.
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on April 14, 2021 to consider this petition. There
was no public testimony. The Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend tentative and final
approval of the plat of resubdivision. The Commissioner voting in opposition expressed
concern about the nonconforming condition on the neighboring property. The other
Commissioners noted that the nonconforming condition is not being created by the

2. Discussion and Direction on Whether to Establish Regulations, Requirements or
Parameters Authorizing Food Trucks in Some Capacity in the City. (No Action
Requested – Discussion and Direction Only)
PRESENTED BY: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: At the request of the Mayor and some Aldermen, the subject of
food trucks is presented to the Council for discussion and direction. At this time, staff is seeking
some general direction on this topic from the Council. Pending direction from the full Council on
whether or not to pursue this topic, no specific policies or regulations have been prepared for
discussion or public comment at this time.
If so directed by the Council, staff will work with the City Attorney to prepare draft amendments,
regulations or policies for further review and public discussion.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As a follow up to interest expressed by some in allowing food
trucks in Lake Forest in some capacity, preliminary information is provided below for the
purpose of facilitating a high level discussion by the Council on whether there is interest in
having the City staff and City Attorney pursue this topic further. As an initial step, City staff has
been in communication with colleagues in other communities on this issue and has received
input from some local restauranteurs as well as some local organizations that host community
events.
Current Code Provisions
Currently, the City Code does not make any provision for food trucks to operate in the
community. A summary of some applicable current Code provisions is provided below.
Section 113.21 – Permits and Licenses
This section requires both a license from the City and a permit from the Lake County Health
Department for any “food store” which is defined in the Code as “any other establishment,
whether fixed or moveable, where food, intended for human consumption off the premises is
manufactured, produced, prepared, handled, transported, sold or offered for sale at retail.”
Section 117.05 – Sales from Vehicles
This section makes It unlawful to sell or offer for sale any food or beverage for human
consumption, from any motor vehicle or any vehicle or cart of any kind, on any public street
or sidewalk in the City.
Section 117.20(B) – Transient Merchants and Itinerant Vendors
This section makes it unlawful to do business in the City as a transient merchant or itinerant
vendor without first securing a license.
14
Monday, May 17, 2021 City Council Agenda
The above provisions were incorporated into the Code long before the current popularity of
food trucks and were likely established with the intent of protecting public health and life
safety. Today, some see these provisions as also protecting community character and the
supporting local bricks and mortar businesses. As with all Code provisions, periodic review
and updating is appropriate to respond to current trends and interests and to provide
clarification as needed.
Balancing Interests
The City is often faced with balancing various interests and this topic is no different, there are
various opinions about food trucks. However, in the interest of being open to new ideas, the
topic of food trucks merits Council and community discussion.
In addition to hearing support for allowing food trucks from some aldermen, the City has
heard from some local not for profit groups, institutions, private clubs, some businesses and
residents of their interest in promoting the operation of food trucks in the City for special
events and even on a more regular basis. The concept of a weekly or monthly community
food truck event at some public location has also been discussed. The attraction of food
trucks is that in the short term, they can offer a diversity of food that may not be available
elsewhere in the community, bring in visitors who may visit established businesses and get to
know the community while they are here, and ideally, lead to future bricks and mortar
restaurants locating in the community.
On the other side, the City has also heard concerns from some restaurant owners about the
potential impacts food trucks could have on local restaurants and stores particularly given
the challenges of the past year. The concerns center around the fact that local restaurants
and food stores make long term contributions to the community by investing in buildings,
paying rent or property taxes, generating sales taxes and sponsoring local community groups
and events.
With careful thought, a middle ground can likely be found on this issue with some
combination of regulations, licensing requirements and appropriate fees.
Recommendation
The City has the ability to allow food trucks to operate in the City and the ability to regulate
how, when and where food trucks are permitted. There is pending legislation that could
potentially, in the future, limit to some extent the City’s ability to regulate these uses. Some
communities have identified specific streets or areas of the community where food trucks are
permitted during certain hours. Others have limited the number of food trucks that are
licensed each year and established other requirements. Based on the input received by staff
to date there does not appear to be an immediate interest in putting provisions in place that
would allow food trucks to operate broadly and on an ongoing basis in Lake Forest.
However, this is a clear interest in finding a way to allow some food truck activity in the
community with proper safe guards in place.
If the Council is supportive of further exploration of the options related to food trucks, staff
recommends that initially, the focus be placed on developing regulations to allow food trucks
to operate at various types of special events, large and small, public and private, on
designated public properties and on private properties. Based on the Council’s discussion
and direction, staff will work with the City Attorney to develop a recommendation which may
15

include, but may not be limited to, one or more of the following: licensing requirements,
Code amendments and fees for further Council discussion.
COUNCIL ACTION: Provide high level direction to staff and the City Attorney regarding food
trucks:
Should regulations be established to allow food trucks to operate in the City in some
capacity?

revenue totaled $2.735 million, which exceeded the budget estimate by $1.8 million, due to the adjusted
estimates as the budget was passed during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the assumption
concluded a negative impact on this fund.
The City Council had a discussion regarding the real estate market in surrounding communities.
Ms. Holleb explained they had conducted a survey and neighboring communities have not seen the same
growth, however, some communities do not have a real estate transfer tax, which makes it difficult to
collect this data.

Resolution Supporting Restoration of LGDF Revenue
WHEREAS, municipalities across the State of Illinois provide essential services to their
residents that include public safety support, transportation and storm/wastewater
infrastructure and community health services along with many others; and
WHEREAS, the State of Illinois has maintained a long-held agreement with municipalities
to support and invest in these local services through the Local Government Distributive
Fund (LGDF), which includes the collection and distribution of tax revenues on behalf of
municipalities; and
WHEREAS, since the state income tax was adopted in 1969, state government has
shared a percentage of total income tax collections through the LGDF with
municipalities on a per capita basis in lieu of a local income tax; and
WHEREAS, these shared revenues have been significantly reduced by the State since
2011 from 10% to now 6.06%; and
WHEREAS, municipalities depend on LGDF dollars to lessen the burden on local
taxpayers and reduce reliance on property taxes; and
WHEREAS, Governor JB Pritzker has proposed that the Fiscal Year 2022 state budget
include a further 10% reduction in the amount of LGDF revenue distributed to local
governments; and
WHEREAS, in addition to LGDF cuts over the years, the State has also reduced
municipalities’ share of the personal property replacement tax and increased sales tax
collection fees while cities and villages have had to fund skyrocketing State-mandated
pension costs, which account for substantial budget increases each year; and
WHEREAS, municipalities may be forced to explore increasing property taxes or cutting
services amid further LDGF reductions,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lake Forest urges
the General Assembly and the Governor to restore LGDF payments to the promised 10%
rate so municipalities across Illinois may provide basic levels of service and avoid
increased reliance on property taxes.
Adopted this 17th day of May, 2021

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
ORDINANCE NO. 2021 - ___
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 39.159 (N) – “DEED EXEMPTED FROM
TAX” OF THE CITY CODE
WHEREAS, The City of Lake Forest is a home rule, special charter municipal
corporation; and
WHEREAS, from time to time it is appropriate to review and update the City
Code of Lake Forest (the “City Code”) to assure that it reflects current and updated
language to allow for implementation of the City Code as intended; and
WHEREAS, the City has become aware that the language in Section 39.159 that
exempts from the City’s Real Estate Transfer Tax housing units which are restricted in
some manner to maintain affordability (such as those created as a requirement of the
City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance or through City initiated affordable housing efforts
in partnership with Community Partners for Affordable Housing) is outdated and requires
modification to reflect current programs and practices; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Trust Fund Board has recommended that the City
Council consider amending the City Code to update the language to reflect current
references and practices and to allow the intent of the Code as currently written to be
achieved; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council, having considered the recommendation
of the Housing Trust Fund Board, have determined that adopting this Ordinance and
amending Chapter 39.159 (N) of the City Code relating to exempting affordable housing
units from the Transfer Tax at the time of resale as hereinafter set forth, will be in the
best interests of the City and its residents;
