2. Acknowledge Receipt of the Notification of Sale of General Obligation Refunding
Bonds, Series 2021
STAFF CONTACT: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: It is requested that the City Council acknowledge receipt
of the Notification of Sale associated with the 2021 Refunding Bond issue, as required in the
Bond Ordinance approved by the City Council on August 2, 2021.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City regularly monitors bond market conditions to assess
opportunities to refund, or refinance, existing debt obligations and achieve a savings through
lower interest rates. With an opportunity to refinance the 2013 General Obligation (GO)
Bonds, staff was authorized to proceed with preparation for a refunding bond issue. A
preliminary official statement was prepared and submitted to Moody’s Investors Service with
a request for a rating, and Moody’s assigned a Aaa rating to the proposed issue and affirmed
the Aaa rating on all GO debt of the City.
On August 19, a competitive online auction was hosted by Speer Financial, the City’s
financial advisory firm. Nine bidders submitted a total of 63 bids during the auction. The
successful bidder was Northland Securities who bid a True Interest Cost of 1.0065%. Savings
over the life of the bonds exceeds $1.6 million. All parameters set forth in the ordinance
approved by City Council were met and the City took official action to accept the low
bid. The bond closing will occur on September 15.

3. Approval of the Purchase of a New Storage Array for the City’s Data Center in the
Amount of $54,814 Based on State of Illinois Contract
STAFF CONTACT: Joseph Gabanski, Assistant Director of IT, 847-810-3591
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval to purchase a new Storage Array
for the City’s Data Center.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In summer of 2015 The City retained an IT Consultant, Client First
Consulting to facilitate a completive selection process for a new Data Center
implementation or data center cloud offering. At that time, it was found that Nimble Storage
Attached Network (SAN) device was the storage option that best fit the needs of the City.
The device is approaching end of life on 12/31/2021 and a replacement is required in order
to maintain support.
The Nimble Storage array is responsible for the entire virtual server environment including the
BS&A ERP System, Fire records management system, RecTrac, the LF Now app database, and
other critical systems.
In June 2021, the IT Department evaluated product offerings of similar size and functionality. It
was determined that an in-place replacement of the Nimble storage device is in the best
interests of the City due to the current system meeting or exceeding performance and
functionality expectations.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: On July 15, 2021 City staff received a proposal from CDW for the
system replacement. Pricing obtained from this proposal is based on the State of Illinois
Contract CMT1021170 as part of the Illinois Department of Central Management Services’
joint purchasing program. This contract was awarded to the lowest cost and responsible
bidder.

4. Approval of a 3 Year Renewal Agreement for Microsoft Enterprise Licensing with Dell
Marketing L.P. Based on State of Illinois Contract
STAFF CONTACT: Joseph Gabanski, Assistant IT Director (847-810-3591)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council approval to enter into a
three-year contract with Dell Marketing, L.P., (Dell) for Microsoft software which includes
maintenance support services and licensing for all City Microsoft workstation and server
operating systems, databases, SharePoint Online, and the Office 365 suite.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In 2015, City Council approved to move to the Office 365 suite,
at that time, being a lower cost alternative to replacing on-premise Microsoft systems. Since
its initial inception, the City has been increasing utilization of the additional product offerings
included in the Office 365 suite. In 2017, the City moved the majority of file storage to the
SharePoint Online and OneDrive platforms, easing the transition to remote-working during the
COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the IT department implemented the Power BI platform, to
deliver meaningful information from discontinuous data sources to support various City
operations. IT is currently in process of implementing Microsoft’s Power Automate and Power
Apps in order to reduce manual/repetitive data entry for staff.

5. Award of Proposal to Data Works Plus LLC. for the Purchase of a Live Scan
Fingerprint System in the amount of $28,637.00
STAFF CONTACT: Rob Copeland, Deputy Chief of Police (847-810-3809)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council approval to award the
vendor, DataWorks Plus LLC, for the purchase of one (1) live scan fingerprint system for the
Police Department booking area.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The live scan fingerprint system is used by every police
department throughout the State of Illinois for the processing most criminal arrestees,
completing criminal background checks and verifying identities of criminal suspects. The
digital fingerprints are transmitted electronically to the Illinois State Police and the FBI
fingerprint database. All positively identified criminal suspects must go through the booking
process and then entered into the NCIC criminal database supported by the FBI. Any
unidentified suspects or suspects providing false identification can be more readily identified
through the electronic submission of their fingerprints.
The police department has had its current Live Scan Fingerprint System for six (6) years. The
operating system for the hardware cannot be upgraded and is no longer supported by the
Illinois State Police and has reached its end of life.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Staff submitted for quotes from five vendors approved by the Illinois
State Police for use in the criminal justice system. Tyler Technologies, the company who
provides our department with Records Management Software (including our arrest and
booking application) was also consulted as to which system integrated with their system. Tyler

7. Award of Bid for the 2021 Dickinson Hall Tuck Pointing Project to the Lowest
Responsive and Responsible Bidder, Bruce Brugioni Construction, in the Amount of
$130,533.47 to Include a 10% Contingency Amount of $13,053.35 for a Grand Total
of $143,586.82
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant to the Director of Public Works (810-3542)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests City
Council award of bid for the 2021 Dickinson Hall Tuck Pointing Project to the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder, Bruce Brugioni Construction, in amount of $130,533.47 to include a
10% contingency amount of $13,053.35 for a grand total of $143,586.82.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Dickinson Hall, located on the historical Grove Campus, is home
to the Lake Forest – Lake Bluff Senior Center. Dickinson Hall was built in the 1930s, acquired by
the City in the late 1990s, and was most recently renovated in 2000. The majority of the
building’s exterior brick is original and requires the tuck pointing of historic lime mortar to
preserve the brick. Tuck pointing is an important process to maintain the integrity of a
building’s brick masonry. As mortar deteriorates, it allows more water to seep into the
masonry.
After Building Maintenance Section staff identified areas of exterior mortar grout decay, staff
enlisted the help of Leverett Masonry Consulting to inspect current conditions of the exterior,
develop design specifications in order to preserve the historic brick and mortar, and assist
with the bidding process and project oversight. Leverett Masonry Consulting provided similar
services on the recent restoration of the Lake Forest Cemetery front gate. The exterior tuck

pointing and other masonry repairs included in this project will help preserve the building for
many years into the future.

Approval
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: On July 16, 2021, City staff initiated the public bidding process.
Fifteen contractors attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting and on August 6, 2021 the City
received seven sealed as outlined below.
Has City staff obtained competitive pricing for proposed goods/services? Yes
Company Name Total Project Cost
Berglund Construction Company $55,000.00
Bruce Brugioni Construction $130,533.47
Action One Construction Inc. $141,000.00
Carving in Stone Inc. $154,000.00
Cruz Brother’s Construction Company $155,785.00
A-One Group $246,200.00
Union Contracting $249,300.00
The low bid received from Berglund Construction Company immediately presented concerns
to both City Staff and Leverett Masonry Consulting. Berglund Construction Company’s bid is
substantially lower than the Leverett Masonry Consulting’s original project construction
estimate of $160,000. In addition, the range of the six other bids received were much more in
line with the construction estimate. City staff and Leverett Masonry Consulting were in
agreement to reject the low bid from Berglund Construction Company due a
misunderstanding of the project scope.
Bruce Brugioni Construction has considerable experience working with historic masonry and
lime mortar. The company has completed multiple residential and commercial projects
throughout The City of Lake Forest. Bruce Brugioni Construction also previously and
successfully completed historic tuck pointing for the City at Gorton Community Center. City
staff and Leverett Masonry Consulting were in agreement in identifying and recommending
Bruce Brugioni Construction as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

with 20-10 Engineering Group and HOH Group for Facility Mechanical Engineering
Services
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant to the Director of Public Works (810-3542)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests City
Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with 20-
10 Engineering Group and HOH Group for facility mechanical engineering services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City of Lake Forest regularly contracts with outside service
providers to perform professional mechanical engineering services for various facility projects.
In an effort to improve efficiency and provide consistency on City projects, the Public Works
Committee and City staff is seeking to establish an agreement that will designate two
engineering firms, 20-10 Engineering Group and HOH Group., to provide professional
mechanical engineering services. Either firm may be selected, however, the firm selected will
depend on the firm’s availability and the project type.
Professional engineering services for mechanical engineering projects will include, but are not
limited to, the development of schematic design, final design and construction documents,
bidding documents and bid process support, and project construction oversight. Additionally,
the selected firms will be expected to collaborate with City staff in the development of a
proposed project designs.
An example of a project that the City expects the approved professional mechanical
engineering services firms to complete would be the design of a project related to a facility
HVAC replacement. The selected firm would need to design and develop all the related
replacement specifications and bidding documentation in order for the City to place the
project out to bid for contractor installation services.
This RFP process was modeled after recent City Council approved RFP’s for professional
landscape architectural services and professional ravine engineering services. Similarly, these
agreements were recommended to improve efficiency and provide consistency on City
projects.

10. Approval of a Resolution Committing Local Funds for the 2021 Safe Routes to School
Program for The City of Lake Forest Project Grant Application and the Authorization
of the City Manager to Execute Related Grant Application Documents
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Lockefeer, Assistant to the Director of Public Works (810-3542)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and City staff requests
approval of a Resolution committing Local Funds for the 2021 Safe Routes to School Program
for The City of Lake Forest Project grant application and the authorization of the City
Manager to execute related grant application documents.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Illinois Safe Routes to School Program (“SRTS”) is a federal
program administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”). The SRTS program
supports projects and programs that enable and encourage walking and bicycling to and
from school. The program applies to schools serving grades Kindergarten through 8th grade.
All infrastructure projects must be completed within a 2-mile radius of a school.
SRTS funds are awarded competitively and any local government, school, or school district is
eligible to apply. Project sponsors may receive up to eighty (80) percent reimbursement for
12
Monday, September 20, 2021 City Council Agenda
eligible project costs. This year, SRTS will provide $12 million in federal funding. The deadline for
application submittals is September 30, 2021 and successful application awards are
anticipated to be announced in the Spring of 2022.
City staff and the Public Works Committee have identified an eligible sidewalk connection
project in the Whispering Oaks Subdivision just south of Cherokee School. This project is
specifically located along Longwood Drive, Morningside Drive, Grandview Avenue, and
Beverly Place. Currently, the sidewalks around these blocks do not connect across
intersections. Completing these sidewalk connections would meet the overall goal of the SRTS
program in improving conditions for walking and biking to school. In addition, these sidewalk
improvements would also improve accessibility.
In order to submit the project grant application, SRTS requires a Resolution committing local
funds for the project. On page 29 of the packet, a copy of the proposed project Resolution is
included.

Approval of this Resolution affirms that the City is committed to the project and pledges to
fund the required local share if grant funding were awarded. In addition, the City would
agree to fund any project cost overruns. If approved, City staff intends to designate this
project as grant dependent in the Fiscal Year 2023 Capital Improvement Program. If project
funds are awarded, the City would need to formalize a funding agreement with IDOT. This
agreement would be brought to City Council for review and approval.

STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The following recommendations from the Zoning Board of
Appeals are presented to the City Council for consideration as part of the Omnibus Agenda.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
342 N. Western Avenue – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of a variance from
the lot-in-depth setback to allow construction of a two car garage on the west side of the house.
Two neighboring property owners testified, one in support of the petition and the other noted
concerns about existing drainage issues on his property. The Board directed that the City Engineer
be informed of the neighbor’s concerns prior to review of the drainage and grading plan. (Board
vote: 6-0 recommending approval)
2 June Terrace – The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of front and side yard
variances to allow various updates and limited expansion of an existing, small, nonconforming
residence and replacement of a nonconforming single car garage. There was no testimony
presented to the Board. The Board recognized that the small lot and the nonconforming conditions
present a challenge and noted that with respect to the house, the extent of the proposed side
yard encroachment aligns with the existing footprint of the house and with respect to the garage,
the new garage is setback further from the property line than the existing garage. (Board vote: 5 -2
recommending approval)
293 Rose Terrace - The Zoning Board of Appeals recommended approval of front and side yard
setback variances to allow the addition of an open front porch. No public testimony was
presented on this petition. (Board vote: 6-0 recommending approval)

ORDINANCES
OLD BUSINESS
NEW BUSINESS
1. Consideration of an Appeal of a Decision of the Historic Preservation Commission to Deny a
Certificate of Appropriateness for the Third Condominium Building in the McKinley Road
Multi-Family Planned Development. (Action by Motion)
Mayor Pandaleon made a statement providing details of the process the City Council will follow for the item
presented. Specifically, Mayor Pandaleon stated that the Council would not be conducting a public hearing
on this appeal as that hearing had been held by the Historic Preservation Commission. He also noted that
the zoning and development approvals were not the subject of this hearing. He addressed various
communications submitted by an attorney for neighboring residents, and noted that in his opinion, the City
Council had jurisdiction to consider the appeal tonight.
City Attorney, Julie Tappendorf, then provided additional information regarding the appeal process. She
stated that the City Council had the authority to consider an appeal of the Historic Preservation
Commission’s decision to deny an application for a certificate of appropriateness. She also noted that the
Council had been provided with a significant amount of information and documentation relating to the
Commission’s hearings and proceedings. She stated that the City Code provides that the Council is to
consider the same standards as the Commission but that is not the only consideration and the Council is to
consider the standards in the context of the Council’s other responsibilities to the City, including the
responsibility to promote the public health, safety, and welfare and its fiduciary responsibilities to the City.
Director of Community Development, Catherine Czerniak, presented a brief background of the McKinley
Road development. Ms. Czerniak began by providing the history of the first two Phases of the project that
are completed. Additionally, she explained the timeline of this project, and the outcomes at its various
levels of discussion.

Proceedings of the Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Regular City Council Meeting
The Appellant, Peter Witmer, made a presentation about its appeal, explaining the changes that were made
to the proposed project to address concerns raised by the Historic Preservation Commission about the
project. Mr. Witmer stated that he believe the Commission erred in denying his application when it adopted
findings that were contrary to its decision, and requested the decision of the Historic Preservation
Commission be overturned.
Alderman Morris provided a statement recusing himself from the proceedings of this item.
Mayor Pandaleon asked members of the City Council to provide brief preliminary comments regarding the
McKinley Road development project to see where the Council stands before going to public comment.
Alderman Notz offered comments in support of overturning Historic Preservation Commission decision,
including his opinion that the application satisfies the standards and that the process was thorough and fair
to all parties.
Alderman Buschmann offered comments in support of upholding the Historic Preservation Commission
decision. He stated that the Commission did make findings that the standards weren’t met and that the
Council should affirm the Commission and deny the appeal.
Alderman Rummel offered comments in support of upholding the Historic Preservation Commission
decision for numerous reasons, including that the application failed to meet all of the standards and based
on the Council’s fiduciary responsibility.
Alderman Weber stated she was inclined to uphold the Historic Preservation Commission decision.
Alderman Karras also stated she was in favor of upholding the Historic Preservation Commission decision.
Alderman Preschlack offered comments in support of overturning Historic Preservation Commission
decision. He stated his opinion that upholding the Commission does not strike the right balance. He stated
six reasons for his opinion, including the potential legal liability if the City Council denied the appeal, the
potential chilling effect on future development.
Alderman Goshgarian offered comments in support of overturning Historic Preservation Commission
decision. He stated his opinion that the standards were met and that the Commission erred in denying the
application.
Mayor Pandaleon opened public comment.
Robert Grabemann, Attorney for the Neighbors, provided comments to the City Council on behalf of the
residents in the historic district. He stated that the appeal is based on a misrepresentation of the
Commission hearing and that Commission members stated that certain standards were not met. He asked
the Council to uphold the HPC decision.
Regina Lind offered comments to the City Council including her opinion that the north façade is not
compatible.
Tim Downey offered comments to the City Council including his opinion that the application did not meet
the standards and that there would be litigation either way.
Mark Pasquesi offered comments to the City Council including that upholding the Commission would chill
future development and be a setback for Lake Forest and asked the Council to overturn the Commission.
20
Proceedings of the Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Regular City Council Meeting
Susan Athenson offered comments to the City Council in her role as President of the Lake Forest
Preservation Foundation. She asked the Council to uphold the Commission and stated her opinion that the
application failed standards 1, 8, 10, 14, 2-6, 8, 9, and 11 and that it is not visually compatible.
Tom Prarie offered comments to the City Council, including that he had submitted a letter to the Council. He
expressed his opinion that the rooftop use was a problem and asked the Council to uphold the Commission.
Leslie Lardino offered comments to the City Council, stating that she was not opposed to a building but that
the proposed building does not fit and the scale and brick do not match the houses in the area.
Tom Swarthout offered comments to the City Council, including his agreement with Alderman Preschlak and
provided examples of previous developments that had opposition. He stated his opinion that the decision to
deny the project was a big disappointment to him and most of Lake Forest.
Reed Dailey offered comments to the City Council including his opinion that the project would impact his
home and a condo project was not a transition to the neighborhood
Stephanie Capparelli offered comments to the City Council, including her opinion that the building was not
visually compatible and she appreciated the Commission’s decision to deny the project.
Jeff Torosian offered comments to the City Council including that the Commission’s decision was not close
and that the Council should listen to the Commission.
Arthur Miller offered comments to the City Council including that he supported the Commission’s decision.
Patrick Corsiglia offered comments to the City Council, stating that when he purchased a unit in a
neighboring building he knew there would be a third building and that the City should live up to its
commitment to the developer.
Bud Angelus offered comments to the City Council including that the proposed rooftop use caused problems
with residents.
Tom Sweeny offered comments to the City Council including that the City’s treatment of residents is unjust
and nobody wants to live in Lake Forest.
James Sharron offered comments to the City Council, including his opinion that the City should protect
single family homes.
Mayor Pandaleon then provided an opportunity to the Appellant to respond to public comments.
Mr. Witmer asked about a statement made regarding potential conflicts of interest. Attorney Tappendorf
responded that she was aware of no conflict of interest that would preclude an Alderman from voting on
this appeal.
Following public comment, Mayor Pandaleon asked the Council if they had additional remarks.
Alderman Buschmann provided his opinions as to the proposed development. He then stated his
disagreement with the Appellant’s claim in its appeal that the HPC found all relevant 17 criteria were met,
stating that based on the record and HPC’s deliberations, the HPC had determined several specific standards
were not met. He suggested a remand to the HPC if the Council felt the HPC’s real intentions were not clear.
Otherwise he asked for the opportunity at the appropriate time to make a motion to deny Petitioner’s
appeal and affirm the HPC’s decision to deny a Certificate of Appropriates for three reasons. First, he stated
his opinion that the basis of the appeal is faulty and without merit. Second, he stated that a review of the
21
Proceedings of the Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Regular City Council Meeting
record confirms that several relevant standards are not met, including the reasons stated in a
communication from the Lake Forest Preservation Foundation dated 9-1-21. And third, he stated that the
Council’s broader responsibility for the welfare of its citizens and its fiduciary responsibility justifies denial.
Alderman Goshgarian provided comments regarding the completion of the project, and the Historic
Preservation Commission meeting minutes. He also discussed the existing zoning of the property and the
PUD approval, and that development should be considered as a whole.
Alderman Weber provided comments regarding the architectural aspects of the project. She stated that she
is in favor of multi-family but wants the building redesigned to be a better transition and had hoped the
Commission would have approved a better project.
Alderman Karras provided comments regarding development in the historic district and discussed 4 factors,
including the responsibility to all Lake Forest residents, the Commission finding that 5 standards were not
met, the Council following Commission decisions, and that it would be bad precedent to overturn the
Commission.
Alderman Rummel provided additional comments regarding the Historic Preservation Commissions decision
and how it relates to the 17 standards of appropriateness. She stated that an application only needs to fail
one standard to justify a denial. She stated that standards 1, 8, 2, 6, 7, 10, 4, 11, and 14 were not met. She
stated that many of these were discussed during the Commission hearings, and she referenced building
height compatibility, roof shapes, building massing, entrance porch, building materials, architectural style as
standards that were not met. She stated that the City Code allows the Council to consider its fiduciary
responsibility, as well as the health, safety, and welfare. She stated that the Council should listen to the
Commission, Preservation Foundation, and residents, reject the applicant’s and staff’s findings, and uphold
the Commission.
COUNCIL ACTION: Options for Council action are offered below in the form of possible motions.
Any of these require a motion and a second along with a roll call vote.
1. Deny the appeal and uphold the Historic Preservation Commission’s decision to deny a Certificate
of Appropriateness for the third condominium in the McKinley Road Multi-Family Planned
Development.
OR
2. Grant the appeal and overturn the Historic Preservation Commission’s decision.
OR
3. Remand the matter to the Historic Preservation Commission for further consideration, public
testimony and action.
Mayor Pandaleon asked if members had any questions of the petitioner. Seeing none he asked for a motion.
Mayor Pandaleon asked the City Attorney to clarify what a particular vote on a motion means prior to the
City Council voting.
Alderman Buschmann asked for assistance from the City Attorney in framing a motion based on option 1. He
then made a motion to deny the appeal and uphold the Historic Preservation Commission’s decision to deny
a Certificate of Appropriateness for the third condominium in the McKinley Road Multi-Family Planned
Development. He based his motion on the three grounds he had noted earlier, as well as the statements
and findings presented by Aldermen Rummel, Weber and Karras, statements made by certain
Commissioners at the July 12, 2021 hearing of the Historic Preservation Commission, as well as other
22
Proceedings of the Tuesday, September 7, 2021
Regular City Council Meeting
evidence supporting the Commission’s decision and the finding that the appeal is without merit and the
application did not meet the applicable standards to justify a certificate of appropriateness. Seconded by
Alderman Rummel.
The City Attorney explained that a yes vote means that an Alderman agrees with the HPC decision to deny
the application and a no vote means an Alderman does not agree with the HPC decision to deny the
application.
The following voted “Aye”: Alderman Karras, Rummel, Buschmann and Weber. The following voted “Nay”:
Alderman, Notz, Preschlack and Goshgarian. The following Abstained: Alderman Morris. 4-Ayes, 3-Nays, 1-
