1. Final Approval of the Gorton Operating Agreement
PRESENTED BY: VICTOR FILIPPINI, CITY ATTORNEY
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting final approval of the Gorton
Operating Agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On April 29, 2013 the Property and Public Land Committee
met with Gorton Officials to finalize the Gorton Operating agreement. This evening City
Attorney, Victor Filippini will walk the City Council through modifications of the Operating
agreement made since April 15 when the Ordinance was discussed at your Finance
Committee meeting. Attached on page 38 of your packet.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If appropriate and should the City Council desire, approve the
Gorton Agreement as presented.
2. Consideration of a Recommendation from the City’s Housing Trust Fund Board
Recommending Approval of a Resolution in Support of a Long Term Plan for the Senior
Cottages, Authorizing the Release of a Reversion Clause for the Property and Authorizing
the Acknowledgement of Full Satisfaction of the Obligations of Presbyterian Homes’
Special Use Permit. (Approval of Resolution)
STAFF CONTACT: CATHERINE CZERNIAK,
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Council action is required to facilitate the transfer of
the Senior Cottages, located on Conway Road at Telegraph Road, from the Senior
Cottages Foundation to Community Partners for Affordable Housing (“CPAH”). The
Council’s role in this transaction is limited to two items: 1) the release of a reversion
clause on the property deed; and 2) acknowledgement that upon the completion of
the transaction and with limited ongoing rental subsidies, the remaining obligations from
Presbyterian Homes’ Special Use Permit are fully satisfied.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In 2001, the City Council approved the 5-unit Senior Cottage Development and donated
the land on which the development was built. The Lake Forest Senior Cottage
Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation comprised of local residents, was formed to
accomplish the vision of constructing the cottages and sustaining them in the early years.
4
The Senior Cottages have successfully met the goal of providing rental housing for local
seniors.
For the past year, the Housing Trust Fund Board has explored options for establishing the
best structure to support the Senior Cottages going forward. After much discussion
involving many parties, a transfer of the property from the founding group to CPAH is
imminent. CPAH, as the Council knows, is a well-established not-for-profit with experience
and expertise in owning and managing affordable housing.
This transfer is made possible through a net payment by Presbyterian Homes, Illinois
Affordable Housing Tax Credits and the participation of Lake Forest Bank and Trust. The
current debt on the cottages will be paid down, a reserve fund established, various loans
repaid (including some due to the City) and rents will be set at a level that will not require
an ongoing subsidy. Community Partners for Affordable Housing will own, operate and
maintain the Senior Cottages going forward. The rental units will continue to be made
available on a priority basis to Lake Forest seniors consistent with the procedures used to
date. The City’s Senior Center will continue to serve as a connection point between
seniors in need of housing and the owners of the Senior Cottages.
A Resolution is included in the Council’s packet beginning on page 75.
RECOMMENDED ACTION : Approve a Resolution in support of the Senior Cottages,
authorizing the release of a reversion clause for the Property and authorizing the
acknowledgement of satisfaction of the remaining Special Use Permit obligations of
Presbyterian Homes.
3. Approval of a Resolution declaring Wedgewood Lots #22, #23, #24 a surplus and
Approving a 50 ft. Covenant on parcels #23 and #24
PRESENTED BY: VICTOR FILIPPINI, CITY ATTORNEY
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting approval of a Resolution declaring
the Wedgewood Lots #22, #23, #24 a surplus, identify a process in order to actively
market the properties and approve a 50 ft. Covenant for each lot.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On December 18, 1998, a deed was recorded in the Lake
County Recorder’s Office transferring ownership of three parcels, Lots 22, 23 and 24 in the
Wedgewood Subdivision, from Surety Enterprises, L.L.C., the developer of the Wedgewood
Subdivision, to the City of Lake Forest. At the request of the developer, the City Council
accepted the donation of these lots. The developer offered the lots to the City as a donation
in the interest of moving the subdivision forward to completion and due to the fact that these
lots, adjacent to a non-residential use in Bannockburn to the south, were less attractive to
buyers than other lots in the subdivision.
The City Council accepted the lots as a donation through a Resolution dated November 19,
1998. The donation of the lots was conditioned on the lots being rezoned from R-4, Single
Family Residential, to OA, Open Area. The Resolution stated that the lots must be used only for
recreational and open space purposes so long as they are owned by the City. The Resolution
further specified that the City could not sell the lots until the earlier of the following:
5
• The completion of the sales of the remaining lots by the developer.
• The passage of 10 years from the date of the donation.
The required 10 years has passed since the Resolution was adopted.
Based upon a recommendation from the Property and Public Land Committee, in June 2012
the Plan Commission rezoned the properties back to R-4, from OA, Open Area, which is
necessary to allow private ownership of the lots and development of the lots for single family
dwellings which is consistent with surrounding development and the original subdivision
approval.
This evening City Attorney, Victor Filippini will walk the Council through the Resolution. A
copy of the resolution can be found on page 79 of your packet.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If appropriate and should the City Council desire, approve a
Resolution declaring Wedgewood Lots #22, #23, #24 a surplus and Approving a 50 ft.
Covenant on parcels #23 and #24.
4. Approval of a Resolution relating to The City’s Right of First Refusal for the property
known as, the YMCA Building in Market Square
PRESENTED BY: VICTOR FILIPPINI, CITY ATTORNEY
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting approval of a resolution relating to
The City’s right of first refusal for the property noted above.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In a document dated March 1982, The City of Lake Forest
has the right of first refusal on the YMCA Building in Market Square should Market Square
ever be sold. This evening the City Attorney, Victor Filippini will walk the Council through
the Resolution attached to page 94 which waives the City’s right and permits the transfer
of ownership to Market Square to proceed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a Resolution related to the City’s Right of First Refusal
to the YMCA Building in Market Square
5. Consideration of a Resolution Directing the Plan Commission to Review and
Reconsider Previously Accepted Development Parameters for the City’s 10-Acre Laurel
and Western Avenues Property (Approval of Resolution)
STAFF CONTACT: CATHERINE CZERNIAK,
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of a Resolution directing the Plan
Commission to hold public meetings to review, reconsider and if determined to be
appropriate, recommend modifications to the Development Parameters for the City’s
former Municipal Services site.
6
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On July 8, 2008, the City Council accepted the
“Development Parameters” for the City owned property located at the northwest corner
of Western and Laurel Avenues, the former Municipal Services site. The Development
Parameters were prepared after several months of study and public meetings by the
adhoc Western and Laurel Avenues Redevelopment Committee, a study group
appointed by former Mayor Rummel in August, 2007.
In recent months, the Property and Public Lands Committee of the City Council (the PPL)
discussed this 10-acre parcel and debated the appropriate timing for renewing
discussions about redevelopment of the property. The Committee also considered
changes that have occurred both locally and regionally since 2008 when the
Development Parameters were accepted and considered current development and
market trends and acknowledged that these factors may, or may not, warrant
modifications to the Development Parameters.
After discussion, the PPL determined that the time is right for reconsideration and
recommends that the City Council direct the Plan Commission to undertake a review of
the Development Parameters for the Laurel and Western Avenue site, revisit the basis
upon which they were established, consider today’s market trends and invite public
comment to hear the community’s current thoughts about the property. The PPL further
recommends that the Council direct the Plan Commission to complete its review and
report back to the City Council with a report and recommendation by September 1,
2013.
The Development Parameters as accepted by the City Council in 2008 are included in
the Council packet following the Resolution which begins on page 97. A summary matrix
of the parameters follows with a recommendation from the Property and Public Lands on
particular items that should be the focus of the Plan Commission’s review.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve a Resolution directing the Plan Commission to review
and reconsider the Development Parameters for the City owned property located at the
northwest corner of Laurel and Western Avenues.
OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE CITY COUNCIL ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS
ITEMS FOR OMNIBUS VOTE CONSIDERATION 8:25 p.m.
1. Approval of the May 6, 2013 regular City Council minutes
Copy of the minutes are attached beginning on page 107.
2. Award of Purchase for the Replacement of a One-Ton 4WD Pick-Up Truck for
the Forestry Section Included in the F.Y. 2014 Capital Equipment Budget
7
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization to award
a bid for the replacement of unit # 631, a 2000 Chevrolet pick-up truck used by the
Forestry Section. Per the Purchasing Directive 3-5, staff sent bid specifications to multiple
dealerships, had the invitation to bid printed in two local newspapers, and placed all
specifications on the City’s web site.
Due to the modifications being made by GM to this model year 2014 pick-up truck, the
delivery time is expected to be upwards of 120 days. Therefore if the bid is awarded this
evening, staff anticipates receiving the replacement truck in November.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The current unit #631 is a 2000 Chevrolet ¾-ton 4WD pick-up
truck with approximately 73,000 miles. It is primarily used for hauling the Section’s heavier
loads to include parkway trees for both the spring and fall planting season, dirt, logs,
mulch, and is responsible for towing the Section’s stump grinder. The unit also assists with
the annual snow removal program.
The truck’s pick-up body was severely damaged last fall in an accident and sustained
damage to its frame and pick-up bed. The hydraulic system is inoperable which makes
the lift gate unusable. Finally, the truck’s doors and rocker panels are rusted through
along with a good portion of the undercarriage system
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Replacement of this truck was discussed at the both the
November and March budget meetings. As previously noted, all required bidding
procedures were adhered to and the following bids were received on May 2, 2013:
Dealership Location Bid Trade Net
Raymond Chevrolet Antioch, IL $41,328 $2,500 $38,828
Palmen GMC Kenosha, WI $41,704 $1,500 $40,204
Libertyville Chevrolet Libertyville, IL $42,946 $2,500 $40,446
Ray Chevrolet Fox Lake, IL $41,422 $1,000 $40,422
The City’s fleet of pickups, one ton dumps, and police equipment is 98% GM products.
The City has had very good experience with these vehicles and has a good working
relationship with surrounding GM dealerships. With a majority of the fleet being GM
vehicles, the mechanics are able to streamline repair services and the parts inventory is
minimized due to many common parts. Warranty work can be completed at any GM
dealership and parts are readily available throughout the area. Staff therefore
recommends awarding the bid to lowest bidder.
Savings from this Parks & Recreation Fund pick-up truck will offset the overage on pick-up
truck # 320, also being requested for approval to purchase during this evening’s City
Council meeting.

Truck for the Parks Section Included in the FY2014 Capital Equipment Budget
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization to award
a bid for the replacement of unit #320, a 2001 Chevrolet pickup truck used by the Parks
Section. Per the Purchasing Directive 3-5, staff sent bid specifications to multiple
dealerships, had the invitation to bid printed in two local newspapers, and placed all
specifications on the City’s website.
If the bids are awarded by City Council, staff anticipates receiving the replacement truck
in late September 2013.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The current unit #320 is a 2001 Chevrolet ½-ton pickup truck
with approximately 120,000 miles. It is a utility pick-up truck that is used throughout the
Section’s operations. It carries tools for multiple Parks and right-of-way maintenance to
include, barricades, materials, and small engine equipment.
The brake lines, fenders, rocker panels, and floor are all rotted out on this truck. Gaps
exist in the floor boards where the ground can be seen. In addition, this vehicle was in a
significant accident four years ago and the frame itself needed to be straightened.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Replacement of this truck was discussed at both the November
2012 and March 2013 budget meetings. As previously noted, all required bidding
procedures were adhered to and the following bids were received on May 2, 2013:
Dealership Location Bid Trade Net
Ray Chevrolet Fox Lake, IL $29,154 $1,500 $27,654
Libertyville Chev. Libertyville, IL $30,210 $2,500 $27,710

Although this particular vehicle is over budget, savings from the other truck being
purchased from this year’s Parks & Recreation Fund will offset the overage.

4. Award of Purchase for the Replacement of a One-Ton 4WD Pick-Up Truck for
the Water & Sewer Section Included in the F.Y. 2014 Capital Equipment Budget
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization to award
a bid for the replacement of unit # 903, a 2001 Chevrolet pick-up truck used by the Water
& Sewer Section. Per the Purchasing Directive 3-5, staff sent bid specifications to multiple
dealerships, had the invitation to bid printed in two local newspapers, and placed all

evening, staff anticipates receiving the replacement truck in November.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The current unit #903 is a 2001 Chevrolet ¾-ton 4WD pick-up
truck with approximately 66,000 miles. It is primarily used for hauling the Section’s heavier
loads to include manhole rings, basin frames, stone, and various minor pieces of
equipment for water and sewer repairs. The unit also assists with the annual snow
removal program.
The truck’s plow system is inoperable and this past winter was pieced together using plow
parts from a myriad of companies. The truck’s brake lines, rocker panels, and doors all
have significant rust and its cab floor is rotted through in multiple places. Finally, the truck
was recently taken out of service and is awaiting replacement of its water pump.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Replacement of this truck was discussed at the both the
November and March budget meetings. As previously noted, all required bidding
procedures were adhered to and the following bids were received on May 2, 2013:

5. Consideration of Ordinances Approving Recommendations from the
Building Review Board. (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 Building Review Board are presented to the City
Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
587 Illinois Road – The Building Review Board recommended approval of the demolition of the
existing house and approval of the site plan, building design, exterior materials and landscape
plan for the replacement residence. The Board received testimony from several neighbors
during its consideration of this petition. In response to the neighbors’ comments, the plan was
revised to reduce the impact of the garage and driveway on the neighboring homes and
overall streetscape, enhance the landscaping along property lines and refine several
architectural elements and details. In response to a neighbor’s concern about drainage, the
Board recognized that prior to the issuance of a building permit, a final grading and drainage
plan will need to be submitted to the City and will be subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer. (Board vote: 4-0, approved)
2050 Saunders Road – The Building Review Board recommended approval of the demolition of
the existing house and approval of the site plan, building design, exterior materials and the
landscape plan for the replacement residence. The Board received testimony from a neighbor
regarding drainage concerns in the larger Saunders Road area. (Board vote: 5-0, approved)
727 Bank Lane – The Building Review Board recommended approval of modification and
replacement of windows at Lake Forest Bank and Trust. No public testimony was presented to
the Board on this petition. (Board vote: 5-0, approved)
150 Saunders Road – The Building Review Board recommended approval of signage for a new
business, Dart Container Corporation on an existing monument base. No public testimony was
presented to the Board on this petition. (Board vote: 5-0, approved)

Ordinances approving each of the petitions listed above as recommended by the Building
Review Board, with key exhibits attached, are included in the Council packet beginning on
page 113. The Ordinances and complete exhibits are available for review in the Community
Development Department.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Waive first reading and grant final approval of the Ordinances
in accordance with the recommendations of the Building Review Board.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the five Omnibus items as presented.
ORDINANCES 8:40 p.m.
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending The City of Lake Forest Liquor Code
(Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY: VICTOR FILIPPINI, CITY ATTORNEY
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting final approval of an Ordinance
amending the City’s Liquor Code.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Mayor is the designated Liquor Commissioner. In such
the Commissioner and the City Council have the authority to establish licensing and other
regulations related to the sale of alcoholic beverages. Periodically, staff receives
requests for a new liquor license. Upon receipt of the request, the liquor code is reviewed
to ensure that the type of liquor license and number of liquor licenses are available for
each category. The City Council directed the City Attorney and City staff to take a
comprehensive look at the liquor code to make sure it was up to date and in
compliance with state law and current local practices. This Ordinance was approved for
first reading at your March 18 meeting, with further discussion at your April 15 Council
meeting. For your convenience a copy of the code amendment is on page 142 of your
council packet.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: If appropriate and should the City Council desire, approve
second reading of an Ordinance amending the liquor code as presented
2. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of an
Ordinance Amending Chapter 46, Section 10(E) of the City Code as it Relates to Fences in
Ravines and on Bluffs (Final approval)
PRESENTED BY CATHERINE CZERNIAK,
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: As a follow up to the City Council’s approval of first reading
of an Ordinance relating to fences in ravines and on bluffs, an Ordinance, with revised
language based on the Council’s direction and Plan Commission’s reconsideration, is
presented for final consideration.
12
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On February 19, 2013, the City Council granted first reading of an
Ordinance amending the Code to address fences in ravines and on bluffs. At that time, the
Council raised questions about the proposed amortization period for existing fences. At the
Council’s direction, the proposed amendment was redirected to the Plan Commission for
reconsideration after approval of first reading. Specifically, the Commission reconsidered: 1)
the language requiring the removal of existing fences in ravines and on bluffs within a specified
time frame and upon transfer of property to a new owner and 2) whether an opportunity for a
variance should be provided. The Commission heard additional testimony generally in support
of eliminating the requirement for existing fences to be removed so long as they remain in a
stable and upright condition.
At the conclusion of the public hearing and deliberation, the Plan Commission voted
unanimously to recommend revisions to the proposed amendment striking the provision
requiring existing fences to be removed either after a specific time period or prior to a
transfer of property ownership. The Commission retained language providing the
opportunity for a variance from the prohibition of fences in ravines or on bluffs subject to
consideration of specific criteria through the normal public review process.
The Code amendment language as recommended by the Plan Commission after further
review is included in the Ordinance which begins on page 174 of the Council packet.
The changes made since first reading are highlighted for the Council’s information.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Grant final approval of an Ordinance amending Chapter 46,
Section 10(E) of the City Code pertaining to fences in ravines and on bluffs.

ILLINOIS COOL CITIES SURVEY
Name of Cool City: __________Lake Forest_____________________ ________
Cool City Adoption Date: _____November 27, 2007_______________________

1. Please describe your city’s efforts to reach the goals of the Climate Protection
Agreement. Please include major tactics you implemented in your community.
In April of 2011, Lake Forest completed its first energy and emissions inventory using 2007 as
the baseline year. The inventory revealed that the community and government operations
emitted approximately 402,000 metric tons of CO 2 e in 2007 with 82% of the emissions coming
from residential, commercial and industrial energy usage.
Lake Forest also recognized the unique opportunity in 2011 to reduce emissions and energy
costs through municipal electricity aggregation. The City played a leadership role in forming the
North Shore Electricity Aggregation Consortium (NSEAC) with seven other neighboring
communities to evaluate options for selecting an alternative supplier.
In April of 2012, the NSEAC selected MC Squared Energy Services (MC2) as its electricity
supplier at a price 41% below the current ComEd rate. Lake Forest also selected the supplier’s
100% renewable option to demonstrate the City’s environmental stewardship and to achieve the
goals of the Climate Protection Agreement (CPA).
The lower cost, 100% renewable electricity began flowing to the residents and businesses of
Lake Forest in June. Lake Forest residents have collectively saved $318,000 at the end of July
and are projected to save $1.69 million ($250 per household) by the end of 2012.
2. Does your community have a climate action plan? If possible, please include a web link
to your plan or attach a copy.
Lake Forest does not currently have a climate action plan. However, the City recently
established the Lake Forest Consortium for Environmental Leadership (Consortium), a
cooperative venture created to develop a comprehensive Sustainability Plan (which will include

a focus on energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions) and to collaborate on programs to
promote and implement the Plan. Members of the Consortium may include the City of Lake
Forest, Lake Forest College, Lake Forest Elementary School District 67, Lake Forest High
School District 115, and the Lake Forest Open Lands Association.
The Consortium’s goal is to bring together the collective resources of the member institutions to
encourage environmental awareness and action to protect Lake Forest’s unique natural
heritage, enhance residents’ quality of life, contribute to creating a healthier community and
local ecosystems, expand resident pride in the community and its conservation ethic, and
demonstrate the importance of a sustainable community to economic vitality and regional
prosperity.
3. Was your community able to assess baseline greenhouse gas emission? If so, what year
did you use for your baseline? Please include any links or documents that are relevant.
Lake Forest assessed its baseline greenhouse gas emissions using 2007 as the baseline year
(see http://www.cityoflakeforest.com/pdf/GREENTEAM/emissions%20inventory.pdf).
4. Were you able to document emissions reductions from your efforts? Please include as
much detail as you can.
The recently completed emissions inventory revealed 402,000 metric tons of CO 2 e in 2007 for
Lake Forest. Assuming a 0.71% CAGR over the 17 year period between 1990 and 2007 based
on population growth, Lake Forest estimates their 1990 emissions to be approximately 357,000
metric tons. As illustrated below, the CPA goal of a 7% reduction below 1990 levels translates
into a 20% reduction below 2012 levels, or a reduction of approximately 85,000 metric tons.
MC2 forecasts that Lake Forest will purchase 60,513 MWh of renewable electricity from June
through December 2012. Subtracting the 6% of renewable electricity that would have been
30
included with ComEd under the Illinois Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirement, Lake
Forest will use 56,882 MWh of “additional” renewable electricity in 2012.
According to the EPA Green Power Equivalency Calculator (see
http://www.epa.gov/greenpower/pubs/calculator.htm) and assuming that this renewable
generation is located in Illinois or Indiana and split evenly between the RFC West and SERC
Midwest sub regions, this is equivalent to a reduction of 50,670 metric tons of CO 2 , or 60% of
the CPA goal of 85,000 tons.
Considering a full twelve months (June 2012 through May 2013) under the new supplier, MC2
forecasts that Lake Forest will purchase 102,276 MWh of renewable energy. After subtracting
the 6% RPS requirement, Lake Forest will use 96,139 of “additional” renewable electricity.
Using the same calculator and assumptions as above, this is equivalent to a reduction of 85,640
metric tons of CO 2 or 101% of the CPA goal.
5. What were the major obstacles to reaching your goals, or to implementing them?
Given the current abundance of renewable energy in the Midwest, the significant gap between
the ComEd price and market prices for electricity, and the associated savings potential for
residents and small businesses, there was very little resistance in the community to the
adoption of 100% renewable energy. The Mayor and City Manager were strongly supportive
and the City Council approved the adoption of the new MC2 contract unanimously.
A larger challenge lies ahead as market prices fluctuate and the current MC2 pricing expires.
Lake Forest may face more difficult decisions if 100% renewable energy becomes significantly
more expensive than standard electricity.
Recognizing this potential challenge, the Consortium will incorporate both energy efficiency and
other renewable energy supply options into the creation of the Lake Forest Sustainability Plan.
6. Is there anything Sierra Club can do to help your community implement its climate
action goals?
The Consortium would value input and participation from the Sierra Club as it begins the
development of the Lake Forest Sustainability Plan.
7. Is your community interested in continuing to implement global warming solutions?
Will you adopt the Local Sustainability Agreement 2015 goals? (see attached)__Yes_____
Yes, Lake Forest is interested in continuing to implement global warming solutions. Specific
actions will be defined during the development of the Lake Forest Sustainability Plan.
31
8. Is there anything else you would like to share?
In additional to adopting a renewable electricity supply and creation of the Consortium for
Environmental Leadership, Lake Forest has continued to demonstrate its commitment to
conservation and environmental stewardship. Recent examples include:
• More than 800 acres of prairie, wetlands and woodlands owned or managed by Lake
Forest Open Lands Association, the first Illinois land trust to be accredited by the Land
Trust Accreditation Commission
• Named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation for 31 consecutive
years, reflecting Lake Forest’s commitment to community forestry
• Implemented a highly successful residential recycling program with 2,700 tons of waste
(37% of the total) diverted from the landfill in 2011
• Completed a new LEED Gold Municipal Services Facility which serves as a model for
new construction in the region
• Restored savannahs and ravines on the campus of Lake Forest College and integrated
restoration ecology into the College’s curriculum
• Developing a Bicycle Master Plan to provide safe bike connectivity throughout the City
and to encourage residents to drive less
• Developing a “Re-Greening Lake Forest” strategy in response to the expected loss of
more than 10,000 ash trees over the next five years due to the emerald ash borer. The
City believes that this provides a unique opportunity to increase the diversity and
percentage of native species within our tree population through a collaborative,
community-wide replanting effort.

included in the GCC Maintenance Obligations. The City's obligation to perform
the responsibilities set forth in this Section 10.D.2 shall be subject to the City
Council authorizing sufficient funds for performing such responsibilities in the
Council's sole and absolute discretion, and the failure or refusal of the City Council
to so authorize sufficient funds shall not be a breach of any obligation of the City
under this Agreement, even if such failure or refusal requires the GCC to modify i ts
use, occupancy, or programming relating to the Property.

the approval of the City pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the City Council.
In each instance where City Council approval of naming rights is required, the City Council's
determinations with respect to naming rights shall be in its sole legislative discretion based on the
City Council's determination of the best interests of the City and its residents. Any deliberations
by the City Council regarding naming rights under this Subsection 10.F shall take place in

amount shall b e adjusted every t en years to reflect changes in the CPI)(the "Threshold Amount"),
the GCC shall certify to the City that the donation exceeds the Threshold Amount, but GCC shall
not be required to disclose the specific amount of the donation. Nothing shall prevent the GCC

grant is not inconsistent with the terms of this Section 10.F, and provided that such grant of naming
rights is subject to terms allowing termination resulting from illegal or immoral acts of the grantee.
The City waives all rights to any donations or contributions made in connection with the granting
of any naming rights that comport with the terms of this Subsection 10.F. Any Naming Rights

RESOLUTION DECLARING A SURPLUS OF, AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF, AND
ESTABLISHING COVENANTS RELATED TO CERTAIN CITY-OWNED REAL ESTATE

WHEREAS, the Subject Property is currently zoned in the R-4, Single Family

Council hereby authorize the sale of the Subject Property as surplus real property at a price

ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 46, Section 21(A) of the City Code
as it Relates to the Terms for Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals as
Recommended by the Plan Commission. (First reading, and if desired by the City
Council, final approval)
Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development, spoke to Council about modifying the terms
for Zoning Board of Appeals members to align with the terms of various other development related
Boards and Commissions. Currently, Zoning Board of Appeals members serve one 5-year term. The
other Boards and Commissions that deal with development-related issues, the Building Review Board,
Historic Preservation Commission, the Construction Codes Commission and the Plan Commission, have
2-year terms, however, members may be reappointed and may serve up to three 2-year terms for a
total of six years.
The Caucus’ suggestion to align the terms was simply in recognition of the fact that it may be easier for a
volunteer to commit to serving a 2-year term, with the opportunity of serving additional terms, than to
commit up front to a 5-year term. Since the City of Lake Forest is a Home Rule community, the City has
the authority to set the length of the terms for the Zoning Board of Appeals members as it determines
to be appropriate.
Alderman Reisenberg moved to waive the first reading, seconded by Alderman Pandaleon. The
following voted “Yea” Aldermen Novit, Waldeck, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The
following voted “Nay” None. 7 Yea 0 Nay, Motion carried.
Alderman Reisenberg then so moved to grant final approval of an Ordinance amending Chapter 46,
Section 21(A) of the City Code as it relates to the terms for members of the Zoning Board of Appeals,
111
seconded by Alderman Pandaleon. The following voted “Yea” Aldermen Novit, Waldeck, Pandaleon,
Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted “Nay” None. 7 Yea 0 Nay, Motion carried.
1. Award of Bid for The City of Lake Forest Janitorial Service Contract Included in the
F.Y. 2014 - 2016 Operating Budgets
Superintendent of Public Works, Dan Martin, advised Council that The City’s current janitorial services
are made up of multiple agreements with the same contractor that are independently managed through
several City departments. The original contract consisted of 7 buildings. Over the years it increased to 15
locations, totaling approximately 160,000 cleanable square feet. Each of the 15 locations has varying
cleaning schedules and specifications to support the building or programing needs of the department.
The base janitorial services are primarily performed in the evening hours. The day time janitorial
services needed at the Recreation Center are accomplished by using a single day porter managed by the
Recreation Program staff.
Staff continually examines ways to improve operations to be more efficient and cost-effective. The
janitorial services contract was one of several service contracts identified by staff last year to be
competitively bid out based on the large total annual dollar amount of $271,000. In addition, staff
realized that the potential for better pricing could be achieved by consolidating all the agreements
under one contract. Over the course of the year staff consulted with residents (pro-bono)that are
experts in the property management industry, neighboring communities, and contractors, to develop a
comprehensive bid packet that consolidated all the janitorial service locations.
On March 22, 2013, staff received twelve (12) bids for this contract. Crystal Maintenance Services Inc.
was the lowest qualified bid for $171,639.50. With a potential 63% cost difference, staff conducted a
thorough interview with this vendor and contacted numerous references. Crystal Maintenance Services
Inc. met all of the required contract specifications and their references gave favorable responses. If
awarded the contract, Crystal Maintenance Services could begin June 1, 2013.
Crystal Maintenance Services Inc. is located in Mount Prospect, IL. They are a family owned company
that has been in business for more than 20 years. They currently have 100 employees servicing
approximately 54 accounts. It is apparent Crystal Maintenance has developed a “niche market”
specializing in servicing municipalities. Of the 54 accounts they service, 34 or 63% of them are municipal
accounts. Some local accounts include The City of Highland Park, Village of Niles, Village of Northbrook,
Village of Bartlett, and the Lake County Forest Preserve.
Crystal Maintenance Services Inc. is certified by the Green Clean Institute. New to the bid requirements
was that all contractors needed to either hold a 3rd party green cleaning certificate from a reputable
company or be able to acquire certification within six months.
This certification requires the company to have all employees, from officers to front line staff, complete
an extensive training course on green cleaning techniques and on the proper use of environmentally
112
safe cleaning chemicals. The Green Clean Institute also conducts random inspections on the certified
company and its work force.
Alderman Pandaleon thanked staff for asking him to join in the conversation regarding this topic as the
percentage of savings is staggering at forty (40%) percent.
Alderman Novit moved to award a contract for Janitorial Services for 15 municipal facilities to Crystal
Maintenance Services Inc. in the amount of $514,918.50 for FY 14-Fy 16, seconded by Alderman
Pandaleon. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Novit, Waldeck, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer
