Properties and Related Loan Documents
1
Tuesday, February 16, 2016 City Council Agenda
STAFF CONTACT: Robert Kiely, City Manager
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of an Amendment to the
Operating Agreement for the Ragdale Properties and associated loan documents.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Ragdale properties are owned by the City and are
operated by the Ragdale Foundation pursuant to a 99-year operating agreement
approved in 2001.
In March 2010, The City Council authorized a loan to the Ragdale Foundation in the
amount of $2 million to assist in the restoration project on the property. The loan was
executed in April 2011. As security for the loan, the Foundation was required to pledge
$2 million from endowment funds and a Community Trust, which are held in restricted
accounts and may be used solely as security for the loan.
In November 2011, the City Council approved a request to waive $100,000 in interest on
the loan. In April 2014, the City Council approved a request to restructure repayment of
the remaining $1.5 million owed to the City. The balance of the loan is currently $900,000
with payments of $300,000 due in May 2016, 2017 and 2018.
In December 2014, representatives of the Ragdale Foundation posed a number of issues
to the City regarding property and liability insurance provisions and how they relate to
the renovation and loan documents. In consultation with the City’s insurance provider, a
number of these issues have been resolved. However, the Ragdale Foundation has
requested an amendment to the operating agreement and loan documents to
designate how insurance proceeds would be allocated in the event the property is
damaged by fire, storm or other casualty and the City and/or Foundation elected not to
restore the property. A copy of the proposed Amendment to Operating Agreement for
the Ragdale Properties and to Loan Documents is attached for the Council’s review on
page 22.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the proposed amendment would not have an
immediate fiscal impact. It would set forth how insurance proceeds would be allocated
in the event the Ragdale property is damaged and restoration of the property is not
elected.
COUNCIL ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed
Amendment to Operating Agreement for the Ragdale Properties and to Loan
Documents.

Finance Committee 1/19/16 Water Rates Discussion
City Council 2/1/16 First Reading Approval
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On December 7, 2015, the City Council approved an
Ordinance establishing a Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2017. It was noted at that time
that water rates would be presented for approval in February 2016.
A comprehensive Fee Schedule is provided as Exhibit A to the Ordinance approving a
Fee Schedule, which clearly identifies the proposed fee increases highlighted in yellow
and the proposed new fees highlighted in orange. Fees highlighted in green are not
reflective of changes in existing fees; rather, they are clarifications due to a review of City
Code and current practices.
Changes in water rates are recommended pursuant to discussion at the January 19,
2016, Finance Committee meeting. For FY2017, the variable (consumption) rates reflect a
2.50% increase to address anticipated operating cost increases of the water utility. A
new fee is incorporated in the City Manager section for changes in owners or officers
associated with liquor licenses. The Ordinance amending the City Code and establishing
this new fee was granted first reading approval on January 19 and is scheduled for final
approval on February 16 consistent with this fee schedule Ordinance.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue for the increased fees is estimated to be $168,362 in the
Water Fund.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant final approval of the proposed ordinance (page 26).

RFP Released 11/23/16 RFP issued jointly with Vernon Hills & Cary
Proposals Received 12/17/15 Nine (9) proposals submitted
Audit Committee 1/21/16 Interviews of three finalist firms
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s incumbent audit firm requested a 24% increase in
audit fees for Fiscal Year 2016 from those proposed in an RFP process three years ago. As
a result, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for audit services jointly with Vernon
Hills and Cary. Although issued jointly, the RFP stipulated that each participating
municipality would independently review proposals submitted and award a contract.
Nine (9) firms submitted proposals for the City’s consideration. Utilizing the evaluation
criteria outlined in the RFP, the Finance Department staff completed a thorough review
of all proposals and selected three finalist firms for interview by the Audit Committee. The
Audit Committee was provided an evaluation matrix that demonstrated the scoring of all
respondents, as well as completed reference questionnaires for all three finalist firms. At
its January 21, 2016 meeting, the Committee conducted interviews of the three finalist
firms and requested follow-up information of one firm. Based on all information received,
the Audit Committee approved a recommendation for City Council consideration to
appoint Baker Tilly as the City’s audit firm.

pursuant to an extension granted by the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative of the
Northwest Municipal Conference.

Tuesday, February 16, 2016 City Council Agenda
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
City Council 9/6/13 Award contract for office supplies to
Warehouse Direct.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In September 2013, the City Council approved a contract
with Warehouse Direct for City office supply purchases. This contract was approved
pursuant to a contract awarded by the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) of the
Northwest Municipal Conference. The SPC extended its contract through December 31,
2015, at which time it converted the contract through December 31, 2016 to one
awarded by a competitive bid process through The Cooperative Purchasing Network
(TCPN). As an active SPC participant, staff is seeking authorization to extend the contract
through December 31, 2016 consistent with the SPC. Please find the SPC announcement
on page 52.
This joint purchasing initiative allows the City to benefit from competitive bid and
discounted pricing without having to designate Warehouse Direct as an exclusive
provider. Should departments find more advantageous savings through another source
for a particular item, they may purchase from other suppliers.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Office supplies are paid directly from department operating
budgets and this action has no immediate financial impact. Office supply costs are
included within individual operating budgets. The estimated total purchases for FY2016 is
$63,000.
COUNCIL ACTION: Staff recommends City Council approval to extend the existing
contract for office supplies with Warehouse Direct through December 31, 2016, with the
option for additional extensions as determined by the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative
of the Northwest Municipal Conference.
8. Consideration of Ordinances Approving Recommendations from the
Building Review Board. (First Reading and if Desired by the City Council,
Final Approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
The following recommendations from the Building Review Board are presented to the City
Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
236 Park Avenue - The Building Review Board recommended approval of the demolition of the
existing residence and approval of a replacement residence, detached garage, and
landscape plan. One neighbor spoke in support of the project and asked that construction
hours be limited and the street kept clean. The Board noted that the City has established
construction hours and that the developer is responsible for cleaning mud from the street
during construction. (Board vote: 7-0, approved)

Tuesday, February 16, 2016 City Council Agenda
172 N. Ridge Road - The Building Review Board recommended approval of the demolition of
the existing residence and approval of a replacement residence, attached garage, and
landscape plan. Two neighboring property owners voiced concerns about construction traffic,
drainage and the size of the proposed home in relation to other homes on the street. The
Board noted that the route for construction traffic and drainage will be subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of a building permit. The Board pointed out
that although the home proposed for demolition is a ranch style home, there are other two-
story homes on the block. It was also noted that this is a neighborhood that will likely
experience further changes in the coming years. (Board vote: 7-0, approved)
Amberley Woods Courtyard Homes - The Building Review Board recommended approval of an
additional new home design to provide another option in this development for buyers who
want a first floor master bedroom. The size of the home and exterior materials are consistent
with the original approvals for the development. (Board vote: 7-0, approved)
The Ordinances approving the petitions as recommended by the Building Review Board, with
key exhibits attached, are included in the Council packet beginning on page 53. The
Ordinances, complete with all exhibits, are available for review in the Community
Development Department.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first
reading and grant final approval of the Ordinances approving the petitions in
accordance with the Building Review Board’s recommendations.
9. Consideration of Extension of Contracts Relating to Completion of the
Clean-up of the City’s Former Municipal Services Site.
Staff Contact: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Approval is requested to authorize the City Manager
to approve extensions to existing contracts with Jacob & Hefner Associates (JHA) and
American Demolition for services related to the clean-up of the former Municipal Services
site located on the northwest corner of Laurel and Western Avenues.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In February, 2015, the City Council directed that cleanup of
the former Municipal Services site get underway. The cleanup work included testing and
investigation, demolition of all of the existing structures and underground foundations,
removal of impacted soils, removal of utilities and preparation and filing of the necessary
reports in order to obtain a letter of No Further Remediation.
As detailed in the background letter submitted by JHA, the contract extensions are
necessary to cover some additional costs incurred as a result of additional work that was
necessary to address some unanticipated conditions on the site. More below grade
foundations and hardscape areas were found than originally expected, remnants of
buildings that were demolished decades ago. Abandoned utilities were also discovered
and were removed. As impacted soils were removed from the site and tested, it was
7
Tuesday, February 16, 2016 City Council Agenda
determined that some additional excavation and soil removal was necessary to achieve
clean test results. The City expects to receive the results of the final soil tests soon.
To cover the additional work required of JHA and American Demolition to complete the
cleanup of the site, contract extensions and approval of additional expenditures is
necessary. Importantly, the additional costs noted below, in combination with the
amounts approved as part of the original contracts, do not exceed the original amount
budgeted for the overall round cleanup of the property, $3,300,000. The existing contract
with JHA totals $215,300. The existing contract with American Demolition totals
$1,482,198.
Documentation supporting the contract extensions is included in the Council packet
beginning on page 87.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the site cleanup is reimbursable through funds
generated by the TIF District.
Authorization to enter into contract extensions for the following amounts is requested.

10. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending the Traffic Code, Title VII of the
City Code, as Recommended by City Staff. (Final Approval)
Staff Contact: Craig Lepkowski, Police Commander (847-810-3807)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests final approval of an amendment to the Traffic
Code as currently set forth in Title VII of the City Code.
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 reviewed
certain provisions of the code to determine whether changes are required to reflect
changes in practices or policies of the City.

Tuesday, February 16, 2016 City Council Agenda
As part of that review, the City Manager, Executive Staff, the City Council Liaison, and the
City Attorney have reviewed the Traffic Code provisions of the City Code set forth in Title
VII of the Code. The proposed amendments to Title VII of the City Code are included in
the Council packet beginning on page 95.
BACKGROUND: At the time the City Council approved the updated City Code in 2015, it was
recognized that various elements of the City’s Traffic Code as then incorporated into the City
Code were not reflective of State law, current practices, or implementation practices of the
Police Department. Based on a thoroughgoing review of the current Traffic Code, the
attached amendments was prepared. The proposed amendments attempt to improve the
overall organization of the City’s Traffic Code, remove provisions where State law enforcement
is customarily utilized or required, update the Traffic Code language to parallel State law, and
align Departmental practices with the terms of the Traffic Code.
The proposed amendments differ in several respects from the amendments presented in
the first reading that was approved on February 1, 2016. First, the proposed amendments
delete Code Section 70.057, governing the operation of a religious school bus, as those
requirements are addressed by state law. Second, Section 72.07, governing solicitation
on the roadway, has been amended to be consistent with state law and constitutional
requirements. Third, the proposed amendments to Chapters 77 and 78 have been
omitted and will be addressed at a later time.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to advance the update of the City’s Traffic Code, it is
recommended that the City Council grant final approval of the attached ordinance.
COUNCIL ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council grant final approval of an
ordinance amending Title VII of the City Code (the City’s Traffic Code).

6.ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending The City of Lake Forest Liquor
Code, Section 111.037, Number of Licenses. (Waive first reading and if
desired by the City Council, grant final approval.)
PRESENTED BY: Robert Kiely Jr., City Manager
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: At the direction of the City’s Liquor Commissioner, an
Ordinance amending the Liquor Code to add one Class C-1 license is presented for
Council consideration.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The City has received new application for an annual
liquor license. The request is for Coffee House Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Starbucks located at,
672 N. Western Ave. Lake Forest, IL 60045.
The request is for a class C-1 license that authorizes the retail sale of alcoholic liquor for
consumption on the premises of a restaurant only and served indoors, with or without a
meal and a Class C-3 licenses, which shall permit the holder of any C-1 or C-2 licensee to
provide alcoholic liquor service outdoors, but only upon such terms and conditions as the
Local Liquor Commissioner may establish for the licensed premises.
As the Council is aware, the issuance of liquor licenses is under the purview of the City’s
Liquor Commissioner and the Mayor serves in that role. However, the City Code only
authorizes a specific number of liquor licenses and historically, this number coincides with
the current number of licenses issued. When new requests for liquor licenses are
submitted, and after review by the Liquor Commissioner and a determination that the
Issuance of a license is appropriate, the City Council is asked to consider an amendment
to the Liquor Code.
The Council’s action does not issue the liquor license, but instead, makes the license
available for issuance upon the final approval of the Liquor Commissioner and any
additional conditions to be met. The ordinance amending the Liquor Code authorizing
an additional license in the class noted above is included in the Council packet
beginning on page 116. The letter of request is available upon request in the Office of The
City Manager.

Tuesday, February 16, 2016 City Council Agenda
COUNCIL ACTION: Waive first reading of an ordinance amending section 111.037 of the

Council, grant final approval.
7. ORDINANCES AFFECTING CODE AMENDMENTS
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Chapters 32, 34, 91, 97, 110, and
112 of the City Code, as Recommended by City Staff. (First Reading)
Staff Contact: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (847-810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of first reading of amendments to
Chapters 32, 34, 91, 97, 110, and 112 of the City Code of the City Code.
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 Title III, IX, and XI of the City Code and propose
amendments to Chapters 32 (Departments and Organizations), 34 (Civil Defense), 91
(Animals and Fowl), 97 (Parks and Playgrounds), 110 (Licenses and Miscellaneous
Businesses), and 112 (Amusements). A working draft of the proposed amendments is
included in the Council packet beginning on page 120.
BACKGROUND: At the time the City Council approved the updated City Code in 2015, it was
recognized that various elements of the City Code were not reflective of State law, current
practices, or implementation practices of the City. Based on a thoroughgoing review of Title III,
IX, and XI of the City Code, the attached working draft of amendments was prepared. The
attached draft attempts to improve the overall organization of the City’s Code as it relates to
its departments and organizations, civil defense, animals and fowl, parks and playgrounds,
licenses and miscellaneous businesses, and amusements. Additionally, the attached draft
attempts to remove provisions where that are outdated and align City practices with the terms
of the City Code.
Although there remains some fine-tuning of the amendments (including final confirmation of
various items with the Finance and Community Development Departments), the attached draft
represents a substantially completed update of Chapters 32, 34, 91, 97, 110, and 112 of the
City’s Code.
RECOMMENDATION: In order to advance the update of the Chapters 32, 34, 91, 97, 110, and
112 of the City Code, it is recommended that the City Council grant first reading of the
attached draft ordinance. An updated version of the ordinance will be presented to the City
Council for final action after the final internal reviews are completed.
COUNCIL ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council grant first reading of an
ordinance amending Chapters 32, 34, 91, 97, 110, and 112 of the City Code.

8. NEW BUSINESS
1. Consideration of a Resolution Stating Support for a Future Amendment to the
Bannockburn-Lake Forest Jurisdictional Boundary Agreement under Certain
Conditions. (Approve by Motion)
PRESENTED BY: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Village of Bannockburn (the “Village”) has
requested that the City of Lake Forest (the “City”) consider an amendment to the existing
Jurisdictional Boundary Agreement that exists between the two communities. Council
consideration of a Resolution that states the terms under which the amendment would
be favorably considered is requested.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In 1987, the City and the Village entered into a
Jurisdictional Boundary Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was extended in
2002 and remains in effect today. The Agreement sets out parameters for the future
annexation and development of the unincorporated property located on the northeast
corner of Illinois Routes 22 and 43. The northern portion of this property is now proposed
for development with a Mariano’s grocery store and a petition for annexation of the
property has been filed by the property owner with the Village.
In order to allow this property to be annexed and developed in the Village, the
Agreement must be amended. The property proposed for development can most
efficiently be provided with services by the Village and geographically, the site is close to
existing commercial in development in the Village. However, the proposed
development will likely generate a need for some mutual aid responses from the City’s
public safety departments and the City may experience a loss of some sales tax revenues
as a result of the proposed development. To account for these impacts and in
consideration of the City’s willingness to amend the Agreement, the Resolution provides
for a Sales Tax Revenue Sharing Agreement which would direct 40% of the municipal
portion of the sales tax revenues generated by the new development, to the City.
The Resolution communicates to the Village of Bannockburn that the City is willing to
amend the Agreement once the full details of the development plan are known and all
necessary approvals are in place. Separate action would be required by the Council to
amend the Agreement.
The Resolution and the Agreement are included in the Council packet beginning on
page 136.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: If the proposed development moves forward and, after formal
action by the City and the Village to amend the Jurisdictional Boundary Agreement and
enter into a Sales Tax Revenue Sharing Agreement, the City would receive a share of the
sales tax revenues generated by the development. Revenue projections are not yet
available but will be provided to the Council at the time of consideration of the
amendment.

Jurisdictional Boundary Agreement for future City Council consideration once the
conditions detailed in the Resolution is met.

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
RESOLUTION NO. __________
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A REVISED
SPECIAL EVENTS POLICY FOR THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
WHEREAS, The City of Lake Forest (“City”) recognizes that special events contribute to the
character of the local economy and enhance a sense of community; and
WHEREAS, every year multiple special events take place within the City which require the use
of public right-of-way or City services, which without proper oversight, can pose a risk to the health,
safety, and welfare of the general public; and
WHEREAS, in 2001, the City adopted Resolution No. 01-07, which established Administrative
Directive 1-17 (“Policy”), a Policy developed to govern the review and approval of special events, as well
as, to recover actual costs of special City services provided to event sponsoring agencies; and
WHEREAS, City staff responsible for the administration of the Policy has spent time analyzing
and reviewing the application, review, and approval processes for special event held in the City; and
WHEREAS, City staff wish to promote greater consistency in how special events are reviewed
and approved for event sponsoring agencies; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council find and determine that it is in the best interests of the
City and its residents to authorize the City Manager to amend the previously adopted Policy to include
additional guidance with regard to special events and assemblies occurring in the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of the City of Lake
Forest, County of Lake, State of Illinois, as follows:
SECTION 1: The foregoing recitals are incorporated into this Resolution as findings of the
Mayor and City Council.

grant approvals as appropriate for the recurring Class A special events listed on Exhibit B attached hereto,
without further review or action of the City Council.
SECTION 3: A copy of the revised Administrative Directive 1-17 (as finally approved by the
