PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City is requesting $10,000 from the Market Square
2000 Fund to be set aside to cover costs associated with Market Square, including but not
limited to, plant replacement and labor, irrigation repair, and hardscape maintenance
and repair. The majority of the costs will be for repairs to the brick walkway.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In November 2002, The City of Lake Forest and Market
Square 2000 entered into an agreement which provided for the transfer of the Market
Square Funds to The City for the sole purpose of maintaining and improving the
landscape and streetscape elements of Market Square.
The agreement requires that The City establish a list of individuals interested in the
continued high quality maintenance of the Square. The agreement also requires that
prior to the expenditure of any Market Square funds The City will hold a public hearing
and notify all persons listed on the registry of this hearing, so that they have an
opportunity to review and comment on the expenditures.

FINANCE COMMITTEE
A. Consideration of an Ordinance Establishing the 2015 Tax Levy (Grant Final
Approval)
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests final approval of an Ordinance
establishing the 2015 tax levy.

Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
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 2015 are attached (page 24) 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.
A summary of the proposed levies is as follows:
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed tax levy for 2015 reflects a 2.93% increase over the
2014 tax levy extensions for the City and Library operating funds, City pension, City capital
improvement and debt service funds. The average increase to existing residents
($800,000 home) is projected to be $91 or 2.69%.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant final approval of an Ordinance Establishing the 2015 Tax Levy
(page 28).

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, 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:
• An Ordinance Abating a Portion of the Tax being Levied in 2015 for the Annual
Payment of the Principal and Interest on the Taxable General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2010-B Bond Issue
• An Ordinance Abating a Portion of the Tax being Levied in 2015 for the Annual
Payment of the Principal and Interest on the Taxable General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2010-C Bond Issue
• An Ordinance Abating the Total Tax being Levied in 2015 for the Annual Payment
of the Principal and Interest on the 2011 General Obligation Series 2011-A

Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
PRESENTED BY: DeSha Kalmar, Director of Human Resources (847-810-3530)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The PCA Committee and Staff are recommending
retaining current health plan providers.
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 Voya (formerly 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.
During 2015, the City staff’s Benefit Committee, comprised of City Staff, was asked to
evaluate and recommend strategies to reduce plan costs, following higher claims cost
growth in plan years 2014 and 2015, as well as in anticipation of the “Cadillac Tax”, which
is an excise tax on plans exceeding a cost threshold. The Committee evaluated changes
to our PPO structure, adopting plan changes, and considered implementing a Wellness
Plan. The Committee has recommended several strategies, including making changes to
the Pharmacy Program, offering lower cost virtual doctor visits via the internet or phone
for everyday illness, adding a Wellness Program, and changing our PPO Structure. The
Wellness Program and PPO strategy evaluation will continue into 2016 for possible
implementation in the coming year.
A formal Request for Proposal process was completed in the fall of 2015 for stop loss
coverage. The Transplant Coverage, Pharmacy Services, and Administration Services
were not bid this year in anticipation of making plan changes and possible changes to
the PPO structure in 2016 (or for implementation in 2017). Last year, we renewed with
Serve You Pharmacy services under a one year contract, and we have achieved better
terms for the coming year. The logistics of implementing the Affordable Care Act
expanded eligibility, with associated IRS reporting in February, 2016 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 took effect for our plan (although no part-time employees subject to this rule
accepted coverage in 2015). City staff anticipates a full RFP may be performed in 2016
for all services, including insured health insurance and pharmacy coverage, insured
dental coverage and life coverage.
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 9%
from 2015 terms based on estimated paid claims, which is higher than prior years. This
projection is based on the assumption that poor claim experience, especially large
claims, continues in 2016 (although it should be noted that two recurring large claims in
5
Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
both 2014 and 2015 have left the plan). The Aggregate Loss projection from Voya is
projected to represent an increase of 6% over 2015 terms.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Recommendations based on renewal quotes:
• Retain Serve You Rx Pharmacy Benefit Administration for Prescription Drug Card
services and change the Copay structure to add a higher cost drug copay of $50
from the current $30 retail copay. The current contract was effective January 2015,
and renegotiated this year to include a one-year contract period with the ability to
renegotiate in one year.
o Serve You drug discounts, and administration costs are improving over the
current contract. Estimated savings total $27,516 annually.
o Rebates for brand drugs are increasing, estimated to save $6,376 annually.
Summary Pricing Current Proposed
Retail Brand Discount 15% 17%
Retail Generic Discount 72% 74%
Mail Order Brand Discount 22.5% 24%
Mail Order Generic Discount 76% 78%
Dispensing Fee $1.25 Retail,
$1.25 Specialty
$0 Mail
$1.25 Retail,
$1.25 Specialty
$0.00 Mail
Rebates Retail/Mail per Script $16/$56 $20/$70
o Staff recommends adding a $50 Retail Non-Formulary copay and adopting a
managed formulary program. Higher cost medications with alternative drugs
(at lower copay amounts) will be assessed the higher copay. Anticipated
Savings total $25,422 annually.
• Retain Professional Benefit Administrators (PBA) for administration and billing services
o PBA costs are among the lowest and service levels meet expectations
o PBA administration fees are increasing. Total cost increase is expected to be
$3,596.
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.
Summary Pricing Current Proposed
Annual Fee $1,000 $1,500
Medical Claims Fee per month $15 per EE $16 per EE
Dental Claims Fee (Dental Only) $2.50 per EE $2.50 per EE
PBA UR Liaison Fee $1.50 per EE $1.50 per EE
• Adopt virtual doctor visits for everyday illness through Teledoc and PBA: Staff
recommends adding a $0 copay virtual doctor visit program through Teledoc, the
leading provider of internet and phone based consultations for colds, flu and other
acute illnesses. Teledoc physicians are licensed in each state and Board Certified and
will be able to prescribe medications for basic illnesses or refer patients to appropriate
care, seven days a week on a 24-hour basis.
6
Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
o Costs are paid by a lower cost fixed payment through PBA of $3 per employee
per month.
o Estimated cost is $9,288 annually.
o Cost is billed as part of PBA billing.
o Estimated claim cost savings are $20,000 annually.
• Retain preferred provider network administration with CIGNA through PBA
o Staff recommends continued work to evaluate other PPO approaches in 2017
o Cigna fees are increasing from $15.53 per participant/month to $15.81 per
participant per month, for a total cost increase of $867 annually at existing
enrollment levels.
• Retain Voya (formerly ING) for stop loss coverage based on favorable renewal
negotiations and retain Optum Health for Transplant coverage. The City received bids
from five carriers. Eight carriers either declined or were late in providing bids. Voya
provided the lowest premium and expected paid claims, as well as the lowest pricing
assuming changes to the PPO network (pended to 2016/2017).
o Voya covers paid claims estimated to be slightly lower than projections, based
on recent high claims and expenditures in 2014 and 2015.
o The renewal provides no significant exclusions to normal contract terms, a
favorable result due to two-year large claim history that likely would result in
exclusions up to $75,000 for higher risk claimants each with other carriers.
o The Voya Aggregate Claim Liability projection is lower than total expected
paid claims, since Voya excluded large claims that have left the plan from
claim estimates.
o Coverage is billed through PBA Billing Services.

The renewal results in a decrease in Transplant Premium, resulting in savings of $6,245
annually at our current enrollment.
o Transplant premiums reduce cost for Stop Loss Coverage.
o Optum was selected two year ago after a full RFP, including Stop Loss.
o Optum Transplant coverage costs reduced 10%
o Coverage is billed through PBA Billing Services.

equipment, and resource opportunities. Administratively, each MABAS Division will
sponsor separate specialized response teams within each discipline. Operationally,
however, the teams will train and respond together within each discipline.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: None
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a Resolution transferring assets of the Lake and McHenry
Counties Fire Departments Specialized Response Teams hereinafter referred to as “SRT” to
the ownership and control of MABAS Division 4 and 5, respectfully.
6. Approval of Resolution regarding the ICMA-RC Governmental Money
Purchase Plan & Trust Adoption Agreement
STAFF CONTACT: DeSha Kalmar, Director of Human Resources (847-810-3530)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of the Resolution regarding the
ICMA-RC Governmental Money Purchase Plan & Trust Adoption Agreement
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 2001 the City Council approved adoption of a 401(a) Plan
through ICMA-RC. That plan has always been a Governmental Money Purchase Plan &
Trust. The IRS recently conducted a 6-year review of the updated plan documents and
issued favorable opinion letters. The updated plan documents incorporate amendments
for legislative and regulatory changes enacted since the prior reinstatement in 2006. The
old documents included separate amendments for post-EGTRRA legislative and
regulatory changes and for the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008
(HEART). These provisions are now part of the standard document.
ICMA-RC has previously utilized a negative election adoption process for updated plan
adoption, but per instructions from the IRS, each plan sponsor is now required to execute
a new adoption agreement.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: None
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, grant approval
to the Resolution Page 141 adopting the ICMA-RC Governmental Money Purchase Plan &
Trust Adoption Agreement.

STAFF CONTACT: Chuck Myers, Superintendent of Parks & Forestry (810-3565)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization and
direction to enter into a contract for professional landscape architectural services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Lake Forest regularly contracts with outside
service providers to perform architectural landscape services and manage landscape
project site planning and design for various projects. In an effort to improve efficiency

9. Award of Bid for the Replacement of Eight Refuse Scooters for the Sanitation
Section Included in the FY2017 Capital Equipment Budget
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council award a bid for the
replacement of eight refuse scooters. Two of the eight scooters are 2006 model years;
the other six are 2008’s. All eight units are 4-wheel Jacobsen Trucksters that are used daily
in the City’s refuse, yard waste, and recycling collection programs. Per the Purchasing
Directive 3-5, staff sent bid specifications to multiple dealerships, had the invitation to bid
printed in the local newspapers, and placed all specifications on the City’s website.
Although these bidding requirements were fulfilled in March, 2015, the vendor provided
an updated quotation to purchase these eight refuse scooters with no price increase
from this past spring.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:

Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
Reviewed Date Comments
Public Works Committee November 16, 2015 Reviewed & Approved
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Sanitation Section has in its fleet, twelve refuse
scooters. The units are not only used for daily Sanitation operations, but in addition, they
assist with clean-up efforts after special events and small projects that require frequent
stops (e.g. mosquito larva abatement in catch basins, pre-winter sidewalk tree trimming,
etc.).
All eight of the refuse scooters requested to be replaced have accrued on average over
9,000 hours and have proven to be durable for the severe application they are used for
each day. Over the scooters’ years of use, various parts have been replaced to include
clutches, transmissions, axles, ball joints, control arms, etc. These units have surpassed
their expected life of approximately six years and are currently the only one product that
provides the maneuverability and speed the daily operation requires collecting material
from 3,200 homes.
Jacobsen has recently rolled out its new four-wheel scooter to replace the current model
that the City has used for multiple decades. In November, staff had discussed pricing of
the new scooters for F.Y. ’17 with the local dealer, and inquired if there were any “old
model” scooters remaining. The dealer informed staff that Jacobsen had that day,
decided to produce one final run of approximately thirty scooters in early December. At
staff’s request, the dealer was able to add eight additional scooters to Jacobsen’s final
production. In the ten year capital equipment replacement schedule, staff replaced
four scooters this fiscal year and had planned to replace four more in F.Y. ’17 and four in
F.Y.’18. Because staff learned that the current model would no longer be available and
the new model would require some significant re-design on the part of the City’s Fleet
Maintenance Section (to accommodate the refuse dump body and to be able to tow
the scooter), staff is requesting approval of this purchase now for the line item that is
included in the F.Y. ’17 capital equipment budget.
If the bid is awarded this evening by City Council, staff anticipates receiving the
replacement scooters in late December, 2015. This will allow the City’s Fleet
Maintenance Section the time over the winter months, when not working on snow
equipment, to move the frames, dump bodies, and hydraulics from the current scooter
fleet to the new scooters.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: As previously noted, all required bidding procedures were
adhered to; staff sent bids to dealers in multiple states but since the Jacobsen Turf
Truckster product line is territorial, the City only received one bid. Since the hydraulics
and dump bodies on the current units will be removed and re-installed by City Fleet
personnel on the new scooters, there is no trade-in value provided by the dealer.
Therefore the old scooter chassis will be kept and scrapped for parts. As previously noted
and confirmed by the dealer, there is no price increase from the bid received on March
19, 2015:

Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
If approved by City Council this evening, the purchase would be approved as a non-
budgeted F.Y. ’16 expenditure and if needed, would be included in the year-end
supplemental appropriation ordinance. The five-year CIP identifies $410,000 in the F.Y.
’17 capital equipment budget for these scooters with a purchase price of $151,304 to be
received in F.Y.’16; this would therefore be considered an advance and reduce the
F.Y.’17 capital equipment budget by that amount. The F.Y.’17 capital equipment budget
available would be reduced from $410,000 to $258,696 after this purchase based on the
current five-year forecast.

COUNCIL ACTION: Award of bid for the replacement of eight refuse scooters to Burris
Equipment in the amount of $151,304; this is $8,696 under the budgeted amount of
$160,000. The savings will be used to offset any overages in other F.Y. ’17 capital
equipment purchases. In addition, staff requests City Council approves this purchase as
an advance against the F.Y.’17 CIP allocation, with a F.Y.’16 supplemental appropriation
being submitted at a later date if necessary.
10. Approval of a Concrete Services License Agreement between The City of
Lake Forest and Di Tomasso Excavating, LTD
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council approval of a license
agreement between The City of Lake Forest and Di Tomasso Excavating, LTD. The agreement
stipulates the use of City land at the Compost Center for a concrete / asphalt / brick crushing
operation in exchange for snow removal, excavation services, and various stone materials
provided to the City at no charge. The approximate 120’x75’ piece of land is not being used
nor is needed by the City for any of its Compost Center operations.
The draft agreement, Di Tomasso’s response to the City’s RFP (Request for Proposals), and
an aerial map showing the location of the proposed concrete operation at the Compost
Center, are included in the agenda packet beginning on page 163. The proposed
crushing operation would occur weekdays only no more than twenty times per year.
Staff has seen identical equipment in operation and has confirmed that the noise of the
crushing machine is less than the noise level of the grinding machine used to grind yard
waste at the Compost Center.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Public Works Committee November 16, 2015 Reviewed & Approved
BACKGROUND: This agreement is one of many actions the Department of Public Works has
pursued over the past 5+ years in response to the declining number of personnel available
14
Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
each winter for its snow removal program. In the winter months of 2008/2009, the City had, in
both the Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments, 100 personnel available for snow
removal. In 2013/2014, 78 personnel were available, and for 2015/2016, 70 personnel are
available. This includes all full-time maintenance personnel, seasonal employees, and
Supervisors. Personnel are utilized from all Sections to include Sanitation, Fleet Maintenance,
Building Maintenance, etc. During snow events that require two shifts and/or hauling from the
Central Business District and parking lots, there are not enough personnel available to provide a
timely response to all aspects of the snow program. Finally, with old Municipal Services no
longer available for storing snow, all snow will now be transported to the Compost Center. As it
arrives, it needs to be stacked so space is available for the next snow hauling operation.
As a result, staff has created various programs to offset the reduction in personnel. These
programs include:
• The “Snow Bird” program - contractual drivers operating City plow equipment
• Six full-time personnel working overnight hours on straight time for hauling and initial plow
response
• Contractual hand shoveling for half of the City-owned buildings
• Utilizing the recently purchased snow blower to increase the speed of loading trucks
from the CBD and parking lots
In early fall, Di Tomasso Excavating inquired about the possible use of land at the City’s
Compost Center for its concrete, asphalt, and brick crushing operation. In exchange for its use,
Di Tomasso Excavating proposed to provide various snow hauling and stacking operations
(utilizing its own equipment and personnel), unlimited quantity of finished stone products (CA-6
and 3” stone) at no charge to City, the excavation of any maintenance repairs deeper than 12
feet, and stone roadway maintenance at the Compost Center. Di Tomasso would also accept
at no charge, any used concrete or asphalt removed by the City’s maintenance operations.
Staff spoke with the City Attorney about the proposal and was told that the City Manager
could approve such an agreement, but recommended that the Public Works Committee
and/or City Council be briefed on the topic. In order to openly allow any interested party to
submit a proposal for the use of such land for similar operations, the City Manager directed
staff to follow the procedures outlined in the Purchasing Directive and request proposals. The
RFP process was followed and the City only received one response. Di Tomasso’s proposal was
reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee at their November 16, 2015 meeting.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The Public Works Committee asked staff to estimate the value of
the proposed services included in Di Tomasso’s proposal.
Item Estimated Value
Approximately 770 tons of CA-6 (stone) @ $18/ton $13,860
Snow Hauling: 6 hauls @ 8 hrs./haul @ $110/hr. $5,280
Use of Di Tomasso’s End loader During Winter Months $9,000
Stacking of Snow @ Compost Center: 6 hauls @ 8 hrs./haul @
$110/hr.
$5,280
Excavations > 12’ Deep: 4 per year @ 6 hrs. each @ $110/hr. $2,640
Compost Center Stone Road Maintenance: 3 times per year
@ 4 hrs. each @ $110/hr.

Hauling with Semi Trailer, Two Christmas Trees to Market
Square and West Side Train Station: 6 hrs. @ $110/hr.
$660

Monday, December 7, 2015 City Council Agenda
Estimated Annual Value $38,040
Staff believes this is a “win-win” for The City of Lake Forest. The City will not only be able
to fill the need in its snow program, but it will also save money annually on materials,
deep excavations, road maintenance, and hauling of the two Christmas trees.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a Concrete Services License Agreement between The
City of Lake Forest and Di Tomasso Excavating, LTD.
11. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Property and Public Lands
Committee in Support of Reimbursement for Environmental Investigation
Undertaken at the Laurel and Western Avenues Site. (Approval of a Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine J. Czerniak, Director of Community Development
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Approval is requested to authorize the City Manager
to issue a Phase I payment for environmental investigation work performed at the Laurel
and Western Avenues redevelopment site.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In an effort to coordinate soil remediation activities with
the upcoming development activity, Apex Companies, LLC, an environmental consulting
firm under contract with Focus Development, performed environmental investigation
work on the City’s property from July 4 through August 1 of this year. The work was
monitored by the City’s Owner’s Representative and the results of the work were used to
develop the detailed soil remediation plan.
Since the investigation work was completed to support the remediation of the site, it falls
under the scope of work that the City is responsible for in order to be able to deliver a
clean, development ready site. The Apex invoices received by Focus Development, and
forwarded to the City, for the period in question total $43,243.28. Some minor adjustments
in the form of deductions for line items not directly related to the City Work have been
made. Those items will be redirected to Focus Development for payment. The City’s
Owner’s Representative reviewed the invoices and identified the specific tasks that
directly relate to the City’s responsibilities, which resulted in a total for reimbursement of
$42,070.78.
The Property and Public Lands Committee considered this request and recommended
that reimbursement be issued in the amount of $42,070.78. The Committee reserved its
recommendation regarding other Apex expenses.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the environmental investigation work is reimbursable
through funds generated by the TIF District. In fact, supporting the cleanup of the former
Municipal Services site was one of the primary reasons for establishing a TIF District on the
property. The City will be reimbursed for these costs upon receipt of TIF revenues, or from
TIF bond proceeds.
Below is a summary of Project budget.

6. ORDINANCES
7. ORDINANCES AFFECTING CODE AMENDMENTS
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 118 of the City Code, as
Recommended by City Staff. First Reading
Staff Contact: Craig Lepkowski, Police Commander (847-810-3807)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of an amendment to the City Code
pertaining to Chapter 118 – Vehicles for Hire.
On January 20, 2015, City Council granted final approval of an Ordinance adopting an
updated City Code. As a follow up, City Staff and the City Attorney have begun to
review certain provisions of the code to determine whether changes are required to
reflect changes in practices or policies of the City.
As part of that review, the City Manager, Executive Staff, the City Council Liaison, and the
City Attorney have reviewed the City Code provisions relating to Chapter 118 – Vehicles
for Hire, and a proposed amendment to the City Code relating to the Vehicles for Hire
code is included in the Council packet beginning on page 175.
A black line copy of the proposed Ordinance showing recommended changes along
with a copy of the current Code relating to Vehicles for Hire is also included in the
Council packet.
BACKGROUND: The proposed amendment will eliminate the current licensing and inspection
requirements of public passenger vehicles and drivers, as well as the licensing requirement of
public passenger businesses or corporations not located within the limits of the City of Lake
Forest. While the changes affect a minor revenue source, the amount of committed personnel
time and the inability to equitably license or inspect other types of public passenger vehicles
and drivers (read Lyft, Uber, and limousine services) outweigh any revenue the City currently
collects.

Department. A proposed Ordinance amending certain sections of the Code is attached
for consideration (page 179) with changes shown in black line. Changes are proposed
primarily to clarify or reflect current practices and policies.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: No budget/fiscal impact of the proposed Ordinance.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant first reading approval of the proposed Ordinance Amending
Chapters 31, 38, 39, 40 and 41 of the City Code relating to the Finance Department.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, COUNTY OF LAKE AND STATE OF ILLINOIS,
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR COMMENCING MAY 1, 2015 AND ENDING APRIL 30, 2016,
WHEREAS, because of legal requirements relating to pension funding, the City is required to increase its annual
levy to meet these obligations: and
WHEREAS, because of the lack of a State budget and the uncertainties relating to potential Statewide
legislation affecting revenue and tax issues for all municipalities, the City is unable to plan with any level of
predictability, which creates a bona fide emergency beyond the City's control for purposes of fiscal planning; and
WHEREAS, due to these legal requirements and bona fide emergency, the City is required to increase its annual

million dollars in annual revenue to The City of Lake Forest and the City remains hopeful that the
suspended distributions will be paid retroactively when the State approves a budget.. Staff is
requesting City Council approval of the first reading of an Ordinance establishing the 2015 tax
levy, which shall also serve as an estimate of the amount of revenue to be generated from
property taxes in calendar year 2015.
Ms. Holleb reported that under the Truth in Taxation Act, the City Council is required to determine
the estimated amount of money to be raised by taxation twenty (20) days prior to the adoption of
the annual tax levy. The amount determined is an estimate, and may be increased or decreased
under the statute, provided that any increase does not exceed 105% of the prior year’s tax
extension without the required notice and public hearing. This year, the first reading of the tax
levy ordinance is presented simultaneously as the estimate. The tax levy ordinance will again be
considered by the City Council on December 7, 2015.
The 2015 property tax levy estimate is as follows:
Levy 2014 Extended 2015 Levy Estimate % Increase (Decr.)
Aggregate Levy $ 26,652,390 $ 27,974,079 4.96%
Debt Service Levy 2,021,303 1,539,159 -23.85%
TOTAL LEVY $ 28,673,693 $ 29,513,238 2.93%
The increase in the aggregate levy is comprised of the .80% increase in compliance with the tax
cap applicable to 2015 levies under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) for
operating levies such as the Parks and Recreation, Library and Special Recreation. Anticipating the
43

Regular City Council Meeting
loss of state-shared revenue and/or a property tax freeze imposed by the Illinois General
Assembly, additional amounts are levied for the General Operating Fund amounting to a 2.50%
increase over the prior year plus a small amount for new construction. Also included is an
increase in the Police Pension Fund levy based on an independent actuarial valuation intended to
amortize the fund’s unfunded actuarial liability. Two new line items have been introduced and
impact the overall increase: 1) a capital improvements line item which for this year will be used to
abate debt service and 2) an amount of $125,000 for Recreation and Parks/Specific Purpose. An
increase due to new construction as estimated by the Lake County Assessor’s Office is included as
well.
The City Council had a lengthy discussion about Home Rule and the commitment of the City
Council to not raise property taxes over the tax cap, It was noted that the proposed levy complies
with this commitment by staying within the exception in the Ordinance. Additionally, it is
projected that the City of Lake Forest maintains at the lowest property tax rate on the North
Shore.
The City Council discussed the timeline of when the revenues and expenses will in the General
Fund will no longer balance, which is anticipated to be in 2017.
Lastly the Council had a discussion on the City’s AAA bond rating and the importance of the rating
and the cost savings equal to millions of dollars.
The total levy as estimated above would result in a projected $91 increase in the tax bill of an
average home ($800,000 market value). No public hearing will be required under the Truth in
Taxation Act.
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. A summary of the proposed levies is as follows:
Proposed

NEW BUSINESS
1. The City of Lake Forest’s current permitted hours of operation for the use of gasoline
powered lawn maintenance equipment including, but not limited to, leaf blowers (135.108 in
the City Code)
Jim Lockefeer, Management Intern reviewed the current ordinance and results of a survey sent to
local landscapers on the City’s permitted hours of operation for the use of gasoline powered lawn
maintenance equipment including, leaf blowers. Mr. Lockefeer added that in 2002 a draft of the
City’s Contractor Licensing Ordinance was brought before City Council. In this draft a ban on leaf
blowers was incorporated. After a discussion by City Council, there was a consensus that the
Council could not support the draft ordinance as presented with the leaf blower ban in place.
COUNCIL ACTION No Council action is needed, purpose is for staff direction and discussion only.
After discussion the City Council ask that Staff educate the public on hours of operation as there
are few infractions and the landscape companies know the rules.

Supplemental Memos
Regarding Proposed
Fee Adjustments
50
MEMORANDUM
TO: Diane Hall, Assistant Director of Finance
Elizabeth Holleb, Director of Finance
FROM: Catherine J. Czerniak, Director of Community Development
DATE: October 29, 2015
SUBJECT: Recommended Fee Alignments/Adjustments for Fiscal Year 2017
Attached is the Fee Schedule with the changes, most of which are clarifications,
corrections and requests for alignment with current fees; as recommended by the
Community Development Department. Due to modifications to the Code and the effort
to reflect all fees on the Fee Sheet, in a single location, several fees that are currently
assessed are listed below for inclusion on the comprehensive Fee Schedule. In addition,
many sections of the Code are in the process of being revised so the Code references for
the various fees are in flux right now.
No overall increases are proposed in any fee category. Over the last several years; the
City has held development fees steady to support construction activity at all levels. In
general, current fees appear to be adequately covering the cost of the various
development related services.
The proposed changes do not generate a significant amount of additional revenue,
however they will provide for consistency and clarification, and will cover any existing
gaps by more fully covering the cost of providing services.
Current Fees Not Reflected, or not Reflected Accurately, on the Fee Schedule
Home Inspection Waiver Fee - $25
The City process provides for a waiver of a Home Inspection prior to the sale of a
property if a Certificate of Compliance, indicating a successful home inspection,
was issued within the prior three years. A minimal fee is charged to cover the
related paperwork and research needed to verify prior compliance.
Plan Review Fees for Remodeling – Charged on a graduated basis due to
complexity of the project as follows:
Remodeling: up to $12,000 = $ 55
Remodeling: $ 12,001 to $48,000 = $ 82
Remodeling: $ 48,001 to $120,000 = $138
Remodeling: $120,001 and over = $230
Currently, the Fee Schedule reflects a single fee of $55 for all classifications of
remodeling.
Page 1 of 3 October 29, 2015
51
Street Opening - $50
This is a current fee. Street Opening is listed on the Fee Schedule, but no fee is
shown.
Tree/Vegetation Removal Permits – Various - $40
The current fee of $40 should be reflected on the Fee Schedule.
Permit Renewal Bonds – projects under $200,000 – 15% of permit fee
The bond is fully refundable if project are completed within one year from the
issuance of the building permit. The Fee Schedule should be aligned with the
current percentage that is used to determine the amount of the bond.
Fire Alarm Permit Fee – Commercial/Multi-Family - $500 or .05 per s.f.,
whichever is greater
The Fee Schedule reflects a single fee for new Fire Alarm system permits for both
residential and commercial/multi-family buildings. The current fee charged for
commercial/multi-family buildings is higher as noted above due to the complexity
of the systems and additional review time involved.
Fee Increases
Publication of Legal Ad - $65
Some types of zoning petitions require the publication of a legal ad in the local
newspaper. To cover the rising cost of publication, staff is recommending a fee
increase of $15.
Hot Work – Per System - $100
Currently, a fee of $25 is charged per hot work “activity”. Hot work includes
welding or other work involving the use of an open flame. The definition of
“activity” unnecessarily complicates the fee calculation. Charging per “system”
is reasonable, fair and more efficient.
New Fee
New Material/Product Evaluation - $350
City staff and the Construction Codes Commission are
asked, from time to time, to research and evaluate new materials and products.
Staff responds by conducting due diligence which may include, but is not limited
to, contacting various manufacturers, getting input from the International
Construction Codes Council, talking with staff from other communities and
checking with local architects and builders. Staff prepares background material
and a report and recommendation to the Construction Codes Commission.
Special Use Permit – New Development/New Use - $900
Currently, the Fee Schedule includes a fee for amendments to existing Special
Use Permits ($655), but does not specify a fee for new developments or uses that
require a Special Use Permit. For new uses and developments, additional
Page 2 of 3 October 29, 2015
52
background work is required to understand and fully evaluate the proposed use
based on the context of the surrounding area.
***
I hope this information is helpful in understanding the clarifications, alignments and
changes proposed by the Community Development Department. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you need further clarifications, have any questions or have suggestions for
changes. Thank you for your support and patience!

Approval of FY2017 Golf Fee Changes
Presented by: Rick Walrath, General Manager, 810-3889
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: KemperSports Management Staff and Staff requests
approving the FY2017 Golf Fee Changes
RECOMMENDATIONS REVIEW:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks and Recreation Board 10/20/2015 Recommend Approval of Fees
Golf Advisory Committee 10/14/2015 Recommend Approval of Fees
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Attached is the proposed fee structure for Deerpath Golf
Course for FY17. The Park & Recreation Board along with Staff and KemperSports
Management are recommending these changes to help offset increased expenses in
the areas of personnel, turf maintenance, utilities supplies and capital.
Prior to considering fee changes, KemperSports Management conducted an analysis of
surrounding courses to determine Deerpath’s position in the marketplace (see
attached). In that study it was shown that Deerpath is highest priced in the most
popular categories of Single and Combo as well as 10 of the 20 daily fee categories
surveyed. Raising the membership rates and increasing the rack rate on green fees will
not significantly affect the revenue in FY17. A change of structure in memberships
offered and green fee strategies will allow for a larger positive revenue impact. The
effective date of the new fees will be January 1st, 2016. There will be no early-bird
discount this year, as the majority of the fees have not increased and a discount would
net to a reduction of fee year over year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Park & Recreation Board with KemperSports Management and Staff are
recommending the following;
• MEMBERSHIP FEES: Reduce the number of Membership types to three; Single,
Combo and Junior. Nonresident and Nonresident Seniors will pay a premium
over Resident pricing.

• GREEN FEES: Eliminate most all fees and allow the dynamic pricing model to set
prices based off of the proposed daily rate rack fees. This will allow the green
fee prices to fluctuate and take advantage of times of increased demand.
Golf rates will be adjusted – lower and higher and in real-time, based on
demand and availability.

Approval of the Lakefront Permit Recommended Fees for FY17
PRESENTED BY: Joe Mobile, Superintendent of Recreation (847-810-3941)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff requests
approval of the Lakefront Permit FY17 fees. This annual approval is necessary to prepare
annual budgets for Lakefront operations.
RECOMMENDATION REVIEW:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks and Recreation Board 10/20/2015 Recommend Approval of fees
Parks and Recreation Board 10/6/2015 Review and revise proposed fees
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Attached is the proposed fee structure for lakefront permit
fees for FY2017. Staff is recommending an increase of 4% over the FY16 fees to the
majority of permit fees to offset increased utilities, supplies and personnel expenses for
the annual operations of Forest Park Beach. Staff is taking a conservative approach for
revenue growth by assuming that participation levels will remain constant with FY16
usage.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff are recommending
the following changes to the current fee structure:
A 4% increase in resident and non-resident permit fee categories with the
following exceptions that will remain constant with FY16 fees.
o The Nanny and Caregiver Parking Pass ($85)
o The Resident Guest Daily Parking ($10)
o The Non-resident Beach Access Fees ($10).
o The Non-resident South Beach Parking Permit ($910)
Senior permit fees will reflect a 20% discount off of the resident permit fees in
FY17. The FY16 rates reflected a 25% discounted rate off of the resident fees. This
change in fee aligns our lakefront senior fees with other department senior
discounts given.
The Non-Resident Daily Boat Launch fee will increase $5.00 rather than 4% for
FY17. The $5 increase will assist staff in easier cash handling responsibilities which
should expedite getting the boats launched and provide for easier transactions
for staff on duty. Non-resident passes will only be sold Monday through Friday,
excluding weekends and holidays as was the case in FY16.
57
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates a positive revenue differential of $5,973.00
over FY16 with the proposed 4% increase in fees. All fees will become effective
February 1, 2016.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve proposed FY2017 Lakefront fees, as detailed in
attachments, effective February 1, 2016.

Approval of the Lake Forest Fitness Center’s Recommended Fees for FY17
PRESENTED BY: Joe Mobile, Superintendent of Recreation (847-810-3941)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff requests
approval of the Fitness Center’s FY17 fees. This annual approval is necessary to prepare
annual budgets for the Fitness Center.
RECOMMENDATION REVIEW:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks and Recreation Board 10/20/2015 Recommend Approval of fees
Parks and Recreation Board 10/6/2015 Review and revise proposed fees
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Attached is the proposed fee structure for fitness center
membership types for FY2017. Staff is recommending an adjusted 4% increase to the
majority of our membership fees in order to offset increased utilities, supplies and
personnel expenses as well as to stay competitive in the local fitness market. The Fitness
Center’s memberships fluctuate considerably throughout the year. With varying
anniversary dates, extensions due to medical reason or “holds” for snow birds, it can
create difficulty in determining annual membership totals. As a result, staff takes a
conservative approach for revenue growth by assuming membership levels will remain
the same throughout the year based on membership totals in September.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Parks and Recreation Board along with Staff are recommending
the following changes to the current fee structure for FY17:
• Increase all resident and non-resident membership fees by an adjusted 4%. The
4% increase was taken over FY16 fees and then adjusted to be divisible by 12
months so that our new software system can use the automatic monthly billing
for all annual memberships. This adjustment to the increase will provide a
consistent amount to be drawn each month providing our members a smooth
and understandable transaction.
• Staff has adjusted the non-resident fee from the current 25% increase over the
resident fee to the 20% increase over the resident fee as stated in Department
policy for program fees. The previous fees were incorrectly stated at a 25%
increase.
• Staff has eliminated the 6 month and 3 month membership offering and
replaced them with a more user friendly monthly membership option.
Perspective members can still purchase memberships of the 6 and 3 month
variety by packaging the monthly fee option. This option will allow perspective
members the opportunity to try our facility without a long-term commitment.
Staff will continue to offer a 3 month membership option as summer promotion to
students.
63
• The All-Access member option fee has been frozen for the past three years since
the inception of this program to allow for growth in this membership option. This
year staff is recommending raising this fee at the adjusted 4% increase as in line
with the other fees.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Staff anticipates a positive revenue differential of $9,459.00
over FY16 due to increase in membership rates. All fees will become effective May 1,
2016.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve proposed fee structure for FY16 Fitness Center fess, as detailed in attachments,
effective May 1, 2016.

MEMORANDUM
To: Finance Director, Elizabeth Holleb
From: Fire Chief, Jeff Howell
Date: October 30, 2015
Subject: Ambulance Mileage update
Per the attached City of Lake Forest Ordinance No. 2011-11, adopted May 2nd of 2011, the fee
schedule pertaining to ambulance transports is reviewed from time-to-time and necessary
adjustments to fees and charges may be made.
It has been the common practice of The City’s ambulance billing company, Andres Medical
Billing, to provide updated information on the fees and charges assessed by surrounding
municipalities and also provide notification of updated mileage rates as approved by Medicare.
Since 2011, based on those notifications, our transport fees have remained intact, while the
mileage rate has increased per the yearly updated Medicare allowance.
Most recently, in June of 2015, such notification was provided by Andres by way of the next two
attachments of this memo. The first item provided was the attached survey conducted among
224 surrounding municipalities, updated on February 6, 2015. The second item provided was the
2015 Illinois Medicare Ambulance Fee Schedule. This is a schedule that is updated by Medicare
every first of the year. Upon review, our transport fees were still aligned and therefore remained
unchanged. However, the Medicare allowed mileage rate shown in the report had increased.
Therefore, as of June 2015, Andres began billing at the new mileage rate of $7.27 per mile.
The attached ‘Exhibit A – FY2017 all user fees Fire’ spreadsheet has been updated in the
FY2016 column to reflect the updated Ambulance-Mileage fee. We will not know what the new
Medicare allowed mileage fee will be until after January 1, 2016. Therefore, we did not enter a
proposed FY2017 change in the spreadsheet. Rather, we will continue to update the ‘Exhibit A’
spreadsheet each October with the current rates as allowed per Ordinance No. 2011-11.
Respectfully submitted.
