ITEMS
5. ITEMS FOR OMNIBUS VOTE CONSIDERATION
1. Approval of a Schedule of Regular Meetings of the City Council to include
fiscal Year 2016
A copy of the schedule can be found beginning on page 21.
2. Approval of a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an
intergovernmental agreement with the North East Multi-Regional Training
(NEMRT) body, the mobile training unit authorized by the Intergovernmental
Law Enforcement Officer’s In-Service Training Act.
PRESENTED BY: Karl Walldorf, Deputy Chief of Police (847-810-3803)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council to approve a
Resolution that can be found on page 24, allowing the City Manager to enter into an
intergovernmental agreement that will allow the police department full membership in
the NEMRT training organization.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The police department receives in-service training from
several entities in the Chicago area, including Northwestern University’s Center for Public
Safety and the Suburban Law Enforcement Academy at the College of DuPage.
However the primary training organization used by the department is the North East Multi-
Regional Training (NEMRT) unit.
Founded by state statue and intergovernmental agreement in 1983 and headquartered
in North Aurora, NEMRT offers hundreds of classes year round at police departments and
other locations throughout the Chicagoland area. Lake Forest police officers have been
attending NEMRT classes since NEMRT was founded, paying on an a la carte basis.
However, recent changes to NEMRT’s fee structure will allow Lake Forest Police to
become full members much more affordably than in the past.
Full membership in NEMRT permits the department to register for classes at preferential
rates (see examples on page 26), allows for priority registration and provides the
4
May 4, 2015 City Council Agenda Second Session
department representation on the unit’s advisory board which selects classes and
instructors.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: This membership would be paid from the department’s training
and development budget, which is currently used to pay for all police training at NEMRT
or any other provider.

6. ORDINANCES
7. NEW BUSINESS
1. Consideration of a Resolution Endorsing “Concept A” of the 2015 Fort
Sheridan Master Plan prepared by the Lake County Forest Preserve District.
PRESENTED BY: Robert Kiely Jr, City Manager (847-810-3675)
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Since acquiring 253 acres at the northerly end of Fort
Sheridan in the early 1990’s under the Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1988, the
Lake County Forest Preserve District has been working to complete a master plan
controlling the site’s future use, activities, and resource restoration. Initially, the District was
planning to construct a championship caliber golf course on the site, but elected in 2012
not to proceed based on cost considerations and declines in the local area golf market.
In June, 2012 the District held its first open house to solicit concepts and ideas regarding
potential uses for the site from County residents. Over the course of the next two-and-
one-half years, District staff has been formulating various concept plans. The final two
concept plans have been influenced by various competing interests including; extreme
bluff slope, land restriction placed on site by U.S. Army, natural resource restoration,
reforestation, Lake Michigan view sheds, preservation of endangered plant species,
5
May 4, 2015 City Council Agenda Second Session
promotion of bird habitat, accessibility of parking and long-term operating cost
considerations.
The primary difference between the two final concept plans under consideration relates
to parking. Concept “A” relocates the parking to the west and away from the bluff area.
Concept “B” expands the existing parking area adjacent to the lakefront, likely leading
to greater utilization of the beach front property. Underlying the difference is the
question of whether the Fort Sheridan lake shore is for passive or active recreational use
by Lake County residents.
The Parks & Recreation Board heard a presentation on the two concept plans by
Executive Director Ty Kovach at its April 21 meeting. Following a lengthy discussion the
Board approved endorsing Concept “A” by a vote of 5 to 2. The Lake Forest Open Lands
Association also has taken the position to support Concept “A”. A copy of its position
paper, along with the proposed Resolution, is attached beginning on page 29.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Parks & Recreation Board 4/21/2015 The Board voted 5-2 in support of
Concept “A”
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the proposed resolution endorsing concept “A” of the 2015
Fort Sheridan Master Plan.
