B. Consideration of a Joint Resolution of the City of Lake Forest, County of Lake and
Lake County Partners Regarding the Enhancement of Commuter Rail Service in
Lake County, IL
PRESENTED BY: Mayor Robert Lansing
STAFF CONTACT: Robert Kiely, City Manager, 847-810-3675
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Since the introduction of the Sunrise Express reverse
commuter rail service on the Metra Union Pacific North Line in April 2014, the City has been
exploring opportunities to improve commuter service on the Metra Milwaukee District North
Line. Currently, there is no southbound rail service from the Telegraph Rd. station to the City of
Chicago between the hours of 4:47pm and 7:43pm. This has been problematic for the
corporate businesses located in Conway Office Park and surrounding area. The installation of
a universal crossover north of the Telegraph Road Station will allow northbound Metra trains to
“turn” and fill the service gap.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Metra Milwaukee District North Line (“MD-N”) has not been a
desirable option for employees working at the various corporate offices in and around the
Lake Forest area due to a gap in southbound service to Chicago between the hours of
4:47pm and 7:43pm. Employees are either bused to downtown Lake Forest so they can take
the Metra Union Pacific North Line (“UPN”) or are bused to the Deerfield MD-N station. There is
currently a universal crossover located north of the Deerfield station which enables
northbound trains to “turn” and go southbound in a timely fashion.

Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
During recent discussions with Metra officials regarding proposed improvements along the
MD-N Line as part of the Amtrak Hiawatha Environmental Assessment (“EA”), they
emphasized the operational and financial benefits of a universal crossover, which was
included in their May 18, 2018 letter to IDOT and WisDOT. Representatives from many of the
major corporations in the area have met with Metra and Lake County officials to express their
strong support for the installation of a universal crossover as well as potential adjustments to
the existing train schedule on the line. The proposed resolution is intended to initiate the
creation of a public-private partnership to raise approximately $4.7 million in funding for the
universal crossover. This partnership would include Metra, IDOT, Canadian Pacific, the City,
Lake County, Lake County Partners and multiple employers within a five mile radius of the
Telegraph Road Station.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Has competitive pricing been obtained for proposed
goods/services? No
If no, indicate the specific waiver requested:
Administrative Directive 3-5, Section 9.0D – Sole Source
Administrative Directive 3-5, Section 9.0K – Existing Relationship
Beginning on page 16 of your packet is a draft resolution for City Council consideration. If
approved by the City Council, a copy of the resolution will be presented to the Lake County
Partners Board and the County of Lake for their consideration and approval. They are also
going to provide the proper verbiage for the recitals highlighted on the draft version.
Below is an estimated summary of Project budget:
FY201X Funding Source Amount
Budgeted

The funding for this project was not contemplated until after FY19 budget had been
prepared. It is too early in the process to know if the project would commence in FY19 or
FY20. The project will not proceed until the funding has been secured and the lead time for
ordering the crossover could be up to one-year. Further, the allocation of cost is still very
much in flux. The conceptual division of cost is as follows:
Public - $2.0 million
Private - $2.7 million
The $2 million of public funding would be split by Metra, IDOT, Canadian Pacific, City of Lake
Forest and County of Lake. The City would be tentatively committing up to $500,000 or
approximately 10% of the total project cost. A final funding commitment decision by the City
Council would be required when other public and private parties have pledged their
commitment and an IGA with Metra would need to be entered into.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of Joint Resolution Regarding the Enhancement of Commuter Rail
Service in Lake County, IL.

3. COMMITTEE REPORTS
FINANCE COMMITTEE
A. Consideration of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for FY2019 and Approval of
Rollovers (First Reading)
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847) 810-3612
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approving the first reading of the FY2019
appropriation ordinance and rollovers.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: While the annual municipal budget represents the City’s financial
“plan” for expenditures over the course of the fiscal year, the annual Appropriation Ordinance
is the formal legal mechanism by which the City Council authorizes the actual expenditures of
funds budgeted in the annual budget. It appropriates specific sums of money by object and
purpose of expenditures. State statutes require the passage of an Appropriation Ordinance by
the end of July, which must be filed with the County Clerk within 30 days of approval.
There are some differences between the budget and Appropriation Ordinance. The
Appropriation Ordinance includes the Library, which was not included in the budget approved
at the May 7, 2018 City Council meeting. The Library expenses are approved by the Library
Board. Debt service payments are included in the budget, but are excluded from the
Appropriation Ordinance. The ordinances approving the debt issues serve as the legal
authorization for these annual expenditures.
The Appropriation Ordinance provides for a 10% “contingency” above the budgeted
expenditures. Each separate fund includes an item labeled “contingency” with an
appropriate sum equivalent to 10% of the total funds budgeted. This practice has been
followed for more than thirty years and has worked very efficiently, while still providing for
complete City Council control over budgeted expenditures. It is important to note that the
City Council and City staff follows the adopted budget as its spending guideline, not the
Appropriation Ordinance. Without the contingency, the City Council would have to pass
further modifications to the Appropriation Ordinance to cover any unforeseen expenditures
exceeding the budget.
In order to provide more accurate and efficient accounting and budgeting of City funds, an
annual rollover of funds is required. This eliminates both under and over budgeting of funds in
the new fiscal year and is a widely used standard practice for many municipal governments.
The items on the attached rollover list (page 19) consist of projects that were appropriated in
FY2018 and will not be completed until FY2019. The list is preliminary at this stage as FY2018
invoices are still being paid, but will be finalized for final reading in July.
School District 67 does not recognize the Appropriation Ordinance in their budgeting or
auditing standards. However, due to the fact they are a special charter district, their budget
must be included in the City’s Appropriation Ordinance. School District 67 numbers are
estimates and subject to change, but are not available until second and final reading of the
Ordinance.

4. Approval of an agreement to maintain Membership in Northeastern Illinois Regional
Crime Laboratory (NIRCL) and Authorizing Payment of the FY2019 Membership Fees.
STAFF CONTACT: Deputy Chief R.D. Copeland (847-810-3809)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests City Council approval authorizing
acceptance of an intergovernmental agreement for FY2019 membership with the
Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory (NIRCL).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory was
established in 1968 and currently provides forensic service to over 50 member law
enforcement agencies. Member agencies govern and fund its operations through yearly
membership assessments. NIRCL, located in Vernon Hills, provides the following services to the
Lake Forest Police Department in a timely and effective manner; DNA testing, Latent Prints,
Footwear impressions, Firearms/Tool Marks identification, Controlled Substance and
Toxicology testing as well as authorized evidence destruction and agency training/education
for evidence technicians.
.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The total dues for FY2019 for membership in the NIPCL are
$28,831.00. This amount is divided into two fee items, the first being a membership assessment
of $25,831.00. This fee is based on the population size of the member agency and the second
item is a $3,000.00 maintenance fee that is assessed to all member agencies.
As part of our membership we would request an exemption to competitive bidding under

5. Authorization to Issue Reimbursement for City Work Costs Related to Clean-up of the
City’s Former Municipal Services Site
Staff Contact: Catherine J. Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City Council action is requested to authorize the City
Manager to reimburse Focus Development for costs incurred in the performance of
Unforeseen City Work at the former Municipal Services site. This is the fifth in a series of
reimbursements anticipated as site work continues. Limited areas on the site remain
unexcavated so little additional unforeseen work, if any, is expected.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In February, 2015, the City Council directed that the
environmental cleanup of the former Municipal Services site get underway. The cleanup
work included testing and investigation, demolition of all of the above ground structures,
removal of all known underground slabs, foundations and tanks, hauling and proper disposal
of impacted soils, removal of utilities and preparation and filing of the necessary reports in
order to obtain a letter of No Further Remediation. A No Further Remediation Letter was
received by the City in September, 2016.
Consistent with the terms of the sale of the City’s former Municipal Service Site, and as
detailed in the Redevelopment Agreement, the City is required to reimburse Focus
Development for certain costs related to further cleanup of the site, as needed as excavation
of the site proceeds. In 2017, the City Council authorized reimbursements to Focus
Development for Deferred City Work which included the removal of monitoring wells and
portions of water and sewer lines left on the site after the completion of the City’s clean-up
work because removal could be handled more efficiently as part of the developer’s site
preparation work. The 2017 reimbursements also covered costs related to Unforeseen City
Work incurred as excavation for the three apartment buildings and underground garage
proceeded. The work included the removal of four underground storage tanks, slabs and
foundations all discovered as excavation proceeded.
The current request for reimbursement is for costs related to removal and disposal of
contaminated soil discovered during the excavation for the first condominium building, near
the center of the site. The costs incurred by Focus Development are summarized below.

*The original approved budget for the TIF allocated $3,000,000 for costs related to
environmental remediation. No specific dollar amount was budgeted in the FY 2019 budget
for additional clean-up costs since at the time the budget was created, there was no
indication that further remediation would be needed on the site. If necessary, a
supplemental appropriation will be requested at the end of the fiscal year.
Including the reimbursement now requested, environmental remediation costs to date total
$2,598,739.49 and do not exceed the amount originally allocated for clean-up. This amount
includes clean-up costs incurred directly by the City at the front end of the redevelopment
process and the reimbursements paid to date, and now requested, from Focus for the
unforeseen clean-up work completed after the sale of the property.
COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to issue reimbursement to Focus
Development for direct costs related to Unforeseen City Work completed in the amount of
$243,423.50 consistent with the Redevelopment Agreement.
6. Consideration of an Ordinance Approving a Recommendation 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 recommendation from the Building Review Board is presented to the City Council for
consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
104 Washington Circle - The Building Review Board recommended approval of a new residence
and attached garage to be constructed on a vacant site in an established neighborhood. The
residence previously located on the site was approved for demolition and has already been
removed. Two neighboring property owners spoke in support of the project. The Board voted 4 to
3 to approve the project. The Board members voting in opposition had concerns about the length
of the house in relation to the neighboring homes. In response to the Board’s concerns, the design
of the house has been further refined and as a result, the length of the house has been mitigated
somewhat. The Board recognized that the narrow and deep configuration of the lot, and the
7
Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
desire of the property owners to have an attached garage, contribute to the length of the house.
(Board vote: 4-3, approved)
The Zoning Board of Appeals also considered this project and recommended approval of a
variance to allow the house to be sited consistent with other homes in the neighborhood as
detailed in the following agenda item.
The Ordinance approving the petition as recommended by the Building Review Board, with key
exhibits attached, is included in the Council packet beginning on page 61. The Ordinance,
complete with all exhibits, is 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 Ordinance in accordance with the Building Review Board’s
recommendation.
7. Consideration of Ordinances Approving Recommendations from the Zoning Board
of Appeals. (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 Zoning Board of Appeals are presented to the City
Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
620 Washington Road – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval of variances from the
side and rear yard setbacks to allow construction of a replacement garage and linking element
between the garage and the house. No public testimony was presented to the Zoning Board of
Appeals on this petition. (Board vote: 4 - 0, approved)
104 Washington Circle – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommends approval of a variance from
the front yard setback to allow a new home to be constructed consistent with the existing pattern
of homes in the neighborhood. This petition was also considered by the Building Review Board as
detailed in the previous agenda item. Public testimony in support of the variance was presented
by two neighboring property owners. (Board vote: 4 - 0, approved)
The Ordinances approving the petitions as recommended by the Zoning Board of Appeals, with key
exhibits attached, are included in the Council packet beginning on page 69. 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
Zoning Board of Appeals’ recommendations.
8. Consideration of an Ordinance Conveying Certain Surplus Real Estate Owned by

Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is asked to consider a recommendation
from the Property and Public Lands Committee in support of conveying open space that was
created as part of the Park Lane Subdivision, to the Park Lane Homeowners’ Association,
(“Park Lane HOA”).

and recommended approval
of the conveyance
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Park Lane Subdivision was approved by the City Council
and recorded in 1996. As is common in Planned Preservation Subdivisions, the development
was configured to preserve a large area of common open space, which surrounds the 46
building lots. The detention ponds required to support the development are located on a
portion of the preserved open space which totals approximately 50 acres. However, unlike
other subdivisions, the open space area was dedicated to the City of Lake Forest rather than
retained as common area for the subdivision, in the ownership of the HOA. Although the
open space was dedicated to the City through the plat of subdivision, it is not identified or
designated as a public park or planned for park use in the future. The impetus for dedicating
the land to the City at the time of subdivision is not clear, but apparently was related to the
developer’s hope that the open space might one day be developed for a non-residential
use.
Although the preserved open space in the Park Lane Subdivision is owned by the City, the
plat requires the HOA to maintain the open space in perpetuity including maintenance of the
detention ponds and mowing of open space areas, creating an unusual situation. The Park
Lane HOA has to date been a very good steward of the open space and ponds, regularly
maintaining and enhancing the area. Over several years, residents of Park Lane have
expressed concern about the unusual arrangement and the fact that although no public
funds are used to support the open space; because the land is in the ownership of the City,
the area, including the ponds, are open to the public. The residents have expressed
concerns about security, vandalism and public access into an area maintained by the HOA.
Following receipt of a petition from the Park Lane HOA last fall, a copy of which is included in
the Council’s packet, the Property and Public Lands Committee considered this matter and
directed staff to explore the feasibility of conveying the open space to the HOA. In follow up
discussions with staff from the Public Works and Park, Recreation and Forestry departments,
both departments expressed support for the proposed conveyance noting that the usual
situation has been a subject of confusion and pointing out that City crews do not maintain or
monitor the open space areas in the Park Lane Subdivision. A blanket easement would be
retained by the City for utility and drainage purposes in the event that the conveyance
occurs. The Police Department noted that if the property is transferred to private ownership,
initially there will likely be some feedback from members of the public, including residents
from outside of Lake Forest, who currently fish at the ponds. If the property is conveyed to the
Park Lane HOA, signs indicating that the property is in private ownership would be installed by
the HOA.

Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
After considering the unusual circumstances surrounding the open space in the Park Lane
Subdivision, the Property and Public Lands Committee determined that conveying the
property to the Park Lane HOA would align the ownership and maintenance responsibilities,
and would eliminate City liability for the area. Importantly, the Committee noted that once
conveyed the areas would continue to be protected open space in perpetuity, as required
by the recorded plat of subdivision.
The Ordinance declaring the property as surplus and directing the conveyance to the Park
Lane Homeowners’ Association is included in the Council packet beginning on page 85. The
letter of request from the Park Lane HOA, a vicinity map and a copy of the plat of subdivision
are also included as background information.
COUNCIL ACTION: Waive first reading and if desired, grant final approval of an Ordinance
conveying preserved open space created as part of the Park Lane Subdivision, to the Park
Lane Homeowners’ Association.

6. ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending Sections 94.15 through 94.21, titled
“Open Fires” of the City Code (First Reading)
STAFF CONTACTS: Pete Siebert, Fire Chief, 847-810-3864
Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development, 847-810-3504
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: In response to concerns and questions received from
residents, the Council is asked to consider clarifications and modifications to the Code
provisions relating to open fires of various types, in particular, recreational fires on residential
properties, within the City limits.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: As currently written, the City Code does not permit any type of
open fire without a permit. However, various types of open fires occur throughout the City
and enforcement occurs on a complaint basis.
In response to recent input from some residents, City staff has reviewed the City Code
language and reconsidered the current prohibitions in the context of current practice, other
life safety Codes, development patterns and past experience with open fires. The proposed
amendments give priority to life safety, while at the same time, providing some latitude for
open fires, within the City limits, for recreational, ceremonial and natural area maintenance
purposes. In summary, the amendments permit open fires on residential properties with some
limitations.
Open fires are permitted on residential properties of 60,000 square feet or larger under
the following conditions:
Conformance with established setbacks from structures and property lines.
10
Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
Dry, seasoned wood is used for fuel; no burning of trash, leaves or other debris.
The fire is attended constantly until extinguished.
Fire extinguishing equipment or material is nearby.
Fires in portable, covered outdoor fire pits or containers are permitted on residential
properties of any size under similar conditions as those noted above.
Fires not meeting the above conditions may still be permitted subject to review by the
Fire Chief and the issuance of required permits.
Staff from the Fire, Parks and Recreation and Community Developments collaborated on the
proposed amendments. The amendments are presented to the City Council with the
endorsement of all three departments.
The Ordinance, with a blackline version of the Code Sections reflecting the proposed
amendments is included in the Council packet beginning on page 91. A clean copy of the
Code Sections, incorporating all of the proposed amendments as recommended by staff, is
also included in the packet for ease of reading.
COUNCIL ACTION: Grant first reading of an Ordinance amending Sections 94.15 through
94.21, titled “Open Fires” of the City Code.
2. Consideration of Two Recommendations Related to Construction of a Hyatt Place
Hotel, in Conway Park. (Waive First Reading of an Ordinance and if Desired by the
City Council, Grant Final Approval and if Desired by the City Council, Approve a
Resolution by Motion)
PRESENTED BY: Catherine J. Czerniak, Director of Community Development
Robert R. Kiely, Jr., City Manager
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is asked to consider a recommendation from
the Building Review Board in support of the design aspects of a Hyatt Place Hotel proposed
for construction in Conway Park.
and
The Council is asked to consider a limited-term financial incentive package for the hotel to
support the following goals: 1) to provide a hotel, as an amenity in Conway Park in response
to requests from current corporate tenants of the Park; 2) to meet the needs of residents and
visitors who currently seek lodging outside of the community; and 3) to expand on and
diversify commercial development within the City.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Conway Park is a corporate office park located at the western
edge of Lake Forest, adjacent to the Illinois Tollway. The office park was annexed by the City
over 20 years ago and today, the park is nearly built out with 13 office buildings of various
sizes and the Lake Forest Graduate School of Management. A hotel is a permitted use in
Conway Park and a hotel was always envisioned along the Route 60 Corridor to serve
businesses, residents and visitors. A Hyatt Place Hotel is proposed on one of the last remaining
vacant parcels in Conway Park.
11
Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
More than 20 years ago, when the property along the Route 60 Corridor near the Tollway was
annexed, a framework was put in place to support development of the area with a first-class
corporate office park and supporting ancillary uses. Today, Conway Park, along with the
office buildings located on the south side of Route 60, is home to many corporate
headquarters reflecting that early vision. However, the anticipated ancillary uses (hotels,
restaurants and limited service businesses) have not yet been established in the area to
support, retain and attract corporate users, employees of the office park, residents of the
community and visitors.
A vibrant Route 60 Corridor is consistent with the community goals identified in the City’s
recently updated Strategic Plan. The Business and Economic Vitality Chapter of the Plan
states that the City “will use economic development tools” to engage property owners, take
advantage of opportunities and overcome challenges in achieving desired development.
The Plan specifically speaks to working with entrepreneurs and employers who complement
the City’s long-term economic vision in order to establish and maintain an appropriate
balance between the residential and commercial tax bases in the community. The Plan also
directs that the City will engage in proactive economic development efforts to attract key
businesses in commercial corridors. Council consideration of an incentive package to
achieve development of a hotel in the Route 60 Corridor, is consistent with the directives in
the Strategic Plan.
Design Review – Building Review Board
Earlier this year, over the course of two meetings, the Building Review Board considered a
request for approval of the design aspects of the proposed Hyatt Place Hotel. At the Board’s
request, the details of the design, exterior materials and overall site plan were refined after
the first meeting and enhanced plans were presented to the Board for a final
recommendation at the March, 2018 meeting. The Board heard testimony in support of the
petition from one resident. The Conway Park Owners’ Association also submitted testimony in
support of the hotel noting that final approval from the Owners’ Association is required prior
to construction, consistent with the covenants pertaining to Conway Park. The Board voted 6
to 0 in support of the petition. The ordinance and key exhibits are included in the Board’s
packet beginning on page 99. The ordinance, complete with all exhibits, is available for
review in the Community Development Department.
Review of Incentive Request
In February, 2018, with the approval of the City Council, Michael Tobin, CBRE, was engaged
to assist the City in considering the request for financial incentives. Mr. Tobin and his
colleagues worked with the Mayor, Finance Committee Chairman, City Attorney and City
staff to assure that the right questions were asked of the developer, complete information
obtained and a thorough analysis conducted of both the short-term and long-term benefits
of the proposed hotel development to the overall community.

STAFF CONTACT: Sally Swarthout, Director-Parks, Recreation, and Forestry (847-810-3942)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Friends of Lake Forest Park and Recreation Foundation
is requesting approval to move their annual Oktoberfest Fundraising event from the Lake
Forest Recreation Center, 400 Hastings Rd, Lake Forest, IL to City Hall, 220 E. Deerpath Rd,
Lake Forest, IL.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: A portion of the Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation
Foundation’s (the Foundation) mission is to raise funds to further programs and services
provided by the City of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation department. Oktoberfest is a key
component of the Foundation’s fundraising initiative.
The Foundation has hosted Oktoberfest events in 2016 and 2017 at the Recreation Center,
400 Hastings Rd. After flooding rains in 2016, the Foundation moved their event from the grass
fields to the parking lot south of the Fitness Center at the Recreation Center. After the 2017
event, a suggestion was made to move Oktoberfest into a more central location in the heart
of the City of Lake Forest to create an open, welcoming community event that is accessible
to all.

Monday, June 18, 2018 City Council Agenda
After discussions with the Foundation Board, Staff, and representatives from the Police and
Fire Departments it was determined by all that moving Oktoberfest to the City Hall location
would not be too disruptive to the area and would be good for the event, our residents, the
Foundation, Parks and Recreation, and the City.
Currently, the Foundation hosts the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Market Square. Since
the Foundation has taken over the logistics for the Tree Lighting celebration, the community
has seen an increase in activities and participation throughout the event. The Foundation
also supports the Concerts in the Square activities throughout the summer months.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval for the Friends of Lake Forest Parks and Recreation Foundation to
change the venue of their annual Oktoberfest event to City Hall, 220 E. Deerpath Rd.
2.Adoption of Decision Making Parameters
STAFF CONTACT: Robert Kiely, Jr., City Manager
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 1994 the City Council adopted” Decision Making Parameters”
which served as guidelines for evaluating and acting upon matters brought before it. In
November 2017 the Mayor and City Manager presented the Parameters to the City Council
for its reviews and consideration. The City Council members were asked to suggest edits for
consideration at a future Council meeting.
At its January 16, 2018 meeting, the City Council was presented with a revised draft of the
parameters prepared by Mayor Lansing and Alderman Beidler. The Council agreed to
postpone discussion to a future workshop meeting. This meeting was held on May 21 and
resulted in extensive discussion and debate on the proposed document. At the conclusion of
the workshop meeting, Council members were asked to submit any final thoughts to City Staff
who would pass them to Mayor Lansing and Alderman Beidler so that a final draft could be
available for tonight’s meeting. A copy is beginning on page 114 of your packet.
It has been recommended that once adopted, the Parameters be brought before the
Council for review and consideration on an annual basis.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the Proposed Decision Making Parameters

WHEREAS, The City of Lake Forest (the “CITY”) is a home rule municipality in accordance with
the Constitution of the State of Illinois of 1970;
WHEREAS, the CITY has a strong historical bond with commuter rail service with scores of
former and current residents, visitors and employees utilizing the Union Pacific North (“UP”) and
Milwaukee District North (“MD-N”) lines respectively to access places of employment, cultural and
educational events as well as other places of interest on the North Shore, in Chicago and southern
Wisconsin;
WHEREAS, The CITY has a long tradition of participating in public-private partnerships and
bringing together like-minded groups, organizations and individuals to achieve outcomes that benefit
the long-term best interest of neighborhoods, the City, northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin;

WHEREAS, The COUNTY is
WHEREAS, Lake County Partners (“PARTNERS”) is a private, non-profit corporation focused on
economic development and improving the business climate in Lake County;
WHEREAS. PARTNERS is committed to attracting, retaining and expanding businesses,
assembling business resources, and aligning workforce supply with industry demand to ensure that Lake
County companies have what they need to succeed;
WHEREAS, Lake County, Illinois is home to more than 700,000 people, approximately 30,000
businesses including 12 FORTUNE 500 headquarters, with more than 240,000 of those jobs within a five-
mile radius of the Lake Forest Telegraph Road Metra Station;
WHEREAS, the CITY, COUNTY and PARTNERS share a common purpose in working with
businesses in Lake County to enhance the commuter rail operations for current and future employees of
said businesses whose number one strategic challenge is the attraction and retention of best-qualified
employees;
WHEREAS, the various businesses within this five-mile radius are growing and expanding at such
a rate that they are expected to add approximately 1,000 jobs per year over the next decade;
WHEREAS, the current train service schedule had been in place for many years and does not
effectively meet the needs of the businesses and their employees and should be possibly modified to
provide additional early morning service like the “Sunrise Express” reverse commuter train added on the
UP North line;
WHEREAS, the MD-N line currently does not offer southbound service to Chicago from the Lake
Forest Telegraph Road Station between the hours of 4:47pm and 7:43 pm, which adversely impacts
employees who may work in Lake County and reside in or near downtown Chicago;

WHEREAS, the CITY, COUNTY and Lake County residents have benefited over the years by
having convenient access to Metra passenger rail service within the community, and support efforts to
enhance the reliability and fluidity of rail operations on the MD-N Line to increase scheduling flexibility
and Metra ridership;
WHEREAS, recently, the CITY, COUNTY, PARTNERS and businesses located in Lake County have
been meeting with representatives of Metra to explore opportunities for an enhanced schedule and
other rail service improvements along the MD-N Line, including adding southbound service during hours
in the afternoon, reverse commuting options and rush hour express service to Lake Forest;
WHEREAS, Metra has acknowledged that it favors adding a universal crossover in Lake Forest in
order to facilitate scheduling flexibility, congestion reduction and enhanced rail service, including
addressing gaps in service, lack of express trains and flexibility in routing trains during system
maintenance;
WHEREAS, the CITY, COUNTY, PARTNERS and area businesses, in cooperation with Metra, IDOT
and Canadian Pacific will realize a mutual gain by creating a public-private partnership to undertake
schedule changes and adding a universal crossover in Lake Forest on the MD-N Line;

mowers and other lawn maintenance equipment.
The City Council had lengthy discussion on a number of topics related to this item that included the amount
of comments both positive and negative about the proposed ordinance, noise and air pollution, sound
levels, the use of electronic equipment related to lawn care, complaints, enforcement and fairness of the
proposed ordinance. The City Council discussion continued and it was the consensus of the Council to send
this item back to the Public Works Committee for further review.
Mayor Lansing asked if there was anyone from the public who wanted to comment.
Former Alderman John Looby shared his opinion on opposition of the Ordinance and asked what the Council
is doing about motorcycles on Lake Road and solicitors ringing doorbells at 9pm.

about being neighborly and asked residents to use judgement when using leaf blowers.
Mayor Lansing asked for a motion to table this item and remand it back to the Public Works Committee.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, grant final reading of an Ordinance
amending Section 135.108(C), titled “Noise, Generally” of the City Code.

3. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Zoning Board of Appeals in Support of an
Amendment to the Special Use Permit for The Gallery Restaurant. (If desired by the Council,
Waive First Reading and Grant Final Approval of the Ordinance.)
Catherine Czerniak, Director of Community Development, reported on the recommendation from the
Zoning Board of Appeals in support of allowing outdoor dining at The Gallery Restaurant. She stated that in
September, 2017, the City Council granted a Special Use Permit to authorize a new restaurant to operate in
an existing one-story building at 202 Wisconsin Avenue in conjunction with an art gallery. The restaurant
has been in operation since last September and the unique business and casual dining experience offered
has been welcomed by many in the community. In April, the business owners appeared before the Zoning
Board of Appeals to request an amendment to Special Use Permit to allow the existing small patio to be
used for outdoor dining on a limited basis.
Ms. Czerniak reported that the Zoning Board of Appeals deliberated and unanimously stated support for
amending the Special Use Permit to allow outdoor dining subject to various conditions of approval.
However, the 4 to 3 vote of the Board reflects disagreement over the addition of a condition requiring
periodic measurement of noise levels emanating from the patio. The three Board members voting nay
stated support for outdoor dining, but opposition to the condition stating that it put an undue burden on
the business owners.
The City Council had discussion on the conditions of the SUP, impacts to the neighbors, the number of days
and hours of operation, the planned enhanced screening that will be provided by the business owners and
the maximum number of person allowed on the patio (30).
Mayor Lansing asked if there was anyone from the public who wanted to comment. Seeing none, he asked
for a motion.

Re: Engagement Letter- Special Counsel Representation
Dear Bob:
I am writing regarding the request of The City of Lake Forest (the “City”) that the Filippini
Law Firm LLP (the “Firm”) continue to represent the City as special counsel on a limited number
of carry-over matters following the City’s appointment of a successor City Attorney. This
engagement commenced as of 5 June 2018.
The purpose of this letter is to provide certain information regarding the scope of our
representation and the terms of our engagement that will govern this limited engagement.
Attached to this letter are our Firm’s standard terms of engagement, which are identical to the
terms in force during the Firm’s tenure as City Attorney. Please review these and let me know if
you have any questions concerning our policies. Additionally, we will be applying our special
government rates for the City, which are discounted approximately 30-40% from our standard
rates and are less than half the rates charged by other special counsel currently retained by the
City:
Timekeeper Hourly Rate
Vic Filippini $345
Betsy Gates-Alford 245
Bob Pickrell 240
Julie Dow 160
As noted in my 8 June 2018 letter, these rates will be adjusted effective 1 September 2018:
Note that we have not yet received any invoices from Michael Tobin at CBRE for
consultation services regarding a requested economic incentive agreement. Although that third-
43
Mr. Robert R. Kiely, Jr.

{00019131}
party engagement was authorized by the City Council during our service as City Attorney, I note
that it will ultimately be billed to the City during our service as special counsel.
If the terms described above and in the attached terms of engagement are satisfactory,
please so indicate by signing and returning a copy of this letter.
Very truly yours,
FILIPPINI LAW FIRM, LLP

{00019131}
FILIPPINI LAW FIRM
TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT
We appreciate your decision to retain Filippini Law Firm LLP as your legal counsel.
This document explains how we work, our obligations to you, your obligations to us, what we will do
on your behalf, and how our charges will be determined and billed. Experience has shown that an
understanding of these matters will contribute to a better relationship between us, and that in turn
makes our efforts more productive.
Our engagement and the services that we will provide to you are limited to the matter identified in the
accompanying letter. Any changes in the scope of our representation as de scribed in the letter must
be approved in writing. We will provide services of a strictly legal nature related to the matters
described in that letter. You will provide us with the factual information and materials we require to
perform the services identified in the letter, and you will make such business or technical decisions
and determinations as are appropriate. You will not rely on us for business, investment, or accounting
decisions, or expect us to investigate the character or credit of persons o r entities with whom you may
be dealing, unless otherwise specified in the letter.
We cannot guarantee the outcome of any matter. Any expression of our professional judgment
regarding your matter or the potential outcome is, of course, limited by our knowledge of the facts and
based on the law at the time of expression. It is also subject to any unknown or uncertain factors or
conditions beyond our control.
Confidentiality and Related Matters
Regarding the ethics of our profession that will govern our rep resentation, several points deserve
emphasis. As a matter of professional responsibility, we are required to hold confidential all
information relating to the representation of our clients. This professional obligation and the legal
privilege for attorney-client communications exist to encourage candid and complete communication
between a client and his lawyer. We can perform truly beneficial services for a client only if we are
aware of all information that might be relevant to our representation. Conse quently, we trust that our
attorney-client relationship with you will be based on mutual confidence and unrestrained
communication that will facilitate our proper representation of you.
Additionally, you should be aware that, in instances in which we rep resent a corporation or other entity,
our client relationship is with the entity and not with its individual officers, officials, executives,
shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, or persons in similar positions, or with its
parent, subsidi aries, or other affiliates. In those cases, our professional responsibilities are owed only
to that entity, alone, and no conflict of interest will be asserted by you because we represent persons
with respect to interests that are adverse to individual persons or business organizations who have a
relationship with you. That is to say, unless the letter accompanying this document indicates
otherwise, Filippini Law Firm’s attorney-client relationship with the entity does not give rise to an
attorney-client relationship with the parent, subsidiaries or other affiliates of the entity, and
representation of the entity in this matter will not give rise to any conflict of interest in the event other
clients of the firm are adverse to the parent, subsidiaries or other affiliates of the entity. Of course, we
can also represent individual executives, shareholders, directors, members, managers, partners, and
other persons related to the entity in matters that do not conflict with the interests of the entity, but any
such representation will be the subject of a separate engagement letter. Similarly, when we represent
a party on an insured claim, we represent the insured, not the insurer, even though we may be
approved, selected, or paid by the insurer.
45
{00019131}
The firm attempts to achieve efficiencies and savings for its clients by managing the firm’s
administrative operations (e.g., file storage, document duplication, word processing, accounting/billing)
in the most efficient manner possible, including outsourcing certain fun ctions to third parties.
Outsourcing in this manner may require the firm to allow access by third parties to your confidential
information. The firm will follow applicable legal ethics rules with regard to such outsourcing and
protection of confidential information.
Fees and Billing
Clients frequently ask us to estimate the fees and other charges they are likely to incur in connection
with a particular matter. We are pleased to respond to such requests whenever possible with an
estimate based on our professional judgment. This estimate always carries the understanding that,
unless we agree otherwise in writing, it does not represent a maximum, minimum, or fixed fee
quotation. The ultimate cost frequently is more or less than the amount estimated.
Legal Fees. We typically undertake engagements on an hourly basis, but we are amenable to
alternative billing arrangements. For example, we may agree with our clients to perform services on
a fixed-fee or other basis that we and the client believe will encourag e efficiency and reflect the value
of our services in relation to a particular objective.
If you and we have agreed on a fixed fee arrangement, our fees will not be limited to the fixed amount
if you fail to make a complete and accurate disclosure of information that we have requested and that
we reasonably require for our work, or if you materially change the terms, conditions, scope, or nature
of the work, as described by you when we determined the fixed amount. If any of these events occurs,
our fees will be based upon the other factors described below, unless you and we agree on a revised
fixed fee.
If the accompanying engagement letter does not provide for a fixed fee, or if we do not otherwise
confirm to you in writing a fee arrangement, our fees fo r services will be determined as described in
the following paragraphs.
When establishing fees for services that we render, we are guided primarily by the time and labor
required, although we also consider other appropriate factors, such as the novelty and difficulty of the
legal issues involved; the legal skill required to perform the particular assignment; time -saving use of
resources (including research, analysis, data and documentation) that we have previously developed
and stored electronically or otherwise in quickly retrievable form; the fee customarily charged by
comparable firms for similar legal services; the amount of money involved or at risk and the results
obtained; and the time constraints imposed by either you or the circumstances. In determining a
reasonable fee for the time and labor required for a particular matter, we consider the ability,
experience, and reputation of the lawyer or lawyers in our firm who perform the services. To facilitate
this determination, we internally assign to each lawyer an hourly rate based on these factors. Of
course, our internal hourly rates change periodically to account for increases in our cost of delivering
legal service, other economic factors, and the augmentation of a particular lawyer’s ability, exp erience,
and reputation. Any such changes in hourly rates are applied prospectively, as well as to unbilled time
previously expended. We record and bill our time in one-tenth hour (six minute) increments.
When selecting lawyers to perform services for you, we generally seek to assign lawyers having the
lowest hourly rates consistent with the skills, time demands, and other factors influencing the
professional responsibility involved in each matter. That does not mean that we will always assign a
lawyer with a lower hourly rate than other lawyers. As circumstances require, the services of lawyers
in the firm with special skills or experience may be sought when that will either (a) reduce the legal
expense to you, (b) provide a specialized legal skill needed, or (c) help move the matter forward more
quickly. Also, to encourage the use of such lawyers in situations where their services can provide a
significant benefit that is disproportionate to the time devoted to the matter, we may not bill for their
services on an hourly rate basis but, if you agree in advance, we will adjust the fee on an “added value”
46
{00019131}
basis at the conclusion of the matter if and to the extent their services contribute to a favorable result
for you.
Disbursements. In addition to legal fees, our statements will include out-of-pocket expenses that we
have advanced on your behalf and our internal charges (which may exceed direct costs and allocated
overhead expenses) for certain support activities. Alternatively, the firm may charge f or such internal
charges as a percentage of the fees charged. Advanced expenses generally will include, but are not
limited to, such items as travel, postage, filing, recording, certification, and registration fees charged
by governmental bodies. Our internal charges typically include, but are not limited to, such items as
toll calls, facsimile transmissions, overnight courier services, certain charges for terminal time for
computer research and complex document production, and charges for photocopying ma terials sent
to the client or third parties or required for our use.
We may request an advance cost deposit when we expect that we will be required to incur substantial
costs on behalf of the client.
During the course of our representation, it may be appropriate to hire third parties to provide services
on your behalf. These services may include such things as consulting or testifying experts,
investigators, providers of computerized litigation support, and court reporters. Because of the legal
“work product” protection afforded to services that an attorney requests from third parties, in certain
situations our firm may assume responsibility for retaining the appropriate service providers. Even if
we do so, however, you will be responsible for paying all fees and expenses directly to the service
providers or reimbursing us for these expenses.
The firm attempts to achieve efficiencies and savings for its clients when dealing with independent
contractors. The firm may be able to obtain a reduced charge from the contractor if the firm provides
certain functions, such as billing, collection, equipment, space, facilities, or clerical help. For these
administrative and coordination services, the firm may charge an administrative fee, which will be
separately disclosed to you.
Billing. We bill periodically throughout the engagement for a particular matter, and our periodic
statements are due when rendered. If our fees are based primarily on the amount of our time devoted
to the matter, our statements will be rendered monthly. In instances in which we represent more than
one person with respect to a matter, each person that we represent is jointly and severally liable for
our fees and expenses with respect to the representation. Our statements contain a c oncise summary
of each matter for which legal services are rendered and a fee is charged.
If a statement remains unpaid for more than 30 days, you will be contacted by a firm representative
inquiring why it is unpaid. Additionally, if a statement has not been paid within 30 days from its date,
the firm may impose an interest charge of 1.25 percent per month (a 15 percent annual percentage
rate) from the 30th day after the date of the statement until it is paid in full. Interest charges apply to
specific monthly statements on an individual statement basis. Any payments made on past due
statements are applied first to the oldest outstanding statement.
It is the firm’s policy that if an invoice remains unpaid for more than 90 days, absent extraordinary
circumstances and subject to legal ethics constraints, the firm's representation will cease, and you
hereby authorize us to withdraw from all representation of you. Any unapplied deposits will be applied
to outstanding balances. Generally, the firm will not recommence its representation or accept new
work from you until your account is brought current and a new deposit for fees and costs, in an amount
that the firm determines, is paid to it.
In addition, if you do not pay the firm's statements as they become due, the firm may require a
substantial partial payment and delivery of an interest -bearing promissory note as part of any
arrangement under which it may, in its discretion, agree to continue its representation. Any such
promissory note will serve merel y as evidence of your obligation, and shall not be regarded as
payment.
47
{00019131}
If allowed by applicable law, the firm is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs if
collection activities are necessary. In addition, the firm shall have all general, possessory, or retaining
liens, and all special or charging liens, recognized by law.
Payment of our fees and costs is not contingent on the ultimate outcome of our representation, unless
we have expressly agreed in writing to a contingent fee.
Questions About Our Bills. We invite you to discuss freely with us any questions that you have
concerning a fee charged for any matter. We want our clients to be satisfied with both the quality of
our services and the reasonableness of the fees that we charge for those services. We will attempt to
provide as much billing information as you require and in such customary form that you desire, and
are willing to discuss with you any of the various billing formats we have available that best suits your
needs.
Relationships with Other Clients
We may be asked to represent a client with respect to interests that are adverse to those of another
client who is represented by the firm in connection with another matter. Just as you would not wish to
be prevented in an appropriate situation from retaining a law firm that competes with Filippini Law Firm,
our firm wishes to be able to consider the representation of other persons or entities that may be
competitors in your industry or who may have interests that are adverse to yours, but with respect to
matters that are unrelated in any way to our representation of you. The ethics that govern us permit
us to accept such multiple representations, assuming certain conditions are met, as set forth below.
During the term of this engagement, we will not accept representation of another client to pursue
interests that are directly adverse to your interests unless and until we make full disclosure to you of
all the relevant facts, circumstances, and implications of our undertaking the two representations, and
confirm to you in good faith that we have done so and that the following criteria are met: (i) there is
no substantial relationship between any matter in which we are representing or have represented you
and the matter for the other client; (ii) any confidential information that we have received from you will
not be available to the other client without your consent; (iii) our effective representation of you and
the discharge of our professional responsibilities to you will not b e prejudiced by our representation of
the other client; and (iv) the other client has also consented in writing based on our full disclosure of
the relevant facts, circumstances, and implications of our undertaking the two representations. If the
foregoing conditions are satisfied, we may undertake the adverse representation and all conflict issues
will be deemed to have been resolved or waived by you.
By making this agreement, we are establishing the criteria that will govern the exercise of your right
under applicable ethical rules to object to our representation of another client whose interests are
adverse to yours. If you contest in good faith the facts underlying our confirmation to you that the
specified criteria have been met, then we will have the burden of reasonably supporting those facts.
Knowledge Management Tool
In order to better and more economically serve our clients, we may implement a document search
engine that will allow us to search the firm’s institutional work product to determine wh ether there exist
documents created for one client that can be used as a starting point for the preparation of new
documents for other clients. Documents that are subject to ethics wall restrictions, have extraordinary
confidentiality requirements, or contain sensitive client information will not be included in this system.
Termination
Upon completion of the matter to which this representation applies, or upon earlier termination of our
relationship, the attorney-client relationship will end unless you and we have expressly agreed to a
continuation with respect to other matters. We hope, of course, that such a continuation will be the
case. The representation is terminable at will by either of us. The termination of the representation
48
{00019131}
will not terminate your obligation to pay fees and expenses incurred prior to the termination and for
any services rendered or disbursements required to implement the transition to new counsel.
* * * * *
Your agreement to this engagement constitutes your acceptance of the fo regoing terms and
conditions. If any of them is unacceptable to you, please advise us now so that we can resolve
any differences and proceed with a clear, complete, and consistent understanding of our
relationship.

For definitions of classifications not otherwise set out, the Department generally has on file such definitions which are available. If a task to be
performed is not subject to one of the classifications of pay set out, the Department will upon being contacted state which neighboring county
has such a classification and provide such rate, such rate being deemed to exist by reference in this document. If no neighboring county rate
applies to the task, the Department shall undertake a special determination, such special determination being then deemed to have existed
under this determination. If a project requires these, or any classification not listed, please contact IDOL at 217-782-1710 for wage rates or
clarifications.
