3. Consideration of an Ordinance Establishing the 2014 Tax Levy (First
Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of an
Ordinance establishing the 2014 tax levy.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The annual tax levy must be filed with the County Clerk by
the last Tuesday in December. The City has a significant reliance on property tax
revenues, which represents more than 50% of the General Fund revenue. Spreadsheets
reviewing the proposed tax levy for 2014 are attached (page 34) for your consideration.
These include: 1) the tax levy limitations under the tax cap; 2) the tax levy distributed by
fund without new growth and allowances distributed; 3) the tax levy by fund with new
growth and allowances distributed; and 4) an explanation of the tax increase to an
average homeowner.
The tax levy to be approved includes the needs of all City departments, as well as for
pensions and debt service requirements. A summary of the proposed levies is as follows:
2
November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed tax levy for 2014 reflects a 1.88% increase over the
2013 tax levy extensions for the City and Library operating funds and City pension and
debt service funds. This increase is comprised of the 1.50% property tax cap increase on
those levy lines subject to the tax cap; debt service bond levies as previously approved
by City Council bond Ordinances, subject to abatement for debt paid by alternate
revenue sources; and increases attributable to new construction. The average increase
to existing residents ($800,000 home) is projected to be $49 or 1.48%.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant first reading of an Ordinance Establishing the 2014 Tax Levy
(page 25).
4. Approval of Ordinances Abating 2014 Tax Levies for Various G.O.
Alternate Revenue Bond Issues (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of ordinances
abating 2014 tax levies.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The proposed Ordinances provide for the abatement of
2014 taxes levied for the various outstanding general obligation ALTERNATE REVENUE
bond issues. The tax levies for all bond issues are established and recorded with the
County Clerk at the time the bonds are issued. Therefore, in order to reduce the bond
tax levies, an abatement ordinance must be approved and filed with the County Clerk
before the last Tuesday in December. The abatement of these general obligation
ALTERNATE REVENUE bonds is possible due to the fact these bond funds have an
adequate revenue source from water sales, Cemetery revenue, golf fees, sales tax or
payments from the U.S. Treasury. Therefore, the general obligation tax levy can be
abated as was planned at the time the bonds were issued. The proposed Ordinances
(beginning on page 38) are as follows:

PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Finance Committee 10/20/14 Status report on discussions with School
District 67.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In July 1994, the City and School District 67 executed an
Intergovernmental Community Facilities Financing Agreement (“the IGA”) that set forth
provisions for ongoing communication, cooperation and consultation related to the
housing of school-aged children within the public school system. Pursuant to the IGA,
which expired in July 2014, the City has utilized Tax Increment Financing (TIF) money to
support improvements at Everett School and established Special Service Areas (SSAs)
associated with specific developments to support constructing new school facilities,
school improvements or additions required to provide educational services and facilities
to the student population within the SSAs. In 1998 and 1999, School District 67 issued $12.8
million in bonds to address long-term facility needs and anticipated SSA tax assessments
to fund a portion of the debt service.
Due to the fact that the five School District SSAs currently in place have generated
nominal school district enrollment, City and SD67 representatives have discussed for more
than a year the possibility of terminating the SSAs in advance of their scheduled
termination. Agreement has been reached that would allow the City Council to adopt
5
November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
ordinances terminating SSAs 15, 33, 34, 35, and 36 eliminating tax assessments beginning
with the 2014 levy year.
In a related matter, the 1994 IGA included some non-SSA items that need to be
concluded, and representatives of the City and SD67 have been discussing steps to
close-out those items. In the course of those discussions, City and SD67 representatives
have discussed certain property in the Middlefork subdivision development that was
deeded to the City but set aside for a park and future school site. The School District has
agreed to relinquish its interest in the future school site so that the property will remain a
park/open space, subject to a payment from the City.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Payment of $350,000 would be made to School District 67 upon
approval of the agreement addressed in the Proposed Resolution. This payment would
be made from the General Fund contingency allocated in the FY2015 appropriations
ordinance.

B. Property and Public Lands Committee
1. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Property and Public
Lands Committee in Support of a Resolution Authorizing a Purchase
Agreement for Property Located on the Northwest Corner of Western
and Laurel Avenues, the Former Municipal Services Site. (Approve
the Resolution by Motion.)
PRESENTED BY: Alderman Reisenberg, Chairman of the Property and Public Lands
Committee
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Property and Public Lands Committee (PPL)
recommends that the City Council approve a Resolution Authorizing a Purchase
Agreement with Focus Development for the property commonly known as the former
City of Lake Forest Municipal Services site. The Resolution authorizes the City Manager,
the City’s Consultant and the City Attorney to finalize the terms of the Agreement and
authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On September 2, 2104, the City Council approved a
Resolution authorizing negotiations with Focus Development, Inc. Focus Development
was recommended to the City Council by the PPL at the conclusion of an extensive
vetting process which included Requests for Qualifications and Proposals. The PPL
determined that the redevelopment concepts for the approximately 10 acre site
presented by Focus best met the Development Parameters established for the site
through a community visioning process in 2007 and 2008 and amended in 2012. The
6
November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
highlights of the redevelopment concepts include significant open space that would be
accessible to the public, high quality architecture, a variety of housing types, enhanced
streetscapes and extensive landscaping.
Upon approval of the Purchase Agreement, Focus Development will proceed with
preparing a detailed land use plan, conducting the necessary technical studies and
developing detailed architectural and landscape plans. An introduction of the
redevelopment concepts for the site is tentatively scheduled for December 10, 2015 Plan
Commission meeting pending Council approval of the Resolution. Public hearings on this
project are anticipated before the Plan Commission and Building Review Board in
January and February, 2015. Following the public hearings, the City Council will receive
recommendations from both the Plan Commission and Building Review Board on all
aspects of the project.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The purchase price as established in the Purchase Agreement
will be made public upon execution of the Purchase agreement. The closing is
anticipated to occur mid-summer, 2015.
As a related, but separate action, the City Council has directed that the Plan
Commission consider the establishment of a Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) for the
site to support cleanup, infrastructure improvements and streetscape enhancements.
The TIF District that was established many years ago to support improvements along
Waukegan Road successfully added value to that area and resulted in significant
increases in property values. A public hearing will be held by the Plan Commission on
December 10, 2014 to consider the establishment of the TIF District.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, approve a
Resolution authorizing and directing the City Manager, the City’s Consultant and the City
Attorney to finalize the terms of the Purchase Agreement and to authorize the Mayor and
City Clerk to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City.

7
November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City provides a self-funded medical and dental plan.
The cost of the City plan each year is determined by actual claims, fixed costs for
administration, reinsurance, and costs for life insurance.
Administration and billing services are currently provided by Professional Benefit
Administrators (PBA). Stop Loss coverage is placed with ING. Life coverage is placed with
Cigna Life. Preferred Provider Network administration is provided through Cigna.
Pharmacy card services are provided by ServeYou Rx. Note that Cigna Life insurance is
currently under a contractual rate guaranteed until January 2017.
A formal Request for Proposal process was completed in the fall of 2013 for Life
coverage, as well as stop loss and transplant coverage. The Stop Loss, Transplant
Coverage, and Administration Services were not bid this year due to favorable renewal
underwriting with no excluded claims, as well as renewal results. The logistics of
implementing the Affordable Care Act expanded eligibility, with associated uncertainty
regarding assumed health conditions, is also a factor in the recommendation to renew
with current providers. In January 2015, the requirement that all employees (including
part time employees) working 30 hours a week be offered coverage takes effect for our
plan.
Alternative carriers will all require a detailed review of our claims through the end of the
year, and several carriers are likely to require laser exclusions. The practice of using
“Laser” underwriting allows for lower premium costs in exchange for self-insuring amounts
above the standard specific deductible ($125,000).
The medical and dental renewal projection represents an increase of approximately 6%
from 2014 terms based on estimated paid claims, consistent with lower than industry
trend rates. The Aggregate Loss projection from ING/Voya, is projected to represent an
increase of 11% over 2014 terms.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Recommendations based on renewal quotes:
• Retain Serve You Rx Pharmacy Benefit Administration for Prescription Drug Card
services. The current contract was effective January of 2012, and renegotiated this
year to include a one year contract period with the ability to renegotiate in one year.
o Serve You administration costs and rebates are improving over the current
contract. Estimated savings total $38,869 annually.
Summary Pricing Current Proposed
Retail Brand Discount 13.5% 15%
Retail Generic Discount 68% 72%
Mail Order Brand Discount 20.8% 22.5%
Mail Order Generic Discount 71% 76%
Dispensing Fee $1.50 $1.25 Retail, $1.00 Mail
Rebates Retail/Mail per Script $12/$43 $16/$56
8
November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
o Staff recommends additional Pharmacy utilization tools (Dose Limits and
Optimization, Generic Incentives, Mandatory Mail Order and Prior
Authorization) be adopted. Anticipated Savings total $56,442 annually.
• Retain Professional Benefit Administrators (PBA) for administration and billing services
o PBA costs are among the lowest and service levels meet expectations
o There is no change to PBA costs for administration.
o Full RFP was not completed this year for Administrative processes since PBA is
meeting service expectations, and it is not deemed advisable to change
administrators at this point with the Affordable Care Act implementation.
• Retain preferred provider network administration with CIGNA, through PBA
o Estimated savings from managed care over last two years have been what
were anticipated.
o Cigna fees are increasing from $15.25 per participant/month to $15.53 per
participant per month, for a total cost increase of $724.20 annually at existing
enrollment levels.
• Retain ING for stop loss coverage based on favorable renewal negotiations.
o Covers paid claims estimated to be slightly higher than projections, based on
recent high claims expenditures early in 2014.
o The renewal provides no significant exclusions to normal contract terms, a
favorable result due to two ongoing claims that likely would result in exclusions
up to $75,000 each with other carriers.
o The ING/Voya Aggregate Claim Liability projection is higher than expected
paid claims, since all current claims are being considered as continuing under
the underwriting methodology, even though most of these claims are resolved
or will not impact the plan.
o Coverage is billed through PBA Billing Services.

• Renew Optum Health for Transplant Coverage, a component of Stop Loss Coverage.
The renewal results in a decrease in Transplant Premium, resulting in savings of $790
annually at our current enrollment.
o Transplant premiums reduce cost for Stop Loss Coverage.
o Optum was selected last year after a full RFP, including Stop Loss.
o Coverage is billed through PBA Billing Services.

Estimated Premium $40,370
• Retain CIGNA for life insurance

November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
o An RFP was completed last year. CIGNA offered the best rate and extended
the rate guarantee through 2016
o Cigna is the only bidder that meets the current contract terms without
significantly reducing the employee life insurance options
o The City pays CIGNA directly for Life Coverage
Cigna
Basic Life & AD&D/ $1,000 $0.125
The PCA Committee will be considering these recommendations at a meeting prior to
the City Council meeting.
COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to execute contracts retaining
Professional Benefit Administrators (PBA) for administration and billing services, retain
preferred provider network administration with CIGNA through PBA, retain ING for stop
loss coverage, renew with Optum Health for transplant coverage, a component of stop
loss coverage, and retain CIGNA for life insurance.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the two (2) Omnibus items as presented.
6. ORDINANCES 7:25 p.m.
1. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support
of Amendments to Chapter 46, Sections 37 and 38, Single Family Residence
Districts, to Permit “Granny Flats”, or Secondary Living Units, on Properties
Zoned for Single Family Use, Under Certain Conditions. (Final Approval.)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of a recommendation from the Plan
Commission to amend the Code to permit “granny flats”, secondary living units, in the R-5
and R-4 residential zoning districts under certain conditions.
At the November 3, 2014 meeting, the City Council discussed the proposed Code
amendment and raised some questions, concerns and offered some suggestions. The
Council granted first reading and directed that modifications be made consistent with
the Council’s discussion prior to final consideration of the Ordinance. An amended
ordinance is included in the Council packet beginning on page 116. Changes made
since first reading reduce the number of unrelated people that may occupy a secondary
living unit from 3 to 2 and provide additional clarification regarding parking.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The term “Granny Flats” refers to the use of accessory
structures or outbuildings as secondary living units, rental units, on single family properties.
These types of units are also referred to as Coach Houses, Garage Apartments and
Cottages. Many of these existing accessory structures and outbuildings were originally
designed as secondary living units for domestic help on large estates.
10
November 17, 2014 City Council Agenda
In 2013, the City held a Community Engagement Forum, Chaired by Alderman David
Moore, to discuss the concept of secondary living units on single family properties. A
summary of the comments heard at the Forum was provided to the City Council and the
Council directed the Plan Commission to study the concept further. The Commission held
a work session to consider the topic and then held a public hearing which spanned the
course of two meetings.
After hearing public comment and after deliberations, the Plan Commission determined
that it would be in the community’s best interest to move forward with this concept, but
cautiously. The concerns heard and discussed by the Commission centered around the
potential for negative impacts on neighboring properties. To address that concern, the
Plan Commission is recommending conditions under which secondary living units would
be permitted. The conditions as recommended by the Commission establish a
framework that minimizes the likelihood of negative impacts on surrounding properties. In
summary, the key conditions:
Limit secondary living units to the R-4 and R-5 zoning districts, the districts with
larger lot sizes and the districts in which existing, historic accessory structures are
most commonly found.
Limit secondary living units to existing structures and outbuildings.
Require the main residence to be owner occupied.
Establish a minimum setback for secondary living units.
The Commission’s interest in this amendment was primarily twofold. First, secondary living
units on single family properties will provide more diversity in the housing types available
in the community. Second, allowing the use of accessory structures and out buildings as
secondary living units could encourage investment in historic structures and in some of
the larger and more unique properties in the community. If secondary living units prove
to be successful and accepted by the community, future Code amendments could be
considered to expand this concept to properties in other zoning districts.
The Plan Commission voted 4 to 0 to recommend approval of a Code amendment to
permit secondary living units under certain conditions.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, grant final
approval of the Ordinance approving a Code amendment to permit secondary living
units in the R-4 and R-5 zoning districts under certain conditions and limitations.

CITY OF LAKE FOREST
MEMORANDUM
To: City Council
From: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director
Date: November 7, 2014
RE: Credit Card Service Fee
On November 5, 2014, the Finance Committee considered a proposal by staff to institute a
credit card service fee on all credit card transactions. This recommendation was made to
address increasing fees currently absorbed by the City for such transactions. Following is a
summary of credit card fees incurred over a 12-month period:
Location # Transactions $ Credit Card Sales $ Fees Fees as % of Sales
Recreation 8,003 $ 2,372,552 $ 61,171 2.58%
Golf Pro Shop 14,530 $ 756,646 $ 21,254 2.81%
Golf Online 184 $ 195,329 $ 5,772 2.96%
Senior Center 1,368 $ 102,595 $ 3,744 3.65%
Finance 1,067 $ 229,710 $ 6,523 2.84%
City Hall 508 $ 20,082 $ 1,082 5.39%
Police 386 $ 24,890 $ 1,165 4.68%
Parking Lot 49,177 $ 151,530 $ 13,465 8.89%
Vehicles Online 5,232 $ 1,178,275 $ 34,170 2.90%
TOTAL $ 148,346
In January 2015, the City will make available online water bill payments, which will result in
additional credit card transaction fees. To date, the City has prohibited payment of building
permit fees via credit card due to the significant fees that would be incurred.
The consensus of the Finance Committee on November 5 was to not apply an across-the-board
fee on credit card transactions, but left open the possibility of addressing this in certain
categories of fees. It is therefore, the staff’s recommendation that the City Council adopt an
ordinance implementing a credit card service fee of 3.00% (or the maximum allowable by law,
whichever is less) on credit card payments for building permits, and a flat $.25 service fee per
transaction for credit card payment of daily parking fees. To mitigate the increase in fees
associated with online payment of water bills, the recommended fee adjustment for water
consumption charges has been adjusted from 2.50% to 3.00% for FY2016.

Approval of FY2016 Golf Fee Recommendations
Presented by: Jeffrey Wait, Superintendent of Special Facilities (847-810-3930)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff
request approval of its recommendations for golf fees for FY ‘16 or the 2015 golf season.
RECOMMENDATIONS REVIEW:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks and Recreation Board 10/21/2014 Recommend Approval of fees
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Attached is the proposed fee structure for Deerpath Golf
Course for FY ‘16. The Park and Recreation Board along with Staff and KemperSports
Management are recommending these increases to offset increased expenses in the
areas of turf maintenance, utilities, supplies, personnel and capital.
Prior to considering fee increases, staff conducts an analysis (Exhibit #1 and #2) of
surrounding golf courses. Staff collects information on memberships and greens, cart
and miscellaneous fees to determine Deerpath’s position within the marketplace.
Deerpath’s main competitor is Lake Bluff Golf Club. When comparing resident
membership fees, Deerpath is the highest priced for Regular, Combo and Limited
memberships. Deerpath is lower priced for the Senior and Junior membership
categories.
Non-resident fees were frozen for FY ‘15 after discussions with the Golf Advisory and the
Park Board. It was expressed that Deerpath’s non-resident rates were too far askew of
the resident rate. Rather than decrease the non-resident rate, freezing the rate until
there was less of a differential between the two was recommended. For FY ‘16, staff has
concluded that that the Combo, Junior, Limited and Limited Plus categories are now
close enough to be lowered to the resident rate without a significant loss in revenue
($1,107). Membership fees were based on resident rate before February 15. See table
below:
FY ‘15 COMBO JUNIOR LIMITED LIMITED PLUS
RESIDENT $2,355 $606 $1,008 $859
NON-RESIDENT $2,629 $653 $1,107 $873
DIFFERENCE $274 $47 $99 $14
NUMBER OF
MEMBERSHIPS
1 3 6 7
TOTAL REVENUE
PER CATEGORY
$274 $141 $594 $98
73
It will take one additional Combo membership or a combination of two of the other
memberships to make up this difference. Unfortunately the non-resident Individual and
Senior memberships are still too far apart to lower to match the resident rate.
Collectively there would be a loss of $12,935, and the membership trend for the last
couple of years has been on the decline. Staff would not anticipate making up the
difference with additional memberships. As a result staff recommends continuing to
freeze these rates for FY ‘16.
The competitive analysis for daily and cart fees place Deerpath at the top end of the
marketplace. It is important to note that these fees are considered the top end or rack
rate. Utilizing the dynamic pricing software, the course is able to price a round up to the
rack rate or as low as the marketplace would bear. Over the last year, the General
Manager has fine-tuned the pricing structure and has increased the daily average rate
by 9% over last year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Parks and Recreation Board with Staff recommend the following:
• MEMBERSHIP FEES: Staff is recommending the following:
o After February 15, 2015 increase all resident fees by 2%.
o No increase to the non-resident Individual or Senior seasonal
memberships. This will allow the resident rate to bridge the gap so that
eventually the non-resident rate could be the same.
o Decrease the Combo, Junior, Limited and Limited Plus seasonal
memberships to match the after February 15, 2015 resident rate.
o Continue to add value to a seasonal membership if it is paid before the
February 15, 2015 deadline by offering a one-time 25% discount card on
any golf shop purchase. This program was well received as a majority of
them utilized the coupon.
• GREENS/CART FEES AND OTHER FEES: Based on the competitive analysis,
Deerpath is the highest or one of the highest courses for the majority of fee
categories. Staff is recommending not increasing greens/cart, range, locker and
other miscellaneous fees.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated the fee change will create a positive revenue differential of $3,934. Staff
will work with KemperSports in preparing a full FY16 budget. Staff and KemperSports will
analyze other revenue categories for growth based on regional and national golf
industry trends, focusing on increasing rounds and continue to fine tune the dynamic
pricing methodology via the point-of-sale system as well as expanding merchandise
sales opportunities. Staff will also scrutinize expenditure more closely to help Deerpath
reach it overall goal of a small Interfund transfer.
74
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve proposed FY ‘16 Deerpath Golf Course fees, as detailed in
attachment effective when sales begin for the 2015 golf season, anticipated in January
2015.

Approval of FY2016 Lakefront Permit Fees
Presented by: Jeffrey Wait, Superintendent of Special Facilities (847-810-3930)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff are
seeking approval of the Lakefront Permit Fees for FY2016. This annual approval is
necessary to prepare annual budgets for Lakefront operations.
RECOMMENDATION REVIEW:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks and Recreation Board 10/21/2014 Recommend Approval of fees
Parks and Recreation Board 9/16/2014 Review and revise proposed fees
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: At its September 16, 2014 meeting, the Park and
Recreation Board directed staff to re-evaluate the non-resident price structure. It was
expressed that the differential between resident and non-resident fees are too far
askew of other community’s fees and it prevents non-residents from storing and
launching in Lake Forest. Staff is presenting two options for consideration.
Option #1-In 1987, when the referendum passed for the construction of the lakefront,
the increase to each Lake Forest household’s tax bill was $910. The non-resident fees
were determined by adding the $910 to the resident rate. Having non-residents share in
the cost of the lakefront was the basis for the original fee development. Throughout the
years, these fees have gotten away from the original structure. By recommending this
option, it would put fees more in-line with the originally developed fees structure. This
option would create a $767 net increase in revenue see Exhibit #1 - Option #1.
Option #2-This option would adopt a non-resident pricing differential comparable to
other communities. Below is a table with the communities within our competitive market
and the difference they charge non-residents in comparison with resident for storage
and launching fees.

Staff recommends rounding the differential on storage fees to 1.5 times the resident rate
while setting the launching fee differential at two times the resident rate. Exhibit #2 -
Option #2 lists out all fees based on this differential. It would create a $303 net increase
to revenue based on the same level of sales as FY '15.
Both options would make Forest Park more affordable to non-residents thereby
increasing revenue through the sale of permits to non-residents. See Exhibit #3 for a
side-by-side comparison.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff recommend the following fee
increases:
Resident rates - Increase all permits 2.5% with the following exceptions:
o No increase to the Nanny and Senior Caregiver Parking Pass ($85) as well
as the Daily Resident Guest and Non-resident Beach Access Fees ($10).
o Senior permit fees will reflect a 25% discount off of the resident permit fees.
o No increase to the Resident and Non-resident Daily Watercraft Launch
Fee of $38 and $60 respectively.
Staff requests keeping non-resident daily pass use restrictions in place to
protect the heaviest used boating times for Lake Forest residents. Non-
resident passes will only be sold Monday through Friday, excluding
weekends and holidays.
o No increase to the resident and senior rack and sand watercraft permits.
Non-resident rates – Option #2, increase all permits 1.5 times the resident rate
with the following exceptions:
o Increase ramp launch fee 2 times the resident rate.
o Reduce the rack storage fees to match the resident rate.
o Set the south beach parking pass to the north beach parking fee of $910.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
This proposed fee structure would result in a $303 net increase over FY2015.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve proposed FY2016 Lakefront fees, as detailed in
attachments, effective February 1, 2015.

Approval of the Lake Forest Fitness Center’s Recommended Fees for FY ‘16
PRESENTED BY: Jeff Wait, Superintendent of Special Facilities (847-810-3930)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff requests
approval of the Fitness Center’s FY ‘16 fees. This annual approval is necessary to
prepare annual budgets for the Fitness Center.
RECOMMENDATION REVIEW:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks and Recreation Board 10/21/2014 Recommend Approval of fees
Parks and Recreation Board 9/16/2014 Review and revise proposed fees
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: At its September 16 meeting, the Parks and Recreation
Board directed staff to revisit the fee structure, particularly the Couple and Family
category fees. The Board felt there was an opportunity to capture additional revenue
especially compared to the Lake Bluff Fitness Center’s fees in these categories. Lake
Bluff fees were 31% and 38% higher, respectively, than Lake Forest.
The Fitness Center has a unique position within the marketplace. The Center is a value-
priced, non-intimidating facility that caters to a wide range of residents, at the same
time attracting non-residents from surrounding communities. The Center provides a
broad range of fitness elements (cardio, strength and personal training) offered by full-
service facilities at a fraction of the cost. The Center invests in its equipment and staff to
meet or exceed the needs of its members.
Although the Board directed staff to take a closer look at the Couple and Family fees,
staff took the opportunity to review and revise the full list of fees to achieve more
consistency and a stronger premise for our pricing approach. Some basic assumptions
were made when revising the fee structure.
• Staff used the Individual resident rate as the basis for all other fees. Two and a
half percent was added to all FY ‘15 Individual resident fees.
• The Couple resident rate was developed by giving the second Individual a 25%
discount off their individual rate. This provides an incentive for couples to join
together rather than individually.
• The Family resident rate was developed by adding 30% more to the couple rate.
Staff felt 30% was appropriate as it didn’t add a significant amount to the FY16
rate compared to FY ‘15.
• The six month membership was derived by dividing the annual membership by
two then adding 40%. This was designed to make the annual membership more
attractive.
• The three month membership was derived by dividing the annual membership
by four then adding 40%, again making the annual membership more attractive.
• Resident Senior Individual and Couple fees were discounted 25% from their
respective resident rate.
78
• Matinee, Student and All-Access fees would increase 2.5%.
• All non-resident fees were determined by adding an additional 25% to their
respective resident rate.
Exhibit #3 shows all fees based on the above assumptions. Additionally it shows the
percentage change, annual revenue increase and monthly revenue increase. Some
fees will increase by as much as 25% while other will decrease by 30%. The additional
revenue generated varies from $133 for a non-resident couple to a reduction of $97 for
a three month, non-resident family membership. The monthly increase or decrease
created would range between -$8.11 (Family non-resident – 6 month membership) to
$11.06 (Couple non-resident membership).
The selection from Exhibit #1 shows Lake Bluff fees for Couple and Family memberships
in comparison to Lake Forest prior to revision. Prior to the change the difference was as
much as 38%. After, the difference has been reduced up to 18%. The difference
between Couple memberships is now 14% (17% decrease) and the difference between
Family membership fees is 29% (9% decrease). See table below for a selection from
Exhibit #1:
Lake Bluff Individual Couple Family Senior Sr Couple
Resident $380 $741 $1,091 $332 $560
Non-resident $456 $889 $1,309 $386 $672
Lake Forest
Resident $362 $565 $791 $272 $423
Non-resident $434 $679 $948 $325 $509

Proposed FY16
Resident $371 $649 $844 $278 $487
Non-resident $464 $812 $1,055 $348 $609
Difference 1.02 1.14 1.29 1.19 1.15
% change -.02 -.17 -.09 -.03 -.18
While developing the reports for these recommendations, staff discovered a problem
with the report they were using. The “Membership Count” report used to fill in the
membership counts was actually providing the total member count. This definitely threw
off projections as it inflated the revenues. The total member count is 1,185 and the total
membership count is 838 (see Exhibit #2).
To determine the annual membership totals for FY ‘16 staff took an average of the last
three years and used that as the benchmark for total. This would account for a
membership growth of 1.2%. Revenue would be expected to increase almost 13% with
the revisions to the fee structure and the growth.
79
RECOMMENDATIONS:
• The Park and Recreation Board along with Staff are recommending the fee
structure as presented in Exhibit #3
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff anticipates a positive revenue differential of $42,238, Exhibit #2, over FY ‘15 due to
increase in membership rates. All fees will become effective May 1, 2015
COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve proposed fee structure for FY16 Fitness Center fess, as detailed in attachments,
effective May 1, 2015.

ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of Documents Relating to Corrective Action at 260 E. Illinois Road,
the Former Site of an Exxon Mobil Gas Station, to Address Environmental Issues.
(Waive First Reading and Grant Final Approval of an Ordinance and Approve
Resolution Authorizing Related Agreements)
City Attorney Victor Filippini reported that the actions before the City Council are consistent with
Council action in support of corrective actions at other current and former gas station locations.
He stated that the City is working in cooperation with the property owner to assure that
environmental issues resulting from the previous use of the property at 260 E. Illinois Road as a
gas station are properly addressed.
Mr. Filippini added that because environmental issues include some migration of contaminants
into the subsurface of the City rights-of-way, a protocol for future excavations is needed in the
event that certain excavation activities occur in the affected rights-of-way in the future. Exxon
Mobil requires the City to adopt a prohibition against the use of groundwater as a potable water
source in the affected areas.
The City Attorney explained that the documents presented are a resolution approving a Highway
Authority Agreement and a Supplemental Agreement; the agreements set forth the respective
obligations of Exxon Mobil for the clean-up of the affected City right-of-way and the protocol in
the event that certain excavation activities are undertaken. The second action is an Ordinance
prohibiting the use of groundwater as a potable water source.
Mayor Schoenheider asked if there was anyone from the public who wanted to comment on this,
and seeing none, asked for a motion.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council,
(i) Approve the Resolution approving the Agreements and authorizing the Mayor and City
Manager to enter into Agreements relating to corrective action related to environmental
conditions at 260 E. Illinois Road, and
Alderman Pandaleon made a motion to approve the Resolution approving the Agreements and
authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into Agreements relating to corrective action
related to environmental conditions at 260 E. Illinois Road, seconded by Alderman Reisenberg.
The following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Waldeck, Beidler, Moore, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg and

following voted “Yea”: Aldermen Waldeck, Beidler, Moore, Pandaleon, Tack, Reisenberg and
Moreno. The following voted “Nay”: None. 7 Yeas, 0 Nays, motion carried.
2. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of
Amendments to Chapter 46, Sections 37 and 38, Single Family Residence
Districts, to Permit “Granny Flats”, or Secondary Living Units, on Properties
Zoned for Single Family Use, Under Certain Conditions. (Approve First Reading.)
Director of Community Development Catherine Czerniak stated that the Plan Commission studied
this concept of “granny flats”; quaint, eccentric small secondary living units located in the R-5 and
R-4 residential zoning districts under certain conditions. Ms. Czerniak added that the community
of existing properties, and benefits from the City’s goal in diversity in housing, encouraging
investment and the enhanced use partnering with historic preservation. There are currently 160
properties that fit this category, but the number decreases to about 20 actual sites with existing
buildings.
In 2013, the City held a Community Engagement Forum, chaired by Alderman David Moore, to
discuss the concept of secondary living units on single family properties. A summary of the
comments heard at the Forum was provided to the City Council and the Council directed the Plan
Commission to study the concept further. The Commission held a work session to consider the
topic and then held a public hearing which spanned the course of two meetings.
After hearing public comment and after deliberations, the Plan Commission determined that it
would be in the community’s best interest to move forward with this concept, but cautiously. The
concerns heard and discussed by the Commission centered around the potential for negative
impacts on neighboring properties. To address that concern, the Plan Commission is
recommending conditions under which secondary living units would be permitted. The conditions
as recommended by the Commission establish a framework that minimizes the likelihood of
negative impacts on surrounding properties. In summary, the key conditions:
Limit secondary living units to the R-4 and R-5 zoning districts, the districts with larger lot
sizes and the districts in which existing, historic accessory structures are most commonly
found.
Limit secondary living units to existing structures and outbuildings.
Require the main residence to be owner occupied.
Establish a minimum setback for secondary living units.
