3. Consideration of Two Requests to Waive the Fidelity Bond Requirement in
Connection with Holding a Raffle in The City of Lake Forest. (Approval by Motion)
STAFF CONTACT: Margaret Boyer, City Clerk (847.810.3674)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests City Council consideration of waiving the
fidelity bond requirement in connection with two proposed raffles.
BACKGROUND: In January 2020 the City Council approved an Ordinance Amending Chapter
110, titled “Licenses and Miscellaneous” related to Raffles, to align these sections with recent
State of Illinois Legislation. Section 110.0149, J, allows the raffle manager designated by the
organization to seek a waiver of the bond requirement from the City Council.
At this time two organizations are requesting a waiver of the bond requirement. Both
Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital and the Lake Forest Lake Bluff Chamber of
Commerce have submitted requests. A copy of the requests can be found beginning on
page 21.

4. Approval of the Third Amendment to the Kemper Sports Management Agreement
and the costs associated with the changes
STAFF CONTACT: Sally Swarthout, Director- Parks, Recreation, Forestry (847-810-3942)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests the approval of the Third Amendment to the
Kemper Sports Management Agreement.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Third Management Agreement addresses an important issue
within the original contract signed in 2015 and the updated contract in 2018. It restructures
the insurance articles to reflect a realignment of responsibilities by Kemper Sports
Management and The City of Lake Forest.
After review by IRMA, AncelGlink, and representatives for Kemper Sports Management, the
realignment of the insurance responsibilities include changes to the following sections:
Article 7- Insurance
7.1 Insurance coverage
7.1.1 Insurance Maintained by Owner
A) Property Insurance covering loss or damage to the buildings, structures or
other Improvements, contents, equipment and supplies- No changes made
B) Commercial Business Automobile Liability Insurance- clearly states City owned
vehicles and removes non-owned and hired vehicles from the coverage
C) Business Interruption, Loss of Income and Extra Expense Insurance- removes
Kemper Sports Management from coverage
Note: Commercial General Liability and/or Umbrella/Excess Liability and Commercial
Liquor Liability has been removed from insurance maintained by owner and moved to
insurance maintained by Kemper Sports Management.
7.1.2 Insurance Maintained by Kemper Sports Management
A) Employment Practices, Directors and Officers Fiduciary and Crime
Liability Insurance- No change to verbiage
B) Worker’s Compensation Insurance- No change to verbiage
C) Fidelity Bond or Fidelity Insurance-No change to verbiage
D) Commercial Liquor Liability- moved to Kemper from Owner maintained
insurance
E) Commercial General Liability and/or Umbrella/Excess Liability- move to
Kemper from Owner maintained Insurance
7.1.3 Additional Insured Status- change acknowledges that each party has
made no representation or warranty that the above coverages are
sufficient to fully protect the other party.
Monday, October 4, 2021 City Council Agenda
7.2 Option for Kemper Sports Management to Provide Insurance- change
includes Property Insurance waiver of all recovery by way of subrogation
against Kemper Sports Management has been removed
7.3 Waiver of Subrogation- removed based on recommendation from City attorneys
Article 9- Indemnification
9.1 Owner’s Indemnification Obligations- removal of reference to 7.3
9.2 Kemper Sports Management Indemnification Obligations- removal of reference
to 7.3
9.3 Survival- removed and verbiage added to 9.1 and 9.2
These changes to Articles 7 and 9 have clarified and corrected some issues left standing by
the original 2015 and updated 2018 agreements. The existing Agreement required the City to
take on liability and exposure for actions performed by Kemper Sports Management and this
amendment corrects that by transferring the risk to Kemper Sports Management. A copy of
the redline version of the proposed Amendment along with a clean copy is included in the
packet beginning on page 23.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be a small cost associated with these changes. The general liability fee will be
included in the golf course operational budget-Insurance Liability.

5. Approval of the Purchase of a New Automated Vehicle Entry Gate System for South
Beach Access in the Amount of $41,043
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Shaw, Director of Innovation & Technology, 847-810-3590
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval to purchase a new automated
sailing gate for the City’s Beach Sailing access road that includes license plate recognition.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In April 2021, the IT & Parks & Recreation Department evaluated
product offerings of newer technologies for improved resident experience for the Beach
Sailing venue. Currently Parks & Recreation utilizes a manual gate which is seasonally staffed
to monitor access to the Beach at the south entrance. Seeing an opportunity to improve
operations and provide an improved resident experience, various options were considered
Monday, October 4, 2021 City Council Agenda
and determined that additional technologies offered an increased value over a standard
mechanical gate. The evaluation identified the following desired functionalities:
1. License Plate Recognition / Automated Gate Operation
2. Temporary code assignments for day rentals
3. Opticom emergency access for Police and Fire, including considerations for mutual
aid from other communities
4. Remote monitoring and gate management capability
5. 24X7 automated operation

6. Approval to Renew an Agreement for Citizen Request Management System
(SeeClickFix) Licensing, Software Maintenance, and Additional Licensing for a Total of
$33,706
STAFF CONTACT: Jim Shaw, Director of Innovation and Technology (847-810-3590)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval to renew a one (1) year agreement
with Cartegraph Systems, Inc. for the SeeClickFix Citizen Request Management System which
includes maintenance services, renewal licensing, and additional licensing for expanded staff
support.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City implemented SeeClickFix in 2020 and was officially
launched in tandem with the City’s new website and mobile application. The system
interfaces with those two platforms to provide a way for City residents to report issues directly
to City staff. Those service requests are then assigned to City resources and tracked in the
SeeClickFix system while maintaining status communication with the resident until final
resolution of the request.
As this was a new software system accompanied by new processes for internal City staff, the
estimate for user licensing was kept at a modest level. Due to the success of internal City
departments (Public Works and Parks & Forestry) adopting the use of the system at faster rate
than expected, the need for additional licensing became apparent. Ensuring that all
resources who work on service requests have access to take action in the field promotes and
allows for streamlined process efficiencies for the operating areas in those departments. They
are able to use the system in real time without having to rely on a supervisor to process the
actions for them for the service request.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: On September 8, 2021 staff received the annual renewal quote from
Cartegraph. There were no additional fees associated with the renewal as presented.
Has City staff obtained competitive pricing for proposed goods/services? No

7. Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Four-Year Agreement with the Illinois
Department of Transportation for the Plowing and Salting of Route 43 (Rte. 176-Rte. 22)
and Route 60 (Rte. 41-Field Drive) for the Winters of ‘21/’22 through 24’/’25
Monday, October 4, 2021 City Council Agenda
STAFF CONTACT: Michael Thomas, Director of Public Works (810-3540)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council authorization to allow the
City Manager to enter into a four-year agreement with the Illinois Department of
Transportation for the plowing and salting of Route 43 (Rte. 176-Rte. 22) and Route 60 (Rte. 41-
Field Drive) for the winters of ‘20/’21 through ‘24/’25.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT hereafter) is
responsible for plowing and salting all State-owned roadways. In Lake Forest, this includes
Rte. 41, 43, and 60. Equipment to plow these roads comes from IDOT’s Gurnee Maintenance
Facility. Over recent years, IDOT has had its challenges meeting the obligation of plowing
Rte. 43 & 60 in a timely manner. For many years, IDOT has had problems with reliability of its
older snow plow fleet and was limited on the hours its mechanics could spend repairing said
equipment. This, along with reductions in IDOT’s operating budget, resulted in many State
roadways receiving less than expected snow removal and salting services.
For the past two winters, The City of Lake Forest has entered into one year agreements with
IDOT to plow and salt these two State routes. The first-year agreement was created as a pilot
program to see if both the City could incorporate the added responsibilities into its snow
program while meeting IDOT’s quality and response time expectations. After the first year the
City had informed IDOT it would be interested in pursuing a 10-year agreement. IDOT
responded that such long-term agreements were created in their Springfield office and that
they did not believe they could have an agreement completed in time for the upcoming
winter. IDOT therefore proposed entering into an identical agreement with the same
financial terms for last winter.
This past spring, the City once again requested a long term agreement. IDOT officials agreed
to create such an agreement and that the term would be four years in order to align Lake
Forest with all other existing maintenance agreements between the State and other
municipalities. In year 2025, IDOT stated that they will review and renew all of these
agreements. In 2025, if the City were interested, it could enter into a 10-year agreement with
IDOT.
The following chart provides a breakdown of the costs associated with the past two winter’s
program. I DOT has paid the City in full per each year’s agreed amount of $93,131.36.

City Council December 2, 2019 Approved the Winter
2019/2020 IDOT Agreement
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The total four-year agreement amount is $282,972. This equates to
an annual amount of $70,743; $22,388.36 less than the $93,131.36 provided for each of the
past two fiscal years. Staff inquired with IDOT as to the reasoning for the reduction. Staff was
told that because the City had requested a long term agreement, IDOT’s Department
headquarters in Springfield creates those agreements, not staff at District 1 in
Schaumburg. Springfield staff noted that the agreement calculations and terms are the
same as all 10-year municipal agreements. They noted that with the past two agreements
being created and approved in Schaumburg’s District 1 office, there was more flexibility to
increase the amount provided. They noted that this increase was based on IDOT’s significant
need for winter assistance. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the terms of
agreement as they are very similar to the past two agreements.
For Fiscal Year 2021, the Department’s operating budget did not include the revenue nor the
additional expenses related to this agreement, as the City was in the first pilot year for
providing these services. Fiscal year 2022 had similar circumstances. Although a
supplemental appropriation is not anticipated, if needed, it would be presented for City
Council approval at the end of the fiscal year.
With regards to salt, the City currently has 2,040 tons of salt on hand. At the March 15, 2021
City Council meeting, City Council approved the purchase of an additional 2,400 tons of salt
for either the upcoming or following winter. 1,918 tons remain available to order from the
approved 2,400 tons.
With regards to equipment, the FY ’22 capital equipment budget included the purchase of
an additional mini-loader to assist with the overall plowing and salting of the two State routes.
Use of an additional mini-loader removes the need for a five-yard dump truck in the CBD. This
truck has now been re-assigned to assist the current one truck working both State routes.
As far as manpower and potential impacts from Covid, Department staff are updating its
contingency plan for the upcoming winter. Staff is updating its plan that involves all levels of
the Department as well as incorporating personnel from other Departments. Staff feels
confident that it will be able to provide plowing and salting services for all Lake Forest
roadways and Routes 43 & 60.
COUNCIL ACTIONS: Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Four-Year Agreement with the
Illinois Department of Transportation for the Plowing and Salting of Route 43 (Rte. 176-Rte. 22)
and Route 60 (Rte. 41-Field Drive) for the Winters of ‘21/’22 through 24’/’25

8. SUBJECT: Award of Bid for the Replacement of Two CSO Pick-Up Trucks for the Police
Department to Miles Chevrolet in the Amount of $59,962
STAFF CONTACT: Dan Martin, Superintendent of Public Works (810-3561)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff is requesting City Council award a bid for the
replacement of two Police Department CSO pick-up trucks.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Police Department CSO’s utilize a Chevrolet Silverado, a GO-
4 parking enforcement scooter, and an all-electric Polaris G.E.M. scooter. Police Department
staff are requesting replacement of both the Silverado and G.E.M. scooter with two smaller
pick-up trucks. The FY ’22 capital equipment budget includes funding for the replacement of
an unmarked squad car, # 16. Both Police Department staff and the Fleet Maintenance
Supervisor agree that the current CSO pick-up truck, with its higher mileage and current
mechanical condition (149,000 miles versus 87,000 miles on car # 16) should be replaced
instead of car # 16. Additionally, Police Department staff are requesting replacement of the
Polaris G.E.M. scooter via the Department’s Police Restricted Fund, also referred to in the past
as the Seizure Fund. The second request is due to an increased CSO presence on each patrol
shift and an enhanced Department response to large scale emergency or severe weather
events.
The three year old Silverado has accrued approximately 149,000 miles and will be moved into
the City’s vehicle pool system for various City uses throughout the year. The second of the two
parking scooters, the all-electric G.E.M. has been moved to the Cemetery. The Polaris G.E.M.
scooter was placed into service in 2017. With its all electric drivetrain, the CSO’s could not rely
on a charge being sufficient to last an entire shift of dedicated parking enforcement. The
scooter used standard nickel cadmium marine batteries; an upgrade to more energy efficient
lithium-ion pack was cost prohibitive (approximately $15,000-$20,000). As it was used,
Department staff learned that the unit was not built for operation in cold climates. Its heater
was intentionally small to conserve an electrical charge and could not adequately heat the
vehicle in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The electric range was significantly
impacted during winter months (nearly half) which required a two-hour recharge mid-shift,
negatively affecting parking enforcement efforts. Finally, the unit’s design incorporated too
high of torque on its front wheels. This caused excessive wheel spin on wet or snowy pavement;
alternative tires were installed, but this did not resolve wheel spin issue.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: As previously noted, the current Chevrolet Silverado will be placed in
the City’s vehicle pool system. An older pick-up truck will be traded in on the first purchase and
funded via the City’s Capital Fund. The second pick-up will be funded via the Police
Department’s Restricted Fund which has been verified by legal counsel as an allowable use of
the funds.

*Anthony Buick / GMC noted eleven basic packages and/or options that were not available
due to the “global supply chain”. Because of these exceptions, their bid did not meet the
bid specification.
The City’s fleet of pickups, one ton dumps, and building inspection vehicles is 98% GM
products. The City has had very good experience with these vehicles and has a good
working relationship with surrounding GM dealerships. With a majority of the fleet being GM
vehicles, the mechanics are able to streamline repairs and the parts inventory is minimized
due to many common parts. Warranty work can be completed at any GM dealership and
parts are readily available throughout the area. Staff therefore recommends awarding the
bid to lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Has competitive pricing been obtained for proposed goods/services? Yes
Per the Purchasing Directive 3-5, staff sent bid specifications to multiple dealerships, had the
invitation to bid printed in a local newspaper, and placed all specifications on the City’s
website.
If the bid is awarded by City Council, staff anticipates receiving the replacement trucks in
late spring / early summer, 2022. Below is a summary of the two pick-up truck’s budgets. The

1. Consideration of an Ordinance Approving a Purchase and Donation Agreement with
Hart Lake Forest, LLC and the Ragdale Foundation Regarding Property Generally
Located at 1272 N. Green Bay Road, Lake Forest, Illinois (First Reading, and if Desired
by the City Council, Final Approval)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is asked to consider approving, by Ordinance, a
Purchase and Donation Agreement that will reassemble a large portion of the original Howard Van
Monday, October 4, 2021 City Council Agenda
Doren Shaw Ragdale Farm Property, place it under City ownership at no cost to the City, and
enhance the Ragdale Campus.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Through the generosity of the Hart/Lansing family, the City, in collaboration with the Ragdale
Foundation, has the opportunity to reassemble a significant portion of the original Ragdale Farm.
Members of the Hart and Lansing family have, for many years, envisioned reconnecting portions of
the 5.581 acre Hart property with the Ragdale Campus not only for the benefit of Ragdale, but to
assure that this historic and environmentally sensitive property is preserved and protected long into
the future for the benefit of the Lake Forest community and artists worldwide. The Hart family has
had a long and close personal relationship with the descendants of Howard Van Doren Shaw, the
original owner and architect of the Ragdale Farm.
The transfer of just over two acres of the Hart property to the City is made possible by the
Hart/Lansing family’s desire to make a combination sale and donation of the property to the City
and by the Ragdale Foundation’s willingness to fund the purchase of the property. A lead donor
has stepped forward with a significant contribution to the Ragdale Foundation to make this
transaction possible. After the purchase, the property will be owned by the City as is the majority of
the existing Ragdale Campus, and Ragdale will continue to operate on the expanded City owned
site under the terms of an Operating Agreement and Special Use Permit, both of which will be
amended to reflect the expanded property. The details of the three party transaction are detailed
in the Purchase and Donation Agreement included in the Council packet beginning on page 47.
This transaction includes various components which are detailed in the documents included in the
Council packet. Highlights of the key elements of the Purchase and Donation Agreement is
provided below.
Hart Donation Parcel – Just over two acres of the Hart property will be transferred to the City
of Lake Forest under the terms of the Purchase and Donation Agreement.
Ragdale Foundation – The Foundation will fund the purchase of the property from the
Hart/Lansing family.
Retained Properties - The Hart/Lansing family will retain portions of the Hart property, 3.464
acres for continue use by family members.
Easement – The Hart/Lansing family will retain an access easement over a portion of the Hart
donation parcel.
Right of First Refusal – The City and the Ragdale Foundation will hold a senior and junior right,
respectively, of first refusal to purchase the properties retained by the Hart/Lansing family if
the sale of all or any portion of the Retained Properties is contemplated in the future.
Amendments to the Operating Agreement and Special Use Permit and Property Line Shift –
The Purchase and Donation Agreement acknowledges that further City reviews and
approval are required to update various documents governing Ragdale’s operation on the
expanded property.
“Donut Hole Parcel” – Unrelated to the Hart Donation Parcel, the City and the Ragdale
Foundation are taking this opportunity to clean up a long standing ownership anomaly. A
Monday, October 4, 2021 City Council Agenda
small parcel internal to the Ragdale Campus, “the donut hole” was conveyed by a
descendant of Howard Van Doren Shaw directly to the Ragdale Foundation. Both the City
and the Foundation have discussed transfer of this parcel over many years for consistency
with the ownership of the overall property. This transfer is incorporated into the Purchase and
Donation Agreement.
Importantly, the operation and uses on the Ragdale Campus will not change as a result of the
incorporation of the additional property into the City’s ownership and the Ragdale Campus.
Instead, the addition of the Hart property will provide the opportunity to improve upon the space
currently available to accommodate artists with a variety of talents and abilities and will provide
additional outdoor space to support the Ragdale Ring and other low intensity activities.
An updated Master Plan for the expanded Ragdale Campus will be considered through a Special
Use Permit amendment process. A public hearing on the amended Special Use Permit is
anticipated in November before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Concurrently, work is underway to
update the Operating Agreement between the City and the Ragdale Foundation. If the Council
approves the Purchase and Donation Agreement, it is expected that both of these documents will
be before the Council for consideration in December, 2021, with the closing on the Hart Property
following shortly thereafter. Council consideration of the Purchase and Donation Agreement is an
important next step in allowing the other work to proceed.
In summary, the collaboration of the various parties on this project; the Hart/Lansing family, the
Ragdale Foundation and staff, and the City, is yet another example of the value of long term
planning but more importantly, of the amazing generosity of community members and the value
placed on preserving and building upon the unique character and qualities of Lake Forest.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first reading
and grant final approval of the Ordinance
1) Approving the Purchase and Donation Agreement; and
2) Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Purchase and Donation
Agreement; and
3) Authorizing and directing the City Manager to take all steps necessary to implement
and enforce the terms of the Purchase and Donation Agreement.
