B. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Section 32.083 of the City Code,
Housing Trust Fund Board. (Waive first reading and grant final approval)
PRESENTED BY: Mayor Rob Lansing
Staff Contact: Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of an amendment to the City Code adjusting the
membership of the Housing Trust Fund Board from seven members to three members.
BACKGROUND: The Housing Trust Fund Board (“HTFB”), established in 2011, is an advisory body to
the City Council on matters relating to diversity in housing in the community. Unlike other City
boards and commissions, the HTFB does not focus on individual petitions but instead, focuses
primarily on policy, programs and on making recommendations to the City Council on expenditures
of funds from the City’s Housing Trust Fund.
In the past, the seven member HTFB included representatives from local institutions such as
the College, the hospital and the Senior Resources Commission and at times, the diversity of
interests of the group limited its effectiveness and responsiveness. As a result, in recent years,
the Board has been inactive. Given the upcoming significant contribution that will be made
to the Housing Trust Fund by the developer of the Laurel and Western Avenues site, Mayor
Lansing determined that re-activating the HTFB is appropriate and that by reducing the
membership, the Board will be positioned to respond efficiently and effectively to
opportunities that arise. When appropriate, the HTFB will bring in representatives from various
community institutions to explore partnership opportunities.

included in the Council packet on page 10. The proposed Code amendments are

6.Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support of a Plat
of Condominium for a Duplex at 1439 and 1441 N. McKinley Road. (Approval by
Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of a recommendation from the Plan Commission
in support of final approval of a plat of condominium to allow each unit in an existing duplex
building to be held in separate ownership and to identify common areas.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In May, 2015, based on a recommendation from the Building Review Board, the City Council
approved development of a vacant lot at 1439/1441 McKinley Road with a duplex and
detached garage. Construction on the site is nearing completion.
The City Code requires that any development that creates parcels or units that will be held in
separate ownerships must be approved through a public process and documented with a
recorded plat. The plat of condominium as recommended by the Plan Commission
delineates each unit and identifies common areas including the front and rear yards; and the
garage. A Declaration of Covenants and Bylaws for the condominium units will be recorded
with the property, as required by State Statute, and will be subject to review and final
approval by the City Attorney.
No improvements or alterations to the property are proposed or authorized in conjunction with
the approval of the plat of condominium.
The Plan Commission held a public hearing on May 11, 2017, to consider this petition. A
neighboring property owner inquired about fencing and plantings on the property. The Plan
Commission clarified that work at the site will be completed consistent with the previously
approved plans. The Plan Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend approval of the plat of
condominium to the City Council. The Plan Commission’s report and a copy of the plat are
included in the Council packet beginning on page 49.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approve a motion granting final approval of the plat of condominium for
1439 and 1441 N. McKinley Road.
7.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.
20 N. Western Avenue - The Building Review Board recommended approval of revisions to
previously approved plans. The Building Review Board first considered this project in February, 2016,
as a second floor addition and repairs to the existing house. Shortly after work started at the site,
6
Monday, June 5, 2017 City Council Agenda
structural issues were found that required more extensive work and demolition than originally
planned or approved. The recommendation now presented for Council consideration approves
the demolition of a structurally unsound rear portion of the house and the reconstruction of the
west elevation in the area where the demolition will occur. The Board directed the staff to assure
that the structural aspects of the existing home are reviewed and approved by a licensed
engineer. A neighboring property owner raised concerns about the unkempt condition of the site
and the structural integrity of the existing house. He asked that the site be developed and
maintained in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding homes. The Preservation
Foundation stated support for the project and agreed that work at the site should proceed in a
manner compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Board directed staff to work with the
petitioner to get the site cleaned up and to establish a reasonable time frame for completion of
the project in an effort to bring this ongoing project to a close. (Board vote: 6-0, approved)
145 S. Green Bay Road - The Building Review Board recommended approval of alterations and an
addition to the north wing of the Lake Forest Country Day School, the Performing Arts Center. This is
the second phase of a larger project which was previously approved by the Board and City
Council. The first phase of the project involves an entrance addition and upgrades to the south
wing, the Athletic Center. The Lake Forest Preservation Foundation presented testimony in support
of the project. There was no other public comment presented to the Board. (Board vote: 6-0,
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 in accordance with the Building Review Board’s
recommendations.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the Seven (7) Omnibus items as presented
6. ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Authorizing the Elawa Farm Centennial Celebration.
(First Reading, and if desired by the City Council, Final Approval)
PRESENTED BY: Mike Strong, Assistant to the City Manager (810-3680)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of an Ordinance authorizing the Elawa
Farm Centennial Celebration on Saturday, September 9, 20174.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On May 15, 2017, the Elawa Farm Foundation (“Foundation”)
made a request to the City Council to authorize an exception from the Special Use Permit
(“SUP”) that would permit them to host up to 300 patrons for a Centennial Celebration that is
planned to take place on Saturday, September 9, 2017, from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Due to the unique nature of the planned event, the City Council indicated that it was
generally in favor of granting an exception for the event. In addition to the feedback
7
Monday, June 5, 2017 City Council Agenda
provided by the City Council, the Middlefork Homeowners Association (“Association”) has
submitted correspondence to the City concerning this event, a copy of which is attached on
page 73. The Association has requested that all other conditions within the SUP be strictly
enforced, including the provisions to disallow street parking, and ensure noise level
adherence for any amplified music during the event.
Based on this collective feedback, City staff is recommending approval of an Ordinance
subject to certain terms and conditions as outlined in the attachment, including:
• All other conditions with the SUP be met and satisfied;
• All applicable permits be applied for and provided for the event;
• No music amplification be allowed for the duration of the event;
• A logistics plan is submitted that provides information and details concerning the
various event activities that will occur (i.e. site plan, schedule of events, contact
information, identification of temporary facilities, plans for inclement weather, security,
etc.); and
• The City is copied on all notification that is distributed to the tenants and adjacent
property owners.
The proposed Ordinance is included in the agenda packet beginning on page 74, which
formally authorizes an exception from the SUP for the duration of the event.
Since the development of the Ordinance, the City has received subsequent correspondence
from the Foundation, attached on page 80, indicating an interest in having amplified music
for the event due to a recent wedding cancellation. Should the City Council be in favor of
granting this request, a modification to the Ordinance is recommended.

bonds in Fiscal Year 2018 of $9.3 million in net proceeds. It was originally projected that the Bond issue
would be $9.45 million and that to save costs the City would only issue one bond and hold the proceeds
over a two year period. This will allow for interest only payment for two years and minimal impact on water
rates to residents.
Ms. Holleb reported that on May 11, Moody’s issued an opinion of a Aaa rating for the City, and affirmed
the Aaa rating on the current City debt. Ms. Holleb reported on the Bonds Sale results of a Competitive

ORDINANCES
NEW BUSINESS
1. Request for City Council Approval of an Agreement for Professional Design Services for the
Telegraph Metra Station Train Bridge Project
Bob Ells, Superintendent of Engineering, reported that the number one goal of the project is public safety.
Mr. Ells stated that staff is requesting City Council approval to enter into an agreement with Hanson
Professional Services Inc. to perform professional design services for the Telegraph Metra Station Train
Bridge Project.
Mr. Ells reported that in March, 2012, the City awarded a contract to HDR, Inc. to perform Phase I
preliminary design services for the Telegraph Metra Station Pedestrian Underpass Project. The cost of this
contract was $208,485.93 and was paid for by The City of Lake Forest. HDR prepared eight design concepts
for City review. The basis of design for all of the alternatives was the overwhelming input from Metra and
its tenant railroads that there be no interruption to train schedules during the entire construction of an
underpass. This meant that a pedestrian tunnel would need to be installed using a “jack & bore” method
under the live railroad tracks. City Council ultimately chose option 2b which became known as the “Bowl
Design”. Upon completion and approval of the preliminary design phase in June, 2013, the estimated
project cost was $5,000,000.00.
The City then entered into a Phase II final design contract with HDR in the fall of 2013. The design fee for
Phase II was $549,673.00 to be paid at an 80/20 split with the Federal grant paying the 80% and the State
paying the 20%.
Once detailed design work and geotechnical studies were underway, it was determined that the anticipated
structural concept of using sheeting and piles to reinforce the retaining wall systems along the track would
not be adequate due to soil conditions. The basis of the structural design was changed to a drilled shaft
concept which increased the estimated cost of the project significantly.
At the conclusion of the Phase II final design, the project construction estimate was $10,807,627.00 with an
estimated construction engineering cost of $1,200,000.00 bringing the anticipated total cost to just over $12
million dollars. After discussions with Metra on strategies to move forward with the project, the City hired a
third-party consultant to verify the HDR cost data. Using the HDR design data, the consultant priced the
cost of constructing the “bowl design” at $13,438,403.

Proceedings of the Monday, May 15, 2017
Regular City Council Meeting-
With the estimated costs associated with constructing a pedestrian underpass using the traditional
construction method of boring and jacking the tunnel under the tracks now verified, the City once again met
with Metra officials. The discussion centered around changing the method of construction from installing
an underground tunnel to constructing a train bridge that would require limited, scheduled track outages
but anticipated to reduce the construction costs by approximately $2,500,000. Metra has agreed in principal
to support this construction method.
Once the design is completed and an engineer’s estimate of cost can be created, it will be sent to IDOT for
approval. The City will pay Hanson directly for the design services and be reimbursed at 100% from the State
funds previously secured.
The City Council had discussion on the IDOT approval process, the phases of the project, where the money
to pay for the project will come from and the assurance from Metra on the project.
City Manager Kiely reported that these are Federal Dollars administered by the State of Illinois and that the
City has and will continue to apply for grant funding to pay for this project.
Mayor Lansing asked if there was anyone from the public who would like to comment. Seeing none, he
asked for a motion.
COUNCIL ACTION: Acknowledge the exception noted in Section 9.0K of the City’s Purchasing Directive
authorizing a waiver of bidding for professional Services based on existing relationship and approve an
agreement with Hanson Professional Services for Professional Design Services for the Telegraph Metra
Station Train Bridge Project in the amount of $281,421.
Alderman Beidler made a motion to approve an agreement with Hanson Professional Services for
Professional Design Services for the Telegraph Metra Station Train Bridge Project in the amount of $281,421
and pursuant the exception noted in Section 9.0K of the City’s Purchasing Directive authorizing a waiver of
bidding for professional Services based on existing relationship, seconded by Alderman Reisenberg. The
following voted “Aye”: Aldermen Beidler, Morris, Newman, Rummel, Tack, Reisenberg, Moreno and
Buschmann. The following voted “Nay”: None. 8- Ayes, 0 Nays, motion carried.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION
The Council asked for the Real Estate Transfer Tax appeal time frame and a discussion to amend utility
billing be given consideration. Staff reported that a comprehensive amendment to a portion of the City
Code will be coming to the Council for consideration.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business. Alderman Rummel made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Alderman
Newman. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote at 9:17p.m.

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST
ORDINANCE NO. 2017-___
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING
THE ELAWA FARM CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
WHEREAS, The City of Lake Forest (the “City”) is a home rule, special charter
municipal corporation; and
WHEREAS, the City is the owner of a certain tract of land commonly referred to
as “Elawa Farm”; and
WHEREAS, Elawa Farm is located in the City’s R-5 Zoning District, which is
primarily for use as detached single-family residences; and
WHEREAS, because Elawa Farm represented an historically significant example
of a 20th Century “Gentleman’s Farm,” the City desired to use Elawa Farm for classes,
tours, programs, and special events for public use that preserved historic elements of
Elawa Farm (the “Elawa Uses”); and
WHEREAS, the City sought and obtained a special use permit in 2010 for the
operation of the Elawa Uses at Elawa Farm (the “SUP Ordinance”); and
WHEREAS, in 2014 the City entered into an Operating Agreement with the Elawa
Foundation, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation (the “Foundation”), and under the
Operating Agreement the Foundation manages the day-to-day operations and activities
of Elawa Farm subject to the SUP Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of Elawa Farm, the Foundation
desires to hold a special event at Elawa Farm as permitted by the SUP Ordinance (the
“Centennial Celebration”); and
WHEREAS, the Foundation has determined that it is desirable to host up to 300
persons at Elawa Farm as part of the Centennial Celebration; and
74
{00015961 3} 2
WHEREAS, the SUP Ordinance limits the use of Elawa Farm to its stated capacity
of 200 persons; and
WHEREAS, because of the unique nature of the Centennial Celebration, the City
Council has determined that it is beneficial and desirable for the community to permit the
Foundation to conduct the Centennial Celebration as a special event at Elawa Farm with
up to 300 guests, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, in approving this Ordinance, the City Council is exercising its home
rule powers and has determined that the exception to the SUP Ordinance will benefit
Elawa Farm and promote the spirit of the Lake Forest community in a manner that will
promote the best interests of the City and its residents;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, COUNTY OF LAKE, STATE OF ILLINOIS, AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION ONE: Recitals. The foregoing recitals are hereby adopted by this
reference as the findings of the City Council and are hereby incorporated into this Section
as if fully set forth.
SECTION TWO: Exception to SUP Ordinance; Conditions.
Notwithstanding Section 2, Part 15 of the SUP Ordinance, the Foundation shall be
permitted to conduct the Centennial Celebration on September 9, 2017 with a maximum
of 300 guests, subject to the following terms and conditions:
a. Applicability of SUP Ordinance Conditions. Except for the capacity
limitation provided in Section 2, Part 15 of the SUP Ordinance, all conditions, terms, and
provisions of the SUP Ordinance shall fully apply to the Centennial Celebration.
b. No Amplified Music or Sound. The Foundation has represented that the
Centennial Celebration will not include amplified music or sound, and therefore the
75
{00015961 3} 3
Centennial Celebration will not be subject to the numeric limitation on events with amplified
music or sound as provided for in Section 2, Part 10 of the SUP Ordinance.
c. Applicability of City Ordinances and Regulations. The Foundation shall
abide by all City ordinances, regulations, and administrative policies with respect to the
Centennial Celebration, including without limitation the securing of a special event permit
and special event liquor license from the City, and abiding by all the terms and conditions
that the City Manager may establish in connection with such special event permit or that
the Mayor may establish in connection with the liquor license.
d. Logistics Plan. On or before July 1, 2017, the Foundation shall be required
to deliver to the City Manager for the Manager’s review and approval a “Logistics Plan”
for the Centennial Celebration, and the Foundation must have an approved Logistics Plan
by August 9, 2017 (or such later date as the City Manager may approve in the Manager’s
discretion) in order to proceed with the Centennial Celebration. The Logistics Plan shall
address such details and contingencies as the City Manager may determine are
necessary or desirable for protecting the guests at the Centennial Celebration and the
general public, including without limitation the following:
1. Site Plan. The Logistics Plan shall include a detailed site plan relating
to the Centennial Celebration, identifying the location and orientation of
all temporary and other facilities, including without limitation the tents,
restrooms, food preparation area(s), liquor service station(s), guest
parking and pick-up/drop-off areas, service vehicle standing and
parking areas, emergency access areas and routes, staging areas,
designated smoking area(s) (if any), areas of prohibited access
(including such areas affecting the Wildlife Discovery Center and its
exhibits), and circulation patterns for guests and service providers
during the Centennial Celebration.
2. Schedule. The Logistics Plan shall include a detailed schedule setting
forth the timing and coordination of various activities relating to the set-
up, conduct, and take-down for the Centennial Celebration. The
schedule shall include dates for obtaining of all permits and approvals,
deliveries, set-up activities, inspections relating to all temporary
facilities, take-down activities, and such other matters that the City
Manager may require. The schedule shall also set forth schedules for
other activities to be conducted on Elawa Farm, including activities of
76
{00015961 3} 4
the Wildlife Discovery Center, the Lake County Forest Preserve District,
the Northwestern/Lake Forest Hospital 5-K run, and other matters that
may be occurring at Elawa Farm during the period from
commencement of set-up through completion of take-down for the
Centennial Celebration.
3. Specifications for Temporary Facilities. The Logistics Plan shall
provide to the City specifications for any temporary tent structures,
existing and temporary electrical and lighting facilities, temporary
restroom facilities (including capacity therefor), and food preparation
facilities and related utility needs therefor. If any of such information is
not available at the time the Foundation submits the Logistics Plan, the
Logistics Plan shall set forth the date by which such information will be
provided.
4. Parking and Transportation. Because Elawa Farm lacks sufficient
parking for the Centennial Celebration, the Logistics Plan shall identify
all plans for off-site parking and for transporting guests and service
providers to Elawa Farm, as well as the schedule for such
transportation services for the Centennial Celebration.
5. Security; Event Liaison. The Foundation shall provide its own on-site
security for the Centennial Celebration. As part of the Logistics Plan,
the Foundation shall provide the City with the name of the security
services, details for providing such security (including any required
traffic control), contact information for the head of the security detail,
and contact information for the Foundation’s Centennial Celebration
event liaison.
6. Plans for Inclement Weather; Emergency Access/Evacuation Plans.
The Logistics Plan shall set forth the Foundation’s plans for the
Centennial Celebration in the event of inclement weather or other
emergency conditions, including plans for evacuating the Elawa Farm
property in the event of an emergency. The Logistics Plan shall set
forth plans for access for emergency vehicles and personnel in the
event of an emergency event during the Centennial Celebration.
7. Coordination with and Notice to Neighborhood. Because Elawa Farm
is located within a residential neighborhood, the Foundation shall set
forth as part of the Logistics Plan the plan for coordinating with and
notifying the neighborhood residents.
e. Compliance with Approved Logistics Plan. The Foundation shall be
required to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the approved Logistics Plan
for each and every element of the Logistics Plan. To the extent that the Foundation fails
to do so, each such violation shall be deemed a violation of the Zoning Code of the City
and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $750.00 for each such violation.
77
{00015961 3} 5
f. Coordination with Wildlife Discovery Center and Lake County Forest
Preserve District. Because Elawa Farm shares certain facilities with the Wildlife Discovery
Center and the Lake County Forest Preserve District, the Foundation shall coordinate the
events relating to the Centennial Celebration (including without limitation set-up and take-
down) with the Wildlife Discovery Center and the Lake County Forest Preserve District
and demonstrate to the City Manager that the events relating to the Centennial Celebration
will not unreasonably interfere with or otherwise violate the obligations of the City with
respect to the Wildlife Discovery Center and the Lake County Forest Preserve District.
g. Continued Effect. Except for the authorization to conduct the Centennial
Celebration with a maximum of 300 guests on September 9, 2017, all provisions of the
SUP Ordinance (including the capacity limitation of 200 persons as set forth in Section 2,
Part 15 of the SUP Ordinance) shall remain in full force and effect.
h. Not a Precedent. The authorization of the Centennial Celebration is
intended to provide a unique exception to the general requirements of the SUP Ordinance
and shall not be deemed a precedent for (i) any other events that do not comply with the
SUP Ordinance, or (ii) any other exceptions to the requirements of the SUP Ordinance.
SECTION THREE: Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full force and
effect upon its passage, approval, and publication in pamphlet form in the manner
provided by law.

Elawa September 9th Party
Hi Mike,
Recently a wedding was cancelled at Elawa. That means that to date we have 1 1 events only that
will have amplified music. The SUP allows for 12. For our September 9th party we will be using a
microphone for welcoming and introductions, etc. We also have the opportunity to have a singer for a
brief time-one half hour to 45 minutes-during the dinner. The singer does not have a band,but he
does have music of some sort and will use a microphone.. At the May City Council meeting, I did say
there would be no amplified music. That was before the cancellation. I am not asking for an
additional amplified event, but just a brief time of amplification which does fit within the SUP.
hope this is clear. I will attend the meeting Monday evening in case there are further questions.
Thank you,
Dianne FitzSimons

Re: E-Newsletters for Lake County Board Members
Hi Susan!
We use a tool called GovDeliver to send all our emails to mass audiences. This includes news releases, board member
newsletters, promotional emails highlighting our services, and more. The tool is similar to Constant Contact, but
GovDelivery only works with governments. Also, unlike other tools like Constant Contact, you are not charged by the
amount of emails you have in their system. We saw our costs soar over time when our newsletter lists really started to
grow when we were using Constant Contact. Our departments also utilize the tool and they are covered by our one
account rather than separate accounts as you would need to do for Constant Contact.
Answers to Questions
1. Does the staff design, write and distribute these newsletters? If so, can you give me an idea of how much
staff time is involved?
Yes, we have a part-time, 20-hour per week employee that primarily works on Board Member newsletters. We
also have a full-time employee that oversees this process, and spends anywhere between 5-10 hours per week
to help with content creation, ensure accuracy, and answer technical questions that Board Members may have.
2. Does the staff maintain and manage the recipient list?
This fluctuates between each Board Member. Some Board Members just send us email addresses to upload into
the system that they have gotten from constituents at local events, talking to them, etc. Others manage their
entire list themselves.
We also initiate our own strategies to generate sign ups. For example, our website features a signup
page (benefit of using GovDelivery) that has helped us get hundreds of signups for our departments and board
members.
3. Do you provide any guidelines for Board members even if staff is not involved? Does the County have any
guidelines for the Board's social media presence/outreach?
Yes, we worked with our State's Attorney's Office to develop guidelines for newsletters and social media. Since
their newsletters are funded by taxpayer money, and their "official" Facebook pages are promoted on our
website, there are legal considerations for content they post on those platforms. I would be happy to share this
with you.
4. Do all Board members send out an e-newsletter?
Yes, all 21!
Thanks,
Jennie

Hi Jennie, hope you are doing well! As you probably know, Melanie Rummel was elected as a Lake Forest City
Alderman. She brought up the idea of being able to send out an E-Newsletter via Constant Contact, as does Mike
Rummel. At this point in the discussion about the possibility of doing this, I wonder if you would be the right person to
answer a couple of questions:
1. Does the staff design, write and distribute these newsletters? If so, can you give me an idea of how much staff
time is involved?
2. Does the staff maintain and manage the recipient list?
3. Do you provide any guidelines for Board members even if staff is not involved? Does the County have any
guidelines for the Board's social media presence/outreach?
4. Do all Board members send out an enewsletter?
Thanks for your answers in advance, they will help frame the City's discussion.
Enjoy sunshine!
