February 3, 2014 City Council Agenda
On October 21, 2013 the City Council heard a presentation from Michael Kolec, the
Campaign Manager for YES for Independent Maps. Mr. Kolec reported on the bipartisan
efforts to bring about state legislative map redistricting reform by getting an amendment
on the November 2014 general election ballot. The reform would take drawing of the
maps away from impacted elected officials and put it into the hands of an eleven
member independent commission that included republicans, democrats and
independents. The Resolution encourages Lake Forest voters to learn more about this
critical state-wide initiative prior to the November, 2014 elections. The proposed resolution
and additional background information begins on page 23.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the Proposed Resolution Encouraging Residents to become
informed on the Independent Redistricting Amendment.
5. City Council Approval to Waive the Bidding Process and Authorize a
Provisional Salt Purchase for the 2013/2014 Winter
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council approval to purchase
additional road salt for the current winter season. If bulk road salt is found in the region,
staff is requesting that the quantity requested and the cost per ton be reviewed and
approved by both the Public Works and Finance Committee Chairmen prior to the
purchase. Bulk road salt is in such short supply throughout the Midwest that if any is
found, a decision to purchase it must be made within hours of receiving a quote.
In order to conserve the City’s salt supply, beginning on January 27, 2014 snow operations
reduced salt usage to main streets, hills, curves, intersections, and parking lots after the
snow has stopped falling; residential side streets will not be salted. Snow plowing will not
be affected and in some cases may increase simply to continue to scrape the snow
pack off the streets.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As of Monday, January 27, 2014, the City has used 2,734
tons of salt. 550 tons remain in storage and the final 20% overage allowed by the State
bidding process (250 tons) is expected to be delivered the week of February 3rd, 2014.
Staff has spoken with many of the surrounding communities and found that all of them
are in a similar predicament. Some cities have run out of salt completely and either
cannot find additional salt or do not have the funds available to purchase their needed
quantity.
Staff contacted five salt companies and was informed by all five that they do not have
any additional salt available. A sixth company told staff that they had salt but it was in
Utah and to ship it the 1,400+ miles would be cost prohibitive. Staff contacted a seventh
salt company and was told that their delivery was due into Aurora towards the end of
January and that it may yield a few hundred extra tons that had not been spoken for;
staff will be following up with the company to see if any volume is available.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: To date the City has fulfilled this year’s State bid contract with
Morton Salt by purchasing its 1,200 tons and the 20% overage authorized by City Council
on March 18, 2013. Since road salt inventory carries from one fiscal year to the next, it is
3
February 3, 2014 City Council Agenda
expensed when it is actually used; not when it is received. To date in F.Y. 2014, the City
has expensed $217,000 on road salt and calcium chloride.

COUNCIL ACTION: Staff recommends that City Council waive the bidding requirements
and approve additional road salt purchase(s) upon final review and approval by both
the Public Works and Finance Committee Chairmen for the remaining winter months. If
desired by the City Council and purchases exceed $20,000, the City Council could ratify
the purchases at a later date.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the Five (5) Omnibus items as presented.
6. ORDINANCES 8:00 p.m.
1. Consideration of an Ordinance approving a Fee Schedule for The City of
Lake Forest (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Alderman Kent Novit, Public Works Committee Chairman and
Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests first reading of an Ordinance approving
a modified fee schedule for The City of Lake Forest.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: At various City Council Committee meetings over the past
several months, the subject of the City’s water rate structure has been discussed. The
matter was first presented at an October 2013 long term financial planning discussion
with the Finance Committee. Two issues of concern were noted in regards to the Water
system. First was the issue of water conservation and how to incentivize consumers to
reduce water use during peak demand periods in the summer to minimize the need to
impose water restrictions, recognizing that increasing the capacity of the water plant at
a significant capital cost for a few days out of the year was likely not economically
feasible. Second was the increased capital needs of the water system forecast in the
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which would require additional funding over the
coming years. A third issue that has now arisen over the course of the discussions is the
structure of the water rate - the proportion of the utility’s costs that are appropriately
covered by the fixed portion of the water rate versus the variable rate (consumption
charge). In December, the Finance Committee deferred the matter to the Public Works
Committee to vet the numerous scenarios developed by staff and to develop a
recommendation for consideration.
4
February 3, 2014 City Council Agenda
At its January 13, 2014, meeting, the Public Works Committee recommended increases to
the City’s water rates effective May 1, 2014 as follows:
Customer Charge – Water (Inside) Current Rate Proposed Rate*
Small (5/8” to 1.5” meter) $20/Quarter $25/Quarter
Medium (2” to 4” meter) $100/Quarter $125/Quarter
Large (6” and above meter) $500/Quarter $625/Quarter
Water Sales/1,000 Gallons – Lake Forest
Residential Customers:
1st Tier Usage to 60k Gallons/Qtr $5.14 $5.14
2nd Tier Usage over 60k Gallons/Qtr $5.14 $5.40
Other Customers:
All Consumption $5.14 $5.30
*Note: The proposed ordinance applies similar adjustments to rates outside Lake Forest.
The proposed rate increase would ensure proper funding of the FY15 Water Fund
operating budget and the Water Fund Capital Improvement Program (CIP), while also
beginning to incentivize conservation for residential consumers whose increased
consumption during summer months pose a challenge to the Public Works’ Department’s
ability to produce sufficient water to meet peak demand periods within the Water
Treatment Plant’s capacity. This peak demand results in the need to impose water
restrictions and in extreme cases, sprinkling bans, to ensure sufficient water to meet non-
recreational needs.
The Public Works Committee also recommended that the City explore alternative
conservation measures, such as public education and incentive programs to entice
owners of sprinkling systems to replace or upgrade controllers.
The attached survey on page38 demonstrates that the City of Lake Forest’s water rate
continues to be competitive with surrounding communities.
Based on discussion at the January 21, 2014 Finance Committee meeting, staff will be
prepared to present additional options for the City Council’s consideration on February 3
should the City Council desire further discussion on alternatives to the Public Works
Committee recommendation.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed rate increase is projected to generate $255,639 in
additional revenue for Fiscal Year 2015, based on consumption for the 12-month period
ended September 2013.
The projected increase in cost for typical consumers annually is as follows:
• Single resident with minimal summer landscape water consumption - $21/year
• Family with summer landscape water consumption - $36/year
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant first reading of the Ordinance (page 39) approving a fee
schedule for The City of Lake Forest.

Regular City Council Meeting
Subdivision. The Property is Located on the north side of Green Briar Lane, east
of Maywood Road and is Commonly Known as 700 Green Briar Lane. (Approval
of a Motion Granting Tentative and Final Plat Approval)
Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development told the Council that In November, 2013,
the Plan Commission considered a request from the owners of the 44,377 square foot property
located at 700 Green Briar Lane for approval of a two lot re-subdivision. The property is currently
developed with one single family house which was built in 1953. The Property is currently zoned
R-4. After subdivision, the two newly configured lots, each 22,197 square feet in size, will be
redeveloped with new residences. The Plan Commission held a public hearing to consider the
request and heard testimony from two neighboring property owners about drainage problems in
the area. In response to the testimony, the Plan Commission recommended conditions of
approval that include a drainage easement at the time the two lots are developed. In addition, the
Commission recommended a condition requiring that at the time grading and drainage plans are
submitted for new development on the lots, the plans are made available to the neighboring
property owner to provide an opportunity for coordination of grading and drainage
improvements.
She reported that the Plan Commission voted 5 to 0 in favor of a tentative and final plat approval
for the Green Briar re-subdivision to the City Council. City staff from Public Works - Engineering
and Community Development met with the neighboring property owner to discuss the proposed
development and to review improvements that could be made, in coordination with the new
development, to improve the existing situation. As plans for development of the lots move
forward, City staff will continue to communicate with the neighboring property owner and identify
opportunities for coordination.
James Hopkinsen of 744 Greenbriar offered his opinion on the topic.
Ann Russel, neighbor to the east of the property offered her opinion on the topic.
Since the opinion offered referred to a ravine that had been filled in, City Engineer, Bob Ells
offered that the Lake County Watershed Ordinance would be adhered to in the new plans. City
Attorney Victor Filippini explained to the City Council that the Illinois Drainage Act protects
neighbors.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, approve a motion
granting tentative and final plat approval for the Green Briar Re-Subdivision subject to
conditions as recommended by the Plan Commission.
Alderman Reisenberg made a motion to approve a motion granting tentative and final plat
approval for the Green Briar Re-Subdivision subject to conditions as recommended by the Plan
Commission, seconded by Alderman Pandaleon. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Novit,
Waldeck, Moore, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted “Nay”:
None. 8 Yeas, 0 Nays, motion carried.

Regular City Council Meeting
2. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of
the Overall Site Plan, Architectural Design, Exterior Lighting Plan and Landscape
Concept Plan for the Revitalization of Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital.
(Approval of a Resolution.)
Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development, said that the City Council is asked to
consider a recommendation from the Plan Commission relating to approval of plans for the
replacement hospital on the Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital Campus. In September, 2011, the
Plan Commission began consideration of a new Master Plan to guide the revitalization of the
Hospital campus. After many months of review, public input and deliberation by the Plan
Commission and City Council, the Master Plan, along with a Special Use Permit, was approved by
the City Council on October 1, 2012. Since that time, the Hospital project team has been in the
design development phase, working closely with the City Manager’s Hospital Advisory Committee
and City staff. An overall site plan was developed and refined, the building massing and design
elements took shape, a site lighting plan was prepared and landscape themes and concepts were
established for the various areas of the campus. Work continues on a detailed landscape plan and
overall signage plan.
On December 11, 2013, the overall site plan, architectural design of the building, exterior lighting
plan and landscape concepts were presented to the Plan Commission with a report and
recommendation for approval from the City Manager’s Advisory Committee.
After hearing a presentation of the plans, the Plan Commission commended the plans noting that
they comply with the approved Master Plan and the Special Use Permit and in some respects go
beyond the specific requirements of those documents to address concerns raised during the
public discussions about the Master Plan. Ms. Czerniak summarized key aspects as listed below:
• The replacement Hospital is located away from neighboring residential properties,
centrally located on the eastern portion of the site.
• The height of the replacement Hospital is lower than permitted by the Master Plan. The
horizontal massing of the building, with a series of vertical pavilions, further minimizes the
appearance of height and building mass.
• Significant open space is provided on the campus with “no build” preserved open space
setback areas along the perimeters of the campus.
• A direct road connection from the center of the Hospital campus to Route 41 was
completed as required by the previous approvals. The road is open for traffic and will
support the majority of the construction traffic as work gets underway on the site later
this year.
Additionally, she said that the public comments presented to the Plan Commission primarily
focused on minimizing traffic impacts, including headlights, on Lake Forest Place and assuring that
the no build buffer areas and the perimeters of the campus are adequately landscaped to provide
screening for residential properties and adjacent streetscapes .
Mayor Schoenheider introduced Thomas McAfee, President and CEO of Northwestern Lake Forest
Hospital, offered thanks as they worked through this complicated process with feedback from
Campus Partners. Mr. McAfee thanked Staff Catherine Czerniak and her staff, the Hospital
10

Regular City Council Meeting
advisory Board and Bob Kiely, and remarked that this Hospital will serve generations of health care
needs.
Mayor Schoenheider offered his thanks to Thomas McAfee and City Staff for bringing this type of
world class health care to Lake Forest. He stated that The City Council is grateful to the Hospital
Advisory Committee for the hours of work that advocate for the process.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, approve a Resolution
affirming conformance with the Special Use Permit and Master Plan and approving the overall
site plan, architectural design, exterior lighting plan and the landscape concepts plan, all subject
to conditions, as recommended by the Plan Commission.
Alderman Reisenberg made a motion to approve a Resolution affirming conformance with the
Special Use Permit and Master Plan and approving the overall site plan, architectural design,
exterior lighting plan and the landscape concepts plan, all subject to conditions, as recommended
by the Plan Commission, seconded by Alderman Novit. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen
Novit, Waldeck, Moore, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted
“Nay”: None. 8 Yeas, 0 Nays, motion carried.
3. Approval of a Resolution Directing Staff to Prepare a Contract for Police and Fire
Emergency 911 Dispatch Services with the Village of Glenview
City Manager Robert Kiley reminded the Council that this topic dates back to 2010 and that in July
2012, the Village of Lake Bluff, City of Lake Forest and City of Highland Park contracted with Matrix
Consulting Group to conduct a feasibility study of consolidating 9-1-1 public safety dispatch
operations. The Consulting group submitted multiple options to the municipalities in September.
At an open meeting of the three City Councils that was held on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 at
7:00 p.m. at the Highland Park Country Club, Matrix Consulting Group presented the final draft of
the consolidation study along with the Task Force recommendation. He added that questions from
the City Council members as well as the public present were responded to. At the end of the
meeting, the consensus of the City Council members present was to proceed with bringing the
preferred option (consolidated services with Glenview, housed at Highland Park Police Station) to
each respective City Council at formal meetings in January of 2014 with a resolution to proceed
with seeking a contract to provide said services in the manner prescribed. The City of Highland
Park approved the proposed Resolution its January 13 meeting. The Village of Lake Bluff is
considering the Resolution at its January 27 meeting.
Mr. Kiley added that this Resolution doesn’t make the final decision, and that Highland Park and
Lake Bluff would be in negotiations for contract services. Along with performance metrics, quality
of service will be maintained under any consolidation moving forward.
11
Proceedings of the January 21, 2014
Regular City Council Meeting
Alderman Waldeck opened discussions regarding the timeliness of service. She asked that when a
resident calls 911, and should this consolidation not be successful, how would a community turn
back?
Alderman Novit stated that we need to optimize revenues and with communication and
technology improving so quickly and precisely, The City Council has an obligation to explore it.
Alderman Palmer said he was impressed with the people and the camaraderie of the City of Lake
Forest staff, but is confident that there will not be a drop off in service and that there is a greater
value in the consolidation as there is not currently a backup for the City of Lake Forest.
Alderman Pandaleon offered his understanding that consolidation is coming and that by acting
now with like-minded communities, the City of Lake Forest would actually maintain greater
control, without compromising service.
Alderman Adelman gave a breakdown of the cost of $1.9 million over 5 years as to be $62.00 per
household and asked what the cost of writing this contract would be.
City Manager Robert Kiley stated the cost is fixed, and that the three communities had the same
legal counsel. He also stated that performance metrics are a part of the contract, and that the City
of Lake Forest will be the first community to have redundant 24/7 operating system. And that
quality of service would most likely go up.
Mayor Schoenheider added that this Resolution has the full backing of Chiefs Howell and Held.
And that consolidation is the next best alternative: it will keep the City of Lake Forest in control.
He recognized it will be sad to lose dedicated employees. He reiterated that Public Safety is the
number one concern in the community.
Mrs. William Frost, a 70 year resident, offered her opinion on this topic.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the Resolution directing the preparation of a contract for services
with the Village of Glenview for emergency 911 dispatching.
Alderman Palmer made a motion to Approve the Resolution directing the preparation of a
contract for services with the Village of Glenview for emergency 911 dispatching, seconded by
Alderman Pandaleon. The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Novit, Waldeck, Moore, Pandaleon,
Tack, Reisenberg, Palmer and Adelman. The following voted “Nay”: None. 8 Yeas, 0 Nays, motion
carried.
